one underrated detail of TBOSAS is that Snow decides to marry Livia Cardew, but in Mockingjay Plutarch’s assistant is named Fulvia Cardew. So did she just never think to mention that her probably uncle was the president 😭

So the reason that the Snows don’t have any money is because all their assets were in district 13, which at this point Snow thinks was destroyed. So now I need to know what his reaction was when he became president and found out what really happened in 13 bc I know that crash out was LEGENDARY

It’s really interesting to me how almost common it seems that the capitol citizens turned to cannibalism when they started going hungry, but the districts have been consistently starving for years, so much so that dying of starvation is a normal end there, but we never hear of cannibalism in the districts. And yet capitol propaganda paints THEM as the “savages.”

In 2 chapters Snow has complained more than Katniss did across three books where her life is regularly threatened
