Rowan, Talking To Dorian: Either Walk Like You’re The King Or Walk Like You Don’t Care Who The King

This YouTube comment has been on my mind since I finished SOTR so this is what I came up with:

Lucy Gray was the mockingbird, living on the outskirts of district 12 and was there at the wrong time when they were forced to stay there after the Dark Days. They were subjected to the Capitol’s politics despite not being a part of Panem, technically speaking. Lucy Gray became part of the Games and, likewise, the mockingbird became affiliated with the Capitol through the jabberjay’s release into the woods, but it still continued to sing its own song.

Haymitch was the jabberjay, a Capitol tool that did what it had to in order to survive. The Capitol thought they could control them, but they retaliated in the form of rebellion. Haymitch refused to be a piece in their game and tried to end it, and the jabberjay, in the eyes of the Capitol, created a freak of nature that showed the Capitol’s lack of complete control.

Katniss was the mockingjay, a slap in the face of the Capitol, something that was never meant to exist. Together, the song of the mockingbird that lived on for generations and the stubbornness of the jabberjay that refused to die, the mockingjay had the best of both worlds. It was a symbol of rebellion and unity.

I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.

Tuffnut: Can we get a birthday cake?

Hiccup: It’s not your birthday.

Tuffnut: The cake won’t know!

Astrid: Hiccup, we need to talk.

Hiccup: Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

Rowan: Someone has to go to Maeve and confront her.

Aedion: I vote we all look at Aelin at the same time.

Ruffnut: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me?

Hiccup: It isn’t smirking at anyone, you’re all just imagining it.

Tuffnut: Three of us saw it, Hiccup. How do you explain that?

Hiccup: *points at Astrid* Sleep deprivation.

Hiccup: *points at Fishlegs* Paranoia.

Hiccup: *points at Snotlout* Delusional personality disorder.

Ruffnut: *spits mouthful of blood onto floor* You’ve become far more powerful since we last crossed paths.

Dentist: Please stop, there’s literally a sink right next to you.

Pansy, crying: Oh my God, I must look like a mess right now.

Draco, reaching into his pocket: Here.

Draco: Have some concealer.
