this morning we didn’t have a photo of 10-years-post-show Mads and Hugh that looks like an engagement announcement and now we do. never kill yourself
Things I think happened during season two's therapy sessions/date nights we didn't get to see:
- Fucking, tbh.
- Sleepovers. We see scenes where they are drinking wine and it's raining and dark out, maybe some nights it was too late or the rain or snow was bad so H told Will to stay. He probably left early, maybe even before H woke up, but it could've happened okay??
- H telling Will about Mischa and his parents. We know Will knows more about Mischa because Chiyoh asks him something and he answers like he knows the story, so H told him and the "I let you know me, see me" was waaay too raw so yeah, 100% he opened his heart out to Will about the whole thing. I think Will also told H about his childhood.
- Casual talks about random shit. I bet Will changed the aftershave, or not but I bet they revived that conversation. Or about food preparation, preferences, too, I just know H wanted to know Will's favorite everythings.
- Little touches. Come on, H tucking a lose curl in those fireplace, wine nights? It happened. Will delicately touching H's lower back as he passed by a smaller space.
Rewatching Hannibal hits different after actually going to therapy.
That scene (S1E1) where Franklin cries in session and has to beg for a tissue? I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a moment that's easy to overlook, but it says everything about Hannibal as a “therapist.”
In every real session I’ve had — individual or group — the tissue box is right there. Within reach. Sometimes it’s passed to me without a word. Because emotions are expected in therapy. You're not supposed to feel like you're interrupting, or worse, inconveniencing your therapist for needing something so basic.
But Franklin? He’s practically apologizing for needing comfort. And Hannibal doesn’t even look surprised — they clearly meet weekly. He knows Franklin gets emotional. So why not just place the box by his side beforehand? Is it about control?
And then the room itself. It’s massive. Dark. Imposing. It doesn’t invite vulnerability, it demands performance. It makes the patient feel small — like they’re being judged, not understood. And honestly, that fits. Because Hannibal isn’t there to help Franklin. He’s just observing. Curating. Playing the role of “therapist” while providing none of the support.
It hit me that the younger me kind of sided with Hannibal in that scene. Found Franklin annoying, whiny, maybe even gross (that tissue shot. yeah, the show knows what it’s doing). But now? After living with anxiety, after learning what a good therapist actually feels like?
It’s crystal clear who the real asshole is.
first half of season two hannibal is low-key hilarious because it's just hannibal committing absolutely gruesome murders with some sweet poetic undertone for will and then showing up to visit him and say shit like, 'this killer must be like, in love with you or something'
yotsuba sickness
Can’t wait for, like, 2025 when we look back on the 2018/2019 era and say “hey, remember when we were all really freaking depressed? That was a crazy time! Glad we aren’t like that anymore”
always remember, friend,
now go in peace

L would never come out
‘near is a cheap copy of L 😡’ yes and he knows it. He knows it in his fucking bones. That’s the worst part, right? He was trained to be another person. And he’s not. There is no way for him to ever fill that role because L, more than being a job, is a human. Who can never be replicated. Who died at 25 years old and left no instructions on what to do after. Near had no interest in Kira really beyond that L must solve the Kira case; he doesnt even really seem to like solving detective cases in general. When all is said and done, Near is a cheap copy of L. Because the tragedy of death note is that no character can ever exist alone, but they all will be when it’s over.
Authors who post like this are so deliciously unhinged. At this point it’s not even a fic- it’s a literary hostage situation, and i am ✨sat✨ ☕️
Thanks to @gameswillbeplayed for the idea, I love Wammy's shenanigans and I love Mello being batshit crazy passionate about the most random shit

i know a lot of people mock when certain songs are overused on character playlists but I will never judge someone for putting bubblegum bitch on one. If you decided that your little tv guy is miss sugar pink liquor liquor lips who am I to say he’s not
i wonder if the people who see me smiling at my phone think I'm dating someone. because for your information I'm actually smiling at an anime boy dying for his rival slash partner
Currently thinking of the scene where the ferris wheel is about to fall on them and Noe covers Vanitas and his fingers are in his hair.
Chapter 121.5 as told by people's reactions from the activity page. Lives were changed
comic strip / commission for my best boo @Nezumiii_YZ on twitter, please consider supporting her art, she deserves it!!!
some of my current favorite responses to weird/confusing sentences:
“many such cases”
“we love/hate to see it”
“honestly, work”
“many are saying this”
“love them or hate them they’re spitting straight facts”
“you conjure a beautiful world”
"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there
When you’re mid sentence and suddenly forget literally everything you were talking about
