Alright guys I’m a sheep so ima do this too

Send in teases that you think would fluster me >:3

Fun fact you’ll fail <3 /j (9/10 I get to 100%)

pls talk about the shelf

i was desperately hoping someone would ask me to rant abt it akehdjshd i'm kissing you sweetly on the forehead anon

okay so if anyone sees this out of context: i have a shelf in my bookcase dedicated to hannibal. yes it's kind of like a weird little shrine but leave me alone.

be warned this is going get LONG.

so, it has the obvious: the hannibal books, the tv show box set, the tv show's cookbook, my fancy copies of the divine comedy (they're hardcover with gorgeous sleeves that have art printed on them to match each book), and i also have the iliad and the odissey in there in a single big book that i bought on a whim when out once and then after buying it i found out it also had the original greek alongside the italian translation and i lost my mind. i've never felt such pure joy and i can't even read greek. yet.

as for decorations, as of right now there's a piece of driftwood that is kinda shaped like an L so it stands up on its own and it also kinda resembles an antler.

there's this fuckin box, i don't even remember how i got it, but it's made of bones. it's shaped kinda like a stereotypical treasure chest but it's literally made of bones. the inside is lined with red velvet.

i'm not sure what else to decorate with? i've put in a seashell but it can't even be seen because the shelf has glass doors but the shell is covered by the frame (might move everything to another shelf where the frame is not in the way tbh just so i can decorate with tiny things at the front).

i just moved this whole thing from my other bookcase (i just got this new one today because i have too many books and in my first bookcase the shelves are literally bending with the weight of the books piled up on them) and when it was there i also had a teacup in there along with a lighbox that says "bone saw time! 🖤" but this new shelf feels very elegant and there's also not enough space for the lightbox. i also had a bust of dionysus there but i'm going to move it to my dionysus altar.

i've got an old scalpel somewhere too and i'll try to find a visible spot to put it. i also have 3 tiny japanese plates that were all given to me as gifts and some souvenirs from japan from a friend too but idk if i wanna put japanese stuff in there. like it's fitting but at the same time idk if it's disrespectful or not.

if i had money and more space i'd make this whole thing bigger and get like. a little frame with fly fishing lures like the ones will made in the show and maybe something like some ethically sourced taxidermy. a snake skeleton and a mongoose skull would be really cool. maybe i could print out a little something with lures instead of buying real ones and like. a fake death's head hawkmoth taxidermy. i'd need some of those shadowbox frames and i'd make it so the pictures stand out a bit from the back so it looks like they have shadows. bc like i'm fairly certain real death's head hawkmoths cannot be ethically sourced at this point in time because ever since silence of the lambs came out people have started going insane over them.

i think my grandpa has this framed thing somewhere with sailing knots made with actual ropes in it rather than just pictures. haven't seen it in ages so i'm not sure anymore if it was my grandpa's or someone else's. probably my grandpa since he was in the marines when military service was mandatory in italy but idk maybe i saw it somewhere else. i could print out a small picture with various illustrations of sailing knots.

i also have these cards that my aunt gave me at one point that have prints of a lot of famous paintings with descriptions in the back and i THINK one was the primavera. it was either that or the birth of venus i'll have to check but either way there's at least one botticelli in there. i don't like botticelli much tho so 🤷

i plan at some point to also get physical copies of all the movies but idk when that'll be since i've found a different box set for the tv show with gorgeous covers that i plan to buy as well. also of the ones i currently own i think one of the dvds stopped working bc it got scratched while inside my pc because i was pausing and rewinding/forwarding too much. we'll see i guess.

now for the rest of the books. i have a medical book in there called the abc of the human body. i think the title is kind of hilarious for a hannibal shelf. i just found out today while moving books back and forth from one bookshelf to the other that i actually have two copies of this book and one of them was owned by a doctor that died i think like 15 to 20 years ago. i have a few other medical books that said doctor also owned on the shelf above. he also owned the scalpel i mentioned before.

there's the book skulls by simon winchester, which is a collection of pictures of skulls from one of the biggest skull collections in the world, along with a few inserts on biology if i remember correctly? i originally bought it for art references and i LOVE the cover so i made sure it was facing forward in the shelf.

there's the resurrectionist, which is a sci-fi/fantasy book kind of in a frankenstein-esque vein where the main character is this made up doctor who manages to make some mythological creatures through surgery & digging up dead bodies and i won't spoil it any further. the second half of the book is a whole bunch of medical/biology style illustrations of said creatures, their skeletons, their muscles, how certain parts of their bodies would function (for example i believe it goes into explaining the lungs for both mermaids and harpies). i don't think it quite fits thematically with hannibal but i think it's got The Vibe so i put it in there.

there's a book on saint lucy, who is the patron saint of sight. i have it because i was born with my skull being asymmetrical and the doctors immediately told my family it would likely cause problems with my eyes, and so instead of, you know, starting to take me to eye doctors from a young age, they swore me to saint lucy and left it at that. i'm likely going to go blind on my left eye at some point in my life btw lmao thanks st lucy <3 i do like her though. i like her iconography a lot, she's always portrayed as holding a plate with her eyes on it.

there's damien by hermann hesse, which is one of my all time favourite books. it's written in first person and it starts with emil sinclair's childhood, explaining that he sees the world in a very black and white way, and does so very literally because he speaks of the world of light and the world of darkness, which are kind of meant as good and evil. but then something happens to him that starts blurring the clear line he thought was between the two, which sends him into a moral panic until he meets max demian, who starts to make him see that there's more to both sides. the story as he grows up follows his "corruption" into someone who is neither good nor evil. it has a lot of implied homoeroticism, as it was written i think either in the 20s or the late 1800s so it couldn't be explicit but it is very much there and is expressed mostly through demian's mother. there's also a weird cult thing going on and the ending is a bit ??? and honestly i need to read it again because for such a short book SO much happens that i'm having a hard time summarising it accurately.

the only other books i remember being there rn (it's 1am i'm not turning the lights on again) are dracula, because cannibal/vampire count with a big castle, the butchering art, and les fleurs du mal, plus two other books written in french that i haven’t read yet because my french isn't the best, whose titles i don't remember rn, and one in italian that i've found at a used books stall once but i believe it's from a local author and i've never seen it in a bookstore nor online so there's definitely no english translation of it. i still haven't read this one either and i don't even remember what it's about, it might be a poetry book? not quite sure. but yeah these few ones i haven’t read are there like. on trial. if i read them and find them fitting they'll stay otherwise they go to another shelf. i also haven’t read les fleurs du mal nor the butchering art yet, so the same applies to them. i think that's all of them? i plan to put my art history books and regular history books on the shelf above as well next to the medical books to kind of carry the theme over lol.

i would like to maybe someday get some of the books that we've glimpsed from the bookshelves on the show but this is it for now!

anyway. tysm for asking me about it dear anon. you said but a few words yet they meant the world to me <3

Trying to get into university and seeing all the entrance scores go up in March be like:

If the PM had somehow been the primary target of all of these plots instead of the ADA I firmly believe half of the situations could have been solved with Kajii. I understand he isn't popular but listen there is a reason he is who they pull out first with a hat trick when shit gets real.

Lord above I hope that Porter and Treasure is a healthy relationship… I’m already too attached bro.

We may not have E6 Sunday but we have Ai who hates drawing clothes

the way some if yall write MC makes me want to bang my head against the wall. YOU are THEIR MASTER girl ONE MASTER TO RULE THEM ALL thats YOU get off the ground girl the floor is DIRTY

gives you a.... what, tim? a thrill? sb can take apart anything he touches, huh. wanna see that in action some more?

Anyone open to helping me decide on some vampire lore for a story

Mainly if the vampires will actually be able to stand sunlight. As in like "oh we just hid cause we look clearly inhuman in the light, but now that vampires are public knowledge fuck it we can go out if we'd like! On this sunny day!" (I'm picturing like Interview with The Vampire looks where u get them under florescent light or any light too bright and its clear their eyes are different, that they got fangs and nails like claws, that their eyes aren't quite like humans, that kind of Uncanny Valley look that's more noticeable the brighter it is)

Or as in the sun does burn them, its not just that they'd give away they're vampires in the bright lighting. Like vampires be burning up if they go out into direct sun.

Or something in between like Angel the Series kind of played with, that indirect sunlight like a cloudy day or inside a building with the windows open during the daytime is fine, just no direct sun rays straight down from sky into vampire skin or they catch fire and burn more the longer exposure lasts. (So a vampire could go out on a cloudy day, or with an umbrella or hooded coat and gloves, could run to shade quickly if they Had to dash through sunlight).

(Other things that'll kill vampires for Sure in the story: burning them - they're extremely flammable, stake in the heart or head cutting off, so the usual)

love the internet. person sees items that don't claim to be handmade. goes "ANGRY!!! these are NOT handmade!!!" but not in a fact-stating way. in a 'revealing the truth' kind of way. honey we know the not-handmade things that aren't advertised or described as handmade by anyone are not handmade. people can read

Yeah it's always in a "gotcha!" way, as though it isn't like ?? openly stated everywhere. They also mentioned the "half-dozen jobs" me & my bf do for the business, which means they read the About Us page on my site, which means they would've seen two of the jobs I list for myself are " project management" and "manufacturer communications", sooooo yeah.. This is also the same sort of thing with the way some people will just be like "it's polyester!!!!! you all should know I can tell it's polyester!!!", like yeah... all the listing descriptions say that.. it's not a secret....? (Also tho with this last person in particular they were in the tags about how they'd never take issue with handmade prices as though $50-70 would be acceptable if they were handmade and omg don't even get me started on how unrealistic that part is too. Plus before the clothing took over, I used to sell handmade amigurumi crochet plushies at cons and on Etsy as my full time work so I know all about the realities of handmade.. and 1) it was not sustainable, there was little profit to be made even with high prices, and I broke my body multiple times to try to produce enough to make a living. 2) This was the exact type of person that would pass by my table at a con and snear at my prices and then say something like "I could make this myself for $5")

Bat!Steve waiting for his eyesight to leave in terror only to find one day that now he can sense infrared?? One of the kids comes over in winter and he's just like !!!! You're cold!!!! Which is a death sentence for bats so they need to come in right now and get under the many many blankets Steve has pilled up on the couch. (Honestly vampire bat behavior is low-key adorable. If one notices another is starting to go hungry they literally will feed them.)

NOOOOOOOO this just got fluffier 😭😭 just Steve trying to pile blankets on the kids and them just being *confused* as to what's happening but also loving how warm Steve is making everything.

he's already a mother hen before all the vampire bat caring so being a vamp bat just intensifies his need to care for his family.

Hey guys guess what.. it’s my birthday!

Thank you all for the support on this blog, I love all of y’all so very much <3

why are modern phones like this. when did this fucking happen. why is every single fucking app the manufacturing company is paid to install called a system app. call it a sponsored fucking app you pieces of shit. a system app is the fucking settings and the other stuff that allows me to run the damn phone not a fucking news app that i'm never going to fucking use.

like i'm pretty sure at some point in android's history you could just up and uninstall anything you set your mind to. i think at one point i almost tried to uninstall the android system itself from one of my phones just to see what would happen. i didn't do it because i knew i'd be fucked if i did it, especially because i didn't know how to install a system on it again, but the option was there. i may have rooted that phone--i don't remember--but still it only had the basic apps you needed to run it, the damn thing didn't even have a file manager.

and now i can't uninstall a news app.

said news app is nowhere to be found in my phone even if i use the search function in the app drawer btw, so i wouldn't know it was there unless i went into the settings or the store. i have no fucking clue what it is actually doing in my phone except taking up space & probably spying on me to sell my data. like i know i can go and manually disable it and uninstall all the updates but i can't fucking remove it completely and that BUGS me.

every day i'm so tempted to get a nokia brick but then i wouldn't be able to look at my silly little pictures and chat with the little people in my phone and those are the only things keeping me from going insane

I have completely given up in life and I’m gonna replace the emptiness in my life with toxic old man yaoi

ok now back to finishing my durge run

Saw your tags-- I now desperately want a parody of XF... oh, well, at least there was the Jimmy Kimmel skit. They were more in-character there than the rest of the Revival (which amuses me.)

They really were 😂😂 bless Jimmy Kimmel

I would just DIE if they made a parody. I really want them to make an appearance on What We Do in the Shadows. Mulder and Scully travel to Staten Island bc Mulder has gotten a lead on some suspicious, possibly vampire activity. Scully rolls her eyes as usual but tags along. They get to the house see the camera crew and like with XCops Scully is HIGHLY agitated at the sight of them. They meet the WWDITS vamps and of course Scully is like Mulder those teeth aren't real they are part of some sort of vampire kink society and they probably got their teeth filed down. They turn into bats in front of Scully and she thinks it's some sort of shadow trick 🤣 also Laszlo would be all over both Mulder and Scully and I really NEED to see that.
