#When he’s in prison he’s like “Well how tf am I supposed to tell Jack this. This is gonna sound really stupid and weird in retrospect ☹️ ”

My current favorite Hannibal crack theory is that he’s just a guy who misunderstood what having a “biting kink” entails, and everything spiraled from there. Now the FBI is after him for cannibalism and serial murder just because he wanted to switch things up on Grindr.

He’s like “I’m committing to the bit by roasting this human person to eat. Good for me tbh”

true history of the kelly gang: film liveblog and thoughts 

***spoilers***

i am LOVING this scenery :) 

"My dear child, I know what it is to be raised on lies and silences. That is why I write to you now. So you do not grow to confuse fiction for fact and view your father in an unsavoury light, as I did mine. You see, your grandfather were a son of Ireland, a Son of Sieve, ripped from his home by his English oppressors and transported to the prisons of Van Diemen's Land, Australia. I do not know what was done to him there, as he never spoke of it, for he were a man who chose to keep secrets from his kin. But I've come to learn secrets shackle one tighter than any chain and lies fester long after their invention, so as you read this history - my history - know that it is for you and will contain no single lie. May I burn in hell if I speak false."

ESSIE :)))) 

so, this film is focusing on a young ned kelly?

is that a... OMG!!!!!! 

“i’m the butcher.” 

“I know what you were trying to do. You English have been doing it ever since you dragged us here. Trying to bleed our culture out like you did the Blackfella before us.“

i knew that whole “niceness” was just an act

“harry power. the man, the myth, the legend.”

either ned or someone else is going to kill that cop, aren’t they? 

I'm writing my story. When a man farewells this world, all he's got left is his story. Don't leave it for the English to tell it. They'll only fuck it up and steal the proceeds.”

is that mad dog morgan? 

JACK CHARLES :)))) 

poor ned :( 

it’s like the angel and devil on his shoulder

“nothing comes free in this world, son.”

didn’t mean any harm? what exactly did she think was going to happen to him?

um... this is really, really gay

ned and ellen have such a complicated and messy mother/son relationship - i love it. 

“So, I figure if you hate on something for long enough, well, he just comes to love you anyway, just for those few moments when you don't.“

“which kelly are you?” “edward. people call me ned.” “the child assassin.” 

“I got swooped by a magpie while cycling and used my face to stop in a tree.” “A magpie?!” “Yes. Everything in this fucking country is trying to kill us.” 

how old is kate supposed to be? 

this isn’t you? how tf would he know who ned is? 

what does that mean? 

ellen really went for the jugular :) 

this film is doing a really good job at depicting colonial violence without the need for being too graphic, brutal and staying in their lane. 

it’s not what i was expecting but... i really don’t understand all the hate this film has gotten. like, it might be a bit slow and all but, it’s really good.

and it’s started...

“nothing scares a man like crazy.” 

“every man should be an author of his own history.” 

is that a reference to ned wearing the metal suit of armour? 

“We are but stolen men in a stolen land and we are to take back what is rightfully ours.”

the british out here just wanting to and intending to steal everyone’s child’s from them.

“you’re just a man... ..on his way to be hung. we all are.” 

we’ve had “boy”, “man” and “monitor” 

"The English would dwarf my army in size, but not in spirit. Like the Whiteboys, Ribbonmen and Levellers before us, we would be the Irish rebellion to take down the Crown. We'd not repeat the tragedies of Vinegar Hill or the Eureka Stockade. This time, it were to be the police, not us, who would be trapped inside their horror like a bird inside a church."

knowing how this ends for them just... it makes it even worse. 

HE’S WEARING THE BULLETPROOF ARMOUR :))))))) 

“it’s hard to be strong when you speak.”

harry power was right - they will take the story for themselves, spin it in their own way and ignore the truth. 

THAT FILM WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
