#murder of caesar

[toffee32]

Ever since I finished my Vulpes Inculta / Courier Six fancomic I wanted to draw a short epilogue because I left the most important moment of their relationship not drawn, and to let Vulpes explain his complicated feelings towards Mila, whom he's learning to please and love. ♡

so I'm making a powerpoint presentation about Re-Animator (and Bride of Re-Animator) (don't ask) and even though I'm *certain* that someone has pointed this out here on the gay trans herbert west webbed site, here's one of the images for my incredibly normal presentation.

I was at a party with my middle school bullies and unbeknownst to me they conspired to kill me at said party and stabbed me to death, Julius Caesar-style.

hello it's the vulpes anon again . thank you for your condolences i appreciate it. however i think im going insane. the vulpes brainrot has been creeping on me and i fear i am powerless to stop it. which is very unfortunate because i still hate him and i think he's the worst and i kill him in every playthrough an d i absolutely agree that he's a cringefail little guy but that drawing. oooghhhgjh. it changed my brain chemistry. this is all your fault and i hate you (im fully kidding i love you and your art) the ao3 suggestion is a good idea but that would only fuel the rot so i think my best bet would be to block him everywhere and pray 2 every god ever that i don't fall into vulpes inculta fallout new vegas hell because that would be cringe of me

that's a good idea feel better soon anon 🙏 he is the worst here he is being mean to eli hope it can help your rehabilitation from vulpes brainrot

this is a kind of morbid question i guess, but have you thought about the details of machete's assassination? who did it, were they paid off by someone else, how did they kill him, so forth? i've mostly been imagining a julius caesar type situation but im curious if that part of the story took shape in your mind too

I monologued about it a bit in the tags of this post not too long ago (fair warning, it's morbid)

What Are your thoughts on cinna

***ALL OF THIS ANSWER IS PREDICATED ON BOOK 1. IF THIS IS ADDRESSED IN LATER BOOKS I WOULD BE THRILLED.***

cinna's job, his literal livelihood as presented in these novels, is packaging and selling children up to a live audience for eventual slaughter. it is horrifying. he is complicit, perhaps the most complicit a person could be, in all the exploitation that occurs. this at bare minimum should make him misguided, at worst horrifically sinister. he is not presented as either.

as of right now, he is being presented as a complete good guy. katniss is pleased and flattered by the nice clothes he dresses her in, his "girl on fire" image is treated as a gift because it gives her an edge, and his attempts to provide emotional comfort seem to be very genuine. katniss is not made uncomfortable by his efforts to package her into a palatable concept - she is glad that he is nice to her.

in a subtler work, I would take this to mean that katniss has been taken in by his outward image and is blind to the ways that he is using her to further his career. but the hunger games is incredibly unsubtle when katniss' viewpoint is meant to be unreliable, and the rest of the time, her viewpoint is always confirmed to be 100% factual even in situations where that makes no sense. it is not a work that hides it when a character is meant to be sinister. which is fine, because this is a story for middle schoolers. but it ruins a lot of the story's alleged societal critique if cinna is never treated as even remotely culpable for his role in the games. I don't have much faith in the story's ability to reckon with that, considering how many other interesting moral dilemmas the book tends to gloss over.
