[@dancarr820]

@@youremyfavoritesong9868 she is definitely not a main character in the book. She is a supporting character not mc. Maybe in the movie she might be a mc but in the book there is one mc

@@dancarr820a main character doesnt mean the pov character, peeta is also a main character in the originals, as well as haymitch and gale and prim, so lucy fits that description

@@Mossfinch I would argue, Gale and Prim are side characters for the first book and movie, (and maybe the second) at least, as they has around 20 minutes of screen time, in total.

[@gabrielavillegas1557]

Make sure nobody sees you leave Hood over your head Keep your eyes down Tell your friends you're out for a run You'll be flushed when you return Take the road less traveled by Tell yourself you can always stop What started in beautiful rooms Ends with meetings in parking lots And that's the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings And longing stares It's born from just one single glance But it dies, and it dies, and it dies A million little times Leave the perfume on the shelf That you picked out just for him So you leave no trace behind Like you don't even exist Take the words for what they are A dwindling, mercurial high A drug that only worked The first few hundred times And that's the thing about illicit affairs And clandestine meetings And stolen stares They show their truth one single time But they lie, and they lie, and they lie A billion little times And you wanna scream Don't call me kid Don't call me baby Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else Don't call me kid Don't call me baby Look at this idiotic fool that you made me You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else Oh, and it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone I was there when you said forever and always You didn't mean it And you know damn well For you I would ruin myself ... a million little times

[@theoriginal4ever7]

Dudeeee I'm dying for your screen debut in West Side Story. Your voice is so amazing, and so versatile. Like, you can absolutely SLAY both Taylor Swifts songs and Nataile Wood's songs... Natalie Wood herself would be proud. They made the right choice picking you. ❤ btw, new subscriber, LONG time west side story fan. I'm 30 and the original film was given to me at 5 years old, I've been obsessed ever since. It is literally so close to my heart that my chest tattoo quote is from "a boy like that" i can't wait till it gets released. I was actually worried about new casting until I heard you sing "tonight" and "i feel pretty" plus act the end scene. Gurl you won me over so quick. you were born for that role! Thank you so much for taking the stress out of them remaking this movie for me... I heard lastnight that it had been remade from a girlfriend of mine and I nearly freaked out like "WHAT? THEY'RE REMAKING WHAAAAATTTT?" Then I see your videos, and hell, I would've cast you myself. ❤❤❤❤ much love light and blessings on you honey.
