not by big thief is a rosquez song thank you lesbians.

"not the hunger revealing" valentino's hunger. his hunger for marc. his hunger for that tenth title. all hunger- so much of it.

hunger is what shaped his career, it brought him to great heights, never before seen. that passion, the raw need to win and make such a spectacle about it, it was moreish.

and the hunger to leave something behind- to not be forgotten. that is why he made the academy, that's why he loved marc so much from the go. he loved that there was a rider where, even when it wasn't valentino winning first-hand, he could still take credit for it because marc grew up idolising him. and he liked that when marc was winning, valentino wasn't really in contention for the championship- so it was a substitute and didn't hurt so bad. a situation where vale could still dominate, even by proxy, while not losing anything.

and the hunger for marc, which came after the hunger to be remembered. something thick and familiar- metallic, magnetic like flesh and blood. beyond that picket fence of mentor and mentee because marc did not need mentorship, didn't want it. beyond a metre's distance of friendship- never too far to reach and touch one another. far beyond love. beyond obsession? perhaps. maybe so far, even, that they toppled over the other side. missed the landing pad and soared into the ocean below. a two year free fall. but it was fucking good, whatever it was.

and that hunger revealed far more about him than i believe he ever wanted it to.

particularly in the fallout of it. when the disaster struck, valentino showed such fucking. brutal, cutting ferocity as he had never shown before. it was far beyond humiliating marc on track, it was beyond jerez 2005, laguna seca 2008, catalunya 2009. it wasn't punching max biaggi in the face.

it was a show of utter, brash cruelty. wherein he wanted to destroy marc personally. he wanted to ruin him.

that hunger ate itself- a fucking zoochosis where vale chewed his own leg off. maybe not leg. maybe arm. marc was valentino's arm. to fight and to hold.

but the hunger revealed that, for all vale's show at NOTHING- at absolute ease and effortlessness- he cared. he cared so much that it destroyed everything snagged on his bristled spines.

shrike by hozier is also a rosquez song. shrikes skewer their prey on thorns and pick their bodies apart with sharp, precise beaks. do you think the prey fights to the last breath? or does it find some comfort in knowing where it stands in the food chain? did marc?

My roman empire is this scene where Will's wound starts bleeding in a form of a bite which slowly turns into a kiss, and then he looks up in anticipation of seeing Hannibal. Because that’s a normal association with that kind of thing.

i love unrequited love, i love blind devotion, i love guard dogs. i love being desperately obsessed with the object of your affections. i love when devotion rots into cruelty, i love when love doesn't know any better, i love when love is ugly. i love defanging and declawing yourself just to be loved. i love when a character will wait for the next time they will be loved like a bird or a dog at their beloved’s door. i love when love is insanity and by the LORD do i love betting on losing dogs

he needs to actually calm down

can he fucking stop

Every single day I'm grateful for that time I stumbled on the SVSSS headcanon that while Bingqiu is considered highkey confusing and lowkey cringe in the demon realm, Moshang is known as the Power Couple™. They're the demonic love story. The 'It Couple'.

Just generations of demons sighing over the dramatic and bloody love story of the Northern King and his right hand man plus spymaster, yearning for one of their own filled with such glorious violence and betrayal! A classic childhood friends to lovers narrative filled with ups and downs and copious murder and gore! Love at first sight! The story of the loyal spy who rose up the ranks of the brutal Northern Court, culling his competition while providing vital intel to his liege, all the while infiltrating the most powerful cultivation sect in the world and eventually even becoming a Peak Lord! The slow burn of all slow burns! All kinds of spicy complicated power imbalances! Sexy, unexpected age gaps! Years of heavy plot! Decades of passionate courting! The pinnacle of inter-species forbidden romance! The tale of a man who swore eternal loyalty after falling violently in love at the very first meeting, calling a mere Prince His King in his desire and determination to see his beloved's ascension to the throne that was his birthright, and the Demon Prince who was unexpectedly presented with fierce loyalty in a life that had until then been rife with treachery and grabbed it with both hands and never looked back!

...and there's Junshan and the weird human he keeps around. Somewhat interesting if you're into that teacher-student thing I guess. There were very few deaths. Some bland murders. The trial arc and the self destruct thing plus corpse hoarding was interesting but overall very vanilla. Unseasoned. Not even a proper decade of drama. Kinda boring. And Junshan's half human so they're like Walmart version inter-species romance. But whatever the Emperor's into I guess. His dad was kinda weird too but at least his relationship with that human woman had some kick to it. The new generation just doesn't appreciate a long drawn out painful romance tsk tsk...

Like infinitely grateful to whoever first spawned that headcanon. Never fails to make me laugh. Honestly the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in this fandom. Hope your pillow is always cold and you never stub your toe.

Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter Hannibal (2013-2015)

Taste is housed in parts of the mind that precedes pity. Pity has no place at the table.

[not-blonde-yet]

AU where Will can read minds of people he's touching, and he doesn't find out about Hannibal because every time he touches Hannibal all he hears is how great his ass looks

[a-multifandom-mess12]

I like explaining Hannibal to my friends. Like yeah, Will fucked a lesbian. Then that lesbians creepy brother put her uterus in a pig. Then her and her future wife fed him to his pet eel. Yeah this is a serious show, why do you ask?
