Do You Ever Think About Just How Many Kids Were Supposed To Die Fighting In The Hunger Games.

do you ever think about just how many kids were supposed to die fighting in the hunger games.

we know that there were at least 80 quarter quells planned by the creators and game makers. thats 2,000 games. assuming all those games played out and the only year with more than 24 tributes was the second quarter quell, which had 48 tributes, 48,024 district children should have entered the arena. 2,000 should have gone home.

at least 46,024 district children were expected to die in the hunger games. we don’t have official numbers re: casualties from the first rebellion, but given how small the capitol is compared to the combined 13 districts it was battling, there is no way 46k capitol children even existed during the rebellion. the hunger games were never about revenge, they were always about control. crassus never wanted the districts to suffer in exchange for the suffering they caused. he wanted to watch kids fight to the death. the games were always a fantasy of pure gladiatorial combat conducted for entertainment purposes and nothing more.

not counting the third quarter quell, 1,725 district kids lost their lives in the arena. the remaining 75 tributes - a good number of whom died before the second rebellion - were permanently traumatized physically and mentally.

all because of one man and the son who grew up to be his replica. crassus and coriolanus have the blood of 1,725 children their hands and were prepared to sacrifice 44,300 more.

Grian has been fishing for 3 whole episodes. This means all the next Hermitcraft fan songs about Grian have to be sea shanties.

i like that the manga explains light's secret drawer situation a lot more clearly and actually bothers to show him going to the hardware store for materials. however. from an engineering perspective i have so many hilarious questions. ryuuk mentions that he spent a long time choosing the board he would use which i take to mean he got the exact right size he needed but realistically that's highly unlikely given that he needs it to be flush against all sides in order to not give away that its a false bottom drawer. even if he got it cut to size in store, employees are notoriously not professionals and do not get paid enough to be precise (for the purposes of this post let us assume the same is true in home depot: japan). which leads me to: light yagami trying to sneak a 1x4 into his house without looking suspicious. light yagami learning about woodstains to match the exact shade of his furniture and trying to do his little DIY project in his room (terrible idea) without anyone smelling the fumes. light yagami like hey dad can i borrow the table saw and uuhh the sander. don't question it (soichiro: oh thank god he's not gay). and that's not even getting into the soldering and troubleshooting he would've had to do without blowing his hands off. where did he get the gasoline. did he siphon it out of a car or did he go to the gas station like hi id like to buy one gasoline please

I saw this and felt like it should be shared here too
