‘You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same.’

Theyyyy more art of them again. I think about how tragic they are almost ever hour. 

[multifandomsbabe]

nothing truly breaks my heart like tigris at the end of tbosas. the way she looked at coriolanus, trying to find a glimpse , just a glance of the little boy she raised. the boy that she tried so hard to pull into the light. the boy she fought tooth and nail for. the boy she swore could be good.only to realize that he is gone . not only that but he turned into the thing she feared the most for him.his father

she looked at crassus’ coriolanus snow trying to find her coryo

Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you.

Another rant.

In a sense I do believe that Snow did love Lucy Gray, but I saw this tiktok talk about how it isn't a love story, it's a tragedy. I have to agree, because Snow was given so many chances to choose the good path, he had people that genuinely believe in him. Tigris, Lucy Gray and Sejanus but Snow is so emotionally stunted and not willing to progress. (At least from my view that's what I concluded)

So many times throughout the book I caught myself smiling or laughing at something he said. And I literally would be like "wtf" but Suzanne Collins is such a genius writer like that, and like a broken clock I'll repeat, she wrote this book so well that, I was genuinely forgetting that this young man will become a man I will hate and wish death upon.

Reading the original trilogy as a pre-teen I never truly understood the gravity of Snow's evil and watching the movies again recently with context from the book, made so many little actions and lines hold more weight.

I hate over-analysing books because of English in school, but books like this remind me why I love to read and get lost in worlds that are are different but the same.

I'm rambling but this book and this whole franchise has been on my mind for a while and I need a creative outlet.

TBOSBAS SPOILERS AGAIN: CORYO AND CORIOLANUS ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Coryo is the person he was before the death of sejanus and the trickery of lucy gray, coryo is who lucy fell in love with, coryo is sejanus’ brother, coryo is who snow was deep deep down even through his inner monologue. coryo was his child self, the self that survived the war, the self that tigris grew up with and loved so closely and so dearly. coryo is the boy who cried after sejanus died and the boy who begged the game maker to take lucy out of the arena. coryo is the boy who payed his way into district 12 just to see lucy gray again.

coriolanus is his father. coriolanus is the inner monologue, coriolanus is the boy who turned in sejanus’ speach to the game maker. coriolanus is the boy who didn’t trust lucy gray. coriolanus is the boy who decided to go to district 2. coriolanus is the boy who betrayed tigris, killed finnick, and thousands of other people out of the wrath he had for lucy gray.

i believe if CORYO would’ve waited and trusted lucy, she would’ve returned. it was a trick, it was a ruse to see if he trusted her, if he would’ve waited, and not have gone after her, she would’ve come back, they would’ve run away, and the hunger games wouldn’t have existed. because the only reason people kept watching is because coriolanus made them “better” for the people, started selling the people.

ANOTHER THEORY

bare with me on this one.

one of the first things lucy gray said with snow around was that her family was all for color “especially me”

before, the capital was FULL of what snow where’s now. suits, uniforms, very straight forward sophisticated people. but, TIGRIS with her new found hatred for snow, made the entirety of “trending” fashion full of color, full of extraordinary , beautiful color. when tigris says “until snow thought i wasn’t beautiful anymore” she was talking about him forcing her to change all of her looks, plastic surgery, outfits. because he knew she did it out of spite. she did it to remind him everyday of the impact lucy gray had on EVERYONE despite his attempt to make them immediately forget her. forget her songs, forget her face, her color, her everything so that she would never get justice. but tigris gave her justice, tigris made sure she lived on through the fashion and the color.

She survived him.

Snow has two hands

[doylldonmagar]

Just finished The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. What blows me away is how Coryo has all the influences for him to become worse and to become better.

Here's what I mean, he's a mentor, so he has a close view of the games, which could make him more sympathetic with the districts or more cruel to them.

He writes the papers for Dr Gaul and talks with her a lot, their interactions could have made him more pro or more anti Capitol.

Dean Highbottom resents the Snows, which makes coryo anti-whatever-highbottom-believes, but hearing about the origin of the games could have changed his mind.

Sejanus, Tigris, and Lucy are all anti-capitol and they are the greatest influences in his personal life.

Spending time in D12 could have made him sympathize with the people that are the same as Capitol people, but instead he becomes more pro-capitol.

But as the first chapter makes very clear, he's out for personal success. It foreshadows everything. At the beginning he has some sympathy for the tributes but sees them as pawns for his own success. At any point, he had the catalysts in place for him to become anti-capitol. The conversations and family and friends. He could have been.
