Because to Snow, Lucy Gray is an ideal. She's a picture perfectly representing what Snow should have had, what he deserved. And that's what still haunting him. The thought that the same picture may be forever unattainable.
But to Haymitch, Lenore Dove is everything. She is his age, and she grows and morphs as he grows and morphs. She is his other half. She's not a picture, no, she's a book that keeps growing.
To Snow, Lucy Gray is forever the same 16-year-old girl who ~betrayed~ him, and she haunts him accordingly. But Lenore Dove ages and grows gray alongside Haymitch, like she’s walking next to him through the years instead of lying in her grave. If you even care.
i say we just call them geese
y’all haffie shippers are working overtime to try to make it seem cannon after sotr
everyone should talk about how derange Lenore Dove is
girl is 16 and she already been arrested twice. and when she got questioned she wrote a SEVEN PAGE DOCUMENT about if would die give all of her things to her geese for her alibi.
She literally talked about breaking into the Donners home to get back pin her uncle made for Masyilee. Haymitch and Burdock had to stop her for actually doing it!!
My girl is so chaotic and i love her for it
sotr is my favorite book because it's so fun/interesting to see how everything connects together. like snow being highkey offended at lenore dove's name, katniss's parents making a cameo, etc. "oh he knows that because of lucy gray!" "oh everdeen?" "oh my god katniss's mom actually has a personality." plus there are so many lore drops, haymitch yaps so much, we get a lot more information about d12 in the first three chapters than in the main trilogy.
oh also did i mention the lgbtq rep, and that maysilee, louella, wyatt, and lenore dove are all icons? i need to get geese now.
