[Image ID: Two GIFs from Season 1 of Hannibal, taking place in Hannibal's office. The first shows Will Graham adjusting as he sits in a chair, manspreading as he continues talking while looking at Hannibal. The second shows Hannibal tracking his movements before falling still and his mouth parting slightly in response. End ID.]

theres a scene in hannibal where will is sitting in a chair during a ‘therapy session’ and he leans back and man spreads and it shocks hannibal so bad he stops mewing and i think about it all the time

I hate when a new fandom becomes popular and one of the characters is a canon SA survivor and not only does no one talk about it they make jokes about how the survivor "pulled" their abuser or call their abuser a dorky nickname and pretend it's because they "don't want to say their real name!! haha fuck that person right!" and then don't acknowledge what happened and then if a real person gets accused of SA people will continue to make fandom content about them like nothing happened because "Separate the art from the artist!" while not even doing anything to hold the artist accountable separately from their art. Tumblr is genuinely such a terrible place to be as a survivor.

It's ironic how a major part of Lord of the Rings is that storytellers always overlook hobbits in their legends because their simple lives are "less important" than the lives of Great Royals & Grand Warriors--- since that's ultimately been reflected in the current state of the Tolkien franchise itself! After the LOTR films, big-budget Tolkien franchise installments (and copycats) overwhelmingly focus on their Aragorn analogues, with hobbit-like characters shoved to the sidelines. The Lord of the Rings films may be flawed, but they succeeded because they had a strong central story-- the relationship between Frodo and Sam, and the fairytale-themes about small overlooked people who save the day while the villains are distracted by Great Heroes from Noble Bloodlines, are what give the story the deep lasting emotional impact that it has. But the franchise(tm) quickly decided that the royal warrior elves/men were the far more exciting marketable characters, and their battle skills could allow for more flashy spectacle. The Hobbit films gradually focused more heavily on the warrior characters, with Bilbo being a glorified extra by the last movie; The Amazon LOTR show focuses on a noble warrior elf of royal blood as its main character and political intrigue among the royalty of different kingdoms as its main plot; the recent animated film focuses on a noble hero of royal blood involved in epic battles. I've mentioned before that it's fascinating how all the new "Tolkien franchise" installments (as well as media inspired by LOTR) continue to center their stories on the Aragorn archetype-- a Destined Noble Hero/Warrior from a Royal Bloodline etc etc. The entire premise of Lord of the Rings is that Aragorn represents the hero of a typical generic fantasy epic, while the ordinary Hobbits are the heroes of this one. Aragorn is interesting not in spite of the fact that he is a side character, but because of it. If he were the central character of the story, Lord of the Rings would be very bland and generic. "Let's do a new version of Lord of the Rings but focus on powerful grand royal hero characters instead" is a lot like saying "let's do a retelling of Wicked from Dorothy's point of view." It's like, "congrats! you've successfully reinvented the exact type of story the original writer was commenting on and subverting." XD

I guess Chilchuck has brought us right back to 'adults who are short are child-coded and if you like them you're a pedophile' discourse huh

I don’t go to cons to “have fun” or “attend panels”. I go to cons to wander the artist alley in a daze and emerge hours later missing $200. I go to cons to think “hmm I should get some food. But the line is too long right now” every five minutes into perpetuity. I go to cons to say “you look so cool” at people in cosplay and have them not to hear me even a little bit.

just saw someone call barbie movie an independent film. and. girls. what are we doing here. a $100mil movie, from warner brothers, about one of the most famous toys in the world, produced by the makers of that toy, is not an independent film. come on. you can be excited for it without treating it like some low budget arthouse underdog.

So laios and fallin have been ostracized by society since they were children, Marcille has lifelong grief from constantly outliving her loved ones that leads her to dark magics, kabru’s village was destroyed by monsters, senshi and mithrun both have horror movie level backstories, izutsumi was sold as a freak show attraction, and then there’s chilchuck, who is a normal ass divorced middle aged man. And somehow he’s the most shady and secretive out of all of them

Edit can y’all please let me live I didn’t make this post bc I think chilchuck doesn’t have his own trauma or doesn’t experience racism or that being a union boss is a walk in the park or whatever I made it because him lying that he cheated on his wife to get the others to stop asking about his family was funny as fuck. Come on.

Not going to lie, a little annoyed all all the (virtually all USAmerican) people shocked and surprised about the explicit reactionary turn of various websites. Like, have we not been expecting this, have you not been paying attention? This was plainly the direction things have been going; did you all just, like, forget, magically, that the only reason the only reason such places 'accepted' LGBT people etc. in the first place is because it was, convenient? Profitable? Did you all just think that only applied to like, pride parades, slogans, and acrylic crap?

Even liberal leaders have begun (it started years ago, don't get me wrong,) to turn around on these things - to the extent that they ever even pretended otherwise. It was politically convenient, and now it isn't; exactly what we told you was always going to happen.

Are you going to actually do something about it, or are you going to turn around, again, and decide that all the monstrosity is Good once a democrat does it, again?
