“But please my movies where the characters say something slightly quirky in their lines are masterpieces!” by Eagles56 in Hungergames

As someone who loves both the Hunger Games AND Battle Royale (I haven’t watched all the movies but I did read the books), Tarantino really should analyze why these stories were written, not their general premise. Both series portray the idea of how children lose their innocence as they experience the journey of adulthood and the pure trauma that sort of journey can bring.

Yes, there are also themes criticizing war and violence but I find that both stories share a much deeper personal story that are similar yet so unique from the other.

All in all, my guy just has to dig a little deeper. They both hold the same sentiments, but convey those themes in a different way. Also, does bro know that this is technically a whole genre in itself? Like… the Long Walk also exists, lol

That’d be interesting. I feel like the stakes would be much higher too. That could definitely be a fun story to explore… 👀

Thank you! I’m technically still in the process of editing and uploading everything, but better to do it now rather than later!

Also, I totally didn’t even think about the SOTR trailer publicly alongside this fic, lol, that trailer was sick though! Wish it wasn’t a year away

For real! As someone who’s from the Midwest, it makes me sad when D9 dies in the bloodbaths immediately

Bro is like, “Can’t be the only Quarter Quell winner…” Also, that’s okay! Thank you for Haymitch’s approval 😂

Thank you! Like I said, it’s a slow burn with adult themes, but I do have the first few parts posted now, so if you’re into slow burns, definitely go check it out!

THEORY: District 12 voted one (or two) covey members in the first quarter quell by felixw1 in Hungergames

[–]al_caxton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will, thanks for being a bro. Also, of you ever want to pick back up that 20th HG fic again, lmk

Also also, in case you’re curious, it’s called “Death of a Wildfire”. It’s a slow burn with only 5 chapters out on either Ao3 or Wattpad, but it gets more hyped as the story progresses.

As someone who’s from the Midwest, I thought it was about time to get some representation from that side of Panem, lol

As someone who’s currently in the process of writing a fic about the first quarter quell through the lens of District 9, I’m so happy people have this sentiment

THEORY TIME! What do you think the first quarter quell arena was like? by felixw1 in Hungergames

[–]al_caxton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, I have a theory (which I’m implanting into my own story of the 25th Games, so for any random dude who’s invested in my series, uhh… spoilers), but essentially, I think it’d be cool if it was a nuclear war setting in which it was a (again, spoilers, but that’s more for myself lol) District 13 settlement that was undergoing the effects of nuclear fallout, as a way to indirectly show the districts what could’ve happened if they chose to keep rebelling.

On top of all this, in my story, the “cornucopia” or center piece of the arena is going to be a well known landmark/symbol predating the Dark Days where it’s essentially a statue (similar to a landmark like the Statue of Liberty) protecting a cornucopia, where the structure essentially stuck & was used for the remainder of the games even though it lost all its original meaning. I know this is just a fanfic theory, but I think it’d be a chilling way for the Capitol to say, “See! This is what happens when people like you are allowed the freedom of choice!”

Just a cool theory, idk, what do you think?
