Hi, I just wanted to say that it has been 10 years since THGYear1

TEN. YEARS.

Irrevocably is a twilight word. I'm sorry but if you're writing something and you use that word, I'm immidiately gonna think twilight

I really hope they cast an Asian actor to play Sejanus.

when Snow got to D12 in TBOSAS, I was eager for Collins to name drop the last names of some of our beloved main characters. but I'm actually kind of glad that she didn't. the only last names we recognize in Ballad are those of Snow's other rich classmates in the Academy. Heavensbee, Cardew, Crane - these names we see are still present in the Games industry by Katniss' time, showing how privilege tends stay in the family and that notable rebels like Plutarch and Fulvia came from money/power like Snow. whereas the Everdeens, Mellarks, Abernathys, and Hawthornes are somewhere among the women with worn dresses and skinny children, and the miners drinking in the Hob, and the merchants that Snow interacts with but doesn't bother to name - because ultimately, they're nobodies. they don't need to have their ancestors mentioned in Snow's story to be important in Katniss'. Collins' name-dropping in TBOSAS is intentional in giving context to her other Capitol characters, and I think her withholding it for her D12 characters was intentional too.

i am once again thinking about how suzanne collins went back to her 10 year old series to publish a prequel to say “just in case it wasn’t clear. you are the capitol. you are not from district 12, you are not the uprising. you are sitting in your house, enjoying a level of wealth unimaginable to billions, and you are watching the hunger games for your entertainment. you are reveling in it, all its violence and romance, and you got caught up in it and its characters. but this story is about you. i am stripping away the entertainment and the characters and the distraction because this story is about your horror and and complete and total lack of empathy and perspective. that is what it has always been about. look at it.” and some people still don’t get it. anyway very iconic of her

So, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, huh…

I really enjoyed the book. I went into it with an idea of what I wanted it to be, and I got it, which means I ended up incredibly and utterly angry. The Sejanus plotline still haunts me, and it’s one of the many, many reasons that we should all break Snow’s bones. The way he got over it so quickly when he saw he could benefit from what he did was so disgusting, and oh my god that ending I am SEETHING.

So yeah. I had to go for some angst, but I also wanted to hold Snow responsible for his actions. Never forget it was your hand that tied that noose, sir.

(If you enjoy it, reblogs are very much appreciated!)

Snow when Katniss and Peeta showed up in the Capitol as practically reincarnations of Lucy Gray and Sejanus

If the people who were supposed to protect you played so fast and loose with your life . . . then how did you survive? Not by trusting them, that was for sure. And if you couldn’t trust them, who could you trust? All bets were off.
