For the love of Slash

How, Ni-ni?

Here’s toddler!Will as requested by @tumblee-things​ based on this fic by darkblu, Keeping Canis Major. If you’re wondering what he’s doing, he’s trying to figure out how to draw based on all the times he’s seen Hannibal draw.

Now please allow me to take a minute to say, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS FUCKING FIC WITH ALL MY H EA RTTT. <3 < 3 <3 <3 I’ll try not to spoil this for anyone who hasn’t read it, but it was one of the fics I found during Christmas vacation last year, and GOD I IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.

And then, during the Hannigram Secret Santa Exchange, the same FRIGGIN WRITER RECEIVES MY PROMPT. (I AM CRYING AT MY MEMORIES JFC)

But now, I learned from a good source that KCM has friggin updated. (NOW I’M CRYING FOR THE PRESENT ADFJLKAGJLLJK).

It’s hard to explain. There’s just something so purely heart-wrenching AND heart-warming about this AU. Let me just say that you know a fic is amazing if it makes you cry/smile uncontrollably.

Quinta: “Yes, please!”

Waiter: “Say when.”

Waiter: “Uh, say when?”

As an apartment dweller, this is a game changer. My current apartment doesn’t have a laundry facility and the closest Laundromat about a 30 min bus ride which is just not practical. The mini-washer is a life saver

The panda mini washer hooks up to the sink, is incredibly lightweight (about 28 pounds, so light even I can lift it) and easy to use. 

It has a surprisingly large capacity. The basket from the first picture represents about one and a half loads. The jeans took up a whole load while the rest filled the bin only half way. 

Here’s the inside. The left is the washer the right is the spin dryer. Yes, it even drys.

Basically you shove your cloths into the washer, fill it up with water and let it go. I use my shower head to fill it up so it goes faster, the sink hook up took about five minutes to fill the whole tub, with the shower head is is down to a minute an a half. I do it in three wash cycles, a five minute rinse with baking soda, a five minute wash with soap and a three minute rinse with water. You have to drain and refill between each cycle so it’s a little more labor intensive than a traditional washer. 

That’s the spin dryer. It’s about half the capacity of the washer so one wash takes about two loads to dry. The spinner is much more effective than I was expecting. A three minute spin gets my cloths about 90% dry. I hang them up to air dry for that last 10%. 

The machine cost me about 150$. When you factor in two dollars for the bus, five for the machines (per week), the mini-washer pays for its self after only about six months worth of laundry. 

Can you IMAGINE how this is going to change the lives of college students and apartment-dwellers? Or anyone with a lower income who can’t afford a place with “luxury” appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines?

It’s effective because especially for children, who don’t have enough historical context to understand much of the concept, you can still fully grasp the idea.  

There was nothing wrong with Jack seeing the beauty and differences in Christmas town, it’s when he tried to take what is unique about Christmas town away from those it originally belonged to without understanding the full context of Christmas things is when everything went wrong.
