I know a lot of people like to hone in on Sylus' more dominant and teasing side, and while I do love those aspects of him what I really really love is the softer side of Sylus that he only shows to you. ♡

The Sylus that avidly listens to everything you say, drinking you in with with a dopey little grin on his face as you fill him in on everything and anything happening in your life. The Sylus that lets you decorate his chic and mature office with all the plushies you have won together from the claw machine, looking at them fondly as if they were great treasures you have scored. The Sylus that will gladly wear stupid matching kigurumi's with you in public and have fun doing it, reputation be damned. The Sylus who absentmindedly plays with your hair while you are sitting together on the couch watching a movie, sighing in contentment as his long fingers massage your scalp. The Sylus who has memorized all your favorite foods and works hard to come up with new recipes to delight you based of what he already knows you love. The Sylus who's hugs completely engulf you, squeezing and holding you like a lifeline, almost as if he's afraid to let go. The Sylus who stays glued to your side until you fall asleep each night, even though you know his day has hardly begun and he has more important things to be attending to-you always take precedence. The Sylus that wants nothing more than to see you happy and thriving, and will do whatever it takes to make that a reality.

He truly makes me weak. (╥﹏╥)

my initial knee jerk reaction to lucanis/spite saying "family, enemies, contracts" was bad because it felt like an oversimplification but actually thinking on it i really love that lucanis forces himself into this box to make things make sense in his life. family is unconditional, enemies are to be killed, but contracts is so. interesting... man who promises mila that he will find her father because he does not fail contracts. the same man who tells effe that he will kill her slaver because he needs to turn her from a poor young woman that he sympathises with, into someone he can make a deal with. it's not kindness, it's not weakness, he's just fulfilling a contract, and crows don't break contracts. if he kills a bunch of racist blood mages during that process, then he's not breaking the rules, just bending them. a very convenient excuse to be a good man while still being a crow and assassin. and of course when spite is forced into him, he gets out of it with something familiar! by making another deal! something he could work with, something he HAS to work with, because being just an abomination is unthinkable. if he can work himself out of this problem like he's done with every other contract in his life, in his mind maybe there's some tiny chance that this becomes another job that he can claw his life back from.

[gotchibam]

Heyo! Sorry for the sudden lack of updates ;-; I got a bit of momentum last week working on my backlog so I was able to finish quite a lot of pieces already :'D (around 18 maybe? yay meee 🥹)

Had to work on the easier ones first tho so they won't be in order according to the queue, but I promise I won't skip any requests! They'll be posted soon over the next few days ☺️

I still need to work on updating & getting back to ppl but on the other hand, I've also been able to work and finish a bit more stuff now so it makes me feel pleased & happy! ;w;

Also I did mention abt streaming last week so I'll try to do that soon while working on the latest batch of comms! Maybe later when I get back home or tomorrow morning (🇵🇭 time), we'll see 🤔

Thank you sm again for your patience & support, I truly appreciate it! ;w; <3

"So, will he? Has se mentioned anything yet?" Jimmy asked.

"No but I am sure he will." Jack replied. "I even told Bella not to make any plans."

"I need to remind you that Thanksgiving is in less than three days. Stop being delusional. Or at least, ask Will about it." Beverly suggested.

"It's really easy for you, isn't it?" Brian walked into the lab. "No annoying relatives to run away from? If anything, the Thanksgiving meal is a ticking bomb more than the Christmas one."

"All it takes is for someone to pronounce the word "elections" and it's over." Jimmy agreed. "Wouldn't be bad to have a nice fancy quiet dinner."

"Then, again. Ask Will. But Hannibal would have said something until now, I'm telling you." Beverly insisted.

The three men disagreed but indeed decided that checking their suspicions with Will was the best option. That is why, when he walked into the lab, all eyes were on him.

"Good morning?"

"What is Hannibal doing on Thursday?" Brian asked and got not-so-subtly elbowed by Jimmy.

"What day even is today?" Will asked as he took of his coat, a bit confused by the question.

"Monday. Last Monday in November." Jack said and the others nodded. Beverly rolled her eyes in the background but watched the interaction regardless.

"I don't know. Isn't he coming here later today? You can ask him in person?" Will replied, remaining oblivious to the point of their question.

"Let me clarify this for their sake." Beverly joined. "Is Hannibal hosting Thanksgiving? Jimmy and Brian are running away from their relatives and Jack is running away from his wife's food...and from his mother in law."

Many unfriendly glares fell on Beverly.

"I don't know." Will answered innocently.

Disagreement noises followed immediately, all of them trying to argue with Will as if it was his fault.

"How so? Dr. Lecter likes this kind of things. It even has a cultural background that he can build on. And he doesn't have to make sweet potatoes with marshmallows." Jack insisted.

"I think the sweet potatoes with marshmallows are what made him decide against. It's an abomination." Jimmy said.

"No idea." Will lied, making everyone in the room keep debating reasons why Hannibal would not host the Thanksgiving dinner.

Should he warn Hannibal about this ambush? Should he just watch it happen? It would be hilarious to just watch it all unfold.

**

When Hannibal walked into the forensics lab, the same thing from earlier happened. All eyes were on him, which Hannibal did not mind and did not find peculiar at all. When the eyes remained glued on him however, he had to make a remark.

"Good morning. It seems like it's an urgent matter, may I look at the case file?" Hannibal said as Will handed it to him. The next second, Jack pulled the file away from Hannibal's hands.

"How are you celebrating Thanksgiving?"

Hannibal sighed. All eyes were on him. The expression on his face was daunting. The only one in the room who was enjoying the show was Will who gestured to Beverly to come next to him.

"I was planning to invite all of you over. However...My father-in-law invited me and Will to Louisiana."

"You could have said "no", doctor. You don't want that. Look at me running away from my mother-in-law."

"I apologize to everyone in the room. I could not refuse the invitation."

"You could have." Will finally spoke. "But you can't stand the fact that he doesn't find you perfect."

"There you have it." Hannibal said.

"Woah." Jimmy said. "Listen, doctor. I've been married for 20 years now. Your in-laws will never like you. It's a rule. Just accept the way things are."

"Hannibal is just being dramatic. My father doesn't even dislike him that much. Which is a lot coming from him and probably the best he will obtain."

"We didn't even have enough time to get to know each other. Besides, I will get to see your childhood home."

"There is nothing in that sentence that makes me look forward to this but I accepted for both of your sakes."

"So no nice quiet fancy Thanksgiving dinner?" Brian asked, just to check.

"I'm afraid not." Hannibal replied, second thinking his options. "What is with that look on your face?"

"Me?" Will asked as his grin became even more prominent. "You will have to see."

something ive read, and then seen people like txttletale talk about; being a marxist isn't just about rattling off a parroted opinion, but developing a framework utilizing diamat to consistently come to a correct conclusion. identify the primary contradiction, etc.

obviously it is a practiced skill, but how would you say is one of the better ways to practice building that framework?

You are completely right! Marxism is not a dogma, but an philosophical framework for analyzing, criticizing and overcoming wage labor and the system that upholds it. As exposed by Lenin in The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism (it's a great book and a short read, highly recommend), "Marxism is a continuation of the teachings of the greatest representatives of philosophy, political economy and socialism [...] German philosophy, English political economy and French socialism". What marxism is, is the logical continuation of these three components; from German philosophy grows dialectical materialism (read: Theses On Feuerbach), from English political economy grows the description of how capitalism works (read: Capital), and from French (utopian) socialism grows scientific socialism (read: Socialism: Utopian and Scientific)

Instead of, for example, just memorizing how reformism is bad and revolution is good, you should instead understand how class struggle influences both of these actions, how reformism is used by the capitalist class to misdirect the workers' struggle, and how the way class struggle functions and has always functioned necessitates that the proletariat take its historic role as the overthrowers of capitalism, and beyond this, how this is worked towards. It's also very important to understand how common marxist positions are reached in order to continue analizing new situations, such as the Palestinian struggle.

I will never grow tired of saying this: the only path towards becoming a better communist whilst advancing the class struggle bit by bit is through constant theoretical and practical education, the involvement of yourself in the workers' struggle and the capacity to extract lessons from it via what you learn by reading the works of other communists, who most probably have already dealt with an analogous situation to yours more than 90 years ago, and then to complete the cycle, reapply those lessons to your work as a communist. You can only get so far by only reading or by only doing things (of course everyone's personal situation will influence the ability to do either or both of these, I think it goes without saying). Synthetically: Learn from the past, learn from the present, exercise your own mind, and never grow complacent. In due time (we're talking more than a year at least, probably more), the marxist framework will be as natural to you as the liberal framework is to most people

hii happy pride month, have a little 'you're a dog (i'm your man)' chapter four snippet as an apology for radio silence <33

“Did I wake you?” Gale asks, glancing at John apologetically, but John looks up from his effort to avoid muddy puddles to shake his head. Gale supposes it’s a silly question; John sleeps like a rock, dead to disturbances made by anything other than his own brain.

“Just my sixth sense,” John says, shrugging and shooting him a small smile. Gale snorts.

“You got a radar for me?” He teases, and John smiles wider, eyes crinkling.

“Built in,” he answers matter–of–factly, raising a hand and making a fist over the center of his chest before dropping it, returning his vigilant gaze to the uneven ground. Gale stares for a moment longer, floored not for the first time by John’s apparent obliviousness to the weight of his sentimentality.

Even knowing John how he does, it’s always unexpected coming from someone who a stranger might assume to be brazen and surface–level; John’s loud mouth and wandering hands do him no favours in that regard.

But Gale does know John, like an extension of himself half the time, and still he manages to render him speechless. The way his heart flutters as the sentiment hangs in the air makes Gale want to reach down his throat and squeeze it until it never beats again.
