#and they bite (metaphorically and literally)
Explore tagged Tumblr posts

The voice in your head telling you the dog-motif is overdone is wrong. Do not listen to it. Give them a muzzle. Give them a choker or a collar. Chain them to a fence. Give them sharp canines. Give them pavlovian responses. Give them puppy dog eyes. Put them in a cage. Give them themes of obedience, loyalty and love intertwined unhealthy. Give them attachment issues. Make them bite. Give them themes of taming, domestication and ferality. Give them actual, literal, rabies. Kick them while they're down. Microchip them. Scratch their hair behind their ear. Call them a good boy/good girl/etc. and watch them perk up in response. Put them in a shock collar. Give them a metaphorical treat to reward good behaviour. Make them beg for scrapes of affection.
The possibilities are endless.

Kind of going insane about the different choices of bite masks for Will and Hannibal.
Transparent for Will vs. white for Hannibal.
At this point of the show, Will is in prison, but he is also needed at a crime scene because of his special autism powers.
His transparent mask is an interesting choice for that. People think that they have discovered his true nature. That he's a killer, a cannibal. That all along, he has been lying to everyone about who he truly is.
However, a transparent mask allows people to still see him and his facial expressions. Yes, he is being held back, but at the same time, he isn't hidden. It's all out there for anyone who has eyes and doesn't jump to a conclusion because it's the most convenient and easy option.
Those who choose to look, to really see him, can still do so, even when he's muzzled. In fact, Jack Crawford's first order of business at the crime scene is to take Will's mask off.
For Will, his mask doesn't take away from his essence, his character.
Now Hannibal gets a white mask.
Let's ignore the obvious associations of "clean", "sterile", "medical", and "Doctor". Instead, let's focus more on what the mask literally does.
Hannibal is at BSHCI on an insanity plea. At this point, people know who, or rather what he is. A killer. A murderer. A man who quite literally eats people. The metaphorical mask is off.
But at the same time, that is also what he is being reduced to. Hannibal the Cannibal.
This is where the mask comes into play. It hides his face. You can't see his facial expression. It's a shield, but it's a shield in both ways. It protects the world from Hannibal, but it also protects Hannibal from the world.
Even if you wanted to look, you can't. Everyone is locked out.
Everyone except for one person.
The one person in front of whom Hannibal chooses to take off his mask.
Will Graham.

Very deeply annoyed by the fanon idea that Talia treated Jason like a pet or a tool when he was catatonic, because when you actually read lost days you can clearly see that Talia is literally the only person who looked at Jason while he was catatonic and still saw a person and treated him like a person while everyone else around her (Ra’s and the doctor she hired) was ready to dismiss Jason as an empty shell
#As much as I do use the dog owner and dog metaphor to describe their relationship at times because she did very much pluck him off#the streets and rehabilitate him like one might a stray puppy. Talia doesn’t actually dehumanize him in that way. She’s literally the only#one who believes and treats him like he’s still sentient. If Jason is Talia’s pet than Talia is the type of owner who is dropping 10k on#their 18 year old dog’s cancer treatment when everyone is telling her that it’s hopeless and that she should just put him down#‘Promise you’ll treat me like I’m a dog with a bite history and you’re the last white girl with a savior complex on earth’ type shit#that’s her poor little meow meow right there have some RESPECT#And stop basing your idea of Jason and Talia’s relationship off of fanfic and that 10 second clip from young justice#Jason Todd#Dc#Also this goes back to my other post about people being unwilling to believe that Talia is capable of genuine kindness for some reason

IN LOVE WITH THEM#madly in love#and the more he denies it#the harder it becomes for him to get what he wants#until he literally EXPLODES from his love for the stuff lmao#like i said in my masterpost: squidward will admit his true feelings when it really comes down to it#idk#just wondering if it isn't a metaphor for his love for a certain sponge 😉#squidbob#squidward tentacles#squidward#spongebob#spongebob squarepants#sbsp#tragic clowning

leviathan!charlie also takes care of the weird plothole about her going from “hunting & hunters are scary and dangerous wtf get away from me” to “oh wow murdering people is soooo fun, guys!!! i just wish it was more magical!!!” because in this scenario it is not her going into hunting and somehow being in complete denial of the bloody reality of it, but her actually regressing to more violent tendencies in order to keep in contact with the Winchesters, who are basically the only friends she has.
leviathan!charlie who teamed up with them to take down dick specifically so that she would not have to act like she did in purgatory and could find a new life, but inevitably being drawn into the black hole of hunting/winchester-related violence. leviathan!charlie who sets out like vampires can to feed on animals…. and the occasional asshole, but that one shaky spot on her moral ground gives her room to backslide into seeing the monsters she hunts as just more assholes to eat (regardless of the fact that they are her!!! she’s a monster too! she just got lucky siding with sam and dean first!) leviathan!charlie who tries to hold onto the humanity she painstakingly taught herself, but the longer she’s around the winchesters, the harder it is to be anything but a monster.
#leviathan!charlie is both a comedic and a tragic concept btw. the same as regular charlie.#i never bought that her reading the spn novels was enough to convince her that Hunting Good and Cool. especially when she kept getting hurt.#but her clinging to hunting to cling to sam & dean (her literal only friends and connections that we know of)?#yeah. that i can see.#and with leviathan!charlie it becomes even worse for her. because how much of her is useful as a hunter. and how much will become too much#for sam & dean not to hunt her.#leviathan!charlie 🤝 castiel: if we fuck up too badly our best friend will kill us. and we might just let him.#oughuhhhh dark!charlie & good!charlie who are. basically the same as in canon. except that dark!charlie uses leviathan methods of killing#openly. and good!charlie will not eat anything. she’s fucking starving herself.#and what im saying is that Dean cuts dark!charlie’s head off to keep her from going inside the house instead of breaking her arm.#it doesnt kill her but its just. its an awful thing. sam inside watching as good!charlie bites down on the good!wizard guy and kills him#and then the skin on her neck rips open and she screams in pain and fear as she comes apart#sam gingerly carrying both her body and her head out to dark!charlie in the same state#dean staring at what he’s done….#and charlie both metaphorically and literally putting herself back together…#leviathan!charlie#charlie bradbury#spn

worst thing about being disabled is that now I am fully and completely aware of exactly how much I am worth to everyone I know. And it is not a lot!!
#like. it gets to me. A lot of the time it’s ohhh your life is priceless and. Well. Okay I did just see you put a price on it though.#like. It’s not always blatant but the laziness comments get to me. The stupid comments get to me. The money comments also get to me.#Either all life is precious or I am a drain on society. you cannot have both.#Why is my life worth less than twenty dollars. Better yet why are YOU gambling with MY life. wear your FUCKING masks.#like I’m usually fine bc I simply do not have the capacity for any more shit. I am existing in less dimensions than most ppl and Not Aware#And then when I am better I experience two entire years of Concentrated Cosmic Horror before I fold back down into being two dimensional#Cosmic horror? Eldritch horror? I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW. what I do know is that I straight up Do Not believe in the soul anymore bc of this!#like I’m horrified!! It is literally horrifying. If I still had all of me I could write some deeply fucked up metaphor but rn what I’ve got#Is like. okay so I’m supposed to be like. A galaxy on the inside folded into a person shape. Right#there’s stuff happening in there. three to five trains of thought at once etc. etc. and that is not what I have anymore. what I have now is#like. One planet and a white dwarf. not even a neutron star. And everything else went out so gradually that I didn’t really notice but#I woke up one morning and it’s not there and then I got into the habit of not looking up bc that’s a lot of work and I have to keep paintin#galaxies on the ash of this stupid little planet. And then I experience random bandaid treatment and Have The Knowledge again and.#I get to experience Plato’s allegory of the cave in REAL TIME and involuntarily!!#It really does suck that the only time I am able to comprehend the magnitude of my loss is when I’m not experiencing it!! bad times!!#I’m tired of being agreeable. Wear masks. Petition for air purifiers in public spaces. Or I start biting for real#if you notice I’m dealing with long covid a. BADLY. you’re right!! Gold fucking star! I challenge ANYONE to deal with The Bullshit actually#I’m not going to let myself be martyred for the fucking. Economy. Bull FUCKING shit.

Hiram covering the costs for Fred's funeral must have been a huge deal for you.
okay yes. but why do i detect a tone of judgment!!
#THAT WAS SO FREAKISH OF HIRAM. I'M RIGHT#the sicko implications of paying for the funeral after his role in deteriorating their relationship...it's like he's GLOATING#'or he's remorseful' is what varchie would want to weigh. and it's so so sick of him ahhhhhhhhh SCREAMING BITING#going back to s2 the only times archie really sets firm boundaries with hiram are around his dad#obviously the big desk-knife office confrontation but also midseason when hiram gave archie that car in front of fred#controlling man thing to do. veronica literally had the means and was about to pay. he didn't need to be involved at all and knew it#he did it to flex that he's still powerful. it shows off his access to information and funding. so much for the fbi asset seizures!#and ofc going back to the whole convo about how rvd characters often can't meaningfully sever ties with their abusers#it says they're not done he's not going anywhere (message to archie and veronica both)#they blocked his number so he started mailing amazon packages to their home address. metaphorically. is a reading that's possible#hiram lodge#archie andrews#veronica lodge#hirarchie#hiramaissance#i won't ever forget the experience of watching this episode#sobbing through to the end and then getting hit with a hirarchie breadcrumb. rvd is so indecent (complimentary)

I fucking love werewolves they’re sooo versatile. they can be serious or silly or even sexy. they can be a metaphor for literally anything. creature of all time methinks <3
#regarding metaphors I’m particularly fond of them being used as one for disability but as previously iterated literally Anything goes#they’re about queerness. anger. generational trauma. Otherness. transformation/change. (loss of) control. repression. fearing yourself.#the lines between humanity & monstrosity (and blurring thereof). just really fucking wanting to bite someone. etc etc etc#elli rambles#lycanthropy

How do you need to be touched?
Cautiously
your teeth are bared, as they have been, your jaw aching for so long as growls slip free. you always have to defend yourself. you lash out in fear. you need someone who does not shrink back… a hand falling slowly to your shoulder, however briefly, in a reminder that you do not have to lunge. there is no danger here, now.
I answered all but one question different from my other blog... got same result?? but both are VERY ic as much as the answers were so.... ??? but it works???
Stolen from my other blog \o/ (originally from @sanguine-salvation for other blog but still) Tagging: @priceforeverything @ubcs @outbreaksurvived @manufactoredxbyxdesign
