Okay you know how last night I said I was coming up with a Hannibal Lisa Frankenstein AU? Yeah well I was telling my mom about it this morning and she was like "Yeah that's cool and all but could you do this instead?" And she pitched a whole NBC Hannibal x Lisa Frankenstein crossover to me and asked me if I would write it for her.
This is freaking hilarious to me for a few reasons:
1. My mom really dislikes Hannigram. It just makes her so uncomfortable how toxic they are, which is actually kinda fair. And I mean, it's also not just them, she doesn't vibe with the show as a whole, but she very much had opinions about how Hannibal and Will would work in this crossover fic idea.
2. My mom is super disturbed by cannibalism, but a whole part of her pitch was about the cannibalism and how Lisa and the Creature might react to it if they had to cannibalize someone.
3. She said Lisa Frankenstein was "cool but not really my thing", so the fact that she was so invested in creating this story for Lisa and the Creature was also a bit mind-boggling.
4. Honestly just the fact that my mom requested that I write a fanfiction for her

This aventio thing made me laugh so I had to share: in the final victor light cone we see both ratio and aventurine wearing different outfits. That means that they *both* used to dress differently before meeting the other, and then, for SOME REASON, after meeting each other and knowing they’d be working closely together from then on and seeing more of each other. They. They *both* simultaneously decided that they *needed* to start dressing sluttier and showing more skin. Both of them added chest windows??? I’m,,,,
Afkagskagska yes I noticed that too, it's so hilarious! One thing about it that makes me laugh too is that's it's Ratio who won the "showing the most skin to impress my crush" contest. I mean, Aventurine went for the chest window + pulled back sleeves to reveal his forearms, meanwhile Ratio opted for windows on his left side in addition to the chest window, AND chose to leave his left arm bare, which just so happens to reveal his well-defined muscles. Honestly I'm just cackling at the idea of him going through the thought process of how much clothing he can forego to catch Aventurine's eye while still looking the part of a respectable searcher. Also, Aventurine would absolutely pretend to the people around him that his sudden change in clothes is part of an ongoing gamble of his, which isn't technically false per se, but he would just let them assume if he's talking about Penacony or another of his IPC assignments, because he sure as hell isn't letting anyone see through his facade. Also now I'm thinking about their second meeting, and how they would both be secretly flustered and trying to discreetly peek at the other's chest window.
As always thanks a lot for the ask, it was really fun to think about the implications behind their new clothes!

Time to do another dramatic reading of our least favourite avatar.
Today, I will be subjecting myself and all of you to the vignette titled "space".
Unfortunately, it's not about the cool space. Which is a shame, because that would have less incest in it.
I wish I was joking.
So we once again start off with a republic city tabloid making the Avatar upset.
That is twice that this framing device has been used, and while this vignette came first, I think Lily needs to come up with a better opener. We can only have Niva read so many tabloids, and getting upset by it, as a framing device so many times before I start to question why Niva keeps reading them.
And because the author has a barely disguised fetish, we get to jump right into the incest using the tabloids as an excuse:
WHO TALKS LIKE THAT TO THEIR SISTER????
If people are reading your behaviour as romantic, to the point that it's getting printed into tabloids, it really makes me question just what you were doing to give off that impression. (We get a good idea of this pretty fast in this vignette.)
If I didn't know they were sisters, I would think they are dating.
Because this is a couple spat.
As for the claim that people can't comprehend sincere devotion without sex, well, if the Avatar and her sister are always touching each other in public in the ways that lovers do, then it isn't the public who is misreading the situation.
Again, this isn't how SIBLING'S talk.
This is how romantic partners speak to each other.
If I can pull this lines out, and show them to a total normie, and they would think this is a couple, then you have written a romance, not a sisterly bond.
And I'm sorry, but if someone is always having their arms wrapped around each other in rather intimate ways, and talking about how devoted they are to said person, then people are going to make assumptions. It's not them misunderstanding what they're seeing or reading too much into it. It's them seeing how too people are acting, and making a conclusion.
Alright, moving on.
Here's a red flag for any relationship:
Our supposedly confident, self actualized Avatar needs an excuse to assert her boundaries.
So either the Avatar isn't actually a confident, self actualized badass like Lily claims, or, her sister has reacted negatively to demands for space in the past, making the avatar nervous about asking for said space without an excuse.
Either way, this is yikes behaviour, and something any other author would explore, but we all know Lily won't explore it.
We then get a little bit about how Niva hate's Republic City because it makes her feel overwhelmed and overstimulated, which if Niva is meant to be on the spectrum, is a nice bit of character building.
We then get them bashing the food in Republic City because it's "corporate" and then Lavi tells her to "just be honest about her need for space", they hug, and we end on this groaner:
Probably the most normal part of this relationship, and guess what?
It sucks.
I think it's the last two lines. They just scream "I need a witty closer".
And that was Space.
I think I need Space from it. 🤣😭
This was another episode in our growing series called "the author's barely disguised fetish". And while I'm certain Lily gets a lot of enjoyment out of subjecting people to it without their knowledge or consent, I do not.
And I went into this knowing exactly what it was going to contain.
To summarize my thoughts on this literal nothingburger of a story...
I don't have any.
Despite being gross because of the incest, it really doesn't actually tell you much about the characters outside Niva feeling like she can't even ask for space from her sister, which would be fine... if Niva wasn't supposed to be a self-confident badass. So now it just reads as problematic, but we all know this will never be addressed.
Honestly, the incest is the only thing that either of those characters have going for them, and that's both parts gross, tragic and hilarious.
Now get out of my house.
