rewatching the first episode of Hannibal and holy shit I forgot how good this is but it's actually insane that Brian fuller set up the ep like this, he introduces will and Hannibal by first briefly showing them at their core, at the darkest, most vile part of them---we get a glimpse behind the curtain---and then its gone, the curtain is snapped shut and we see their masks, their human suits.
Will empathizes with killers because he likes it, and he wants to kill but he refuses to give into the urge because he knows how much he'll like it and he won't be able to stop. So he lives vicariously through other killers, satisfying his own dark urge by feeding it little morsels of secondhand blood lust. Every crime scene he works gives the urge something that satisfies it, not enough for it to grow, but enough for it be sate. Enough that he can ignore it for long enough that he can walk around and be Professor Will Graham who is Weird, Brash, and Non-sociable.
And Hannibal is a cannibal at night and a psychiatrist by morning.

au where because palpatine is anakin’s confidante during his teenage years, he gets to hear all about the latest love of his life and how this relationship is The One, This Is It, Senator, Anakin Is Sure He Is In Love, only for the relationship to crash and burn a few weeks/months later, which results in dark! bad mood! anakin who swears to never see or speak to the temptress who played with his heart ever again
which gives sidious Ideas about how to most successfully ruin anakin’s relationship with obi-wan, aka the only thing really firmly keeping anakin in the light, so that he can twist anakin into Falling and becoming his sith apprentice.
after all it turns out that while obi-wan kenobi is damn near unkillable, he isn’t unfuckable (in the eyes of the vast majority of the galaxy.....anakin included)
and so palpatine becomes the number one obikin shipper, the og stan, the fan with a plan. he sets them up on countless dates and fancy dinners, gives them his opera house tickets, pays for them to be serenaded by the Coruscanti orchestra.....all because he thinks that once they get together it’ll be only a matter of time before they break up and then anakin will be so betrayed and distraught that he never talks to obi-wan again
but that....keeps not happening and palpatine just keeps bankrolling their dates at increasingly fancier and fancier places, all the while Anakin is in his In Love and Life Is Wonderful phase, Kenobi shyly thanks Palpatine for his kindness, and Sidious has to keep reminding himself that the happier and higher Skywalker feels the further he’ll Fall.......right? right???

A world in a well, let's call it a "well-world"
[I find that sometimes I am too steeped in my own comic's lore. If you have questions about how well-worlds work so far, comment on this page and I'll see if I can address them in the comic soon.]

shaking the bars of my cage i need to talk about iwaoisuga or i'll die. okay, anyway, so. clothes sharing!!!
so much clothes sharing. whenever they have to separate again (long distance ://), they "accidentally" leave clothes with each other. a jacket in suga's closet, a sweater in iwa's backpack, a scarf in oikawa's duffel bag, etc. sometimes with handwritten notes tucked into the pockets. it's almost like a game to see if they can manage to do it without any of them noticing. (oikawa usually 'loses', he still leaves them with his clothes but he pouts about getting caught)

Finally working on Lydia gacha keychains to go with the BJ ones and since I (accidentally) skipped one of BJ’s costumes, it’s fine if I skip Lydia’s netherworld dress right?

☕️ + favorite scooby villain?
I put off answering this a day or so to see if I would remember any more scooby villains and I didn't so uhhhh here's a very incomplete list of some I enjoy watching in no particular order
Sarah Ravencroft (she's girlboss fr)
The Ghost Clown from WAY (idk hypnosis is fun)
The sister who pretends to be a green monster to shut down the theme park in WNSD. I just love how she asks about jail at the end and the gang are like ?????? Girl you didn't break any laws
Whoever the bad guy was in the toys in the mall episode of WNSD. (You can tell I'm getting a little off topic into my love for WNSD by the fact I can barely remember the villain who is apparently my favorite) Love the early WNSD mystery subversion by the way. WHEN THEY HAVE TO GO BACK BECAUSE THEY CAUGHT THE WRONG GUY????? That rocked my world as a child
HOW COULD I FORGET WHERES MY MUMMY VELMA I LOVE YOU. favorite scooby doo villain: velma dinkley for reals. Sometimes you just gotta let loose and create convoluted schemes that you don't share with your friends. It's #foragoodcause
Also shoutout here to every time the gang has pretended to be a monster either to scare their friends or give them a mystery to solve. This is often seen in birthday specials and stuff but it's still soooooo good
Joker & Penguin from the 70s "movies". They knew how to set up a good haunted house. Recent villains take notes
Also shoutout to the wnsd episode where the monkey did it. (I'm aware there's multiple, just go with it)
Actually if anything I'm turning this into a shoutout post for all the What's New episodes where they managed to pull a twist on the mystery to make it unique but yet still genuine to Scooby (and not giving off the feel like it's trying to be better or whatnot than the classic era). I hadn't thought about how well done that was in (specifically s1 but that's likely just what I remember best/when they had the freshest ideas) WNSD but that's a really underrated aspect of the series (and the movies). Like I think some kind of critique What's New for being "too simple" [plan lol] but I think the way they went about the formulation of each mystery so open-endedly really makes it timeless and unique.
Also so funny to me that you asked about my fave villain and I got so off-topic that this has become an appreciation post for the WNSD writers and im listing people whose names I can't even remember as "favorite villains" when really I just loved the mystery itself lol
