Celtic: Hey all! So, here's a new series I did for Silhouettes and am bringing back for this! So, if you want to give messages to the tributes, mentors, friends, family, or Capitolites, whoever you want, you can ask them via my Tumblr (seaweed-hands-from-hell) and I'll post them here on the blog and see whatever chaos and shenanigans ensue! So, our first piece of fanmail is here!
----
From sakura-soldier via Tumblr: Hello! This question's for the 125th tributes: I'm letting you give your
mentors and escorts a taste of their own medicine due to the Quell
twist. If you could ship any of the mentors and/or escorts working in
this Quarter Quell with themselves (as in, mentorXmentor ships,
escortXescort ships, or mentorXescort ships) and/or with yourself,
disregarding age, sexuality, and current relationship statuses, who
would you ship and why (bonus points if we can see the victims'
reactions to your ships)?
.
District 1
Wicke: Oh, um... I don't know, Blessing is pretty self-sufficient and badass already.
Chance: Hm... Cartier and Vesp would totally be good Dads together.
Wicke: Namibia's pretty nice too. I wouldn't wish this fate upon her.
Chance: Hm, maybe she'd go with Cerena from 2 like an opposites kind of thing? I don't know.
Blessing: Wicke's right, I'm a totally self-sufficient badass. If I had to choose though I guess I'd choose someone who doesn't take a lot of nonsense, like Nona.
Cartier: I wouldn't choose anyone, just because I think I might have had something for someone in my Games... But I don't like to think about it.
Namibia: *just chuckles* Ah, I wouldn't put myself in any relationship, though this Quell twist does remind me of those good days when I was younger and plumper than a spring chicken...
District 2
Dania: Just saying, but I'm pretty sure that everyone would ship Nona with themself, because who wouldn't want her, she's fucking gorgeous. That being said, the thought of actually dating my mentor is too weird for me, but I totally ship her and my brother Carlen. Did you see their banter back and forth? Like, did you see it?
Acacia: I ship Vesperus and happiness! He's a chill guy and a good mentor and I like him too much to put him through this.
Dania: As for Cerena, she's so quiet I can't say I know exactly who she'd be compatible with.
Acacia: Yeah, she's really quiet and withdrawn. Maybe she'd do good with someone who would put some energy into her and cheer her up!
Nona: *clears her throat* I don't know what banter you're on about but... Ahem. Yes. I'm a independent woman, I don't need a relationship.
Acacia: But they're so fun! You can make your cute girlfriend hot chocolate!
Nona: *sighs* I'm straight, first off. Secondly I don't even like hot chocolate that much.
Dania&Acacia: *gasp*
Vesperus: *tsks and shakes his head* For shame.
Acacia: Sidenote- I totally ship Pluto with my brother Skor. And guess what bitches, it's #canon!
Cerena: I'm quite happy with my husband, thank you very much.
District 3
Kaelys: Well, the thought of getting revenge for this hell is nice enough on its own. My mentor and I have barely talked, though, all I know is that she's super quiet and withdrawn, so I guess someone to help her out of her shell? Maybe her and Tav would be matched well if they were in the same age range.
Bec: Yeah, Tav and Ellie are such good friends I could see them in a relationship if it were right. But, I mean, have you seen Tav and Marinka? They're so happy together. It's not their fault we're in this mess. Alenena, on the other hand...
Kaelys: Let's ship her with someone she'd hate.
Bec: Oo, yeah!!
Tav: Hey, Alenena is not bad in terms of an escort-
Kaelys: Tartan.
Bec: TARTAN.
Ellie: *sighs*
Alenena: *frowns* It's alright, I understand how they feel. If they just knew how cute the ships I have them in would be...
District 4
Luna: *rolls eyes* Who the hell cares?
Nerio: Um, this one is so obvious. Port and Michael man. Port, you're my mentor and I love you, but man you are so gay for Michael I can feel it. I can physically feel the gay radiating off of you.
Luna: We're supposed to be focusing on strategy, this is the Hunger Games!! We're not supposed to ship our mentors!
Nerio: Lighten up. It's just for fun. If you won't say for Michael, I will. Michael and Port. There, done. See? Fun.
Luna: *rolls eyes*
Port: *red like a tomato* Shush.
Michael: *not looking at any of them* Let's not talk about this.
Nerio: As for Blushina, I don't know. Maybe there's an OT3 happening there. She's so bubbly and enthusiastic, and she's pretty nice too. They all seem to have good chemistry, I could see it.
Blushina: *giggles* Oh, stop it. If only shipping weren't so much fun.
District 5
Joule: Tim. Tim could work well with anyone, really. I could see Tim and Ellie working, or Tim and Tav, Tim is compatible with everyone. He's just so nice. But what he and Trina has is so special, I don't think anyone could replicate that. Seriously, they're like, ultimate relationship goals. I can only hope that someday I'll be out of the Arena and have that kind of relationship with Rilah...
Dyna: I ship Kelly with the world's second-best Hide and Seek player. Because honestly that's the only kind of person she'd trust enough to be in a relationship with. As for which of the mentors is the best at hide and seek, maybe Ellie or Anatoly? I don't know. Maybe one of the escorts would be good at hiding.
Joule: As for Maxim, I mean, he's a dad. So I guess he'd work with the Dad mentor, like Vesperus.
Dyna: Yeah, or a Mom like Blushina or Namibia.
Tim: *shrugs* I love my Trina, what can I say?
Kelly: ...*hiding*
Maxim: *laughs* Thank you, but I'm perfectly happy with my wife and children.
District 6
Desiree: Anatoly needs someone completely unlike her. Maybe someone like Helen Bethel, who's super duper energetic. Or even the District 7 escort, he seems caring.
Riggs: *is being forcibly held back by Gian, a hand over his mouth to keep from shouting to the heavens*
Anatoly: *sighs*
Gian: No comment.
Riggs: *muffled proclamations of love*
Desiree: As for Jovia, she needs someone nice too. Again, that Seven escort would be a good fit, or possibly Helen or someone else really sweet like Tav or Tim or Arthur.
Jovia: *small smile* Thanks, Desiree. I try my best.
District 7
Syca: Celtic says I'm not allowed to answer this question because it's illegal to ship Kendal with anyone else but Gravity fucking Stowers. And I mean, how could you ship anyone else with him? They're too cute.
Kendal: :3
Persei: Helen keeps proposing to Nona, so I suppose that? But then they say it's a joke so I don't know?
Syca: I'll take this one. Helen could definitely soften up someone like Nona, or she would do really well with someone like Anatoly. I have to say though, she and Anakyn spend so much time playing pranks and joking around together they probably already have a following of shippers. So really, Helen could be with anyone and be successful. I'm not sure though, maybe she has a crush on Klaus Stowers?
Helen: Man, I dunno either.
Anakyn: *laughs* I'd say I'm surprised that we have a following of shippers, but it is the Capitol. Anything is possible.
Helen: No kidding.
Kendal: Is this where we make the 36 mention?
Celtic: NO THIS IS A PLACE FOR SHENANIGANS NOT BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL. MOVING ON TO
DISTRICT 8
Ester: I ship Anthony with someone who is not batshit crazy. Because Tartan is batshit crazy. At least Anthony tries not to be batshit crazy. Tim seems rational enough, or even someone like Vale. I think he sleeps around with one of the other Victors, though.
Semper: I ship Tartan with the world's most patient therapist and a healthy outlet to express his emotions. So Vesperus or Tav. Or, just to piss both of them off, him and Bonita.
Ester: No, Bonita needs someone that will kick her ass, like Nona. Because she just loves Careers so much.
Semper: *small laugh* Yeah, true.
Anthony: *small smile* Well yes, I would appreciate someone that is not, quote on quote, "batshit crazy."
Tartan: I ship you and my fist!!!! Come here you little bastard!
Bonita: *screeches* TARTAN STOP THIS INSTANT!
Tartan: You don't tell me what to do, bitch!
Anthony: *sighs and grabs Tartan* I don't get paid enough for this.
Ester: You don't get paid at all.
Anthony: Exactly.
District 9
Jasper: Okay, I'm so glad you asked, because I have considered. Prentice is a cool dude but everyone always sees him as a sex object so he totally needs someone that would not do that. I mean, if he and Vale were the same age I'm pretty sure that would happen. Or Arthur, he'd be good with Arthur. I mean, I'm pretty sure he and Gian are seeing each other too...
June: Agreed.
Jasper: *pauses* Hmph. Yes. As for Prentice, I think he's been pulled through the romantic and sexual wringer enough for now, don't you? So I'll just leave him be.
June: I ship Vale and success and happiness. He's too nice to be doing this every year. That's why District 9 is going to have two Victors in a row after such a dry spell, then Pretty boy and I will take it and Vale can rest. Maybe Anthony or Arthur, or someone calm like Skeeter or Braelynn.
Jasper: Now Constantine-
June: I ship him with a good ass-kicking!
Jasper: *tries not to laugh* Hm. Yeah. I guess.
June: Either that or someone totally sweet and kind, like Braelynn or Jovia. Or Nona, just because she's so out of his league she'd kick his ass for even trying. Anakyn too, maybe he'd make Constantine be nicer.
Jasper: Doubt it. He's awful.
Vale: I second.
Prentice: Third.
June: Fourth!
Constantine: Excuse me!? Ugh, this is exactly why I must be promoted as soon as humanly possible!!
Prentice: Also, don't worry about me Jas, I'm alright. *smiles* It's cool, man, you get used to it.
Vale: *frowns* Well, I have found some success and happiness at least... Thank you though.
District 10
Attila: *shrugs* I dunno. Arthur's married.
Miya: Arthur and Caspar are absolutely too cute together!! As for Roxanne, she could go with someone that doesn't like the Games just like her, maybe... Anatoly, let's say, or someone that would smooth her out a little bit, maybe one of the really nice escorts like Jovia, hm, or one of the District 12 mentors, they both seem really nice...Now, as for Charlemagne, I don't know. Maybe if he and Arthur were the same age? He could also work with the fatherly type like Maxim as well. I think he's married though.
Charlemagne: It's true, I'm married to the most beautiful wife and we have beautiful children together. I'm perfectly content, and I'm perfectly content in knowing that Arthur and Caspar are totally lovesick over my brother-in-law.
Arthur: What?! We're not... Sick... We just... Like him... And he can put Lethia to sleep...
Charlemagne: *gives him a look* You can't form sentences when he's around.
Arthur: *blushes* So maybe we're a little bit lovesick.
Roxanne: This is all so extremely stupid. *rolls eyes* I'm perfectly happy on my own, thank you.
District 11
Ollie: Oh, I love this question! Alright, Chervil needs someone who will take him on adventures and open doors for him!
Daria: Yeah yeah, like Arthur or Port! Or Helen or Vesperus or-
Ollie: Hm, pretty much anyone really! Did you see him blush when the District 1 reapings came on though????
Daria: *giggles* No no, I totally did! I can't believe we're getting the latest on the Victors' relationships!
Ollie: Yeah, I guess... It was just cute how his ears got all red and he tried to hide like a turtle!
Chervil: Shut up already alright?! It's none of your beeswax.
Ollie: Aw, you're embarrassed!!
Chervil: *red* I am not!
Daria:*giggles* Okay, Skeeter next.
Ollie: Oh, right. Skeeter needs someone to give him a touch of light and laughter.
Celtic: You know what, I change my mind, you can't answer this question for Skeeter either. Note to the readers: Skeeter is my first ever OC and has always been and will always be shipped with Rue in my heart.
Both: *pout* Okay. Bonaventure!!
Ollie: Maybe he and Port would work together because they're both big scary dudes.
Daria: Yeah, or a Career like Blessing or Cartier!
Ollie: But he's pretty nice once you get to know him so maybe he'd work with Allegra from 12 or even one of the shy hiders like Ellie or Kelly.
Daria: Oh, yeah, maybe! Ah, this is exciting!
Bonaventure: *small smile* Hm.
District 12
Allegra: *hysterical* No no no no no you can't answer this question!! You can't! Hoke might get mad if you do, he's the only one that understands me alright he'stheonlyoneIwanttobewithandtheonlyonethatwilltakeme-
Braelynn: *guides her to a couch and helps her sit down* *gently* It's alright Allegra, nobody's going to hurt you or be mad at you, alright?
Ashlyn: I ship Allegra with someone who doesn't suck ass at being a good partner.
Allegra: Hoke is fine!! *small sob* He's great! He loves me!
Braelynn: *rubs her back*
Jacques: I ship Braelynn with someone calm and happy that she can love and live with. Maybe someone like Skeeter, maybe an escort like Bonaventure, I'm not sure.
Ashlyn: I ship Ambrose with a big bottle of shit.
Jacques: That's kind of rude. They're not that bad. Maybe someone energetic like Helen or kind like Tim could mellow them out.
Ambrose: *sneers at Ashlyn before regaining their composure* Hmph. If only the twist would have been more violent instead of creating an Arena full of pansies.
Celtic: There we go, the first response to fan mail! Hope you enjoyed the chaos and shenanigans, feel free to send more asks! Which ship do you think is the craziest? Are there any you could actually ship in the real story (remembering age gaps, sexualities, and relationship statuses)? Feel free to send more questions and fan mail! Until next time~
