i am going to work on writing some oneshots because they're more fun to write than my actual book. so, if you have any requests please send them in!

Lucy gray killed with the power of hydration, hugs and track & field

(Chunked a snake at someone— twice)

What an absolute L E G E N D

My extremely postponed bosbas sketch compilation of LG. This was my interpretation of her appearance from what I noted of her in the book

In the past, I prided myself to stay as canon accurate as I could while adding humor… for this, I really had to fight myself because (at the time) I was seeing a lot of fanart drawing Lucy Gray with a delicate cute face… Meanwhile I was aiming to draw her as if she was going to jump someone, but had a brain not to.

Here’s my depiction of Lucy Gray. Kinda just more curly hair and a ball of chaos on the inside, show woman on the outside. My interpretation of her outward persona was a girl hiding the fact she was pissed and was ready to cast a metaphorical middle finger to the Capital.

Maybe not 100% accurate to me if I’m being honest (I need to reread the book, I’m just bad at reading) but at the same time I’m not wrong. We never TRUELY know what’s going on in her head.

Her whole thing is “She’s an enigma/mystery✨✨” (or maybe Snow just can’t read women). So with that freedom, Imma have fun. Snow deserves to be drawn as ugly as I can, I have that power as an artist.

(Side note: I have a pretty hard time drawing “delicate features” on someone without putting crazy in their eyes. Idk no one is that nice and elegant in my eyes unless they’re wearing a powdered wig and or are named Effey Trinket.)

I was attempting to have this little crazed air to her for Snow to believe she’s a bit weird when they first meet (which is one of my favorite scenes; it makes me laugh to see Coriolanus mentally suffering)

My enterpretation of the scene was she was freaking him out on purpose while putting on a performance for fun (even when she’s scared)

I started working in this in December (I think) and now it’s February… I have my reasons.

You’re as pure as the driven, snow...

Some sketches of my current obsession, I love to draw them !! (I almost finish the book which is incredible)

Hey there, movie enthusiasts! Settle in because on November 17, 2023, “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” graced the screens, treating fans to a captivating journey into the dark and enthralling world of Panem. Under the skillful direction of Francis Lawrence and based on Suzanne Collins’ prequel novel, the film promised to unveil the mysteries of the Hunger Games’ origins, unfolding a tale set 64 years before Katniss Everdeen’s iconic arrival to the arena.

A Glimpse into Panem’s Past: Coriolanus Snow’s Tale Unfolds

Now, let’s dive into Panem’s past with the main man himself, young Coriolanus Snow, played by Tom Blyth. He’s navigating the tricky terrain of the 10th Annual Hunger Games, once a part of the fallen Snow family. Now, he’s unexpectedly thrown into the role of mentor for Lucy Gray Baird, played by Rachel Zegler, a tribute from the struggling District 12. The film explores Snow’s moral struggles, tangled relationships, and his surprising journey from privilege to the edge of power.

Star-Studded Ensemble: A Stellar Cast Graces the Screen

And can we talk about the cast? A bunch of stars that had us counting down the days! Viola Davis, Peter Dinklage, and Jason Schwartzman brought their A-game. Davis rocked as Dr. Volumnia Gaul, the mastermind Gamemaker with a seriously sinister imagination. Dinklage was the brains behind the Hunger Games as Casca Highbottom, and Schwartzman added humor and charisma as Lucretius “Lucky” Flickerman, a distant relative of the original trilogy’s charming host.

Beyond Survival: Privilege, Exploitation, and Power Unveiled

Now, “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” wasn’t your typical survival thriller. It went beyond the previous Hunger Games entries, digging into deeper topics — privilege, exploitation, and power. All of this unfolds in a condemned amphitheater where the lives of tributes hang in the balance. Coriolanus’ moral tug-of-war and his intricate bond with Lucy Gray Baird promised a storyline packed with unexpected twists, giving us a fresh take on Capitol society.

With a mix of new faces and familiar elements from the Hunger Games universe, the film hit the sweet spot. This movie works as a great expansion of the world created by Suzanne Collins. As we got lost in the roots of Panem’s most infamous tradition, “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” is set to make a lasting mark on the Hunger Games legacy. It was a thrilling and thought-provoking joyride, inviting us to revisit the dystopian universe that first captured our hearts and witness the rise of a young Coriolanus Snow. Fingers crossed the odds stay forever in our favor!

You can’t take my humor.

You can’t take my wealth,

‘Cause it’s just a rumor.

Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping.”

I tried to draw Lucy Gray from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. This particular moment is supposed to be at the reaping.
