Someone: Sweetie, shipping a cannibalistic serial killer with an FBI Agent over 20 years his junior is not healthy :)

Me: Bitch, let me tell you what isn’t fucking healthy: completely misconstruing the plot of both Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal to make it seem like Hannibal Lecter brainwashed Clarice Starling into being his lover, when she was the one that very clearly initiated the sexual aspect of their relationship, which naturally follows from the attraction in Silence of the Lambs and results in her spending the better part of a decade loving and lusting after him in equal measure, not to mention the fact that Hannibal Lecter was ever only the perfect gentleman towards Clarice (and everybody else, unless they hurt him, threatened to hurt her, or were terribly rude) and I have ample evidence from Hannibal, Chapter 99, onward that proves my point, including but not limited to: saving Clarice’s life from a sadistic, psychotic pedophile and his horde of bloodthirsty pigs, helping her overcome childhood trauma, and placing her in front of a mirror to emphasize the fact of how fucking beautiful she is, inside and out, so don’t you DARE tell me that their relationship is unhealthy because they started off on opposite sides of the law and you need a conveniently black and white narrative to keep track of what’s right and wrong in your life how about you just let me enjoy what I enjoy and don’t ever fucking call me sweetie again I am not going to contract diabetes at such a young age from your sickeningly sweet tone and insincere endearment I have the rest of my life to live and ships to ship, goodbye

Thinking about the line 'A little water clears us of this deed' in comparison to Hannibal and Will Graham throughout the seasons. For example;

Will's first kill - Hannibal rinses his bloody knuckles in basin of clean water.

Hannibal after the events of Mizumono - stops to rinse his face in the downpour outside.

The two's first kill together - They tip off of the cliff together, into the ocean below.

“We’ll withdraw now, while they are dancing on the terrace- the wise Barney has already left town and we must follow his example. For either of them to discover us would be fatal.”

I DONT CARE! I’D FOLLOW THEM TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!

I am heartbreakingly in awe of the strength of the Ukrainian people.

Some things that really stuck out to me from the coverage I've watched so far:

Ukrainian officials requested that a no fly zone be placed over Ukrainian territory and Russia has not just been bombing military targets, they have been bombing areas in cities filled with civilians - they have shelled multiple Ukrainian nurseries, kindergartens and an orphanage, killing numerous children

Ukraine's UN ambassador told his Russian counterpart that "there's no purgatory for war criminals, they go straight to hell"

A Ukrainian soldier went onto a bridge during battle to detonate a bomb on it knowing he would die in the process

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president has refused offers to evacuate him and is insisting on staying above ground in the capitol (Kyiv) which is currently being bombed and invaded by Russian troops. Russia claims that they are willing to have peace-talks if Ukraine surrenders - Zelenskyy (rightfully, in my opinion) has refused

It is estimated that 100,000 Ukrainians have fled across the border to neighbouring countries so far. Polish citizens have been offering to drive them where they need to go and also offering them places to stay. Women and children have had to leave male loved ones behind at the border as Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 have been barred from leaving the country in order that they may be conscripted into the Ukrainian army

Russian soldiers on a warship told Ukrainian soldiers stationed on a Ukrainian island (Snake Island) that they were about to invade the island and told the soldiers there to surrender and you could hear the Ukrainian soldiers over the radio saying "so this is it" because they knew they were going to die and then they told the Russian warship to go fuck themselves

There is a video of a Ukrainian woman going up to Russian soldiers and telling them they are cursed and offering them sunflower seeds (the national flower of Ukraine) to put in their pockets so that when they die on Ukrainian soil at least sunflowers will grow

I am so sorry to every Ukrainian for what you are going through. Putin is a despicable man. I am deeply impressed and humbled by the strength your people are showing - I don't know that I could ever be that brave.

So, how about that today's meeting between the leader of the free world and Donald Trump?

This is what ardent NYT *conservative* Bret Stephens is saying.

Anyone with any sense knows that yesterday was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.

trump got to see Ukraine's rare earth metals firsthand today, in the form of Zelensky's massive Ukrainium balls

[stacybal4ever]

president zelenskyy is a stronger man than me because if two ignorant and deluded men like trump and vance started demanding i say please and thank you and calling me disrespectful like im a naughty child instead of a very traumatised and frustrated man trying to save his country from putin id have put them both in the ground with a single fucking punch
