Ha now I'm thinking about all the Avengers Tower fanfic but I can totally see it like that. Asia has a lot of high-rise buildings with gardens (my sister lives in Taiwan and has a rooftop garden!) so I totally see that.
The culture in D3 may not be big on emotional expressiveness, but if you can rationalize an emotional need as an operational efficiency, it’s perfectly acceptable.
I love this, by the way. Loooooove.
....... huh I hadn't considered the gender disparity stuff but I like that! And I'm all for more ladies in the victor circles, seriously. and lololol Beetee's harem
Yeeeeeah uh I don't see D3's victors being all that celebrated either -- I don't see ANY victors being real heroes outside the Career districts, honestly, but in D3 where they prize intellectualism and all that over most things, I can definitely see how it would come off even worse. Maybe it's just that I like reading fic where the victors/mentors stick together because only they understand each other, but I can't imagine a lot of them have a good time when they go home. Many many many people would rather have a martyr than a victor I think, even if they don't realize it until the victor comes home and suddenly their friend/brother/cousin/girlfriend has blood all over their hands.
