PSYCHOSOMA — an atmospheric ensemble compilation set to the unsettlingly bizarre, violent, cerebral, eldritch otherworld of Hannibal. Orchestra, piano, dark ambient, and strings-heavy.

(This is blood on the walls and in the cracks between tiles and under every footstep and this is what clings to the soles of your bare feet when you tread so carefully so as not to disturb the ones still sleeping. This is luxury and taste; a thick, dripping opera, crying out against the still-shaking air. This is what you hear when you get into his head. This is food, lovingly prepared; a rich and heavy succulence, ripe and ready and oh god, that’s delicious, what is it? This is what sits on the rough of your tongue as you swallow. This is what lives in the back of your throat and this is what it tastes like to go mad: like honeyed fire. This is what cakes onto your knees as you crawl over the bodies. This is wine, flowing, a fountain of burgundy and marrow-white. This is what it feels like to not know who you are. This is what hides underneath your fingernails when you wash your hands; this is the color red, never pink. This is bile and rot and pinched, papery flesh. This is how your seams rip; how the juices burst open the taut skin—you are only ruptured fruit. This is the way your teeth sink into her. This is the dark of your fluttering eyelids and the smell of fevered sweetness: this is what you hate to think about. This is what you can’t look away from. This is why you can’t sleep at night. This is not your design, but it feels like it is, and you are waiting for the day when knowing no longer matters.)

history meme / three inventions / the compass 

A compass is a navigational instrument that shows directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth. The compass was invented in China, during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD. The first compasses were made of lodestone, a naturally magnetized ore of iron. Ancient Chinese people found that if a lodestone was suspended so it could turn freely, it would always point in the same direction, toward the magnetic poles. Early compasses were used for geomancy “in the search for gems and the selection of sites for houses,” but were later adapted for navigation during the Song Dynasty in the 11th century. Later compasses were made of iron needles, magnetized by striking them with a lodestone. The dry compass was invented in medieval Europe around 1300. [+more]

And the reason everyone love Lottie is because holy hell does she exceed expectations.

Not only is she openly best friends with a colored woman, something downright shocking for their time period, right when you expect her to yell at Tiana for embarassing her and ruining the beignets intended to win over Naveen, she doesn’t. She immediately helps the poor girl in the house, cleans her up, and gives her the prettiest dress she has. Who honestly saw that coming?

And my god, the ending. She’s ready to kiss the frog, and get the prince she’s always wanted, and the moment she finds out Tiana loves him? 

She agrees to kiss him so he and Tiana can get married. No strings attached. And she’s crying tears of joy because Tiana finally found her man. She loves Tiana that much.

Lottie is a character who came out of nowhere, is spoiled sweet, and won over everyone in the theater. And she looks damn great doing it.
