But

Ven Para made it to my spotify wrapped

It's a bop, I'm sorry

fun reminder that francis eats maraschino cherries out of the jar when he's drunk and depressed, and when charles is depressed he drinks floats which usually have a cherry on top.

thinking about a lottiejackie/reader relationship and almost fainted.. lottie just absolutely TOWERING over jackie as she pushes her against the wall when she's being a brat. (and u just watching with a bucket of popcorn because as much as you love to be participating, you love it even more when jackie's begging for you as lotties punishing her).

and also... bottom jackie supremacy but the thought of her degrading you along with lottie is just....hgngnh

-🧸

i want that girltwink obliterated. live laugh love brat Jackie but can we talk about how she'd fold underneath the slightest amount of punishment. she's over there like "hey wait a minute!“ she's swearing and pleading she'll be good before the punishment even started.

thinking about Jackie realizing lottie is too set on the punishment so she's looking at you over Lottie's shoulder all teary-eyed as she begs you to help her omg. going feral. Lottie's giving you like smug looks the entire time. she glances back questioningly and just laughs in Jackie's face when she sees that your just grinning at Jackie's predicament.

i feel like jackie would press on a really bad insecurity of yours unintentionally and her ass is behind lottie looking fucking horrified and guilty as you start crying and safeword over it lmaooo. lottie matthews trying to comfort both of yall over it omg

top Jackie is all talk. literally. she's backseat driving atp she has no intention of backing up her words with actions she's just there for the ride. she likes to watch 🤷 what can she say?? she's making degrading comments while you and lottie are doing all the work. she's entering her commentary era lmao

Really wish younger fandom kids/adults would be aware that if a community gets big enough, there's /always/ going to be problematic people/content in it. Like.

If you have more than 1000 people in a group, you're gonna have racists, pedos, etc. There's always gonna be shitty people in the mix. But that doesn't mean the community at-large is bad if the focus of the community is something unrelated to these harmful people.

I've seen 'this fandom/community is toxic' more times than I can count, when in the end, every fandom/community has toxic parts. Every single one. To reduce a community's whole down to one of its parts is reductive and harmful, and often chases out the good people because they feel guilty by association.

Anyways. Be kind to your communities. Allow them to grow up. Be the good parts you apparently want to see in it. But don't go tearing apart the chicken coop because of a few bad eggs.

I respect y'all, but I will always be a shoes in the kitchen person. Even if it's not in the rest of the house, every kitchen floor is somehow always wet.

this is evidently a Controversial Gaming Opinion™ in the grand scheme of things but i think that if you publish a game that's too many gigabytes you should be, like, publically shamed for it. like you shouldn't be allowed to do that anymore. people should put you in the town square and throw tomatoes at your face and shout HOW'S THAT FOR HIGH-FIDELITY GRAPHICS

I don't think everyone is deserving of life I think some people deserve to be told explicit ways to kill themselves

I know everyone is giving their two cents on batman appearing in mawsm right now, but honestly I think it would be funny if, like, in season 2 (definitely not season 1 I think that should focus entirely on the main trio before introducing other dc characters like kara and such) I think that I would want One (1) World’s Finest episode except batman doesn’t even show up, it’s just Bruce Wayne showing up consistently in the B plot while the Daily Planet Intern Gang are running around getting into shenanigans. I want it to be implied that he’s Batman, and maybe Jimmy throws out a conspiracy theory that he is Batman, but everyone shoots it down because Jimmy’s theories are only somewhat right like 10% of the time anyway.

dont know who ethan landry is but i can guarantee the part of avatar fandom who were like "it should have been spider" and regard a whole kid who has more depth than most characters in this film worse than dirt just because he isnt a pretty blue alien is going to take a big L when he becomes a big player (gets rid of the dreads) in the next films. boy is going to get the zuko treatment i rest my case

thinking about abigail’s character again and I think the way point of view is handled in nbc hannibal is really interesting when you’re trying to understand her character, since a lot of what we see is filtered through either will’s misplaced attachment to her or hannibal’s projections. it’s hard to see abigail’s true self and/or nature because half of what we see is unreliable. like, will refuses to think she was the bait and so we, the audience, also believe this to be true, even though when it’s revealed she actually was the bait it makes all the sense in the world. but it’s still shocking to us because our perception of her is warped as a consequence of being in will’s pov most of the time. not only that, but the nature of this reveal is arguably softened later on when will dreams he’s teaching abigail how to fish in s2a, and literally names his bait after her because of how much he “cherishes” her

all of this is to say in a show that’s all about identity and revealing (and understanding) the self, and the grotesque connection between will and hannibal, who are understood by no one but each other, abigail’s character is super interesting as a means to explore the layers of how people falsely perceive us. she’s complex because she’s not the innocent person will (or alana for that matter) perceives her to be, but she’s also not the ruthless murderer that hannibal (or again, jack) hopes she is. she’s just a traumatised kid who was raised by a psychopathic cannibal. not only that, but she’s the unwilling victim of both her surrogate father’s projections. first will, who projects his need for comfort, family, and acceptance onto her, as well as the hope that his morality is still intact, all factors which are complicated when he confuses his sense of self with the identity of garret jacob hobbs. and evidently by murdering him, and leaving abigail orphaned, feelings of shame and guilt also influence the nature of his projections. but then you have hannibal, who projects his attachment to mischa onto her, as well as his grief. and like will, this is all complicated by his own human need for comfort, family, and acceptance

but if you peel all that away, and get to the core of it, the key similarity between will and hannibal’s projections is a want for acceptance, and then forgiveness, which, as we see in s3, is synonymous to love. essentially, these are two characters who are undoubtedly monstrous, yet retain their humanity due to that universal longing to love and be loved, in whatever twisted form they are capable

I mean, the whole concept of the murder family is so sad because I think it reveals how damaged both will and hannibal are, beyond the show’s literal gothic horror. cannibalism, bloodshed, manipulation, playing the devil, grotesque thoughts and fantasies concerning murder, etc are all obvious reasons why these characters are fucked up mentally, but that’s also a consequence of the genre. to me, the true horror of the show is very much embedded in the psychological, and how will and hannibal are so lonely and isolated that they would wish to have this family circle “in some other world” because they thought they’d found someone who also understood them, someone they could nurture and take care of. but, as we know, this is all an illusion. will repeatedly says he thinks he’d make a good father, but he’s self-destructive and so is hannibal, and so it’s no wonder abigail dies the way that she does. she never had a chance with them. if anything, if she represents the self we project onto others, a fantasy standing in the way of the truth of our natures, which is shaped by human frailty, then her death is also the death of these idealistic delusions. it’s why in s3a, when will is still desperately trying to hold onto her, she’s nothing more than a ghost. and it’s why when he finally accepts this he goes to hannibal’s childhood estate, because, as he tells him when they reunite in the gallery, “I wanted to understand you, before I laid eyes on you again. I needed it to be clear, what I was seeing”

one day i will explain how my complete indifference to both tyrion as a character and his fear/hatred of cersei ties into my hidden tragic backstory but today is not that day.

before i say anything, louis isn't the father, freddie isn't his kid

okay so i know babygate is the worst of all stunts and the people who came up with it should definitely rot in hell but they always planned it to be a long term stunt. and i absolutely don't blame louis for trying to make the best of it. however, whenever it ends, it won't be a clean cut. as in at this point they can't just go "he ain't the dad bye bye" because they've established this relationship between louis and freddie. however it ends, there'll still be lingering traces of it. and it will look so bad if they did a clean cut because it'll be like so he cared for the kid like a father and now suddenly he's out of the picture. anyway you can find all of this in my babygate tag.

however, what i am trying to say is that, because of those reasons, i do think that louis and freddie have tried to get to know each other a bit. and freddie is aware of who louis is and knows him to an extant. yes freddie did look uncomfortable in quite a lot of scenes, but he also seemed to be familiar. what i'm saying is louis isn't a complete stranger to freddie and he might be a friendly figure to him. at the end of the day freddie is just a kid who got to go backstage and so he was just chilling and having fun as any kid would, but he also didn't look like he was surrounded by strangers. he seemed to be on familiar grounds there. i wouldn't say they talk on a regular basis, but i'd say they've hung out enough times for freddie to think of louis as a friendly figure. and besides louis loves kids, despite the situation, i'm sure that he wouldn't outrightly show malice towards freddie who has absolutely no role in the cards louis' been dealt with so of course louis' also gonna be nice and friendly to him. which is why those scenes could fool anyone who doesn't know about babygate into believing that freddie is actually his kid because there's some sort of familiarity between them

not only do i think hannibal would survive a saw trap, I think he would actively enjoy escaping
