If I am ever in a coma, play this scene and I will wake up to laugh at Hannibal and pretentious ass soup.

nbc’s hannibal is an excellent comedy

A mini babybel is a semi-hard cheese encased in a colored wax with an outer cellophane wrapper, placed in a netted bag. To reach the cheese you must unravel three layers; the netted bag, cellophane wrap, and colored wax. Tell me, Will…what shall I find when I peel back your layers? Will I find something satiating? A rewarding and delicious journey, inevitably leading to your demise, but my fulfillment?? Or am I to uncover your true self and set you free, unimpeded from that which binds you?

I will periodically update the progress amounts. As the goals are met, I'll mark them as funded and change the colors from green to pink to make it clear. I'm also tagging the ones that could use more attention with red.

Been hearing a lot about "reparations" lately? Well, this is one way to start working towards that, since those in power certainly won't.

Black Lives Matter is very much not about fandom perception of black characters in media and thinking you have the right as a white person to put that alongside the issue of systematic murder of black people is pretty fucking gross

Okay first off, my sincerest apologies for not being here to respond to this message. My attentions have been elsewhere from this blog and the main, so I’m sorry I never got to this sooner, especially when it’s so pressing.

You’re right to call me out, I got too bold to make such a claim and while I do stand by the fact the Hannibal fandom has a problem with antiblack racism it was absolutely not the appropriate time to bring it up - or more specifically, it was not appropriate to attach it to BLM. Thank you for holding me accountable, I’ll delete the post (but leave this ask up, ofc; I don’t want to avoid accountability). I apologise again for my inappropriate conduct and insensitivity; I’ll be much more conscious of what I say and when I say it - and esp if I should be saying it at all - from now on. 

[lovebunnie]

bro are you fucking kidding me with a hannibal reunion like you might as well take a syringe and inject serotonin directly into my brain im going absolutely MAD

I make love as a beast. In the first night everything is decided. We take in our teeth all we desire. Hyenas, tigers, raptors are my escutcheon. –

“You can turn around in the dark, with the man who wants your heart looming so big, so big over you, and you can give it to him, so bright and red and pure that it destroys him.”

Wale Ayinla, from “revenge”

[bostonpoetryslam]

“As a child I watched our butcher fillet steaks with delicate flicks of his wrist and wondered at the sinew-striped muscle along his shoulders. This was before I knew about bodies— how badly they want to stay whole, how intimate the strain of unmaking. If I crack your bones with my teeth, you are my bones. If I swallow the gleaming muscle of your heart, I feel a second pulse.”

— Erinn Batykefer, “Vestigial Epithalamium,” published in Bramble & Thorn

“If romance is a ballad, we are its authors and its victims and finished in four minutes.”

We appear

like feral things in the fir trees, intricate and bewildered

by the script in us.

Tell us what is written in the flesh of us.
