The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Valentines!

Snow Lands on Top (of me and everyone else on the internet)Every year, I search the internet for Hunger Games-themed valentines, and they're always the same ones that have been around for over a decade. They're classic and fabulous, but we needed an update. I decided it was time to make my own. 

She's a victorBecause, really, what could be more romantic than disappearing into the woods while your lover loses his mind and hunts you down like a dog?! 

Brb, just running out for some KatnissI can actually hear itShe's too good for this worldMaybe wars are won with hearts after all, Dr. GaulWelcome home, Mr. SnowI volunteer as tributeYou're monsters if you don't send out these valentines, All of you!Lucky in love

I hope you're doing something (or someone) fun on this silly, goofy holiday. Which one would you send out?
