Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Tumblr media
Where they strung up a man, they say, who murdered three
Tumblr media
Strange things did happen here,
Tumblr media
No stranger would it be
Tumblr media
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

This is how I imagined them to look like when I first read the book. And OMG! The movie's here! Everything is almost the same of how I pictured it.
Lucy Gray - The dress is more of a 1930s inspired look because I imagined Snow's time to be almost the same equivalent era. And it's a bit of an inspiration from Katniss' reaping dress. The rainbow polka dots is supposed to be snake like patterns and there's rainbow ruffles on the edge of the dress.
Coriolanus Snow - His outfit was originally supposed to be dark blue, but it felt like red fits him more. I have to admit, when I got to draw Snow, I accidentally saw a spoiler/behind the scene picture of their uniform for the movie. So I guess that also affected my color choice haha. Luckily, the pic was super blurry. And I instead based of the details from his clothes in the Hunger Games trilogy.

I just love imagining President Snow hearing Katniss sing The Hanging Tree after Plutarch changed the words from “necklace of rope” to “necklace of hope” and him just being like
“….well those aren’t even the words so”

« Maybe his lover was already sentenced to death and he was trying to make it easier. To let her know he’d be waiting. Or maybe he thought the place he was leaving her was really worse than death. Didn’t I want to kill Peeta with that syringe to save him from the Capitol? Was that really my only option? Probably not, but I couldn’t think of another at the time. »
katniss comparing the lyrics of the hanging tree to the situation with peeta is crazy because when you think about it, it does fit them.

Curious… but what do you guys think Snow loves.!?
He has the quote in both the prequel and the original films “It’s the things we love the most that destroy us.”
When he’s talking to Katniss, it’s about her love for Peeta and her district. That’s what forced her into the games in the first place. Potentially for Sejanus it was his people. The idea of saving them was eventually what took him down. Lucy Gray just wanted to be s free spirit with her music, and she ended up within the performance of a lifetime— even though it was one about murder— AND she basically turned into the song Lucy Gray that she was named after. They all have the irony attached to them.
But what about Snow.!? Was his love power.!? Control.!? It wasn’t his family. I actually can’t quite see a time where Snow loses. Yes, at the end of mockingjay he is killed and he does want to keep the games going and that ends too. But I feel like he still succeeded in doing what he set out to do. In fact, the revolution kind of gave him even more of what he wanted. Chaos and hope that he could wield against the people in the districts. I feel like overall he just had this fuel against the districts that he set out to burn them all to the ground. But what does he love most.!? What ended up destroying him in the end.!? His love for the games.!?
I need kelp.!!!

I just can’t stop thinking about what was going on in Snow’s head when the Hanging Tree song surfaced at the end of the war. Was it like Lucy Gray’s spirit came to destroy him? Had she been haunting him all these years? What what was it! I want to knoooow

Friendly reminder that in the Mockingjay book, the clip of Katniss singing Hanging Tree never aired to the public. It never became a song of the rebellion as it did in the movie. President Snow never heard Katniss sing it. The only person who saw that clip was Peeta as part of his therapy. It was one of the first positive memories he had since the hijacking and I think that’s kinda sweet.

kids these days will never understand the cultural impact katniss everdeen had while she sang the hanging tree, while hundreds of people killed themselves as they tried to bomb the capital’s source of energy

“…Are you, are you, comin’ to the tree? / Where a dead man called out, for his love to flee, / Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be / If we met at midnight in the hanging tree…”

Something that will always make me sad is pre Catching Fire, there were *so* many versions of the Hanging Tree with people's own versions of the song. Now all the covers sound like the movie version. Not that it's a bad song but I really liked people's takes on the poem

Thank you, Jenny.
While none of them live in the closet I'm afraid, I have plenty of fellow skeleton friends around town.

We really enjoy your penmanship, by the way!

The story of the songbird and snake
The mother reads to her daughters with her husband by her side, “and that is how the snake and songbird, fell in love, but this isn’t a story of love. It is a story about how one can love but the other can never. For all they want is power.” The mother say. “Because There was once a girl who sang her way to victory. but the snake didn’t like it so he rewrote history” the mother closes the raggedy and torn leather bound book, that had been passed down the generation. “Mama?” The darker haired girl says “what songs did the songbird sing”
“Oh I can’t sing but I’m sure you’r father can.” she says turning to her husband. He gives her a smile and then starts to sing his voice hoarse from the work he’s done.
“are you, are you coming to the tree.”
