Depressed, grumpy but playful author...

Hey. Hey guys, remember that black-boned chicken soup thing Hannibal made for Will in Season 1?

Yeah, this. Let’s talk about this for a bit, because there are two very important things about the Traditional Chinese Herbal Silkie Chicken Soup (藥膳烏骨雞湯）that I need, like, every single one of you to know:

1. It’s good as hell. Now I know that those who’d never had silkie chicken before would likely take one look at this, and immediately go “oh so it’s just a funny-looking chicken. Probably one of those overrated and overpriced ‘delicacies’ that’s only there because they’re ‘unique’. Probably just tastes like regular chicken soup anyway. Or probably kind of gross” I can guarantee you it’s not like that AT ALL. This thing is crazy good. The meat is so incredibly tender it falls right off the bone, the sweetness of the herbs combined with the intense flavor of the silkie chicken creates this rich, fragrant broth that honestly makes me emotional just talking about it, and that black skin is gonna melt on your tongue like thin slices of rice wine-infused butter. “You made me chicken soup” Bitch I will make YOU soup and use your goddamn skull as a bowl. I can’t even LOOK at a bowl of regular chicken soup without getting depressed ever since I had my first taste of silkie chicken soup at the age of five. Arguably the most controversial parenting decision my mother’s ever made

2. We can find these “black-boned birds prized in China for their medicinal value since the 7th century” anywhere here in Taiwan as. Ready-to-eat food packs. And they’re always on sale at our local supermarkets

This entire pot is like. 8 US dollars

fake relationship but its a king and his concubine that was once an amazing soldier but he couldn’t go up the ranks for whatever reason so the king was like listen. hear me out. you can be my strategy dude. u just gotta be okay w walking around shirtless a lot. and soldier dude is like man that’s an UPSIDE and yknow they end up falling in love

[aethersea]

some idiot advisor: I can’t believe his majesty lets his boytoy attend these council meetings, it’s an insult to the noble institutions that uphold our nation, it’s an outrage—

a somewhat smarter advisor: you’re just mad bc he pointed out how dumb your naval attack strategy and no one laughed when you made a mean joke about him

[fieldbears]

Boytoy has gone from a top fighter who was well respected but in constant danger to wearing silks and eating grapes on daises. That fucked up rotator cuff was the best thing to ever happen to him

[mzminola]

Bonus points: at least half the other concubines are experts in assorted fields, the monarch brings them to relevant meetings to both play up a reputation for frivolity, and make sure at least one person there doesn’t have an outside agenda.

did you mean: my chief strategic advisors

HANNIBAL (2013 - 2015)

[flurrin]

Lottie is Gay and Doesn’t Know It

1. She is exclusively attracted to princes, despite having never met one.

She won’t even DANCE with boys at her party who aren’t princes despite thinking they’re good boys who would treat girls well (she advises the boy she doesn’t want to dance with to find someone eager to dance with him, rather than tell him to go home).

To me this comes across as her choosing “prince” as the ideal that she finds attractive solely because it’s theoretical, the imaginary Perfect Boy who doesn’t exist. This is common among young people who aren’t exposed to homosexuality but don’t feel attraction to people like they’re “supposed” to.

2. She’s never comfortable around Naveen, always thinking about things that have or could go wrong.

Part of this self-consciousness is obviously because he’s a fake, but even when she’s set for marriage and all her dreams are coming true she’s antsy and upset and lashes out at her dad while trying to over-please the fake Naveen.

She also glances nervously at the priest right before the pronunciation, as though still dwelling on things that could go wrong rather than her happy moment–and this is the scene in which she’s been the MOST visibly relaxed with the prince.

She’s realized something’s wrong with HER not feeling attracted to the prince, despite him being “perfect” for all intents and purposes, and she doesn’t know why that is.

3. She doesn’t kiss Naveen right away despite saying in the opening that she’d kiss 100 frogs if it meant becoming a real princess.

Tiana interrupts her sure but only AFTER she’s been counting and recounting Naveen’s story back to him. She’s stalling because she doesn’t want to lock herself into another marriage with someone she’s not attracted to.

4. She doesn’t actually want to marry a prince, she just wants to be a princess. When she’s proposed to she barely pays any attention to her rapidly-transforming, lying fiancee because she’s so enamored with the image of herself as royalty. She actually shoves him away.

5. She’s absolutely in love with Tiana and still doesn’t know it.

She compliments Tiana more than any man in the film. She respects all of Tiana’s life decisions even if she doesn’t even slightly understand them because of their different perspectives, supports her dream of a restaurant even if she doesn’t share it, and is willing to give up potential romance with a prince, the thing she has dreamed about all her life, at the drop of a hat to comfort a humiliated Tiana.

And then there’s this line.

Charlotte La Bouff is only actually willing to kiss a prince if it means her best friend Tiana’s dreams will all come true.

‘‘I kissed Alana Bloom.’

That is not what he was going to say. Fuck, he’d practised enough on the drive over.

Doctor Lecter, I hope I’m not disturbing you.

Doctor, I’m sorry if this isn’t a good time.

Hannibal, I’m freaking out and I need your help.

The final one would have been red flag enough to indicate the distress he’s feeling: he’s not yet allowed himself the intimacy of trying out that name on his tongue. And it’s kind of ironic because intimacy is a word that he’s been associating a lot with Hannibal Lecter of late.’

Are you going to let his love go to waste? It’s a courtship. He sent you his heart. It’s beautiful.
