GIRLFRIEND PROPAGANDA ‼️‼️

She’s hot, she’s actually real, she’s a bookworm a theatre nerd and a dancer, she’s bisexual, she hardly even has a gender, she cares about Shakespeare and Hadestown and Discworld, she’s literally the perfect person ever go vote for her now

[cringeworms]

I'm writing an analysis of gender performativity in The Silence of the Lambs for my gender and sexuality class and in the course of my research I have encountered so many bad takes!! I can't not say anything so I've come to Tumblr to rant.

The most common criticism I see is that the ending of "Hannibal" discredits, undoes, or diminishes Clarice's feminism, autonomy, or power, or that it ruins the message of SOTL. That indicates a complete misunderstanding of Clarice and the point of the books! The point of "Hannibal" is to show that it does not matter how amazing, powerful, or how much of a feminist you are: if you are a woman in a career, especially a federal career, the system is designed to put you down and keep you quiet. I think there is nothing more she could have done and nothing she could have done differently to prevent her disgrace. When the system is set up to put men in power and keep them in power, your talent and integrity do not matter if they decide they don't want/need you anymore. There is nothing she can do to prevent the label of "female officer" from haunting her credibility. Even Crawford, who respects her and fights for her, sees her with the caveat of "woman." The one man who does not consider her gender any sort of detriment or a reason to treat her differently is Hannibal Lecter. They have genuine mutual respect. When she chose to be with him, she chose respect, love, and comfort over a life of fighting to be recognized, respected, or listened to. Just as much as it is respectable for women to fight for their right to be recognized in their careers, we must also recognize that that fight should not need to exist in the first place. So, why should there be any shame about choosing not to fight that fight anymore? She spent years in an uphill battle, and she probably never would have escaped it (to no fault of her own!). The ending of "Hannibal" is Clarice raising a middle finger to the system, the FBI, misogyny, and the patriarchy by recognizing that she deserves unconditional love and respect and that the system she fought so hard for was, in fact, completely undeserving of her talent or presence. Her decision is powerful and empowered!

"She was brainwashed!" she literally wasn't. Hannibal tried that (I believe because he was so unfamiliar with the idea of love or family that he didn't know how to understand Clarice outside of the lens of Mischa) but he was unsuccessful. If she was able to resist his efforts of brainwashing while in an altered state she certainly had the strength of mind to make her own decisions. Her decision was not impulsive. Also, I think it serves as a testament to her influence and power over him. She gained control of the situation and he didn't resist that. Ultimately, Clarice chose to spend the rest of her life with the one man who ever truly saw her as more than just a woman, who admired her intellect, and who respected her enough to challenge her. That is not weak, submissive, or misogynistic. Quite the opposite. She chose to leave behind the life she put years of effort into building (because she knew it would be fruitless) in favor of being finally honored and appreciated. That takes courage! She knew her worth, and she knew the FBI didn't deserve her.

Also, anyone who paid any attention to the books saw the romantic tension throughout the story. It didn't come out of nowhere. She really just needed an opportunity or an excuse to be with him, and she was finally presented with it.

I think reading the ending to "Hannibal" as anything other than empowering is a mischaracterization of both Clarice and Hannibal and shows a lack of understanding of the message of the books. I think it reflects a shallow understanding of not only the books, but of how feminism operates IRL (especially during the 80s/90s).

I also must give the disclaimer that I do not think these books are epitomes of feminism or representation. The transmisogyny, racism, queerphobia, etc., are obviously inexcusable. Just because I interpret their message as a story of caution about how misogyny operates, and how it is respectable to choose a path that does not work within that system, does not mean I agree with everything presented in them or any of their harmful rhetorics or stereotypes. I have a STRONG love/hate relationship with these stories and I don't ever mean to undersell the "hate" part of that lol.

insane how people act like charles is ‘the jealous one’ like edwin didnt spend the whole first episode screaming crying throwing up every time charles looked at crystal and not him

[lightfromandromeda]

[grechsblog]

YOU LITERALY HAVE NO RIGHT TO REPRIMENT TGHEM FOR THAT

[awweshuuks]

Some kny tweets are so funny but then they make obanai a major simp for Mitsuri and like threaten EVERYONE that talks to her like nooooo 😔 (and the alpha wolf discord kitten relationship but that’s a whole other thing..)

yea he got annoyed with tanjiro but he already hates him and imagine ur crush hanging out closely with someone u despise. I doubt he would be like that with EVERYONE that talks with her considering she's like the sweetest and most outgoing person there 🙁.

I love their relationship and yea he IS much more sweet to her but being totally jealous is WILD.

Oh and yes I am totally aware that its just for gits and shiggles and honestly I don't really care if people DO do it just as long as they don't think its cannon 😔

Canon Obamitsu>>>>>fanon Obamitsu (for the most part, some can be cute)

[chuuzmii]

any time someone says eddie is just as bad as shannon i actually start shaking like a chihuah. Like Eddie was always going to come back (unless he died or something) but he was ALWAYS coming back home and he still answered their calls as much as he could so he could talk to his son. Like was he wrong for leaving again without talking about it with shannon? Lol yea he was dead wrong for that but it wasn't like he wasn't going to come back. And also he was working? U guys act like being in the military was a fun little vacation my boy was fightibg for his LIFE he almost DIED??? shannon left and didnt talk to her son for almost 3 years and if the school didn't let her know they were in LA would she have even come back? Like ur comparing a man who dug himself out of 40ft of mud to get back to his son to a woman who couldn't be assed to even send her kid a bday card for 3 yrs.

[netflixnormalthings]

robin and nancy can't die they need to experience the 90's. just like in general

[bigb-enthusiast]

People who are talking about bigb having the wrong texture pack for the task may be right but i think they should shut up and let people have fun… im people who wanna have fun.. let bigb gave this one thing that yeah may be a mistake but its still fun to make stuff for him considering all the other evo members have Something going on…..

Grian, pearl, and martyn all won seasons! Jimmy has his own curse! I think even tho its a mistake bigb should be cryptic and have cursed task. Be the secret keepers special guy. You know.

Edit: i should clarify im just teasing, mostly

[lesbian-hannibal]

we as a society moved on from love quinn too quickly

[mothgardens]

Super cute of Dean to give permission to an angel and a demon to possess his younger brother. Then, instead of apologizing, he began talking about how much people are hurt when they are around him.

Super adorable how he didn’t even let Sam get his frustrations out or even really talk the situation through. Super sweet how he immediately turned the situation around to be a Dean moment.

oh, to be happily married to gojo and toji, unaware that geto has been perving on you ~

warnings: smut obv (includes voyeuristic!geto, dp, mmf/threesome, unprotected sex, 'baby' as your petname, dumbification, dacryphilia, possessive husbands who are also menaces in the sheets <;3)

c'mon im offering (pls)

voyeur!geto watching you get dp'ed and doted by your husbands?? hello???

like, it's a miracle geto didn't unleash the ultimate catastrophe as soon as he learned about your marriage to the two?? it was initially a plan made by the higher-ups to ensure you, a special grade, aren't loitering around but you've known gojo and toji even before the arrangement was made, so they willingly ask for your hand, much to the old geezers' displeasure.

oh, how he despises the thought of even sharing you.

but...

he also wonders if things could've been different for him? had he not turned out the way he was now, would he have the chance to ask for your hand, too?

poor geto tries his best to control himself—his anger isn't towards you, no no. but now, he has to live with the fact that his future queen is married to not one but two men he hated most—the infuriating smart-mouth he once called his best friend, and Zenin's very own disappointment.

absolute forces to be reckoned with.

so, the best he can do is wait for the right time. though he wouldn't be caught dead with his ways as a peeping Tom, how could he resist learning more about what makes you smile the brightest?

or what makes your cheeks burn the hottest?

or what makes you scream the loudest?

earning and receiving your affection have become a competition between those two—from buying you your favourite treats to being the first to give you a massage after a long day.

but, even when the two fight for your attention like the rent is due, it's when they'd put aside their differences for you that never fails to make your face grow hot.

having to control his own anger and raging hard on as he watches you—pretty blissful you, cock drunk pressed up against you, toji against your chest while gojo against your back. gojo licks your sweat off the back your neck, letting out the most lewd groan in your ear.

toji holds your head up by the cheeks, his signature wolfish grin as he continues to stare in your tear-stained yet lustful eyes.

"it's too much isn't it, baby?" toji's condescending tone was clear, but you couldn't care less nor feel shameful about it, "aw, it is? oh, my poor baby."

gojo's was no different, opting to hear your mewls even more by thrusting deeper into you, the smack of his hips against your much more obscene than the rest. your toes continue to curl and dig into the stained sheets, unable to stop yourself from dripping down their cocks.

not when the whole point of having you in between them is to turn your brain to mush and mark you both in and out with their cum.

"of course it's too much," he cooed, shooting toji a quick yet frightening glare for hogging your attention before the usual lilt in his voice returns, "she's my sweet dumb baby."

you raise your head a little higher, releasing a shaky moan as toji licks a stripe up your neck—absolutely unaware of the menacing pair of eyes staring at you on the other side of your window, craving to see you in your most intimate, practically taking in the sight of your delicious body glinting from the sheen of sweat and the beads of cum that decorated across your face.

also, there's something about toji and gojo knowing that there is in fact intruder watching, and it doesn't take them long to know. they may not agree with each other on a lot of things but more often than not, they can be quite similar at times, including now.

being the only ones who are allowed to see you this way, to feel you, to mark you.

to protect you.

bonus:

this man has a breeding kink, and you cannot tell me otherwise.

but his urges have only escalated after the Cursed Child arc, where he not only learns about Yuta and Rika, but also the fact that they're under your care. something in him just gets released upon seeing you protectively push Yuta behind you.

just the thought of having his own little ones, possibly raising a bundle of joy, a reminder of two powerful beings looking after them; you and him.

the overwhelming yet pleasant urge only turns into something darker when both gojo and toji stands before you, widening the distance and keeping a close eye on geto for the way his eyes linger on you for too long.

he takes his leave after declaring a war, satisfied to meet Yuta and watch your husbands barely able to restrain their outrage as they watch geto kiss the back of your hand.

his goals may not be something to achieve overnight, but he'll kill thousands if not millions more if there's a silver of hope to have you by his side.

he's all too pleased with the thought of his future, looking forward to the day he finally gets to call you his and ravage his bride-to-be.

right in front of your husbands.

[ghost-bxrd]

ok listen abt the game - it would take me abt a week of nonstop work and it wouldn't be terribly sophisticated on the first pass but i'm so fr i could make it happen. i'm a writer with some cyoa experience, i've got a free basic coding program that does everything u need for a point and click game (i made one on there when i was like 11) and i'm decently competent with it/able to learn what i don't know. so like. say the word. art (backgrounds specifically, I can totally rip characters from comic screenshots if needed) and copyright are the only things in the way.

Omg that’s— both terrifying and absolutely amazing! 😨✨

The pain of knowing we could all work together and create something amazing for the entire community but aren’t allowed to because of copyright is painful 🥲
