Love without Sex

I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.

guess who’s back with the marauders memes

That last one was truly epic

if this gets 100,000 notes then i, the worlds greatest space agency will personally shoot donald trump into the sun

sirius + regulus black, glaring at each other from across the table:

sirius: never have i ever hidden under the invisibly cloak when i heard footsteps coming up the stairs, leaving my partner with his dick out

regulus: *smirks, and takes a sip of vodka* never have i fucked on peter’s bed

sirius: *takes a large sip of vodka* never have i ever been caught fucking by mcgonagall

regulus: *inhales the vodka* never have i ever used the marauders map to scout out a new place to fuck

sirius: *takes two gulps of vodka* never have i ever skipped quidditch practice to fuck

regulus: *drinks half the bottle* never have i ever used my wand to-

peter: *grabs the bottle* that’s enough from you two

peter: also, my bed?? really?

remus + james: *dying*

Regulus: I went cavediving.

Sirius: ???

Regulus: I also tried to kill Mouldy-Voldy and as it turns out, the tattoos aren’t just for looking cool.

Sirius: I’m so proud of you. Wait what was that thing about the tattoos?

Regulus: As it turns out, they’re also for killing “traitors to the cause” or something.

Regulus: Anyways I got sepsis and was in a coma for like two weeks while the muggle doctors were trying to figure out how to fix everything.

Sirius: Oh, that’s where you’ve been? I thought you were just ignoring me. When did you get out of the hospital?

Regulus: About 20 minutes ago.

Sirius: Do you have a place to stay?

Regulus, who’s been standing in front of the door to Sirius and Remus’ flat for this entire conversation: No I was hoping to stay here? If you don’t mind?

Sirius, who’s been standing in the open door the whole time: Of course we don’t mind. Come in. Remus and I were just making some tea and biscuits, do you want some?

Regulus: Yes, please.

Sirius: You look… different. Hair cut?

Regulus: I lost an arm.

Sirius: I know. The hair cut thing was a farce. I just didn't want to be rude. But since you brought it up, what the hell happened to you?

Meanwhile in Gryffindor tower:

Regulus: I HATE YOU

Lily: OH, WELL NEXT TIME DON’T STEAL MY MONOPOLY

Remus: Sirius, give Regulus your 200$, you landed on his property.

Sirius: NO! HE’S IN JAIL! I’M NOT GONNA GIVE MONEY TO A CRIMINAL

Regulus: THAT’S NOT HOW YOU PLAAAAY

Peter: James, why is Regulus screaming?

James: Shut the fuck up Peter, you don’t get to talk after stealing my last railroad.

Sirius: I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN

Regulus: ME TOO, YOU THINK I WANTED THIS

All: AAAAAAAAAHHH

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 just made a sound like a choked pig because it’s the middle of the night and I’m the only one awake
