Hello, Sweetie!
Me during Seasons 1-4 of Lucifer:
If God shows up and he is not Morgan Freeman I will be so upset.
Me after the first part of season 5:
I'm watching season 5 of Lucifer and have such a deep hatred for Michael... It's rather rare to feel that for a fictional character.
"Oh, it's you. One of my favorites. So wonderfully depraved. Tell me, why are you honoring me with your presence, Mr. Lindemann?"
"Am I honoring you, or are you honoring me, Mr. Langdon. What do I want? Everything, of course. What else?"
"Everything? But don't you already have everything? Money, fame, women. Men? What else could you possibly want, hm?"
He stepped closer to the singer and touched his cheek gently.
"So... You crave more? Experiences? Emotions? Something deeper than you've experienced so far? Something... riskier? More extreme? How's your relationship with pain?"
"Oh, it's you. One of my favorites. So wonderfully depraved. Tell me, why are you honoring me with your presence, Mr. Lindemann?"

Oh my...
The Lee is strong in that one.
Gotta appreciate the nod to one of the greats though.
fun fact for you all: bram stoker started writing dracula just weeks after oscar wilde’s conviction…….we really are in it now
Dracula! And Oscar Wilde! YES! *drops papers everywhere*
I’ll just casually drop this here–it’s a long (and good) read, but essentially, the author argues that:
Stoker wrote Dracula as a direct reaction to the Wilde trials
Many of Dracula’s characteristics actually echo Wilde as described to the trials, and Dracula’s lifestyle resembles an exaggerated version of precautions to hide homosexuality
Stoker is basically the pro-closeted 1890s alternative to Wilde’s flamboyancy, and that comes out in how he portrays Dracula and Jonathan Harker
Like if you look deeper into Stoker’s letters to Whitman, he’s practically obsessed with feeling “naturally secretive” and “reticent”
(Also he and Wilde had some weird personal rivalry going on, since Stoker married Wilde’s definitely-not-straight ex-fiancee, though later they were friendly…there’s a lot to unpack here)
So, arguably, Dracula was Stoker’s way of apologizing for his silence during Wilde’s trials.
Some highlights:
Wilde’s trial had such a profound effect on Stoker precisely because it fed Stoker’s pre-existing obsession with secrecy, making Stoker retrospectively exaggerate the secrecy in his own writings on male love.
It is difficult, Stoker admits, to speak openly about “so private a matter” as desire. In carefully calibrated language, Stoker asks forgiveness from those who might see that his silence is a sin-to those few nameless souls who know his secret affinity with Wilde.
Since Dracula is a dreamlike projection of Wilde’s traumatic trial, Stoker elaborated and distorted the evidence that the prosecutor used to convict Wilde. In particular, the conditions of secrecy necessary for nineteenth-century homosexual life–nocturnal visits, shrouded windows, no servants–become ominous emblems of Count Dracula’s evil.
Dracula…represents not so much Oscar Wilde as the complex of fears, desires, secrecies, repressions, and punishments that Wilde’s name evoked in 1895. Dracula is Wilde-as-threat, a complex cultural construction not to be confused with the historical individual Oscar Wilde.
tl;dr:
Stoker is actually too repressed to function
Oscar Wilde (especially his trials) absolutely influenced Stoker
Dracula gay
Fun fact! Stoker and Wilde both courted the same woman, but Stoker married her so Wilde moved to England. They absolutely knew each other (and both probably made out with Walt Whitman at one point)
Okay cool but what about the rather openly anti-gay undertones in Dracula, no. 1 being that the count never bites a man, cause biting represents penetration and that’s a big nono?
Also, the fact that the count is killed by penetration by (straight) men to reestablish the “natural” order.
Then again, the first vampire novel with a nobleman as vampire has only been published 81 years earlier by John Polidori. And that noble man vampire was clearly molded after Lord Byron who was famously bisexual.
So yay, rainbow vampires.
Cooking with Hannibal: Sanguinaccio Dolce (recipe)
Today on cooking with Hannibal: Sanguinaccio Dolce. This dish is an Italian (Neapolitan) desert that is typically served during carnival. Hannibal made this for Frederick on several occasions. Last seen in 3.08: The Great Red Dragon.
You need:
1 pint (about half a liter) of whole milk
1 pint (about half a liter) of fresh pig’s blood (You can usually get that in slaughter houses or at your local butcher. Make sure it’s pig’s blood. It keeps a nicer colour than bovine blood. You might want to put it into a blender before using it. Blood clumps quickly.)
12 oz. (about 350g) of dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), broken into very small pieces
1 pound (about 450g) sugar
½ tsp vanilla
Cinnamon (if you like the taste)
How to make it:
Slowly dissolve the sugar in the milk. Keep stiring well. You don’t want it to burn. Stir in the vanilla.
Add the small pieces of chocolate and stir until they are fully melted. Don’t let the mixture boil.
Add the pig’s blood. Stir constantly until the mixture is combined. Keep stirring. It will thicken up as the time goes by. Add the cinnamon (as much or as little as you like)
Keep stiring until the dolce reaches a pudding like consistency.
Serve hot or cold (will harden like a pudding) with bread, cookies or fruits. Hannibal served it in half an orange. That’s a lovely idea. Chocolate goes very well with orange.
Enjoy!
Hannibal-esk twist: I’ve read stories about people using some other kind of blood for this (or a very similar) dish. In some parts of Europe this desert was served at weddings. Half of the blood came from the groom, half from the bride. They would eat the desert together as a symbol for really belonging to each other from that day on which makes it a bit weird that Hannibal and Frederick… Anyway…
