The Way You Lead The Characters Is So Natural And Good For The Story - Tumblr Posts
Yes!
I'm so agree with your difference between this two. This way is interesting and not empty. In Plutarch's case, nepotism makes sense and goes well with his character (and not all the guys from the Capitol need it to be who they are!!!). He has knowledge, ability and power! to experiment with this knowledge. I've always wondered what exactly inspired him to create the rebellion. In my opinion, he is the kind of person who can get "bored", and maybe it came from such constancy in his pedigree too. So he likes the idea of putting the whole world on a chessboard and seeing what happens.
And the rebels were lucky that this time he decided to play on the side of the whites.
I can accept most of opinions that Caesar isn't a good person, UNTIL after a worthy arguments ✨the argument✨ comes up and his name is Lucretius Flickerman.
In general, I don't like the idea of characters' kinship, because "hereditary professions" is a very lazy and simple option. Children do not always follow in the footsteps of their parents for various reasons.
It actually surprises me (although no, it was expected) how quickly everyone around decided that L*cretius was none other than Caesar's father. When I read the ballad, I thought if he was an ancestor, then some kind of weird uncle or grandfather that everyone forgot about (because he was quickly removed). So, if he exists in my version, then he is a local tio bruno (but I love bruno, this is different case), at every mention of which Caesar is embarrassed and cringes, so we don't talk about L*cretius us us us.
And when someone says that Caesar got his entire job and position only as an inheritance from his father, it really disturbs me, because this guy literally did not exist 3 years ago. He's like a bonus. Can't take it as something serious and meaningful idk. I have a feeling that Collins didn't plan to write a prequel at all, don't know why she wrote tbosas in this way((( but that's topic for different conversation.
I love funny weird characters and parrots but it's not the case. I wouldn't have any problems with L*cretius character if his last name wasn't Flickerman.
