Sunrise On The Reaping Spoilers (question Mark?)? Mostly Talk About The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes

sunrise on the reaping spoilers (question mark?)? mostly talk about the ballad of songbirds and snakes so

but yeah it’s so funny to me how out of all the songs lucy gray sings that are still known to the remaining covey (“the old therebefore,” “the hanging tree,” “nothing you can take”) and the ones the capitol adored (“the ballad of lucy gray baird”), the song she sings for coriolanus is suspiciously absent from retellings and shows

it’s so hilarious to me that “pure as the driven snow” is the only song that isn’t repeated throughout the books, because its message is no longer relevant or true. lucy gray doesn’t love, trust, or need coriolanus at the end of the ballad of songbirds and snakes, whereas every other song in sunrise on the reaping has a purpose.

burdock sings “the old therebefore” as it’s a covey funeral song.

the covey performed “nothing you can take” and maysilee’s grandmother tells her the lyrics to comfort her.

“the ballad of lucy gray baird” is televised to haymitch to taunt him, and he makes the connection between the song and the only little known district 12 victor.

“the hanging tree” is a song of defiance that ends up in the mockingjay’s life, and is used as a rallying cry for the earliest stages of the rebellion in twelve.

but “pure as the driven snow,” a song of devotion for a man who no longer deserves it, is conspicuously absent from the rest of the timeline after its first and only performance.

Can we let people forget things?

Can we let people forget things? Cause sometimes I have memory like dory and other times I can remember very well- like I remember that despite the fact you’re a beast at maths you actually like the science subjects! But I can never remember what you said you’re favourite colour was or i remember the time I used a Harry Potter dementor pick up line on you and you laughed but I can’t remember the day of your birth but I know you’re a sweet April baby.

you mean the world to me but if I don't remember things off the top of my head it's not that I don't love you, I just don't have a great memory sometimes

“sometimes you’re just hard to love,” you say, looking out into the night sky, with tears in your eyes, an argument pushed you over the edge.

he simply looks at you, despite the breath he was holding, he didn’t want to make your life harder than it was but he couldn’t help it.

“then leave, i’m not stopping you,” his mouth moves faster than his thoughts.

he sees the light leave your eyes as he says that, immediately regretting what he said, swallowing the dry spit in his mouth.

so you do as you’re told, you leave. ‘i’ll apologize in the morning, it’s fine’ your lover thinks to himself. he will never see you again.
