New blorbo :)

Also a silly interaction with this piece

[guardiansvalor]

so did anyone else think this was talking about shadowfaerie initially or am i insane

a king of gold with such a lonely role.

silvery eyes of a calm sea

like. just listen chat

this gets even crazier with pure vanilla and white lily having the answer — they're parallels! the hero with knowledge whom falls to his own darkness eventually, and the other to become the silver guardian.

so many butterflies in the bg too

i'm aware they got the answer in the academy, but it's very fun how white lily decided to stray away after it. especially because she holds the guardian's power and he lives on in her now and and

the thing is . . . if i was ga, watching without looking up interviews or anything, kinda like the way I watch the other shows, I would absolutely be expecting them to get back together, right? like just going by the story, it feels like they are getting back together because you ended the breakup like that, made character A spend the whole episode wanting to call and then showed character B typing and deleting a text. is it clowning or going by just how much the ga sees, we were never done in the first place? like the only damning thing about this breakup is what I can find in the interviews

Have you heard of the "Crowley is Malleus' dad" theory going around? Where Prince Levan (or whatever his name is) didn't actually die and just went out to get some milk and is now known as Dire Crowley, the silly man? The implications of that theory is absolutely hilarious when you think about it

hold on, we can figure this out, we just need LISTS

PROS THAT CROWLEY IS SECRETLY REVAAN/LEVAN/LAVERNE/WHATEVER:

unspecified fae of some kind, with similar coloring to Mal

the animal masks are apparently a Briar Valley thing

has some kind of big blackmailable secret that was alluded to in episode 4, and then as far as I know never brought up again

(unless this was just Azul bullshitting, which is extremely possible)

based on Diablo, which...maybe means something?

has canonically worn Dad Shorts

CONS:

(gestures to Crowley's entire personality)

NO LISTEN Revaan was the guy they sent off on diplomatic missions and to take care of delicate political situations, and...look, I love this dweeb, but would you trust Crowley to be in charge of negotiating your war treaties

despite my brain insisting on reading his name as "Raven", Revaan's title does imply that he was also a dragon (or super into longan berries, I'm not ruling that out)

currently unclear why Lilia "my closest friend Revaan...he is no longer with us...I used to make fun of him for being kind of a priss about eating jerky..." Vanrouge has somehow not noticed or said anything

Malleus' Aloof Anime ~Aristocrat~ vibe had to come from somewhere, and by all accounts it was NOT his mom's side of the family

???:

turns into a bird in the opening, I don't know if that means anything but it's kinda cool, I guess

all that aside, if Malleus and Yuu are any indication, then the Draconias have...questionable taste in their social choices. so anything is possible!

It's a shame the bbc merlin fandom is dead because I'm just a man would work so fucking well in one of those tiktok snippets for both Uther and Merlin.

But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster?

i've not written poetry in years (i'm more of a novelist) but i allowed myself some cassandra thoughts (as a treat). i actually had a lot of fun with this and i'm desperate to do more with the idea in the future so we will see.

inspired obviously by my own muses, @two-bees-poetry for the brilliant contrapuntal poems about greek myth, and anne carson, specifically when she talks about cassandra's speech being split in two and her bridging of past and future!

more of my logic in the tags because i'm annoying!

“I’m not fortune’s fool, I’m yours” is a modified quote from the most famous fucking love story in the world.

So for context: “I am fortune’s fool” is a quote from Romeo and Juliet. Romeo says that after he kills Tybalt essentially saying he has bad luck.

So what does the quote mean in Hannibal:

On the surface level the entire quote applies to the fact that Will’s bad luck and misfortune is caused by Hannibal’s meddling. Also I think Will says the quote not only about the current situation but also their shared past. Most of the negative events in Will’s life were triggered by Hannibal (encephalitis, going to prison, Abigail dying, etc).

But here’s something interesting if we separate the quote into its two parts:

“I’m not fortune’s fool” is easy and straightforward. It sounds like Will assuming control over his life. Over his actions. Taking over control over his luck.

Then I also wanna focus on the wording “I’m yours” in the second part of the quote. Even with the context of the full quote, but even more so without, it very much sounds like a declaration of love, of belonging, and of ownership. Will is Hannibal’s. His life is Hannibal’s.

So with that in mind putting the quote together again we get: “I’m not fortune’s fool” “I’m yours” and to me this essentially sounds like Will is saying: I am making my own choices now, and I chose to come to you. It isn’t my luck, it is my choice to be here, to be yours.

Can we all just take a minute to acknowledge how many times Touya should've been saved but wasn't?

Not even touching on at the home, that's an entirely other tragic situation, I mean the seven years he was on the street. It's such a messed up thing, because you're telling me there's this sickly teenager dressed in burnt up hospital clothes and no shoes wandering around COVERED in VISIBLE wounds all over his body (that only became worse with time as he started training his quirk again) and no one reached out to him? No one tried to help him?

You're saying for a damn near decade he lived on the streets, likely hungry and barely scraping by to get his needs met, probably frequently very sick due to his burns and the conditions he was living in, also in a terribly vulnerable situation where people probably did take advantage of and victimize him and you're telling me nobody helped him? They just ignored him? For nearly a decade??? Yeah, I'd go crazy and start plotting society's downfall, too, that's sick.

sighh cherik au where they meet in a coffee shop but they both work there

Charles runs the cafe while Erik is the new hire who is a bit too good at his job

calm down Erik you’re just a barista 🤨🤚

uhhh classic rom-com type scenarios ensue with maybe a dash of angst in there and then happy ending wahoo!

hrmm employer x employee��. not entirely sure how i feel about it but oh well

maybe they can be based more on dofp versions… that would be fun

the cafe is running low on business and Charles is taking it personally (likely added on from other stuff as well)💔 then boom new guy comes around (Erik) and makes everything better huzzah!!

i don’t see many fics where Charles is just doing shit before he meets Erik. hmmm…

AU to add to the list of AUs I'll never write: All of the Robins are de-aged to the age they were when they became Robin. Their memories are also reset to that point, and somehow they're in their Robin suits.

So you have a 16 year old Steph, desperately trying to wrangle 4 feral children who look nearly identical and won't tell her their names because "you do know what a secret identity is, don't you Stephanie?"

Excuse me but. ThAt'S iLlEgAl.

What do you mean my man CEJ spent years alone in an eerily silent place, surrounded by bones and scraps of flesh that used to be his comrades. What do you mean my good dude has to have ASMR videos playing at all times because he might as well go insane if left alone in silence for more than a minute. What do you mean he spent months - years maybe - whispering the names of his dead peers again and again and again and -

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE SPENT SO LONG WITH SILENCE FILLED ONLY BY HIS OWN WHISPERS HE FORGOT HUMAN LANGUAGE AND THE ONLY WORD HE UNDERSTOOD WAS 'NEED'. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIS FIRST RESPONSE TO SOMEONE NEEDING HIM IS TO REACH FOR HIS SPEAR BECAUSE WHY WOULD ANYONE NEED HIM IF NOT FOR KILLING

I AM SICK AND TIRED AND I NEED MY GOOD PAL CEJ TO CATCH A. GOD. DAMN. BREAK!
