The ballad of songbirds and snakes- a tragedy

(I have only started to read the book and will not address it here. I will only be talking about the movie. I will not take Coriolanus‘s inner monologue into account here.)

The hunger games/The ballad of songbirds and snakes is almost the most tragic of the movies to me.

There is something so … heartbreaking and tragic about seeing little Coryo become the Snow we new from the other movies.

It‘s like we are in Tigris shoes.

We watch a little boy grow up. We watch a little boy who had to witness his neighbour eating his maid‘s leg during a war in order to not starve to death.

We see a little boy who is orphaned due to the war.

We watch a little boy grow up.

Grow up to be a monster.

Another thing that is so incredibly tragic is that you know the ending to his story.

You know what he will eventually become.

And still, i think, many of us viewers found ourselves rooting for him at some point.

I was rooting for him. For him and Lucy Gray.

Against all odds i wanted him to find his own happy ending.

The ending was inevitable.

And still i wanted him to choose a different path.

I still believed in his humanity. In his goodness.

As Lucy Grey says: „There is a natural goodness built into us all.“

Almost until the very end of the movie i thought he might be able to choose a different path.

When i watched this movie i saw something unbelievably tragic.

I witnessed how trauma and a destructive society can kill a soul.

I saw a soul decay before my eyes.

I witnessed the moral decay of a human being.

I saw how all the goodness and kindness that was still left in him was erased for good.

How a soul chose to erase itself.

We see a little boy who has to fight to survive.

We see a teenager who fights the evil inside him.

Who tries to not succumb to it.

We see a boy who loses the fight within himself.

And of course all of it is tragic. The games are tragic. Katnis story is tragic. All of it is.

But the most tragic thing for me to witness was to see the goodness and humanity that is built into us all be reduced to nothing but ash.

To witness the death of a soul.

„There is a natural goodness built into us all.

You can either cross that line into evil, or not.

It is our life‘s work to stay on the right side of that line.“ - Lucy Gray Baird

Biblically accurate Blurr~

Blurr's Spotlight was actually the very first Transformers comic I ever read. I remember looking at the first pages and being like, holy shit, dude why are you so ugly?? Ahahjcmgmg

They tried to skip class.

At least they left something memorable

I’m being forced to watch soul eater against my will (not really, I love my gf (also it’s really good so far so I don’t care))

[angelofdumpsterfires]

so my initial theory regarding how they’d handle the hell arc in tlovm was that they’d combine it with the quest for the dawnmartyr’s plate (bc they both involved a contract to kill a pit fiend and also hotis isn’t a thing in the show)

but upon the trailer i don’t think that’s the reason they go to hell

note the whitestoney design on the casket here, this is percy’s casket

NOTICE THE DISTINCT LACK OF PERCY IN ANY OF THE SHOTS SET IN HELL (especially since percy was such a lead in that arc with his deal with ipkesh and all)

I THINK THEY’RE ON A MISSION TO RESCUE PERCY’S SOUL FROM THE FLAMES OF HELL POST GLINTSHORE

(and the dawnmartyr’s plate is just a bonus here)

In the soul eater submas au Kid probably adores the twins, I mean aside from color at look how symmetrical they are!!!

on the contrary I think their differing colors and expressions would be enough to make kid pop a blood vessel sksks
