Hozier - Unreal Unearth Tour @ Dublin’s 3arena - 22 December 2023

Just remembered that Will Graham was canonically a professor and-

What was that even LIKE???

Picture the scene: youre a bright-eyed prospective FBI agent who needs to take this class for a credit and you roll up to see a man who looks like he slept in a dumpster teaching your class.

Ok fine you can deal with that.

Next thing you learn is that he has the social skills of a ground-nesting chipmunk and the class has realized he tolerates you all only because you sit fifty feet away from him.

Fine. Cool. Sure.

Maybe the class starts trying to win him over. Maybe they leave him an apple as a joke and he goes on a fifteen minute rant about how many apples will kill you. The class realizes they can get him to talk about certain things:

Government Officials (Derogatory), Dogs, Knives, Dogs, Guns, Dogs, Kraft Mac and Cheese, Silly String (Derogatory)…

They get him a murder mystery book for his birthday and he spends the next class period talking about why it was wrong and who REALLY did it.

The class does some research, apparently he’s wired up in a weirder way than the class thought. That’s fine, you all like him in a “teacher who hates everyone kind of way”

Then he starts rambling about murders as if he WAS THERE AND DID IT, zones out, regularly gets interrupted by random people and then vanishes off the face of the earth only to reappear as a “murder husband” a few months later.

Good for him, you all knew only a bisexual could be that much of a flaming wreak.

The class is Professor Grahams biggest supporters, they cheer when he gets out of prison and keep up with the news as best they can.

Because goddamnit he’s their WEIRDO and good fucking batshit crazy teachers are SO hard to find

One of my favourite lines is when Hannibal says "I don't hide from God" before eating the ortolans in Ko No Mono.

How Mads delivers it. The way Hannibal seems to be barely concealing his anger, his voice slightly trembling with grudge. God failed him, and he has a personal war going on to expose His hypocrisy. God kills, lets innocents die, and then has the audacity to set Himself up as judge of humanity while being the first to enjoy their suffering.

Hannibal feels entitled to do all kinds of wicked things, because he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he will never be as cruel as Him.

Hannibal refuses to cover his head, he wants God to be witness of his evil deeds, and once again, do nothing.

When Mischa died, where was God?

When she cried Hannibal's name, and he was too weak to save her - just a young boy scratching the locked stable door with his nails trying to reach her and stop her killers - was God enjoying the scene? Hannibal might be a monster, the devil himself, but he's nothing compared to his Creator.

This is one of the rare moments in which Hannibal slips out of his person suit, where he lets Will see him. Not his monster nature, but his vulnerability.

"I let you know me. See me."

ah yes, my nightly pre-sleep ritual of cracking every bone in my body so that I might prepare them for the sleep when they will never move again.

I think a really good relationship dynamic is when one partner is an entirely absurd person and the other partner's perpetual thought process is, "I adore you. Why are you like this? I'm going to kiss you at such length and with such fervor that you'll get disoriented and stop being like this for five minutes and I can rest, for fuck's sake."

This just in: the boi is Having A Time

I am neither Team "Aziraphale Is The Asshole" nor am I Team "Aziraphale Defense Squad."

I'm the secret third option: Team "Aziraphale is a flawed complicated messy traumatized character who has frequently fucked things up and made morally questionable choices and I'm rooting for him anyway because I don't think any of those things make him unforgivable, the bad guy, or undeserving of a happy ending. But he still did those things and I'm not interested in explaining them away as something else, actually, because a flawed protagonist who has fucked things up but still gets there in the end and is loved and forgiven is really important to me, actually."

But that's not quippy enough, I guess. Maybe I'll start a one-person effort to popularize a tag like "flawed protagonist aziraphale" or "let aziraphale have flaws" or something else in that vein.

I don't know, the more polarized and shouty this site gets about Aziraphale the more depressing it is and the less I want to post about GO (other than to reblog all the delightful fanart I get to see on here, y'all are so talented sdfklghskjfg). I came here because I thought this at least had a slim chance of being the nuanced conversations site but it's kind of becoming a drag.

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. Outrage about hedonism is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radical rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.
