District Deep Dive: The Covey

- WELCOME BACK TO DISTRICT DEEP DIVE! I know the immediate question here is, "what on EARTH took you so long, and where is District 11?" Answers are attached below:
1) District 11 is geared up for editing and will be uploaded within the next three videos!
2) A combination of issues - some in my control, some not. Copyright was among the largest, but over the course of this year, I've had to handle the bulk of my audio files corrupting while being in an environment where they could not be easily or swiftly replaced. Regardless, I deeply apologize for the delay and will be organizing a giveaway of the entire THG boxset to compensate! Please know this series is fully written - and will likely be fully up within the month.
Babe Wake Up Lucky remembered her password and finally dropped a district deep dive video
Lol 😂
😭
Another note: while not being from one district, the covey display a fierce sense of loyalty with their family, which is a very culturally Appalachian ideal to hold. It always comes with a catch though, like “we are loyal to you until the end. unless you get too big for your britches and start thinking you’re better than us” you can see this in the way they treat Billy Taupe. He started getting too big for his britches and they dropped him.
Not just too big for his britches, tho.
He actively betrayed the whole Covey by becoming a lackey for the Mayor's daughter. So because he could no longer be trusted, he was cut off from the rest, including (in the book) his actual blood relative, his brother.
Truth
As a Romani from the Appalachian area I love the positive representation for us in this. We really only have the Disney Hunchback and the Golden Compass besides this, loved having something else to show my daughter. When I was growing up all I had was Hunchback.
i love how much you respected romani and appalachian cultures in this video thank you💞
All you have left is District 11, 12, 13 and finally the Capitol
Those finna gonna be some insanely long videos
@@Cheez_Doodlezzexcuse me? Finna…gonna?? It’s giving “We in the clurb. We all fam.”
@@meccalovett4616 Oh no someone used slang😪 Lol how can we recover?
@@lizanne373 it’s not the slang that’s the problem. It’s that it was used incorrectly. It’s a misuse of AAVE. I was pointing out how weird it sounded. Hence the subtext of “We in the clurb, we all fam”. It sounds cringe. “Finna” and “gonna” are never used together.
Yess CAPITOOOL!
This just reminded me how much I’d love to see Susanne Collin’s read JD Vance to filth on behalf of Appalachia. Cause dang she was so much more respectful to the culture in a work of dystopian than he was in a book about his own family.
I’m also wondering if Katniss’s father was forced due to societal pressure in one form or another to change his surname connoting his Covey ancestry slightly- Evergreen to Everdeen? Just a thought 🤷🏻♀️
Probably
It would make sense! I know the original justification was that the everdeen family were scavengers, but it's an easily applicable reason retroactively.
Tbh I would still understand and wait (albeit excrutiating long) for this series to continue since I expect that we will receive new information about the districts in the upcoming novel next year. For a minute I thought you put it onhold the whole series for that very reason tho love these analysis so much!
Love how Lucy Gray had what I consider the perfect winner. Yes snow cheated so the snakes wouldn’t kill her and she was erased from history but if you look at the way Lucy gray won the games it was by entertaining the capital viewers by singing and putting on a performance it forever changing how the games to a performance to entertain like a tv show or musical, not a battle to the death but a popularity contest
I love this video, I specifically always viewed the Covey as being Irish Traveller, due to the strong Irish heritage that runs through the Appalachia, (I go to school in and don’t live far from the Appalachia), I love these books and always will
This is literally my favourite series to ever exist, I love learning more about this. Thank you for your insightful analysis as always!
Thank you for your in-depth analysis, as usual. I appreciate the fact that you called out double-names. I have a double-name and i can never get over people shortening it not just to the first part, but a nickname of it. My name is Kristina-Rae, not Kristina, not Tina, not even Tina-Rae. Being able to use my double-name is a privilege that literally only my family has. The culture there is.... hard to explain, but you did fantastically, as always
legitimately some of the best content on youtube it’s insane this only has 17k views
No need for apologies in the video description!! We’re just excited you’re back:)
You should do one for the game makers as well.
Great video! I would just like to point out however that the 500 000 number for Roma victims of the Holocaust is considered to be outdated by Romani historians like Ian Hancock. Many historians nowadays estimate the number to be in the millions.
Love this analysis. I have also heard that many believe that both Katness and her father were part Indigenous American (dark straight hair and olive complexion) but I don't think it has been given Word of God, either yea or nay.
Such a good video!!! I’ve been loving the series I’ve binged it all and I can’t wait for the rest.
I always thought of them as Native coded. I love the covey. You can't break their spirit or take their joy. They never forgot who they were. ❤
Hello lucky! I love the video. So I’m going to leave a nice long comment to boost your video for the TH-cam algorithm gods! I know it’s hard as a content creator to get the videos you worked so hard on to get going with the algorithm. So hopefully this comment gets it on its way. I used to leave really short comments just saying “hi” or “
Such good points. These videos are always so well done ❤️
She’s back!!!
They are so important. Would Lucy gray's songs Katniss sings have as much power if they were no preceeded by a legacy of travellers who passed their music to all the districts? Its like all the districts remember the music even if they never heard that song before, they know what it represents.
Girl, been looking waiting for this for so long 😢
I'm so happy youre doing long form content
Oooooooohhh this is gonna be goooood
I missed the deep dives! Yay
I wonder if "Covey" got caught anywhere else, and if they even went by that name.
Long form Lucky content? BEST DAY!
Oh shoot I was just wondering when the next video in this series was coming!
love the video ! and patiently waiting for a district 11 deep dive
excelente vídeo como siempre lucky gracias por tanto
8:34 maybe I’m looking into this too much, but I wonder if this thought process is what later leads to what snow forces Finnick and other victors to do.
Please do district 11 and 12 the other ones were awesome.
Great video!
YAY!!!!!! new video!!!
The romani people's story is so important, and yet so hidden from our world history
Alright, lemme see if I can do this off the top of my head:
Are you, are you, coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say who murdered three?
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree,
Where I told you to run so we'd both be free?
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee?
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in thew hanging tree.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of rope side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.
Oooooooooooooookay, I know I got all the verses, but is that in the right order?
I need to go lay down now.
Wait... now I need to rewatch the other video cuz I think I'm mixing up what was said. I thought you said Katniss wasn't related to any of them, but perhaps I am remembering more people than were actually mentioned
In the 'least favourite Lucy Gray theories' vid, Lucky does mention the strong potential for Maude Ivory being Katniss' grandmother
WE ARE SO BACK!!
YEEEEEES!!!!!!!!
5:20 Canada
I know a fair amount of people with double names and yeah it would be weird (and disrespectful) to refer to them only as one. Like no one would call Mary Kate Olsen just Mary, so don’t do it to the people around you.
HWO DID YOU KNOW I EAS REWATCHING THE DEEP DIVES?!?! you are way too smart I love your takes. Thank you for working on them 🤎
