#seen this about hannibal and it’s absolutely true but it’s been a minute since i’ve made fun of yall #and i’ve not seen this exact meme around #anyway i’ve somehow gone a layer deeper bc i’m listening to annabelle cane talk about free will and am thinking about the seventh doctor #how there was talk of eight being afraid of taking up that mantle again of manipulator of how seven blocked out so much of six #and convinced himself it was his choice to die #that it hadn’t been an accident #and that taint of manipulation spreading backwards through time in memory if not truth became a reality to be fought #not because it was reality but because they believed it so #and it was only by accepting their past in full that they could be free of repeating it #though one could argue they are not ever truly free of anything; and never will be #mind that’s all vague thoughts i’ve heard someone else bring up they’re hardly my own #i don’t know enough about six seven or eight to really say #but i suppose i will; soon enough #and then i can give my own thoughts from the evidence rather than secondhand #though given the state of what constitutes as canon perhaps it’s all secondhand #who can say #the magnus pod #the magnus archives #tma
