My list of songs so Hannigram coded it’s insane and the lyrics that make them so:
Salt in the Wound- Boygenius
‘You put salt in the wound, and a kiss on my cheek. You butter me up and you sit down to eat’
‘Neck full of mockingbirds all calling your name…I’m gnashing my teeth like a child of Cain’
I’m Your Man- Mitski
‘You’re an Angel, I’m a dog. Or you’re a dog and I’m you’re man. You believe me like a God, I destroy you like I am.’
‘I’m sorry I’m the one you love, no one will ever love me like you again so when you leave me I should die. I deserve it don’t I?’
Famous Last Words (an Ode to Eaters) - Ethel Cain
‘Look at me baby, dead in my eyes. It’s the end of our holiday, but it isn’t goodbye. Carry me with you all of the time.’
‘Eat of me baby, skin to the bone. Body on body until I’m all gone. But I’m with you inside.’
It Will Come Back- Hozier
All I’m gonna say is first verse is Hannibal POV, second is Will POV talking to eachother I could write a damn essay on this song and Hannigram
Shrike- Hozier
‘The words hung above, but never would form. Like a cry at the final breathe that is drawn. Remember me love, when I am reborn as the Shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn.’
‘Had no idea on the ground i was founded, oh that goodness is gone with you now. Then I met you, my virtues uncounted. My goodness is goin with you now.’
‘Back to the hedgerow where the bodies are mounted’
Abbey- Mitski
‘I am hungry, I have been hungry, I was born hungry, what do I need?’
Butchered Tongue- Hozier
This one I think is Will when he married Molly and settling into his new life but still looking for Hannibal in everything.
UPDATE:
Talk- Hozier
Once again getting into the Greek mythology themes and Hannigram parallels. Orpheus and Eurydice as Will and Hannibal haunts me.
‘I’d be the immediate in Eurydice, imagine being loved by me.”
Paralleled with the scenes of Hannibal and Wills seperate “I forgive you”.
Me and My Husband - Mitski
‘At least in this lifetime we’re sticking together.’
This is a little cracky, but this song reminds me of the way Hannibal and Will are chasing potentials and scenarios where they can stay together. Teacups and all that and yes the world is on fire but Hannibal and Will are together so it’s okay.
Breezeblocks- alt-j
Enough said.
NFWMB - Hozier
‘Give your heart and soul to charity. Because the rest of you, the best of you Honey belongs to me.’
The possessiveness of Hannibal and Will over eachother is insane, we know this. And I think people forget that Will is just as bad as Hannibal about it. (Just see any interaction between Bedelia and Will for evidence)
Salvatore- Lana Del Rey
“The summers wild and I’ve been waiting for you all this time. I adore you can’t you see you were meant for me?”
“Catch me if you can…dying at the hand of a foreign man, happily.”
Once More to See You- Mitski
“But with everybody watching us, our every move. We do have reputations, we keep it secret, won’t let them have it.”
“If you would let me give you pinky promise kisses then I wouldn’t have to scream your name.”
Televangelism- Ethel Cain
No lyrics in this one, just piano and the sound of me crying softly. This song is EVERYTHING the Primavera scene was in Dolce. Please listen. The slow build, the melodic flutter of a heartbeat the rise and ascension when they see each other and smile at one another, the acceptance of fate, the knowledge of love. “You and I have begun to blur.”
anything - Adrienne Lenker
“I don’t wanna be the owner of your fantasy I just wanna be a part of your family.”
Savior Complex- Phoebe Bridgers
“Drift off on the floor, I drag you to the shore. Sweating through the sheets you’re gonna drown in your sleep for sure. Wake up and start a fire in our one room apartment but I’m too tired to have a pissing contest, all the bad dreams that you hide show me yours I’ll show you mine.”
“Baby you’re a Vampire, you want blood and I promised I’m a good liar with a savior complex.”
Pre-Mizumono to Post-Fall Hannigram can be found everywhere in this song.
OKAY OKAY THATS IT IF YOU STAYED THIS LONG THANKS IF YOU WANT MORE HANNIGRAM LISTEN TO MY PLAYLIST ITS CHALK FULL OF ANGST

An assortment of more or less ridiculous Danish phrases to incorporate into your day-to-day life! (part the 2nd)
strømpesokker (noun, fk. pl.) – socksocks Or stockingsocks, if you will. It's socks either way.
(hjemme)futter (noun, fk. pl.) – (home)choos I literally had no idea how to translate this, but basically futter (fut in singular) are like slippers or any kind of cozy, comfortable shoes you'd wear indoors. I don't know why we sometimes call them that, but fut is also the sound a train makes. Thus: choos.
blamsefi (noun, fk.) – blasmephy Blasphemy, but wrong because it sounds funnier like this
idyd (interj.) – indeed This is what we in Danish tend to call an undersættelse (see below) of the English indeed. I 'in' and dyd 'virtue', but it kind of sounds like deed. Again, I don't know anyone who uses this except from my immediate family
undersætte (verb) – transearly (extremely not literally) Allow me to explain: in Danish translate is oversætte (lit. over + set, likely a calque of Latin trādūcō via German übersetzen). When you underdo the act of oversætte, so when you translate something badly, especially if you do it too literally, you have not translated it – you have transearlied it (excuse my creative liberties here)
hils (verb, imperative) – tell them I said hello You can use this in literally any situation when someone announces they are going anywhere at all. To Austria? Hils! Grandpa's uncle's dog's funeral? Hils! The restroom? Hils! (even better if it's not a public restroom). However, this is traditionally used to tell someone to tell the person on the other end of a phone call hello from you
knep (interj.) – fuck (literally) Literal translation of English fuck. This is considered extremely vulgar in the same way that I think fuck is to especially older speakers of English (?)
stande (verb, dialect) – refurb An alternate way to say istandsætte (long, boring, standard Danish) in the dialect of the area of Jylland where I'm from (Salling). It means to fix, repair or refurbish
slo (adj., dialect) – stale Literally means the same as stale, which (imo) doesn't have an actual word in standard Danish. Your crisps got old and soft? Slo. Bread old and dry? Slo. Straw wet and moldy? Slo. Soda lost all its fizz? Slo. Again, this is sallingbomål <3
goddawsbjerg (interj.) – g'day-hill Say this when it is clear someone has not been following what has been said or has happened around them, kind of as to say "thrilled you decided to join us mentally as well as physically". As for the prevalence, I literally don't know anyone outside of my immediate family who uses this
idyllerisk (adj.) – idyllicish Literally just idyllic but funnier
bajselademad (noun, fk.) – pinchocowich Bajselademad is a portmanteau of the words bajer/bajser 'beer' (slang, so I used pint instead of beer) and chokoladelademad 'chocolate sandwich' (open faced, obviously). It literally just means a beer
puttesove (verb) – tucky-sleep A sorta cutesy, joking way to say sleep. Putte is the word for tucking someone in, as well as just chilling in bed – with at least a blanket or duvet if not several in addition to pillows
diskodaskoluderbenzin (noun, uncountable) – disco dasco whore gasoline Excuse the misogynistic overtones, but I just genuinely think this is a very funny was of describing low percentage vodka- or rum-basesd drinks (for example Bacardi Breezer)
kodyl (adj.) – aspirin Kodyl means great or exaggerated, and you can also use it as an interjection kodylt! like you would use 'swell!', because it is pretty outdated. Kodyl was originally a brand of painkiller
hurtigkneppersko (noun, fk. pl.) – fast-fucker shoes Expensive men's shoes, usually of some kind of skin, be it leather or snake. It implies the wearer of the shoes is a braggart with nothing to really brag about. This was added to the dictionary fairly recently, to the great amusement of many Danes
slam! (onomatopoeia) – whack! An onomatopoetic word imitating the sound of being hit. Used not unlike the (now somewhat outdated) English "oooh, burn!" or just "ouch!" to indicate that something said to someone in your company was (perhaps unnecessarily) blunt, rude, or just shut them down really quickly – like a slap to the face
hjemmebragt (adj.) – home mrade Or, more accurately, home brought. Most commonly used for baked goods (originating from hjemmebagt 'baked at home') that you intended to make yourself, but you just didn't have time, so you bought it at the corner store instead. Its use has, however, in my experience been extended to include most anything that """should've""" been homemade, but isn't
konge (adj.) – king When something is really good, it's konge. Anything can be konge, from a chair to the meal your mother cooked you on your bi-annual visit at home.
brugsvildledning (noun, fk.) – user misleader · deceptions for use A play on the word for 'user guide', brugsvejledning, swapping out the nominalised form of the verb vejlede 'guide, lead' for that of vildlede ' 'mislead, decive'
ork (noun, fk.) – bear An ork is something that you just really cannot be bothered to do, because it would require some kind of effort. Doesn't matter how much effort, as it could be anything from getting your drink that you forgot in your kitchen, only realising this after you sat down, to explaining to your homophobic uncle why it's not acceptable to call gay people slurs, even if it is "just a joke". Most often, it is the former of those two scenarios
dak (noun, uncountable) – boom* Short for dakkedak, which is an onomatopoetic name for music with a strong, repetitive bass rhythm. *this is a bad translation, but it's the best I could come up with
gråssenollike (noun, fk.) – greyish feather-brain A joke-y name for a house sparrow, gråspurv. Gråsse is presumed to either originate from plain gråspurv or gråsset 'grey-ish', and nollike is a word that can mean fool, but also be used about animals or women in jest.
skemad (noun, uncountable) – spoon food Literally anything you can eat with a spoon. I believe its most common use is for the food you first give babies when they are moving on from nursing to real food, but I know quite a few people who use it for cereal because we literally only have the word “morgenmadsprodukter” for it, which is a mouthful to say.

Percentage of Star Trek Voyager Episodes Focused on Each Major Character
I’ve been thinking about which major characters Voyager spends the most time focusing on, and which characters are more often left in the background. I decided to collect data on this topic, and I made the following graph:
Tumblr media
The percentage for each character on the graph represents an estimate of the percentage of the total number of Voyager episodes that are focused on that particular character. Double episodes were counted as singular episodes, bringing the total number of Voyager episodes counted for the graph to 160.
Episodes that I judged as focusing fairly equally on two major Voyager characters counted as half an episode for each of those two characters in my percentage calculation. I decided to do this because I felt it more accurately represented the overall proportion of time that Voyager allocates to each character than if I were to only count episodes that focused solely on one character. Episodes that focused equally on three or more major characters were not counted in the graph.
After tallying every episode that I judged as focusing primarily on either one or two major characters, 22% of Voyager’s episodes remained uncounted. These were generally episodes that focused on the crew as a whole, or on characters outside of the main cast.
Obviously, all of my decisions about which episodes to count for which characters are subjective. There are a lot of complicated questions to ask, such as, how does one draw a distinction between an episode focused on Janeway in particular versus an episode that focuses on the whole crew where Janeway takes the most significant role in the plot simply by virtue of being the Captain? Or how does one count episodes such as Someone to Watch Over Me or The Haunting of Deck Twelve where the major subjects of the story and the character whose perspective it is told through differ? I made my own determinations for each episode, but there is plenty of room for alternate interpretations, some of which might cause a significant shift in the allocation of episodes to each character.
I welcome any disagreement with or discussion about the methodology I used here. I also welcome analysis of what this data means – whether it reflects positively or negatively on Voyager as a show, how it fits with or contradicts popular perceptions, or anything else.

💚💛The people have spoken!💛💚
With a whopping 65.5% of the votes, the sangyao nation of tumblr has crowned as their Unofficial Sangyao Theme Song….
Tumblr media
💛💚Shrike by Hozier!💚💛
Link and lyrics below so you can all bask in its amazingness:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DOBHyBPPSow
youtube
Lyrics:
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
The words hung above
But never would form
Like a cry at the final
Breath that is drawn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
And I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is goin' with you now
Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is goin' with you now
Dragging along
Following your form
Hung like the pelt
Of some prey you had worn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
I was housed by your warmth
Thus transformed
By your grounded and giving
And darkening scorn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
Not going to lie, I (mod Bish) had nominated this song myself before Round 1. To me, this is one of the classic sangyao tunes, and an absolute banger of a song on its own merit. I’m delighted that this one won on Tumblr!
Interestingly, it didn’t get past Round 1 on Twitter, which surprised me a lot! That means that we’re definitely going to have a different winner over on the Twitter version of this mini-tourney (voting still ongoing as of posting this!).
I’ve been thinking about whether we should narrow it down to one winner across both platforms, but that involves maths I don’t know how best to do. If we hold it on both platforms again, it still wouldn’t help! Instead, mod Lux and I are probably going to do an informal poll over on the sangyao discord server to battle it out.
If you’re not already in the sangyao discord, hop on over and introduce yourself! We’d always love to have more people!
Though our mini-tourney’s ended, there’s still more sangyao to look forward to with Sangyao Week coming up. We hope you’re as excited as we are!

I have massive Hualian brainrot right now. I'm on the third novel they are beautiful and funny and just so so good. (I'm also pretty sure the author has to be a consumer of fanfic based on some of the content. Just saying.) Anyway, I'm listening to Hozier while I work, as one does, and I just can't stop hearing Hualian in his lyrics (note, not take me to church).
I'm having feelings about this.
From Eden:
"There's something lonesome about you something so wholesome about you get closer to me"
and
"There's something broken about this but I might be hoping bout this oh what a sin"
and
"I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door"
From Shrike:
"I couldn't utter my love when it counted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted Ah, but I'm singing like bird 'bout it now"
And
"I fled to the city with so much discounted Ah, but I'm flying like bird to you now Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now"
And
"I'd no idea on what ground I was founded All of that goodness is going with you now Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted All of my goodness is going with you now"
From No Plan
"My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know that you understand"
The thing I love about all of these is that they are devotion, not necessarily romantic love. Don't get me wrong, they could be, and within the larger context of the songs most of them are.
I'm not going to write any meta, I gave that up when I left academia, but there are some wonderfully written examinations of Hua Cheng's character, his devotion to Xie Lian, and how it is separate from any romantic feelings. This is a great example that I read recently.

writing patterns
[list the first line of your last ten fics and see if there's a pattern.]
tysm for the tag @saintsenara <3 i'm going to copy your format here, it looks really neat.
i was surprised to see i even had ten fics posted on ao3. honest to god thought there were less
with friends like these (who needs anybody else) - HP
There are times, few and far between, when Harry can’t help but think: What if things were different?
2. with eyes like these (who sees anybody else) - HP
Slughorn always picks the Slytherin groups for the projects in his subject.
3. virtues uncounted - HP
Harry blinks blearily before scrubbing at his sleep-heavy eyes.
4. an eye for an eye (a leg for a leg) - BNHA
Shimoyake cuts a lonely figure as she walks through the streets, making her way through Kamino Ward’s seediest alleys.
5. hope is a four-letter word- BNHA
The kid firms his shoulders and doesn’t back down. 
6. a little bit too much like me - BNHA
When in doubt, Himiko smiles. 
7. it's my problem, it's my problem (if i feel the need to hide) - BNHA
Katsuki is shooting through the air, adrenaline in his blood and a satisfying burn in his lungs that tastes like exhilaration, his explosions a soothing symphony in the back of his mind.
8. and i've been trying to fix my pride but that shit's broken - BNHA
Everything starts out normal on that very first day.
9. can't commit to anything but a crime - HP
It’s the second time in as many weeks that Harry startles awake with the station’s phone blaring at an ungodly hour.
10. it starts with a spark - HP
it starts like this: The sky in the Great Hall is dark and cloudy, brewing up a storm when the Ministry first speaks.
*scratches head* frankly, the most obvious pattern I can find here is that I went a little too hard on the whole "using song lyrics as titles" and some of those should definitely be revised. Thankfully, I've kept that instinct at bay in my more recent (and not yet posted) WIPs, sooooo.
I think I tend towards starting fic mid-action (or mid-thought), but apart from that... I dunno. Maybe there would be a more distinct pattern if I compared fics by genre.
Also - literally all of these are in present tense, but that's unsurprising.
Oh well!
I'm tagging @itsevanffs @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger @isalisewrites @i-dream-of-libraries @theonceandfuturequeenoftarts @goldenzingy46 and whoever else wants to do this!!!

Shrike by Hozier perfectly describes Hannibal and Will's relationship.
"Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is goin' with you now"
"Dragging along
Following your form
Hung like the pelt
Of some prey you had worn"
"Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now"
"Thus transformed
By you're grounded and giving
And darkening scorn"

ATLA recs post take 2 (electric boogaloo). Am I totally unsurprised I have enough for a third post at some point? Nope. ANYWAY, enjoy another round -- once again predominantly Zukka, though there’s some f/f in this round!
ATLA Recs #2
i wanna be still with you by tristanyvaine
Handwritten letters sent back and forth do not a love story make. Or. Maybe they do, in the case of a certain Fire Lord and Water Tribe warrior who happen to fall in love over sending letters to each other at least.
keeps me up late at night by midnights
Fifteen years since the war had ended, and still Zuko remembered every step of the way as if it were yesterday. More than anything, he remembered Sokka. He'd been in love with him then, and he still was.
ft. ambassador sokka, fancy parties, pining zuko, and two oblivious fools
the brightest you've ever been by panthalassas
Azula folds herself into the lotus position and empties her mind. Then Yue places her hands on either side of Azula's face, and her mind fills back up again. Or: Yue notices Azula is lonely. Turns out, Azula's ready to feel some emotions.
real love baby by verdanthoney
Five times Zuko and Sokka pretend they aren't in love, and one time they don't.
OR,
Sokka initiates a friends with benefits relationship between them, and Zuko keeps coming back for more.
Seasons in the Sun by burkesl17
Ambassador Sokka's first year in the Fire Nation, a story for each of its seasons. With thunder, assassins, blossoms, poison, politics, volcanoes and a baby dragon. Also falling in love.
Or: four parties, four assassination attempts.
Please Return if Found by CSHfic, VSfic
When Sokka sees a “lost pet” poster near his apartment for an actual, literal dragon, he thinks it’s a joke.
Right up until he finds the dragon sitting on his couch.
Nobility by hikuni
Book 3. Sokka/Zuko. Set after The Boiling Rock Pt. 2, Sokka and Zuko explore the Western Air Temple, where Sokka tries to get Zuko to talk about girls, marriage, and maybe even a future for the two of them.
Worship the Ashes by meregalaxiesandgods, patentpending
All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.
Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.
No Quiet Life by JustGettingBy
Zuko's not sure when it started. It would be easy to say it started with Boiling Rock, or with the Western Air Temple. But whenever it started, his crush isn’t about to go away anytime soon.
*
“It’s not too late, ‘Lee’. We could steal a boat. Sail across the high seas until we hit the horizon. Spend the rest of our days living off the land.” He brandishes his arm as if to show Zuko the untapped potential of their future as wild hunters.
“No, Sokka.”
Sokka shrugs. “Well, it was worth a shot. When you’re up to your eyeballs in expense reports, don’t say I didn’t ask.”
Zuko’s mouth feels very dry. “I won’t.”
virtues uncounted by bloobeary
fire lord zuko visits the southern water tribe eight years after the war ends
based on that text post
Will We Last the Night by CSHfic, VSfic (My absolute fave of the canon rewrites for its wildly IC enemies-to-lovers feel)!
Chief Arnook never assigns Sokka to protect Princess Yue, so he goes to fight the Fire Nation with the other men. When the moon dies, and the ocean spirit takes its revenge, Sokka is caught standing on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.
[An enemies-to-lovers season 2 rewrite, where Sokka is separated from the gaang during the Siege of the North, and travels the Earth Kingdom with Zuko instead].
Ashes Inside When You Finish Your Song by Muncaster
Sokka writes lyrics for his sister’s band. Zuko plays piano and is unnecessarily nice. Fellas, is it gay to write love songs about your friend and his golden eyes?
(AKA, a modern band AU featuring The Gaang, crappy software equipment, homoerotic lyrics, and the realization that maybe, if you think about a guy every night before you sleep, you just might be in love with him.)
Relief Next to Me by wilteddaisy (taotu)
Sokka thinks Ozai’s beach house is pretty awesome. Slightly less awesome is the couch he has to sleep on, as is accidentally getting into Zuko’s bed. At first, that is.

Self-Indulgent Septicinnit Playlist BC It's My Blog, And I do What I Want!!!
format from @brett-is-afraid's playlist posts because I rlly love how you can see part of the lyrics for the songs (I assume the ones that were most fitting, or why it got picked lol)
Her hair is a dark strawberry blonde, and when I'm with her, nothing is wrong. Takes my hand in hers when the lights aren’t on; Smaller than mine and oh god, I am gone.
We'll be runnin' down the street yelling, "Kiss my ass!!" I'm like, "Yeah, whatever, we're still living like that", When the sun's going down, we'll be raisin' our cups, singing, "Here's to never growing up"
'Cause my heart is my keep; And you are threatening me. Oh, my God, You're the one I've been holding out for, for so damn long, for so damn long- And you're a far cry from an empire at peace
And if you ever leave, I'm coming with you. Stuck to the gum that's stuck on your shoe. If you ever leave, I'm coming with you. I'm forever locking myself in the glass of your rearview, Trying to makе friends with the friends you'rе close to - If you ever leave, I'm coming with you.
Used to live inside this box with everyone noticing me. I used to leave the evening feeling right. I'll be with you each and every night, Chasing that horizon in our eyes. You want a garden, but you got a balcony, And you're always lookin' for some company; You want a say, well, what you got to say? Give in to me, give in to me and see
Heaven-sent is a coffee cup, Or the way you weigh your head on mine. We are sunflowers begging for light; We turn our face to these great blue skies. Heaven-sent is a beach by sunset; Stand on the edge, just a little too high.
I'd no idea on what ground I was founded; All of that goodness is going with you now. Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted. All of my goodness is going with you now. Dragging along, following your form, Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn. Remember me, love, when I'm reborn As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
You only hold me up like this 'Cause you don't know who I really am. Sometimes I just want to know what it's like to be you. We're making out inside crashed cars, we're sleeping through all our memories. I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive (Now I only waste it dreaming of you)
It's all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down, I don't know where it is, I don't know when- but I want you around when it falls in place with you and I. we go from "if" to "when" your side and mine are both behind its indication. This is gonna bring me clarity. This'll take the heart right out of me. She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted; She is everything I want that I never knew I needed.
