So yesterday I made a post talking about how Hannibal isn’t actually sadistic so that got me thinking: if I had to choose between Will wanting to kill me and Hannibal wanting to kill me what would be the better option?

And surprisingly, I actually think I’d choose Hannibal. Here’s why:

First of all, Hannibal’s plan to kill is something that can take months to years. Take Alana for example, Hannibal delayed his promise to kill her for years and potentially indefinitely. He was willing to temporarily delay her death when she offered to free him from Mason Verger and she actually even ended up alive and (mostly) well by the end of s3.

Besides I don’t think Hannibal would actively seek you out to kill you. Again take Alana as an example. Sure you wouldn’t want to cross paths with him but you could run away to a different country or at least to a different state and with a bit of luck never see him again. You should be more or less fine unless you offended him in some extraordinary way like Abel Gideon did when he claimed to be the Chesapeake Ripper.

Now on the other hand having Will want to kill you would be… yikes. If Will wanted to kill you, you would be dead and very quickly. He wouldn’t create an elaborate revenge plan. He wouldn’t delay by years until it was safe to go after you. He would kill you as soon as humanly possible. Just remember how when he got out of the BSHCI the first thing he did was go after Hannibal. Admittedly he didn’t kill Hannibal but that was for a completely different reason - you can’t hope to get the same kind of amnesty. Point is if Will wants to kill you he will take the first opportunity he gets to do so.

Next point: Bedelia said in the show a high level of cruelty requires a high degree of empathy.

Hannibal does not have a high degree of empathy. If Hannibal does end up finding you and killing you, you can at least sort of hope it would be quick and all things considered not too painful. Plus you’re probably going to end up as a pretty tableaux so that’s a nice bonus. But guess who does have a high degree of empathy: Will. Post-fall Will once he fully leaned into his dark side and took off his person suit would be much much much more sadistic than Hannibal. Even before he fully accepted that darkness inside him he was already quite cruel (Just remember all the ways he fantasised about killing/killed) and I can’t imagine by how many times that cruelty would be multiplied post fall.

Here’s just some examples:

1. Feeding Hannibal to pigs alive.

2. Have a stag pull at a rope around Hannibal’s neck to choke him to death slowly:

3. Drop a shotgun (which would offer a quick and relatively painless death) and instead proceed to beat the shit out of Randall Tier (while imagining Hannibal) and then snap his neck.

4. Set Chilton up to be attacked by a famously ruthless and cruel murderer who he knows could and would make Chilton suffer.

So in short if Will wanted to kill you it would be soon and it would be painful.

So at least for me I’d definitely prefer Hannibal’s delayed long winded planned out artistic poetic revenge over whatever the fuck Will has going on. That man is scarier than Hannibal.

Yes, all of them, yes, we really want to know.

Dude.

Are you trying to get me court-martialed or something?

[commodorecliche]

hey i just want it known that, unless i KNOW you, i do not respond to individual fundraiser requests. i donate to organizations only, and will not and have never donated to cold requests from random tumblr users. why? well, firstly: donating to an organization will help MORE families than an individual fundraiser. and secondly, there are way too many scammers out there trying to capitalize on tragedy.

edit to add: please check out my tag #how to help if you want more info on organizations to donate to and how to help.

I just got to 2x15 and I used to be an ardent defender of The Betrayal™️ like “well DUH it was OBVIOUSLY the right decision to make, Clarke would’ve done the same thing!” which yeah I still kinda stand by canon-wise but like… writing-wise is it just me or is the whole thing kind of dumb 😭 Like they were already winning??? There was no point in not just killing Emerson and Cage and all the others and freeing the Sky People and civilians??? The Sky People have made powerful allies, can cure Reapers, and are the only reason they’ve made it this far and she just leaves them to die??? I don’t know, unless Lexa was like, really fuckin sure that Clarke could handle things just fine on her own, it doesn’t make any kind of logical sense to me if I really think about it for more than a few seconds.

It feels kind of out of character for Lexa too, like the Grounders inside Mount Weather are an army waiting to be set free to defeat the Mountain Men, are likely willing to die for the cause and the greater good (which Lexa literally said in the previous episode that you should be able to tell your people to die for you!) — like, bad thing: many of the Grounders inside the Mountain die fighting. But good thing: the Mountain Men are defeated and in the long run the Grounder suffering under their oppression which has lasted 97 years finally ends. It seems like a worthy sacrifice to me and I just think it’s an odd, contradictory heel-turn for Lexa to suddenly make.

I don’t know am I making any sense here or am I literally the only one overthinking this 😂

Oh bby I have talked about this before

And I'll do it again 🥴

No it really did make no sense beyond juat setting up the adversarial plotline between Clarke and Lexa and furthering the dynamics between Skaikru and the clans.

Realistically, logically, strategically - it made no sense. None. Cuz, even beyond just what you're saying, Lexa taking the deal in turn means the MM keep the skairats. Whom they were harvesting bone marrow from. Which allowed them to walk freely outside.

Considering???? That they had every intention of wiping out the Grounders, whyyyy in god's fucking name would Lexa "I got a phat ass and love stinky blonde bitches" Kom Trikru willingly provide the very key that would allow them easier ability in the future to annihilate her people??

It's? Illogical? And fucking nonsense?

But I'm supposed to believe that she made that choice? I'm supposed to believe that someone who won her conclave at the age of like 11-12, who beat and bartered 12 warring clans into submission, who found her lover's severed head in her bed and then still accepted the murderer into her alliance for the best of her people... I'm supposed to believe she would take such a short-sighted, lopsided deal? Really? Really?

I mean when you look at it from just a narrative perspective, yes of course it makes sense. Sacrifices have to be made yada yada, my people or yours blah blah blah, she loves her but had to choose her people bing bong balsjdjslk. I get it, I do, and it was a very compelling moment to watch. Truly, I love that episode, it was devastating and shocking and they acted it so gd well it still holds up. Like every rewatch makes my lil gay heart clench, and I'm not kidding. But take even one step back and look at the entire picture of the situation and actually who Lexa is as a person and leader, and the whole fucking plot just falls apart

BUT...they use feminism as an excuse to do those very same things... 🤷🏼‍♀️

no i dont think women starving themselves and reconstructing their entire faces with makeup and plastic surgery is feminism and female empowerment

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

@batbirdies honestly this SOUNDS like something your Jason would say

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

The movie Wicked is proof that any source material can be vastly improved by simply making the intense female friendship much gayer + the mutual male love interest both wildly bisexual and lowkey down to just be their third

The diagram for the classic Origami Goat, with a twist to make its horns curve ! It's from this video by by Origami Word, but it seems to be a pretty old/intemporal design that a lot of people have made. I could not find a diagram online so I made one.

(If you make her in yellow/orangy-yellow, then decorate her with red ribbons, you can make your own origami gävlebocken ! )

This is so fucking annoying. I hate catching feelings.
