Reading Through The First Book Again, And Came Across An Interesting Parallel To Ballad...

━━━༻❀*̥˚༺━━━

Moodboard for my story on ao3! A post-canon redemption fic 𓏲ִ 𓂃 .🤍

Something struck me as I was reading Catching Fire again...in spite of everything else Snow learned through his experiences in Ballad, I do feel that one positive lesson he learned was that the people in the districts were not actually inferior to him or the rest of the Capitol. Reading this scene, I appreciate how polite he is towards Katniss and her mother.

Of course, he's a charmer by nature (and he was playing it up in this scene, I'm sure) and very much has an "us vs. them" mentality, but Gaul's lesson equalized everyone in his mind. They were all players in the game he considered life to be. He changed the entire way the people of the districts were treated. He humanized them to the Capitol.

Now, in Catching Fire, I'm sure one reason he's being so gracious towards Katniss and her mother is because he wants to stay on good terms and avoid a rebellion, but I also liked how he didn't seem to be flaunting any superiority with them, ruthless though he is.

Beautiful art piece of what could've been 🤍 This is what we crazy Snowbaird shippers live for.

This is totally what happened in canon right? 🤨

please reblog if you like my art it helps a lot! 🫶

This is so relatable.

Katniss thinking this after talking with Snow...the irony. I like to think it was the same lake he and the Covey went to. A peaceful escape both Katniss and Snow shared.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU

When I hold a rose, I see the soft, velvety petals

and smile, because tucked between those precious petals is a special gift - the one of a fragrance, pure and sweet. ❁⋆｡˚ .

❁⋆｡˚ . When you hold a rose, you see the thorns along the stem, and you frown because those thorns can bring you pain and cause you to bleed.

I see the gift.

You see the tragedy.
