I think that part of the reason why President Snow is such a well-written villain is because he genuinely never does lie to Katniss. When he says "let's agree to always tell each other the truth," the first time they meet, it not a line, he actually sticks to that. Like a villain who is both incredibly dangerous and and totally trustworthy? Just, openly trying to kill you and being completely upfront with you about it? That's so fucking fascinating to experience
There's something very sad about all those posts that are like "Dumb city people who post #aesthetic pictures of deer are stupid because if they actually went to the country and saw a deer they'd know that deer are stupid garbage animals and they suck" cuz like I came here from the woods & I still think deer are nice to look at after seeing them regularly my entire life & eating many of them so idk I think this is less about city people and is more of a "stop and smell the roses" type of situation
