#hannibal advent

[7itch0zero]

[palatinewolfsblog]

Welcome again on the 14th day of my advent calendar.

And the challenge is a song for a wedding.

And so i chose a real Gem for you. Unique.

"Vide cor meum" by the irish composer Patrick Cassidy.

A true masterpiece. So full of love and longing.

No wonder Filmmakers use it in highly emotional scenes. I might mention "The Kingdom of Heaven" or - "Hannibal".

And believe me - they know very well why.

To me it's also a perfect wedding song.

Not for mine. I was married once and found the experience was more than - sufficient.

But if you make up your mind (and think of all the kitsch you often hear on such occasions) - i think this would be an excellent choice...

If you think Will didn't make a wooden advent calendar with his own hands for Hannibal then you are wrong. He filled it with spices and tea bags.

If you think Hannibal did not cry like a little girl who got a puppy for Christmas, you're again wrong.

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @piratefalls! Yay, wasting time - I've been doing so much of that today and thank you for giving me another way to! (Seriously, I would've just been watching more Youtube compilations without you.) That's probably why these answers are so long. Procrastination? Wellllll don't mind if I do!

How many works do you have on ao3? 154

What's your total ao3 word count?

1,280,205

What fandoms do you write for?

Primarily Teen Wolf and Harry Potter. HP was my original homeslice and I kind of sharpened my teeth on fic-writing in general there, found what I liked and didn't like, how to engage with fandom, what I found attractive and what turned me off (for characters and plot beats), honed my craft and made my mistakes there and then with the advent of AO3 and the finding of Teen Wolf, I feel like I blossomed and built a home and am hopefully making fewer oopsiedoosles. Though I have also written a fic or so for: Hannibal, The Meg, Mr. Robot, X-Men, Star Trek, and Breaking Bad.

Top five fics by kudos:

There's Monsters at Home, Sterek, Teen Wolf. (15,285)

Time to Eternity, Drarry, Harry Potter. (8,416)

Option C) Some Bad Guys are Werewolves, but Not All Werewolves are Bad Guys, Sterek, Teen Wolf. (7,759)

Of Bananas, Babies and Buzzkills, Sterek, Teen Wolf. (5,134)

Instructions for Dancing, Sterek, Teen Wolf. (5,099)

Do you respond to comments?

Not anymore. Occasionally one that asks a direct question I'll answer, if that answer isn't already somewhere on or in the fic.

Though the last one I answered was someone who didn't read my tags or notes, telling me I didn't warn for something that was in the tags and notes, and I was so polite, like, "How can I make this clearer?" instead of saying, "#!@%^&$@$@#^$%&$^&^&$%^@#$%" like I fucking wanted to and they then said: "Oh yeah, I didn't read any of that, guess you don't need to change anything." Which was exactly what I expected would happen and I took the time to answer because I want more than anything to teach that person a lesson, even though I am absolutely certain they learned nothing from the interaction. But I tried, I did my part, and I wasn't even an asshole about it. (Please, please, please, the amount of times I've been told in the snarkiest damn fashion to tag for something that is already fucking tagged...... like, how do I have to say: read the tags before snidely chastising me for what isn't in them?? And it's not like.... I used different language or anything, they will ask me to tag for the EXACT DAMN TAG already on the fic. My collection of these comments is genuinely getting out of hand.)

And there is one I kind of want to answer that I got in the last month or so because it's one of the nicest and most vulnerable things I've ever been told but there aren't enough letters, or strong enough ones, or big enough ones to hold all the gratitude and care that wants to pour into them so I just... haven't.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hrm, I think these are just the most obvious of those and if I actually had to sit with this and go through my catalogue of fic, I would come up with a way more off-center answer because the angst is much subtler but harder hitting but that sounds like it would take brain power and, wow, is it that late already *coughs*

Either I Smoke My Friends Down to the Filter or But the Mess Prevails. I think maybe the latter because it's kind of triumphant in ISMFDttF, Stiles stands up for himself, but in BtMP they both want to be together but it's just another way for Derek to punish himself if they are.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Similar caveat to the one above as I'm not really focusing on ending (because more brain power) as much as just happy overall. Either [Hilary Duff Lyric Redacted] or Instructions for Dancing - they are both just fluff bombs almost entirely from start to finish.

Do you get hate on fics?

Mostly no. There's one fic that I have comments turned off on (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS FUNCTION, AO3, 10000000% THIS FIC WOULD NOT STILL EXIST IF NOT FOR YOU) because people would yell things at me I already explicitly stated I agreed with? Like I wrote a fic for a fest (back when I wrote in a lot fests, lol), it was a dark prompt and I can't remember if the prompter wanted a happy ending or if it was a stipulation of the fest that it couldn't end badly but it's a dark prompt so while I could get the two characters to the point of co-parenting, I did not get them back together. And the comments I mainly got were: how dare you get them the fuck back together? To which I was like: um, I didn't, also if I was forced to keep going with this fic, this character would end up with this one instead. And then I got a deluge of comments that were like: how dare you get them back together!? And for a while, I explained that you read into it, which is understandable as - to satisfy whomever's requirement - it is an impression I wanted you to walk away with, but as you'll notice at no point are they back together or romantically involved again, they're in the same room and have reached a ceasefire, that's it. And that's as friendly as I see that relationship getting, and no one read any of that and kept yelling at me for the same reason and mentally I was like: fuck all of you, either the fic goes or I do so I turned off the comments so I wouldn't delete it. I find since commenting is off (or "hidden" rather, I can still see it and have the option to approve or nuke it), people have to really engage with a) what I've already replied before and b) whether or not it's worth it to leave a review that will literally only be seen by me. Suddenly everyone has reading comprehension and no one is just yelling to yell because the only one you're engaging with is *jazz hands* me, and I am obviously not the audience for that.

Do you write smut?

Yep!

Craziest crossover:

I have a Hunger Games/TW one that is one of two unfinished fics on AO3 because every time I even think about it, it intimidates me. And since I don't read crossovers, I have no idea how you're supposed to do them or how much of the other IP you can take on without it seeming like you've just rewritten with different characters or how much you should change when everyone knows what you're working from anyway - it's all a mystery to me and I am flummoxed by it.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

People post my old HP shit that no longer exists on the internet to Wattpad quite a bit and I am not savvy enough to figure out how to get it down. The few times I've contacted people who posted it under my name to take it down, instead just remove my name and fully pretend it's theirs. On some, I've found the people on LJ who have saved the fic in question and are giving it out and quietly asked them to stop because they were ending up as stolen fic on Wattpad.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, many!

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Em and I have started one but never finished - it's me, I'm Mr. Ambrose: "I start, I don't finish things."

All time favorite ship?

I think it's Stiles and Derek, man??? I don't know, I have a lot of niche ones too that I feel like if there were more content/interest, they would be it but there isn't sooooo....

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

That THG/TW fic - it scares me so much. Like, who was that confident girl who didn't understand things at all and was like: yeah, that's fine? Don't know her. PvW - I have a lot written in the future and for the next chapter, plus an outline, it's just a matter of getting my attention to stay on it and I have the next chapter of WDHGsGA written and an outline for the next two, I just don't want to post it until it's totally finished so I don't have to worry about losing the atmosphere/tone again and, again, I just have to get my focus back to it but the chances of me letting that writing go totally down the drain? Unlikely.

What are your writing strengths?

Um, I think I have a good understanding of how humans work. I think writing is definitely made a lot easier when you have a handle on the psychology and a gut sense for people. It's not hard to craft fake scenarios when you have a pretty decent understanding of how people would react in them.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Grammar-wise, commas throw me completely. I have no idea where they're supposed to go and I do my best, okay?! I really only got Florida public school education on this and it was: wherever you feel like you should have one, do that.

More generally, I also feel like I don't have the same needs to satisfy as a large percentage of readers - I need a relationship at the core of a fic to feel significant and weighty to want to write a story about it, but that doesn't mean it needs to survive to the end of said fic or that characters need to hit certain relationship milestones for it to feel worthwhile to me. I think this sometimes leads me to endings that some people feel are unsatisfying because I got what I needed but maybe some readers didn't?

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Totally neutral. Doesn't bother or thrill me to any extent.

First fandom you wrote in?

Harry Potter.

Favorite fic you've written?

Favorite? That's hard. I'm, as mentioned, super shitty at finishing things so the fact that TMaH is completed - even without going into any of its content (all of which is made to order, absolutely my favorite stuff) - makes it a top contender.

I also still really love A Fine Foray into Fashionable Fellatio, the last Harry Potter fic I wrote, which was Draco/Ron. I love that to kick my brain into gear, I would start mentally painting the scenes, from oranges and reds to beiges and cool winter blues - I don't know I've ever used color so much in anything. It hasn't worked since and I think it's because - having been away from those characters and that fandom for so long - I had such a crystal clear image of them and because Draco, especially, was so different from how he's usually pictured in fic/fanart (curly-haired, absolutely swank as fuck Muggle style) that the lines were so defined it was easy to paint within them.

And I think my favorite writing piece right now is He Speaks in Petals. It's such a short fic and I reread it in the last year or so and it's so much more lyrical than I remember. I knew that was what I was going for and I did not think I managed it but it's got some really soft, kind whimsy to it that I like a lot and find very calming and reaffirming.

Share the 0/10s and 1/10s from the movie ranking masterlist too please

Letterboxd doesn't allow 0/10s, so 1/10 is the lowest it goes. Mine are (in chronological order):

Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)

Orca (1977)

Jaws: The Revenge (1987)

Poltergeist III (1988)

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

Troll 2 (1990)

Carnosaur (1993)

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)

Digimon: The Movie (2000)

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)

Hannibal (2001)

The Master of Disguise (2002)

Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2003)

Darkness Falls (2003)

House of the Dead (2003)

The Room (2003)

Scarecrow Slayer (2003)

Raptor Island (2004)

Alone in the Dark (2005)

Dragon Wars (2007)

Rubber (2010)

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

Furry Nights (2016)

Selfie from Hell (2018)

Most of these are not the most controversial choices, and many barely qualify as films. To be a 1 out of 10 you either have to be obviously incompetent in every possible regard (Manos, The Room, most of the other low-budget horror trash here) or else notable and unique in your atrociousness. Digimon: The Movie is a movie that is bad in a way no other movie has ever been; there's almost something admirable in how fundamentally fucked the film is in every conceivable way, especially considering the movie is pieced together from bits of actual movies that are, if not masterpieces, significantly better than this Frankenstein thing. Then there's the class of films that are completely full of themselves despite being pretty terrible (Hannibal, Rubber, Only Lovers Left Alive), where any shred of competent filmmaking is tanked by the complete tonal mismatch.

I have 143 2/10s, so I won't list all of them (many are low-budget and/or straight-to-DVD horror films), but here are a few honorable mentions among movies people may have actually seen or heard of:

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989)

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

The Flintstones (1994)

The Parent Trap (1998) (This film may not actually be that bad, but I was forced to watch it about 200 times as a child, so I hate it)

What Women Want (2000)

Reign of Fire (2002)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005)

Eragon (2006)

Teeth (2007)

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Transformers (2007)

Jumper (2008)

Burn After Reading (2008)

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)

Watchmen (2009) (Still better than the original comic, which I loathe)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)

Land of the Lost (2009)

Public Enemies (2009)

Year One (2009)

Gamer (2009)

Jennifer's Body (2009)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

Clash of the Titans (2010)

The Last Airbender (2010)

Devil (2010)

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011)

The Hunger Games (2012)

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)

Sharknado (2013)

Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)

The Imitation Game (2014)

The Equalizer (2014)

Night Is Short, Walk on Girl (2017)

High Life (2018)

i find it so strange that not everybody is thinking about ofmd all the time. it's only been 2 months why have we shut up about it? i only just watched it and it's not trending on tumblr and none of my friends would ever even have heard of it if not for me. and i'm stuck here reading A General History of the Pyrates (1724) and cross-referencing the irl events with the ofmd canon to try to figure out how closely the showrunners follow the real history and what will happen next

December 12th

He's hanging from a CHAIN!

[wolvesamongstdeer]

I’ve always entertained myself with the idea of Chilton wearing a silly ugly (yet fashionable) suit for the holidays and it was a pleasure to draw it. — For my Hannibal holiday Giftee, @hauscrashburn I hope you enjoy the drawings as much as I did creating them! Have a happy holidays!

A Dinner

Will sat at the table, carefully poking his food

Hannibal raised his eyebrow “Will, didn’t your father tell you not to play with your food?”

Will gave him a disgruntled look “You know he also told me not to murder and eat people so I don’t think this is where he would draw the line.”

“Fine, then I’m telling you, don’t play with your food. It’s disrespectful” Hannibal carefully cut off a piece of meat.

“You know I’m not the only one that has practiced cannibalism. Not savoring the meat is a further form of disrespect, and I’m sure that your father definitely told you to respect your elders.”

“I’m surprised you’re willing to eat older meat.”

“Oh I quite enjoy mutton actually. It all comes down to preparation.”

“I mean this in the nicest way possible but your fascination with butchering may be actually worse than the murders.”

“I’m just making sure that the animals are treated with the ultimate dignity. A butcher should not be inhumane.”

“Okay, just that statement itself makes me unhappy.”

[hauscrashburn]

Hannibal Advent Day 1: Apertif

He hoped he hadn’t let on how much the doctor’s open face but probing words had torn away the ground from beneath his feet. He fled from Jack’s office, heart crashing against his ribs, cheeks burning, and ducked into the bathroom. Will plunged his face into a basin of cool water, hoped that it could drown the heat that had been building since the doctor had begun his deceptively casual questioning. 

He hadn’t been savored by eyes in a long time. Dissected, perhaps. Studied. Fussed over, definitely. But never savored. There was a hunger in the doctor’s assessing gaze, a ravenous hunger hidden by that half smile. Will stared at himself in the mirror. His curls clung to his forehead, his eyes almost wild. 

Cursing himself, at that rare moment of attraction, Will shook his head and ordered himself to stop thinking about the man. 

“Hannibal Lecter. What kind of name is that anyways?” he scoffed as he shouldered his bag and headed to the classroom. He’d never hear from him again and that momentary flicker of regret made him wonder how much that gaze had really awoke within him. 

[iablmeanie]

Here’s my second Hannibal inspired playlist for Christmas. A bit darker, with some Will specific songs.
