District 1 - Tumblr Posts

Haven’t really drawn anything new these past weeks because of school so have a compilation of Hunger Games art of some of the Victors both OCs and canon

By the time of the trilogy, Careers and their volunteering has become a common practice as Katniss is faced with one (books) to possibly three (movies) volunteers from the so-called Career Districts.

In the prequel, volunteering is not yet a common practice. The tenth Hunger Games lack the entertainment quality the trilogy has, where we possibly get the first parade (TBOSAS, 9), a first version of stylists (TBOSAS, 11), and a sponsor system (TBOSAS, 7) with many more changes to come in the epilogue. Many have theorised that Quarter Quells did not yet exist and would later be invented by Snow and his mentor.

The First Quarter Quell remains a mystery to us outside of its premise. We learn that “as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence, every district was made to hold an election and vote on the tributes who would represent it.” (CF, 12).

Due to its voting for a tribute, it could be possible that the First Quarter Quell popularised volunteering in some Districts.

The initial task for the First Quarter Quell indicates punishment: It wants to remind the rebels that their children are not safe, thus targeting those within the District communities who had fought against their oppressors. The election is meant to sow distrust among each other: fear that one’s neighbours will vote for one’s child. The Capitol wants to prevent another uprising by separating community.

However, some Districts might have defied this concept: They could have talked amongst each other who would be the likeliest to survive the arena, and possibly had children volunteer to be elected. This concept would have offered safety for everyone else, and those who volunteered to be voted for would likely have been seen as brave protecting those who might have had to go into the arena instead.

This tactic could have gained popularity in the Career Districts—District 1, 2, and 4—and could have been brought up the year after the First Quarter Quell:

If tributes had been seen as heroic protectors of the community, why not apply this system for the years after the First Quarter Quell? Why not have the strongest volunteer?

Through this, a culture could have developed: Different Career Districts would likely develop at different speeds and into different directions. District 2 might have developed this concept faster and moved more into the general bravery of the tributes, whereas District 4 might have taken longer and moved into the aspect of protecting the community more.

The First Quarter Quell as the starting moment for professionalised volunteering marks it as an interesting moment in history. It would line up with the other two known Quarter Quells, which both defied the Capitol in unexpected ways: Haymitch’s abuse of the forcefield as a weapon, and Katniss’ destruction of the arena are both ways that left the Quarter Quells with long-lasting effects against the Capitol.

This Quell, then, too, is a means of defying the Games. Children in the Career Districts no longer need to fear the Capitol in the same way they used to. Instead, weaker and poorer children would sleep safe and sound knowing someone will volunteer in their place.

STRANGER THINGS X HUNGER GAMES AU

The order that the members of the party won their games:

1. Jonathan (13) District 8

2. Steve (14) District 4

3. Will (12) District 8

4. Max (13) District 12 / Lucas (13) District 7 (they won on a quarter quell, 2 people could win that year)

5. Eddie (17) District 12

6. Nancy (17) District 1

7. Robin (18) District 5

8. Mike (17) District 1

9. Dustin (18) District 3

10. Erica (16) District 7

As you can see I changed their ages a bit.

Their ages: (sort of)

Steve, Jonathan, and Eddie are the same age (oldest)

Nancy and Robin are 1 year younger than Steve, Jonathan, and Eddie (middle)

Will, Mike, Lucas, Max, and Dustin are 2 years younger than Nancy and Robin and 3 years younger than Steve, Jonathan, and Eddie. (Also, middle)

Erica is 3 years younger than Lucas. (Youngest)

El/Jane is a mutation created by the capital that got out of their control and ended up in the arena in Mike's year. She is a year younger than Mike.

STRANGER THINGS X HUNGER GAMES AU NANCY WHEELER TRIBUTE FROM DISTRICT 1

She allied herself with a girl from District 3 named Barbara (Barb), and they made it down to the last four. They agreed to hunt the other two tributes down separately. She heard the canon and thought that Barb had succeeded until she saw her face in the sky that night.

STRANGER THINGS X HUNGER GAMES AU MIKE WHEELER TRIBUTE FROM DISTRICT 1

During his games, Mike acted like a normal career (so like an ass) until he met Eleven, who was a mutation created (experemented on) by the Capital and put into the games to cause mayhem. When she met Mike, he thought she was another tribute and ended up teaming up with her. He eventually found out she was a mut (mutation) but stuck by her anyway. They obviously fell for each other, but after the arena were there were no more life and death situations those feelings faded and they decided to stay friends.

Bonus: He took her back home to District 1. The capital tried to stop her from leaving, and she threw a van at them with her mind.
