🔪HANNIBAL🔪

1. 👯‍♂️ If you could pick anyone from the show, who would be your bestie?��

Will Graham (28.6% from 315 votes) - An alarming number of you chose Hannibal Lecter to be your bestie… That’s a very dangerous position to put yourself in, I’m just saying.

2. 📞 You get kidnapped and your abductors are looking to hold you hostage for ransom. Who do you tell them to call?    

Hannibal Lecter (35.2% from 176 votes) - Okay so… I feel like Hannibal would use this as an opportunity to cause chaos and it might not work out so great for me. (Not that I’m the best judge of character … I voted for Bedelia, so what does that tell you?)

3. 🚔 You get pulled over for speeding. Who do you want riding shotgun?     

Hannibal Lecter (36% from 242 votes) - If anyone can talk me out of a speeding ticket, it’s Hannibal. 

4. 🤡 You find a framed photograph of a creepy clown on your desk at work. Who do you think would pull this office prank?     

Beverly Katz (61% from 195 votes) - Who am I to disagree with the majority (and with a significant margin as well)?

5. 😍 You have a secret crush. To whom do you confide your secret?     

Beverly Katz (39.2% from 250 votes) - I can’t believe that there was 1.6% of voters who picked Chilton for this one… 🤦🏻‍♀️

6. 🦎 If you had the ability to change any character from the show into a newt, who would you choose?     

Fredrick Chilton (41.9% from 241 votes) - *sigh* The fandom just has it out for him… and he has suffered so much already. 

7. 🏹 You have been given one of cupid’s arrows and you now have the ability to make one person fall in love with you. Who do you choose?     

Will Graham (24.6% from 610 votes) - Fun Fact: Hannibal came in a close second with 22.3% of the votes. 

8. 🥃 You have acquired a cup of mysterious elixir that grants eternal life to the drinker. However, the elixir also destines them to become your mortal enemy. Which character from the show do you choose to take a sip?     

Fredrick Chilton (37.9% from 132 votes) - I’m a little sad that my precious little fuck-up is going to despise me. But at least he’ll live. 

9. 🔁 You are being followed by a nefarious individual. You hide in a bathroom and bump into a character from the show. They suggest swapping outfits so you can slip past your pursuer unnoticed. Which character would you pick for the switch?     

Will Graham (27.9% from 165 votes) - I guess this makes sense because Will’s wardrobe is unremarkable but come on… we could’ve had so much fun switching with someone with a bit more flare. 

10. ⛓️You have been kidnapped and chained up in a basement! Who is the culprit?   

Hannibal Lecter (42.7% from 213 votes) - Well, at least I’m not dead…. Yet.   

11. 🍽️ You are invited to a dinner party hosted by Hannibal Lecter at his home. Who is your plus one?     

Will Graham (29.8% from 188 votes) - At least Hannibal will be distracted by Will and not pay me any attention. I want to stay OFF of Hannibal’s radar. 

12. 🤡 You are pulling a prank and placing a framed photograph of a creepy clown on someone’s work desk. On which character’s desk do you place the photo?     

Fredrick Chilton (41.5% from 106 votes) - I guess we’re all bullying Chilton … (I voted for him too.)

13. 🦎  You have been turned into a newt! Which character from the show do you think is responsible?     

Hannibal Lecter (33.5% from 179 votes) - Yeah… if anyone is capable of it, it’s him.

14. 📖  If transported to this universe, who would read dirty, dirty fan fics about themselves?     

Hannibal Lecter (62.7% from 354 votes) - Oh he’d eat these up … just like Will’s ass. 

15. 🏹 Will Graham has one of Cupid's arrows but (unbeknownst to him) it is tipped with lethal poison. Who do you want him to shoot with the arrow?     

Hannibal Lecter (36% from 189 votes) - I’ve been doing a bit of research on the mythology of wendigos and how traditionally it is an evil spirit that possesses human and causes them to commit murder as they have an insatiable hunger for human flesh. So I wonder … would shooting Hannibal kill him and release the evil spirit or would it kill the spirit and Hannibal would be freed from its possession of him? 

16. 🍸You find yourself in a drinking competition. Who do you want to face off against?     

Fredrick Chilton (43.4% from 205 votes) - I doubt Chilton’s kidneys are really functioning these days … an easy win for me, I guess. 

17. 👚You are doing laundry at a laundromat.  When you go to pull your clothes from the washer, you find that someone has stuck their red underwear in with your whites, turning everything PINK. Who is the culprit?     

Fredrick Chilton (39.9% from 178 votes) - Now I’m picturing Chilton in red underwear… You know, I’m not mad. 

18. 🆘 You pass out and wake up to find someone giving you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Who is most likely to step in and attempt to save your life?  

Beverly Katz (28.7% from 188 votes) - I voted Bedelia because I am unhinged… LOL  

19. 🤒 One of the characters from the show becomes ill and you have to step in and cover their duties for the rest of the week. Which character gets sick?    

Will Graham (18.5% from 157 votes) - Fun fact - Beverly was a close 2nd 

20. 🦎Once again, you have been turned into a newt! (I don't know how this keeps happening.) Which character from the show do you trust to care for you while you are in your lizard-like state?     

Will Graham (40.8% from 191 votes) - I’m fine with this just as long as he keeps me away from all the dogs. They would eat me. 

21. 🚌You are in charge of taking all of the characters on a field trip to the zoo. Which character do you have to repeatedly reprimand for speaking out of turn?     

Freddie Lounds (45.9% from 218 votes)  - Yeah… Shut up Freddie! Honestly. 

22. 🖐️You get a chance to slap one character in the face with absolutely no negative repercussions. Who do you choose?     

Hannibal Lecter (36.5% from 219 votes) - Sooooo worth it!

23. 🐺You've contracted a case of lycanthropy (aka you've been turned into a werewolf). Fearful that you'll spread the condition (or worse), you enlist the help of one character to put you out of your misery before the next full moon. Who do you choose?    

Hannibal Lecter (33.6% from 152 votes)  - IDK if this is a good idea… he might just keep me and do experiments on me to see if I can be controlled. 

24. 🧑‍🏫You are a teacher and conducting parent-teacher conferences. The parent of your most problematic student walks in. Who is that parent?   

Freddie Lounds (31.1% from 222 votes)  - Ugh… who got her pregnant in the first place?

25. 🩺You are an ER doctor. A patient comes in who has "slipped" and fallen onto an object that is now lodged in their rectum. Who is that patient?   

Frederick Chilton (60.9% from 363 votes)   - I love you Frederick. You don’t have to listen to them… just use something with a flared base next time. 

26. 🧸Out of the following characters, who is the most likely to secretly have a massive Beanie Baby collection?     

Frederick Chilton (30.8% from 273 votes)  - He probably just thought it was a good long term investment… 

27. 🌎 One of the characters from the show is convinced the earth is flat. Which character believes this completely unhinged conspiracy theory?     

Frederick Chilton (55.7% from 314 votes)  - C’mon… he’s a little unhinged but not THAT unhinged

28. 🧀 You are a Border/Customs agent. Which character do you catch trying to smuggle in unpasteurized cheese from France?  

Hannibal Lecter (52.6% from 215 votes) - Y’all… Hannibal is NOT going to get caught unless he wants to get caught. 

29. 🎞️ You're going to a midnight interactive screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Who is totally excited to be going with you? 

Beverly Katz (46.3% from 272 votes) - I picked Chilton because ... honestly, it's something Raul would totally do. LOL! But could you image trying to take Will? He would hate it.

Who up thinking about The Nefarious Elixir?

[calebwittebane]

that cold brew from traitor joes is the most decadent substance in the world. straight up dangerous in how good and yummy and potent it is. it could drive one to madness. truly wicked nefarious stuff. seems outright perilous, for me to have access to such powerful potions. and not only that--after i'm done consuming the elixir, i get to suck on the ice cubes. and crunch them and munch them. they taste of the cold brew as well. this kind of luxury... to think that some take this for granted. many simply drive to a traitor joes whenever they like and purchase the cold brew. well for me this is a big event. as it should be. because this is decadent. the barriers i normally face in accessing the traitor joes cold brew seem entirely justified

[moss-touching-butch-squared]

I think tiger balm might actually be a magical elixir btw guys, if you have back pain, this stuff is amazing, I should have been using it for this the whole time not just nefarious reasons

[teslacoils-and-hubris]

I get the 'haha mad scientists aren't real scientists because they don't have a control group lol' thing, even find it very funny. I hold no grudge against it

But also mad scientists didn't start off as scientists. They call themselves scientists sure, even the authors say they work in science, but they aren't really scientists you know? Especially modern day scientists

When the genre came about science was still new and wishy washy. You could kind of do whatever and some of it worked but a lot of it didn't. Doctors really were digging up graves and stealing corpses for their ""nefarious deeds"". And authors asked how far will this go? How horribly? What monstrous deeds are we going to let these so called scientists get away with?

The realm of mad science started far more in the nature of alchemy than it ever did real science. They've never been real scientists. The elixir of life and distilling evil out of a soul has historically been the magicians interest, until science came about and started changing things with reason and logic and gave way to Victor Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll.

Looking at modern day mad scientists, you have common tropes that are all about the worst parts of science. What happens when you ignore ethics and peer review and stray into obsession. The fears people have around the advance of science. The nazi doctor torturing people in horrific experiments became a common troupe after ww2, because people were scared of what happens when science goes wrong. Comic book villain scientists almost always get their powers because of a freak accident or blind obsession that makes them ignore risks and warning signs.

It's never been about doing proper science. If they had control groups or cared about ethics boards or moral implications they wouldn't be mad scientists they'd just be scientists.

[mothermara]

you ever get home and get excited bc you have tomorrow off and start making simple syrup and some nefarious elixirs and then you take a sip of the glass of juice you adorned with a very restrained half ounce of vodka and a splash of triple sec and feel it wash over you like a wave of static and then go "oh, I need to eat dinner first."

Hydra Prized Creation

➥ summary: Hydra created a mastermind unlike none other with intellects only the greatest individuals could possess they combined that with their new advanced version of the super solider serum, and thus a ghost was born.

➥ chapter 1: The Creation of a Living Enigma

In the clandestine depths of a hidden laboratory, far away from prying eyes, a young woman named (Y/N) came into existence. She was no ordinary being; she was the result of a dark alliance between the nefarious organization known as Hydra and their insidious experiments. (Y/N) was forged to be their ultimate weapon, a convergence of scientific prowess and untapped potential.

Hydra, driven by their insatiable desire for power and control, spared no expense in crafting their living enigma. In their relentless pursuit of dominance, they combined the most advanced iteration of the Super Soldier Serum with a host of genetic material derived from the greatest creators, inventors, and masterminds the world had ever known. (Y/N) became a living amalgamation of brilliance and physical prowess.

The laboratory hummed with energy as the final preparations were made for the creation of this unprecedented being. Hydra's scientists, cloaked in the shadows of their sinister intentions, meticulously calibrated the intricate mechanisms of (Y/N)'s creation. They carefully infused her nascent form with the advanced Super Spiller Serum, a potent elixir designed to enhance her physical attributes to unparalleled heights.

Layer by layer, (Y/N)'s genetic blueprint was woven with threads of brilliance and ingenuity. Fragments of DNA from luminaries such as Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace, Albert Einstein, and countless others were delicately interwoven into her being. This genetic mosaic imbued her with an incomparable intellect, a mind capable of grasping the intricacies of science, art, and invention with unprecedented clarity.

As the final stage of her creation approached, (Y/N)'s dormant form lay suspended in a chamber of pulsating liquid, each nutrient-rich droplet nurturing her developing potential. The air crackled with anticipation, for Hydra knew that within her lay the promise of unrivaled power and immeasurable destruction.

With a surge of electricity and a burst of blinding light, (Y/N) emerged from her liquid cocoon, her eyes snapping open to reveal an incandescent intelligence that seemed to pierce through the veil of the unknown. Her hair cascaded around her face, dark as midnight, as she took her first breath, filling her lungs with the air of her newfound existence.

The scientists, simultaneously awed and fearful of their creation, gazed upon her with a mix of trepidation and pride. Their ultimate weapon had been forged, an entity capable of reshaping the world in Hydra's sinister image. But (Y/N) was no mere puppet; she possessed a mind of her own, fueled by the amalgamation of the world's greatest intellects.

Hydra, basking in the thrill of their accomplishment, prepared to unleash their creation upon an unsuspecting world. They envisioned a future in which (Y/N) would infiltrate the highest echelons of power, bending governments and institutions to their will. She would be Hydra's masterpiece, a living embodiment of their aspirations.

Yet, in the midst of Hydra's triumph, a flicker of defiance danced within (Y/N)'s eyes. Deep within her core, she harbored a yearning for freedom, an innate desire to break free from the clutches of her creators and chart her own path. She knew that she possessed unparalleled potential, not only as a weapon but as a force for change in a world marred by darkness.

As (Y/N) stood tall, her presence radiating with the knowledge of her extraordinary origins, she resolved to seize control of her destiny. She would harness her superlative intellect, her physical prowess, and the echoes of the greatest minds ever known within her, to forge a future that defied Hydra's sinister machinations.

And so, (Y/N), born of Hydra's ambitions but tempered by the indomitable spirit of her creators and inventors, took her first steps into an uncertain world. Her journey had just begun, her path riddled with choices, challenges, and a purpose that transcended the shadows of her creation.

venēnum amōris

Sasori x Sakura

i.e. "[a/the] potion/juice/poison/venom of [a(n)/the] love/admiration/desire/enjoyment"

or

sakura makes sasori a love poison.

Halloween, Necromancer!Sasori, Witch!Sakura, love potions, sasori is down bad as always

“Hello, Sasori!” Sakura calls cheerfully as she enters Sasori’s little metaphysical shop. Half apothecary, half alchemistic supplies, half curiosity store. Shelves lined with jars of toxic powders and bottles of corrosive elixirs. Preserved venomous squamata. “How are you today?”

She pays little mind to the vast difference in their respective magical practices, Sakura leaning towards love and light and all sorts of other virtuous do-goodings that make Sasori want to gag. While he, well, prefers to play with the dead—and things that will soon make one dead. Necromancy and iniquitous magic of a more nefarious nature.

“I am as I am every time you see fit to bless the shop with your presence,” Sasori intones dryly. She is the most annoying little witch prancing about town. From her mycena rosea toned hair to her verdant eyes. They glow when she uses her magic, nearly the same bioluminescence hue of the hadrurus arizonensis that fill the tank behind him when exposed to uv light.

“Well, the continuity is most certainly appreciated,” Sakura laughs lightly, making her way over to the counter. He wonders if she glamors herself to be so vexingly pretty, as lovely as the haunted porcelain dolls locked away in the warded display cases, or if it comes naturally so. From her charming coloring to the teasing banter she treats him with, she is the most tempting of specimens.

Sasori has checked, on more than one occasion, if she has placed him under some sort of love spell. A phenomenon-like pull to draw him into her web, an amorous curse of erotic attraction. She unfortunately has not; he rechecks often nonetheless. The quixotic feelings of lust and yearning all his own. An infelicitous lasciviousness he pushes down at the thought of her in most any capacity.

“It’s near sundown, shouldn’t you be hunkered down next to your hearth by now? Tending to your fire?” He mocks lightly. Her home warm and inviting, cozy even. Full of mismatched furniture and all her instruments of practice, he’s been by a few times on errands forced upon him by his grandmother. “All Hallows Eve is soon upon us, you know.”

Mere hours away from the setting sun crosses the barrier of the horizon, stealing the light from the sky. The turning of the bountiful harvest into the cold bleakness of winter. Sakura’s light, green work magic will dampen as the death and decay of Sasori’s dark magic strengthen.

“I came for some last-minute supplies,” she offers, tapping her nails on the countertop. Sasori narrows his eyes at the offending chipped opalescent enamel-coated keratin. Fingers adorned with an assortment of metal rings that catch the light as she moves.

“A candle for your jack-o-lantern,” he drawls. Protections from any sinister spirits that may be lurking about, all too eager to get their hands on a source of magic to feast on. “Or perhaps some cinnamon and clove for your simmer pot.”

Sakura often comes by the shop to purchase ingredients for her medicines. Dried flowers and leaves. Processed powders and tinctures. The occasional handful of mildly toxic hallucinogenic berries or psychoactive mushrooms that find their way into his inventory.

“Very funny,” she tells him, with a perfect pout. “I was thinking more along the lines of belladonna or mandrake.”

“Oh, really?” Sasori queries as uninterestedly as he can manage. “Seems a little dark for your type.”

It is true. Sakura’s a garden witch—a good one, both in skill and morality; village folk often seek her out for her restorative potions and medicinal balms to help treat their illnesses and ailments. She dabbles in divination and crystals. Star-reading and matchmaking. Midwifery. Hardly the type to need ingredients for darker, occult leaning intentions.

“Dare’s bane, hemlock, foxglove.” She continues, counting off items on her fingers. Sasori keeps his expression neutral as she prattles on. “Wing of bat. Eye of newt.”

“Now you’re just being ridiculous,” he informs her. “No one calls that these days. Ilex aquifolium leaves and seeds from sinapis alba.”

“I mean,” Sakura interjects in his scientific classification lesson, “most people would call it holly and mustard seed. Who’s out here memorizing taxonomies for common potions ingredients?”

Sasori doesn’t point out that he does, and also Sakura, despite her teasing of him. She’s in here often enough with both her own orders and pick-ups that she packs in a little wicker basket to deliver to his grandmother. (The Old Hag never forgets to remark on Sakura’s lack of a husband every single time Sasori endures her presence.)

“What are you really here for?” He’s itching to know what she aspires to do on this nocturnal holiday.

“Oh, you’re so impatient.” She tells him. Sasori’s often torn in her presence, unable to decide if he never wants to leave her side or never wants to see her again. “I need some sugar cubes.”

Sakura has a running tab in his bookkeeping ledger, as she does not charge people for her services, taking payment in whatever form it is given. From wild honey to handmade gifts. Tokens or trinkets. Fresh meat and jars of jam or jelly. Favors, secrets, and the like. Trading in her earnings to pay down her balance when she acquires a novelty that Sasori would find of value.

“Sugar?” He can’t keep the shock out of his voice. What kind of silly little witch ventures out on All Hallows Eve to buy sugar instead of preparing her home against wicked specters and all other manner of malevolent supernatural creatures?

And almost like a test of his patience, something he has little of, waiting for her selection is always worth it. Sakura smiles, like the little flirtatious minx she is, pulling out a flask-sized crystal bottle from the depths of her enchanted apron pocket.

The liquid inside near fluorescent green, shimmering and swirling in its container, clearly magical in its properties. Absinthe, likely made by Sakura herself.

“You plan to divine tonight?” Quirking a brow, how licentious of her. He swallows the urge to offer to join her. To get a glimpse of her usual sweetness in a more debauched state on such a sacred night to his practice.

She swirls the bottle, causing the contents to swirl and flow around. Enchanting, entrancing, enticing. Passing it over the counter to him. “Not quite.”

Sasori pulls the stopper off the top, wafting the fumes towards his nose. Wormwood, fennel, and anise as expected. An overlay of mint, lemon balm, and basil.

“A love potion?” Nothing less than scandalous. Salacious.

She hums, fidgeting with the small crystal display on the counter. “A short-term lust potion, one that intensifies sensations between a couple. I thought perhaps we could enjoy it together if you were not otherwise engaged for the night.”

Oh.

Oh.

Sasori would enjoy that very much indeed.
