So I saw The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes over the weekend and there’s been a few oddball things I’ve seen on social media

Now the first being all the people simping over young Snow… Im mainly chalking that up to Tom Blyth being in the role than anything else and the fact that the movie doesn’t really show Snow’s inner monologue that the book does cause when you’ve read the book then you Know what kinda sociopath Snow really is.

Second, the amount of Snowxreader fics I’ve seen… y’all missed the point SO badly

Third ties into the last two with people being avid Gale haters since the first trilogy and then being a Snow apologist. Like How?! (At least with Gale you feel some sort of empathy with him in the beginning that dissipates as the books go on with the decisions that he makes and the way he treats others but because TBOSAS is a prequel that we got later we know what person Snow becomes so you can’t feel anything but destain for the guy)

Fourth, the “Lucy Gray is actually President Coin” theories… what? What in Lucy Gray’s character in the book Or film would lead you to that conclusion? I understand that you want some semblance of closure to Lucy Gray’s character because we don’t get one because the story is told through Snow’s perspective but to think that a girl who wants to be free of Snow would turn around and end up as “Snow in a different font” to the point to where Katniss kills her instead of Snow is just Beyond me

And this is just a personal thing for me but I don’t understand the people getting upset that the Ballad of songbirds and snakes had Singing in it. Common sense ain’t so common I guess…

alright so maybe I’m being a bit of a wet sock but are the “gale blew up prim” memes getting kinda old to anyone else?

like I kinda get it, I used to be an avid gale hater, too. nowadays, though, I’m more gale neutral and rendering him down to “he blew up prim” just kinda… I don’t know, it does his character a disservice imo. say what you will about him as a person, but he is such an interesting character.

also do some people seriously think he felt no remorse for what happened to prim whatsoever? I’m not trying to say he did nothing wrong, he absolutely should be held accountable for his actions and katniss has zero obligation to talk to him ever again, but like… he cared about prim, y’all. he has three younger siblings—one of them (rory) being the same age as prim—he promised to take care of her if katniss died in the games, she sat on his shoulders to welcome katniss back home, he was the one who led prim to the bomb shelter earlier in mockingjay… I think he felt bad.

I think the best thing he can do post-mockingjay is acknowledge the permanent damage he did and move forward, because no amount of anger or grief is going to bring prim back.

the best thing he can do for prim now is learn and not let her death be in vain. the best thing he can do for katniss now is keep what happened to prim from happening again. I hope his family and any new friends he makes are able to help him process his grief in a productive way so he can accomplish all of this.

anyways ship delly and gale. he needs a dorky girl to balance out his seriousness and maybe get him to have fun for once. ok thanks bye
