Something that’s so important to me not only in sotr but all of thg is just the importance of art. How songs and poetry carry decades of fighting for freedom despite time’s erasure.
The artists behind them may have faded a hundred years ago, what they left behind still remains and inspire people they will never meet.
Art not only creates a bond through time but it conveys the voices of thousands of silenced that carried them to the present. It’s the only way of expression left for the oppressed, the only way to leave a mark.
The pin of Maysilee. The clothes of Cinna. The paintings of Peeta. The music of the Covey.
And it’s why the capitol wants to repress it so much. Because creating is power. And if the songs Lucy Gray wrote may go unnoticed for many, they will not be forgotten and they will come back stronger. Art is memory. Art is rebellion. Art is political. Art is freedom
Arts by Coats & Revolvers
"will we still be twins?"
that line is devastating, even though maysilee hated the whole twin thing; wearing the same clothes, the same hairstyle…
suzanne, I'm in your walls 🥰
The heavy world's upon your shoulders, will we burn on or just smolder? Somehow, I know I'll find you there. Oh, you wanna see if you can change it (change it), still, I know I'll see you there.
↑ I put this verse but they all work, somehow (i wanted to do an even longer drawing at the beginning, sheesh).
Linking music with content is my absolute favorite thing to do. I did it with aftg, and also for trc with this post (muse!!) and obviously the animatic, which happens to have turned 1 year old very recently (happy birthday).
Anyway, I'll do a trc reread soon, last time was two years ago (!!), i've read extracts since but it won't do for much longer.
THIS. IS. PERFECT!
Okay I just needed to get this out, and I REALLY dont wanna bash anyone but. it's so much fun coming up with songs that would fit the Grishaverse show and potentially be in the soundtrack, but I kinda just want a score? Like, I want the music in the show to be less Riverdale and more Game of Thrones if that makes any sense? Am I alone?
Anon I feel you 100%
Like yes I would love toxic in the background of Kaz’s fight scene but I feel like that would be better as a legendary fan edit rather than the actual show?
But I would also be down if it does what reign did sometimes and have instrumental versions of modern songs somewhere in the background so it fits the aesthetic but we still recognize it somewhat.
AND YES I NEED A SCORE CAN YOU IMAGINE. We’d get titles like:
Kaz’s Theme
Scheming Face
30 Million Kruge
The Heartrender
(Also a kanej theme that’s somehow a mix of both their individual themes pls)
(Also if somehow all the main six’s individual themes somehow fit together into a majestic SYMPHONY when they’re together and heisting) (and it sounds off at the end of crooked kingdom bc Matthias is gone)
appreciation of death note's official art: gothic influence, biblical / religious imagery, intricate backgrounds, abstract but thoughtful compositions, influence of vkei, gothic lolita and other alternative fashions, dramatic - reminds me of classical baroque paintings, death imagery (obviously).
for a story centered around abstract mental battles, it was remarkable how the artist anchored it in a tangible, recognizable aesthetic, giving it a sense of materiality
rip maysilee donner you would have loved johanna mason
going insane about haymitch the rebellion’s sacrificial lamb. they saw a kid honor the dead and make a mockery of snow in a public setting and knew he’d earned himself a death sentence. so they recruit him. ask him to do something that will only increase the target on his back. maybe it’s heartless but it’s for the greater good. they can achieve their aims of rebellion and let him make his death mean something in the process. it’s the best they can make of an unbearable situation
but then it doesn’t work. the arena doesn’t break and haymitch doesn’t die and the world and the games go on. and the personal consequences are dire.
fast forward twenty four years and now haymitch is the adult and he’s got the same kind of teenager on his hands and the same heartless choices in his lap. how much do you think it killed him to feed her to the same machine, when he knows intimately exactly how high the cost of failure can be?
the way suzanne saw people romantically shipping haymitch and maysilee for years and said i’ll give you something even better. that’s actually his mean girl sister that he loathed for years and then grew to love like family! easily one of the best dynamics in the series
okay, so I've finished "sunrise on the reaping" and omg
this book kills me. even though I knew the ending, I didn't know how exactly it was going to end. now that's really devastating. haymitch really went through it all.
the book had a couple of slips here and there, but overall, it was good. i loved making connections to the rest of the series. i'm also really invested in this generation now. i'd love to read at least a short story about Katniss's parents. i would also love to read a little bit of the og trilogy from haymitch's and peeta's perspective. the epilogue moved me.
4.75/5
