Damn, That's Hit Me Pretty Bad

I think that's why it's sick

The secret joke in Silence of the Lambs

“I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.” Great line from Silence of the Lambs everyone knows. But most people don’t realise Dr Hannibal Lecter is making a medical joke. Lecter could be treated with drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors - MAOIs. As a psychiatrist, Lecter knows this. The three things you can’t eat with MAOIs? Liver, beans, wine. Lecter is a) cracking a joke for his own amusement, and b) saying he’s not taking his meds.

Ranking of Kings punny names

Ok ok last post I’m making about Ranking of Kings.

I know lots of people picked up on Bosse and Hiling, but I just want y’all to know I see almost every single name as a pun:

Bojji. “bocchi” refers to someone who is alone

Kage. Literally means shadow

Bosse. Boss

Hiling. Healing

Daida. “dai” and “da” can both be written with the character for big. Possibly referencing he is son of Bosse, or the wishes for him to be king.

Miranjo. “Mira no jo”. Woman of the mirror

Bebin. “Hebi” means snake. And “He” with a tenten reads “Be”

Apeas. “Su-pi-a” (spear) backwards

Dorshe. “Shi-ru-do” (shield) backwards

Desuha & Despa. “Desu” is death. That’s all I got. “Ha” with a maru reads “Pa” so their names do look visually similar.

Ouken. “Ou” is king. “Ken” is sword.

Hokuro. Literally mole, like the one on his face.

Domas. Ok this one I was genuinely stumped but I’ve read someone interpreted it as “dumbass” and I love that.

Idk some of these might be a stretch? But I love overthinking pun names.

I think Hannibal and Clarice would end up as a normal couple with secret that you shouldn't know about it.

I think I’m one of those weirdos that actually think Clarice and Hannibal do not become a murder couple at the end of Hannibal the novel. If Hannibal murders, I don’ think Clarice is included. They are both perfectly willing to kill, but will not engage in murdering the rude.

I also don’t think they’re engaging in cannibalism. In fact I’m sure of it.

I read the book. They have servants. They allow people into their home. Someone else cooks for them. The only place servant are forbidden to enter is the top floor of the house before noon because Starling and Lecter are lazy asses.

Note, I do not expect this from my RP partners. If I wanted everything exactly as canon, I would re-read the book.

Selamat tahun baru!

Kita akan meringis begitu kita tahu; di antara sorak sorai orang-orang berpesta menyambut 2023 itu, semuanya punya kemungkinan di tahun itulah perjalanan hidupnya akan berakhir.

Tapi kita semua juga tahu bahwa ada banyak kemungkinan-kemungkinan baik dan harapan tersemai di tangga waktu yang baru ini.

Berbahagialah mereka yang cerdas memuhasabahi dirinya; harap dan cemas beriringan hadir dalam hatinya, membuatnya optimis sekaligus siaga.

Jika kelak dianugerahi kesuksesan yang didamba, bersyukurlah kita barangkali tahun ini adalah waktu paling tepat setelah kita minta pada-Nya sejak lama. Allah pilihkan timeline paling pas.

Jika hari ke depan kita ada di "bawah", ketahuilah; at your lowest, you realize a lot.

Bener.. tapi lebih sebel lagi sama kata-kata "jaman saya dulu tuh lebih sulit dan blabla,"

Capek tapi ketika ingin rehat tak bisa, mungkin itu yang mengubah banyak orang. Yang dulunya penuh senyum dan energi, menjadi lesu dan mudah marah.

Keinginannya sederhana: istirahat dari segala beban sejenak saja. Tapi kehidupan yang berat membuat ia tak bisa melepas sedetikpun beban yang menumpuk di punggung dan mengernyitkan urat kepala.

Orang-orang kaya gitu ga butuh motivasi. Mereka udah muntah sama kata-kata bijak. Mereka cuma butuh waktu untuk berteriak sekeras-kerasnya dan menangis sekencang-kencangnya; lalu melanjutkan hidup yang mereka sadari makin bertambah hari makinlah bertambah berat.
