#i'm reblogging myself deal with it#this is probably my favorite dai ex but it's hard for me to watch#because it's so raw and tender and emotional#but it's so...dai#i feel like he puts so much of himself into this program#he puts so much of himself into all of his programs#but there's something really honest and vulnerable about this one#four repeated notes and some harmony but kenji's choreo is genius#he does so little but it says so much#and what's so great about dai is that he understands the music#he doesn't try to overwhelm it with his skating he doesn't talk over it#he lets it carry him#it's so subtle#like a breath#and then he does the mambo encore and it's a COMPLETELY different character#but he embodies both#goddddddddd i just#have so many feelings#don't look at me#if he doesn't deserve 10s in interpretation i don't know who fucking does

Mr. Takahashi got a medal in the Olympics and more. He is like a pioneer to the world. This man has opened up the unknown world and carved the path. […] The world that used to be unknown is no longer unknown to the juniors. […] Mr. Takahashi blazed the trail so others could follow it smoothly.

the monstering of abigail hobbs
This is a piece on Abigail Hobbs as an avatar for how Hannibal is in fact not merely hyper-aware of the role of women in the horror porn/crime procedural genre, and how it is both illustrating it in action in a multitude of ways; how it is subverting it; and how it is using abigail as a centerpiece of victimhood being manipulated slowly into an (un?)willing monster by the events and persons around her.
i recommend you read this excellent discussion of how in the first place Hannibal is most emphatically anything but a mindless and gratuitous horror porn, because i’m working off this assumption, and furthermore it deeply irritates me when people who have not even seen the show properly characterize it on freeze-frames of the show whose very purpose is to re-contextualize all the typical horror tropes
Okay, clearly: Hannibal is a shamelessly blatant metaphor for a lot of things; for the commentary on good vs evil/monsters vs humanity, for capitalism’s conspicuous and obscene overconsumption (see: fuller’s running joke of “everything is people”, explicit solyent green quote which itself was a movie about how the literal and figurative cannibalism of others is what fuels the system); for the horror genre as a whole. I’m working off the last one, and taking it to see how, in fact, through the character of Abigail Hobbs, is has done magnificently in giving a lot of agency and wonderfully disturbed depth and power to a female character, through subverting and internalizing the role that females generally play in crime procedurals.
