Sounds legit
What’s interesting to me is people who’ve only seen the movie saying Coriolanus was “sweet” or “innocent” in the beginning
Reading the book the first thing you really get from him is his bitterness and a false sense of superiority over everyone (even his remaining family)
It’s interesting how vastly different the opinion of him can be based on which media you’ve consumed first.
My thoughts on The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes as a book reader:
• The movie was honestly really good, I enjoyed the fact that we could see most things from Snow’s perspective. Especially the final dialogue exchange between Snow & Lucy, I feel like it was perfect for their last words before Snow turned on her.
• The costume design was AMAZING!! Especially the chosen design for Dr Gail’s outfits. I could talk about those red and white garments FOR HOURSSSS!!!
• MY BABY BOY SEJANUS!!! I literally gripped my seat during THAT scene, it broke me, and it made my heart ache when it was clear that snow deeply regretted the decision to report back to Dr Gaul.
• I really wish they added more about Tigris’ character, such as the things she had to resort to in order to help her family survive the war. I just feel like we did not get to see the true extent of the relationship between Coriolanus and Tigris, I know it’s only a film with limited time, but I just wished they could’ve added it in.
• I also wish we learnt more about the Covey just like we did in the books, such as Maude Ivory, Goatman ect…but I absolutely LOVED the Covey.
• Tigris saying “You look just like your father.” Made my blood run cold, I feel like it ultimately represented the final transition to the ‘President Snow’ we come to see in the main Hunger Games Series.
• Also I wish that we had the exchange between Strabo Plinth and Snow, alongside more of a relationship between Sejanus and Coriolanus such as the small gestures (for example Sejanus and his cookies that his Ma often made and gifted Snow.) I feel like it would’ve added more to the deep betrayal that we get in the books.
I could say so much more but it would go on for hours so I’m going to stop here :)
Overall, the movie was great. It was definitely worth the wait, and I will be making it my personality for the next couple of weeks!!!
watching the tbosas movie reminded me of how long it took me to read the book. i was very reluctant to read it because i thought reading a book written in snow’s point of view would make me feel for him and therefore see reason in his actions. but the thing is, the point of tbosas is not to make snow more human and therefore forgivable, but to show how choices change people. he just proves lucy gray’s point that “there’s a natural goodness built into us all. we can step across that line into evil, or not”, because he chooses to cross that line over and over again through the story. president snow is such an interesting villain because he is not irrational, he doesn’t simply want katniss or any of his enemies dead, he wants everything to be under control, under his control. he has a reason to do the things he does, and said reasons are what essentially make him a bad person. he’s so obsessed with the idea of perfection to the point where anyone who disrupts it — sejanus, lucy gray, and eventually katniss — becomes an enemy to him, a pebble in his shoe that he can discard, just like that, and move on with his life. it’s already so infuriating in the book but to actually see how quick he turns against lucy gray and sejanus and goes back to his life as if nothing happened ???? insanity. my heart was racing the entire time. i was attracted to him for five minutes because tom blyth and then i was just sick to my stomach for the rest of the movie <3

Some doodles because movie is soooooo good!
how it started -> how it's going
ily: i love you ilysm: i love you so much yapyabyltswtwoyntsiytayadkys: you’re a painter. you're a baker. you like to sleep with the windows open. you never take sugar in your tea. and you always double-knot your shoelaces.
Lmao imagine being president snow and hearing the song the rebels are using as their chant is the song your ex girlfriend created about the execution you both saw and how her ex boyfriend (who you were already insanely jealous of) begged her to run away with him
Like he already hated it then, imagine how much he hates it now, like what a (unknown from the rebels) slap in the face it is, his ex haunting him still from the grave
all these messages like “what harm does hogwarts legacy actually cause 🙄” babe have you been like. gone??? for the last like three years since jk rowling (woman who profits off of the harry potter ip) started tweeting transphobic shit and working politically to hurt us? and for the last thirty years since she published her shitty book with shitty antisemitic and racial stereotypes?????? have you been off the internet for all the posts about the fact that the plot of the game literally hinges around blood libel? girl hogwarts legacy is causing harm in like seventeen easily identifiable ways and i have a hard time believing that you don’t actually know that. use some critical thinking and compassion and like. idk. consider the direct flow of money to support both a game studio producing antisemitic shit and a woman who wants trans people Gone and the attention to both that woman and the BLATANT ANTISEMITISM. + all the transphobes in my inbox are not making points cause i know y’all know about the antisemitism too and terf support for this game ALONGSIDE their fascist bullshit? girl you can’t be doing this right after the terf who quoted hitler at a rally. i didn’t think you’d want to show your whole ass over a video game but obviously being hateful toward marginalized people always comes first ✨
