I Just Watched The Hannibal Finale And I Dont Know If My Brain Is Ever Going To Function Normally Again.

I just watched the Hannibal finale and I don’t know if my brain is ever going to function normally again.

not me going through the matthew fairchild tag to see what I’ve missed and pretty much reblogging every single post that I come across

10 years ago today, Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way went back in time to sedouce Volxemort and protect all of us from his evil plans

reblog this post to honor Enoby’s brave sacrifice, ignore if you’re a prep or a poser

It’s just generally that the amount of inconsistencies keeps growing with each book series, and in part I think it’s natural for an author to evolve and soft-redcon or change some stuff over the years. But she should’ve never done Livvy/Cameron the way she did it in the first place, so now it’s just a mess. Plus there is something to be said about Malec (as much as I love them it just makes my headache worse whenever I think about this whole age-gap situation).

And I 100% agree that Charles is still shitty for what he did and it’s telling that some people don’t even realise.

Maybe because they’re too young themselves to fully understand or because Cassie (and other ya authors) has been normalising this -even if just accidentally- for years.

it's really interesting how the fandom took charles and alastair's age gap as something clever cc did to show us how toxic charles is. when in reality thule!livvy and thule!cameron had the exact same age gap (their's was worse bc he knew livvy way longer and we don't really know when they started dating) and their relationship was described as something sweet and romantic, and even julian said how happy he is that livvy found someone.

so like...it wasn't cc being smart and a good writer...it was cc being weird and kind of shitty yet again...because she clearly didn't even think about their ages.

also, before someone says something. no, i am not defending charles, he was still a shitty boyfriend who put his career over alastair. it's just something i noticed.

The real tragedy of the Matthew/James & Alastair relationship and what happened at the academy is that they could’ve 100% bonded over hating that place had they had an opportunity to open up to each other the way James and Matthew did with each other.

It just struck me that the people viciously bullying Alastair where the same close-minded people that bullied James as well.

They all developed different coping strategies depending on their own unique circumstances and personalities: Alastair felt forced to adapt because he had nowhere to go, feeling unsafe at home, James pretty much tried to disappear into his books, and Matthew evaded victimisation through his charms and privilege while actively trying to get home so he could reassume his parentified role in caring for Henry.

Obviously James & Matthew were kind of cut out for each other, and as mentioned they all had different circumstances, plus Alastair was a lot more disadvantaged socially from the onset, but I think if they had been in the same year and gotten lucky he might’ve had a chance to get along with James and/or Matthew.

Because even though they weren’t aware of it, their very antagonisation of each other (just like James & Matthew initially) stemmed from their different reactions to what was a similar experience with and disgust for the society they where thrown into at the academy.

When cordelia said “I cannot and never will love you in the way you wish to be loved, Math. I know I must not let there be false hope between us.”

Which Matthew replied with “Am I so hard to love?”
