my brain is thinking the thonks
BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES SPOILERS AHEAD
The entire movie, characters are calling Lucy Grey "songbird". All the time. "Keep an eye on your little songbird" "Catch that songbird" etc etc, but Lucy Grey's weapon of choice is snakes.
Snow's weapon of choice is manipulation or, literally against Sejanus, word of mouth. He uses the jabberjays/mockingjays the way the Capitol built them, to spy on their enemies. He is Capitol through and through. He uses the drones to save Lucy Grey, he cheats with the rat poison and lies to the Gamemaker's face about why he's there when he gives the snakes Lucy Grey's smell. Bar literally singing he is the songbird.
Lucy Grey is the snake. The last one expected to survive. The singer, the Corey, the smartest one in the arena and the one who puts it all together when Snow lies to her face about who he has killed. She knows she's next, she knows he killed Sejanus, not literally but he was responsible. She puts two and two together and slithers away into the bushes and trees of District 12.
The obvious bit is that Snow is the snake for lying and cheating, in the colloquial meaning of someone being a snake, and Lucy Grey is the songbird because of her singing the songs of the revolution and rebellion.
But they're both deeper than that. They're both and songbird and both the snake.
Anyway, 10/10 movie, minimal notes but those notes were more wishes than much else

parce qu'on s'est crié des mots qui ont sali tous nos plus beaux dessins, on a hurlé des chaudières d'encre noire sur le bonheur
j'expose ma tête, mes yeux, mon cœur et mes mains
si tu reviens
something quiet, gentle, and romantic for today. I’ve been assured it’s suggestive enough for @goodomensafterdark ‘s smut war, so enjoy this soft interlude with suggestive tummy ❤️

The fact that the Boston transit system has been a garbage fire for so long that our mascot is a sad little man who is literally stranded on the train until the end of time due to a fare increase. Charlie's desiccated corpse has been riding this train since the 1940s and everyone just sort of rolls with it it this point
