#reading the book made me a sejanus girlie and I'll never recover

[modern1ove]

things in the tbosas book that I wish would've been in the movie (these are only really the ones i haven't seen many people talking about)

tigris letting lucy gray borrow one of her dresses so that she could clean hers before she performed the ballad of lucy gray, also giving her some soap and blush to use

pluribus and the fact that he was one of the few people who knew about the snows financial situation- coriolanus felt like he didn't have to act when he was around him

also that pluribus sent lucy gray guitar strings and didn't want anything in return

tigris baking bread pudding and telling coriolanus to take some to lucy gray, coryo saying it was one of his favourites, and lucy gray getting upset because its her favourite too and reminds her of how her mother used to make it

sejanus taking food to the tributes in the zoo. they did him so dirty in the film, in the book he brought every single tribute a homemade sandwich and a plum

the fact that not all of the tributes were wiped out by the snakes. whilst I sort of prefer how they did it in the film with the games ending after lucy gray sings the old therebefore, it meant that they couldn't include lucy gray using the snakes to her advantage

sejanus going to the lake with coriolanus and the covey and offering to give maude ivory a piggy back on the way there (love him so much guys it's insane)

lucy gray singing deep in the meadow to help maude ivory sleep

sejanus asking about to find out where lucy gray lived for coryo (he didn't deserve him IN THE SLIGHTEST)

coriolanus taking money out of sejanus' storage box the exact same day he died. when i tell you I GASPED.
