#district 3

As promised here is my list of Covey-inspired names.

I tried to follow the typical naming convention of the first part of the name being a traditional folk poem or ballad, but I did add some names that differed from the typical names, and still fit the covey vibes. Suggestions appreciated :)

I also posted a list of shades of colors in case some people needed it!

The victors stayed under snow's control ever since he became president and as he forced them to relive their trauma with how they would mentor other children who would experience the same horrors as they do and the cycle continue , he stripped them of their youth and innocence and in alot of cases their families yet still still forced them in the position of themselves as entertainment for the capitol and condemned them to feel guilty and tramatized by the children that they couldn't save and lots of them turned to self distraction because of it and in the end he killed them after years and years of them scarfing their agency and sanity and being tools for him to keep the status quo he set an example with their deaths

All the victors deserved the chance to see a Free panem and to see the demise of the person who held them at gunpoint for years. They all deserved to get to experience a life without having to worry if they will fail another child, and they all deserved to get to heal and find love and learn to forgive themselves for the children that they couldn't save and they deserved to be resured that the future generations will grow up without fear of getting their name pulled and they deserve to be able to rebuild their lives and be allowed to see if they wanted to have kids since they will no longer have to be afraid of them getting reaped

All of District 1 and 2 and 4 victors deserved to see that the lies they were taught would never be taught again for other children that kids won't spend their lives training in the hopes of participating in a death match thinking that they were becoming heroes but in reality they were pawns the capitol was willing to discard at any moment

And yet out of 65 victors only 7 survived and got to see that JUST SEVEN like I love all of them as much as the next person but it's still tragic besides the district 12 victors who became their own little found family the other victors lost people who they have known for years and who were their neighbors and friends or colleges . Annie lost finnick and mags being the most obvious example but enobaria and Johanna and beetee also lost their colleges and would be the only ones left in victors village in their districts and the people who shared their burdens were gone

Because wdym Beetee had to watch his son get reaped, had to mentor him even in the training rooms where mentors don’t usually go, had to entrust him with this plan to destroy the arena only for it to barely do any damage and wind up being what killed him, and had to watch as the flesh from his son’s bones was torn off by mutts. Haymitch’s desperate attempts to save Ampert from a painful death did nothing. Oh, and Beetee and his wife have another baby on the way.

Did he have to spend the next 18 years of his life trying to ‘behave’ so they don’t kill his baby again like they killed Ampert. Unable to largely help with any rebellious efforts because he couldn’t lose another child.

"I didn't ask the tributes what they wanted because the answer seemed so obvious. You want to live. But then I realized, there are many desires beyond that. Mine had to do with my district partner. Protecting him." - Mags Flanagan, victor from District 4.

"I remember I didn't want to die at night. I didn't want to die in darkness. The thought terrified me." - Wiress, victor from District 3

““It’s mined,” I whisper. That explains everything. The Careers’ willingness to leave their supplies, Foxface’s reaction, the involvement of the boy from District 3, where they have the factories, where they make televisions and automobiles and explosives. But where did he get them? In the supplies? That’s not the sort of weapon the Gamemakers usually provide, given that they like to see the tributes draw blood personally. I slip out of the bushes and cross to one of the round metal plates that lifted the tributes into the arena. The ground around it has been dug up and patted back down. The land mines were disabled after the sixty seconds we stood on the plates, but the boy from District 3 must have managed to reactivate them. I’ve never seen anyone in the Games do that. I bet it came as a shock even to the Gamemakers.” (THG, 218-219).

Do we think that Beetee was his mentor? Does this kid know how dangerous it is to mess with the arena? Is it fully a coincidence that the first time we focus on a district 3 tribute is when they use their skills and technology to their advantage, using the arena against the gamemakers?

Is it a coincidence that EVERY games we see district 3 rebelling by using technology that the capitol didn’t expect them to use? (This kid in 74, Beetee in 75, Ampert in 50 and Circ and Teslee with the drones in 10).
