I think the reason that I find Hannibal to be such a good show is that I am so used to unsatisfying endings for characters who should have been allowed to be queer. Donāt get me wrong, Hannibal is a great show independently, but when compared to everything else itās even better. My main fandom is Deep Space Nine - a show thatās producer was overwhelmingly queerphobic and sexist. The main queer pairing that gets shipped in the show is appealing for all the same reasons that hannigraham is - the characters have very different morals and wind up changing each other - but at the end, they go their separate ways and one of them winds up with a woman who he was only put with in the last couple of episodes. After getting my heart broken by queerphobic media, Hannibal put it back together again.
it's worth knowing that Bryan fuller worked on deep space nine and regularly talks about the details of garashir they managed to get onto the show, even fighting the likes of Berman all the way
okay THIS is the post that made me put Hannibal on the āto-watchā list

I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that not only is William Shatner a Supernatural fan, he's also incredibly weird about it
I looked this up because I was convinced it couldnāt be real but no William Shatner actually has very strong, very strange opinions on Supernatural
Gay as fuck to be a female starfleet officer. Why are you boldly going where no man has gone before? To look for a woman??
4x04 honestly had such a tng/ds9 vibe to it and I love it. therapy and counselling? a shuttle crash AND a bunch of cadets who have to work together to get off the hell moon they crashed on? some people having new uniforms and some still having old ones? people playing cards in the bar? high politics and diplomacy, a planet (re)joining the federation, some truthful and valid commentary on the federation and its policies? a captain's log? hell yes! plus they actually mentioned cardassia and bajor. and confirmed that saru is still a captain even though he's also the first officer which adds a little bonus reference to kirk and spock in star trek v & vi and I think that's beautiful

hi I still think it's important to make more people aware of this-
the end credit art in hawkeye?
yeah, it's so clearly meant to look like david aja's style and, despite making profit from it, disney did not pay him a cent. nor did they even bother crediting him.
from aja's twitter:
it even takes note from matt hollingsworth's minimalistic coloring style used in the comics, and, as far as I know, he's also getting nothing for it.
I'm caught between "the art in these credits is so cool!" and "disney just fucking pay comic book artists please" (these panels get it)

im glad tumblr doesnāt have a verified feature because it means whenever a comany wants their own url they have to snipe somebody elses blog to get it and it always creates such a huge backlash on here that whatever the brand was hoping to accomplish on tumblr becomes impossible due to the unfiltered hostility emanating from the userbase
Writing tip: if you need to provide a lot of worldbuilding information at once, but donāt want a bunch of characters explaining things to each other that they already know, have somebody do something terrible thatās related to the thing you want to explain, then have them morally justify themselves in a way that requires them to explain the thing.
Recognised variants:
The āitās not what it looks likeā explanation

The āit was a hard decision and you should pity meā appeal
The āhereās why I had no choice but to do what I didā rationalisation
The āI was justified because fuck youā rant

France has always and I mean ALWAYS had a history of Islamophobia...but, for those of you who donāt know whatās going on right now:
Theyāre trying to ban the slaughter of Halal chicken, citing animal cruelty and claiming Halal (I believe they also discussed Kosher) methods of slaughter are unethical compared to the European practice of stunning the animal (the Halal way of slaughter would be a cut to the jugular vein so that the animal feels no pain).
They then moved to ban the wearing of the Hijab (the Muslim headscarf) for girls under 18 in public places.
They also want to ban Hijabi mothers (women who wear the Hijab) from accompanying their child on school field trips.
Furthermore, they want to ban the Burkini (a swimsuit that a lot of Muslim women wear) at public swimming pools.
These restrictions (I have definitely not covered a lot of them) fall under Franceās Separatism Bill which still needs to be passed by the National Assembly. France maintains that these actions are to uphold secularism (the separation of religion and state).
However, these targeted laws and the statements accompanying them...
The Hijab ban was the āprohibition in the public space of any conspicuous religious sign by minors and of any dress or clothing which would signify an inferiorization of women over men.ā This is a commonly used trope about Islam and Muslim men; that they are oppressive of women which is absolutely not true...take it from a Muslim woman! š§š½
Emmanuel Macron said that Hijab is ānot in accordance with French idealsā. This again alludes to the misconception that Hijab is oppressive and that by taking it away, we are liberating women. I donāt deny that there are women who had Hijab forced upon them, but what France is not acknowledging is that the forcing of any religious action upon people is completely the opposite of Islamic teachings and that there are actually women out there who can make decisions about what they want to wear...Surprise! It may come as a bit of a shock to them...
...just showcase how deeply rooted these laws are in Islamophobia and how France is maximizing restrictions on daily Muslim life just to...be a white saviour?
There are five million Muslims in France right now and they are all being affected by this.
As of right now Iām trying to find ways to counteract this. @feel-like-studying has linked a petition in the replies of this post. Iāll also link it here:

One particularly annoying newspaper, which published a slight alteration on Amandaās headlineā āI married a little green man!ā -received an interesting riposte from Amanda, when she was interviewed on one of the broadcast news services shortly thereafter: āThere is nothing little,ā she said with great dignity, āAbout my husband.ā End ID.]
