El canto del pajaro - Chapter 1 - FlaStar13 - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]
Hello everyone, this is my first ballad of songbirds and snakes fanfic. It's an au, in which Lucy Gray's harvest song is uploaded to a Spotify-like platform and becomes a rage, to the point where Coriolanus is forced to bring it to the Capitol. I hope you like it, it is in Spanish my language.
❤️🌹Snowbaird Wedding Dress 🐍❤️🌹🐦⬛
Remembering that Katniss' wedding dress in the movie is based on designer Tex Saverio, I saw some of his designs when I noticed this dress. It is coded as the wedding dress from the Snowbaird wedding at the Capitol. Lucy Gray would have preferred her mother's dress, but she is in District 12 and Coriolanus wants to show off how rich and powerful they are, so he ordered Tigris to design it.
I have headcanon that in both the movie and the book, he chose Katniss' wedding dress, because this man is a frustrated wedding planner.
Just look at the roses on the skirt, they scream Lucy Gray Snow!
*throws book accurate Haymitch at you* whoops
Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
no Katniss this literally is what you should have said
Peeta “notoriously hates being left out of the loop” Mellark would not have minded
More of a whole fandom thing, less of a ship thing, but here's what I've got for one line to tell you what it is:
"real or not real?" "real."
"where did you get that magnet, Lily?"
"You'll get married, Jo. (...) And I'll watch."
"What if they say, 'get outta here, kid! you got no future!' I mean, I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection!"
"Of all the gin joints in the world, she walks into mine."
"The game is on."
"I wish I had a million dollars. Hot dog!"
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
"A word which here means..."
"inconceivable!"
"Comparing my intellect to a broken cigarette lighter...that's an interesting mix of poetry and meaness."
"I don't want diamond sunbursts or marble halls. I just want you."
"Stay with me." "Always."
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli."
"Get me a glass of milk! Chocolate!"
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
"Can you hear it? Can you hear the ticking or the clocks, Goncharov?"
I was actually using this to explain to my sister how the love triangle was a metaphor about how Katniss will move on from everything, the generational trauma, the trauma from her sister's death, and the hunger games, and the people she has loved. And how she has to choose between letting it consume her and keep fighting everything, or to choose to grow and heal.
How Gale leaves, chooses a job different from his home district, he was always a hunter, he wanted to kill district 2 in retaliation for 12's treatment. But Peeta was always a baker, becomes a painter, creates things doesn't destroy, returns home and starts rebuilding, shows Katniss love all throughout the games despite the violent nature of the games, he's against the Final Games using kids of the rich and powerful.
I could go on and on about this, but just the way Gale is so filled with anger and physically fights for so much, but Peeta's rebellion has always been telling Katniss about the bombing on TV, announcing the baby in an interview, painting Rue. Peeta's rebellion was one of choosing kindness and not allowing himself to be forced into hate and tearing things down.
Something that I will never get over and still tear up thinking about is Peeta’s return in the end of the series and he’s planting flowers for Prim… in a post war, destructed, ugly and tarnished district 12 his first thought was to plant flowers
Watching HG Catching Fire: maybe it's just me, but it feels so rushed and forced.
And why is the convo between Peeta, Katniss, and Haymitch (after the victory stop in district 11) so so rushed? Like there is so much content in the book, and if I hadn't read it I would have no idea what was going on.
And why is Kat always seeing little bits of what's going on through cracks in the doorway?? Why do people leave the doors open a little bit??
I loved the books but man oh man I will nitpick these movies.

The fact that they removed the older peacekeepers I'm D12, the ones that are there when Gale is getting beaten, and they're like, yeah no you've whipped him a lot. And those people were just cut out??
And Gale is conscious for like, all of it??
And Katniss' cuts are so mild?? And she doesn't get sent away to her room??
Also I hate the nickname Katnip so so much it's horrid.

Prim's Old Soul Wisdom TM is actually annoying to me. I don't really like her, cause she's so stilted.
"You could live a hundred lifetimes, and never deserve that boy." Gets me every time.
Every time I see gale, I feel like puking. How was anyone ever Team Gale??
Effie is incredible. The fact that she seems totally aloof and stupid, but is actually so in tune with everything but covers it all up and pretends not to notice. Like what happened to her to make her this way ??

All of the training in D12 got cut out??
And so much time with her styling team got cut out ugh
It was an absolute crime that THG were made into movies not a TV series.
The whole movie is so scene after scene, no transition. There is so little flow, it's all disjointed.
It doesn't make sense for peeta to be walking out just as Kat walks in for individual assessment?? And the painting is covered and she uncovers it in the books.

It's so hard to get into Taylor Swift's Eras tour, how hard would it be to be an audience member at the Victor interviews??
The fact that after Johanna GOES OFF (as she should) Caeser says "well thats one woman's opinion" as if he can downplay something like that.
"Snow made me wear it" actually makes sense in the books. The movie totally ignores all of the wedding dress stuff.
The wings on the dress don't make practical sense.

If the quarter quell had been canceled for the baby, then Katniss would have had to actually get pregnant so she could keep up the show and not have to go into the games.

"Look up at the sky, look at all those colors" lies, Peeta. Bull. That was the boringest sunrise. It's all gray. The woman was dying and you lied??
Like I'm joking but like. It's CGI. They could do better than that.

Am I maybe watching an edited version of the movie or smth?? It doesn't mention the food deliveries??
Not Gale sitting by her side, watching her sleep I hate that and that dreadful nickname

Watching THG: The Mockingjay pt. 1
Finnick breaks my heart.
Why are the buildings in D12 still smoldering?? It was bombed when Kat ended the games, and then she's asleep for days and has time to get more or less settled at D13, enough that they know they have to cart her back to bed most nights, so why is the district still smoldering??
If someone could remind me what the deal is with the white roses, that'd be great. I know they're Snow's signature, but the powdery stuff??
I don't think prim realizes this, but if you can't sleep that does not mean you want your little sister to sleep in your bed. Also I'm not a fan of her Aged By The War Wisdom TM.
I also hate the nickname Little Duck.
It's fascinating to see the capitol's side as they plan to bomb the injured. The fact that they would sink so low as to kill the dying. Like, that's not gonna win the war, it just makes a statement.
Gale comes into her room saying he's got good news, and you know Kat is hoping for Peeta to come back, but Gale's like We can go hunting now 👍👍
Gale makin moves is so icky. Make him stop. Not him being lowkey manipulative with his "I knew you'd do that, cause I'm in pain. But don't worry it'll pass." Shut up
Love Peeta
Aww Finnick
How is Kat's hair so clean??
Why is her hair always in her mouth?
Maybe this is just my memory, but in the books, finnick's propo is for information purposes, in the movies its to jam signals and break Annie, Johanna, and Peeta out.
The way Coin manipulates everything in her speech.
If I were watching as the movies came out, I would freak out at the end.
