mmmmmm niche tbosas boba shop au with references to my hometown... write yourself please </3
here are the long awaited deets 🕴
since boba shops don't need 24 employees (can't fit all the tributes, womp womp), their neighbor will be a retro burger joint!!! the tributes from each shop go back and forth, visiting each other on their breaks. howeverrrr the main focus is, of course, the boba shop.
bonus: the mentors as snobby legacy students at the prestigious university that always dwell between the shops for a taste of culture.
what i have so far:
hy's mother, which i'll name gen, has owned the tea house since the early 2000s. it's called "heaven's tea house" (get it?? b/c... in the original book, they're all dead--)
the burger joint is gonna be named "rena's burgers" (after the arena... i'm original, i swear) and it's ran by wovey's chipper old dad, which he inherited from his grandpa
romance is more of a subplot, but it's still there! i'm focused on the ~power of friendship~
i just want them to be goofy ffs...
character tidbits b/c ik that's what we're here for:
lucy gray, mizzen, dill, and teslee as the new hires
hy owns the shop now with brandy as the manager. their dynamic so far reflects that of dina and glenn from superstore
aka he's super apologetic and can't say "no", while brandy CAN say "no" and so much worse if provoked enough
treech as the emo british immigrant barista that the high school girls giggle about (shout out @crazycriter for britreech)
lamina rolls her eyes when they fangirl over him, so much so that they might freeze in the back of her head
mizzen and bobbin have unwarranted beef with hy and he doesn't know why. they don't either. it just became their thing
the mentors are big tippers. like, $50 casually dropped in the little bucket, and the workers all have to pretend they're normal and chill about it so they don't freak out their regulars
juno and urban are regulars and big tippers BUT they're super specific about their orders so they kinda dread them
dennis fling's bereals when he's in the cafe include silly little pics with the employees (shout out to @zippiedippievippie for this idea hehe)
i've planned a meltdown for sol. don't ask. she's a woman in stem and that's a canon event

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).

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--

I brought some ancient Greek philosophers back from the dead cuz I wanted to start a prank channel but they started asking me stuff about the modern world and now they won't quit making fun of me cuz my city doesn't have any gates. Zeno of Syracuse called me a "no-gate-having ass barbarian idiot." He already knew English.
