//I agree, I think only the Capitol citizens vote with maybe the Mayors of the Districts having a vote. But it's really only an illusion of democracy as even if there are other candidates, no one is ever really in the running. Snow is just so popular amongst the Capitol citizens

do we think that panem elects its presidents by running a conclave???

//That is fair. Donald Sutherland was just brilliant so I agree, anyone else was always going to be disappointing. I think he will do well though. He's a great actor.

snowjanus moots what do we think about the new casting

[snowalwayslandsontop]

I'm not a fan of the casting. I don't know who else they could have gotten to play the role to be fair. It just doesn't feel right for Snow? I'm fortunate that I don't like the book so I wasn't that invested in the casting. But I'm still disappointed.

I have no intentions of reversing anything Doctor. Now do as I ask. I haven't got all day.

question, were you the doctor who helped hijack me? No hate if you did

Mmm mmm mmm. Subject P ME3ELA5RK? I did. Supervise. From distant distance. Dr whitehill whitehill. Did most. Technically he's my boss but but I'm also his boss. . Really really there's only one who I actually have to listen to. He's not as ... Hiss hiss. As whitehill. But he has. ///ooc @snowalwayslandsontop ///

[snowalwayslandsontop]

You don't need to answer the boy if you don't want to. It fact, it's best that you don't. He has proven less than useful to us since he couldn't perform even the task I laid out for him.

//Coriolanus was a perfect ft to go into politics. Obviously we don't have much information about what happened between Ballad and Sunrise for him. But he was from a family of the Old Guard so 'old money' (which they lost but no one is supposed to know that) and has a well respected family name. As you said, he was rich, attractive, intelligent, charming. While we don't know exactly what happened after the end of Ballad, we do know he went to work for Gaul in the War Department while he was attending University. Personally I write that he goes onto kill Gaul so he can take her position as Head of the War Department and Head Game Maker where he works for several years before he kills the President and then steps up to be voted in. This career path makes sense as he's in the public eye and the Capitol citizens see him regularly, his hard stance on the Districts and also the way he, as Head Game Maker, is providing them with their entertainment. I don't think he would have needed to rig the election as such, because he ensured he was popular enough to be voted in.

How much do y’all wanna bet that Snow didn’t have to rig the election too much to win? My headcanon is that it was obviously not a “fair” election, explicitly excluding the districts because they don’t get votes (the same as how for the US our territories don’t) is only one of the several reasons why. But it’s not as clearly rigged as most people think when talking about ‘rigging.’ I don’t think he had to falsify votes or anything like that. Especially by the latter end he probably ran unopposed save for a candidate or two that would be viewed how we see 3rd party candidates.

He won and keeps winning because not enough regular, Capitalite, adult people care enough about politics to bother voting. They’re too distracted entertaining themselves with the wealth the city steals from the districts to be attentive about what the president is doing, how he’s doing it, why he’s doing it, etc, etc. They have trends to keep up with, images to maintain, homes and bodies to redecorate over and over and over to stay in-style, getting whatever pets are the new fun thing, deciding what the next finish of their walls will be, etc, etc.

Their kids are likely just not taught about 90% of Panem’s history, most of which would be revisionist and told to focus more on all the other subjects cause those are more useful anyway, after all no one makes money being a ‘historian’. *Shudder* Absolutely not, it would be a waste of energy. If you’re going to be in the arts, become a make up artist, a plastic surgeon, interior decorator, cosmetologist, etc, something people actually care about and use frequently and would give you the life you’ve been told you want!

If you HAVE to choose history because of ‘fulfillment’ or ‘happiness’ or whatever 🙄, make it art history! The paint that was used, the types of tools, but only certain artists. After all only CERTAIN people are even capable of creating ‘true’ art and not just the equivalent of cave paintings. So focus on Capitalite artists, and don’t spend too much time wondering how their medias, tools and other necessities were sourced since it’s probably district productions, but rather on the artists inspirations, their use of color, all that fun stuff people want to know and appropriate for their uses.

So the adults are distracted, the children are indoctrinated, and what few dissidents remain are easily ‘persuaded’, silenced or disposed of (indirectly or otherwise) if they’re seen as real threats. As far as “rigging” it like miscounting votes or reporting false numbers, it’s unlikely. MAYBE for the first one but not even then, since he was very handsome, educated, had the right background and sold a good story about “patriotism” and “maintaining peace.”

//Coriolanus should always be written as the complete and utter mess that he is 😂 at best he puts on a facade but he is a twink who absolutely needs to be obliterated. And I love him for it. 😂

the difference in the way snowbairds and snowjanus fans write Coriolanus in fics is so funny

[snowalwayslandsontop]

//You're completely correct. In the book too, Sejanus' rebel activities are even worse than the movie shows. He tells Coriolanus that he's going to drug the guards using his mothers treats, then force the unarmed guards to be locked in a room using guns against them before they made their escape.

Coriolanus never meant to get Sejanus killed. In fact he has a panic attack when he realises that he might have incidentally put Sejanus at risk. He wants to get the birds back and when he can't, he continues to hope that Gaul will never even get the message he sent. When he sent it, he assumed that Strabo Plinth would simply pay to get his son a discharge and take him back to the Capitol. It clear in the book that simple association got people killed, Coriolanus even says that in the movie. "I'll be hung just for knowing you." It's also important to note that Coriolanus sends that message before the shooting of Mayfair and Billy Taupe. At that point, Sejanus hadn't committed any serious crimes or treason yet. Coriolanus was trying to save him and himself too but Gaul, who was grooming Coriolanus, took advantage of the message for her own reasons. He never intended for Sejanus to get killed.

saw someone say that lucy gray would’ve been fine with coriolanus turning sejanus in for sedition but like no she wouldn’t?? she’s a survivor in the sense that she’s chill with coriolanus killing bobbin in the arena as self-defense (like do what you gotta do) and she’s okay with killing to survive (wovey) and she’s even okay with killing someone who would hurt a person she loves (targeting coral after coral brags about going after coryo). but what she’s not okay with is betrayal and betrayal of your family. and what coriolanus did was betrayal. she would see it as coriolanus betraying someone who was like a brother. and betraying him to the capitol! to dr. gaul! the woman that made her life a living hell in the games. so it’s also a betrayal to her! trying to get on the good side of someone that would’ve let lucy gray die horrifically by mutant snake bite. I think she would see coriolanus’ betrayal as akin to billy taupe’s. she calls billy out for still running around with mayfair after she got her in the hunger games. and what’s coriolanus doing? running around with gaul and the capitol behind lucy gray’s back. so I think she would find coriolanus’ betrayal of sejanus to be a dealbreaker.
