I’ve seen those memes of like “Hannibal vs Hannibal if he had just asked Will on a date” with the second being much smaller

But god can you imagine if season one happened and they were dating, if he had asked Will out in the first one or two episodes? If he wasn’t doing those things to a client/friend but a romantic partner?

-Would it have changed his reaction to Bella and the cancer secret if he now had a romantic partner and that could keep such a secret from him?

-Hannibal’s reaction to Will being too busy for him because he’s going after the Chesapeake Ripper now that it’s not just a patient missing an appointment or a friend not staying to hang out but a romantic partner choosing something (technically also himself) over him?

-We saw how Hannibal reacted when it was possible Tobias killed Will Graham his friend, but if Tobias came in and insinuated he had just killed Will Graham his romantic partner? Hannibal realizing he actually values Will as a friend vs him realizing he values Will as a partner? The “I thought you were dead” scene?

-Hannibal telling Will his job will be the death of him and Will justifying it by saying he’s saving lives and Hannibal snapping back that he doesn’t care about their lives he cares about Will’s life? How much harder it would hit Will?

-Alana in the show saying she can’t be with Will while he’s in his current mental state while Hannibal uses that state to his advantage?

-The reveal that Will has had encephalitis and Hannibal has known and done nothing and is in fact allowing it to worsen? Basically making Will nothing more than a guinea pig and how much worse it is if they’re not just vague sorta friends but actively together?

-Will acknowledging he couldn’t be with Alana because of where he’s at mentally now being him using that on Hannibal and the way Hannibal would absolutely panic at the suggestion? The bad decisions he’d start making?

-Hannibal realizing Will is closing in on figuring out who he is and how this complicates him framing Will? Having to actually make a choice between his freedom and being able to possess Will?

-When Will thinks he killed Abigail and is in jail, he implies Alana is lucky they didn’t get together. What would he say to Hannibal? Would this be him breaking up with Hannibal for his own good? And Hannibal fucking losing it inside at the suggestion?

-Will realizing Hannibal is not only the killer but the person who framed him, the next level of betrayal that would come with that? The conversations between them as Will lets him know he knows and Hannibal tries to hide it?

-And then how it spills into season two, with how in the show Hannibal is trying to maintain a friendship only now he still wants to keep that defined romantic relationship with Will while Will is like “Are you crazy? Obviously this means we’re broken up” and Hannibal turning the “no we’re still friends” act into “No we’re still dating” and how sinister that is?

PART ONE 🦞 PART TWO 🦞 PART THREE

Whewwww!! That was a long one. Very insightful deep dives back into the roots of Stranger Things theory. I've been so entrenched into celeb gossip and speculation and horny headcanons and fic writing that it's fun and useful to take a revisit to some show analysis. This was certainly a thorough venture.

Thoughts:

I don't know enough about It's Always Sunny for the references but if you do, enjoy!

It's always refreshing to see everything listed out - all the sexual references in the show. Sometimes I feel like, am I fixating too much on this subject? Is something wrong with me? But, no. It's a response to the lack of willingness to talk about this stuff in the greater fandom. It's just concentrated here as a reactionary decision. And it's interesting. This is only one aspect of the show - but it's important? As a part of life. And television. And the medium. Coming of age. 80s nostalgia. Supernatural mysteries, of which several are metaphors and allegories for growing up and identity and trauma and sexuality. Analytical discussion validates this.

A call back to the juxtaposed horror of Barb getting killed while Nancy loses her virginity would be a perfect full circle moment for Will and Mike having an intimate scene together. Their lovemaking or whatever the scene would entail would not be paired with something terrible, because we've reached a climatic point in the coming of age arc of the whole show. Nancy's was a loss of innocence, a step too quick perhaps into swiftly leaving childhood. Sleeping with Steve while her childhood best friend was dying. All the while, Will was in the Upside Down, thought to be dead, yet for a greater purpose, even younger than Nancy/Barb, and ultimately another representation of the loss of childhood. A lot of imagery with Will, too. Things forcibly taken. He and Mike - that's a choice. A positive. Down with love and culmination of breaking out of repression. Not having to leave childhood, but but forge forward on the natural progression because it's happening with your childhood best friend.

I'm not sure what would be going on simultaneously in the scene, but I like the acknowledgement of the cinematic inclusion of nature shots to represent intimacy and sex and orgasm, etc, when these elements aren't blatantly shown in some sort of sex scene. Could be onto something there. I've seen great theories and ideas involving Lover's Lake and gates and keys lately where this could play in (see Greenfiend's recent ideas! Shoutout!)

Liked the line in the first part "It's not possible to sexual something that's already sexual" which - absolutely. Agree or disagree, I personally agree. Like it or not - that's puberty.

I don't think I've ever addressed it, but I'm a big supporter of the one way sign theory. Some fans I think have grown weary of over-analysis and getting too caught up in the tiniest of mundane set details (every single instance of certain colors don't all hold meaning, counting ceiling tiles to prove time travel, the arbitrary and slightly slightly anachronistic inclusion of a very small background book or cassette a year too early, etc.) but the one way sign?? Hugely meaningful. Just wanted to acknowledge that.

"It is this tension between disgust and curiosity that allows shame to find its way into the coming of age of every human who has ever lived." 👏👏👏

I'm including this gift of a scene screenshot here because it's always worth looking at again. This sums it all up!! Come on!!

AND - I always forget this one. Hmmmm.

Love the symbolism mentioned I never fully correlated myself which is neat - the painting as a symbol of maturity as well. Color pencil drawings on notebook paper -> oil paintings on canvas. Their relationship as an evolution. "This fight felt more adult. Like one you can't come back from." Childhood, growing up. They can't really come back to the way things were post-painting gifting, van speech. Everything has changed about their dynamic now. "There is a huge sensuality in creating artwork for someone."

I feel like Mike taking the painting like that is the first step into the shifting of the tides. His hesitant acceptance of sexuality through symbolism. Coinciding with hosegate, of course.

Everything on this slide really. I never noticed the drill in the Jonathan / Argyle conversation. This show loves and adores a suggestive visual metaphor!!! So we can acknowledge all of those and not the hose? The HOSE is the most OBVIOUS one.

Actually, everything on this slide as well. Validates WHY someone who is also not a 15 year old finds this story so universally resonating. Cosigned.

"Lover's Lake exists in the show for a reason." - YES. I feel like Chekhov's scenic body of water has been underutilized. Sure, it was a gate in season 4, a hideout for Eddie, but otherwise has cropped up again and again. We've yet to utilize the Lover's namesake. I lean more towards Will and Mike having their consummate moment here more than anything else. Poignant. Thematic. Cinematic. All of the above. There's plenty of storyline opportunity for Will and Mike having to run, to hide, to seek refuge together somewhere. They're attached at the hip, they'll find and escape together somewhere. Cabin at Lover's Lake is where I'm placing my bets for any intimate scene together. "Moonlight on the water at the end of the world." Beautiful, truly.

Will and Mike have always been inevitable:

Closing thoughts and cosigned agreements that stand on their own:

Kara Thrace thought she was going to die after she flew headfirst into the storm. But instead, after her vision goes black, she wakes up in a Cylon ship and everything changes when she realizes why.

As she works on trying to return to Galactica she faces challenges, amongst the Cylons and within her own thoughts as she struggles with her morales and self image. Can she make it back to the life she’s always known, or will she have to totally start over, leaving everything she ever knew and cared about behind?

***

*** (lots of text below):

A teaser for a long fic that has part of it posted today and will be fully posted in chunks by the end of the month! I entered the @galactica-bigbang with this fic to help me finish it and I am so excited and glad to share it with y'all as this is my baby. I have been working on this fic since before I even finished the show back in February. So around a third of a year which is crazy to think. I had honestly been concerned I wasn't going to finish this in time but alas I am going to and I am glad because I love my artists work for this fic as well! It is beautiful and she did an amazing job.

I may go back through and edit this fic to make it flow better, etc. as I'm sure it's not as detailed or edited as I'd prefer but it is mostly finished and that's what matters. And that is a huge accomplishment for me as this will be the first long fic/story period that I have ever completed.

I have an awful habit of starting new projects and writing a little bit then starting another new project. Because of that I have never been able to finish a long fic or story. The closest I got was with a Wednesday fic that currently has around 33,000 words and 24 chapters posted. I hadn't meant to abandon that one as I had really wanted to finish it but I had lost inspiration after I got into BSG and even now still am unsure how I would even want to end that fic. But yeah, the fact that BSG is the first fandom where I have been able to complete a fic over 55k words says a lot. That's how much this show and these characters mean to me, especially Kara and especially Lee and Kara as a pair.

I am super proud of this fic and have enjoyed every second I spent writing it. It means a lot to me and I hope everyone who reads it will enjoy it as much as I have writing it. It's definitely a dark and depressing fic but it's worth it for the ending.

Every time I update it/add chapters I'll make a post here with the link so y'all can stay posted and have easy access! Also there you'll be able to read and check all the tags and author's notes as you'll definitely want to look over those before you start reading. While this fic is my baby and I would love for everyone who loves Kara or Kara and Lee as much as I do to read it, y'all's mental health always comes first so if the fic seems too depressing or dark for you that is totally okay and I understand. So please, I implore you to check tags, etc. first before you commit yourself to reading this, especially seeing as it's long.

Anyway, with all that said, I am so happy to finally share this with you all and I hope everyone who decides to take the time to read it enjoys it ❤️

Silo - The Eleventh Hour

For her sake, I'll burn the world.

Words Yume had spoken to herself like a mantra her entire 7 years of exile. Escaping from Haos' cradle in the chaos caused by those two BSAA agents was a miracle in and of itself. She'd felt her connection to Carla severed long before it, and was acting on final orders.

Burn society to the ground, release Haos upon the world.

Derek would see his precious "order" crumble under her genius, all she had to do was pull the trigger.

But the men the BSAA sent proved to be nearly impossible to kill... She cursed her small and frail frame- Even enhanced by the C virus as it was, she was no match.

So she ran, and took the younger agents gun with her after he willingly infected himself with the enhanced strain. He would die here with Haos, with their great work. She was just putting a perfectly good gun to use.

7 years on, she now finds herself at the precipice of destiny. Reunited with her precious Carla and some other surviving J'avo in Texas, and staring down a celestial event the likes of which she'd never even fathomed possible. As worldly as she was in her human years, she'd never witnessed something so beautifully deadly.

A tri-tailed comet arcing over a total lunar eclipse... and the comet making a rogue turn in the atmosphere to come colliding to earth as an asteroid.

This was a cataclysm in the making. They had thirty minutes to slay their quarry and escape, and the outlook was grim... But Yume had built her entire afterlife on gambling great odds. The fact she lived un-mutated this long was a miracle in and of itself.

Carla speaks

"We likely won't survive this, you're free to escape, but I'm staying to finish the fight."

And the answer is unanimous.

"On your mark, Commander."

I followed you into Hell before, my beloved, and I'll be damned if I go back on my word. I will see your quarry dead.

The sugar cane field is set alight in a brilliant display as Erie, the Napad, throws a grenade into the center of the field. The numerous Plaga hiding within screech and die as the fire starts to spread, creating a perfect battlefield for a final confrontation with the now mutated Oliver Ward- a Televangelist infected with a dominant strain of Plaga. They had targeted him in the sugar mill before, and the hope was to take him out there with unrelenting force, but his near death stirred the parasite within, and mutated him into a gargantuan spider that proceeded to roam right back to its nest: The Faithpoint Chapel.

Their approach is covered by the screeching and roars of the zombie civil war happening outside (C-zombies vs. Ganado) and the room-shaking humming within the chapel originating from Olivers gargantuan form...

And then all hell breaks loose as Oliver orders his flock to attack.

The ragtag group of 6 versus hundreds of mutated Plagas.

The battle raged quickly, the Plagas dropping to the 6 J'avos superior resistance, speed and strength. Things quickly became dire as the smaller plagas spiders came out of the woodwork, trying to infect the J'avo with the self same parasite, and most did not succeed, being swatted out of the air or caught by the flames of Carlas Incendiary grenades. They made short work of the bigger lumbering mutations, and were even joined by multiple C-zombies from outside- Including an El Gigante class giant that the group had somehow managed to infect prior to the final confrontation, who immediately went to work fighting Olivers gargantuan form.

Things quickly turned in their favor... Yume was forced to move from her sniper perch, and was forced into the fray, quickly being mobbed by Plagas spiders. Her small frame made it easy to dodge, but one clever creature managed to land on her back, and she screeched as she felt it's tendrils dig past her suit and into the skin beneath.

Time stood still for her as the realization kicked in- She was going to become one of them if she didn't do something drastic.

"You WILL NOT TAKE ME."

She grabs the spiders foreleg, and fighting against it's attempt to control her, she made her way over to Olivers titan form, grabbing onto it as well and finally reaching up to use the backpack she had become so accustomed to wearing- A device that would end her life, and leave her to be born anew.

Wires with needles erupt from the backpack, and stab right into her neck, slitting her throat, and causing a massive scene. Her body catches fire, and she becomes cocooned in the telltale chrysalid, taking the spider with her and halting Olivers movement for a short time... And then it cracks.

And with an ear-piercing roar, she emerges from the cocoon, reborn as a Strelac.

Carla goes down, and she's quick to barrel through the chaos to her commanders side, putting her on her back and immediately turning to Oliver, sinking her powerful jaws into the titans foreleg and ripping mutated flesh from mutated bone. Damascus, a Centipede-like mutation, burrows into the titans skin and proceeds to wreak havoc upon its internal systems, Vortex, an Ubivisto, runs along Olivers carapace, dragging their chainsaw arm through its tough hide and ripping it apart as they go. Ebajalg, a hive of Gnedzo, uses their shell to claw, rip and tear into Olivers already bleeding flesh, and Erie does what he does best- Smashing his fists into whatever soft spot he can reach.

Yume joins in the carnage with a brand new arsenal- Acid spit to melt flesh, and firing shards of bone from her newly acquired frills.

The entire chapel is shaking from the asteroids imminent arrival, and Olivers death throes scatter the group. Yume is thrown backwards, but digs her newly acquired claws into the rotted wood, her only objective in that moment to guard Carla until she came too- And she does, just in time to notice a cache of weapons that had gotten knocked loose from the wall.

Picking up a rocket launcher, she's quick to deliver the final blow into Olivers eye in an explosive finish.

The spider finally stops moving, and they don't even have a moment to collect themselves in the aftermath. Carla climbs upon Yumes back as if she's a mount, and gives a final order.

"Survive, and make your way back to me if you wish, but above all- SURVIVE."

And the group scatters to the winds. Damascus burrows into the earth as far and as fast as she can, and Vortex follows after her. Erie goes straight into the river, following it until he reaches the gulf of mexico. Yume carries Carla out into the yard, where she commandeers one of Olivers supercars. Bringing Ebajalg- Now outside of their shell- with her into the car, they all speed off away from Silo as fast as their wheels and feet will carry them.

Yume falls far behind the speed of the car, but she's fast enough to escape. Because of C's nature, she'll always know where Carla is, and she follows that signal all the way to Atlanta, GA. Cloaking herself in chromatophores and rendering herself perfectly invisible, she's careful to avoid bumping into humans, eventually making her way to an old Hotel. The car is there, and Carla is higher up, which means they all made it out safely. She can also sense the child that they had saved as well, meaning they retrieved her from the merchants intern.

Good...

She can rest in this back alley behind the hotel, the danger has passed.

Silo is no more, but the Plagas hunt was successful. Life will be strange, but as long as Carla lives, she'll always be there at her side.

Loyal handmaiden, descending into hell to be reborn twice- as a demon, then a monster- all to serve her beloved commander.

May all who stand in her way burn.

Insomnia is letting up off and on, but I'm still super jelly brained from it case in point, I want to continue back with posting WIPs for the aired pages, but I can't remember what page I left off on now lmao (guess I'll have to dig through my blog to check... eesh. at least it's decently organized by tags?) Not a result of goo brain, really, but equally "AUGH" is that I let my screen protector go for too long without replacing it and now it's slick as snot and I don't have a replacement handy to put on it. This isn't a resulting consequence of goo brain but it does mean I'm going to be trying to draw without any traction while I'm already loopy. Good times ahead!

I woke up at 3am again and I'm not able to get back to sleep for the life of me 🙏🏼 SO!!! I have a proposal in mind hihi

how would we feel about an mha actor!au smau?? 🙋🏻‍♀️

"being a romance movie director meant you knew all about the clichés, plot twists, and narratives that could happen in them. you knew how to handle and execute them in films, so why were you clueless on what to do when anonymous love letters were constantly scattered around set and addressed to you?"

and yk all the stuff about "actor x actor relationships are a pain to manage by their pr teams, but what if it was an actor x director relationship?" OK???

if ever I do this, I think it'd be clear who the character I do this with will be hihi

[mistress-of-malevolence]

📖 its me again 😈 do u mayhaps have any more ideas,,,

Sure do!~ here's a few more!

1: (Untitled) A Red Son x Reader LMK arranged marriage/rivals to lovers where Princess Iron fan and DBK are unconfident in their son's ability to do anything right- including finding a spouse worthy of carrying on their great family line. so, they pick one for him. you are the finest soldier in the demon bull corps; smart, strong, capable- you have never failed an assignment, and that's not about to change anytime soon. they assign you to their son's side so that you can grow closer under the guise of you being his aid in attempting to retrieve the monkey king's staff- killing two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, you aren't exactly Red Son's biggest fan, finding his haughty attitude beyond irritating. this wasn't fair to either of you, like hell you would let it go forward. Since Iron fan and DBK hadn't told their son what they were up to or straight-up forced him to tie the knot with you, you guessed that they wanted him to choose you of his own free will- something you are certain would never happen. Your plan was to put everything you had into getting that staff back and absolutly nothing into getting red son to like you. Of course youll have to fake some sort of repour when prying eyes are watching otherwise the jig is up and your bosses will find out your disobeying orders. But it should be fine, your confident that you can manage. You can beat up one measely deleviery boy. You can tollerate Red son for as long as you need to. You can get him to cooperate with the neritive without clueing him in. You wont lose.

2:(Untitled) A Micheal Afton x OC FNAF. Ronnie moves in with her grandparents after getting kicked out of her old school for getting into a bad fight with the principals daughter. she hates it. she liked her old school and her old friends just fine, most of all she liked her old house. but she doesn't have must of a choice in the matter, her mom cant drop everything to drive her two hours every morning with her hospital jobs hours, so moving in with her grand parents who live within walking distance of her new school is the next best thing. her first night in town, she goes boarding and accidentally knocks some guy off a bike. they don't make a great first impression on each other, but they'll have to learn to get along as long as they're classmates. the more time they spend together, the more they begrudgingly realize they have in common. this leads to a lot of rivalry, fighting and an unrealized awkward tension between them. also, they meet right before Even/CC dies so... yeah :) angst. :)

3:(The Right Path) a Laard Nar x Navigator Invader Zim fic where Nav saves the massive from sailing into the Florpus at the last second by going against the Tallest's command. everyone lived! however, the tallest we not too pleased with his disobedience. so, they had him thrown in a holding cell and scheduled for a Pak wipe. of course, having literally been born to pilot the massive, he knew the ship like the back of his hand. he escaped to a random planet on a stolen voot cruiser. on that planet he wanders, until he comes upon Resisty HQ by complete coincidence.

BONUS! 4: (All Hail Queen Bee!) a Miraculous Ladybug Re-write/Fix-it where Chloe gets to keep the bee miraculous and her character development because I'm bitter & petty. i... i could give a run down about it but there's just so much and yet not nearly enough to talk about. if i tried, id just end up ranting, it honestly needs its own post but i just wanted to let ya know it exists in my brain.

Saw ur bio, tell me about ur interests NOW

Oh god fuck I wasn't prepared for this

Pathologic 2 takes place in a small town on the steppe only referred to as the Town on the Gorkhon River, or simply "the town." The culture of the town is a fusion of 20th century technology and architecture with ancient steppe culture and traditions, which bring about customs that greatly affect the course of events in the town. Though the exact location and date are never mentioned, it is very heavily implied by character dialogue and environment clues that the game is set during the Russian Civil War.[6][7]

The world of Pathologic 2 leans heavily into the surreal, meta-commentary and symbolism, frequently making discerning what is fiction and what is "reality" difficult. The events in the town are framed as a play in the style of Bertolt Brecht's "epic theatre," where the player is an "actor" "playing the part" of the player character. The player's "reality" often comes into contact with this framing, with theater-like elements such as spotlights, "scene changes" between day and night and a disembodied stagehand-like voice appearing intermittently throughout the game. At certain points, such as during plays performed in the town's theater or after the player's death, the player encounters the mysterious and supernatural theater director Mark Immortell, who is often critical of the player's "acting" and frequently breaks the fourth wall, referring to the game's development, referencing the mechanics and inner workings of the game's systems and referencing events or aspects from the original Pathologic, both contextually and literally.[8]

The protagonist of the game is a surgeon named Artemy Burakh, also known as the Haruspex. The game begins at the end of a previous, seemingly failed run, on 'day 12' of the first Pathologic. The town is nearly empty, filled with bodies and the sounds of screaming. Artemy speaks to various characters and makes his way to the Cathedral, where he is able to speak to the mysterious theatre manager, Mark Immortell, and requests a 'second attempt'. This is granted, and time resets to the prologue of Artemy on a train, travelling to the Town. The player controls Artemy through a series of strange dreams and visions. Through dialogue with a character known as the 'Fellow Traveller', it is revealed that Artemy was born and raised in the town but has not been back in many years. His father, Isidor Burakh, is the local physician and a leading member of the Kin, the native inhabitants of the steppe. He sent Artemy to the capital as a teenager to gain an education in medicine, but has now requested that he return, stating that 'great difficulties' are coming.

Upon arriving in the town, Artemy is greeted by three locals who try to kill him. In a cutscene, he kills the attackers. Nearby strangers in plague doctor suits tell him that the locals suspect him of killing an important resident of the town and that the attack on him was an act of revenge. It is soon revealed that, in fact, two people have seemingly been murdered. The first is Simon Kain, a prominent leader of the town who had previously been assumed to be immortal; the second is Isidor.

Artemy is suspected of patricide and attacked by many of the townspeople, who have been driven to unusual violence. Young women are targeted in particular due to old steppe legends of a 'Shabnak-adyr', a creature with clay legs who brings death. A local gang of children known as the 'Soul-And-A-Halves' request Artemy's assistance with finding a boy who poisoned their dogs, while an old friend of his known as Bad Grief requests assistance with an injured local man. The leader of the town's economy and industry, a powerful man known as 'Fat Vlad', vouches for Artemy, and his innocence is restored.

At his father's funeral, Artemy discovers that his father died of a strange stab wound. He is urged to accept his father's legacy as a menkhu, a special caste of Kin folk with the right to cut open bodies. In doing so, he is given a list containing the names of seven local children, plus a strange steppe sigil that he is told means 'udurgh'. He learns that these are the children his father felt would be most important in 'rebuilding the town', and must be kept safe at all costs. Signs of an outbreak appear in the village, including a strange rot on the sides of buildings and a black cloud in his father's old bedroom. A plague known as 'Sand Pest' strikes the town, killing people within a day of infection and leaving the districts abandoned and rife with looters.

Artemy is required to perform daily tasks at the hospital in exchange for food and money, as food prices rise rapidly once the outbreak hits. It is revealed that the Sand Pest has hit the town once before, and Isidor managed to curb the outbreak by boarding up the infected district and leaving all those within to die. He encounters a young Herb Bride - a caste of Kin women who dance barefoot to encourage the growth of sacred herbs such as twyre - who seems to know him, and eventually tells him he is destined to kill her. Artemy is able to use his father's old equipment to create tinctures that increase immunity, and later use organs or blood to produce antibiotics and painkillers. He collects sacred blood from a crack in the ground in an ancient steppe village, and finds that this produces a panacea that cures Sand Pest; however, there is only enough blood for two doses.

An Inquisitor, Aglaya Lilich, arrives in the city. She has been sent to save the town at any cost, and Artemy is warned by others that Inquisitors are inherently manipulative and dangerous. He continues to search for larger amounts of sacred blood, eventually learning that the only way to get enough to stop the plague is to destroy a tower known as the Polyhedron. The mysterious 'udurgh' refers to the Earth itself, which is leaking out the sacred blood due to being repeatedly harmed and nearly killed by the Town's presence. Destroying the Polyhedron will produce enough of this blood to cure everyone, but kill the Earth in the process, causing many of the 'miracles' of the world - including many aspects of the Kin - to fade and die. It is up to the player which option they choose: either the tower is destroyed and the town is saved, or the tower remains in place and the Kin retake the Town.
