James, Remus, Peter, Regulus + Sirius Playing Never Have I Ever:

That would be Banshee In A Well by liverobinreaction (bugbee) and here’s the link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43212999/chapters/108611211

I’m so mad. I had this fic that I absolutely loved. I can’t find it.

So basically it was Tim Drake centric (as per usual) and basically he died when he was five by drowning then just figured out he couldn’t die. There’s a whole thing with Ra’s, Pru has parts of Tim in jars because it’s Tim- it basically ends with The Batfam finding out in horrible fashion because it’s Tim.

Please help?? Was it deleted?? I’m suffering

*adds autopsy scars to your Jason Todd* : )

Drawing Jason in a dress cause he can't stop me

I was looking through my hoard of pics of various arts saved years ago then I saw this gem:

i chuckled but then thought of Jason so I made this. Also I keep seeing Valentine's dresses, so late but here's Jason, ready to beat up psychopaths or take you on a date

Forgot to draw the version of him wearing his mask but oh well

To add on to the part about Peetas name: not only he named after bread but he was also on fire with Katniss twice (being baked twice would burn bread) and he gave her the burnt bread when she was starving.

Peeta is literally the burnt bread.

Suzanne Collins is one of the few contemporary writers who realizes the importance of names in her stories and the significance they bear. They add so many layers to the story, additional meanings that otherwise would not have existed.

The original trilogy:

Katniss: named after a plant of which you can eat the roots. Her father taught her where to find it and told her that “as long as you can find yourself, you’ll survive” (quote may be a little bit off, but it’s from one of the early chapters in THG). Additionally, the leaves are in the shape of an arrowhead, referencing her skills with the bow which her father also taught her how to use.

Peeta: literally bread lmao. But bread is one of the basic nutritions humans need, a little bit goes a long way to keep you alive. Peeta’s presence in Katniss’s life also kept her alive, literally and figuratively—the burned bread he threw her in the flashback and their complicated relationship.

Primrose: a plant with medicinal purposes, even more significant in light of her work as a medic in Mockingjay.

Gale: literally means “strong wind” and considering that in every encounter with Katniss he’s caused some reaction, he pulls her into directions she maybe initially doesn’t want to go in. Additionally, his name also represents his determination and steadfastness in his beliefs.

TBOSAS

Lucy Gray: named after William Wordsworth’s poem “Lucy Gray” which is about the titular character of the poem who got lost during a blizzard. She literally got lost in snow. Rachel Zegler sang this poem in two parts on the original soundtrack of the movie. When Snow asked who the girl in the song is, Lucy answers that she’s a mystery, just like her.

Snow: aside from the obvious snow references, I think his name is most significant in relation to Lucy and the poem. The only one who knows what caused her disappearance is Snow. He is the reason that Lucy is gone. But her traces in the snow are still visible. He will always remember her because the memory of Lucy has manifested itself in every part of his life.

Coriolanus: named after the Roman general (and also the titular character of Shakespeare’s play), Coriolanus wanted to attack Rome and become its ruler. He was scorned and celebrated by the people, only to be later exiled from the city by them. In TBOSAS, Coriolanus is the star pupil at the Capitol’s academy but sent into exile to the districts after he won the Games with Lucy through cheating.

Volumnia: Coriolanus mother who played a part in his ascent to power. In TBOSAS, she almost serves like a mentor to Coriolanus, teaching him how to think in terms of power.

(Edit) Sejanus: a roman soldier who was betrayed by the roman emperor Tiberius, just like the future president betrayed him.

(Edit) Plinth: got this info from here, but it was too good not to include here. A plinth is a base for a statue or vase to stand on. After Sejanus’s death, all of the Plinth fortune was given to Snow for being such a good to friend him. It was this money that skyrocketed the Snow family from poverty to filthy rich. The Plinth money was the foundation upon which Snow built his power.

There are so many other names that have historical (mostly Roman and Greek) connotations—Plutarch, Seneca, Cinna—but also regular names like Trinket and Beetee bear meanings that represent the character beautifully.

Names are important. For any lover of literature or (aspiring) writers, please look closely at them. They can shape your story into something unique.

Feel free to correct me if I’ve said something wrong. I know there are many names missing, but I can only add so many examples ✊🏻😔

Can we have a Harry Potter AU where Regulus Black is the Death Eater spy turned potions master instead of Snape?

Half an hour later:

Regulus, [aggressively hallucinating from sleep deprivation and has been for like 12 hours]: HOLY FUCK DID THAT DRAGON JUST CALL ME A SLUR???!!!

Remus, [has been hallucinating things for even longer]: I SWEAR ON MERLINS SHAGGY LEFT BOLLOCK THAT IM GONNA SLAP THAT HOMOPHOBIC SHIT FACE INTO NEXT TUESDAY!!!

Lily, [excitedly going along with their plan]: I’ll stab it while you do that!

James, [incredibly concerned but trying to be supportive]: …yeah…sure…do that…

James, [who’s been slowly covering everyone in blankets since this conversation started]: *Carefully takes the knife out of Lily’s hand and kisses her forehead* Hey honey, don’t mind me, I’ll just take this real quick.

marauders incorrect quotes pt 219

Lily: I haven't slept in seventy-three hours. Regulus: Eighty. Democratically elected leader of insomnia. Remus: It's been ninety for me. I'm going for an even one hundred. James: You guys are fucking terrifying.

PLZ REBLOG

Do you mean @ p4perback ??

that one remus lupin tiktoker

You can’t just leave these absolute gems in the tags omfg

The Batfam is so busy that Alfred could be doing anything in that damn house and nobody would know a thing. Running a criminal empire of his own, meeting with MI6 contacts, cultivating several hobbies, hosting charity events and having unwitting, half-asleep batkids mingle on their way back from patrol (and heading to bed in civilian clothes) or distracted batkids mingle on their way to the Cave. Alfred could be watching fitness influencers and working out in the Greenhouse (he's got his suit and whatnot stashed in multiple locations for quick changes).

I’m saving this for later

this took me an hour (well spent)
