Two limits! You can have a maximum of 4,096,000 characters in 1 [one] tumblr post. I would work out how many combinations this is, but 26^6,000 is already considered to be "Infinity" by most calculators, and a program I wrote threw an error code.

26^95,000 is already over 134,000 characters long - which would take 33 different text blocks to convey via tumblr. Whenever somebody says we're running out of posts, don't forget that tumblr is needlessly designed for MASSIVE amounts of information [no matter how detrimental it may be for mobile phones].

Though I'm not certain if that character count includes spaces, unfortunately, as I got that figure by googling "how many letters are in lord of the rings" and came upon a TikTok that counted the number of letter characters in LotR in order to figure out how many Spaghettios cans would be needed to re-write the entire thing, if one were to cut and paste each individual letter from the cans blackmail-letter style.

For those curious, the numbers are 2,261,081 letters in LotR, which calculates out to 8,795 cans of Spaghettios needed, which would cost about $12,225.

So, those are the theoretical limits, yeah. But in practice, the editor is not even close to be optimized to handle these kinds of huge posts: there is a point, far far away from the size of the lord of the rings, that your browser would just crash.

So if you are planning to post long fanfiction, or anything, you better work on something that's optimized for long form (locally, or some alternative to Google docs) and then post in chunks.

QUINN AND OUR BOYS ARE COMING BACK TO US

As I explain:

He is the bird on the side of the street in the metaphor that Bedelia proposed to him. He knows he’s vulnarable and that he’s been wronged and that he has broken wings that will never function correctly (if not at all) again, and subconsciously he knows his childhood is not like it should have been, but he refuses to think he was abused, even though he was. Which is very similar to Hannibal’s “Nothing happened to me. I happened,” which could be translated into “I am like this because I chose too, not because of outside influences. I am not an influenceable person, because I am not weak,” which is —I think— exactly the same thing that Will thinks of himself in relation to his past.

He must have been used to have someone obsessed with him, or he would have never accepted Hannibal’s obsession. I think old man Graham (Beau? Bill?) had a unique interest in his son —his only relative, the only person who looked up to him while everyone else rejected him because of his absolute lack of social standing— and that interest is what has shaped the entirety of Will’s early life. It could have been a sexual obsession, and it most likely included it, but most of all it was a power trip for Beau/Bill. To have someone to dominate completely. To be the only influence in Will’s life. To isolate him from his peers and force him to basically live inside his head to substitute his need for relationships outisde of his father.

That’s how Will developed his imagination and that’s also why he related so much to Abigail right from the start. I’d argue that it’s also the reason why he figured out the reason why Garret Jacob Hobbs was killing those girls in the first place. When Will sees a man obsessed, his first thought is that he’s obsessed with his child, because that’s all he ever knew in a parent. Of course it wasn’t just instict —his training confirmed that instict, though.

So yeah, I think one big similarity between Hannibal and Will is the need to negate to an absolute degree that they were scarred by someone outside of themselves.
