If you want to extend this metaphor, in Venice, Will asks Jack why he let Hannibal go, and Jack says “Maybe I needed you to do it [kill him]”.
Not a bible scholar, but that seems like a very pre-rebranding Old Testament god thing to do.

Are there any fics about old Hannibal and Will, years after the fall??? And can someone please send them to me?????
link is just slightly bitter (completely in his head) about how seemingly easy it was for Zelda to move on. in reality, she's just way better at faking it than him. link still feels like a ghost some days, and this can interfere with his perception of people sometimes. they are stumbling through recovery blind, but slowly in the right direction. we can only hope they'll make it together
love that the women in Zelda games are allowed to be feminine without immediately being useless or dumb (most of the time)
"when-" *loud incorrect buzzer*
Yeah I'm not letting this stay in the tags. Your thoughts are on my blog now

i generally dont understand when ppl look to art as a means of political activism. I feel as if every artist who sets out to enact positive change with art gets co opted by bourgoise interests.
I'm not saying you can't talk politics in art. I do that myself, but i dont expect my visual novel to like fix racism or whatever.
During the Vietnam War... every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.
-Kurt Vonnegut
"In our struggle for the liberation of the Chinese people there are various fronts, among which there are the fronts of the pen and of the gun, the cultural and the military fronts. To defeat the enemy we must rely primarily on the army with guns. But this army alone is not enough; we must also have a cultural army, which is absolutely indispensable for uniting our own ranks and defeating the enemy."
- Mao Zedong, Talks at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art, 1942 (emphasis added)
Mao was, of course, correct to say this, because he won the war, so clearly the overall strategy worked. But we are not in 1942 and we (proletarians) do not have An Army nor do we even have A Party (which is the first step). In the western world in 2025 we are much closer to the situation described by Vonnegut. Artists are operating either as individuals or as employees of media companies. Unorganized individuals can make political statements via art but without mass coordination of the message there will be limited impact. And of course artists who are operating as employees can hardly be said to have any ability to make political statements outside of an extremely narrow range. But the point is that even if you get every artist in the western world to coordinate on the message, if they have no party and no army, then they will ultimately not be able to liberate themselves.
Moreover, education about socioeconomic issue such as racism, strictly speaking, does not require art in order to educate people. In fact, if someone is educated about racism (or another socioeconomic issue) ONLY through art, WITHOUT materialist theory and factual history, their understanding will surely be incomplete. And i think that state of affairs is extremely common among the Tumblr userbase.
