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 

The Secret History destroyed my life like what do you mean I can't drink wine and study classical literature and spend the nights in a countryside mansion with piano echoing through the dark halls and break through the confines of humanity in a bacchanal and commit a string of murders and try to escape but eventually kill myself in a blaze of glory, ultimately shattering the lives of the people around me? That I can't escape the cognitive mode of experience and transcend the accident of my moment of being? That I can't lose my self, lose it utterly? What do you mean I can't live without thinking?

The best thing the hunger games ever did both bookwise and cinematically was play “Keep on the sunny side” as Coriolanus Snow shoots a woman to death while Spruce shoots another guy to death as Lucy Gray is wailing and Sejanus is having a panic attack

why did no one actually warn me how sad a little life will get

miss "it wont make me cry" was WRONG bcs tell me why i was sobbing on a bus yesterday while reading

What do you do in situations where you’re in the wrong and repentance isn’t enough

I kill my self to make everyone feel guilty

What’s hilarious but also kinda sad is scrolling through the secret history tag and seeing all the aesthetic moodboards and all that because the literal point of the book was warning against that.

Richard literally said his fatal flaw was ‘a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs’.

The whole point of the book (well, one of them) is to tell you about the dangers of ignoring things right in front of your eyes and instead only focusing on the ‘picturesque’, on the side that fits with the aesthetic you’ve assigned to certain people, or situations, or books, and not seeing the larger picture.

And this is exactly what people are doing to the book (not that i don’t love the moodboards), focusing on the aesthetic and vibes of it rather than the underlying messages and the events that occur, ignoring the warning signs because they ruin the way you see things.

Conversational Russian scene word for word

if finnick odair was a mitski song he’d definitely be last words of a shooting star, just because of that last verse and the title of the song. he *was* the capitol’s golden boy, their shooting star

i love assigning songs to my favorite characters
