"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world."

Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Inej: murder isn't the answer!
Jesper: your right
Inej: *sighs in relief*
Jesper, thoughtfully: murder is the question.
Kaz: and the answer is YES
Jesper & Kaz: *high five*
Inej: *facepalm*

In this film, I hope we achieved the expression of how difficult it is to fall in love, of how painful, and how terrifying and scary it is to let yourself fall in love. — Joe Wright during director’s commentary of Pride & Prejudice.

He could put “you” at the end of that, and say “I know you.” The idea that these two people know each other, knew each other when they first saw each other. That they recognized each other from their future. Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright

It’s been said before, but I am all for the idea that, to Snow, Katniss Everdeen was Lucy Gray Baird rising up from the dead to haunt him.

This small, dark-haired Seam girl, making a scene at the reaping. Drawing the Capitol’s attention in the parade, and in the interviews, and with her training score. Haunted by tragic love as she enters the arena. Singing to Rue as she dies, and adorning her body with a rainbow of flowers. Cheating the Games to bring her and Peeta out alive.

And then - unwillingly - figureheading a revolution. Being hailed the mockingjay - the very thing that Snow so hated, that he so passionately wanted destroyed. Refusing to relinquish her own agency, refusing to play the Capitol’s game by its rules. Singing The Hanging Tree, by the lake. Dancing with Prim at Finnick and Annie’s wedding, spinning around the room to folk music.

It must have felt, to Snow, like Lucy Gray (and a little of Sejanus) reincarnated - Lucy Gray, coming to haunt him. Coming to destroy his empire from beyond the grave. Taking her revenge, after all those years.

When I stepped into the fire, my own people thought I was mad. But when the fire burnt out, I was unhurt: the Mother of Dragons. Do you understand? I’m no ordinary woman. My dreams come true.
