lucy gray baird's philosophy

I want to "yes, and" this great meta post by @burst-of-iridescent. Specifically this part:

by the end of the book, coriolanus gives in fully to dr gaul’s way of thinking simply because it excuses him from accepting blame for his actions. if he killed sejanus, it’s because he had no choice. if he betrayed lucy gray, it’s because she would’ve betrayed him first. coriolanus refuses to believe in the goodness of humanity because that would have meant accepting the goodness that existed within him, and with that came the potential for making a different, better choice - potential that he knew, deep down, he had wasted. attributing his crimes to an innate evil that no one can overcome means that he can’t be held accountable, because it’s out of his control.

This got me thinking about how much Lucy Gray's worldview rejects of this way of thinking (and of a Calvinist*/ableist "some people are just born evil" pov people try to impose on the text, which people think is condemning him but actually... accidentally agrees with him that he was born evil and therefore can't help it??????). The book begins with several quotes chosen by the author, but I believe the one that represents Lucy Gray's worldview is Rousseau, who believed people were born with fundamental goodness.

Here's a source on him:

(Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

And here's the quote Collins opens with:

“Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.” — Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract, 1762

That's Lucy Gray's pov she's come to through living and reflecting as an artist; someone can disagree with it (of course, all of these questions are open for endless debate; they have been debated endlessly!) however, it's important to respect that is where she's coming from, not being foolish or naive. It is a worthy pov that should be respected, even if you disagree. And that she came to this pov through a hard life and from much thinking and she expresses it beautifully in her art.

Here's the key exchange from the book, after Coriolanus has taken on the idea that people are just awful and her articulating her philosophy in response:

(Ballad, 495)

She's not naive. She recognizes the nuance that Rousseau does, that society shapes us. And Panem is pretty clearly a society led by people applying all the pressures they can think of on people toward evil. (And, after his heel turn, Coriolanus' is going to innovate some new pressures...) Clearly there are situations and circumstances that form us before we have much say in it, but that's not the same as being born evil.

The difference between inherent goodness and a corrupt society is, for Lucy Gray, a lot of hard work. It's a struggle. This repudiates both the version of "born evil" Coriolanus himself takes on, which relieves him of responsibility, and the self-righteous, Calvinist and/or ableist pov people keep arguing for, which makes "normal" people feel like they can be sure they're good (and ignore how we are all complicit in evil to some degree or another) because they have a "good" normal brain or they were just born so pure as a soul predestined for heaven. No, for her, everyone has to do the work. To her it's everyone's "life's challenge to try and stay on the right side of that line."

Even more pointedly, the love song she wrote him before his betrayal, "Pure as the Driven Snow," articulates her philosophy in the opening lines:

(Ballad, 481)

Again, we have her personal focus on the work of "staying on the right side" of good and evil after being born good into evil circumstances. She knows it hurts; she's led a hard life herself. "It's rough as a bair" to do that work, it's "like walkin' through fire." But it is doable.

Lucy Gray meant it as a love song but IMO "Pure as the Driven Snow" ends up a lament for the boy Coriolanus was and her love that he betrayed when he betrayed himself. And it is a direct rejection of his excuses, it is inadvertently reading him for filth for the lies he tells himself that all the world is the Games arena, all people are selfish and bad, and he isn't to blame for what he's done because he just wants to come out on top/be the victor of this "natural" "war of all against all" that is Gaul's philosophy (related to the Hobbes quote Collins begins with; I wrote a meta on that here) that he adopts.

I see her demeaned as a foolish girl who just "like bad boys" and I get so frustrated. I also get frustrated by the view that she must not have ever been sincere in loving or trusting him because IF SHE WAS then she would be a fool and his betrayal would somehow be her fault. And she'd reject the idea that she's "good" just because she's so pure or that anyone can claim we're good without doing a lot of hard work.

(Ballad, 482)

She is so thoughtful and interesting as a character. And she didn't just "like bad boys" - Coriolanus showed only his good side to her until the very end, once he'd decided to kill that part of himself. She had no way of knowing. Sometimes you trust someone and they betray you, it doesn't make you wrong, the shame is all theirs.

*Strict Calvinist predestination is some people are just predetermined to be bound for heaven and some for hell, some people are just born good and others are born bad. A lot of people in fandom seem to love Calvinism idk why. The ableism bit of this should be self-evident: there is no such thing as a "bad" brain type completely incapable of morality or a "good" brain and neurodivergence is not the source of all evil!

#lucy gray baird #thg meta #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #disagree with her if you want - but respect that her pov is philosophically sound and insightful #and i prefer the reading of the text where she's right and gaul and post heel turn coriolanus are wrong...#he could have kept trying to be good and loving for that girl #people dismissing her or being like 'she was constantly lying like a GIRLBOSS' is just so annoying - she's great as herself thank you #reject the idea that women are to blame for bad things people do #reject the idea that women are to blame for loving #that it must have been her fault somehow

You've been filled with anger ever since you can remember. The world is unfair and everyone has an advantage over you. You have to succeed, have to come out on top. Whatever it takes.

You have a party, one you've named yourself, but you're not really friends. Except for one person, your only true friend, none of them would stand by you through thick and thin. But it doesn't matter, they're just means to an end.

You are presented with an opportunity. A way to channel your rage and to make everyone who's ever wronged you regret it. You take it eagerly.

Your party will come with you. They'll have to, anyway. They're presented with a choice. They all choose correctly, like you knew they would.

Now is the time for your one true friend. You've even prepared all the paperwork for her already, to make it easier. It's just the one last step to take before you come out on top, glorious. You can't wait.

You kill your only true friend.

She is presented with a choice.

She doesn't come back.

#kipperlilly copperkettle #lucy frostblade #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #dimension 20 #this is probably wildly inaccurate to canon but i can't stop thinking about it #you kill your friend thinking she'll come back but instead she makes the choice that means she cannot be brought back even if you try #you commit the greatest transgression you can because you're so sure it will work just the way it should and now the only person who cared-#for you is gone forever #it was a choice you made. you didn't mean to kill her permanently. she was supposed to come back. but you're the one to blame all the same #and you're still filled with so much rage.#the rat grinders

Oh but the amazing multi-talented tall blonde with a dead brother also has my heart

#kate whistler #karen page #ncis hawai'i #ncis hawaii #daredevil #the punisher #and they also share the argument that not everything is black and white #Kate's done a cyber course in the summer #and knows like half of the world #People often forget Karen can draw pretty well #and it changed from paralegal to journalist to PI in like 3 seasons #I had to do this one because of the Lucy and Frank comparison #if you've read either kastle or kacy fanfiction you probably know the “legs for miles” thing #don't blame Frank or Lucy for having the same type

One of my most favourite things to do on occasion is check in, and scroll through the bookmarks people have made on this fic. Some of them are just so funny to read, and I am of the personal opinion that the shir people will write in bookmarks does NOT get enough attention. So, here are some of my favourite that I’ve seen thus far:

So fair honestly

What does this even mean?

This one’s just sweet. I try my best to write angst in the angsty way. Glad they appreciate it!

This person just wrote a whole ass essay and I applaud them for it! It actually had me grinning so much (tho I have no idea what ‘Reactions Elsewhere’ means?)

I just checked back on this one recently, only to discover they had gone completely feral XD

Yes, duckling me too! You are just as depraved as me!

And this person… honestly I’m just worried about this person. Like, all they have tagged for this fic is huskerdust, and there isn’t even all that MUCH, it’s just casually in the background sometimes. Like… I worry you didn’t know what they were getting themselves into XD

-

Anyways, yeah, thank you all so much! I appreciate every bit of support you all show! Whether it’s through following this tumblr, commenting, leaving kudos, subscribing, bookmarking, ANYTHING. It all just absolutely blows me away. You are all the best.

Take care of yourselves, and here’s a parting Lucifer to take on your travels:

#I'm a bit late but :)#Mmmhh lots of thoughts about this episode. Nothing really relevant though lol #I like it... Mostly. Well‚ I like Atsushi‚ and I like Atsushi screentime.#I always forget that there's actually a one week timeskip within the Guild arc #I think these chapters were generally better executed in the manga.#But even then it's just...#Why do the make the Guild / Fitzgerald so. dumb. Why do they make them act so wildly irrationally and at the protagonists' advantage #It really gives villain acting entirely mindlessly to make the plot advance and the heroes win. It's really sensless.#I mean especially when Atsushi yielded. Why didn't Fitzgerald take his offer. For real!!#For real. He had NOTHING to gain from proceeding with his plan. He already obtained for Atsushi and the ada to collaborate.#Now they are NEVER going to help him‚ and that's agreat loss for him.#And idk. i hear that little Tumblr post in my voice saying “why would you complain about characters acting irrationally!#Do people irl never act irrationally?”#And yeah I get Fitzgerald was frustrated for losing Mitchell and his fight with Hawthorne. Okay I understand.#But that's definitely too much. That's him acting downright stupid at the heroes' advantage and it's just pretty underwhelming to read?#That said. It's just general notes I'm not particularly annoyed because like. That's just b/s/d to you. Dumbing down the villains a second–#so the author can escape the trap they put themselves into. Very Marvel-esque move lol.#On that exact same note WHY WOULD LUCY HAVE THE DOLL.#The doll is the whole premise for your plan working why would you not protect it with everything 😭😭😭#I'm not getting in the Lucy / Atsushi scene itself. I love Lucy but I swear every time that scene gets played a femminist dies #(it's me. I'm the femminist dying every time.)#Mmmhh a couple more things. I dislike the ost choice in the scene where Steinbeck is torturing Q it feels so out of place #And I really don't get what's the deal with the Hawthorne / Fitzgerald convo it's so confusing to me. Like it It looks like Hawtorne is–#blaming Fitzgerald for Mitchell's condition (both in health and for her family status) but...#Objectively neither of those things are Fitzgerald's fault? Idk maybe I just have very little media comprehension for this arc because–#a lot of things just seem to happen with no sense. But it's okay #Im complaining a lot lol but its mostly irrelevant things (or like with the dumbification of villains things I've learnt to live with lmao)#But the episode was generally nice. The animation this season is consistently very pretty.#random rambles

First of all, I would love if in the show we saw Holly wearing Lockwoods grey jumper instead of and a random old one that we havnt seen before, it would be so impactful visually, but I also want to mention how much this detail does for Lockwoods character.

Most people, but especially teenage boys would too be embarrassed to lend a girl a jumper because of the romantic connotations it's gained through its use to symbolise couples in teen movies. (Jocks give their Girlfriends their football jumpers etc. etc.)

In contrast to this trope, Lockwood is a good caring friend (and employer) to Holly so he doesn't feel strange looking after her and making sure she's well equipped for the case their about to go on, even if that means doing something that's associated with couples.

I've never seen this before, certainly not in a book aimed at teens, and was amazed at how much it impressed me. Such a good representation of men and women (again, especially teenage ones) having caring and platonic relationships, it's such a small detail but for some reason it's made me like both Holly and Lockwoods character way more, as they don't act like it's strange or out of place for them to share things and be kind to one another.

#lockwood and co #lockwood & co #holly munro #anthony lockwood #l&coaw2023 #l&co #l&co. netflix #you cant blame lucy for being suprised #its such a common trait in films #and it would easily make you jealous but that only goes to show how stupid it is as a concept #i love subtle development #jonathan stroud #thank you
