Will in the script for TWOTL: *is often considering killing Hannibal/being rough with him in general*. Hugh Dancy, after reading it: “that’s my dumb but beloved HUSBAND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE”

h o n e s t l y

The thing I love the most about this show really is how obviously open to the actors input they were? I mean hannigram happened at all bc Mads was playing it that way and Bryan was like “yeah okay I’ll rewrite some stuff, that’s a great idea”.

And I love the fact that Mads and Hugh were so into it? In so many fandoms you see the male leads get pretty uncomfortable about the fact that people think they might not be playing a red blooded heterosexual, but they really just leaned into that dynamic with each other and they clearly enjoyed every minute of it

And Hugh changes the dynamic in the finale almost entirely from what it was intended to be in the script? Clearly the directors saw what was being done and were like “yeah that’s a better idea actually” so it can’t have been just his call but

In the script Will is pretty antagonistic towards Hannibal during the entire escape portion, and instead we got a lot of fond, exhausted exasperation. And at the end, he’s supposed to lunge forward and knock Hannibal off the cliff, which really could not be further from the tender embrace and gentle, willing on both sides, fall that we got

I love it

I was walking in the forest during winter, and saw a wendigo sitting under a tree. I asked it if it was going to kill me. It said, “No, this is just a dream.” So I sat next to it in the snow for a bit and then he said, “The anger in your heart warms you now, but will leave you cold in your grave.” And then I woke up.

So I had a thought about Will’s sleeping attire, in Coquilles and in general.  Those infamous blue underwear are IMPORTANT, okay, and not just in a fanservice way. (Though I am ALL FOR THAT.  Give the ladies what they like, Fuller, let’s female gaze all up in this show).

It’s perfect that in these moments of intense vulnerability (when Will’s brain first starts betraying him and he begins sleep-walking) that this is his outfit.  Specifically, that he’s shown as having a shirt, but no pants.  It conveys his vulnerability effectively and viscerally.

Imagine for a minute how different it would have been if he had no shirt but longer pants (pajama or otherwise).  Even if it were technically showing more skin, I don’t think that would have conveyed vulnerability in the same way.  It’s acceptable for men to wear no shirt in public.  It’s not illegal, or even frowned on in plenty of contexts.  It’s something that men can do that women cannot (don’t get me started that’s a whole other rant).  It’s for hot days and games of pickup basketball, shirts vs skins.

But for men to wear very short shorts / only boxers in public is seen as unacceptable or funny.  For corroboration of this, I mean, look at all the various names for this garment I’ve come across in fandom: itty bitty blue shorts, booty shorts, fanservice shorts, tiny man shorts etc.  These names get across the idea that having boxers that short is feminizing, and thus funny (because they’re on a man!) but also vulnerablizing (it’s a word now shut up).  They leave him exposed in a way that him having his shirt off would not do.

(And it’s not like any of this is merely because Hugh Dancy didn’t feel comfortable acting with his shirt off for some reason: Will has shirtless scenes, in a different context.  Those contexts ALSO cleverly manage to emphasize Will’s vulnerability, since it’s less about being where people can see him and more about pulling off a too-sweaty shirt in disgust because he is subject to these horrific nightmares that he cannot control).

So let’s hear it for the directors, and the costume department, and whoever else was involved in this costuming decision: not only because it lets us see those premium gams, but because it directly contributes to making Will the kind of captivating, unconventional (because allowed so much vulnerability) hero that he is.

Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.

This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.

If we can, we are probably going to keep her.

I feel like the reason certain dog-lovers insist cats are evil is because they read their body language as if they were dogs. So here’s a very basic guide to common “mean” things cats do that actually aren’t mean at all if you know what they’re thinking.

Rolling and exposing belly- attacks you when touched Does not mean: Give belly rubs! - haha I tricked you!  Actually means: I’m playful! If you reach for my belly I’ll grab your arm and bite it because I think we’re playfighting! 

Lazily exposing belly - still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: I’m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please don’t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if I’m not ticklish and I know you well. Snapping at you while being pet Does not mean: I suddenly decided I dislike you! Actually means: You’re petting me in a way that gives me too much restless energy. Please focus on petting my head and shoulders instead of stroking the full length of my back next time.

Is in the same room but makes no attempt to interact Does not mean:  I’m ignoring you Actually means: We’re hanging out! I’m being respectful by giving you space while still enjoying your company. Slapping/scratching your hand when you try to pet them Does not mean: I hate you! Actually means: You’ve failed to establish that we’re not playing, or the way you’re approaching me scares me. Be calmer, speak more gently, make eye-contact and blink slowly at me before you try again.
