you know how the fandom in general tends to write/depict/perceive Hannibal perceiving Will as dainty and cute and tiny and princess and baby girl? Well, what if Hannibal actually perceives Will as manly man my man my man who does manual labor my man who fishes and comes home in dirty boots my man my sweaty rough unrefined man take me choke me lemme ride you yum yum yum? something to think about

hannibal establishing his therapy practice as one where it seems right and proper to show up wearing formal or business wear, thereby placing a kind of unspoken agreement to present yourself at your best while also revealing to him your certain worst aspects of yourself. therapy becoming something not just gut-wrenching and vulnerable, but something that requires you to dress yourself and confess. one does not rip out their hearts while wearing jeans and a t-shirt. if one must be exposed, do so with elegance and beauty. there is no place for tragedy if it cannot be polished and refined

as someone who cries really easily at fictional shit it’s so hard trying to explain that the thing i cry the most at most consistently is an episode of a sitcom where a community college plays the floor is lava

The Hannibal fandom needs more fics with this dynamic post Mizumono
Hannibal: Tell me Will, does the image of St. Mark's Basilica in combination with its reflection on the water bellow evoke musings about the vague boundary between past and future to you as well?
Will: fuck you

community characters as jellyfish (this is purely based on looks because i can't find any videos on jellyfish behaviors)
abed nadir - west african stinging nettle jellyfish
reason: favourite jellyfish, favourite character, plus look at them side by side, they're the same !!
troy barnes: moon jelly
reason: my 2nd favourite jellyfish and 2nd favourite character, but very close to abed and his jellyfish. also they are the same thing fr !!!
annie edison: mushroom cap jelly
reason: frilly and cute but passive aggressive
britta perry: white spotted jellyfish
reason: this one was purely off of vibes
jeff winger: pink meanie jellyfish
reason: he looks fine, inviting almost but he has deadly defenses to keep things at a distance

community has a lot of lessons to teach but one that i think has always resonated with me is this journey to not specifically accepting being average, but accepting that no one is better than anyone else . just this whole group of people who have some reason to believe theyre better than the people around them who have to come to terms with the fact that theyre just as bad as the people around them . and the character who struggles with this the most is jeff .
in beginner pottery, we see a flashback of jeff and his mother -- with her telling him that hes special and amazing . and because of this, he's so fragile about being worse than someone at something that he genuinely goes fucking insane over it . jeff has this crazy reluctance to accept that rich is just a great guy so bad that that he spends so much of his time researching pottery, trying to find some sort of thing that could make him go "ha HA!" at rich . and the only way he managed to get over it in this episode is by finally accepting that he isn't any better than anyone, imagining his mother now correcting herself and telling him that he is just a perfectly normal guy, who is good at some things and bad at others .
as someone who not only grew up as a gifted kid, but also a chinese person in a white-majority country, i had it drilled into my brain from a young age that i had to be special . im not a chinese standup comedian -- im not going to say that my parents never told me they were proud in me, because thats not true . in fact, its honestly the opposite . ever since i was a kid, i had to deal with being told that i was smarter or more talented; and thats really what drags you down, because now that the expectations in place for you are so high, when you realize that you arent actually much better, it hurts so much worse . thats what pushes you to stay up all night reading the entire encyclopedia of pottery and going crazy .
i think that learning to be average is harder than any acedemic stunt ive ever tried to pull . jeff went from being a lawyer who had italian faucets and got almond facial scrub shipped in from finland to a student at a community college with a study group consisting of a bunch of weird people . and his struggle throughout the entire series revolves around his superiority complex and his very slow acceptance that, yeah, he really is just as bad as all the people around him . despite taking three steps forward, then two steps back on his journey towards accepting mediocrity, in the end its alright -- because thats what change is about .
ive said this a million times but with every series theres characters that i kin that are dissimilar enough to me that i can actually like them . and then theres characters that i kin so hard that my dormant self hatred kicks in and i want to rip them into bits . jeff is the latter . i hate him so much
