God I’ll never get over these two-
sigh
old post but it still hits
I presume that sejanus' body was left in district 12, I assume he never got his last rites. Maybe he was stuck there, underground in an unmarked grave until the bombs fell over the district. When for the first time in 65 long lonely years his bones were uncovered and he got to feel the sun shine over his weary remains. His own legacy waking him up to watch the snow fall, the districts rising up, the rebellion that he hoped to see. The mockingjay singing the end of the hunger games. Rather than the jabberjays that haunted him. What he had hoped for, for so long, finally coming to fruition.
But he still doesn't get his last rites.
His name is still lost to time like Lucy Grey's.
He never got to see his own district again.
The capitol fell, his "friend" fell.
He got what he wanted but it was too late for him, for Marcus, for so many others.
Sejanus Plinth is his own quiet tragedy, not 2 decades of life, being an outsider, trying to help. All for nothing, his death is near inconsequential.
A bitter tale of all those we lose to time that never see what they were fighting for. Wrong place or wrong time?
Left in 12, finally at rest in the districts.
Richard Papen, the character of romanticism despite being a cynic.
shauna shipman WHEN I CATCH YOU!!! i hate her sm nothing will make me like her 💔💔💔 anyone who is an opp to coach ben is my opp!!! and idc what anyone says she was a terrible friend to jackie but their relationship is interesting in how tragic it is 😞
Um what does it mean if my two comfort characters are Remus Lupin and Jude St Francis… asking for a friend
“boris seizing my hand, bloody at the knuckles where i’d punched him on the playground, and pressing it to his own bloodied mouth”
We should talk and appreciate more how the Hanging Tree song is forever tied to Sejanus as well.
Written and sung by Lucy Gray for Coriolanus, about the place where Sejanus died. Suzanne Collins successfully tied all three Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes protagonists to what is the most important song in the entire saga, without it feeling forced
how i remember that one scene in the secret history:
henry: don’t say fuck.
charles: oh yea? well fuck fuck fuck, you be fuckin my sister every night right? mhm. clock it.
richard: so when i was young my father beat my mother. lol sometimes he beat me too.
peeta "i'm more than just a piece in their games" mellark, katniss "we are unforgiving" everdeen, lucy gray "nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping" baird, and haymitch "they will not use my tears for their entertainment" abernathy.
so unfortunately college isn’t just about performing ancient greek rituals with your friends
