edward mordrake, to the freak show employees: yes, your physical deformities make you just as much of a freak as me, with my demonic second face that whispers dark secrets to me in god’s absence
edward mordrake, turning to look in the camera: but remember kids, the real freak, is the mentally ill
#ahs#freak show#and yet i can't stop watching#i'm telling you it's the women#any meaning i have discerned from this show is disgusting to me#but the women......the women sure are nice

a super fun fact about me is that when ahs freak show first came out, i thought the conjoined twins were actually played by two different people instead of one. i thought it was sarah paulson and lana del rey

my heart: american horror story good because girls pretty
my brain: but, as a mentally ill person, I hate the way mental illness is portrayed throughout the seasons as inherently dangerous, and how it suggests that when you are mentally ill, the only people that can be your friends are other mentally ill people
my heart: but..................sarah paulson pretty :)
#ahs#jess watches scary tv#i really can't decide if i like this shit or not#but am i going to watch the whole thing? yes#bc girls are pretty and they have hired some really nice ones for this show#taissa farmiga makes me go apeshit#when she's like 'kyle :(' with her big eyes and her perfectly straight middle parted hair#it's a religious experience#like c'mon jessica lange is singing bowie and lana#that's got to count for something#but the plot? stinky

american horror story: asylum really made that serial killer sympathetic because i too would actually kill for sarah paulson to be my mom
#ahs#ahs asylum#i can't decide whether or not i love ahs#i do think i definitely like it#but sometimes the intermingling plot lines give me a headache

how to get away with murder really made the Gay Character TM oversexualized and made him sleep with people just to be good at law school and y’all were really like “yas such good representation! king!”

I know I preach a lot about horror being made more accessible to women but I stand by my statements that Stephen King is an incredible author and I wish he would just shut up about boobs so I can enjoy his books in peace
#stephen king#its not that i dont like boobs bc..... well i do like boobs#but i dont need a desxription if every female characters boobs#especially the teenage girls stephen#what the fuck is that all about huh

unrelentingly harping on will graham’s incredible ‘empathy’ during the first season really looks weak once it becomes immediately clear that he’s more concerned about dogs than human beings. like i know that’s one of those quirky millennial jokes like ‘lol i love doggos more than people’ or what the fuck ever but in all seriousness i have never once seen will graham ostensibly show empathy

for people who were so concerned about freddie lounds writing abigail hobbs’ story (which abigail was cool with, btw), saying that she needed to let her ‘rest in peace’, will and hannibal sure are interested in gaslighting and manipulating abigail’s ghost. telling her that her father slit her throat ‘out of love’. i don’t think that’s letting her rest in peace but what do i know

so when will graham is having stag sex it’s presented as gritty and intellectual and filled with metaphor and purpose and then season 3 is like....... two women having sex? exotic music. lsd trip. strange patterns and camera tricks. this is highly unusual. we must treat this as though it is the weirdest thing that has ever happened on this show. so out of character.
#hannibal#why is it that ppl are so willing to believe that hannibal and will are in love and then let wlw representation happen like... that#now i can't prove that it's homophobic but it sure don't feel right#it's all about how men see lesbians and bi women#strange and exotic and not normal but alluring#straight men who are homophobic towards gay/bi men will often sexualize gay/bi women#reducing them to their sexuality and not recognizing that love is very much involved#the love between will and hannibal would be intellectual and fierce and complex#their sexual act would be demonstrated in a ten minute scene of grand sweeping camera shots and metaphor#there would be natural imagery and an impressive musical score to accompany it#alana and margot are not awarded the same treatment#look i'm just a lowly girl who likes girls who wants to be seen as human and not an exotic adventure for the male psyche#if i wanted to do enough research into old tumblr i could definitely show the fanbase being actively homophobic as well#you think it's a coincidence that all of tumblr's big ships are male/male?#you think that's a goddamn coincidence? no no no

ah the good old trick of making me watch twenty different montages of vaguely italian scenery and artifacts in lieu of actual plot. you can’t fool me, i know you’re trying to be artsy to make up for the lack of interesting content

reading positive reviews of hannibal saying this is mads mikkelson’s finest performance as if they’ve never seen the video of him being like “i’d like to thank my mahm.... and my daaa*d” that video lives inside my head RENT FREE and you’re about to tell me that sitting expressionless on a chair speaking in hushed tones is more culturally relevant? abhorrent behavior
#hannibal#y'all know the video i'm talking about???#the one where he's playing ddr or guitar hero or something like that#and he pretends to accept an award#god i love that video
