Hannibal Season 4 Plot Ideas

The main concepts that keep coming up in interviews of Bryan Fuller and some of the cast are:

"Will Graham's broken mind" and "memory palace bullshit"

"Inception meets Angel Heart"

an interesting return to season one dynamics, but flipped

deeper exploration of Will and Hannibal's relationship than in previous seasons

stuff from Hannibal the novel that no other adaptation has done yet.

we're in Cuba

So based on that, here are some possible story beats for S4 (picking up right after the Fall as if the show was never cancelled):

We start out in Cuba. The most obvious reason? To hunt down one of their victims that have fled the country, as Hannibal does at the end of Silence of the Lambs. Based on interviews, it's clear that Chilton would remain in the US to head the BSHCI again (how is he alive, let alone working?), so it's more likely that they're hunting Bedelia for the post credits leg scene.

Will Graham's Broken Mind

During the Fall, Will suffers a mental schism that splits his personality, similar to the detective in Angel Heart. I don't think he literally has a split personality disorder, but he compartmentalizes his killer/Hannibal self from his moral self. When he participates in murders, he's not quite himself, viewing it through a dream lens (we saw a little of this when he was killing the Dragon). It's possible that he takes on personality traits from killers in season one, or even has to fight against a Red Dragon personality ("You can always toss the Dragon to someone else." "Will Graham interests me.")

I think we'll see a return of the teacup metaphor relating to Will's mental schism, since their reunion represents the "teacup coming together again" the way Hannibal wanted it to in Digestivo. "Not even in your mind?" Well, the teacup HAS come back together in Will's mind, because there's no other way for him to accept his feelings for Hannibal. He mentally regresses back to season one/two and we see the return of the Abigail imago we last saw in Primavera, as well as Beverly and Hobbs and Gideon and all our other friends. Maybe Will thinks they're all alive again! Or maybe he thinks he's dead! This would be really poetic from Hannibal's perspective, since his arc in the novel is about dropping a teacup and "being satisfied when it does not gather itself together." So it would be perfect for the cup to gather itself in Will's head and for Hannibal to realize that's not at all what he wants.

Will hallucinating Abigail would be a fun way to get the "murder family" dynamic. "It's hard to grasp what would've happened, could've happened. In some other world… did happen." Well, we can see that world in Will's broken mind!

I don't have a clear guess of what a "return to season one but flipped" might mean. There are lots of possibilities...

1. Could refer to Will's encephalitis days when he wasn't sure if he was committing the murders or not, except this time he's committing them. Maybe he has a pendulum wipe moment and thinks he's reconstructing a murder instead of committing it (like a reverse of the Georgia Madchen murder in Buffet Froid). Going extreme in this direction, maybe he analyzes his own crime scenes with Hannibal in therapy. Maybe Beverly shows up at an actual crime scene and helps him "analyze the evidence."

2. Could refer to his dynamic with Hannibal. According to the rest of my bullet points, they return to their therapy sessions, but with memory palace elements and hallucinations, etc., but this time Hannibal is trying to fix Will instead of breaking him down.

Something from Hannibal the novel that no one else has adapted

This could be a few things, but I think it's most likely the end of the novel where he's brainwashing Clarice. Hannibal would use drugs and hypnosis ("therapy") to help Will merge his two halves and fully accept who he is. This happens in different places in their memory palaces, kind of like the white space dinner scene from Dolce, or when they were jumping around to different places in the Red Dragon investigation. To be clear, they're on friendly terms. Will consents to this. He has ample opportunity to escape and go back the US if he wants. We might get a lot of information on Will's childhood and backstory, maybe a "saving Hannah the slaughterhorse"/"silence of the lambs" moment. I'd like to see him as a cop working in New Orleans. The time he got stabbed. The time he didn't have the stomach to pull the trigger. This would be a nice reverse from the S3a dynamic where Will was delving into Hannibal's backstory. :)

Part of this "therapy" could be helping Will let go of Abigail the way Hannibal helped Clarice let go of her father. This plot beat has already been done twice in the show (1. The Primavera line "A place was made for you, Abigail. The only place I could make for you" refers to the place in Will's mind. 2. The WCWTS scene where Hannibal helps Abigail let go of her father. "What you need of your father is here, in your head.") BUT I still want to see it with Will/Hannibal. What I'm really saying is it would be cool if Hannibal showed Will Abigail's skeleton to convince him that she's dead and Will cried over her skull.

For the other half of Will's therapy, Hannibal has to get him to really delight in a murder when he's fully present as himself (Similar to how Clarice ate Paul Krendler's brain. Similar to how Hannibal wanted Will to kill Mason Verger.). Ideally the victim wouldn't be a criminal (Will is already fine killing murderers like Dolarhyde and Bedelia), but a representative of the corrupt judicial system. Someone who has personally slighted Will. An FBI official that Will HATES enough to eat their brain. The perfect option is Kade Prurnell (whose name is an anagram for Paul Krendler!). So yeah I think Hannibal catches Kade Prurnell and they have a dinner party where Will kills her and realizes, "Hey, I don't care what Jack or Alana or the FBI or anyone thinks about me anymore. My personal ethical code is good enough for me because I am MORE ethical than the law." And then he and Hannibal can be full murder husbands after that.

Side character subplots

While all this is happening, there's an international manhunt for Will and Hannibal going on. Jack/Price/Zeller are still at the FBI, probably beefing with Kade Prurnell to establish how awful her character is. Either Clarice Starling, Miriam Lass, or Alana Bloom are on the case. The murder/disappearance of Bedelia (or whoever) in Cuba is their first lead, so everyone gets to go to Cuba!

It's been nearly two seasons since Will interacted with Prurnell, so maybe they need to have a cat and mouse dynamic in Cuba to reignite his loathing. Idk why she would be in Cuba, when she works for the OIG... but who cares! She's there, motivated by greed, basically acting as Will's Pazzi. Maybe she's bullying her underlings in true Krendler fashion.

At this point, Jack is the only somewhat moral person in the entire cast. His primary motivation is saving Will. Yep, that's right, he still thinks there's a chance to bring Will back. He's leading the investigation, but he's hoping to catch Will alone before anyone else finds him so he can try to talk him back onto his side. This would continue the God vs. Devil thing with Hannibal, fighting over Will's soul.

Maybe Jack finds Will when he's in his broken state of mind and they have a chat. I'd want this scene to function like Clarice's hypnosis scene where she talks to her "father." Jack and Will address the vague father/son dynamic they have ("I'm not your father, Will." "Abandonment requires expectation." Jack as God/Will as the Lamb). Jack forgives Will for his crimes. Will forgives Jack for sacrificing him. The conversation helps Will along in his "therapy."

Last time we saw Alana, she was fleeing on a helicopter with Margot and their son. My first thought was "Omg they're going to Cuba! They're going to get Chilton'ed in Cuba!" but Fuller has mentioned that Margot would be actively managing the Verger meat packing company as a vegan girlboss lesbian so idk. (I personally don't see how a vegan could run a meatpacking company... maybe it transitions to tofu packing).

Anyway, I think Alana's character has gotten even darker since Hannibal's escape. She's given up on Will and is completely focused on protecting her family. Knowing Hannibal is going to come to kill her, maybe she sets up some sort of trap for when they come (or she puts Will's dogs under a cardboard box held up by a stick and waits). Maybe she catches Will and Will has to pull a Bedelia and pretend he was kidnapped and brainwashed (and he kinda was, if Hannibal used hypnosis and drugs like in the book). I think it would be fun for her to finally give into her "professional curiosity" about Will and try to study him (like a Bedelia/Mason hybrid character). Maybe she teams up with Jack to use Will to catch Hannibal. It would be wild if W+H actually killed her, but maybe! Maybe she gets the Chilton treatment and lives, but gets a nice facial scar like every other fallen character in the show.

Freddie Lounds would have to come back! And I want her DEAD haha. She's escaped punishment for too long, so in my ideal S4, she writes a book about Abigail even though Will asked her not to. Maybe she's investigating/contaminating Will's crime scenes in Cuba? She's definitely gonna die, but not before W+H use Tattlecrime for some shenanigans!

Chilton loses a limb (that's really all he has left to give). In an actual S4, I'm sure there would be a plot reason for this and some other killer would probably do it, but in my mind it's a comedy beat. W+H don't even set out to get Chilton. They don't hate him, they just find him pathetically entertaining at this point. Through Chilton's own incompetence or some karmic twist of fate, he runs into them (like Barney at the opera). W+H take one look at each other and go, "You know what would be funny..."

I have NO idea what to do for Molly. I assume she's living with Wally's grandparents in Oregon. Maybe Will mails her some signed divorce papers and that becomes evidence in the investigation lol. I'd rather leave her in peace!

More serial killers who used to be Hannibal's patients! W+H read about a former patient's murders in the news and go to catch him before the FBI can (running into the FBI in the process, of course).

Other stuff

I'd love to skip around to Brazil or Buenos Aires, the South American locations from the books. Maybe Hannibal gets injured and needs surgery in Brazil, and his medical records are another lead for the investigation. Maybe the season ends with a happily ever after in Buenos Aires. <3

They pretend to be recovering from plastic surgery to hide their faces in bandages. I just think that would be funny.

Will escapes Alana's clutches by using all the serial killer skills he learned in season one. He pretends to be a dead body, wearing someone else's face as in SotL. (This was actually in the Digestivo script but it got cut.)

They steal an ambulance (and turn off the radio!) again like SotL. And then the "This is very educational" line from Sorbet would come full circle.

Someone has to send a secret message using book code. What if W+H got separated and that's how they had to communicate? Or maybe they communicate to another killer that they're hunting? Or maybe they do it just to taunt the FBI?

Jack vs. Hannibal fight scene (round 3)! This time over Will's soul. Will watches, amused (maybe in broken mind state).

(If anyone else has thoughts I'd love to hear them!)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo OC: Bella Donna Primavera

{ Base version. Might update later.

No idea why all my OC profiles are for Vento Aureo OCs, but here we go, my first OC of the year. I love what I came up with for this one.

One lovely spring day in central Napoli, a little girl was born. The circumstances of her birth were entirely normal. Her parents were normal people.

That's why things didn't work out in the long run.

Because the baby girl was not normal.

Little Bella Donna was born with some kind of power.

When she was an infant, this ability only manifested intermittently, sometimes causing her to "disappear", thus sending her parents into a panic, only to "reappear" right where they'd left her as if she'd been there the whole time, after they'd looked everywhere for her. They weren't neglectful, no, but it's hard to keep an eye on your child when you can't see her. At approximately 10 months old, Bella said her first word, and it echoed in the minds of her parents, which seemed normal at first—of course they would be excited about their baby saying her first words and dwell on it. That was, until the unrelenting repetition of the auditory afterimage became so dreadful and maddening that, convinced she was cursed, they reluctantly abandoned her, no longer able—or willing—to care for her, just hoping that there was someone out there who could.

Unfortunately, instead, she grew up half-neglected in (and out of) what was effectively an orphanage, some sort of children's home; generally not a great environment to grow up in, and that's just for the kids who can be seen!

Upon being taken in by the home, she was referred to by the surname of Primavera, though whether that was her original surname or one the staff ascribed to her, she would never know.

As she grew, the power got worse. She went invisible more frequently, often getting in trouble for "sneaking out" despite not having gone anywhere or, in school, for truancy or "skipping" when she was right there, sitting at her desk the whole class, but, at the least, they seemed to remember that she was supposed to be there.

She noticed that people sometimes had an adverse reaction to her voice, so she became a quiet child, and eventually, the afterimage effect she had seemed to go dormant from disuse; not that it made much difference, since she now spoke so infrequently and so quietly. In some ways, her reticence added to the problem as her ability became active more and more often, because, now, people would forget she was there, whilst she was too scared to make her presence known—and even when she tried, her voice was so quiet that people simply missed it. As her afterimage faded, so, too, did the acknowledgement of her absence and, further, existence.

When the ability was active (which, after gradually increasing frequency, eventually was constant), the only way that she could be seen was through focus, passion, and intensity. Things that she did not have a lot of, not least of all because unintended neglect resulted in a very poor diet, which in turn led to a lack of energy, which in turn led to more neglect due to her lacking the energy to manifest, in a sort of vicious cycle. She always felt she saw more vibrantly when she could be seen.

She relied, often, on other little kids to give her bits of their food (in particular, another little girl named Margherita, who slept a bed over from Bella). Although they shared their food, some of them didn't seem to realise that Bella was a living person. Some seemed to consider her a spirit and their sharing of food as 'offerings'.

While some kids barely acknowledged her, and a few did acknowledge her as a housemate who couldn't be seen for reasons beyond their comprehension, there were a select few kids who, as kids do, created an urban legend. They rumoured her as being a 'former resident', and said that by offering food, someone could "make her appear".

So, in a way, they weren't too far off. She often only appeared when she had the energy, though she sometimes simply had a good day where she was visible.

She never knew how to get people to see her and recognise her presence.

After a while of being treated like a ghost, her will weakened.

Eventually, she disappeared completely. There were no more days where she woke up visible, able to interact with others normally, be provided with a meal by normal means, able to be treated as a real person.

A week went by before she realised it was permanent. For the next three months, she was unseen and unknown. Even the kids who had been her 'friends' and the kids who had started the rumours seemed to forget about her. Everyone but Margherita, who'd always acted as if Bella was visible to begin with.

The urban legends became a tragic comedy;

She became a ghost.

During this time, she—oddly enough—"phased through" something, a quite ghost-like feat, having fallen under a bus she'd been running to catch, only to get up apparently unscathed. She couldn't figure out, however, how to replicate this by choice. It seemed to happen automatically if something heavy hit her.

After a while, when the other kids stopped leaving her scraps—Margherita notwithstanding—and the care workers started trying to give her bed to newcomers, Bella realised that she couldn't survive by trying to continue living like a normal kid.

She needed to steal.

She needed to take care of herself.

So she began stealing the food from others.

And when she found herself unable to do something on her own...

She began to speak.

She found that if she whispered in someone's ear, her words would overwhelm them, and she could get them to do just about anything she told them to (provided they were physically capable, of course). Initially, however, she found that this had lasting effects on the target. The first time she'd tried it, she woke up a taller boy she'd always liked in the middle of the night; she got him to get up and go to the kitchen, and urged him to climb up on a counter and open the cabinet to get something from the top shelf that she couldn't reach herself. After, she quietly led him back to his bed, to let him sleep.

The boy, however, began to exhibit mildly erratic behaviours come the next day, seeming to occasionally enter a trancelike daze and developing a compulsion to open any doors he saw.

They found his body a few days later; the last "door" he'd opened had been a window, from which he fatally fell. Of course, nobody knew what had happened. There were plenty of whispers and suspicions, but nobody could say for certain. Nobody else knew what Bella had done. And it still took her a bit to understand that it was a result of her own ability. She used it a few more times, which resulted in children suddenly experiencing 'idiopathic anacusis'—despite all insisting they still heard something—or 'auditory hallucinations' or other potentially-psychotic symptoms, generally causing turmoil. She didn't like it and then resolved to use the power only for purposes she found justified.

In particular, when she found out a care worker had abused Margherita, Bella, enraged, made them confess simply by demanding they do so, overwhelming them with guilt from her words, leading to their ultimate death—self-inflicted—and nobody questioned the suicide's reason, not after the confession.

And she knew she had caused it. She felt no remorse.

It wasn't until Margherita herself was affected by the ability, being declared 'deaf' because all she could hear was Bella's voice, that Bella finally figured out how to neutralise the effects. She realised she couldn't bear to stay in the home after that, knowing how much damage she'd caused, and not wanting to hurt the only person who'd seemed to care about her ever again.

Inundated with guilt, she left the home, never to return. Never to see Margherita again, presumably.

-

But she couldn't live out on the streets. She didn't know how to scavenge. She only knew how to steal.

To subsist, she began to sneak into other people's houses. She rarely stayed long—usually just long enough to steal food before making her way back out. She occasionally used her "power of suggestion" when needed but stayed away from homeowners as best she could. They never knew she was even there.

They were all normal.

She still only barely managed to get by, because if she took too much, she was sure they'd notice, even if they didn't know where it went. The anxiety of possibly becoming visible in the night kept her from actually sleeping inside any of the houses, instead typically sleeping in alleyways (getting stepped on once or twice, scaring the everliving fuck out of the passerby in the process). But when the cold months came—even though it wasn't too cold, it was cold enough—she considered staying somewhere for more than just a few hours.

Eventually, she decided on her temporary refuge.

She managed to slip in unnoticed, sneaking around to get an idea of the house's layout, figuring out where everything was best she could whilst cautiously keeping track of the homeowner, keeping her distance from him. The house was nice. To her, it seemed to be big enough for two people to exist in, hopefully without notice.

Although apprehensive, she decided she would stay, at least for the time being, and try to keep her shenanigans confined to whenever he was out of the house. He was a fairly busy man, it seemed. Yet, he was quicker to pick up on her activity than the other homeowners in the past (though she figured that might've been because, previously, she'd never stuck around to see a homeowner find out).

From her impression of the homeowner, he was a nice man, but he was odd. He lived alone, but she often heard him talking on the phone, sometimes casually, sometimes grimly, and sometimes, on rare occasions, harshly, perhaps angrily—as for what the calls were about, she typically didn't tune in to what he was saying. Living in his house without his knowledge felt enough like an invasion of privacy as it was, and she wasn't without decency.

She also occasionally witnessed him doing strange things, as well, pulling things out of seemingly nowhere or disappearing into thin air after she'd heard some kind of noise she couldn't quite place, a buzz of some sort.

He would also sometimes have people over, during which time she wasn't really too sure what to do. At first, curiosity won out over better judgement—the first time he'd had someone over during her time there, she'd chanced a look at the man. He had a strong build, long-ish, light-coloured hair, sharp eyes and a resting glare; he was much more off-putting, even scary to Bella, than the homeowner. She didn't stick around after that, keeping as far as she could until the man left.

But the second time he had someone over, she'd noticed that they were younger, closer to her age, and her curiosity got the better of her again, sticking around a bit longer to watch the visitor, an ashen boy with light hair and tired red eyes, converse with the homeowner. He half-glanced in her direction a few times, and then, after muttering something, he and the homeowner moved out of sight, and she dared not follow.

With every time he had visitors over, she got a bit bolder in her curious observation—once even accidentally startling the scary man, and seeing him use some sort of ability from her hiding place—becoming less concerned about being discovered... until, during one of those visits, one of the ones closer to her age; a much scruffier (and quite scary to her due to his loud aggression) dark-haired boy; had raised the alarm about someone else being in the house while looking at some kind of odd eyepiece. He'd nearly tracked her down, too—nervewracking to the point that Bella, to steady herself and perhaps in hopes it would somehow make her more invisible, held her breath—until he suddenly seemed to lose her trail and irately called it off as a false alarm, subsequently yelling in argument at the tired pale one.

Though she'd been sure she wouldn't be found, it had made her too nervous to get any bolder, so after that, she instead kept away from the visitors as best she could.

She stayed in the house, invisible, for around a month, though it got progressively harder to sneak about.

Eventually, the inevitable happened.

The timing was a bit inconvenient, though.

Because, unbeknownst to Bella Donna, Bruno Buccellati was a Stand User, naturally more attentive to odd happenings than the average person.

Odd happenings like food going missing when left out.

Odd happenings like the faint sound of footsteps at night.

Odd happenings like Narancia's Aerosmith picking up on an additional unaccounted-for CO2 emission whilst visiting his house, only for Narancia to awkwardly call it off as a false alarm after clearly tracking down where the signal had been coming from with confidence and insisting that he'd seen something.

Like Fugo nervously muttering that he felt like someone was watching them (moreso than usual), glancing off in a particular direction, then saying that the feeling went away once they stepped into another room to continue the conversation.

Like Abbacchio swearing up and down that he'd seen a crooked painting straighten itself out and a slightly askew chair similarly move itself back to the table where it belonged—utterly convinced it was the doing of a Stand—but when they investigated, they found absolutely nothing, even when Abbacchio tried to use Moody Blues' replay.

At first, Bruno thought he'd just been hearing things.

He thought that maybe work had just had him more on edge than usual.

Mafia work had an expectation of constant guard, after all.

But then everyone else noticed it too.

He found the occurrences too innocuous for a Stand attack, too significant for an animal of some kind. He entertained the idea of a ghost. Being haunted wasn't out of the question, again, especially considering his line of work.

But then Narancia picked up on the CO2 signal.

The dead don't exactly need to breathe, now, do they?

It had to be a person, surely. Yet, he didn't really do anything about it at first. There wasn't much he could do without knowing what he was dealing with, much less where the supposed intruder was.

He tried setting up some simple 'traps', that is, leaving food out so that he could catch them when they tried to take it, but the food only disappeared when he wasn't looking. He guessed he expected that.

But to his fortune, the intruder accidentally decided to come to him.

Bella had never had trouble using her vocal ability. She just didn't much like using it. She'd never tried it on another Stand User. She didn't know there was a difference.

But she'd managed, somehow, to accidentally get herself outside, and the door was locked. Buccellati was there, walking away from the door.

So she tried to speak to him. But unlike every other homeowner she'd tried it on before him, he actually heard it, and reacted by sending a punch—Sticky Fingers-assisted, naturally assuming the culprit to be a Stand or its User—in the direction the voice came from. Catching her off-guard, the hit connected.

Bella had never been in a fight, much less punched before.

Fear was the first emotion she'd felt strong enough to turn her visible, intensified by accompanying pain.

In the terror of fight-or-flight, she froze up. Suddenly, there she was, the Stand User that had been "haunting" him for the past month; visible, clear as day, with a bloody nose and a zipped spot on her forehead. Her own Stand had summoned instinctively to protect her, crouched defensively in front of her, though it truthfully didn't look like much of a threat.

Regardless, though, it understandably threw him for a loop. When you're under Stand attack, you typically expect an enemy Stand User, something malicious—not a frightened (and frankly quite frail) kid.

Bruno, the inherently kind man he was, despite the transgression, was too concerned to just send her on her way, nevermind fight her.

She didn't say nor do anything, just stared at him, her Stand shielding her, or at least trying to, and after a pause of silence, he let his guard drop and pulled Sticky Fingers back.

If she'd wanted to do something, she would've done it already.

She was definitely no enemy.

As her fear subsided, her form became translucent, and soon, she was gone again, but her Stand remained in place, telegraphing her remaining presence.

Buccellati, on the other side of the situation, found it hard to fault such clearly desperate behaviour from a young teenager, but even beyond that, the whole situation was rather fascinating. He made a rather prompt decision.

So the second feeling she felt strong enough to make her visible was the speechless delight of the stranger offering her a meal—a real meal—at a restaurant. And while it would typically be poor judgement to follow a stranger somewhere, she could hardly consider Buccellati a complete stranger to her, considering. And so she took the chance to trust the man and followed him to the place called Libeccio's.

That day was the longest she’d been visible in at least a year, likely more.

And the most she’d spoken in several.

He asked her questions, about how she ended up in that situation, and she saw no reason not to tell him the truth. She was—and had been—benign. Benevolent, even, trying to maintain order even at the risk of revealing herself—often straightening out crooked furniture and decor (the very thing that had once alarmed Abbacchio), and putting misplaced things where they belonged or where they'd be seen.

A girl with a Stand ability that allowed her to evade detection, eluding Aerosmith's radar and even Moody Blues' replay; with her proximity to Buccellati as she'd lived secretly in his house, there were many things she could have done, being so subtle, not least of all being killing him. Despite all the dubious things this ability could facilitate excellently, she never used it for anything worse than stealing food. She used the ability to survive.

Buccellati wanted to help her, and there was one way he immediately knew how to; even as better judgement and morals would call the idea insane, which he certainly wouldn't argue. But in a situation like this, where she had nowhere to go, there was only one solution he could think of. She had done such a well-maintained stealth operation merely for survival—he couldn't help but feel there was so much more the ability could be used for, and there were many ways she could be helpful to the organisation despite her frailty and young age.

Bella was, however, slightly frightened when, suddenly, all those visitors Buccellati had had over also showed up at the restaurant. Though, naturally, they didn't know who she was—they'd never seen her. The only thing that made her look particularly suspicious was her visibly anxious behaviour—having always been invisible, she'd never learnt to hide her nervous tics.

Buccellati was quick to explain the situation, and while there was some level of hostility—or, in Narancia's case, he shouted, "I told you I saw something on the radar!"—Bella was surprised to find that these people she'd been so afraid of were actually relatively amicable. She would soon realise that she had found a place to belong despite her ability's hindrance.

It seemed most of Bella's troubles throughout her life could be traced back to one source; her Stand:

「Silver Springs」.

Silver Springs' ability is primarily detrimental at first glance. The User cannot appear to anyone unless she can muster the energy to manifest visually (bit of a Five Nights At Freddy's reverse-gravity door situation). The veils the Stand is draped in are the same material that near-constantly cloaks Bella.

There's more to the ability than first appears.

The invisibility is not exclusive to only Bella; anything covered by the veils, aside from the Stand itself, is rendered invisible or translucent. But that's only half of it; with this ability, Silver Springs can also make things (typically objects) as 'thin as a veil', making transport relatively easy.

However, there is an interesting caveat. While she is rarely seen, anyone who does see Bella never forgets her and, in many cases, finds themself haunted by her visage, sometimes to a debilitating degree if she's doing it intentionally. This sub-ability is termed "afterimage"; more often than visual, it is verbal; she's more often heard than seen, and her voice is known to ring and echo in the ears of people she speaks to (especially when she's invisible). The auditory afterimage can, at times, drive a victim to madness or affect their actions. Through the verbal afterimage, she wields the power of suggestion, urging people to do what she tells them to, usually using this to distract obstructors or get them to allow her and her teammates into a place they're not permitted to be. With this, she can not just non-violently infiltrate, but she can also coax information out of people, and all she has to tell them is 'Confess.'

Stand Users, by nature, are more resistant to the auditory afterimage, so it takes a bit more effort to influence them, and those of stronger constitution are generally harder to affect, so it's not foolproof.

Combatively, its capabilities are near-useless, but, well, who cares? Even on the off chance she were to be caught in a Stand fight, it's hard to hit something you can't see. Even harder if you can't stop seeing them where they're not.

Ultimately, she would—having nowhere else to go, after all—join Passione, likely as a part of Team Buccellati due to her history, becoming surprisingly prolific in espionage, theft and general support to others in missions. Despite her soft-spoken demeanour and mild manner, the moral quandaries of crime rarely seemed to dissuade her, although the more violent aspects oft made her somewhat nervous.

While Bella is still usually invisible, she can often appear—if only slightly or occasionally—around her friends and teammates (presumably from the joy of having friends and teammates or just improved focus or control); she also may use her Stand as a visual proxy for her, especially when she's particularly exhausted. As such, it doesn't really appear to have a personality of its own, generally acting on instinct to protect her or mirroring her own actions.

While she has a tendency to sneak up on and startle the fuck out of her teammates and allies, unlike Zatta, she never does so intentionally or only rarely does it out of playful mischievousness.

It sounds funny, and it is… until it comes to Mista's hasty trigger finger.

At this point, though, she's stopped apologising for it.

Bella Donna Primavera stands at about 5' even and is steadily approaching a healthy weight from her previously malnourished state.}

Reader learning Spanish and since is a Latin based language and Romanian is also Latin based language alucard finds similarities in both languages and decides to fluster reader again? Fluff plz

Ok, so I speak neither Spanish nor Romanian, and even my French is at a 5th grade level. So I cashed in some favours from my Brazilian and Venezualan besties. I'm also finishing this up while I wait to board for my flight to Mexico, what a coinkidink! 🇮🇹

Alucard Flustering His Spanish Speaking S/O With Romanian

You had been learning Spanish on the side for a number of months now, keeping up to date on your Duolingo (c'mon, that owl is far more threatening that Alu) and sharing spanish conversations with Walter to keep up your verbal practice.

Alucard eventually listens into one of these conversations and notes how he is able to distinguish individual nouns between your sentences, getting a choppy understanding of what you and Walter were talking about. He think's you're asking for a birthday cake? No, that can't be right.

He was right. This week's duolingo theme was events and parties.

So with this discovery, of course Alucard is going to take advantage and mess with you, as he always does when new inspiration presents itself.

With time spent as Alucard's lover, you have picked up on a variety of Romanian word's and phrases he would utter while in your presence.

Things like "dragul meu" (my love), "Ce mai faci, draga?" (how are you, darling?) and "gunoaie iscariot" (Iscariot scum)

Normal stuff like that.

Sometimes you like to flirt with him in Spanish just to be playful.

“Hola hermosa, brillas como las rosas en la mañanita” 🌹

“Epa! Primavera! Me haces sentir caliente en el invierno” 🫠

Or, if you're feeling extra spicy, “Mi amor! Tus curvas me vuelven loco/loca, quiero dibujar cada esquina con mi lengua y sentir tu corazón” 😜

You love it when Alucard can piece the words together and catch onto your antics, but even more so when he is beffudled and has to pick up a dictionary.

You can usually recognize all the words of affirmation your lover has used on you over the years.

But then you got schooled, because he introduced a bunch of new shit!

"Nu mi te pot scoate din cap. Te voi pedepsi!" 🥵

"Limba română este la fel de senzuală ca tine. Tu ai adus culoare in viata mea." 🎨

Damn him, now you're the one who needs to pick up a dictionary.

After a while, the two of you find a mutual flow. You speaking to him in Spanish, him to you in Romanian. It confuses the hell out of everyone, but that's part of the fun, becuase you get to say whatever you want to eachother *wink wink*, and no one is any wiser.

We've been thinking about posting about this these last days. It's a debate that has been going on on sm since last Saturday.

Basque actor Telmo Irureta was awarded best breakout actor at the Goyas for his role in La consagración de la primavera. We haven't seen it, btw.

The controversy came when during his acceptance speech, Telmo Irureta stated that disabled people like him have the right to sexuality just like the rest, since they also f*ck (verbatim). Later in an interview he said that he hadn't turned to sex assistants but he had payed sex workers and that prostitution mustn't disappear because bodies like his aren't attractive.

And of course after all this people on sm have started to share their opinion, by praising or criticising him. We have some doubts:

Firstly, what is the right to sexuality? Does it actually exist?

Disabled people can only get laid based on their looks, as he implies? Isn't there anything deeper than how a body looks or is shaped? Will nobody have sex with a disabled person voluntarily?

Regarding prostitution, as a user - he himself said it - does he actually do some research to find a voluntary sex worker or does he just pay a woman he knows nothing about and that may be forced to prostitute herself? Can a client actually do a research on this?

Why is this issue only adressed when the disabled person is a man, and never discussed when it's a woman?

And then we've read some commentaries on sm defending how sex is a physiological need and quite honestly, that being the case, celibate and sex-avoiding ace people would all be dead by now, right?

We've been doubting to post this because we feel the issue is too complex and we lack education in almost every controversial point, but eventually decided that it'd be good to post and see if we can learn a thing or two.

What's your take on this?
