Curse you Hannibal fandom, with your weird shipping and cool polite internet manners!
So.
I watched it.
I like it better than the movies or the books. In fact, I am going to pretend this is canon and those aren’t.

Lost Womyn's Space →
This purpose of this project is to commemorate and honor lost womyn’s space—both ancient and modern. This can mean anything from lost women’s colleges and schools, to lesbian bars and clubs. And everything sacred and profane in between.

As a PoC what are some skin color and facial descriptions authors describe your race & ethnicity that you find problematic?
One word.. “exotic”. Authors need to cut that shit out when describing PoC, especially WoC.
And in addition it is also really bad, uncreative…
I’m white, but I’ve heard many POC say that...

A few years back I suffered from depression. My parents urged me to make good use of all the help available to get better, so I started going to a psychologist, I took anti-depression medication, and I attended group-sessions, where we each told our stories and supported each other in getting…
