Just thinking about Sejanus:

Sejanus' defiance towards Capitol culture and ideals being a cornerstone of his identity

His memories of District 2 slowly fading as he spends more and more time growing up in the Captiol

He is othered, he is 'different'; his money is dirty, he does not belong

He knows deep down in his core that he is District, not only because of his birthplace and those fading childhood memories, but also because everyone around him reminds him that he is not like them

One day, in his teens, Sejanus realises he has spent more of his life in the Capitol than outside of it

The opulence of the Plinth household continues to multiply - but Sejanus is still from the districts, and that makes him better, that makes his a real person

He isn't some performance of social convention, Sejanus is a real, living and breathing human, and the Capitol reminds him of everything he is not, everything he is better without

But eventually, he sees footage of District 2, and realises how different the town square looks, how the buildings have changed since the war, how it isn't the same as he remembers

He is outspoken in his beliefs, he has money and power behind him but uses none of it

He can't understand how his father tries to assimilate when it's clearly so futile

It is only when he is face-to-face with Marcus for the first time in over a decade, when Sejanus realises how much he has changed. How much the Capitol has seeped into his skin and changed him. How he has forgotten hunger, and dirty clothes, and skinned knees, and dust. He has forgotten the bombs, and the hardship. Marcus (and everyone else in District 2, everyone else on the outside) has changed too, and he hasn't witnessed it. Not really, not beyond the grainy footage filmed for those Capitol propaganda specials that he so breezily derides.

It is only then that Sejanus realises that he truly is above it all, not by choice but by force of circumstance. He is no longer District, not in any way that matters, not in any way that derives the meaning that he's so long sought.

And Sejanus is a boy untethered; not District to the Districts, not Capitol to the Capitol, and yet somehow entirely untouchable. Isolated in the golden tower his father has built. He has everything, he has nothing. He is a god, he is an empty cavern.

Sejanus has everything; he is nothing. He is inconsequential.

He does not know what he is anymore.

if you hate sejanus i’m going to automatically assume that you’re shallow. sounds overdramatic but i think being a sejanus hater says a lot about a person. because literally every single argument against him is either just not true, stupid or very easily disputable. sej haters dni!!!

Analysis that needs more detail: Sejanus projecting his daddy issues onto Coriolanus and Coriolanus projecting his mommy issues onto Sejanus.

"omg people who ship snowbaird are missing the point!" nah when i say i ship them i don't mean i think they ACTUALLY should've run away together and lived happily ever after. that would've undermined the whole story and it would've wrecked what i find interesting about them as a couple. i ship them because i like watching snow fall apart in real time and seeing exactly how crazy two people can make each other. i ship them in the same way i like villain/hero ships in general and in the way "no children" is one of my favorite songs to put on ship playlists. shipping ≠ thinking it should be canon.

"commander plinth, I don't think this is appropriate—"

"mm. well I think it is, so…" he shrugs, setting him on his desk.

"but—"

"no buts, private snow." he leans in and kisses along coriolanus's neck. "it must not be that inappropriate, because you're not doing much to stop me."

"s-sir, I'm—"

"what was that?" he hums. "what did you call me?"

"uh… s-sir…" coriolanus frowns. "why?"

"nothing. I liked it," commander plinth smirks. "say it again," he says, staring into his eyes.

coriolanus gulps nervously. "sir…?"

"hm. now say it without the question tone."

"sir."

"that's better," commander plinth nods. "you're so distracting, do you know that?"

"uh… no?"

"well now you do," he smirks. "I just have to have you. wanna be the only one who can make you see stars. yeah?"

If Sufjan stevens liked Illinois so much why didn’t he write a song about the time my brother lost his iPod nano in the Chicago children’s museum ball pit and I wished on the first star I saw that night that it would be under my pillow when I woke up the next morning so I could give it back to him and when it wasn’t there I became disillusioned from the idea that the universe would manifest something for you if you wanted it terribly badly enough because it was fair the wishing star couldn’t give me a pet horse like I’d previously wished but this was such a simple and earnest request

Was it casual when, to calm down from the panic attack you were having because you are the reason I was hanged, you rubbed your finger over the heart-shaped pebble I kept in my locker

The Shop is Open!

Still getting some of the details set up, but the first few dolls have been listed, so if you want you can grab one from the first batch, or bookmark the listing to see when I restock with more!

I hope to add a Tigris doll soon, plus a different outfit option for Lucy Gray that I can hopefully make less expensively, and eventually peacekeeper options for Coriolanus and Sejanus, so be on the lookout for those as well! :D

Friendly reminded that Sejanus Plinth is the only person in the book able and brave enough to stand up to Dr. Gaul.

Just saying.
