Iron flame spoiler (ending)
Wow… wow! I’m not okay!
But also, I am. As devastated as I am after finishing Iron Flame, it was also so satisfying.
Xaden turning venin is exactly what I expected to happen during this series. (My personal prediction was for at the end of book three, but since book two was divided in two parts, I’ll take that, too.) But that’s not even it.
Xaden and Violet were both in the exact same situation, quite possibly at the exact same time. After fighting for so long, they were burning out, putting everything they had into the one task they had to accomplish. They were at the absolute end of their strength, at the ground, defeated, hopeless. They both felt the power of the earth beneath their hands, both knew how wrong it was to use it… yet also that it would be the one thing that could save them. And they both would have made the same decision.
But while Violet had her friends and family around them, the people she loved, the people she couldn’t cut out of her life even when it would have been for the best, Xaden was alone. And where Violet had people fighting for her, keeping her from doing the unthinkable, sacrificing themselves for her… Xaden had no one.
It’s tragic poetry, this parallel to how they live their lives.

The toasting is such an amazing concept to me. I think it’s been talked about but I just want to throw it out here if you haven’t seen anything about it.
Peeta says that’s what him and katniss does. And he’s basically telling people, ‘it has a deeper meaning and to him they’re basically married. They don’t need a big wedding or a ceremony.’ Katniss also explains what it is.
Now here’s where I’m like “oh my godddd Suzanne ima mail you my therapy bill” It’s a toasting of bread. Over fire. Katniss refers to Peeta as her boy with bread. The baker son. He makes jokes about a bread tree for fucks sake. And katniss is known as the girl on fire. Because of the clothing cinna makes for her. She even did propos and the mockingjay was on fire. That’s her memo. The girl on fire from district 12.
And if you’re still not feeling me. THE TOASTING IS WHEN YOU MAKE AND TOAST BREAD OVER A FIRE AND EAT IT WITH YOUR NEW SPOUSE!
KILL ME LORD PLEASEEEE

I'm thinking about how Katniss describes the rock that Thresh uses to kill Clove. She compares its size to "a small loaf of bread." This is what I mean when I say I could talk about the bread symbolism for hours. It's actually insane that Thresh is saving her life here, but in Katniss' mind, it echoes Peeta. The first person who saved her. Peeta will always be the epitome of safety to her. God, it's just so—

sometimes i’m normal about the hunger games and then i remember that in district 12 there’s a wedding ceremony where the couple toasts a piece of bread together in order to signify the beginning of their shared new life and then the main character and her love interest are the girl on fire and the boy with the bread and their first fucking interaction is when he burns a loaf of bread to give to her

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 ✊🏻😔

Chuck telling Sam the ending he showed him was bad, as if that's not the ending we got...the boys dying on some random hunt after killing Chuck.

The Trap is literally an amazing destiel episode. It's so "me and my husband are in a fight". Like how else does it read!?!?
Dean's "confession" after Cas disappears again mirroring what happened the first time they were in purgaytory.
In Sam's flashforwad, Dean literally losing it because Cas died. Mirroring his widow arc when Cas died in Season 13.
Also Deans confession in this episode, he knows that he has 30 minutes left and he may never see Cas again, so unprompted, bares his soul. But, when Cas is literally dying in front of him after he bared his soul Dean says NOTHING!?!? Bullshit.
I also firmly believe in the theory that if Cas allowed Dean to talk about his prayer Dean would have said I love you and Cas would have been sucked to Super Mega Hell(tm).

I love the interaction between Chuck and Becky. Someone else did this analysis but they were right, this is like the fans (us, Becky) and the writers (Chuck), talking. Like we are successful and love Supernatural for what we made it and the writers/producers come crawling back, not understanding that we don't want the dumb story they wrote, we want the one that exists in our head. And because they are the writers, they can write a dumb ending they KNOW we are going to hate (Becky hating Chucks ending).

AND THE VERY NEXT EPISODE WE FIND OUT THAT HE CALLS HIMSELF THE MEAT MAN. And Sam is like "that doesn't mean what you think it means" and Deans like "ya it does". So that means Dean KNOWS the double meaning and sticks with it because he is, in fact, a Meat Man(tm).

So in Season 15 Episode 2 when Chuck is talking to Amara and is trying to make small talk he says "how about that GOT ending, great right". IF THAT IS NOT A FORSHADOW FOR HOW SHITTY CHUCK'S ENDING WILL BE THAT HE THINKS GOT WAS GOOD!

Dude, what is this scene in S14E10!?! It's right after Cas makes his deal with the Empty. So, thia language is similar to what Cas went through. Dean "only wants what he can't have", he doesn't want Pamela he "just likes to flirt" and shes a "psychic so I know things". Like why did Dean want Pamela in his "happy place"? Maybe because she is the only one that "knows" what he actually wants (Cas) because she is psychic and even in his mind he repressed himself so much that he won't put Cas there but at least he has someone that "knows". Also, how is it not connected to Cas since the language is basically the same!

Dude Dean and Cas in Tombstone though. He is in love your honor. And he is getting to live out a cowboy fantasy lol. Like you can't tell me this scene is anything but Dean being turned on by Cas quoting that movie, in that hat.

Watching season 13 Supernatural. Dean literally wanted to kill himself and die last episode but death would not let him. All because he lost so much (i.e. Cas) because honesty, that's what's different this time, Cas died....
And then in Tombstone, Dean is so happy that Cas is back and Dean and Sam talk about it and we get this KNOWING head tilt. Like what is this scene if not "Sam knows"
