If there's one thing that gives me the ick it's when people paint Will as being much less educated/knowledgeable than Hannibal and give him a distaste for all Hannibal's interest. Some of you act like this man never opened a book. He WROTE and published one?? He has bookshelves full of classical titles in his house (he has a big house. We only ever get to see his living room and kitchen, who knows what kind of study he has that’s filled with books). Including poetry (he has Shakespeare and Wilde on his shelves, who knows what else with less big spine titles). That man has a big house! He doesn't put his bed on the ground floor for no reason. And no, Will wouldn't dislike classical music and neither would he be new to it. He has a piano with sheet music (so actively playing) at home. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays more instruments. Maybe not as obscure as Hannibal's harpsichord and theremin, but more nonetheless. Will loves art, too!!! He knows a couple of things about S. Botticelli, better assume he knows other things. I mean, he can consider Hannibal's tableaus art, calls killing beautiful, that of itself is an art form and artistic vision of the world he shares with Hannibal. He can also cook. Yes, not like Hannibal, but that man wouldn't let Will sous-chef if he was a bad cook no matter how in love he may be with him. There's gotta be some skill to get permission to use Hannibal's kitchen, no matter how pretty someone may be. Hannibal can discuss any subject he wants with Will because he'll catch onto it. I'm not even going to start on the fact that some people act like Will isn't able to keep up with Hannibal's conversations and metaphors. That man bounces them back at him twice as hard. Will Graham. Isn't. Stupid. !!!.

He's not clueless, he's not uncultured, he's not pedestrian. The thing about Will is that he's adaptable. Hannibal doesn't coax his darkness out of him, he brings Will's true self to the light, which is a highly intelligent, cultured, dangerous and fearless man. The fact that he prefers a minimal life, masking his knowledge and also his wealth (because he is wealthy, but that's a different story), over Hannibal's eye-catching dramatics doesn't mean that he doesn't have it. Yes, not as much as Hannibal, but they do have similar interests. If anyone would be clueless it's Hannibal, because I can guarantee that man DOESN'T know how to fix a boat motor or utilise fishing gear. (Although he would learn really fast if Will taught him.) They are way more alike than some make them out to be, Hannibal just has a huge amount of theatrics that Will doesn't care for. Hannibal flaunts his personality, Will owns it. That's the difference.

hey man everyone loved how convenient and easily forgettable you were on earth. u were the least inconvenient person out there. my buddy told me you were super helpful and nice and didn't take up any space and just slid away from their mind as soon as they stopped looking at you. it was really impressive how little of an impression you made on anyone. sucks that it didn't save you man.

When trans women are mocked and made into jokes in the media, I get very upset, and I am often told “Kay, you can’t go through life getting offended every time someone makes a joke.” And I sputter and object but they don’t hear me. So I want to be clear for once, about why the jokes make me angry.

I learned to hate myself for being transgender before I knew I was transgender. I laughed at the jokes in stand up comedy routines, and prime time sitcoms, and animated comedy shows, and in the movies, and in books, and in games, laughing at trans women for existing, about “men in dresses”, about people who “got their dicks chopped off”, and I learned to think that was worthy of ridicule.

And then a day came when I felt a pang of envy at what my female classmates were wearing and I repressed it, and felt guilty, and a day where I felt incomplete because I had no breasts and I repressed it and I felt disgusting And a day when I realized the only images of romance that made me feel anything showed two women together and I repressed it and I felt like a monster And a day when I realized I felt sick when I looked at myself in the mirror after every shower before work and couldn’t bear to look at my own face, and I hated myself. And then there came a day when I hated myself so much, and I thought I could never understand why, and so I just wanted it all to end. And it was just a miracle that I swerved my car back into my lane in time.

And all of it started with a joke that I heard on TV, and then kept hearing from all the voices from the ether, over and over and over, worming an idea into my mind before I was old enough to realize I was absorbing it, the idea that a man in a dress is funny, and that changing your body parts makes you a freak, and that women who have penises instead of vaginas are liars and hurt men. And they’re still making these jokes. And somewhere out there right now, just like all those years ago, there is a little girl in a t-shirt and cargo shorts with buzzed off hair watching the TV, hearing that joke and absorbing it without knowing it, who will someday have to pry herself apart to tear it out of her head, just like I did.

That is, if she doesn’t kill herself first.

What do you do when no one else is around? 🤔 😉

Crank my hog till my load hits the ceiling and then after i cry about the crushing weight of fascism leaking its way into the heart of everything i hold dear. Sometimes ill throw on a lil carly rae jepsen as a nice counterbalance though.

Like this but on your tv

genuinely why must all drama shows/movies involve romance. Tell me about the lady who has been secretly juggling two best friends and doesn’t want them to find out about each other. Tell me about a kid who is sick and tired of their family and leaves to find a new one. Tell me about that guy who thinks he has nobody and then realizes that he has a friend group who is there for him. Please !

It's like posting up one of those apocalyptic sirens every mile marker with a constant mantra of "SEX SEX BABIES REPRODUCE MARRIAGE BREED SEX BABIES" like damn can I just watch someone discover the joys of pottery for a minute

mfers will say "im against book banning in schools and libraries!" and then turn around and say ao3 needs to be censored

Holy **** oh right okay. So I was about to make a post about how using speech to text has already been a game changer for me but as you can see by the line of asterix at the start of this post the bloody thing auto censors swear words. (Yet bloody got through, ig Because it is a description and also British slang.). Hint: the word I was trying to say there starts with F and ends with K.

Oh and guess what else you can't say you can't say? **** [Nipples]. had to type that myself. penis is ok but **** [clitoris] isn't, and all my attempts to say "clit" were Misunderstood, which may just be my speech but at this point I am not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Vagina is OK too but every time I say it there is a moment when an * shows up on screen first before the full word does. this doesn't happen when I say the word penis.

It is completely heinous. Anybody who needs speech to text is immediately forced to comply with the rules set out by people in a position of power and then enforced by a machine — a machine that is a very powerful accessibility tool. Imagine trying to dictate a letter to a doctor or fill in an E consult with speech to text, only to have words of your anatomy censored as if they are taboo. there is already far too much stigma around genital physical health — and note that I could say genital but can't say **** [clitoris] — for it to be okay for these words to be censored.

And even if somebody just wants to swear In a message to their friends or write smut/**** [pornography], they should be able to. There is no justification for this feature. No reason for it to be default.

I'm trying to find a way around this. There is a settings icon on the little speech to text bar that comes up, but this only gives me options For the speech typing launcher, auto punctuation, and to set the default microphone. it's making me extremely angry

Fucking hate watching children go “um Actually UwU” about AO3. saw someone say that fixing a bug with bookmarks isn’t a good reason to close a site down for a couple hours and they’re all lying about what they spend money on

meanwhile this very week my actual day job shut down the internal programmes for idk how many hours to fix a minor bug that popped up out of nowhere. I mean??? I don’t know shit about IT but “shut down all functions while we fix a problem” is so damn common. And “oh this took longer than we said” as well.

The number of horror movies where someone drops something down the sink, reaches in to grab it, and has their arm shredded by the garbage disposal is proof that we are also scared of them

many strange things in the usa but the scariest thing to me how common the garbage disposal unit is. why does your sink have teeth. thats some horror house imagery to me.
