We’ve got a number of Dad!Hannibal AUs out there but not nearly as many Dad!Will AUs.
Just imagine it yo.
People are one part shocked and one part horrified to find out that Will “The Empath” Graham is a single father, in charge of actually caring for another human being despite being so “unstable”.
I’m imagining Alana quietly making inquires as to whether or not the kid, this curly haired and big eyed quiet clone of Will, wouldn’t be better off elsewhere.
Meanwhile Will is, hands down, like the best actual father because he can feel exactly what his kid needs/wants and he is vicious if anyone says otherwise.
Hannibal ends up enamored with both Will and the kid.
one of my favourite things about star trek tos is the fight scenes where the men are flagrantly NOT william shatner, like they don’t even have vaguely the same body type or hairstyle, and they just hoped we wouldn’t notice because it’s a wide shot
Alison was such a popular name in medieval England that authors would name women characters Alison to indicate that she was supposed to be a very normal kind of person
i relistened to hive and realized something: there is a reference to every single one of the fourteen entities in jane’s statement. obviously jane herself is corruption, and while giving her statement, she speaks about arthur nolan (the desolation) and oliver banks (the end). some of the other references are vaguer, but they’re all there.
the web
the slaughter
the flesh
the eye
the buried
the spiral
the dark
the vast
the hunt
the stranger
and the image limit won’t let me add the screenshot, but there’s a Lonely reference too: “i was lonely before, i know that. i had friends, at least i used to, but i lost them. or they lost me.”
i just think that’s such a neat detail. jane is the first avatar we meet, our introduction to smirke’s 14, so i love that she makes a connection to every entity
KIRK: What’s that music you’re playing? UHURA: It’s beautiful. SPOCK: That was a simple scale. I was merely tuning the instrument. MCCOY: But you can play tunes on the contraption? SPOCK: I took second prize in the all-Vulcan music competition. MCCOY: Second prize. Who took first prize, Spock? SPOCK: My father. KIRK: Can you play a love song?
Very important actual deleted scene from “Elaan of Troyius”
There’s something so surreal and so so beautiful about reading Spirk fic written when my parents were kids. So many years and somehow a fic published in a paper zine in the 80′s has made it onto my screen. It takes my breath away.

I JUST HAD A F*CK8NG REALISATION
So I saw a tag on a post about the newest episode about Gertrude saying "good luck hunting" and how she might have thought Celia and Sam were avatars. And I got hit by a realisation
TMA GERRY WAS TRAPPED IN A BOOK, AN OBJECT THAT GIVES KNOWLEDGE, in the HANDS OF HUNT AVATARS and whose only way to escape the misery of not being was death. An escape Jon gave him even if he lost knowledge
Did JON REACHED OUT HOPING TO FINALLY DIE ? DID HE HOPE THIS GERRY, EVEN IF HE WASNT TMA GERRY HE WOULD RETURN THE FAVOR ? THAT HE WOULD FREE HIM LIKE JON FREED GERRY ? THAT WITH THE PLACES REVERSED THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN ?
THE GODDAMN PARALLELS THAT MIGHT JUST BE ME OVERTHINKING BUT ZKXVZKNDZKFBKZOXKZOBX
