If it wasn't for fucking exams. I'd be in that theater first show watching TBOSAS.
In the end "Snow lands on top" a rant
I just finished the book, and people are right, you actively find yourself rooting for Snow, for a split second you completely forget who he is, who he is to become. You want him to be a good person, the moment I knew his humanity was faltering was when he killed Mayfair and Billy Taupe. He excused it as protecting Sejanus and Lucy Gray, but at the root of it, Coriolanus Snow is a product of Capitol brainwashing and taught to dehumanize the people of the districts.
He's so complex and fucked up and sociopathic and Olivia's song is a perfect encapsulation of Lucy Gray, AND Sejanus Plinth haunting him for the rest of his life. Snow can pretend and poison and erase the memory of them but people with unfinished business tend to come back to finish it.
I had refused to read the last chapter holding it off, cause I already saw the mental change in Snow's character, I was invested but I knew my heart will be broken. Because we only ever knew her through Snow's lens; Lucy Gray Baird's fate forever a mystery, just like her life.
Thank you for reading this mini rant, I'll probably rant again after a while.
Because to Snow, Lucy Gray is an ideal. She's a picture perfectly representing what Snow should have had, what he deserved. And that's what still haunting him. The thought that the same picture may be forever unattainable.
But to Haymitch, Lenore Dove is everything. She is his age, and she grows and morphs as he grows and morphs. She is his other half. She's not a picture, no, she's a book that keeps growing.
To Snow, Lucy Gray is forever the same 16-year-old girl who ~betrayed~ him, and she haunts him accordingly. But Lenore Dove ages and grows gray alongside Haymitch, like she’s walking next to him through the years instead of lying in her grave. If you even care.
“You look like you shouldn’t be here.”

Do I think sejanus had a crush on coryo?
Yes.
Did coriolanus feel the same way or ever could feel the same way?
Absolutely not.
Because sejanus was too 'weak' and codependent on others for coriolanus.
He felt love for one person only, and because that person was just as much of a snake as he was.
Lucy gray is also a snake, just like Coriolanus, that's why their dynamic is so interesting. And from the book we see coryo's fascination with the more violent version of Lucy Gray.
He fell in love with her because she matched his madness, in her own way.
Sejanus could never do that. The books showed at their very first interaction that snow only ever tolerates sejanus, he doesn't think of him as equal or someone that should have his respect, no, the only reason for him to tolerate Sejanus is because its convenient for the situation he's in.
Sejanus was not a snake and would/could never be, and while he knew Coriolanus on a surface level, he wouldn't understand him in a way Lucy gray had.
making Sejanus and Coriolanus potential lovers makes no sense because Sejanus never would've molded himself into someone as venomous as him or Lucy gray
Anyway happy new year 🤪🤪🤪
