trying to explain hannibal to someone is so funny because like. yeah hannibal did try to saw will’s skull open and eat his brain because he thought that the skull sawing and brain eating would help him forgive will for lying to him.. listen, he was being manipulated, okay? and he was provoked by will trying to kill him with a knife in the uffizi gallery in broad daylight (because he was afraid that if he didn't kill hannibal he would become him) before he got sniped in the shoulder by hannibal’s aunt’s handmaiden. and that was also kinda in retaliation for hannibal killing will's beloved daughter figure in front of him and gutting him and leaving him and his two other friends for dead. but that was in retaliation for will lying to him about killing someone and trying to get him arrested. but that was in retaliation for hannibal framing will for 6 murders that were actually hannibal's (including the fake murder of the previously mentioned daughter figure) and convincing him he actually did them but just didn't remember it. and made everyone else around him believe that too (but he did that because he loves him. theyre in love btw). and like yeah will did send someone to kill hannibal while he was in prison but that was in retaliation for hannibal killing will's friend. and yeah hannibal did send someone to kill will in retaliation for will sending someone to kill hannibal but will killed that guy and liked it and flirted with hannibal while he was washing the blood off his hands. so its fine because theyre cute. and in love. and yeah will did break up with hannibal after the skull sawing was interrupted by them getting kidnapped by the dude hannibal manipulated into killing will's biological child in utero, but hannibal turned himself in and got himself arrested so will would always know where he was. isnt that cute. and like yeah hannibal did send someone to kill will's wife and child of three years but like. he did it because he loves him. and will ended up breaking him out of prison after that. and then they threw themselves off a cliff together. aren't they adorable? theyre so in love. trust me. romance is alive and well.

It actually makes perfect sense that Ozzie is into consent. He‘s a demon, after all.
Let me explain.
If you think about it, there aren‘t actually many stories of either demons or fairies or any other kind of trickster ever forcing humans into anything.
They are going to fuck you over, sure, but they usually let YOU make a mistake first.
They bargain, goad you on, trick you.
The devil builds a bridge, he doesn‘t just abduct your firstborn. The fairies put food in front of you, they don‘t force you to eat. Succubi feed off your sexual energy, they don‘t magically make you horny.
Sin/transgression/damnation has to be a choice to mean anything.
See also: Nearly every horror movie ever. If that kid hadn‘t gone into the creepy attic (literal transgression), he wouldn‘t be possessed. If the camp counsellors hadn‘t been either fucking or pranking people, they wouldn‘t be getting axed.
The snake couldn‘t just shove the apple into Eve‘s mouth while she was sleeping, either.
Of course a demon would be interested in having consent on all sides. That‘s more people sinning, after all.
(And for the few weirdos who use Raphael from bg3 as an example of how evil a real demon should be… What is his big thing again…? Starts with c, ends with ontracts…?)

so today i tricked my very straight male friend into reading svsss.
okay look, i wasn't planning to at first and it's not like it was completely my fault. he wanted to read it!
i was showing him how badly they fucked up mu qingfang in the donghua by comparing it to the english novel design (he said that mu qingfang went from looking like a soft dilf to a predator registered on the epstein island list). and then, i showed him how different some of the other character designs were like gongyi xiao's ("he looks like he'd be a genshin character" -friend, to eng novel design) and luo binghe's ("lowkey, he kinda gives airbender vibes" -friend, to bunhe eng novel design)
so that was all i was gonna show him, nothing else. but after seeing them, he goes, "these designs actually look hella cool. what's the book called?"
now, do i:
A. tell him the name, eventually revealing that it's a danmei when he looks it up?
B. just straight up tell him that it's a danmei?
C: don't tell him the name just yet, spill the summary, get him interested, and tell him to not search anything up about it because there's heavy spoilers and it will reveal them the moment he types it up on the search bar
i go with C, obviously.
me: so, basically, some guy named shen yuan transmigrates into an incel harem male power fantasy novel where the protagonist, luo binghe, has hundreds of wives. thing is though, the guy pretty much took over the body of binghe's teacher he had when he was a teenager, who turns out to be a really scummy dude. and now he has to be nice to him so that the protagonist doesn't rip off his limbs and put him into a pickle pot in the future to suffer for eternity.
friend: that sounds hilarious and horrifying at the same time.
me: yes it is, and you should read it. it's like. my favorite novel at the moment. but don't search up anything about it because people spoil that shit. i'll let you borrow my novel
friend: nah don't worry, i'll just pirate it
friend: wait. does it have pictures?
me, my plan coming together: yeah, it has pictures. buuut, when you pirate it, it doesn't. trust me dude, i tried and was severely disappointed. plus, the physical copy is so much better
friend: fuck yeah ok thanks
me: hold on though. i'll text you later to see if my friend who's borrowing it rn is done reading it
he's hyped. he's excited. he craves a good book and a good transmigration interpretation. he's especially happy about the fact that it takes place in a chinese setting with cool powers and an actual good main character. "this sounds so good, god i wanna read it so bad."
i tell him that binghe is actually adorable, too. that it's pretty much found family! my friend then asks if shen yuan adopts him and becomes a father figure or something.
and i said "yes". you know, like a liar. (the father figure part probably isn't a lie though)
now i'm gonna give him the novel tomorrow! of course, i'm gonna cover the chapter 2 bunhe sexual awakening scene with washi tape and say that my baby cousin (sorry baby cousin, you would never <\3) scribbled all over that paragraph with her markers, and since i'm a neat book freak, i put washi tape and just wrote the scene! i don't know if that's really all too believable, but he didn't seem to care that much. just a simple "if my baby cousin did that to my book i would punt them into the sun"
i think what'll be more hilarious is the fact that you can't really tell that svsss is a BL. especially not volume 1. there's like, only a few lines indicating, but if you remove the baby binghe sexual awakening scene then you probably won't be able to know (...if you don't really read romance or anything. idk he's kinda dense anyways). so let's hope he gets attached and has a slow descent into the homo before i drop svsss vol 2 on him!
ok anyways i'll update you guys later with a reblog. maybe in about two or three days lol
(also don't worry, we already fuck around with each other on a daily basis like this. he's already tricked me into reading some manga i was unprepared for, and i thought that it'd be funny to mess around with him using svsss this time lol)
