Its been so long since Build-a-Frog came across my dash. I needed them today :)

im sobbing omg

tis the season

I forgot about this

I haven’t seen this show up on my dash ONCE yet this Chanukah season I have to do everything by myself

@dragonmuse is this what the Swede looked like?

lolololol yes exactly 

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head

hilariously, these are almost all in my fic tag. so, a compiled list from the notes (and some extras):

.... i have never felt so seen

hannibal season 3 red dragon extra - kiss alts section (captions by me)

mads mikkelsen, hugh dancy, steven lightfoot, scott thompson, caroline dhavernas and bryan fuller discuss the relationship and final scene of the series.

music is bloodfest by brian reitzell (from mizumono, link here for music details)

THIS. I saw a post the other day that literally said if you do it to a fictional character, you’ll do it in real life.

No. Just NO.

I’m so glad someone put it into words.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a legend, and he’s absolutely right.

And I really feel like there are parts of fandom that don’t get or don’t believe this, and I think that’s troubling.  I’ve seen arguments that people shouldn’t have dark fantasies, or that bad impulses in themselves make a bad person.  I’ve seen so much shaming over thoughts.

And if you get to a point where it’s bad to have dark thoughts and it’s bad to wonder what something would be like and it’s bad to put yourself in the shoes of anyone who isn’t “pure”, if fiction is no longer a realm where you can confront and explore, but an ongoing test of moral purity… well, maybe not everyone’s brain works like mine, but I feel like that takes away something incredibly important to being human.

Purity culture is gonna kill art if y’all let it.

Fiction is a safe place to explore whatever fucked up or dark desire that you have. You can write the most vile and fucked up shit in fiction and it be absolutely nothing you desire in real life. You can write about a serial killer who gets away with it. You can write about someone who goes on moral crusades to purge the world of all evils and still be the protagonist. You can write anything in fiction because that’s what it is meant for. 

It isn’t meant to be a social commentary unless you create it to be. 

It isn’t meant to be educational unless you create it to be. 

Sometimes a story can be just that, a story. Entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. 

Not everything has to be deep, or have meaning, etc. unless the creator wants it to be and a lot of the purity types end up forcing something to have deep meaning or social commentary where it isn’t meant to.  Is this inherently bad? No, but these people don’t just say “But this is my interpretation of it.” they go as far as trying to force that interpretation onto everyone else, including the creator, as a means of saying “See? It means that they promote/condone xyz so they’re bad and shitty people who should spend the rest of their life in jail with/are the same as people who’ve actually committed acts of violence against other people.” 

THANK. YOU.

@ all the people in the notes saying “yes except u can’t write about (list of immoral things they don’t want to see in fiction)” congrats on missing the point so spectacularly I’m not sure I could create better performance art if I tried

“You can’t write about this [insert bad thing here]! It’s immoral and evil and—”

What are you? Protestant? Thought crime isn’t real, ya twit.

Fiction is for putting your brain’s little raccoon hands all over a situation without having to actually electrocute yourself by touching the electric wire because unlike a raccoon you can read the sign that says it will electrocute you

I’m having an absolute ball on this bitch (the bitch in question being the idea of the ofmd crew and the bs squad going on little allegorical journeys together to teach each other important lessons about friendship and being yourself and the importance of violent resistance in the face of colonialist oppression)

You asked for it, and here it is! For the second year in a row, the Cre-ATE-ive brings you an entire week where the darkest and softest kinks come out to celebrate together! Tentacles, vouyerism, BDSM, perhaps some cross-dressing? 

From 11th to 18th of June, the kinkiest fest comes back! With #JustFuckMeUp, we encourage you to think outside the box and explore every kink with the characters and pairings of Hannibal or the Rarepairs; anything that revolves around the Hannibal fandom! All are welcomed to that kind of party ;)

Delight us with your fics, edits, fanarts, gifset… Any creative piece will be accepted as long as it fits the main theme, hasn’t been published before and it revolves around Hannibal.

Just let your inspiration flow and tag your creation with #JustFuckMeUp on Twitter and Tumblr! BUT PLEASE, tag responsibly!!! Tag every kink and possible trigger warning, especially if it contains a hardcore kink. That way, we all will have fun and nobody will feel uncomfortable! ;)
