I wrote a Teenage Bounty Hunters fic (finally!) It’s a continuation to fix the cliffhanger Netflix left us with that ripped my heart out.

Rated T and will be 7.6K of words total. First chapter is up and I’ve divided it into three chapters. They’re all drafted so I’ll get the rest up over the coming two weeks.

The moment Tigris tells Snow he looks like his father, my heart broke.

That's her Prim.

That's the child she took care of while being a child herself, stuck with an adult who couldn't care for them all that well. She tried so hard and sacrificed so much for the boy that despite all her love still turns into a monster.

Katniss's Prim dies, but Tigris' Prim destroys every part of the boy she raised, to the point she wants him dead and has nothing in her heart for him except absolute loathing.

people often use snow’s experiences with lucy gray as an explanation for how he engages with katniss, but i think that the true story of his downfall lies not in how lucy gray and katniss are similar, but rather in how they are different.

snow knew that it was never him that made the games what they are. it was lucy gray, with her scrappy, passionate artistry, that put on the show that kept people watching. more importantly, it was lucy gray that put on the show that kept HIM watching. all he ever did was give her the stage.

ergo, snow recognizes that the person with the power to usurp him is his natural counterpart, someone like lucy gray, who possessed both the charisma and humanity that he sorely lacks. however, in his mind, those traits are not real; they’re performed in order to obtain power. how could he know better, when he’s never experienced them himself, and the only person he ever truly believed possessed them betrayed him?

so snow keeps his eye out for performers, people with gravitas who could capture the heart of the nation, and squashes their spark as soon as he can. people like haymitch. people like finnick.

and that’s where snow goes wrong. he doesn’t see katniss’ similarities to lucy gray from the start, because while they both demonstrate astonishing, intriguing bravery at their reapings, their actions and motivations are completely different. lucy gray is motivated to perform by anger for herself, and katniss is motivated to sacrifice herself by fear for her sister.

but then katniss starts to put on a show for the audience, kissing peeta and being willing to die with the berries at the end of the 74th games. snow starts to see an entirely different side of katniss that resembles lucy gray to a concerning degree. he sees how, with peeta at her side, she could beguile the nation the same way lucy gray had. and, even worse, she was using the poor, helpless boy who had the misfortune of falling in love with her to survive. the moment katniss started performing, he finally sees lucy gray within her. but it’s already too late.

by catching fire, katniss is the spark fanning the flames of the resistance, but snow fails to understand why. as far as he’s concerned, katniss’ star power comes from her connection to peeta. he tries to weaponize their “love” for his own gain, but it doesn’t work, not because people don’t believe that she loves peeta, but because, for the first time, a victor offers her winnings to the family of a fallen tribute.

snow is caught in a catch 22 of seneca crane’s making—if he kills katniss, she becomes a martyr. but if he lets her live, she’ll be a revolutionary icon. either way, she’s the spark. so he has no choice but to allow the spark to flicker, just for a little while. enter the 75th games. snow knows he needs katniss to die a tragic death in the games. more specifically, he needs it to be a brutal death at the hands of a tribute, not the gamemakers, because he understands that as long as the districts see the capital as the one who ended the life of katniss everdeen, she’ll still be a martyr.

but snow still doesn’t get it. in the quarter quell, the prey does not become predator. katniss’ allies protect her, ensuring she survives until district 13 rescues her. why would they protect this girl, assuming such a steep personal risk? why would they put everything on the line for a revolution they personally stand to benefit little from? he doesn’t know. but he does know that lucy gray katniss is at the center of it all, so he tries to eliminate what makes her look best: peeta.

and that is snow’s fatal mistake. what he, coin, and everyone but haymitch fail to understand is that it was never peeta that made katniss look good—it was katniss, who befriended and put faith in rue. katniss, who recruited mags, wiress, and beetee as allies. she is the source of revolutionary inspiration. it isn’t her charisma or even her compassion, and it certainly isn’t how well she performed those virtues.

katniss becomes the mockingjay because of her solidarity.

lucy gray was charismatic, like peeta, and compassionate, like both peeta and katniss, but she did not demonstrate solidarity. she was never truly “district” in the way katniss is. she showed kindness to jessup, not because he was from 12, but because he showed kindness to her. lucy gray left behind everything and everyone she loved when she left coriolanus, because she was first and foremost a survivor.

katniss was a survivor her whole life, but she survives exclusively to ensure the people she loves are protected. she always does what she can for people more vulnerable than herself. lucy gray couldn’t have sparked a revolution on her own because she lacked the solidarity that makes a hope for a better future authentic to others. katniss is the human manifestation of solidarity, and to a people divided by a common enemy, that’s the most inspiring thing a person can be.

only in the end, when katniss shoots coin, does snow realize none of it was a performance. choking on the blood of his countless adversaries, snow’s final moments are consumed by what he got wrong. what made lucy gray and katniss different ends his reign, but ironically, the final nail in his coffin is an act that both lucy gray and katniss share in their last moments with snow. they both prove, unequivocally, that he is not the center of their worlds like they are his. lucy gray put her own survival before her love for him, and katniss puts the future of her nation before her hate for him. in the end, he simply doesn’t matter. and that’s greater justice than could have ever have been achieved if katniss had fired her arrow into his heart.

the greatest enemy to coriolanus snow could only be the person who reignited the embers of a dying revolutionary fire, who demonstrated to a broken people that while one spark alone might not be enough, thousands of sparks uniting in solidarity is an unbeatable force.

and really, he should have known better. after all, fire melts snow.

I think one of my favorite things about Bly Manor is how, when you watch it again and again, you get to see all the ways Jamie loves Dani. She includes all the little teases about Dani being American, how bad she was at making tea, her annoying fake accent, her silly way of making awful, awful jokes to break tension, how clingy she was, and how foolish sometimes. Jamie could have left all that out, she could have let those details fall away and forgotten them after all that time in the face of Dani's Great Sacrifice, but she didn't. She includes them, because she remembers them, because she remembers Dani exactly as she was, because she loves Dani exactly as she was. She doesn't love an idea or a value or a concept or a belief. She loves Dani, in everything she was. Bly Manor is one of the greatest love stories ever told and I hope people keep on hearing and listening to it.

Annie on my Mind - fancast

First off, Willow Shields as Liza Winthrop. Idk, Willow has always given me that introspective, cool-headed vibe that Liza has. It also doesn’t hurt that, while Liza is a lesbian, Willow is bisexual herself. She hasn’t been in much lately, BUT damn was she amazing as Primrose and in When Time Got Louder! Willow is an unmatched talent that isn’t given enough roles to show that off.

Fina Strazza as Annie Kenyon. Holy shit, when I tell you that Fina is a powerhouse of talent that is just begging to be cracked open on the silver screen. She can sing, act and kick some ass (as her portrayal of KJ Brandman has shown us). If she isn’t Annie Kenyon, then idk who else could portray such a sentimental, caring character other than this girl right here.

Jodie Foster as Ms. Stevenson. Need I say more?

Embeth Davidtz as Ms. Widmer. She played Miss Honey, okay? I always pictured Ms. Widmer as a sweet, soft-spoken gay version of Miss Honey, so sue me!

Viola Davis as Mrs. Poindexter. Viola has that “I command you” kind of aura. She can wither you with a glare, soften you with a simple “baby”, make you cry with a single tear. She would be perfect as the headmistress of Foster academy!

Bonus one!

Walker Scobell as Chad Winthrop. This one may be just cause it popped into my head last minute, but this kid’s comedic timing and his amazing, heartfelt performance in The Adam Project really makes me see him as little Chad. We all know he’s busy being the leading dude in Percy Jackson, but he’d be great for this.

If I get more ideas for more characters I’ll post them, for now this is all I’ve got lol
