Maybe the Perfect Marriage Revenge was all the product placement we saved for the end.

I would like to thank the writers for Perfect Marriage Revenge for their commitment to giving the viewers pure unadulterated campy hijinks week after week.

I'm not ready for it to end but have loved every chaotic minute of it

A weekly question I struggle with too

Do I watch Castaway Diva first today for the awesome songs or Perfect Marriage Revenge for the unhinged, insane drama?

I'm sorry but the way this is edited is so fucked up.

Okay so for the first screengrab - there was the moment where Coryo went to get Sejanus out of the arena and they had a really tender moment and I forget if their foreheads touched but that to me is where the ship starts (but of course hard for me to stomach the ship when Coryo gets the guy killed)

Reviews I chuckled at or like agreed or whatever (lol) part 5

no because the fact that lucy gray could leave such an impression on the public and they still forget about her… if i don’t get to talk about how timelessly relevant that little bit of suzanne’s commentary is i might choke on it

the ballad of songbirds and snakes: a cautionary tale about why you shouldn't date a cop

[metamehta]

Okay but imagine your cousin/friend is dating this guy and he kinda gives you the ick (in a c**ty fascist kinda way) but your girl swears he's okay and you're like not my circus. And then one day your girl and the guy both disappear. Years pass and you see the fascist and he's now the fucking President?? But your girl is nowhere to be found??

And that's why I feel like Maude Ivory was like OH HELLLL NO to Coriolanus Snow. And decided to pass down The Hanging Tree song

you ever listen to a song 47 times in a row and every time you’re like wow what a good song. I’m gonna play it again.

lads, can we take a second to talk about how dramione-coded The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is??? like I spent way too much time planning it out but omg it works as such a good freaking dark dramione au????

i'm never going to write this fic myself but ahh i just need to put it into the universe and hope theres some dramione fic writer who is already working on this idea.

let me map it out for you starting with the basics, and how certain aspects of hp could be changed to fit this hunger games dramione au.

coriolanus is our draco, aside from the physical features the two characters share (if you saw the trailer for the movie, you get it), we've got the aspect of both draco and coryo being self-serving, almost obsessive, their desire to maintain appearances and his general kissassery.

lucy gray is our hermione. this one is a bit less of a direct translation in terms of personalities - but we're changing the pureblood/muggleborn aspect to capitol/district. hermione in some dark fics is written as more of a hopeful ray of sunshine and that would work here

sejanus, was the one that inspired me to think of this au idea in the first place. if you read manacled, there's certain similarities between harry potter and sejanus plinth - both are brave and want to do good, but in both stories go about trying to bring change in the most foolhardy ways.

moving on, we got

dr gaul is bellatrix - no description needed, theyre both absolutely unhinged

the slytherin kids and other hp characters like ernie mcmillan, cho chang etc as coryo's classmates in the capitol. marietta of course, as Clemensia to mirror the way she is also scarred in canon

billy taupe is ron - now i love ron, but this works best with the idea of old dramione fics with their ron bashing, especially when you can have mayfair as lavender

playing a bit more with hp family dynamics, i'd change the covey's to be the weasley children (basically i'm just destroying the whole weasley family and for what?), with maude ivory as ginny

ma plinth as molly weasley - good food

strabo plinth as lucius malfoy - yeah i know im breaking up lucius/narcissa and arthur/molly but it works with the characterization

these last two characters are a bit tricky, and i need you to stick with me for this. instead of having crassus snow be lucius malfoy - i would actually have grindelwald be draco's father. why? so that we can have the canon aspect of the grindelwald - dumbledore relationship in coryo's father and dean highbottom. i know it would be more intuitive to have dumbledore as a rebel leader but idk this dark dramione au aspect demands a dumbledore thats kinda broken down

Casca Highbottom:

Coriolanus Snow is a muppet. And I hope he dies of the incurable condition of being a little bitch.

Just a dumb stray thought I had as I read TBoSaS
