Finally returning to this blog after many years away to say that I’ve started a new blog over at @xfiles-vibes, so if you’re a fan of The X Files and/or UFOs, urban legends, regional gothic, etc, come find me there!

That blog is going to be predominantly focused on X Files so if you love the show and want to see more of it on your dash, please come follow me! I need more X Files moots in my life and this seems to be where the largest majority of fans are.

I like how there’s only been a tiny teaser trailer released for Clarice and people are already like “looks bad :/“ like fuck off you’re not edgy you’re mysogynistic

Twitter is the worst place to go. Fans of Hannibal are throwing hate left and right. There’s even a thread of shots that are supposedly ‘copying’ and ‘plagiarizing’ Hannibal scenes. I’m really starting to resent the Hannibal fandom because of this unneeded and undeserved hate that Clarice and her show is getting. It’s really fucking sad that the show is getting bashed so hard because people want Hannibal S4. Ughhhhh. Sorry for the rant.

@mysterioustrashadventures said everything I feel about Clarice getting trashed for not being Hannibal Season 4 thank you 👏👏

I wasn’t going to comment on this but I’ve read so many nasty things from people about the premiere of Clarice on CBS tonight that I have to say something.

There are a shit ton of people who are just going around shitting on the show (a show that hasn’t even premiered yet!!) and insulting people that have expressed interest in Clarice, just because it isn’t Hannibal Season 4. Y’all, I can’t believe I have to say this, but this is RUDE AF. I get everyone is mad Hannibal Season 4 didn’t happen, I’m mad too!! But hating someone else’s show because you didn’t get your way with the show you loved isn’t where it’s at. That’s just childish and petty. Not getting another season of your favorite show doesn’t give you an excuse to shit on someone else’s show and insult their fans. Let people watch what they want to watch and don’t destroy someone else’s excitement for something because you aren’t personally excited for it. Let other people live!!

In short, if you’re a fan of Hannibal, please 1) give Clarice a chance! No one’s even seen the damn thing yet!!, and 2) DON’T go around bashing Clarice fans and the show just because you didn’t get Hannibal Season 4. It’s childish, as I’ve said before, and can be incredibly insulting to people who are genuinely excited for the show.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

what books were you assigned to read in a class that you still hold a violent and bitter grudge against

for me it’s into the wild and the scarlet letter

Lord of the Flies and Catcher in the Rye

The Old Man and the Sea. Could not handle how slow that book was for being so short.

The Great Gatsby and any of the Boxcar Children books (my hatred for them flow wide and deep from 28 years ago)

*seethes* DICKENS

I hated Wonder with a passion. I was like ‘no this is so childish’. You ain’t special son! Everybody hates themselves. And the pacing was actually shit

I would have rather read sketchy poetry from the textbook than that slow trash.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

My AP English Class was assigned it and only 2 read it. Do you know how BAD a book has to be for 20-something AP Students to refuse to read it??

Great Expectations. I don’t know a single person in my graduating class that enjoyed having to trudge their way through that one.

I know tonight’s episode was particularly hard to watch and I’m still reeling from the sheer heartbreak of that ending, but I gotta say one thing real quick: Can we just absolutely GIVE IT UP for Samantha Morton who portrays Alpha?? She is SLAYING this role, and her scenes have been so creepy and enjoyable for me to watch this season, and this episode especially. 👏👏👏

There are rumors saying that Tom Payne wanted to leave the show and I wonder if the reason is the same that made Andy leave (yeah, I don’t think his family was the only reason. I have the feeling that he didn’t like Chandler Riggs’ abrupt departure).

@lokigoddess Not sure if this helps, but there is an article here where Tom Payne states that he was unhappy with how the show was handling the Jesus character and wanted to leave: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/walking-dead-tom-payne-exits-jesus-fate-explained-1163273
