2. Just A Bit Of Foreshadowing

the line in the ballad of songbirds and snakes about it being “too early for katniss”…. and lucy gray leaving snow to go search for katniss….and the bow and arrows being the only untouched weapon in the bloodbath during the games….. i love symbolism

7. Some Similarities Between Katniss And Lucy

was thinking and the way lucy gray was known by the capitol partially for her snakes, only to have them sent after her in the arena, directly parallels the girl in fire getting hit by a fireball/ running from the forest fire pic.twitter.com/bMHWrnGZGD

when lucy gray introduced snow to mockingjays and the call of the mockingjay became a revolutionary symbol like he literally never got away from the sound of the woman that loves him. shes the stevie nicks of panem

10. Same Scene, Different Movies

If I had a nickel for every time a franchise prequel featured a scene where the future villain discussed his fascist politics with his liberal girlfriend in a meadow, I’d have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. #TheBalladOfSongbirdsandSnakes pic.twitter.com/DnkwtxK8hJ

11. We’ve Seen Tigris Before

12. A Mystery That’ll Never Be Solved

i love that lucy gray said "besides me" when coriolanus said "no more loose ends", the fact that he never finds her body or blood after shooting at her makes him go insane at the fact that there is a loose end around. and he never finds it

13. Unleashing Chaos In The Capitol

mild #tbosas spoiler: when the capitol citizens gasped and all stood up in outrage at the flag being ripped down when none of them were phased by the children dying…. this film sees the world as it is. https://t.co/e52TegaSBv

14. Before Katniss, There Was Lucy

"i think i'll go dig up some katniss, since we got the fire going anyway" being one of lucy gray's final lines to coriolanus snow in ballad of songbirds and snakes is a GENIUS choice #thehungergames pic.twitter.com/E4GBwhuwHx

15. Forever Afraid Of Volumnia

Viola Davis gave such an incredible performance in The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. She stole every scene possible. Her portrayal as the sinister gamemaker Volumnia Gaul was frightening. Oscar nomination worthy. #TheHungerGames pic.twitter.com/L5fqoXUAQi

16. Analyzing Why Snow Did What He Did

// hunger games spoilers

snow told katniss "it's the things we love most that destroy us" because to him, love is a weakness & he got rid of all the people who loved him (sejanus, tigris, lucy gray) so they could never be used as leverage against his rise to power i this essay- pic.twitter.com/d2LoujUZ0j

18. All Around Stellar Casting Choices

Hunter Schafer & Tom Blyth as Tigris and Snow has to be one of the best castings… so spot on pic.twitter.com/qUKS2AYdga

19. The Irony Of It All

i can't stop thinking about how lucy gray (the songbird) is shown to have an insane amount of control over snakes of all types but coriolanus (the snake) spends his entire life failing to ever control a single songbird, whether it be animal or human
