I laughed so hard at D6's outfits, especially given that they're morphlings who just run around going wheeeeeeeeeee hiiiiiii preeeeeeeeetty and they're standing there all badass. XD
LOL! Precisely. Everything about D6 is just completely not what I was expecting. I'm thinking waste-oids in bright colors who get distracted by the light fixtures or Caesar's glowing teeth; they give us Neo and Trinity in a pissy mood. Huh?
NO YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS TORTURED BY THE VICTOR SHOT
Glad I'm not alone in my misery. I did finally find that high-res still at Mockingjay.net (yes, I'm slow) and had more luck with that than I had with pausing the trailer. Taking a closer look at the outfits, I'm knocked over by how universally ugly they are. D1=disco ball gone wrong. D5+9= brown sacks. I'm not going to look at Woof and Wiress too long; it's like staring into the sun. IMO, only Finnick and Beetee got relatively flattering styles.
All of the kids in The Hunger Games were wearing reasonably attractive formal wear. I'm not sure what's going on here, except that perhaps this is an intentional choice on the part of the costume designers to highlight the humiliation of trying to mash the aging victors into the tribute role.
I managed to zoom in and laughed myself to death at Brutus wearing the same belly shirt as Enobaria. Like. Well done gender parity I guess?
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY. Belly shirts. Shimmery belly shirts. I'm thinking Brutus's headspace is: "I volunteered for this. Twice. Courage and sacrifice. Bringing pride to my district. Then you do this to me. Forget you people, I'm allying with the Mockingjay."
since the book mentions all her servants and I was like SERVANTS??!
I've read CF three times and somehow missed this. Woah, my bad. Servants, in D12, though? Well, if SC says so, I guess so, but... Well, that does explain why the houses are so McMansion-y.
(omg I didn't know you had D3 headcanon GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEEEEE)
Hee! OK, I'll jot a few notes down. But, it's rough. I haven't hashed it out with anyone (none of my friends are into THG in a fannish way), so it's just random ideas that are definitely subject to revision and refinement.
(also hi hi I added you to general filters but if you want in on the Avenger Games AU filter lemme know)
