#also why was i thinking about Cannibalism?

[lukaskyle]

i just don't think anyone - shauna included - ever actually spared a thought towards ben after the labor/believed he was in any way at fault, because, as has been made clear multiple times, they did not see him as an authority figure. tai brings it up solely because she knows it's a surefire way to a) get shauna to go off, and b) it's an easy way to question his character and make him seem like a villain. you can see the look of surprise on shauna's face, very briefly, and then she sees what tai is doing - weaponizing her trauma - and offers her approval of it because it gets her closer to her goal of killing ben. you could almost think it's coordinated between them because shauna being able to recall the exact words ben used while she's in the middle of a traumatic labor is just a little difficult to believe but i don't think it was. anyway the point is i really don't know why people keep acting like THAT'S the reason she hates ben when it's not. she did not think of it until that moment. personally i don't think she even really cares about him burning the cabin. her issue really is that he not only represents a link to Civilization and Authority (like jackie), but he also represents the possibility that they could maybe have survived another way, since ben did (and so did javi).* she says, very clearly, "he's not one of us." THAT'S why she hates him.

*and i think this is a very important point, because while the cannibalism they've committed is technically survival cannibalism, they do turn it into ritualistic cannibalism. they made an active choice to do that. taking away their agency in the matter makes the narrative far less compelling imo

I JUST HAD A HORRIFYING THOUGHT

(Tw for like, morbid stuff)

im doing a thing and-

Do-

Do the people of Slugterra,

eat Slug's?

Obviously not, right? Slugs are friends, not food,

But like, what if someone was desperate?

Or, idk was just a freak like that?

I don't know, man, I was thinking about Cannibalism and the French (as one dose), and this just sorta popped in my mind-

Wait do slug's eat other slugs?

They are omnivores, right? Like, they have teeth and fangs and can eat regular people food.

It's stated as much.

Slugs can eat regular food, but slug food is recommended simply because it contains all the nourishment they need while they are with a Slinger.

But when in the wild, they hunt and forage.

Dose than mean slugs also get territorial?

Like they form packs/colonies and stick to one major area, migrating when needed?

I-

what the actual fuck is my thought prosess rn?

WHOLE UP-

if slugs lay eggs, and that's a big if because idk how slug reproduction works -

But IF they do, are slug eggs like caviar?

This is a morbid rabbit whole I've fallen into, it's what I get for thinking about the French.

And because I can't be trusted with my own thoughts I needed to curse everyone else with it

Im sorry

Slugs are friends, not food [I repeat violently]

They're such a good duo...Pls let's talk about them more.....

Following an accident, Danny wakes up in Gotham City in a DC universe. Lacking any forms of ID or possessions beyond the clothes on his back, he’s forced to commit some crimes to survive. Minor crimes, but still.

And then he gets caught.

During the court proceedings, they come to the mistaken conclusion that he’s a Meta suffering from some psychiatric issues such as Cotard’s Syndrome (a real rare condition where a person holds the delusional belief that they’re dead/don’t exist/etc).

Thus, between his “need for mental treatment” and the concerns about housing someone with his unique physical traits, he is sentenced to spend time in Arkham Asylum. He’s under pretty low security aside from the anti-Meta stuff and has more freedoms than some other inmates, but it’s still not a great experience. Even at the best of times, Arkham is hardly a nice place.

Some of his fellow residents are decently chill all things considered, but lots very much aren’t.

i do not have reasoning i just want to see the arthurian knights as coworkers in a grocery store bc i think lancelot n gawain would murder each other over the correct way to stock the shelves

ive been so obsessed w cannibalism recently. its so intimate and romantic and i can never find the right wording to express that. when you let someone eat you you let them see everything. you quite literally let them see the real you beneath your skin. the one thats hidden from everyone but them. you let them see your inner workings. you let them dig through you and take you apart and enjoy you in the most carnal sense imaginable. you watch them get their hands dirty from your blood and you watch them enjoy it. i think if cannibalism didnt hurt and i wouldnt die and id be perfectly put back together afterwards id 100% let my partner cannibalize me any time they wanted

i haven’t even attempted a raphael fic yet and i literally have 3 cod fics i need to work on right now but i got hit with a deranged urge to write some weird psychosexual cannibalism thing with raphael & tav

see i absolutely despise jimmy (and curly) as a character(s) but as a literary freak i can appreciate the way hes used as a story device with his relationship to curly. i could type this more eloquently but currently ive had a glass of champagne and i havent drank in like 6 months so my tolerance is low so forgive my writing but. jimmy cannibalizing curly. yeah.

theres multiple messages here, theres the message that jimmy is doing what curly (assumedly) did to get into his position and, employing another metaphor, taking the "dog eat dog world" saying to heart. and literally. devouring his competition. or maybe curly didnt do that. and thats what jimmy thinks curly did and so he aims to do the same. choose whichever one you like more they're both interesting storywise.

theres the message where jimmy "consumes" curly in some twisted expression of love. devouring curly so that he remains a part of him, an expression that he is the gold star captain and something to aspire to. admiration for something he'll never be and so he chooses to consume him in order to potentially absorb some of his skill or become more like him.

and then there is curly sitting there helplessly being devoured. its something he has no say in, not something that he chose to happen to him, its something hes become swept up in. he becomes devoured by jimmy in the literal sense of cannibalism, but also in the sense that he became so absorbed in his friendship w/jimmy he ignored his wrongdoings and ultimately led to anya's assault as well as the death of the whole crew.

curly and jimmy intertwined so that one is always consumed by the other. curly in a literal sense, jimmy in a more psychological one. i mean like its really quite crazy they did the "im consumed with thoughts about this guy and want to be him so i must literally consume him" thing quite well. when examining mouthwashing's narrative you find new things to admire every time. each little story element has a place in creating a wonderfully complex and heartbreaking story. its very well done and honestly something to aspire to from the perspective of someone who enjoys studying/writing literature.

all of this is to say i think that there should be more art of jimmy covered in blood and engaging in this cannibalism like the stupid little leech he is

[ponyrepress]

the MW fandom so bad on Twitter that fuckin. jimcurly shippers say their ship is ok cause “they deserve each other” but then think youre a terrible person for suggesting that anya and curly like. cared about each other deeply and fucked up. i hope this fandom dies soon dear lord.

Jesus Christtttt I hope the yaoiheads die forever. Like. What the hell is it with people wanting to ignore everything there is to be said about Curly and Anya's complicated ass relationship in favor of painting Curly as a cartoonishly bad person and Anya as someone who didn't volunteer to take care of him in fucking terrible condition Despite Everything. There's so fucking much to say about Anya and Curly as people who were hurt by the same person and watched the other be hurt by the same person and ended up stuck together at rock fucking bottom in that nurse's room but nobody wants to talk about that because there's "good" abuse victims and "bad" abuse victims and they can't have any attachment to each other even if they do in text despite ultimately failing the other because uhhhh no they didn't. I fucking guess.

in relation to my dungeon meshi thoughts one of the aspects of yellowjackets i truly loved is the grieved consuming the dead. every time someone has been killed and eaten, the first bite is taken by the person that loved them the most, and you are not only keeping a part of that loved one inside you, but they are nourishing you, allowing you to continue living. it's the ultimate act of love, and being loved.

the duality of misao being one of the few psychiatrists in arkham that has actually made progress with some of their patients and treats them like human beings, but also someone who does a complete 180° later + EATS her patients and gaslights people who ask about them into thinking they were never committed there is currently making me go feral. like girlll why are you like this JSJSJ

Is it a hot take to say I think Jennifer from Jennifer's body is not bisexual and is in fact a lesbian ??

[ssaalexblake]

my literature soap box subject would be that a great deal of the confusion surrounding Hannibal (the Novel) stems through a lack of understanding of gothic horror and gothic romance tropes, of which the story uses liberally between the titular character and Starling.

Look at that story through a lens of crime or thriller fiction and the arc makes no sense. Realise they're running through a gothic romance plot that's inexplicably set in the late 1900's between an fbi agent and a serial killer cannibal instead of say, between a deeply suppressed lady yearning to burst free from societal chains upon her femininity and the handsome, threatening man inexplicably enthralled with her set in the victorian period, and it makes much more sense.

That one fic with the sunsets and the heartbreaking descriptions of the six eyes also gave me the six eyes being eaten and really truly the real JJK could never live up to that for me
