#NOT OLD SNOW

I like fictional men who are a little bit crazy

No shade but the ppl losing their minds learning that the Old Therebefore is a funeral song and that Lucy Gray was singing it bc she thought she was gonna die….like….yeah.jpg didn’t you read the first line of the song? Lucy Gray didn’t know about the snakes or that Snow put the handkerchief in there, no duh she thought she was gonna die. The thing that gets me though (and this is why I love Rachel Zegler’s performance of this scene) is that once she realizes the snakes aren’t attacking her, the song is no longer a funeral song; it becomes a big ol’ middle finger to the Capitol. Girly looked straight into that camera and said you hear that, motherfuckers? I’m staying right the fuck here

sunrise on the reaping spoilers (question mark?)? mostly talk about the ballad of songbirds and snakes so

but yeah it’s so funny to me how out of all the songs lucy gray sings that are still known to the remaining covey (“the old therebefore,” “the hanging tree,” “nothing you can take”) and the ones the capitol adored (“the ballad of lucy gray baird”), the song she sings for coriolanus is suspiciously absent from retellings and shows

it’s so hilarious to me that “pure as the driven snow” is the only song that isn’t repeated throughout the books, because its message is no longer relevant or true. lucy gray doesn’t love, trust, or need coriolanus at the end of the ballad of songbirds and snakes, whereas every other song in sunrise on the reaping has a purpose.

burdock sings “the old therebefore” as it’s a covey funeral song.

the covey performed “nothing you can take” and maysilee’s grandmother tells her the lyrics to comfort her.

“the ballad of lucy gray baird” is televised to haymitch to taunt him, and he makes the connection between the song and the only little known district 12 victor.

“the hanging tree” is a song of defiance that ends up in the mockingjay’s life, and is used as a rallying cry for the earliest stages of the rebellion in twelve.

but “pure as the driven snow,” a song of devotion for a man who no longer deserves it, is conspicuously absent from the rest of the timeline after its first and only performance.

Reblogging this drawing with the Timelapse because I finally figured out how to add those and I think it’s cool

Took me about 60 hours which is CRAZY,, I call this one The Quark Family when I’m talking about it (which seems apt) and I’ve literally crammed so many references and details and hours into this my life feels so empty without it. Tumblr is butchering the image quality but that’s just what it is ig,,, I’ve tried and I can’t seem to fix it

Progress shots and closeups under the cut (and a full list of the references and stuff I crammed in in the tags bc I have to know that they’re all noticed)

Does anyone think about how the other covey members , went with Snow and Lucy Gray to the meadow , to the lake? How he was the man that helped their Lucy Gray survive.

Then one day they find out Lucy Gray is missing , but Snow is also gone. So maybe the ran away together?

Then they see Snow in the capital , rising to power. They watch as he becomes president. And they watch him take 2 of their districts children every year to kill them. And then they watch as their Lenore Dove is also killed because of Snow.

And then they’re finally able to travel again, but at the cost of what was their home for 75 years. And there in the new town , he plays his fiddle. And sees at last how Snow falls.
