panem's possible asian diaspora: how being asian might add nuance to district 4 & 7 characters.
i'm not trying to discredit the actors that portrayed these characters, nor am I saying that these experiences are universal to asians everywhere. as an asian-american thg fan, it's just interesting to see how my experiences (again, not universal) could apply to some characters and explain their actions. they're not canonically asian, you can imagine them as you want. this is just for funsies! it started off as a fun little, "lol what if finnick was filipino?" then spiraled out of control.
topics discussed:
seniority and the seablings
filial piety and duty to community in thg
treech, odesta, and the model minority myth
asian f*tishization and finnick odair
cw: racism, s*xualization, and death are mentioned but not entirely fleshed out and in detail.
Let’s start off with geography!
In the official map of Panem, we see that districts Four and Seven encompass both California and Washington, respectively — two states with some of the highest populations of Asian-Americans in the modern-day west coast. It’s not far-fetched to believe that there are some Asian influences there just as there are hints of Katniss’ indigenous roots in the books (a headcanon that inspired this one).
SENIORITY AND THE SEABLINGS
FILIAL PIETY & DUTY TO COMMUNITY IN THG
TREECH, ODESTA, AND THE MODEL MINORITY MYTH
ASIAN F*TISHIZATION AND FINNICK ODAIR
or... I'm just projecting!!! idk 😁
sorry for the censoring. I tried posting this on tiktok, and they took it down, so now I'm a little paranoid!
AGAIN (sorry, I just hate causing too much debate) I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE ASIAN. I just think asian characters in thg would be neat--

<< Jimmy, my beloved brother,
For hundreds of years I protected your egg, waiting patiently for you to emerge.
The day you hatched, I vowed that I would always protect you...
...but since the salmon invaded our ocean, you just haven't been the same.
I am venturing onto the land to discover the source of the salmon so we can end this blight.
Oceans blessings always,
Lizzie. >>

Lizzie: I'm not mean. Name one mean thing I’ve ever done.
Jimmy: When we were younger, you convinced me eggs weren't real.
Lizzie: They're not.
Jimmy: Haha, very funny.
Lizzie: I'm serious. Didn't you hear?
Jimmy: No... what happened?
Lizzie: ...Why would you fall for this again-

Day 1260: Jimmy and Lizzie finish the first quilt made entirely from scratch. Between the rancher's constructions and the hospital's trading, the two managed to make a well-stocked craft room at the ranch.
It only stays clean thanks to Pearl.
