If you're here from other fandoms, you may consider visiting to my personal blog, hannibalcatharsis-zero. I created an account because of NBC's and Bryan Fuller's Hannibal and to try show some support This series helps me to an extent I can't really put into words, so I used the one I think comes closer. My fan art is under /tagged/my-hannibal-fan-art

Palestinian lady collects gas bombs fired by Israeli army. She grows flowers in these bombs.

What the AP photo story neglected to show was that this garden is in memory of Bassem Abu Rahmah, killed by Israeli forces with a tear gas to the chest in 2009 in Bil’in. The garden was planted and is maintained by Bassem’s mother.

Do you guys sometimes just sit in awe thinking about how amazing this fandom is? I mean— The series ended ten years ago, had only three seasons, was made at a low cost because the creators and Hugh Dancy insisted on Mads Mikkelsen instead of Hugh Grant or someone else. And:

  • fans have created an entire universe based on the productions in which Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen starred
  • a convention dedicated to Hannibal takes place in London every year
  • Mads and Hugh are still friends
  • Mads and Hugh have been touring conventions since last year. The events sell out every time. It also happened thay they got the main convention hall, and even then, the event sold out
  • in the US, at their first convention together in years, the organizers had to extend the photoshooting hours of Mads and Hugh because they didn't expect such interest
  • Mads skipped the world premiere of the film he was starring in to fly to Japan with Hugh
  • in Japan, there was a special dinner as part of the convention (expensive). It sold out pretty fast
  • we randomly receive madancy photos every few years
  • fanart from the series hangs (or was hanging) in the United States Capitol (a government building!)
  • academic articles about the series are being written
  • fans often publish zines
  • a tons of fanfics and fanarts are still being created

PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.

Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:

But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.

I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.

Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:

If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.

So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.

Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.

So I can find this later.

It’s so crazy that suicide prevention is just people going awwww don’t!! Awwww come on noooooooooo stopppppp

One of the best ones I saw was a thing noting that every single one of the few survivors of suicide jumps off of the Golden Gate Bridge realized, on the way down, that the problems they were killing themselves over actually were fixable or could be worked through...except for the now - extremely unfixable - problem of gravity.

Went to the Holocaust Museum in DC once. There was a video interview of an Auschwitz survivor who said he and some other prisoners stayed up all night with a man who wanted to kill himself. The man didn’t kill himself and survived to liberation.

In the video the survivor said “Never seek a permanent solution to a temporary problem. And they’re all temporary problems.”

Hearing that from a guy who survived the Holocaust rewired my brain a little bit.

I think something a lot of people don't understand is that depression is not suicidality, and suicidality is not depression. People can, and are, depressed without being suicidal, and sometimes suicidality peaks as people are emerging from depression. Suicidality is a wave, and the trick is to allow that wave to crest and subside WITHOUT acting on it. Whatever it takes to ride it out. For some people that's distraction, like watching television. For others it's calling a friend -- not to talk about the suicidality, but just to talk. For others it could be as simple as going to sit in a coffee shop or library, because the presence of other people is a huge diminisher of suicide risk. That's what suicide safety planning is about. It's like having any other type of emergency plan, like a plan for fire or evacuation. It's making a plan when you are in the frame of mind to do so, so that you can just DO the plan without having to think about it when the occasion arises. When you're in the midst of suicidal ideation, or even intent, you're not in a problem-solving mood. So knowing past!you, with the help of a therapist hopefully, came up with the plan and all you have to do is follow up until the wave crests and subsides, is what allows you to see another day.

ETA: Here's a link to a safety plan. https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/988-safety-plan.pdf
