The don't pay SQH enough for this
I love it in moshang fics when Mobei Jun is smugly self-satisfied about 'winning' Shang Qinghua, while everyone is just kind of ??? about it.
MBJ: I have at last seduced Qinghua with my fat tits and skillful murdering of things.
LBH: oh you were... you were doing that on purpose? you, uh, wanted his... attention?
MBJ: who wouldn't?
Simultaneously glance over to Shang Qinghua, who is literally skulking around the nearest throne, wringing his hands (he's nervous) but it looks like a stereotypical cartoon villain's gestures. It's been four days since he remembered to wash his hair. He has dark circles under his eyes. He smells of stale fear sweat and has ink splotches on his hands and the edges of his sleeves. After darting a quick look around, he reaches into his sleeve and produces some kind of food item, which is barely visible before he starts stuffing it -- rodent-like -- into his cheeks.
MBJ: *sighs wistfully*
LBH:
he won
twitter absolutely ate these up so heres some moshang sketchies
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. NEED MORE.
Moshang is so important to me actually
Look. Look. I think the hardest thing about your twenties is the shift from getting shoved towards new frontiers of maturity by, like, puberty and education and the logistics of gaining independence, to you having to shove yourself. It’s a mental recalibration from “you grow up whether you like it or not” to “you can and should keep evolving, but now you have to choose it. And you have to choose it a half-dozen times a day in increasingly annoying ways. And this sucks but the reward is that you get to be a person in the world.”
Will Graham will look at a crime scene and be like “this isn’t a murder, it’s a master’s thesis. our killer is getting their mfa in killing.” and everyone else will be like “ah yes of course. Murder Grad School. you’re a genius, Will.” and then Will goes to therapy and Hannibal is like “would you go to art school if you could, Will?” and Will looks up at him through his coquettish whore eyelashes and he goes “I’m more of a painter than a sculptor.” and Hannibal nods and takes notes but all his notes just say “Mrs. William Graham” in different cursive styles with hearts over all the i’s. and then Will drives home to Virginia and has a dream where he’s like sculpting a stag out of marble or something while he’s sweating through his only set of bedsheets. great show no notes love u Bryan Fuller <3

the obvious choice…
Grief does serve a purpose. Evolutionary psych is all speculation, but like, the existence of grief is essentially a really strong motivator to protect your loved ones. Protecting your loved ones... is a way to help ensure your reproduction and survival. The former because often your loved ones share either your genes or a responsibility for parenting children with your genes, and the latter because your loved ones will help save you when you're in need, later. Because they also feel love, and grief
Just because something evolved because it was a good survival skill in the environment (grieving the loss of community members IS a good survival skill in our traditional environment. for reasons stated above.) doesn't mean we can't find our own meaning in it. Grief exists because the people who grieved were more likely to survive and reproduce. I think that can be interpreted in a beautiful way on it's own, and failing that, you can experience your own grief in a way that is spiritual and not intended for survival; you are not beholden to evolution

Heyo, i think the person asking about pro-shipping probably meant pro-shipping as in incest and MAP shipping, etc, something pro-shipping is often associated with (for the record i wholeheartedly agree with your stance tho, just thought this might clear things up sorry ^^")
Sigh
I appreciate your attempt to clear things up, but I know exactly what bullshit they meant and were trying to start and I'm not here for it. The rest of this is not directed at you, personally, but something I am going to say in general.
Gonna get long so buckle up.
ur trauma didn’t make you funny and while we’re on the topic ur music taste is unlistenable etc
Cappy sure loves his NAPpuccinos and Costco rotisserie chickens
The separation of Rotisserie Chicken and Connoisseur keep making me think they’re two separate things
sometimes when he sits down he reminds me of a rotisserie chicken
Top 5 emotions
- cancelled plans -- the feeling you get when you thought you were going to have to pick clothes and put makeup on and go out into the cold world and use lots of energy and spend money and probably wake up with a hangover tomorrow AND THEN YOU DON’T HAVE TO. it’s like a last-minute stay of execution. like snorting coke, if coke was relief. settling back down to carry on whatever you were wrenching yourself away from without the miasma of Upcoming Plans looming over you and ruining your vibe... unparalleled.
- clean house -- when you’ve been cleaning the house, and then you finish cleaning the house, and the house is clean. hell yeah. get a drink. sit down. put the telly on. in your clean house. your work here is done and now everything you do is twice as nice, because you’re doing it in sparkly clean-smelling surroundings and you have absolutely NO guilt or intrusive thoughts about needing to clean the house, because you did that. you’re that bitch. cleanliness really IS next to godliness.
- pre-pre-drink -- when you arrive at your friends house and you haven’t had a drink yet but you’re about to. maybe someone else you love but haven’t seen in a while might also be there. someone puts on a noughties bangers playlist and you all get giddy over a song that you used to love when you were at school. your friend does your smokey eye for you. someone is making gins and you can smell the lime. everyone has makeup on their hands. you can’t wait to see your friends. you’re gonna scream along to Queen later. someone’s put a pizza in the oven. hairspray. laughing. all that good shit.
- cooking -- putting on a little smock apron and making something delicious with your hands is the world’s fastest acting SSRI. even if you’re doing something despicably modern like listening to a podcast or using an electric mixer, you’re imbued with the spirit of the millions of people who, for hundreds and hundreds of years, have put on little smock aprons and made something delicious with their hands. this feeling is magnified tenfold if you use any ingredients from your garden. every time I step onto my balcony to get some rosemary or chives I feel at one with myself and every person in the world who has ever chopped up a potato and thrown it into a dutch oven. utter contentment.
- starting a new book and just KNOWING -- there are few things better than getting 20-30 pages into a book you haven’t read before and realising that it’s gonna be really fucking good. this feeling, for me, goes hand in hand with a little happy squirm and leaping up to put the kettle on. settle IN. this book is gonna ruin your DAY. and you are gonna LOVE IT. (the flip side of this is when you’re 20-30 pages from the end of the book and realise you will soon run out of book. the bad feeling.)
I just read this back and realised all these emotions are the same emotion, and that emotion is ‘gentle euphoria’
