Hi! I’m Bringing Character Came Back From The Dead Wrong/undead (like They’re A Zombie Or A Ghost

The sound of suddenly being overwhelmed by the adorableness of this picture that I just made

Probably, yeah.

completely hypothetically if i were to release an EP that was centered around sapphic connections and the idea of loving and losing and worshipping women with a mitski-like sound and florence + the machine-like lyrics and a late 90’s vibe would y’all listen to it? completely hypothetically of course

this is steve

steve loves his personal space.

this is eddie

eddie also loves steve's personal space.

hades explaining that he’s the god of the dead, not the god of death

Is the horse Sleipnir? If it’s him that means that he’s Loki’s son. Loki literally gave birth to a horse with 8 legs in the myths.

If Loki had any kind of pet he would definitely make them some little golden horns. Just imagine him shaping some tinfoil and spray painting it gold to put on his pet cat, or someone else's cat like Bucky's to mess with him.

That wasn’t even the first time, it wasn’t even the 150th time Dick called him dad, but Battinson still cries every time it happens because he’s just like that.

(Sorry if my English isn’t very good/hard to read, English is my third language and I don’t really know how commas work lol)

Clark Kent: you can’t just let this 8 year go out in the night and fight crime

Battinson on the verge of tears: that’s what I told him but he won’t listen to me

Robin! Dick gleefully: I am going to be just like my dad!

Battinson sobbing: Dad

Theoretically the person in the government who’s in charge of who gets to talk and when should just be some random person who doesn’t give a flying fuck about politics, doesn’t know who any of the politicians are, only ever votes based on vibes and who has the best logo. They should also exclusively refer to the different politicians as if they’re a shitty substitute teacher filling in at a rough school. Like, [referring to Ebba Busch] “You there, the blonde lady, with the shitty makeup, who doesn’t seem to like Muslims very much? Yes you. What did you want to say?” Or like “Hey you, yeah you, the really short guy?”

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 ✊🏻😔

I hate when people lose something and then when they finally find it they say “It’s always in the last place you look.”

Like??? Yes, of course it is?? You don’t keep looking for something after you’ve already found it, right???
