Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie: first response

⚠️SPOILERS⚠️

Okay so! There’s QUITE a few changes from the books. The funerals, which I read the book I always found so unsettling, were cut. Honestly, I was worried if I’d be able to stomach watching it on screen so honestly, those being excluded was a bit of a blessing. But, it’s not really clear if Didi and Apollo died in the attack on the Arena or not. The only confirmed mentor death is Felix, who has been upgraded from the president’s nephew to the president’s son!

The biggest change though, which after listening to the recording from the soundtrack I enjoy a lot, is how Lucy Gray wins her games. Rather than the snakes being released mid way through her games, the snakes are what ends her game. Dr.Gaul spirals, claiming that there doesn’t need to be a Victor and the districts MUST pay, especially because now the president’s son is dead because of these ‘rebels’. Lucy Gray poisons one of the tributes from Coral’s alliance, who’s name escapes me at the moment. I think it’s the one she’s kills with the snake. Lucy Gray’s (Rachel Zegler’s) performance in this scene is so powerful. It’s amazing. The way it’s reframed that she’s singing as the snakes shroud her and she’s the only one alive in the arena, is just chilling. Dr.Gaul refusing to end the games and Snow pleading for her to let Lucy Gray go, with the students chanting “Let her go. Let her go.” I’ve been a Rachel fan since the start. Since I was 12, I’ve been subscribed to her YouTube channel, and seeing the movie and her in it is so… AHHHH. This scene was just so powerful and I honestly still am not over it and can’t wait to see it again on my second viewing.

Reaper’s death also changed with this! He is killed with the snakes along with Coral and I believe two other tributes. Clemmie, sadly, is gone from the movie after the incident with the snakes. She also takes a much more like… not antagonistic per day, but cocky role. Reaper’s death was… it was good. His reaction to Wovey’a death being what triggers him creating the grave for the other tributes is amazing, and the performance of that grief and anger was so good.

The movie portrays the mercy of the games so well. Lucky Flickerman is HILARIOUS as a host which is so disturbing. “The odds are not likely but may they be in your favor” is what he says to Lucy Gray after her interview. His quips are funny and quick, and honestly a highlight of the movie. Only to be reminded of the dying children of course. It’s very Ceaser Flickerman and it’s amazing. After Lamina kills Marcus, Lucky even says “was it mercy or murder?”. It’s such a sharp contrast to Lamina and Marcus’ interaction. She gently reaches for his head, and he turns, face clenched with pain and sorrow, saying “please.” You can see how gentle Lamina is as she kills him, the music too really adds onto the tragedy of it. How Lamina, who is seen as weak and a cry baby for most of her screen time, offers such mercy. Lamina’s actress says nothing, but her performance is so beautiful.

The movie highlights on Lucy Gray’s grief and guilt too. When her and Snow reunite, she talks about how they are BOTH killers. She expresses such grief at how Dill (‘ill Dill’ and ‘Tuberculosis on legs’ WERE WILD ON LUCKY’s part) was the one who found the poison and the audience gets to see a lot of her live reactions to the game’s events.

THE LAST SONG OF LUCY GRAY

The way Rachel and Tom play the scene in the cabin is WILD. The movie’s tone SHIFTS so much the second Snow finds the guns. It becomes like a horror movie as Lucy Gray asks what is it and snow turns to her pointing the gun slightly at her, finger almost on the trigger ready to pull. Rachel’s performance of Lucy Gray in this scene is something I’ll be talking about for days. She’s a bit of a schemer, she is suspicious, and she knows what will come next. She tests the waters with him and when she says that besides the guns, she’ll be his only loose end, I can’t tell if Lucy Gray does it to taunt or test him.

SNOW. “Lucy gray. are you… are you trying to kill me? AFTER EVERYTHING I DID FOR YOU?” Something about the way Snow says this… it takes you out of context of the story because this is something that happens often in toxic relationships. It’s so real and raw, and honestly a little too close to reality than we would like. I personally see it as an effort on the writer’s part to make sure the audience doesn’t side with snow at the end. As we know, the Yassification of characters and if a bad person is attractive it’s okay yada yada IS such a discourse. Tom Blyth as Snow has been seeing a lot of this too. But this part? This part makes it a bit more real, which is greatly appreciated.

Everything about the last scene with Snowbaird was fantastic. The two people I went with said that they were honestly confused on who betrayed who. And who stopped trusting who first. And that’s what makes it so fun AHHH.

I have so many thoughts but not enough people to talk about it with, so word vomit on tumblr lol. I’ll prob have even more to say after round two! (My friend got to meet the cast today and I’m so jealous that I wasn’t able to go)

[hozukitofu]

Every time I view the tributes as "evil" or "annoying" or "stuck up" I have to physically chant THAT'S WHAT THE CAPITOL WANTS YOU TO THINK. We watch and consume media, and we are all easily suggestible to depictions and hidden agenda of the producers - I'm a kpoppie so I've seen my fill of reality shows and evil mnet editing, how someone can have their actions, words and expressions twisted into a narrative that isn't true. Media at the scale of the Games are not designed to tell the truth - that largely marginalised kids are ritually massacred to scare the districts from thinking about rebellion. The broadcasted Games are selling the deaths almost at an unreal quality, almost like it's not REALLY happening - and the emotional distance that the Capitol citizens are able to afford/and be removed from the brutality can pretend that it's not really there and more importantly, not THEIR kids. This is just a silly little show and these kids are only characters playing a role, but ooh sometimes we can get interactive and influence their odds. How fun! How exciting! And we in the Capitol get to do this Every Year? Give us drama and twists, different arenas and costumes every year so we can keep consuming.

It's so easy to call literal kids EVIL or SELFISH and INHUMANE. Anyone would be if they've been publicly announced to fight to the DEATH and having to survive 23 other people actively TRYING to murder them. Everything is RIGGED by the game makers and sponsors - create an environment that is so toxic that people have to be the worst versions of themselves to survive - for funsies. For shits and giggles. For laughs, for bets. Doesn't matter if the chosen tribute win, but they have to be entertaining. SICKENING.

So the next time you catch yourself slipping into Capitol propaganda, thinking about how kids are evil and murderous and annoying, also consider the additional fact that they HAVE TO BE, and also just because a teenager is annoying doesn't mean they should DIE FOR IT. I know we're all disdainful of kids and think they're not fully formed humans, and sometimes they can look like they're older than they are, but that doesn't excuse TELEVISED demonisation of certain actions. Kids who are ruthless so they can go home are just trying to play a game rigged against their LIVES. I think all of the tributes can do whatever tf they want, I support tribute rights AND wrongs. They're ANNOYING and I want them to LIVE. Two statements that can and should coexist

Okay so "alright I'm gonna show myself out" apparently is going to become a new resident tag on this blog because I'm in a super kinky mood while vacationing idk how else to explain this

nsfw / mdni / sub!coryo / softdom!sejanus / switch!reader/ major piss kink

Just imagine fooling around in the shower with the boys and you decide that you want both of them to piss on your pussy.

Sejanus is immediately on board with the idea while Coryo is a bit shy although deep down it turns him on more than anything.

Sej goes first and Coryo's baby blue eyes widen as he sees you moaning like a slut as soon as the strong, warm stream hits your clit. You buckle your hips towards it, aching for more of this exciting new sensation. Sejanus chuckles softly at your despair and he continues to direct it right at your sensitive bud until he's done.

Coryo goes next and Sej encourages him, caressing his sides and trailing soft little kisses down his neck. Coryo shivers at the warm feeling of his friend's lips against his skin and his piss spatters all over your stomach and thighs.

"So excited, babyboy! Don't worry just let it go," you encourage him gently and he steadies the stream, directing it up and down your already dripping cunt and teasing your swollen clit.

"That's it, just like that, love!" Sejanus whispers into Coryo's ear as he soaks you in the warm liquid.

"Thank you, boys!" You smile at them before licking the last few drops off Coryo's tip.

After that they take turns fucking you and cover you in thick loads of cum, praising each other and marveling at their job marking you as theirs in every way possible.

After that you all shower together and cuddle up in bed, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

an au where ava du mortain meets a charmingly infuriating performer at the local tavern that her and her fellow knights frequent.

an au where they fall in love and ava feels feelings she never thought she could ever feel before, an au where she finally understands what those inane poets were waxing on about.

an au where religious guilt and trauma gets in the way, shortly followed by the death of her entire family and her turning.

an au where the performer, her first and only love, also gets turned. unbeknownst to her. unbeknownst to one another.

an au where they both roam the earth for 900 long years, experiencing horrors and trials that no one human, no one being, should ever have to face.

an au where they come face to face, where one is working for the supernatural government, the agency. and where the other is working under the leader of the rogue supernaturals.

the thing is. i can actually make an entire gdocs just for every single of my scattered thoughts on the hunger games series and the ballad of songbirds and snakes and it STILL won’t be enough. there is too much to talk about. not only in terms of the characters and storylines and relationships, but also in terms of how scarily accurate it is to the reality of our world. and then not to mention the symbolism!! the parallels!! in so many ways. connections, connections all over the place. and then of course we have to talk about the characters!! how they represent that, how tragic everything is about them, etc etc. and then the relationships!! platonic, romantic, dynamics, etc etc. how this one sentence could mean this or maybe that. how this statement is a direct critique to this etc etc. I CAN GO ON AND ON AND ON AND IM GOING INSANE. none of my friends should ever ever casually ask me about anything from this series ever because then they’d figure out how actually crazy i am because i would ACTUALLY be talking at the speed of 917292928 miles per hour for hours if they’d let me and IT STILL WONT BE ENOUGH.

okay thank you for coming to my ted talk.

do you mind sharing your thoughts on lysistrata and livia’s names ? i have my own too n im interested in hearing yours !!

my thoughts on livia

Lysistrata Vickers is a very different character from Livia. While Livia is generally used as a mouthpiece of Capitol propaganda, Lysistrata is a much more pacifistic character. As the daughter of the president's physicians, she does her best to get Jessup, her Tribute from District 12, medicine and food. She's pretty much the antithesis of what we expect from the Capitol mentors.

Lysistrata Vickers is based on the titular character of Lysistrata, a comedy by the Greek playwright Aristophanes. In the play, an Athenian woman named Lysistrata convinces the women of Greece to withhold sexual favors from their husbands in protest of the Peloponnesian War. She believes that war is unfair to the women, who are trapped unmarried and childless at home while the men go around killing each other. The women band together, eventually taking over the Acropolis of Athens (and the entire treasury), preventing the men from continuing the war until they meet their demands.

Just as Lysistrata was a voice of peace and reason in Athens, Lysistrata Vickers constantly calls for basic human decency for the Tributes. When discussing the Hunger Games, Lysistrata asks, “And if the war is over, then technically the killing should be over, shouldn’t it?” (tbosas). She doesn't understand why there needs to be more suffering if they're already won. Her ideals appear again when Livia posits, “And who wouldn’t rather be the victor than the defeated?” by replying, “I don’t know that I have much interest in being either,” (tbosas). The two main readings of Lysistrata are as a feminist or a pacifist (though the play has elements of both). I would argue that Suzanne Collins had the pacifist reading in mind when naming the character, just based on these excerpts.

There absolutely is more to Lysistrata's character within tbosas, with Jessup saving her life in the Arena and her saving Lucy Gray's life when Jessup had rabies, but overall, I see Lysistrata Vickers as a good person trapped in a bad system. Even though she doesn't agree with the Hunger Games fundamentally, she still has to participate in the system, the same way the women of Greece had to remain in the same patriarchal system after the end of the War in Lysistrata.

#I'm a lot less familiar with this play compared to Livia Drusilla #so this one isn't quite as well thought out #but thank you for motivating me to get my lysistrata thoughts out #the hunger games #hunger games #thg #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #lysistrata vickers #lysistrata #classics #ask

what are your fav crack ships of aftg? personally me i love allison and kevin two bitches slaying love to see it

WHEHE well obviously its kevseth to me im too invested in the lore i made up in my head with @rabidfoxt to ever actually answer anything else when it comes to absolute favorite, i think hardly any other interactions in the book beat "i'm sick of him getting everything he wants because he's kevin day". like the jealousy! the tension! the hatred! the resentment! you have everything i want and i dont know what id do with myself if i wanted you too. you couldnt believe in me if you tried so i will make you hate me before you can get to that conclusion yourself. LIKE ITS PERFECT. ITS PERFECT

other than that though. (grabs you by your cheeks) listen to me. kevrenee. kevrenee is good and true. kevin acting out and being met with affectionate patience. trying to get renee to snap and hurt him and realizing she's not going to. knowing she COULD hurt him, knowing the extent of her mercy when she chooses not to. It's Real. It's Too Real. renee couldnt fix him but she could make him believe in a kind god when he looks at her

also if im being EVEN MORE real its kevjeanrenee. but i will abstain from sounding insane on main

#i love kevallison too its just that kevrenee man. hits different #its about immovable object vs unstoppable force #its about being annoying and callous and a brat and seeing renee not once raise a hand to hurt him for it #its about letting her gather him in her arms and run her nails down his neck and know she could snap it #its about renee rubbing her thumb against the corner of his eye and saying quietly under her breath #'you really are pretty' #DO YOU GET IT. DO YOUUU #(panting) (shaking) its about believing in a god only when renee says he should #asks #kevrenee #IM REAL. IM SO REAL #kevin could be her little bird. he could be her little songbird. if you even care #plus they could wrestle and get real sexy about it. maybe she could hold his face to the carpet idk idk. ass up face down pretty boy #im like if the oracle from greek mythology was an autistic high femme
