#can't catch me now

[incorrect-tbosas]

can't catch me now is the perfect end credits song because this is lucy gray's parting message to him.

she's the songbird always perched on his shoulder, the snake with his heart in a vise, the ghost girl who will forever haunt him. he will never be free of her or her mockingjays.

In the end "Snow lands on top" a rant

I just finished the book, and people are right, you actively find yourself rooting for Snow, for a split second you completely forget who he is, who he is to become. You want him to be a good person, the moment I knew his humanity was faltering was when he killed Mayfair and Billy Taupe. He excused it as protecting Sejanus and Lucy Gray, but at the root of it, Coriolanus Snow is a product of Capitol brainwashing and taught to dehumanize the people of the districts.

He's so complex and fucked up and sociopathic and Olivia's song is a perfect encapsulation of Lucy Gray, AND Sejanus Plinth haunting him for the rest of his life. Snow can pretend and poison and erase the memory of them but people with unfinished business tend to come back to finish it.

I had refused to read the last chapter holding it off, cause I already saw the mental change in Snow's character, I was invested but I knew my heart will be broken. Because we only ever knew her through Snow's lens; Lucy Gray Baird's fate forever a mystery, just like her life.

Thank you for reading this mini rant, I'll probably rant again after a while.

I saw tbosas yesterday and Can't Catch Me Now has immediately found it's way into my playlist and I don't think you understand the brilliance of the writing

You think that I got away / but I'm in the trees,I'm in the breeze / my footsteps on the ground Snow thinks he killed her and erased her from the memory of everyone but the soul of Lucy Gray, her music, remains. It becomes so intertwined in the culture of the district 12 that 64/65 years later Katniss sings the Meadow song to Rue and The hanging tree becomes the song of the rebellion. Now imagine what it must have felt like for Snow

You'll see my face in every place / but you can't catch me now And he does, Snow sees her everywhere, in Peeta, in Katniss, in the district but he can't do anything about it

same thing with the next verse I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere /........ / I bet you figured I'd pass with the winter / be something easy to forget / Oh, you think I'm gone because I left I mean... do I even need to explain myself

and then the last part which has me pulling my hair out of my head every freaking time Sometimes the fire you founded / Don't burn the way you'd expect/ you though this was the end BECAUSE KATNISS IS THE GIRL ON FIRE AND IT'S THE SYMBOL OF THE REBELLION

please give many awards to the geniuses that are Dan Nigro and Olivia Rodrigo thank you bye

SEJANUS PLINTH DRABBLE.

a/n: ty for the love on play date purrrrr ahhhh

nsfw ahead !

his only worry was school right now. you’d been needing his attention for so long now, though. his fingers cramp from writing his report due tonight, made under short notice after an “outburst” he had. “not now, paper’s due an’ i gotta have it in,” he hushes your complaints of him working too much, and not paying any attention to you. his leg bounces while his chair creaks underneath him.

he obviously couldn’t focus, though, fidgeting and flipping through a textbook constantly. “you’re so stressed, though. l’me help you, sej,” your fingers trail up the back of his neck, raising hairs in their wake. he sucks air in through his teeth sharply before pausing, contemplating, tongue gliding over his teeth. his hand resting on his leg, he pats his thigh softly, signaling for you to sit.

“15 minutes, 15. c’mon,” his grin spreading across his face, eyeing you and those little shorts, you needed his attention. he didn’t say it nor show it, but he was desperate. he wanted you on him, so badly, but he needed to keep his sights set on school. his soft, big hands pulled your waist to get you on his leg, still bouncing. “you really wanna help me? wanna make me feel good?” his hand wraps around your wrist, taking it to his dick. so hard through his pants, it hurt him to even move. “i’ll help you, of course, i will,” he loved that about you, so good for him, you’re all his. “m’ gonna fuck you ‘till i’m spillin’ out of you,” he coos in your ear, gripping your thighs on either side of his leg.

he fucks you so good, taking his time to run his fingers all over your puffy slit, giving you sloppy kisses all over you. his cock sitting up against his tummy, so hard. you end up going for hours, him not getting enough of your cock hungriness, his cock making you writhe from your cervix getting bullied by him. your legs over his shoulders, his cock going in and out of you, juices getting all over. he stretches your weepy little cunt while mumbling thank yous and praises into your ear, gripping your hips to keep you from moving. his hips snap into you while he tongue kisses you, lips getting all swollen from the constant smashing into each other.

he tangles his hands through your hair while you deliver kisses to his red fat tip. “thank you, s’ s’ much, doll,” your finger running against a vein, “helpin’ me focus s’ much, agh,” your eyes water as your throat gets fucked to your limits. before he cums, he grips a fistful of your hair, bucking your hips into his mouth.

“you’re so good, doll, such a good help f’ me,” warm hands rub your back, cooing into your ear.

i have plans i cannot share because the haters will sabotage me

theme kinda inspired by murdrdocs ur so good !

there's something beautiful about how a solid argument can be made that "can't catch me now" is about lucy gray, coriolanus, or sejanus

I saw in a comment on the can't catch me now video on YouTube that Lucy Gray managed to escape from Snow, but he never managed to escape from her. And this has been living in my head for hours.

Surely someone has made something Bagginshield related by now to Can't Catch Me Now from the new hunger games?

Thorin is forever haunted by his treatement of Bilbo?

There's blood on the side of the mountain (!!!) There's writing all over the wall Shadows of us are still dancin' In every room and every hall (the golden hall) There's snow fallin' over the city (Dale? Laketown??) You thought that it would wash away The bitter taste of my fury (ramparts...) And all of the messes you made (I mean all of BotFA) Yeah, you think that you got away

But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze (bilbo, a child of Yavanna!) My footsteps on the ground (connected to all the nature-y things) You'll see my face in every place But you can't catch me now Through wading grass, the months will pass You'll feel it all around I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere But you can't catch me now No, you can't catch me now

It genuinely fits so well and it would also emotionally devastate me. Alas, my skills of editing, drawing etc. leave much to be desired (non-existent).

AND LATER

There's blood on the side of the mountain (ONCE AGAIN) It's turning a new shade of red Yeah, sometimes the fire you founded (IT'S SO THEM??) Don't burn the way you'd expect Yeah, you thought that this was the end

FUCK OFF IT'S SO THEM??????

So you know that feeling after a while of not seeing someone, you tend to forget their voice and if you don't have a picture of them, you start to forget their face?

I'd like to imagine Snow eventually forgot the sound of Lucy Gray's voice and her lyrics, but it's not as though he was shattered over that. I'm sure one morning he woke up, realized he had completely forgotten "his girl's" face, and he was content, maybe even relieved. Just like how history and the Capitol would forget her, so would he. And that's all he could hope for.

Now, you remember that nostalgic feeling and memories that rush back to you whenever you hear a song that you haven't heard in years? Suddenly, you remember the beat and the lyrics, word for word, like you haven't forgotten at all?

Imagine that, but 65 years later. 65 years and suddenly Snow is thrown for a real fucking loop. The moment he hears Katniss sing the meadow song, it all comes flooding back to him. Unlocking a memory he kept in a vault far from the public eye.

Whether or not Lucy Gray is dead during the events of the 75th Hunger Games, I'm sure she would be laughing at the irony, and her laughter gets picked up by mockingjays. And even though Snow is nowhere near a mockingjay where he sits comfortably in the Capitol... his could definitely still hear it, echoing in the back of his mind. The sound of her voice, haunting him in his sleep and especially while he's awake... 65 years later.

"Be somethin' easy to forget

Oh, you think I'm gone 'cause I left

But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze

My footsteps on the ground

You'll see my face in every place

But you can't catch me now

Through wading grass, the months will pass

You'll feel it all around

I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere

But you can't catch me now

No, you can't catch me now..."

the moment I listened to the new olivia rodrigo's track for the new hunger games movie I just KNEW that one was a padme coded song I mean "you think I'm gone cause i left but I'm in the trees I'm in the breeze my footsteps are on the ground"????? "I'm here I'm there I'm everywhere but you can't catch me now"??????? "I'm higher than the hopes that you've brought down"????????? Padme may have died but not her rebellion, not her beliefs, the people that admired her rose against the empire as the amidalas, bail and mon continued the alliance, her children fought against the man that killed their mother and luke manage to bring anakin back - something that only padme could. padme amidala is the face that hunts down palapatine's nightmare and no one can tell me otherwise
