this crazy white boy
"our beautiful little daughter," he says. while he drags her lifeless, charred body behind him. as he grips onto her arm with only one hand. he has the strength to carry her. he doesn't. her wheezing breaths. her wide, unseeing eyes. the haphazard way in which he drops her to the ground so that he can kneel and clutch at Lestat's legs. hmm. her name. what's her name, Louis? "it's never been about me!" yes. it's never been about her, indeed.
Life imitates art.
of course Gale and Lucy Gray (among others) are adultified; of course Glimmer and Finnick (among others) are sexualized and commodified; of course Katniss doesn’t have the right words for people’s cognitive or physical disabilities; of course Haymitch’s alcoholism is played for laughs; of course Johanna doesn’t have palatable trauma responses; of course Peeta verbally abuses Katniss and is inappropriate to Annie when he’s hijacked; of course Wyatt participates in a system that benefits from tragedy; of course Sejanus and Lenore Dove are impulsive, even naive, in their protest against oppression; of course Coriolanus comes to believe power is the ultimate way to self-actualize; of course Seam and town kids perpetuate class stereotypes of each other; of course the Careers are painted as enemies; of course people don’t handle their grief neatly; of course District Thirteen dehumanizes people in their military industrial complex; of course there are well-meaning Capitol folk; of course the adults fail the children. every. single. time; of course no character is pure, and no character is purely evil either: and that’s not Suzanne Collins: that’s Panem; the teenagers brutally slaughtering each other cannot be the only thing we are okay with being portrayed in this series
something about haymitch going to the capitol with two kids and coming back with two caskets for 23 years
haymitch was 16 when he started mentoring district 12 tributes which means at the beginning majority of them were kids he probably went to school with
Something that’s so important to me not only in sotr but all of thg is just the importance of art. How songs and poetry carry decades of fighting for freedom despite time’s erasure.
The artists behind them may have faded a hundred years ago, what they left behind still remains and inspire people they will never meet.
Art not only creates a bond through time but it conveys the voices of thousands of silenced that carried them to the present. It’s the only way of expression left for the oppressed, the only way to leave a mark.
The pin of Maysilee. The clothes of Cinna. The paintings of Peeta. The music of the Covey.
And it’s why the capitol wants to repress it so much. Because creating is power. And if the songs Lucy Gray wrote may go unnoticed for many, they will not be forgotten and they will come back stronger. Art is memory. Art is rebellion. Art is political. Art is freedom
i love you like all-fire
Hide and seek is over!
I really wanted to draw Lou Lou and Maysilee's interview dresses. Effie specifies that the dresses are from the war era, and in the ABOSAS movie, the fashion is very 30s/40s inspired, so I went for similar silhouettes for the dresses.
Honestly, the "Haymitch got Peeta DNA tested after being hijacked" allegations are getting out of hand, you're missing the point!!!
Of course seeing Peeta that way made him remember of a little girl he knew long ago and got him worried, but he was never thinking of Louella, he didn't see Peeta and thought "oh,yeah, this is a copy". No, he saw Peeta and remembered a girl whose name he never knew, a girl who liked singing and who liked animals and probably loved a million of other beautiful things, a girl who saw the capital for what they really were and who died without remembering who she was, who was robbed of a lifetime of small meaningful moments she deserved because the Capital wanted to punish someone who loved them.
Haymitch was scared Peeta would have Lou Lou's destiny, not Louella's.
“Well, there’s no proof that will happen. You can’t count on things happening tomorrow just because they happened in the past. It’s faulty logic.”
How are we holding up? I’m still crying about Lenore Dove and the gumdrops
