#I say this as an avid Gale hater

[chronicsyd]

So I saw The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes over the weekend and there’s been a few oddball things I’ve seen on social media

Now the first being all the people simping over young Snow… Im mainly chalking that up to Tom Blyth being in the role than anything else and the fact that the movie doesn’t really show Snow’s inner monologue that the book does cause when you’ve read the book then you Know what kinda sociopath Snow really is.

Second, the amount of Snowxreader fics I’ve seen… y’all missed the point SO badly

Third ties into the last two with people being avid Gale haters since the first trilogy and then being a Snow apologist. Like How?! (At least with Gale you feel some sort of empathy with him in the beginning that dissipates as the books go on with the decisions that he makes and the way he treats others but because TBOSAS is a prequel that we got later we know what person Snow becomes so you can’t feel anything but destain for the guy)

Fourth, the “Lucy Gray is actually President Coin” theories… what? What in Lucy Gray’s character in the book Or film would lead you to that conclusion? I understand that you want some semblance of closure to Lucy Gray’s character because we don’t get one because the story is told through Snow’s perspective but to think that a girl who wants to be free of Snow would turn around and end up as “Snow in a different font” to the point to where Katniss kills her instead of Snow is just Beyond me

And this is just a personal thing for me but I don’t understand the people getting upset that the Ballad of songbirds and snakes had Singing in it. Common sense ain’t so common I guess…
