One of the joys of a role switch AU, is like - as an example - watching IDAU Will trying to provide IDAU Hannibal something that canon Will would have wanted, but that IDAU Hannibal does not necessarily want or need.

And vice versa, obviously.

You can have an alternate version of Will who has chosen, all on his own, to define himself in large part on his active ability to do harm to others. BUT having already embraced that part of himself does not mean that IDAU Will wants anyone else in his life to even know about his “true self.” He doesn’t want to be Seen or accepted or understood or any of the things canon Hannibal is after, but those are things IDAU Hannibal wants to give him because they are things both versions of Hannibal want for themselves.

will graham is really just drifting before hannibal huh. doesn’t really know who he is. is starting to lose track of where he is. he collects strays to try and fill something. everyone knows he’s a little neurotic and will plays into that because it keeps people out. loneliness is his only constant companion. reflects everyone except himself because he knows something in that self is rotten. he’s published a monograph on insect behavior and tries to be good with his lecturing job but everyone knows him for the weird freak disorder he has. he’s bored. he’s trying to be good. keeps himself busy with his strays and and his lures and his boat engines. problems he can control and things that can’t look at him. he’s starved. it’s perfect

if vampires existed in real life i think there would be shady companies advertising “organic blood” sourced from “willing donors” who are coincidentally all poor people being paid like $5 per blood donation. and like haughty vegan vampires who only drink a synthetic blood drink thats brewed in a way thats actively worse for the enviroment. and radical traditionalist vampires who go on tiktok and claim that true alpha chads have to drain and kill people and anyone who leaves their victims alive is a liberal cuck. enter the world of hypothetical insufferable vampire politics with me.

The explicitly pornographic ads paired with porn bans to appeal to advertisers is really aggravating, but I also want to take a moment to complain about really disgusting ads. Cartoon person with disturbingly photorealistic boils and shit, getting giant worms pulled out of their bodies, body horror shit like that. What the fuck is this supposed to be advertising? Why would you show this? Why can’t I block it? It always pops up when I’m trying to eat, too. Why is this allowed? Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU

I’ve been getting a lot of these over the last few days and I’m sick of it.

“if being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now” okay well being soft on myself isn’t working either so what the fuck is left. medium? I gotta be medium with myself? I gotta ask the fucking ghosts for help? is that it?

I used to work with preschoolers and as a consequence watch parents work with their preschoolers so I kind of in my head often compare it to that.

You can’t let a preschooler wander off into traffic naked even though many of them would very much like to do that. At the same time though you also shouldn’t yell at them for struggling when they can’t figure out how to tie a knot because that’s a hard task and they’re like three.

No you can’t go out in the rain without a coat on. I know you don’t like sleeves but you don’t want to get cold and wet either do you? But you do want to walk to church and see your friends. Sometimes we’ve gotta do things we don’t like to avoid things we’d like even worse. But you get to see your friends once we get there.

And sometimes you’ve gotta talk to yourself like you’re a preschooler. And it weirdly works.

I know you don’t like doing the dishes but you like having dishes to eat off of, right? Yeah I know it’s upsetting but we’ll make a nice cup of tea and have a cookie afterwards. Oh I know it’s hard. It’s okay to cry. Let it out and then we can finish the dishes and get a cookie.

this asshole had the entire city scared he was going to lead some kind of klan march and rampage through an immigrant neighborhood. he showed up yesterday with about 5 people and “marched” less than one city block before counter protestors super-soakered his ass in 10⁰ weather, pushed him back to his hotel, and ran him out of town. so so so proud of my city

My child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they’re dumb and lazy, like all kids these days.

kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i’m 19 he’s 18 and the woman at the door didn’t want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i’m still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy’s hand while they play video games. kids aren’t just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we’re addicted to our phones because there’s nothing else to fucking do

I’m sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don’t have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society.
