My friend ( @ihavenoideawhyiamhere ) and I were discussing the capitol names and caught this.

Coriolanus was the name of an emperor, whose mother’s name was Volumnia in Shakespeare’s play

Whose first name is Volumnia in the book?

Nono, it’s not Coriolanus Snow’s mother’s name.

The character is VOLUMNIA GAUL!!!!!!

Tom Blyth (27) as Coriolanus Snow (18)

Rachel Zegler(21)as Lucy Gray Baird (16)

Josh Andrés Rivera (27) as Sejanus Plinth (18)

Ashley Liao (20) as Clemensia Dovecote (18)

Aamer Husain (24) as Felix Ravinstill (18)

Jerome Lance (21) as Marcus (18)

Knox Gibson (14) as Bobbin (12-18)

Mackenzie Lansing (23) as Coral (12-18)

may-grant:

okay the ballad of songbirds and snakes spoilers:

1. i just KNEW sejanus wasnt gonna make it from the minute we met him based on how we already know what the capitol does to people it deems are rebels which he clearly was… but it still hurted tho

2. the whole time that dr. gaul was trying to “teach” snow why they do the hunger games i was waiting for him to talk about providing “hope” to the districts since that was what he talked to katniss about and i thought is what he used to justify the games

3. i ~like the theory that maude ivory is katniss’s grandma but i feel like if she was she def would have known who lucy gray baird was and that she was the victor of the 10th hunger games but maybe thats just me

overall 13/10 book and while not a super action based read it was still one of the best books ive ever read

okay but maude ivory could’ve decided to never utter lucy gray’s name to her descendants because she remembered lucy gray and the peacemaker who followed her to district 12. she could’ve connected lucy gray’s disappearance to snow’s gradual rise in power. she remembered how lucy gray’s name was called at the reaping because the mayor held a grudge against her. imagine if her children ran around talking about a girl the capitol swore to forget about. it would’ve been considered an act of rebellion and a sure way to get her family killed. if she is katniss’ grandmother she could’ve made sure nobody remembered lucy gray but allowed her music to live on as her legacy

Finally starting to read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and I’m already getting emotionally attached to Coriolanus and Lucy Gray and Sejanus Why do I have a feeling this is not going to end well for any of them
