#fun fact abt me is that “can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee lives rent free in my head…

[scandalouslamb]

other things that snow and john gaius have in common:

fell in love with a girl named after a girl who died mysteriously in a poem (annabel lee, anyone) and then screwed it up

would definitely make "in this economy?" jokes

I feel like it’s not an exact fit, but there’s some parallel to be drawn between John-Augustine-Mercymorn and Coriolanus-Sejanus-Lucy Gray. Something about pushing people away the people who love you through lies.

Both of them knowing better than others about how systems oppress people but still choosing to support the Capitol/create an empire and impose the same hardships they endured (and even worse) on others

Snow continuing The Hunger Games long after the First Rebellion (on so many children who were born after that war) and John’s millennia long vendetta

I truly do believe (and I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before) but The Locked Tomb’s whole love changes you for better or worse (it’s finished, it’s done. You can’t take loved away.) theme goes really well with tbosas. I’m genuinely surprised more people don’t try to draw more parallels between the two, but also idk how much overlap there is between the fandoms.

(Sometimes, I entertain a tbosas necro/cav au… it’s not at all fleshed out, and I play with different scenarios that aren’t fixed. It’s also predictably Ravinstill forward)
