The House Of Black Family Bloggers AU

au in which the real reason why tim drake is still seventeen years old is because he was turned into a vampire and he’s really bad at hiding it.

surprisingly, his family who are the supposed ‘greatest detectives’ have not caught on yet even though tim has slipped up in front of them many times.

The king (Mo’s dad): That sound is so awful, it makes me want to kill someone but I can’t tell if it makes me want to commit suicide, homocide or both.

The trumptus. bwaaah

*panthea explodes*

Things that have slightly similar flavors, mostly when chewed on:

Recently hair conditioned hair.

Chlorine/whatever else is in pool water, but specifically when you chew/suck on something that’s soaked in it like for example: your hair, your shirt, your swimming clothes, a pool noodle and the foam ribbons on those toys you dive after that are meant to make it easier to grab them. (This can however be notably sweeter than a seatbelt depending on the soaked object.)

I will never again know the succulent flavor of a seatbelt

Do you mean @ p4perback ??

that one remus lupin tiktoker

This can be perfectly explained by the hc that he was also a contortionist on top of being a trapeze artist when he was in the circus.

Dick probably just considers this to be a maybe slightly exaggerated version of a jumping splits.

im rereading tom king’s mister miracle and there’s this action group shot

then i notice

what’re u doin bud

Fully agree with this

Reblog if you have used dude as a non gender specific term.

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 ✊🏻😔

Weirdly good food/drink combinations pt.1:

I’m a bit sick and am currently/have been somewhat delirious for the past few days.

(I still stand by my previous post about Bucky Barnes and disability representation and I will continue to even when I feel better)

Anyways, back to the point:

So naturally, I had the idea of putting honey on my left over pizza that I ate for dinner last night and it is so delicious that it’s crazy.

10/10 highly recommend
