#(the interviews the costumes the tribute parades the sexualization of pretty district one women)

[catoscloves]

crazy how back when book!tbosas first came out everyone was discussing and analyzing each character, especially l.g & sejanus, and calling out snow for the selfish narcissist he was... then the movie comes out and everyone's like "oh wait young snow is hot" and suddenly the fact that he's a creepy future fascist that used other people to achieve his own goals goes out the window and the fandom becomes obsessed with young!snow

#also to be v clear I'm not trying to judge anyone I'm truly not #like i think Tom blyth is hot too okay especially when they gave him an Eminem haircut #yeah he is fine as hell I don't disagree with that #but like it really says something about how easily priorities and allegiance and favoritism can shift #Once something is in a prettier and visually appealing package #also like that's so relevant to the theme of the games too #the games are literally the ugliest version of humanity #and snow himself was like 'yeah no one would watch that willingly and enjoy it its extremely depressing' #but when you take something that vile and ghastly and horrific and dress it up #in this pretty package of entertainment and fun and spectacle #(the interviews the costumes the tribute parades the sexualization of pretty district one women) #then suddenly it becomes a thing of laughter and entertainment for the people that aren't harmed by what's happening #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes
