Supernatural said we’re going to give you the most psychologically complex character in modern media and then just not do anything at all with that
tell a lie
The fuck you mean NEW EPISODES netflix, you taunting hellscape of evil
I am not back-back yet, but I am here to say if ANY of you haven’t watched Black Sails
Please do
Because apart from an unbelievably lusciously violently escalating plot and quirky, well-acted characters and HIGH DRAMA and ACTION, it is the motherfucking gay agenda and the sweetest straight-baiting of all time
No, it is not perfect because we are not there yet - but it is all ten steps further ahead than anything in its genre or time. On the fucking male-skewed AF History Channel.
If you ever have to ever sit through any war movie again, and there is not LGBTQ+ characters, no pluralism and no kickass black female characters, and any motherfucker tells you “hey historically only white men did war etc” just hit them straight in the jaw with Black Sails.
Ok rant over, demi out hope to see you all soon T_T
Black Sails is an extremely underrated TV show and it’s probably because no one has ever heard of it because it was on The History Channel 🤣
...or maybe because it is not even a marketing priority within the history channel >.>
When you go watch Arctic keep in mind that it can be canonically 100% the continuation of Hannibal AND Hanmigram with 0 leaps of the imagination.
Arctic
There was one Hannibal prop used in Arctic and there were 3-4 tiny yelps in the audience

Since I was away from the Hannibal world for a second, I come back to spin-offs and layers of evolution of spin-offs that have reached new galaxies. We have officially evolved as a fandom not unlike a religion - the canon is there, but it has been interpreted so many times and so many interviews and anecdotes have been added to the original tale that the factions of meta have taken life of their own. Of course Hannigram is real, of course Cuba is happening, yes canonically they flip but COME ON Hannibal is so bottom - like hello, but he is also Elias and Nigel and they all live in Death Star with a Raccoon and it is complicated but so straightforward that even Mads could follow you know?
I don’t even know where I am going with this but I love yall and if humans disappeared tomorrow and Hannigram was all that the Aliens would find, well suffice to say they’d be left with a much higher opinion of humanity than it would normally deserve
Hannigram, Delight & Invasion
I’ve been away, for months. And with absence comes clarity - coming back to Hannigram it suddenly hit me; why was this series so powerful, why did I become so obsessed with those two fictional murderers?
It is so cheeky and simple - they are simply two people, who find themselves, unexpectedly, helplessly delighted in each other. Two men, who’d be utterly insufferable where they the leads of their own shows, having chosen to emotionally amputate themselves for opposing reasons. Two eccentrics who should repel each other but against all odds - don’t.
So they find each other and it clicks. And then the tragedy hits - they will never permit themselves to freely delight in this new found company, because they have spend a lifetime fortifying themselves against the mere possibility of companionship (of being seen). So they put on walls and create pitfalls and cliffs, oceans for the other to cross.
One’s fortress is an island - a remote ship of a house, sharing it with a herd of dogs he loves unconditionally. The other’s, a fortress in a sea of wealth, hiding in plain sight in a gaggle of loveless lovers and elite associates.
And that’s the pattern, isn’t it? From the first moment, Will and Hannibal’s relationship is a game of invasion; Hannibal forces himself into Will’s motel room and the game’s afoot. Hannibal seems to be leading the first round, hell - in Oeuf we have an entire scene in which he delights in invading every crevice of Will’s home. And while it seems one-sided - it is not. Will shows up, uninvited, twice, thrice. Will is always touching Hannibal’s things, toying with his pens, his statues. Will breaks into Hannibal’s home, his office, armed, unstable, dangerous, forlorn. And that’s the softness, there’s the ache: the whole time, the invasions were needless. Will would let Hannibal enter his house, he’d let him touch his lures. Hannibal would trade all his guests for an hour with Will in a heartbeat.
They would - they should, but they won’t. Will and Hannibal are the victims of, maybe not their own trauma, but surely of their own broken coping mechanisms. Both believe that companionship is doom and their fortresses are far too refined, far too perfect.
And so instead of lowering the gate, they invade one another. And they chip and claw and bleed each other - tit for tat, Will breaking into the Lecter’s castle, Hannibal breaking into Will’s skull.
And after they have broken into one another, their mind palaces collide and there is such mesmerising beauty in the simplicity of what they find there.
Two people, seating side by side - free to delight in each other’s company. And what a dark delight it is.
This has been making the rounds again - and I have seen a few tags that might or might not have included *tears*.
Babes I am here for you, the whole thing is clunky af because I was writing while tearing up and also
If this was slight tear alert, oh honey you should see my Ravage painting contribution 😭🙀🙊
What I find the most hilarious about this is that Tonys aren’t humanoid like Emmys and Oscars, ITS A BIG SPINNY COIN
I’ve seen this post a thousand times and this is the first time someone has pointed this out ahsiekwv
If this post keeps going around, it’s only a matter of time before someone draws fanart of Roger and Desiree.
For some reason I thought this post was about Lin-Manuel Miranda’s habit of making his Tony Stark figurines kiss
Until I read the comments
Tonys aren’t humanoid like Emmys and Oscars, ITS A BIG SPINNY COIN
and I started blinking like an idiot trying to think which Marvel universe turned Ironman into a BIG SPINNY COIN
