Dude HH as a show is literally hurting people. Like, actual human beings in the real world. At that point you can't just brush shit aside with "oh the show just isn't for you, just don't watch it if you don't like it!" And even then, people are allowed to criticize flaws in things. Please be more thoughtful, this is not the hill you want to die on.
How exactly is this hurting human beings? Its not some disney show being shoved down everyones throats 24/7, so its pretty easy to avoid- I didn't even really know about it until a week ago! Additionally it doesn't seem to contain any intentional propaganda of the * these minority groups are evil* type.
It does have its flaws, not every joke lands, and the humour runs on the darker side of comedy which is definitely not to everyones taste. But unless the creators are doing some JK Rowling level "our billions in profits are funding a hate group" level shit I don't see what else the show could be doing that can't be fixed by just being responsible about your own media consumption?
Also I love a good show critique! But when someones criticism extends to the point where they seem to dislike the show at a fundamental level I genuinely think "hey I don't think this show is bringing you joy, maybe find something else" is a more thoughtful response then dragging them deeper into the rabbit hole by quibbling over different interpretations of the story or whatever.

Tumblr media
𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾. after a messy break-up, y/n goes mia for three months and her fans start to worry about her. but then one day, she makes her comeback, happier than she ever was, as she releases a new romantic song dedicated to her new mysterious lover, 'the sun' which sends her fans into frenzy as they try to figure out who her muse is.
💌 lewis hamilton x fem! singer! reader (social media au)
# author's note : this has nothing to do with the latest news on njr btw as it's been in the works long before the official news about his split with his ex. but with that being said, i do not condone any of his actions. anyways, i loved making this & i hope you'll have fun reading it !

f1gossip lewis was caught leaving the paddock with a girl after the qualis today ! one of our followers who attended the qualis today provided these pictures. they could not get a clear view of the girl's face but they suspect that she's his girlfriend as they were holding hands and were also hugging each other. who do you think this mysterious girl is and could she be the one he posted on his account a few days back ?

user08 why does she look kinda familiar...
user10 she must be that girl he posted on his account
user28 ugh must be another girl just using him and his popularity for clout
user36 who cares ? she's probably just some girl who wants to mooch money & fame off of him
user40 why is it that every time a driver is seen with a girl or gets a new girlfriend, people automatically assume that the girl just wants fame and is just using the drivers for clout 💀

a pro pal reblogged one of my posts all like "ops a zionist and had posts praising the iof murderers" and its just like. uh. no shit? theyre actively working to make this country safer, and doing so in such a way that even by the highest death toll hamas has reported there is still an insanely low civilian to militant death rate. of fucking course im going to reblog posts praising them if they're not blatantly hateful.
not even to mention i would guess the vast majority of israelis know someone who has been called in for miluim. the soldiers are mostly ordinary citizens (and very few are actually fighters inside gaza) and above all else i view them as people because for some reason pro pals insist on seeing them as a hivemind
(ps before this gets inevitably taken the wrong way because tumblr always assumes the worst in israelis: i do not think civilians dying is ever a good thing. i do not like war.)

(if this makes u uncomfy in any way plz ignore)
idk if mj exists in SW ‘verse, but like—sex with ani while ur both high as kite?? BIG YES (from me at least).
esp cause!! it would probably heighten ani’s force sensitivity?? like he’s feeling high and tingling and extra touch sensitive and all of a sudden you’re touching him and he’s getting a rush of emotions, floating, hungry, hot, i love you i want you.
and you. you look like heaven, like every sin he’s ever indulged in, all flushed and glowy and smiley, touching him with a fluttery touch.
ani needs you when he’s high cause there’s something almost spiritual, almost heaven scent and hell touched, about the rush of you he gets in every way.
as a former pothead i think i've gotta set some records straight. long post about marijuana + fucking + anakin under the cut <3
warnings: marijuana, negative + positive for anakin experience with marjuana
when i was smoking enough for a circle and then playing whatever videogame was in my ps for 20 hours a day, i can say that it did nothing but make me hungry, my attention span elongated, and my anxiety non-existent. i wasn't interested in fucking, i was mostly into wasting away while naked. it didn't do much (that i can remember) for my sense of touch.
i do know that when i did fuck while high, it wasn't a remarkable experience because i don't remember any of it. nor did it make me horny or add to the sensation. those kinds of effects were from an entirely different drug that i did that i dont feel like putting the trigger warnings for so i wont talk about it
pot is definitely good for mellowing out, chilling, and fucking really casual. and i mean really casual. that's my experience with it anyway i have no idea if its diff for other ppl, im sure ppl who arent demisexual and have higher sex drives than me can say different who knows.
for anakin, i can see him smoking and fucking. definitely. in very specific circumstances. let me lay those out for you:
he smokes very occasionally for spirituality reasons. he does it respectfully, with great care. a big stickler about it. he wants to emphasize to himself it's not for recreational or social reasons. the jedi discourage drugs that cloud your judgment. marijuana is frowned upon to rely on for things like calming yourself or meditating because you should be able to do that alone. however, it's not frowned upon to partake in it every once in a while. it's all about new experiences and as long as you treat it with respect, it's alright. anakin treats it with the utmost respect.
he does not care to be under the influence of something. being high or drunk is a very rare form for him indeed. he gets very uncomfortable when on something, and especially uncomfortable being reliant on something, so when he is smoking he does it alone most of the time. he does not like being disillusioned, and he certainly does not like the idea of someone's no-nonsense idea of him being shattered.
he's led a ceremony with younger people of the order. taught them how to partake, how to roll, how to use it mindfully. and if someone is having a negative first experience, they had too much or it does not agree with them and it gets into their heads, he knows how to calm them.
when he smokes with you, it might be a rare moment of rebellion. a "i'm an adult, i can smoke a little weed." moment. and even with that notion, his darkness may catch up to him. the guilt of using it under different circumstances than usual may put him in a bad place, memories he pushes back into the reaches of his mind creep up. his past with tatooine, the tusken massacre, etc. he gets paranoid, those doubts you couldn't love a monster like him get the better of him. it gets in his way. and you're there to lead him back to the present. like op said, "you look like heaven" he'd hone in on you. tunnel vision.
anakin's way of calming himself is often self pleasure. and so since youre here, and willing and able, he might use you to guide him back to the present in a more physical way. he can't think if he's inside you, all he can do is chase his orgasm. he's tingly, he's got those nerves in the pit of his stomach, he's trying to ground himself using you and at the same time fuck you out of this world. however, with marijuana you're both slowed, and clumsy. the love-making wouldn't be coherent, or poised, but it'd be enjoyable. less concerned about what you must look like, and more cuddly. more shallow thrusts, and humping ruts, and sloppy kisses and no dialogue.

I feel like clay would be extremely good at sex. Imagine you’re going at it and you’re still a bit hesitant cause it’s post Op and he’s like yeah I had a heart problem and got surgery from it. SO??? I’m still getting that pussy no matter what.
Ps. Can I be the moonie 🌙 anon ??
CLAY BERESFORD KNOWS WHAT HES DOING AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE!!!!!!!
oh i would be soooo hesitant like no matter what. “baby, you just had heart surgery you’re not supposed to do anything strenuous.”
so clay is just like “okay??? so??? i’m just eating my girl out, nothing strenuous about this.”
and he’ll just spend hours going down on you, maybe he’ll lay on his back and you sit on his face that way he really doesn’t have to do anything at all

Quick series of fact checks on that "Miku Expo = dashcon" post, by an attendee who has been to at least one show in every Miku Expo in North America tour since 2014, because OP made a post rife with misleading and false information and then restricted replies which is not a good look
-- "tickets were more expensive/charged people for projectors/tickets used to be at most $160" Not sure where they are getting these stats. My ticket was the same price as it has been all previous years, if not CHEAPER. OP cites $300 as the cheapest ticket for this year, which is blatantly false as my ticket was not nearly that much. (My VIP ticket in LA 2014 was definitely that much, though, so the claim that previous shows were "at most 160" is blatantly false)
--"banned glowsticks and upcharged ... their own" Chemical glowsticks shorter than 6" are still allowed, as has been standard with all previous Miku Expo shows in other years. Miku Expo merch has never been cheap. Pretty sure the glowsticks this year were the same price as always as I bought a set in ... 2016, I wanna say?
--rumors such as 'stolen cutout'/piss on floor/car crash in San Jose Can't comment on these as they are instance-specific and completely unrelated to the organizers. I recall hearing rumors about issues with staff employed by the specific venue due to lack of communication but nothing that I can personally confirm and nothing that would have been under control of the event organizers. Comment about 'unlicensed merch' indeed seems to point to venue staff rather than expo organizers
--'hologram technology not particularly complicated' Yes, you can make similar shows in your bedroom with similar technology (MMD with scrim). No, they're not on anywhere near the same scale as Miku Expo live concerts. In particular, the glass screen that utilizes the projectors (which has always been two-dimensional, by the way. so anyone who complains that this Miku "isn't a hologram" just... doesn't understand that Miku has never been a hologram, I guess?? This also makes the 'fans are disappointed because miku is 2D' headline VERY MISLEADING.) in the previous shows has a specific shape to make it look good from some angles, but it's VERY vulnerable to visual distortion when viewed from other, more extreme angles (from way off to the side, or right beneath it in the very front) as well as the problem of reflecting the lights from most glowsticks to some degree. The LCD screen used in the ongoing North America tour has neither of these problems. I can't speak to how complicated the specific setup is for the ongoing tour, but when you look at the show dates and how far apart the venues are, they don't leave a lot of wiggle room for... any kind of setup, even a simple one. (The San Jose show, for example, was only two days after the Portland show, despite the two cities being at least a ten-hour drive apart. No wonder they purportedly have a different band for each location)
--'this is the first time miku expo has been so bad' Nope. As mentioned above, I've been to at least one show in each Miku Expo North America tour since they started in 2014. I can guarantee you every previous show was not without its issues, either. In LA in 2014, the expo included daytime activities other than the concert and was hosted at an outdoor venue in the sun... with no drinking water available until the second day. Seattle in 2016 definitely also had miscommunication issues with the event organizers versus the venue staff. Can't remember 2018 well enough to comment.
--vocalo-ps are mad because this undermines their capitalistic interests Just... no?? Vocaloid producers are not major corporate entities who make a lot of money like a lot of mainstream producers. (Neither is Crypton Future Media, Miku's parent company, for that matter, but we'll address that in a little bit.) The vast majority are hobbyists and make little to no money. Those who profit from it at all are largely indie producers, some of whom retired from mainstream music production specifically to become indie vocalo-ps because they didn't want to deal with capitalist bs. (the reverse is also true in a few cases though) Vocalo-Ps aren't mad for reasons stated in the original post; they're mad because the overseas uproar is based largely on the assumption that, since Miku is obviously so popular, Crypton is a megacorporation that brings in tons of money and hence is in full control over... (vague hand gestures) all the issues outlined in the post. It really isn't. It has a grand total of 130 employees in an office in Sapporo. There's reasons they had to "crowdfund out the ass" for the online concerts during the pandemic and partner with Crunchyroll for the ongoing tour. That's why Vocalo-Ps are mad. Wouldn't be surprised if most of the issues that people are mad at could actually be traced back to crunchyroll tbh because they were apparently responsible for stuff like which venues were booked and when (which are just one of many issues that could be addressed aside from...)
--the whole thing with the screen??? I'm gonna be super honest with you. I'm in the minority here but I CANNOT understand why everyone is so mad about the screen? They make it sound like it looks SO bad but... it really isn't. (And as mentioned above, the presence of the LCD screen fixes a lot of issues that the glass screen has, so it's not without its perks.) It wouldn't have even occurred to me as an attendee of several previous miku expos that the screen was different if there hadn't been such a weirdly entitled uproar about it. So the fact that most of the words in the post and so much of the 'outcry' is about THE SCREEN when there are so many other logistical issues behind the concerts that could be addressed that are arguably more important than the type of screen they used baffles me, honestly. I could not describe this issue to my coworkers in a way that didn't make them think Vocaloid fans need to go touch grass which I think says something
People can try to sue crunchyroll over... whatever but I really don't think there's a basis for it??? I think this tour is not without its screwups and i'm conjecturing based on the evidence i have that most of them can be traced back to crunchyroll specifically but very likely NOT crypton or the individual vocalo-ps which... op seems very intent on villainizing for some reason.

Hello darlings!
Good news: Yesterday's oncology appointment marked one year cancer free! Can't believe it's been a year and I still see more doctors than I'd like more often than I'd like. Also, my extra specialist quit and is taking a 4 month break from medicine and I was told I could have a guy in the practice or google her to see what facility she switches to in the city. We'll see. That's a problem for July Natalie. The spleen/liver/kidney/heart issues remain... but FAM! Let's take the good news as good news! I had ice cream, I had dinner out with friends, and I hung out with a very sweet one year old who loves ASL and books.
Schools very hectic right now with student and teacher arrests, mass fights, drugs, sewage explosions, the return of problematic felons to campus, and state test prep so I know I'm still living the weekend only life, but it's almost summer break 😌 I'll miss these students despite the chaos, but I'll definitely like them more once I'm not longer filing constant paperwork for their crimes and poor choices.
Be well, Be kind! Natty
PS. I changed Eve's FC because after quite some time of using Emma Pasarow I've given up on people wanting her as an op or people making content for her. I'll post a starter for her with the new face soon.

Attention all fellow crewmates and Nakamas!! All hands on deck for a crucial announcement!!
It goes without saying, but after the success of OPLA we are receiving an enormous wave of newcomers on this journey who have decided to follow the Straw Hats to the ends of the world same as us before them.
However, they have a long journey ahead same as we had and tons of unbelievable adventures waiting for them beyond the boarders of the East Blue.
So what kind of example would us veterans give to our new recruits if we spoil all the fun for them?
While we may have made it far in the Grand Line, we must remember that most of the rookies are likely still on the way to it where the OPLA left off.
And you know what’s one of my favorite parts about the OPLA experience? Watching people who know nothing about One Piece react and get raptured by the story.
Therefore, I propose that we veterans who are caught up and people who are somewhere in between don’t forget to tag any post they make about anything after the Arlong Park arc with #OP spoilers or #One Piece spoilers or #OPLA spoilers. (And any other tags we may feel are needed)
This way we don’t spoil all the good times (and not so good times) ahead for all the people new to the series. After all, there’s no point in going in a boring adventure is there?
Good travels my friends, there be squalls ahead. ☠️💀☠️
Edit: as a person on the comments pointed out, here’s another warning to the newcomers, there’s an anime special on Netflix that contains a BIG spoiler in the title. So tread carefully and avoid looking at the titles closely (not the best advice I know but I can’t think of something better).
And remember, don’t spoil for other people if you get spoiled or if you get far ahead in the story.
PS: Thanks @freeonthesea, for pointing this out.

Spoilers for Demension 20 Season 5: A Crown of Candy. I'm also just rambling about it.
Queen Carimalinda makes me ill. "I fear that you died thinking I hated you." I'll. I am physically ill. Imagine having a trap set for you, going to fall for it, but seeing your child took it for you. I'll.
Jet was such an influential character. She had a bad feeling about going to the tear away lingerie store. And she went anyways.
Ruby felt like Jet's death was her fault.
Amethar. Oh, my good man Amathar. I love him. "In order to defeat monsters, you have to become one" Lou never misses with Amethar's lines. Never misses.
Liam's grief made him a war guy, but he's not the Amethar Theo type of war guy. He's a sniper. Deadly, distant, devistating. He takes out minibosses in one turn.
Theo, the unfallable, the undrownable, the un-op-able. He would make a wonderful emperor. If he dies I am going to strangle Mulligan.
Cumulus is interesting. I miss Lapin so much, who doesn't, but I am really excited for Cumulus' arc. He's a fun character already, what with all the reckless murder and soul-sucking and what not, but I'm interested in his connection with the hungry one. A junk food, tapping into the Hungry One's powers.
Jets funeral is heartbreaking. I have not watched past this, but I have a feeling it's going from bad to worse? I don't know.
Ps. Cody I am going to start saying "Acoc (a what? EW) posting" out loud.

Sorry I have to shout out to the space. I often see comment from people to not worry about who you reblog from and if anyone has problem with this - it means this person is stupid etc etc .... And when I was new to Tumblr I had a problem when someones revlogs from worrying OP,s . So I saw today that one of mental health positivity blogs accidentally reblogged something from" pro Ed" blog. Do you think that they should check it before and they should care about it or it's normal to not care about who posted it first at all? Ps I'm not talking about your blog it was different blog but I don't remember name now
Hello, dear. The reality of the ever-expanding internet is that we are going to interact with things we don't understand, disagree with, or would normally avoid by accident. Sometimes we don't bother looking at a URL, sometimes we do but no red flags jump out.
My personal opinion is that it's good to keep an eye out for obvious concerns, dog whistles, etc., and avoid them. When however, I accidentally reblog from someone without realizing there is an issue with their blog and someone tells me, I go take a look and if they are right I will delete my reblog.
It is always okay to let me know if I reblog from a pro-ed blog, terf, or anything else concerning.
We cannot stress ourselves so much that we stop at every individual post and examine all possible negative attachments. We should stay aware, compassionate, and willing to grow.
I hope this makes sense!
Best,
Evan

Post-SoTL letters (N.2)
Hello once again. My writing muse came back and gave me this play between Clarice and Hannibal. They mostly talk about music but they obviously mean more than what they write.
(dedicated to my beta reader, @isidoros69 , whose support enables me to write once every blue moon. Also, to my wonderful fandom people! @louisfriend-ironsulfide @lotus-ignis @black-mushroom, @eyaeya111, @liwodot, @ladylshardlakesworld, and to whoever is still around!)
Words: 1965
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Clarice
The view from my window is bringing peace upon my soul, and the pinot grigio accompanied with the artichokes and bottarga salad is only complimenting the scenery. The clouds seem they have engulfed the sky, casting a leisurely but simultaneously melancholic essence of self-discovery. The wind gently shakes the trees and the flowers, the white petals of those flowers in harmony they dance in the wind, floating in the beauty of an invisible river. While gazing the eternal grey world in front of me, the notes of Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 brought an inquiry to my mind. Do you enjoy listening to music, Clarice?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                           With gratitude                                                                                                 Dr. Hannibal Lecter, MD
Dear Dr. Lecter
It seems that in the end, you got what you wanted. There are no bars or cells for you anymore, neither restrictions nor rules. You are free to gaze upon the same sky as I am. Free to indulge in what your soul desires, however wicked or wrong it is, stifling does not suit your persona. The evening sounds pleasing, Doctor. You are the maven of the bon vivant way of acting after all. Given our different upbringing, our music tastes are going to appear completely dissimilar. Yes, I do enjoy some music tunes so I can wind off after a hard day of work (I would mention dancing at clubs but, something tells me they’re not your cup of tea). I’m not a person who pays too much attention to the artists, I listen to whatever feels good to me. Madonna and Whitney Houston being some of them, as well as Michael Jackson and Prince. Cyndi Lauper and David Bowie are also good. Generally speaking, if I like the tune, I will join in. Please don’t hold back on your knowledge about this, I’m certain your mind is like a living library of information. Perhaps you could suggest me composers I would enjoy.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 With Respect                                                                                                     Clarice M. Starling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Clarice
It is of the human nature to seek out for our freedom, regardless of our wrongdoings. Always remember that deep down, even the most altruistic person hides a tinge of egoism. The instincts of survival are primordial, way before humans thought their laws could outlaw the wrath of nature. Never apologise for what you do not know. Only for what you had the chance to know but refused to. Our differences make us unique and seductive, temptation is of the greatest sins for a reason. I never expected the musical literacy of the orphanage to be of high character. Neither of course the cultural heritage you carry could ever lead you to such paths.
One should start small. Try listening to four seasons by Vivaldi. I recommend “autumn” for you. It is the most overlooked piece by the four of them, and yet it perfectly enhances and encapsulates the essence of chase, of hunting. Vivaldi himself had written poems for his compositions. Try reading the poems while listening to the pieces.
“The hunters, at the break of dawn, go to the hunt.
With horns, guns, and dogs they are off,
The beast flees, and they follow its trail”
May the hunt never end indeed
                                                                                                                                                                                                                        With gratitude                                                                                Dr. Hannibal Lecter, MD
Ps. Have you ever looked at a person and wondered how their essence would be convened into music? Because I have. For you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Dr. Lecter
The element of surprise is always present when I’m talking to you. The moment I’m ready to drop the letter on the table, you come back with the most intriguing piece of flattery.
I bought the records you recommended. As for the poems, I had quite a time with the local libraries but all's well that ends well.
Autumn is a limbo between life and death, a bittersweet season, it's not death already but not life anymore.
Doing tasks only for them to be left incomplete, never being able to see the finish line.
But also you can sense the joy, the energy that the hunt is giving to both the hunter and the pray. The thrilling that ambuscades give to two communicating vessels.
But behind all that, one can still feel the merriment of summer and the cautiousness of winter. Perfect blend of seasons.
I listened to the rest of the season on my day off, with a glass of wine on my hand while gazing at the night sky. It was a tranquil evening.
You were right, autumn was my favourite. I hope you are going to recommend me more compositions. As for the hunt it will inevitably end, and we both know the results, Doctor.
“The exhausted beast tries to flee, but dies."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                             With respect
                                                                                        Clarice M. Starling
Ps. Your insightfulness never stops astonishing me. I hope you are going to expand your thoughts a bit further. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Clarice
The path to self-realization finds the impediment of our current mind. Only the conquest of it could lead you to your true self.
I had planned of discussing with you the significance of Mozart in the classicism wave but, a certain… a minor shift to my plans, brought to my attention the representative of Russian nationalism, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Besides, Mozart’s compositions are characterized by a fervent sequence to rules, something which you can put aside if the moment demands for it. Tchaikovsky on the other hand favoured emotional progression, the catharsis of the soul, the joys, loves, and sorrows of the human heart with striking and poignant sincerity.
I believe you would enjoy some of his lesser known compositions. I suggest “Souvenir de Florence”. I listened to it very recently and the breadth of the sound is something which can captivate you.
As for my last thought, it is a tendency that most musicians share. Almost like a personal whim, translating internal emotions into notes and symphonies. The more joy something brings to us, the more music echoes to our ears.
I would be glad to share my speculations about you, but always in exchange. Quid pro quo Clarice.
So please tell me
How would my existence be translated into music, Clarice?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       With gratitude
                                                                             Dr. Hannibal Lecter, MD
Ps. We’ve chatted for so long and yet, I didn’t send my greetings to our old pal Jackie boy. Please dedicate to him Mozart’s “Requiem”, I’m certain his long lost soul is fit for it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dear Dr. Lecter
Thanks to your suggestions, I’ve become a reappearing figure at my local antique shop and even managed to get the vinyls at a better price since “No young people nowadays care about the classics”.
You stand correct once again, I remained motionless throughout the course of the performance. This one I believe fits better to be listened at day, the crystal clear sky mirroring the composer’s will for life.
Regarding your last request, I am afraid that I can not come up with a satisfactory answer for your criteria. I am able to describe people’s actions with words and explain their reasoning behind that but, music was always an uncharted territory for me.
If you could be kind enough to help me on that one, I would appreciate it.
                                                                                                  With respect                                                                                                     Clarice M. Starling
Ps. I’m aware you know of Bella’s deteriorating health but, it is him who takes the toll for both of them. It is almost painful to watch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Dear Clarice
You were doing so fine, following the lead and completing the tasks you were given.
Now the agent came tête-à-tête with an actual challenge and requires the assistance of someone more au courant.
It is clear I’ve asked you to act beyond your training.
Very well, follow my lead and in your next letter try to live up to your name.
When you come to my mind, a plethora of notes burst into my mind, rampant and joyous, sorrowful and cynical.
A feeling of recurring sadness and despair. Occasional, fleeting moments of upbeat melodies feel more like episodes of painfully self-aware mania among a constant bedrock of fear, and pain. A sense of loss that always revives when I listen to it again.
The expression of a broken rage, a lost love, a forgotten memory, a dead rose somehow flourishing, coming all together in a sick melancholy and expression of reasonable insanity.
Reminiscent of the monotony of our daily lives and how little of a choice we have in it, yet can't help being upbeat to an extent with hope.
I find it quite intriguing, the different emotions each of us convey through these majestic chimes. As for me, I sense harmony and merriment.
Words convey understanding that music fails to describe, but music conveys emotion words cannot express.
However it is due to the emotions it releases that our simplistic human minds cannot comprehend nor explain, a conundrum of melancholous, yet peaceful feelings that no music nowadays can do the liberty of replicating.
This is how I see you. Trying to grasp the sinister world around you, but are you ready to feel the icy fingers of terror stroke your heart?
                                                                                                With gratitude
                                                                                      Dr. Hannibal Lecter, MD
Ps. Try closing your eyes and focus on how you would translate each emotion you feel into humming. How does anger sound to you? Quick and loud or rapid and silent? Follow this advice and then you will be able to answer me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Dr. Lecter
Thank you for your insight and leading. It took me some time and a lot of concentration to find an answer worthy enough of writing down but, I’m confident this is it.
When you come to my mind, this mixture of brilliant eloquence and inhuman cruelty deluges it.
The music starts with melancholy. Dark, with hints of sweetness underlying a tone of despair. Intensity rises. Grief makes way for anger, insanity and a welcoming of death's tender embrace. Life has become hell.
Music is now fast. The grasp on reality porous and thin, like butter scraped over too much bread. The light tries to resist, but what little control remains is slipping, struggling to fight back.
 The darkness, emboldened by the chaos, responds in kind, eager to stamp out the last embers of hope.
The darkness has taken root now. The host no longer resists the parasite's will. But within the darkness, there’s a new purpose. The devil might have changed his appearance but he cannot betray his nature.
He plays furiously, boundless now he roams free. His muster unrelenting, devouring. In his wake, only one thing remains… the purest representation of humanity's dualism. The eternal conflict for humanity's soul.
The end is bittersweet, like the aftermath of the self-casted war between spirit and mind with casualties being the human soul.
On the whole, I would say that it is the manifestation of a dance not with someone else but with yourself, you are dancing with your shadow, with your ego, and that makes it special.
Almost inveigling the gazer into taking a place to the dance                                                                                            With respect
                                                                                      Clarice M. Starling
Ps. I can not help myself but picture waltzes whenever I’m listening to my vinyls. Have you ever taken part in this type of dance, Doctor? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Clarice
I must congratulate you for your quick learning, your rapid adaptation to your environment truly will help you survive.
If you ever knew me in my personal life, you would know I never turn down an invitation to dance.
I wholeheartedly enjoyed our conversation but I am afraid I have to put it to an end for now, for I am going on a trip. One should always exercise their body as well their mind. It would also be my pleasure to teach you how to waltz.
It would be the perfect body exercise for the both of us.
                                                                                              With gratitude
                                                                                  Dr. Hannibal Lecter, MD

TRANS SANJI RAMBLE!!
I am an enjoyer of headcanons and WILL and HAVE headcanoned the straw hats and other characters with different/conflicting headcanons bc you wanna know why?? I can make different universes and versions of them bc DAMN a lot of these headcanons are hella good
Though I will say, as an enjoyer of headcanons, I am in a drought of transmasc Sanji stuff <\3 I DUNNO IF IM LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACES OR NOT qwq
+before anyone says, I adore transfem Sanji w all my heart and I am glad she gets the representation bc WOW a lot of people are clever w the stuff they come up will, I really do love it and a lot of you even think of things I would’ve never thought about !! ^o^ jus a little bummed out there’s not as much transmasc Sanji content bc as soon as I saw him on screen I was like “the radar is going off”
ps if you read this far, transmasc Sanji headcanons (hear me out, most likely ooc) (also zosan)
I have been thinking about them SOOO MUCH tbh.. Sanji doesn’t feel 100% while cooking because of cramps?? You bet Zoro will notice and try and help out best he can in the kitchen despite how many times he would get kicked and/or yelled at..
sparring?? Sanji feel miserable and always thinks Zoro is going easy on him so he accidentally blurts it out one time while they are going at it and Zoro is just like “No lmao??” And might reveal smth about Kuina.. and then Sanji cries about it because even in smth like sparring he’s seen as equal to him
I think during WCI (I have not.. watched it yet teehee) while Sanji sees his brothers + sister again they’re all like “what the fuck happened to you” and Sanji is all high guarded about it but says he’s trans and he’s a guy now and they’re all like “oh ok, anyway-“ and it goes on like normal but they respect him (please pleaseeee)
Sanji while he’s with Zeff,, ofc Zeff is like “well now I got an 8-9 year old daughter to take care of” and Sanji doesn’t mind at first because he doesn’t exactly know what he’s feeling but he knows that being called “daughter” doesn’t feel right. I feel like he would discover later on what being trans meant from a frequent customer and he’s all happy because!! Wow he found out!! What best describes him!! And the next time he talks to Zeff he’s all like “so you know that regular we get through the door?” And then tells Zeff and Zeff is all like “well then, I’m happy either way for you, do you want your hair cut or different clothes?”
Running with ideas,, Sanji would probably be scared of taking testosterone/one piece equivalent because of the needles if they didn’t have a gel form. Which is why awhile after chopper joins he asks the little reindeer about it..
I also have a feeling Sanji would be afraid of surgery?? He wants to get top surgery but the idea is SO scary to him,, so he ops for binding,,
Mainly Zoro but also the crew has to remind him to not bind for too long since he can get caught up in cooking, Zoro will ALWAYS ask him to take whatever he binds with off before they spar/fight not wanting to let the cook hurt himself
this is it this is the post (I’m so mentally I’ll)

Omg I was talking with a fellow tumblr user about Ozai and then I realized that the Loser Lord was the embodiment of a traditional saying we have in my country.
"He who wants it all shall not get any of it."
It's interesting how his most powerful motivator (a mixture of greed, pride, wrath, and envy) made him seethe with rage in deep unsatisfaction when many would have been very content with such a high station (except for Azulon being an ass, which was the catalyst of Ozai's descent into his sociopathic megalomania). Yet his thirst for power and recognition were never quenched not even when he finally one-upped Iroh through his plot with Ursa. He just had to want to outdo all of his evil genocidal imperialist forefathers lol. I think it would be nice seeing an analysis if his character through a lense based on the 7 deadly sins.
Through his never ending greed, he ended up losing everything, down to his firebending.
I remember reading an amazing meta where someone thinks that comics Ozai is somewhat OOC because show Ozai was so utterly destroyed when he saw Zuko it seemed he was simply too far gone to try and mess with him anymore. I personally think that this is such a cool take and that the OP's arguments hit the nail on the head, especially in that Ozai knows fully that his ableist heavily militarized country will never ever accept him back after a disgrace far worse than Iroh's post-BSS siege and his new nonbender status. He could definitely start plotting against Zuko after a while maybe, but he'd need Azula more than ever and he'd seek a regent position where he would get to be a puppeteer. His plotting would also be far more "elegant" (read : entertaining to watch) than what happened in the comics IMO.
My personal HC, though, is that dude eventually went catatonic, cementing the energybending as a less than stellar option with logical realistic repercussions, hence why Aang only uses it on Yakkone but not for everyday trouble makers maybe. It would also enrich the plot in that each decision/action has consequences. Sometimes, mercy doesn't come with more pleasant results (i.e : death sentence vs life sentence debate, I think life sentence is far worse than the death because damn what's a fucking life locked up in a teeny tiny cell in a terribly miserable setting esp if one has to do heavy work as a jailbird?), and it's only normal and deserved for the magnitude of Ozai's crimes.
I might be a little dense, but I personally didn't feel that the debending itself was that horrible tbh(since we weren't shown the repercussions like maybe nerve damage ?? Being extra cold ??? Having worse health/chi/whatever than ppl who were born as nonbenders?), like aside from Ozai's insane attachment to it, since I saw cool nonbender characters thrive, I was like "You got off very lightly you jerk...stfu Zuko got it worse losing his face and half of his sight/hearing. I don't want to hear your whining." 🤣
PS: I am not dissing Aang's mercy or trying tl say he wasn't merciful (he is by far so forgiving and kind, he even tried to reason with hell kaiser before fighting him ?? Like what a sweet kid !!). I think he did what he believed was right and his punishment was actually chef's kiss. I just wanted a little bit lore details/a more multi layered approach by authors. I've read some fantastic fanfictions address this side of energy bending, and my goodness, they were excellent.

I am not a fan of Karlie’s. I would be the first person to jump on the band wagon of Taylor with someone else. But it is not reality.
Submission: Honestly SR I applaud your bravery and your honesty. You'd be surprised to know the amount of people who feel exactly the same, but are too afraid to admit it publicly. I also stopped being a fan of Karlie's a couple of years ago. The pandemic and the way she and her family behaved during these horrific times completely changed the way I view her. She became a totaly different person. I can't recognize post-2019 Karlie. She doesn't feel like the person Taylor wrote Rep and Lover for.  I could start listing all the incidents that made it unbearable for me to even look at her, and I tried (pun intended), but it honestly made me feel sick so I gave up. That being said, the Roe v Wade march photo-op with the Kushner will forever be engraved in my memory. This was when I realized there's no end to Karlie's subservience to the Kushner family. She would do anything for them. And she does. She proved it once again yesterday.
The only reason I still support Kaylor is because Taylor is so hopelessly in love with her, and despite all her faults, I truly believe Taylor is a uniquely good and special human being. As long as Taylor chooses her, I'll stand by Taylor choice. Despite wishing it was another.
PS: I'll never buy into Taylor being 100% in on all the Kushner-related decisions Karlie has made and will continue to make. Sure she probably goes along with most of them. After all and despite what she likes to claim, she doesn't keep her side of the street clean, so there's not much room for push back. But there's no way in hell Taylor, who is on her way to becoming a billionaire this year, has no issues and is completely fine with JK being front and centre in her partner's life and playing the baby daddy to her own kids. Lest we forget the IBYTAM mv. That's all Karlie and Taylor simply... goes along.
Besides, Taylor shows remorse - she even wrote a song about it - for the way she treats us. Karlie never does. She only does damage control. By posting eye pics... and open pretzel bags? Spare me.
