Note

can u elaborate on hannibals eating disorder like,,,,, ed in the same way that pica might b considered an ed or

Absolutely yes I can!

I don’t think it’s entirely useful for me to try to disgnose him eith a specific eating disorder (maybe orthexia?), but he canonically has a restrictive, obsessive, and compulsive relationship with food and as we know: Hannibal’s childhod trauma is the reason he eats people.

Eating disorders are as much self-soothing and emotional regulation behavoirs as they are self-harming behavoirs.

He kills as a way to conquer his fears about what happened to him and take control. Before he killed people he woukd wake up screaming and was mute due to trauma. The reason Hannibal is more aggresive and impulsive during his incarceration (in all adaptations) is because his coping skills were taken away.

Hannibal’s cannibalism comes from anxiety, specifically his fear of being hurt again. As a victim during his childhood, he was completely helpless and on the brink of being cannibalized. When he encounters rude people or people who hurt him or his family his brain goes to “I have to eat them, before they can eat me.”

Sitting down at his dinner table and literally consuming something that scares him is stress releaving and an act on dominance. This is why Hannibal is so pleased that Will placed a hit on Chilton, and why he ate his raw detatched lips. Chilton enacted psychiatric abuse on him and Will, now he can’t hurt them and Will and him are safe. This is the same reason why Hannibal vows to kill Alana. Her abuse of power at the hospital, but also because she intended to kill him. He doesn’t feel safe will Alana being alive.

When Hannibal tries to eat Will in Dolce, he does it because he thinks Will had fully made up his mind and hunted him down with the intent to kill him. It’s a “him or me” mindset. The same reason Abigail Hobb’s killed with her dad. I forgot if it was Mads or Bryan who said but Hannibal didn’t want to go through with eating him. He would have, but he also desperat wanted somebody to stop him and was relieve when Mason’s men came. He didn’t want Will to die but cannibalism is a compulsion to cope with his fear of what Will might do and couldn’t bring himself to stop.

He kills Abigail in Mizomuno to hurt Will to some extent but I think it’s more for the reason being “Will is going to choose her over me and it will lead to my death or capture so I’d rather kill her than take that chance. Now I’m his only option.” It’s not entirely rational but it’s how his thought process works. The reason he never ate Miriam is probably because he never drew a weapon (maybe wasn’t even armed at all) and was never a threat to his safety, unlike Beverly who shot to kill. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time and Hannibal probably took responsibility for having his drawings out and not being careful.

Will helps Hannibal to cope by being a completely new source of happiness that isn’t tied to his trauma. His love of music, fashion, and italian heritage come from his dead mother who’s corpse he saw half burned in front of him. His love of art is attached to how his home that was looted for it’s art by his family’s murders, which is how he tracked them down. His love of food comes from the cook from his childhood home who was also killed and the trauma of Mischa’s death and being forced to eat her. Hannibal butcher’s his first victim in a way the cook taught him to butcher a fish (fish cheeks are an underrated part of the fish btw. idk about human cheeks though.)

Will is in the same category that Hannibal places himself and Mischa in. It’s why when Will was getting attacked by the Dragon, Hannibal jumps onto Dolarhyde’s back and bites out a chunk of his neck (and probably eats it). He’s devouring him before he could devour Will. Seeing the blood on Will’s face after biting Cordell and then the blood on his face in WoTL probably made Hannibal feel loved and safe and defended because that’s how Hannibal shows his love for himself and his sister, by consuming those who seek to do them harm.

And by the way, this was probably the first time Hannibal felt actually defended in the face of life threatening danger.

We joke about Hannibal and Will being so different but that’s why they work. He can give Hannibal a safe space to decompress and cope with what happened to him without being reminded of his trauma. I think post-fall Hannibal will be the most vunerable version of him we’d see because it would be the first time he’s acknowledging what happened. As he coped, he might be able to better fight his compulsion and anxiety that drives him to kill. By that, I mean he will be more in control of choosing him victims rather than have his traumaized way of thinking take over and having murder and cannibal be his only ways of feeling safe.

TLDR: Hannibal’s cannibalism and likely his obsessive need to only eat food he cooks is a trauma response fueled by anxiety and fear and in reality, he probably feels very little control over his obsessive thoughts to kill and eat peoole to feel safe.

the last appointment

zhongli & gn!reader

3.4k words • ~25 min. read

summary: as a studious and credible fortune teller in liyue, you discover something about your last client of the week that completely derails your outlook on life.

warnings: liyue arc spoilers, little bit of existential dread, slight mention of family member’s death

notes: might make more parts to this idk? just kinda wanted to dip my toes into genshin writing for the first time!!

LIFE IN LIYUE HARBOUR seemed to be repetitive and mundane. For the past few years, you would wake up, open your fortune telling shop, analyze the futures of your clients using your geomancy, possibly take a stroll around Liyue when you needed to run errands, and then call it a day. You performed the same routine constantly, sometimes travelling beyond the harbor to collect crystals and magical supplies for your shop, but rarely did anything truly change in your routine. If something was off in the slightest, it was never too exciting to note.

As anyone would have suspected, you were tired of your state of limbo in life. Other vision holders seemed to be going on adventures, travelling with companions and exploring the vast mountains and valleys of Teyvat. Other vision holders seemed to be fighting against evil, helping citizens, and saving the world from imminent dangers. You could even recall a recent event where the Qixing had evacuated the harbor to defeat a terrifying sea monster. The Jade Chamber had been sacrificed for the safety of the people of Liyue, and yet here you were, playing with a bunch of rocks for a living. Despite being able to grasp the glowing Geo vision that held your coat together, you could not grasp why you felt doomed to tend to this shop for the rest of your days.

You didn’t know where or how to “start” your life. The small, inherited establishment from your late aunt was located in the small alley of Chihu Rock, practically out of sight from most of the foot traffic in the harbor. Not many people came to visit, though your name was still decently known. In fact, most of your appointments were simply previous clients from your aunt, regulars that relied on her readings for years and believed you were the next best thing after she passed. Especially considering you were the first vision holder in your family, it made your credibility even stronger.

You still remember how you got your vision. The morning after your aunt had passed, the elemental gift somehow made its way into your hand as if the timing was meant to be perfect. You didn’t celebrate such a special and momentous occasion with pride or joy. Your face stiff with tears, you instead reflected on why you received your vision at that moment in the first place. With the shop doors closed upstairs, you gripped your vision and did what you felt needed to be done. With your family’s legacy and tradition on the line, adventuring like other vision wielders was not a priority at the time.

But after years alone of research, a social life consisting only of interacting with customers, and a constant state of grieving the experiences you could’ve had in your youth, you were now in your late twenties and closing the shop for the day. Your last appointment was either extremely late or not showing up at all and you were tired of working today, just like every other day. Regret gripped you tightly as you wondered how you managed to get yourself in such a boring, slow burning loop.

That is until the shop door opened, eliciting a gasp from you at the sudden noise, shattering the previous thought. You accidentally dropped the basket of cor lapis you were refilling and immediately knelt down to pick up the precious pieces that thankfully hadn’t cracked on the way down.

“Hello, [Y/N],” the tall figure practically glided through the doorway, “My deepest apologies for being late.”

He closed the door behind him, “...and for startling you, it seems.”

You sighed, checking for any scratches on the gems and sighed again with relief based on the good results. You grinned to hide the fact you had just been in deep thought. “It’s quite alright, Mr. Zhongli. It’s kind of you to stop by at the very least, even if you’re late.”

Mr. Zhongli was one of your aunt’s longtime clients. Since you were a child, your aunt had always described Mr. Zhongli as a complex yet thoughtful man that had always shown kindness to your family for many years. When Mr. Zhongli learned of your aunt’s death and began to receive readings from you instead, you quickly realized what your aunt meant by calling him complex. Mr. Zhongli was truly a tough nut to crack in every single reading, his sessions taking longer than most other cases. That is why Mr. Zhongli would always offer to take the last spot of the day at the end of every week as to not trouble any of your other clients.

As you took a few of the best cor lapis from the basket, you could see Mr. Zhongli’s acts of kindness and thoughtfulness unfold in front of you. He seemed to carry what was now clearly a gift basket at closer inspection.

“This gift is for you,” Mr. Zhongli took a few steps forward to set the basket on a countertop. “I brought you your favorites. Slow cooked bamboo shoot soup, qingxin, glaze lilies, and all the crystals I could find… needless to say, let this be a token of my appreciation for your patience and hard work from our last few sessions. I know I am not the easiest to read, but you truly have a talent.”

You were speechless at the gesture as your eyes sunk into the intricate detail of the handwoven basket and decorated items inside. No one had ever done something so kind for you in so long. It was astonishing enough that he remembered your favorite soup that you mentioned only once a few months ago, let alone your favorite flowers and crystals as well. “Thank you so much, Mr. Zhongli! I’m at a loss for words – this is so thoughtful of you!”

“I even brought you that Rex Incognito series you had mentioned, although, I am not sure why you would need to read the series when I am fully capable of educating you on the history of Rex Lapis myself,” he flaunted, taking his seat on the cushioned chair in front of the reading table.

“Now, Mr. Zhongli...” you picked out some prithiva topaz from another basket, following the usual protocol you had with such a personalized, frequent client like him. The required materials for his readings were imprinted into your memory like carvings in stone. “You know I don’t want to burden you with my curiosity. And with such an intriguing topic like Rex Lapis... once I start asking questions I’m afraid I will not stop.”

“I have all the time in the world,” he got comfortable in his seat as you sat yourself across from him, “I truly think it would benefit you to discuss the history of Rex Lapis with a learned scholar such as myself. We can even have some tea as we discuss.”

You chuckled at his eagerness. He seemed more forward than usual. “You are too kind, Mr. Zhongli. Perhaps I’ll take that offer someday, but at least let me put those books to good use first. Maybe I won’t need to bombard you with questions if I’m already well briefed on the subject.”

He sighed happily. “You make a good point. And you will enjoy them, I’m sure.”

You settled into your seat as you arranged the crystals between the two of you. “The usual for tonight?”

“Yes, please.”

Your hands meticulously placed the last crystal in its spot on the surface. You closed your eyes and hovered your hands above the rocks, clearing your mind to make way for the usual reading: a reflection on the past, any significant events of the present to focus on, and some insight into the future. You held this hand gesture for awhile, letting the energy from the rocks lift into the air and envelop your gloved palms. When you felt there was enough energy to work with, you opened your eyes to reveal the manifestation of his thoughts in front of you, able to take its physical form using the powers from your glowing vision.

No one had ever taught your this skill, not even your aunt. If you had to bloat your own ego, one could say you invented this Geo fortune telling process yourself. The process indeed came to you naturally, a true display of pure talent.

You slowly lifted your hands to allow the visual manifestation to settle on the table among the gems so Mr. Zhongli could watch his reading unfold in front of him as well.

“Let us analyze the past first,” he spoke, already knowing the routine without you needing to ask him where to start. You slowly waved your hands as if you were digging a hole in sand on a beach, the manifestation displaying ambiguous patterns that wouldn’t make sense to any commoner’s eyes but could be interpreted easily by yours.

Two pairs of focused eyes fixated on the picture as you spoke your mind out loud. “You have recently given up something extremely important to you, it seems. I see you handing over something… small, physically, yet unbelievably significant and personal. I can’t tell what it is exactly, only that it glows like the sun with its energy. But you have handed this important object over to a very... evil... figure?” you cocked your eyebrow, confused. “You seem to be brooding over the fact that its aura is dark with malicious intentions.” You hesitated, “Well, that can’t be right, can it?”

He sighed. “Unfortunately, that is indeed what happened recently. But it had to be done.”

“Didn’t we talk about a similar situation in a previous reading? If I remember correctly, I thought I had advised you to not give up whatever that object was.”

“I am aware of the consequences that will follow. Especially with your future guidance, I’m sure the events following this one questionable decision will unfold in a better way soon enough.”

“I will always be here to help you, Mr. Zhongli. But please be careful in the future with these decisions. The importance of this object seems to be off the charts.”

He nodded. “It is as you say. Please, have faith in me now. I cannot change what happened in the past, after all.”

You hovered over this image of the sacrifice. You couldn’t make out what this object was, no matter how close you tried to inspect it. It had the likings of a chess piece, but surely this wasn’t simply a chess piece, was it?

“Let us move on, if that is alright with you,” his low voice cut the silence.

You wiped the image from your mind and waved your hands again, as if you were slowly putting the sand back into the hole you dug before. If the last image wasn’t enough bad news, this new one that formed was even more painful to witness.

“You have been grieving your losses very recently,” you said gently. “Your mind is currently weighed down by your past. I see you looking out at the sea in deep thought. There are flashes of…”

You stopped as you inspected the graphic images that suddenly appeared beyond your hands. You gasped at the terrifying horrors.

“What is it?” the low voice tried to search for understanding of what you were seeing. Even though the image was clearly laid out in front of him, it was still too ambiguous to tell when he lacked your years of experience.

“There are flashes of war,” your breath stifled as you watched his thoughts splayed out in images of lifeless bodies and destruction. “Very graphic details of war and death. Mr. Zhongli, I believe this image of suffering has been weighing over your mind like an anchor in the sea.”

He paused to process your comparison. “That is... a very good way to put it.”

“Though, I believe that despite the sorrow that emanates in this image, you are in a state of relief and tranquility. It seems you are grieving, but you are simultaneously at peace,” you hesitated again, “Yet I wonder what these graphic images of war are meant to represent. Surely we are not in an actual war, are we? Perhaps you are at war with your past, wanting to move on but haunted by your memories?”

Mr. Zhongli unfortunately knew the images you were seeing were, in fact, real events he had experienced in his life time and the truth was that lately he had been reminiscing on these events. Mortal life is kind to humans for them to be blissfully unaware and carefree of these harsh realities, he internally commented.

He still put your analysis into thought, though.

“I am haunted, indeed. I have been attempting to come to terms with my troubled past, just as you advised me only a few weeks ago. I have tried to follow your guidance, and although they resurface what I have been trying to repress, I believe I am coming to peace with what happened.”

You grinned. “That is very good to hear, Mr. Zhongli. I believe you are currently making good progress when it comes to moving on. Just remember that it is okay to remember your sorrow. Let your emotions pass through you instead of repressing them or rushing to move on. It is okay to take your time and let the thoughts bubble inside of you for awhile.”

He closed his eyes as you continued, letting your advice seep in. You continued. “Imagine the stillness of the sea. Many creatures and lost remnants take their place in the depths of the waters, but on the surface we see constantly moving yet serene waves wash over what is hidden below. Your memories are there to stay, Mr. Zhongli. But your present self, the surface of the water, can peacefully coexist with whatever is hiding deep within. Let these thoughts weigh you down momentarily, but rest assured, you will find balance and acceptance in due time.”

His eyes fluttered open as he reflected over your words. You always seemed to know what to say. “Your words have truly resonated with me, [Y/N]. And you are absolutely correct. I have been fighting these memories to avoid the pain, but it had not dawned on me that sorrow is... what I am meant to feel, not push away. I suppose your advice has put my mind at a bit more ease, and I suppose I am focusing too much on when I will be able to move on rather than allowing my thoughts to coexist for a moment.”

“Now you’re getting it,” you grinned with the relief that washed over his face.

“Shall we move on?” he offered.

You got to work on the last segment of the reading. If manifesting the other images didn’t take long enough, reading one’s future always took the longest. Interpreting an event that hasn’t happened yet always made you a bit nervous with your words. You never wanted to let a client down with an inaccurate reading.

On the contrary, this reading, despite taking quite awhile to appear on the surface on the table, was very clear.

“That is undoubtedly an image of me,” your eyes glazed over the facial features of the person in the manifestation. “I apologize for the delay, Mr. Zhongli, I must have accidentally let my thoughts seep into yours–“

“Do not fret, I believe this is accurate,” he interrupted. “Keep going.”

Your perplexed expression remained as you continued the reading. “I am admittedly stumped. There is nothing left in this image. I suppose it is simply me standing in what looks like some ruins. I am holding a staff, or some kind of long object.” You paused to think out loud. “Why am I in your reading? What could this possibly mean?”

Mr. Zhongli chuckled as you thought out loud. “Perhaps this is a good time to tell you why you are in my thoughts.”

“I’d love to hear it, I have never appeared in someone’s reading in my last decade and a half of experience. This is quite unique.”

He folded his hands in his lap, “For some reason, I have had this strange vision of training you. I’m not sure why, since you don’t seem like the fighting type, but there is some voice inside me that is telling me you are destined for something great and i need to take some part in it. What do you think, now that you see this vision as well?”

Your eyebrows rose in shock. “Training me? I guess this does relate to something I have been pondering as of late. I do not want to lay out my troubles on you though, my job is to interpret your life, not mine.”

“Our lives have clearly intertwined in this vision,” he insisted, “Please do not hold back for my sake. I have the time.”

You thought for a moment. How could you form the words without seeming too selfish? How could you maintain professionalism by talking about your personal problems?

“I am not the fighting type, Mr. Zhongli. Though, lately I have been quite depressed about the fact that I am not doing as much with my vision as other vision holders are. My life is uninteresting. The truth is that I am a simple fortune teller that plays with rocks. I hope you can understand why I am failing to interpret this reading,” you apologized. “It’s because this doesn’t seem characteristic of me at all. And with all due respect, after giving you readings for years, I would have never guessed you were versed in combat to train me!”

He chuckled. “I respectfully disagree. To tell you the truth, your talents surpass the abilities of many other vision holders. Not everyone can read thoughts or tell the future. Now that I mention it, I know of one talented astrologist in Mondstadt, but think about that. You are one in hundreds of thousands in Teyvat,” he reassured. “You did not receive your vision for no reason and I truly believe you are destined for something big. I regret not being able to realize this before.”

“How are you so sure of this? I would love to believe you, but I’m afraid I am not destined for much, really. Again, I am simply a fortune teller. What could I possibly do for Liyue other than read some rocks?”

He sighed and connected his palms with yours, interrupting the reading and wiping the manifestation off the table. The hovering crystals dropped onto the surface, making you gasp at the sudden sound.

“I am not who you think I am,” his amber eyes finally met yours for the first time this evening, which sent a chill down your spine. “Promise me you will not fret, for what I am about to show you may shock you.”

“What do you mean? What are you doing, Mr. Zhongli?” you slightly panicked as he firmly grasped your hands.

Suddenly, the room was engulfed in golden light that emitted from the seat across from you. Scattered, distorted images of a mystical dragon, a devastating war, and seven seats in Celestia flashed across your eyes as you stared at the beams of light. Death seemed to swallow you, but not take you. The baskets of crystals around the room shook with the surge of energy. The world seemed to destroy itself then remake itself over and over again within fleeting moments. These thousands of years of memories made your body tremble. It all happened within fleeting moments, and after a few seconds of your senses being overwhelmed, you finally pulled yourself together and connected the dots.

His expanded knowledge of Liyue’s history. The sudden gift of your vision immediately after your aunt passed. Grieving his losses and having flooded thoughts of war and death. Offering combat training. Remembering your favorites the same way he would remember Liyue’s customs and traditions. His glowing amber eyes alone.

Mr. Zhongli was the God of Contracts and overseer of Liyue. Rex Lapis, a being that lived for millennia, sat in the seat across from you. He had been posing as a mere mortal for years, taking readings as if he were any normal customer. The realization shook you to your core as you sat there bewildered, grateful, and horrified at the same time.

He let go of your hands after seeing that the information successfully processed in your mind. He saw something in you that was yet to be awakened, where the sky was the limit under your own expectations. This daydream of his was no simple vision – it was a calling. Internally, whether you agreed to it or not, he vowed that he would not leave your life until your true destiny was fulfilled.

He would see this vow fulfilled by offering you a contract that would change the course of your life forever.

can i request just some subtle, domestic things kuroo, kenma, ushi, and atsumu do to let their s/o they love them? thank you and congrats on 200 followers!!

Kuroo, Kenma, Ushijima, and Atsumu x Reader - Domestic Fluff Headcanons

a/n: domestic sweetness here! i so hope you enjoy it, bc damn do i love these boys so much. thanks bunches for the request!! ✨

warnings: slight language

total wc: 780

---

Kuroo:

i think we all know that Kuroo is big on physical touch

but the longer you live with him, the more you realize how intentional it is

if you’re under any stress (a deadline, a frustrating project, you dropped and broke something), Kuroo will come up behind you and immediately start massaging your shoulders and back

you don’t even have to ask, he’ll just give you a loving kiss on your cheek and get to work

bc as an athlete, Kuroo knows well that the body reacts and tenses up under pressure, making it hard to function in general

so over the months, he’ll find where the stress accumulates and just massage the area until you’re so relaxed that you practically fall asleep, even if you’re sitting in a chair at your table

if you do doze off, he’ll take a bunch of photos of your sleeping face, that signature smirk decorating his features

but he’ll also pick you up and carefully carry you back to the bedroom, so you can sleep in peace

he’s got the gentlest expression while he does this

definitely tucks you in, setting your arms comfortably over the sheets, and sets water by the bed in case you wake up and need to hydrate

you feel so protected and safe, knowing that even at your most vulnerable you’re treated tenderly

Kenma:

sometimes Kenma struggles to show outward affection

but that doesn’t stop him from caring for you

I’m a firm believer that Kenma will leave little gifts for you around the house

he’ll text you to go check the kitchen for some kind of surprise

you’ll walk in and see your favorite dessert or snack on the countertop already set out on a plate

if you’ve had a particularly bad day, you’ll get distracting, fun gifts

you’ll find a Tamagotchi on your bedside table, a new vinyl record wrapped up on the coffee table with your name on it

(but pls don’t ask me where he’s gettin his money from, bc idk)

he also likes to leave tiny sticky notes with encouraging words (since he struggles to say it audibly) all-around your apartment

things like,

“your hair looks pretty today~”

“let’s play animal crossing together tonight”

“you’re my favorite. let’s cuddle”

these little things are what make life so sweet and Kenma does it so well

Ushijima:

Ushijima is a man of few words, but that doesn’t matter so much bc he does the mostest in terms of service

like baby fr knows how to cook and clean

let’s say you’re watching a youtube video on those fluffy, magical looking pancakes

Ushijima is gonna hear it from the other room and commence the cooking process

by the time the video is over, he’s calling you into the kitchen to try something,

“You like these, right?” He inquires

“Babe, WHAT. I was just watching something about this!”

“I could hear the video.”

and wow is it delicious

he also just does the dishes. it makes him feel accomplished if everything is clean and put away at the end of a meal

but after your day is over and you’re both in bed, sitting in comfortable silence together, he’ll pull you close to him and let you sink into his side

it’s routine at this point 🥺💕

you’ll fall asleep to the rhythm of his breathing

and he’ll fall asleep to the sight of you

Atsumu:

Sumu is pretty rough around the edges

he isn’t one to pamper you and he will never stop teasing you

but you didn’t get into a relationship with him thinking he’d want to change entirely. no, you accepted his cocky personality, dealing with his temperamental moments

but somehow, in the time he’s been with you, he’s learned to selectively temper himself

in doing so, he’s discovered just how much you crave small, soft touches

he figures he already puts you through a whole lotta shit on the regular, so he might as well be sweet to you late at night when you need a break

he loves how your whole body melts when he traces his fingers down your arm

or how when he runs his hands through your hair, you’ll hum contentedly, leaning back into his chest

he gives you little, faint kisses up and down your neck, watching you squirm under his touch... and it’s captivating

as he does this, he’ll whisper honey-coated words into your hair,

“Ya always gotta be so perfect, don’tcha, sweets?”

and, “I better be tha only guy ya do this with.”

You just laugh a little, cozying up to your usually more abrasive boyfriend, enjoying his sweet side for awhile

and he always reminds you, it’s for your eyes only

Spanish Princess Episode 5: many many thoughts

Strap yo selves in

-WHERE WAS THE APOLOGY?? Lina’s just back with Catherine like nothing happened??

-Katherine, I get why you’re upset, but you kind of should be unsurprised?? Your dad was unfaithful to his wife, most kings were. Henry VII and Richard III were the exceptions, and even they had illegitimate sons before their marriages. Many kings also had official mistresses that everyone knew about, so by the standards of the time Henry and Bessie are actually being pretty tactful in at least trying to keep their affair out of sight. (Sexy dancing aside).

-Honestly it would have been so much more moving if KoA was like “I know kings take mistresses...but I thought...I was so sure... he would be different...”

-”they gave me a purse of gold!” It’s expected that you give the monarch lavish presents, lmao Ursula and Stafford would do that even if they hated each other and you

-”everybody loves a masque” the only sensible thing Henry has said so far in this show. Also court probably had way more masques than we see in the show, and it would standard to have a masque every holiday.

-”she is not a boy” hurry up with your character development and learn to love Mary already i am so TIRED of this miserable BS

-seems a rather depopulated masque? If the Chateau Vert pageant is anything to go by putting on a masque was a court activity, with most of the ladies performing.

-Bessie Blount in her cute masque costume... sweet mother i cannot weave Aphrodite has overcome me with GAAAAAAAAAAAAY

-”I never enjoyed carousing...my mother scolded me” look i love the Neville sisters with my whole heart but a) Margaret was 3 at most when her mother died, how does she remember her? She’d have clearer memories of her double-uncle and double-aunt, Richard III and Queen Anne b) Isabel Neville in the White Queen was established as very prim and proper, a well-bred girl who cared about enforcing decorum, she refused to ‘carouse’ and she certainly would never bring a 3 year old to a party c) we saw little Margaret as a girl at the end of the White Queen and she didn’t seem at all shy.

-”she died young, didn’t she” ...yes? most people did?

-”they both did” understatement of the year. Isabel Neville died young because she was ill, George died young (in the universe of The White Queen, at least) BECAUSE HE WAS FORCEFULLY DROWNED IN A VAT OF MALMSEY WINE. THESE TWO THINGS ARE NOT THE SAME! I do at least trust the writers of this show that the understatement was intentional, I’m sure even Emma Frost couldn’t forget a major character getting violently drowned.

-So the court only noticed the plague when one of their own got it so obviously and then died? Yes, plague could move fast, but if there was a whiff of plague the court would flee with the speed of the Looney Tunes road runner. If an acquaintance of an acquaintance of a cook had a cousin who saw someone with the plague, the court would flee to the country. How have these people not died of terminal stupid?! Like Compton was in the same building as the heir to the throne

-To be fair, it makes sense that they’re surprised Compton’s dead. Because the real Compton died of the sweating sickness. In 1528. Also he was involved in Buckingham’s downfall so... you just wrote yourself into a corner.

-Oh wow an actual good reason for More and Pole to be quarantined together i am amaaaaaazed

-”attend the queen” Boleyn, what do you think your daughter’s been doing all season if not attending the queen? Playing tetris?

-Katherine helping Anne into the wagon...I actually like that little moment. Like it does make sense, because the two have no reason to hate each other yet. (And who couldn’t like Anne? She’s such a babby!)

-Thomas More in the Tudor equivalent of casual clothes... much better. Shame about the 1930s lady’s wig.

-”what else should we do?” Maggie, this cannot be the first epidemic you’ve ever lived through. Have you forgotten the sweating sickness of 1485? You’ve probably lived through more epidemics than Oviedo has, you should know the protocol better than him.

-Oviedo continues to be the only man with rights. I wish we could see him crying and missing his wife and babies, but then my lil heart would break so maybe it’s for the best.

-They burn Maggie’s weird blue hood AS THEY SHOULD! IT WAS UGLY AND STUPID! I NEVER HAVE TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN NOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH! yes they also burned her nice dress with the strawberries on it but honestly it’s worth it, bc now i can rest easy, knowing the evil hood has been defeated.

-”you were a plaything” Katherine is so obviously insecure. I’m getting second-hand embarrassment. Like if she really was certain Bessie wasn’t important, she wouldn’t need to say it, would she? Except to rub it in. Which this KOA would absolutely do.

-literally all Bessie said was good morning?? Like Bessie is doing her best?? The masque was Henry’s idea, not hers, she hasn’t shown off about her affair, she hasn’t demanded money or titles, she hasn’t demanded any status to rival Katherine’s, she doesn’t flirt with or even speak to Henry when Katherine’s around, she acts like they’re strangers, she doesn’t even react when Katherine loses her temper...someone please please stick up for Bessie!

-”the rocking of the cart is unsettling to the stomach” is Anne naive, or is she covering for Bessie? I hope it’s the latter, in which case Anne is the one person looking out for Bessie...the babby is Soft, I repeat the babby is Soft!

-the irony of Mary being cold to Bessie when she’s next in the firing line...

-”it is not the rocking” Thank you Lina, where would we be without your gift for stating the obvious?

-”where did Wolsey get his money”...He’s a churchman...at the top of the church hierarchy...how do you fuckin think he got wealthy. Have y’all not been in the sixteenth century for five minutes? Why do you think Luther is so mad at the church?

-”I know of no other man in her bed most nights” Honestly wow I’m surprised KoA wasn’t like “well :/ a girl like that :/ who knows how many men process in and out of her bed :/” KoA gets half a point for being less bitchy than usual. Also Bessie looked so uncomfortable with Henry groping her stomach in front of Katherine. I pray the next man in her life treats her right and that Fraham don’t prematurely kill her off like they did with Compton.

-”the future king” if you’re regent on his behalf, then he’s already king! “Civilised companionship” back at it again with the Scots-are-barbarians.

-Laura Carmichael is utterly stunning this episode, with her hair down. The cinematography was beautiful in general this week.

-”freedom to speak and licence to speak are two different things” hey look at that one of Thomas More’s actual beliefs. I am giving all the credit to the historical advisor for that, I don’t believe for one second Fraham knew that beforehand.

-Maggie I love you but no, God does not sanction adultery. For any reason.

-KOA smirking and gloating about Bessie’s pain...she has never been so punchable. I would understand, if not condone it, if Bessie was manipulative, or greedy, or ambitious, or trying to supplant Katherine. But Bessie’s been betrayed by Henry too, and there’s no concrete evidence she ever gloated about her affair, to anyone let alone Katherine.

-”You think only of your own fate while London is struck down with plague” Earth to Katherine?? What concern have you shown for the Londoners?? Also calling Bessie selfish...Bessie’s not the one who lashed out at Lina, was jealous at Lina for having twin boys, and who wanted to continue a war for personal reasons. And then Bessie proves KoA wrong 5 hot seconds later by sticking up for Mary. Bit rich of KoA to be all “how dare you leave my daughter unattended” when she herself won’t even hold Mary.

-”Louis didn’t last a year” What! Is! The Timeline!

-Meg in that cloak reminds me of the Scottish Widow adverts. Georgie is so greedy- she steals every single scene she is in! Even when she’s raging she has more dignity and more presence than KoA ever has.

-”YOU LYING SOD” i burst out laughing it’s really not the little two-timing shit’s day, is it?

-Mary receiving Charlie B in the most Extra way possible. A++

-Why does Wolsey look like he’s about to cry?

-”thoughts are not actions” Lina I love you but... that is NOT what the New Testament says. Jesus said evil thoughts are very very much sins. I’ll give you a pass because maybe you haven’t been Catholic as long as Katherine has? Idk your backstory.

-Aaand now she’s wishing death on Bessie and her unborn baby and Lina isn’t disgusted? At least Katherine is feeling guilty. AS SHE SHOULD.

-”must it always fall to me to be magnanimous?” Katherine, you think only of yourself, for 23 out of every 24 hours.

-”God wants me to be compassionate to Bessie because of my sins” God wants you to be compassionate because that’s how Christianity is supposed to work. It’s not very selfless of you to decide to be selfless so that you can get what you want.

-oh wow look at that! She’s getting some self-awareness, i never saw that coming.

-”you betrayed Bessie” 5 points to Katherine of Aragon for standing up for Bessie when Henry screwed her over. Finally, some positive character development.

- MINUS 20000 POINTS FOR BABY STEALING

-WHAT THE FUCK

-is henry so dumb he thinks that baby is Katherine’s? Katherine was so obviously not pregnant

-When a baby’s born his skin needs to touch his mother’s skin so they can bond. They should have at least an hour’s cuddle time. Katherine of Aragon is literally traumatising a baby the very minute he is born. For her own selfish, selfish desires.

I Will Wait For You

Chris Evans x Reader

Request: Can you do an imagine about y/n and Chris being together for a while and Chris decides to take a step further (sex) but Y/N is a virgin and wants to keep it till marriage because of the faith (Christian) but also because of her self-respect of her body and doesn’t want to give it away like, but Chris thinks that she doesn’t trust him and they’re fighting but Y/N loves him. And then a happy end idk...😁😁😁

A/N: Hope you like this! Enjoy~

Chris and you have been over this, times and times again, but he just wouldn’t understand.

You understood that he wants to take the next step, but your faith didn’t let you do that and that is something he should understand. You understood that he loved you and so did you, you fell in love with him the moment he came over to you and introduced himself, you fell in love with his laugh, smile and kindness, but he should understand that you had more self-respect than to give away yourself to a guy you might not marry.

Chris understood that your belief is important and he also understood that you wanted to wait until marriage. However, your rejection made him feel like you didn’t trust him like he was just some of those guys who want to date a woman only for sex.

But that wasn’t Chris’ intention, at all. He truly loved you and cared for you, he just wanted to take the relationship to the next level, to show a new form of love, to prove how much you mean to him.

Chris wasn’t angry, he just wanted to understand, he needed to understand your thought process.

“Chris, we talked about this, in fact, I told you on our third date that I’m a virgin and I made a promise to God that I’ll wait until the right person comes and we are married. I just don’t want to give myself away like that. It doesn’t mean that I don’t trust you, I do…Just…I love you so much, and I want you to understand that I’d like to wait.” you could see it on his face that he still didn’t get it, maybe he never dated a woman before who said no to him? Did all his previous girlfriends just immediately jumped on him?

“Alright, okay. Okay, I get it, your religion and self-respect it a big part of you, and you made up your mind a long time ago that you’ll wait. I get it, really. But it doesn’t help me feel less…unloved. Like you don’t trust me, it’s like you think I’d run off.” he didn’t yell, neither did you, but this, this made you raise your voice.

“Unloved? You feel unloved. Are you fucking serious? After all, I have done for you? I moved in with you after only three months of dating, even though my family was against the idea. I cook for you, wash after you and take care of you. I come home from work, tired, and I wait until you come home even when you arrive late in the night. I cuddle you every. single. night. I wake up with you to make breakfast while you take a shower. I’d do anything for you because I fucking love you and you feel unloved because I asked you to wait for me?” you started crying by the end, and you didn’t even mind, you were so angry and hurt at the same time.

“Y/N, I’m sorry, I should have said that I didn’t mean it…I was-“

“You know what? Fuck you! Like seriously, Chris. How fucking dare you? Next time you come home to warm fresh food and clean sheets maybe just but just maybe you’ll be able to feel loved.” you left him in the living room. You didn’t want to wait for his answer. He hurt your feelings.

Chris heard you as you went into the bedroom and shut the door behind yourself, Dodger went with you, the puppy didn’t even look at Chris while he left.

Chris knew that he shouldn’t have said that word, he didn’t mean it, just at that moment he said something incredibly stupid, he didn’t have any excuse.

He felt like the worst boyfriend, he tried to pressure you into giving in to him and he hurt you. He really was a jerk. Of course, he noticed and was incredibly grateful for what you do every day for him, and he has to realize that with how many things you do for him, he can surely do one thing for you. And if that meant the he has to wait, he will. He will suck it up, and get over it if he doesn’t want to lose you.

And now, his priority was to apologize and win your heart back.

He stood up from the couch let out a long sigh and brushed a hand through his hair.

You heard a knock on the door when you went up you picked up your book and started reading it, you didn’t want to think about the argument you just had.

“Babe, can I come in?” you heard Chris ask. But you didn’t answer him, you continued to read, or pretend to read while you petted Dodger on the head while both of you were in bed. Chris came in and sat by your leg. You knew that he would talk no matter if you paid attention to him or not, he just liked to let it off of his chest.

“Y/N, I’m so so sorry. I feel so bad that I hurt you. I shouldn’t have said that, and I realize it. I was a jerk. I feel so bad for pressuring you too. I know religion is very important to you and you always keep your promises. Honestly, you are the best thing that ever happened to me, and I’m so afraid that I’ll lose you. Not only now, but maybe in the future, when you realize how much better you can do. I love you, that is why I thought that showing my love in a new way would be a great idea. But I promise you, I’ll wait for you, as long and you need me to. I’m sorry.”

By the time he finished you put your book down and moved closer to him, you gave him a hug which he really appreciated.

“Thank you. And you don’t need to worry, I won’t run off, I won’t leave unless you ask me to.”

“That will never happen.” he said as he hugged you tighter, you wanted him to let you go so you can give him a kiss, but he didn’t let go.

“You are also the best thing that ever happened to me.” you said when he finally let go and you could kiss him.

“Shhh! He might hear you!” you were confused. Did he mean Dodger?

“Who?” you asked whispering back.

“Him.” he said as he traced his finger on your small gold cross that hung around your neck, a present from your mother. Chris’ small joke made you laugh, and it reminded Chris how much he loved your laugh and how willing he was to wait for you, as long as he needed to.

Nct as Vampires

Request: Hi! Could you do an NCT Vampire au? Like how each of the members would be as a vampire? Thank you! :) I hope I requested correctly

A/N: i was actually thinking of writing a single post for each member but it’d be too many so here’s only a brief summary !! if you want me to emphasise on a specific member please do request again !

Assume that only you know about their identity and they promised not to hurt you as long as you don’t tell anyone else ,, and also you live together with them

–

Taeil:

really chill about his identity

like when you first told him you knew , all he did was get shocked and asked how you knew , then went back to being normal

acts more like a human than a vampire tbh

you don’t even know how he survives because you never actually saw him eat/suck ( is this even right it sounds wrong omg ) any other living things before for their blood

and when you ask him ,

he simply replies with a “ secrets ”

turns out he’s been drinking blood he stole from clueless vampire WinWin’s bottle/jar since they stay in the same room

Hansol:

he’s so quiet and mysterious it’s creepy

like you don’t know when he’d do something dangerous and sudden

so you lowkey stayed away from him even after he promised not to hurt you

but then you realised he’s an actual softie

because you saw him crying over an anime once

yes vampires need entertainment too

so you start opening up to him

and he shares with you about his family and ancestors

like how great of vampires they were

when he goes out to hunt at night though ,

he becomes really serious and you lowkey got scared once because he came back home with blood all around his mouth

then he smiles at you innocently and blankly

and you can’t help but return a fake smile like hansol you’re scaring me get away and wash up first

Johnny:

okay he likes teasing you A LOT

okay maybe more of threatening , not teasing

like one time you were too lazy to cook lunch for him ,

he got super close to you and whispered sarcastically like “ i can’t guarantee you’d still be able to stay up till dinner tonight though ”

and he shows his fangs too like stop johnny what are you doing

so you were left with no choice but to cook for him

he’s such a flirty vampire i cant even

like he got you a black dress and cap one day

and when you asked him why ,

he was like “ you should know we vampires can’t be exposed to sunlight ,, but your beauty and smile’s shining brighter than it so i gotta cover you up ”

go away johnny ew

kidding he’s so hot tbh

Taeyong:

really particular about how he looks and acts

like he’s really ‘elegant’ as a vampire (?) ( does this even make sense omg )

like his cape must be washed and ironed out properly every day before night falls

and he HAS to do it himself

one time you helped him wash and clean it ,

he got so pissed he didn’t come back for two nights

turns out he was living in some kind of abandoned house as a bat

and he couldn’t stand the dust so he had no choice but to come back

he sometimes forgets that you’re human so he shares with you on stories of all the people he’s eaten

and when you’re like “ taeyong that’s too much detail … ”

he gets all jumpy like , “ oh shit i forgot , i’m sorry ”

“ i forgot i got too caught up ”

but he doesn’t really seem different from a human being so you’re not that much bothered by him

Yuta:

okay here we have another flirty vampire

like really really flirty

like one moment you’d just be there watching television ,

then a pair of hands wraps tightly around your hips

“ want me to turn you into one too ? ”

“ no wth yuta what are you doing ”

“ couldn’t resist you ”

“ stop yuta , hands off ”

“ who are you to tell me what to do , i have the powers here ”

“ yeah sure if you don’t let go i’ll move out rn ”

then he lets go right away and pouts like a small kid

he’s really lazy and afraid to go out under the sun so he stays at home like 24/7

and he clings onto you like a leech

disturbing and annoying you as a form of entertainment

Kun:

he’s such an angel though

but you didn’t knew he was a vampire until like 1 month of staying together

because you always wondered why he went out and came home so late in the night

until you saw him drinking some red & thick liquid one day in his cape

you almost screamed and fainted

but kun was nice enough to help you out , and confessed about his identity after

and was like “ don’t worry , i won’t hurt you , you’re too beautiful ”

he didn’t even tell you not to spread it , as he trusts that you will keep it a secret

so sweet tbh

smh why were you born as a vampire not an angel kun

Doyoung:

always shookt and worried that his identity might get revealed

so everytime you come home , the first thing he asks you is

“ did you tell anyone ? ”

“ doyoung of course not they’d think im crazy ”

“ are you sure ? ”

“ yes , i promise ”

then he goes back to acting all confident and laidback like

“ haha what’s there to be afraid of ”

then he turns into a bat and follows you around the next day to spy on you

and he thought you wouldn’t notice but in fact he’s so obvious so you just let him be

Ten:

always curious about the ‘humans’ like ,

“ wow Y/N how does it feel to die ? ”

“ do i look like i’ve died before , ten ? ”

“ hehe idk , im just curious , i’ve been living for like 127 this is not intentional years now ”

“ you’re so old ”

“ but i’m still cute right ?? ”

and he gives you a cute and innocent smile

you wonder if he’s even a vampire

but when he gets ready to go out at night he always has this smirk on his face

and he’d have eye contact with you before he flies off

so rude but you gotta admit he looks good

Jaehyun:

like taeil he’s pretty chill about his identity

his naturally white and fair skin caught your attention first

then he was always hiding in the room first thing in the morning , saying that he had to take his ’ daily medicine ’

turns out it was small cups of blood when you went to check

so when you first asked him he was just like

“ since i trust you , yeah i’m one ”

then he flashed his sharp fangs infront of you

and when he saw your shocked expression he’d laugh to himself , his cute and smol dimples coming back

he actually takes care of you instead , and protects you from other vampires/creatures from attacking

WinWin:

he’s such a soft person you couldn’t believe it when he told you he was a vampire

and he casually mentioned it to you during a conversation

you were shookt for days

“ why are you always so tired in the day ”

“ i don’t sleep at night ”

“ why ? ”

“ we are more active in the dark ”

“ ‘we’ ? ”

“ vampires .. ”

he’s cute and innocent most of the time

but when night time falls he gets really serious and doesn’t come back quickly ,

because he has to find the perfect type and taste of blood which suits him

The minors are all half-vampires instead of 'full’ ones

Mark:

he’s so clueless and adorable he often asks you vampire related questions that you cant even answer , like

“ why do we live forever ? will we never die ? wow that’s cool ”

“ mark i dont know .. ”

“ how am i supposed to take blood out of someone , won’t it hurt them ? ”

“ mark i’m not a vampire idk anything ”

“ oh … sorry ”

he’s so polite and nice he almost starved and fainted because he couldn’t bear to hurt anyone for blood

so you had no choice but to donate your own blood

which also refused to drink ,

but you forced it down his throat , so now active mark is back again

Renjun:

another literal angel why

he tries his best to sustain his hunger by only eating food

but part of him still feels drained because he’s half-vampire after all , he needs blood

so he tried drinking his own one ,

but it made him even sicker

so you had to ask for vampire taeyong’s help because he always had spare bottles of blood

just like that you lectured renjun on keeping his body healthy and fit

and he was like “ sure … but one person that i’d never ever eat is you , even if im dying ”

go reborn as an angel with kun please

Jeno:

he’s always smiling and cheerful , the thought of him being a vampire never once crossed your mind

but when he told you that he’s only half ,

you still got really shocked and speechless ,

and as soon as he noticed he promised not to hurt you

he likes showing you baby photos of himself , the growing process of his small fangs ,

and the way he’d always smile brightly

he likes going on walks with you but he always prepares a cap and a pair of jacket to cover himself , if he gets exposed to the sun too much

Haechan:

such a prankster i cant even

he’d offer to pour you a cup of water ,

then when he comes out with two cups filled with red liquid you’re like ,

“ this better not be blood haechan- ”

“ it is ”

“ what why ”

“ try it , it’s really good ”

“ no donghyuck i cant do this ”

“ shut up and drink it ”

and after a few minutes of arguing ,

“ it’s only some cranberry juice ”

and he also likes joking about turning you into a vampire too

and would use it as an advantage to call you to help him do things

“ help me wash my clothes … if not i might hurt you , idk ”

Jaemin:

a mixture of haechan + winwin

one moment he’d be all soft and positive ,

the other he’s scaring you with his fangs and blood

but he knows when to stop and not scare you too much

he’s also pretty flirty and smooth like

“ if you were a blood type you’d be my favourite ”

“ jaemin that’s not cool , stop ”

“ okay fine you’re my favourite human ”

Chenle:

he’s so happy and loud you didn’t think he was a vampire

and his looks did not help too , as he looked so cute and adorable to you

he slightly teases and joke with you

especially when he reminds you of the face you made when he first told you

your mouth and eyes were wide open and no words were said

he doesn’t really need that much blood so he acts just like a normal human being ,

only sometimes when you notice him getting a bit tired ,

you’d ask him to go eat/replenish on his blood intake and listens to you without fail

Jisung:

like chenle , this baby is still in the process of developing the vampire characteristics ,

so his fangs are still pretty short and he can perform perfectly well even without the intake of blood & under sunlight

so you had absolutely no idea he was one

until he accidentally told you while y'all were talking

and he got so flustered and worried after he realised his confession , he couldn’t sleep peacefully that night

but as soon as you told him you didn’t mind and would not spread it ,

he became to soften up and share more stories of his family to you
