giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.

I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.

this is gonna fall into the void for sure, but if like one person sees this and it gives them some new info i’ll have done my job so!!

- traditional w*ndigo do not have antlers; they are not related to deer in original tradition

- any w*ndigo pictured w antlers/deer features was likely created during/post colonization

- bryan fuller putting a w*ndigo in his extremely non-native *white* show was a big misstep

- just bc the intention was to portray a w*ndigo, does not mean that is what they did

- continuing to name (and especially joke about, fangirl over, etc) the “w*ndigo” in nbc hannibal is disrespecting plains native traditions and our continual asks that you please leave alone traditions that aren’t yours both for your safety and ours

in conclusion: it is not a w*ndigo, and there is no reason to call it a w*ndigo, bc it’s not accurate, it’s disrespectful to algonquian cultures, and if you say the stag man everybody knows what you’re talking about anyways.

the wrath of the lamb

[shrikesandstarlings]

Fellas is it gay to visit your ex boyfriend in the insane asylum and the first words he says to you is ‘I can smell you’re still wearing that shit aftershave’ then he also guesses that you have a kid now and says I gave you a child and then you’re both wracked with grief reminiscing about the child that said ex boyfriend slit the throat of when you said you wouldn’t run away to Italy with him

Sorry no, I’ll forever be insane about the fact that Hannibal carried Will through the snow after being branded and suffering multiple injuries, including a bad one to his leg, and killing Mason’s henchmen.

What are they trying to tell me

[shrikesandstarlings]

Will and Hannibal’s relationship draws heavily from the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Hannibal, like Orpheus, descends into the underworld of human depravity, seeking connection and transcendence, while Will becomes his Eurydice—a figure torn between two realms

In the series finale, "The Wrath of the Lamb," Will and Hannibal’s embrace as they fall off the cliff can be interpreted as Hannibal’s failed attempt to bring Will entirely into his world. Will’s choice to destroy them both reflects a tragic inability to fully reconcile their dualities.

This mythological framing is reinforced by visual cues and dialogue referencing rebirth and transformation. Hannibal's therapy sessions with Will often evoke themes of death and renewal, echoing Orphic hymns and the idea of creative destruction.

I was watching Dexter and another character was like super rude to him and my immediate thought was "Lady, you are so dead" but Dexter was like "I can't kill her just for being rude" and I think this is a perfect example of the way my brain belongs to Hannibal lmao

Hugh Dancy + writing lines for the most romantic scenes in the show

god forbid a trans man carry his baby and/or breastfeeds his baby

god forbid a trans man writes OCs or AUs including a trans man carrying his baby and/or breastfeeding his baby

seahorse dads (trans men who carry their babies) are absolutely wonderful and strong and deserve respect. non fetishy fictional depictions of this also deserves respect

so many queer people still treat this like its something weird, or it’s a fetish, and when u bring it up u get weird looks or “WHAAA MPREG!!??” type replies. shut the FUCK up!!!!

trans people like this exist in the world!!!! just because you think its weird (its not btw) and you think anything weird is automatically fetish material doesnt mean it actually is. LEAVE TRANS MEN THE FUCK ALONE!!!!!!!!!

[shrikesandstarlings]

I just need anti-electoralista on the left to understand, there is one candidate calling for the military to come round us all up to "take care" of us, and it isn't the only y'all spend all day kvetching about and spreading very obvious alt-right talking points about.

"The enemy within" THIS IS FULL FUCKING FASCIST SHIT. THIS IS NAZI SHIT.

[shrikesandstarlings]

how many times did Will fantasize about getting pushed against this ladder for him to have a visceral reaction to Hannibal cornering him like this? slut, whore, harlot.

[shrikesandstarlings]

You can romantize Hannibal all you want, I do it too, but don't be fucking brainless and try to fight or cancel fans who actually have a brain and depict in their art or talk about the dark side and atrocities Hannibal is willingly to do. Stfu and watch the fucking show before saying "omg mimimimi he would never hurt Will like that" stupid ass citizen in Christ...HE WAS GOING TO SAW HIS HEAD OPEN. HE SHOVED AN EAR DOWN HIS THROAT. shut the actual fuck up.
