Capitol person voice: "I mean, if you take tesserae, you know there's more risk of getting Reaped, so you shouldn't come complaining when it happens. Oh, you'd starve if you didn't? Well, it's still a choice you made. Just accept the consequences with some class. You entered into this freely! At least the Careers acknowledge their decision and take responsibility. I shouldn't feel bad for watching the Games when the Tributes are volunteers! And yes, I count tesserae-takers as volunteers. What were they expecting?"

ykw tesserae almost feels like Snow's way of ensuring district 12 will have as few victors as possible, especially when you see the food security in 12 go down more and more over the decades. The more tesserae you take, the more likely you are to be reaped, so the only people who'd take tesserae are people who desperately need it. People who are starving already, AKA people who start the games with very low odds already since eating too much after periods of starvation can make you very sick or actually straight up kill you (refeeding syndrome). This means you can't carbo-load as much or risk screwing yourself over before the games even begin, but these tributes don't have the education to know about that and since they've never had enough food to get refeeding syndrome in the first place they either get lucky or get sick. If they get lucky and didn't eat too much, they'll still need to find more food in the arena to keep up with the physical demands of the games than other tributes who started off with more body fat and thus have more to burn before they start absolutely needing food.

Besides, if you look starved, you're less likely to gain sponsors because you don't look physically capable of winning the games, and while you can still get sponsors via other means it's gonna take a lot more effort. So you can't even get food or supplies from sponsors the way other tributes might, especially in the later games when the careers get most of the sponsors. Katniss was "lucky" enough to have hunting experience and be dropped in an arena that benefitted her, and had the added luck of a stylist who actually tried to make District 12 stand out for once and a district partner who got a storyline going for the Capitol to latch onto, but without those factors her high training score probably would've gotten her killed.

Now, of course it's entirely possible to be reaped without taking any tessarae at all, as shown by Prim and Peeta being reaped for the 74th Hunger Games, but the image of District 12 created by the fact that most of their tributes probably are from the group of kids that took a lot of tesserae also affects them. Even Peeta with his muscles from lugging around flour bags and his charming personality had to fight an uphil battle to get anywhere near the amount of sponsors the Careers get for simply being careers, because he's from 12. Nobody wins in 12. Why would you bother wasting your money on a tribute when their district is known to never win? The only exceptions are that one drunk guy and some other person nobody remembers. As soon as tesserae was introduced, a snowball effect was started that basically ruined D12's chances in most years. Or maybe not and I'm just going crazy again, who knows? It's 50/50 really.

I fully finished my first comic page for LoreLocke and AAAA I'm so excited!!! I dunno what unlocked in my brain this past month but boy am I glad it did, I'm so looking forward to showing you all my baby girl.

Please enjoy this adorable lil preview in celebration :3

ITEM Mosaic depicting a bird MATERIAL Tesserae CULTURE Roman PERIOD 3rd Century A.D DIMENSIONS 400 mm x 440 mm x 40 mm CONDITION Good condition PROVENANCE Ex Swiss private collection, E.O., Geneve, acquired before 1990s Roman mosaics are renowned for their intricate designs and enduring beauty, often depicting various motifs that reflect the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the time. Among these motifs, the depiction of birds holds particular significance in Roman art. Birds were commonly featured in Roman mosaics for their symbolic meanings, which varied depending on the species portrayed. The birds motif in Roman mosaics served both decorative and symbolic purposes, enriching the visual appeal of the artwork while conveying deeper layers of meaning to the viewer. In Roman art, birds were frequently associated with themes of freedom, transcendence, and divine communication. Depictions of birds such as doves, eagles, and peacocks symbolized different aspects of Roman society and belief systems. For example, doves were often associated with peace and love, while eagles were emblematic of power and authority, often representing the Roman state and its military prowess. Peacocks, with their vibrant plumage, were symbols of immortality and resurrection in Roman mythology, associated with deities such as Juno and Hera. The Read the full article
