Right here in the old therebefore

You’re headed for heaven,
The sweet old hereafter,
And I’ve got one foot in the door.
But before I can fly up,
I’ve loose ends to tie up,
Right here in
The old therebefore.

I’ll be along
When I’ve finished my song,
When I’ve shut down the band,
When I’ve played out my hand,
When I’ve paid all my debts,
When I have no regrets,
Right here in
The old therebefore,
When nothing
Is left anymore.

Next week Chinese New Year will begin, and it will be the Year of the Snake, so I thought it’s time to make a snake scene. And what snake scene could be better than a tribute to Lucy Gray Baird from "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes"?

In the movie this is a very powerful scene, in which Lucy, a tribute from District 12 for the 10th Hunger Games, who is not a hunter like Katniss, but a singer, is singing "The Old Therebefore" to calm down the genetically modified snakes, which already killed four other tributes (two in the book) and swarmed towards her. Did a song really prevent them from attacking? Well, I can’t tell, because it’s a very big spoiler, but it’s much more complicated than just that!

Lucy is a very interesting character, and I really like the film (I have a book, but didn’t read it yet) so I was considering to make her a tribute with a different scene (not with Snow!), but this one is better. Fun fact: she wrote "The Hanging Tree", the song which became the rebel’s anthem after Katniss sang it for a propaganda spot (and I did a tribute for the song here). So, Lucy and her mockingjays could never harm you again, eh, Snow? xD

Since there are no yellow dresses with flowers pattern in Lego, I have to digitally change the colors on Anna’s dress from "Frozen", cause it’s the only pattern that very remotely reminds me of the pattern on Lucy’s corset. Some windows on the Arena have glass, some don’t (there’s a reason for this, but it’s also a spoiler), just like in the film, though in the picture they all ended up looking the same.

You can watch the full scene here:
