Ryuji having the worst bi crisis of his fucking life bc his mom just had to fucking ask “oh, whats this young ladys name?” when he showed her a picture of Akira petting Morgana. Like okay yeah Akira is like objectively pretty, hes like the Classic Delicate Pretty Boy just like Yusuke which is like whatever; straight dudes have eyes, and they know what women like to see. But now hes like. Seeing things he likes in girls IN Akira now and he cant make it Stop like its genuinely keeping him up at night 😭
Pretty boy used to be A Face that would come up in his mind when he thought of the term. There was no specifics in mind, just like. Pretty Boy. Pretty boy! You say that and theres like a Face Template that shows up in ur minds eye and hed just attribute that to any dude who was like Vaguely Pretty. But now its Akira 😭 and he finds himself cataloging things that Akira does that he KNOWS he finds cute when girls do it. The hairtuck behind the ears. The headtilt when he mishears a question. The Actually Pretty Doe Eyes. The breathy, nearly inaudible chuckle he does in place of a Real laugh (thats made better by the fact that its so hard to get him to laugh in the first place). He likes cute snacks. He blushes easily. Ryuji is sitting here like ‘theres no fucking way man. Like theres just no way. That shit makes NO sense (a lie)’ lying in bed in the middle of the night looking like this vvvv w his phone in his hands (looking at pictures of akira)
It drives him insane bc like he did Not see any of these things as like inherently girly or whatever. Like thats just akira thats just his bro! And he does OTHER weird shit that cancels all that shit out. Hes like a messy engineer/tinkerer, he rolls out of bed and whatever situation his hair is is everyones problem. He wears that AWFUL gym uniform and doesnt tweak it AT ALL?? He likes baseball?? hes got a whole binder of trading cards that he will show off if u show any moment of weakness. Like hes just Some Dude but also manages to be Some Girl at the same time and Ryuji is like thats not fair. Life sucked ass but at least it made sense before Akira stumbled into it 😭

hannigram analysis from the perspective of my thesis:
To start things off, my thesis is on the mediating role that self esteem has on the relationship between attachment style and self disclosure (i need as many participants as i can get so if you have the time pls complete my questionnaire https://forms.gle/MEz9w7dWGiscX3az7) and here's how that relates to Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter:
Hannibal has a self esteem that is through the rough, the man thinks he is a God. While Will also has high self esteem (he believes in his ability to catch criminals and knows he is the best at what he does even if it affects his mental state), his doesn’t quite border on narcissism.
Putting aside any antisocial personality disorder he might or might not have, I would say that Hannibal has avoidant attachment style
-He does not get close to people, even his relationship with Will takes a lot of time to get to the point where he lets Will see him
-His extreme independence and self reliance, wears a person suit and leads a separate life that he shares with no one else
On the other hand, I believe that Will has disorganised attachment style (which is probably due to the way he is portrayed to have an “empathy disorder”):
-He shows erratic patterns of seeking and avoiding intimacy and has challenges in emotional regulation: he does want closer connections to the people around him but also often draws back before managing to form them (kissing Alana but then telling Hannibal that he mostly did it because he needed to feel in control of something, reluctantly allowing Hannibal access to his mind and uhh almost killing him when betrayed, feeling paternal toward Abigail and wanting to protect her but keeping his distance from her)
In terms of self-disclosure I think both Hannibal and Will would rank remarkably low on the scale if you look at their interactions with any person other than each other so I will just talk about them together because that’s more fun! They go from Will refusing to socialise with Hannibal in the first episode and Hannibal seeing Will as a fun experiment to them revealing the darkest and most intimate parts to each other. There is no getting closer to someone than not knowing where one of you ends and the other begins am I right haha.
Now to finish it all off, this is how I think all of these different aspects about Will and Hannibal tie in with their relationship: Hannibal’s well rounded high self esteem and charm makes Will trust Hannibal with his well being and in turn I believe that Hannibal is attracted, on an intellectual (and physical lmao) level, to Will’s confidence and abilities. In terms of attachment, Hannibal starts by taking advantage of Will’s need for an emotional connection and moulds his image to fit what Will is looking for: a strong person that doesn’t waver in the face of his darkness which is able to bring him back to the surface when he feels like drowning. Overall their relationship is marked by betrayals, testing and crossing boundaries, violence and pain but none of that takes away from their deep connection; whether interpreted as love, obsession or toxic co-dependency, it can’t be denied that they become the most unguarded and authentic version of themselves when they are together.
and once again if you enjoyed this maybe perhaps help me with my research pls>>> https://forms.gle/MEz9w7dWGiscX3az7

Does anyone know a lot about spiders? I would like to ask questions about spiders. And I can't ask the search engines cause I'm arachnophobic to quite a majority of spiders and of course the first thing they show you is images if spiders if you look up anything spider related.
So um. Yeah I wanna ask questions about spiders. Hit me up if you know about spiders. I have a cool idea for the Mini Music Men and require information.

How'd you first get interested in the classics in the first place? What was your gateway?
oof, lets see.
god I can't really remember if there was a specific first. I grew up watching documentaries and reading history centric non fiction, so it feels like I've been aware of it forever, it's just that my interest in engaging with it varies. like, periodically I hit a very hostile negative with the classics and it takes a lightning strike of something special for me to get back into it. this current run of classics related fuckery is sponsored by machiavelli!
uhhhh. maybe assassins creed? when the conspirators try to use the shroud on brutus to resurrect him, and it fails, the body moves but there's no life, and they call it a second death?
that might've been the first time I realized that all of this could be narratively interesting and fun to play with. I have spent YEARS discussing the implications of this with other asscreed friends, and we applied way too much history to all of that.
that was around the time I was in middle/first year of highschool, and the iliad/odyssey were part of the literature curriculum, along with oedipus rex, antigone, and some other tragedies. and ofc dante made me obsessed with the historical virgil.
in conclusion: all of this is a ball of yarn, but probably assassins creed.
edit: tbh it could be that my teacher for the iliad/odyssey/etc also had us watch sword and sandal adaptions of myths. I like groovy visuals, and sword and sandal movies had visuals for days.
edit 2: disney's hercules. I used to fall asleep listening to a cassette tape of the soundtrack when I was. like. 5.
tldr; I have no idea
