It’s time to come to a proper run-through of last month’s Red Dragon Con 5 in London. Kate already wrote at length about the decision process and the run-up to the con on her blog last week. I’m afraid, I didn’t have that many qualms. When the news came through that Richard was going to attend the con, I was on those tickets as fast as you can say “Dolarhyde”. Not because of Hannibal, the fannibals or any previous con experience. In fact I had never been to a con before – and if truth be told, I never really wanted to go to a con before. But after checking the con ticket prices and making sure that flights to London in February are generally slow sellers, I reckoned that it was worth investing in it – even if only to witness the potentially one and only ever con attendance of Mr Armitage. Who knew whether this kind of event would ever happen again – with RA, that is? He had been rather shy about attending cons in the past, so this could easily be a once-off. Enough reason for me to see for myself, especially as I had experienced the fannibals as a very welcoming, nice fandom back in 2015 when Hannibal was on air. However, I was rather relieved that not only one but two of my fandom friends agreed to join me in London – Kate and Hariclea.

RA is definitely my Waterloo…

What more or less passed me by was Kate’s long battle in January with a very persistent cold that almost had her cancel her participation. We did, however, lose Hariclea as a co-con companion, as sadly, Hariclea’s mum passed away a couple of days before the event and she understandably had to cancel her attendance to go home. Nevertheless, on Friday morning, I took the early morning flight to LCR to get a few hours of exhibition hopping in before I was going to meet Kate. I made my way out to Heathrow to meet Kate in the hotel she had kindly booked. Sharing a hotel room with a stranger I had only known online and barely seen a photograph of? Of course – I have only ever met nice people through my fangirling activities. Plus, she was taking the same risk *grins*. I took the Piccadilly Line out towards Heathrow, got off at Hatton Cross, hopped on a bus, got off at the edge of the Heathrow runway, walked through a rather cold, grey, wet London day and kind of chuckled when I saw the hotel was right next to a bowling alley. Well, just in case that whole con malarkey didn’t work out we at least had some alternative entertainment…

Fuck it, Dude. Let’s go bowling!

I can tell you, there was a certain amount of excitement as I made my way to room 156 where my conspirator was already waiting for me, having checked in an hour earlier. If I hadn’t stopped smoking last November, I would’ve had a couple of rollies to calm down the nerves. (cf. a previous meeting also involving a hotel way back in 2014. I see a theme developing here…) As it was, I didn’t need any rollies. Kate opened the door, I said hi, we hugged – and we launched into a very comfortable friendship right there and then. Let me tell you, the woman is tolerant, witty and easy-going, ignoring my moody nonsense and providing the funniest comparisons from here to the Antipodes and back. We seemed to be pretty much on the same wave-length with everything over the weekend – from party attendance to fannibal defending to beddie times. Kate had me in stitches with her quips, and that alone made for three of the happiest, most carefree days of my life.

N/C

Registration

So, with the basics basically out of the way, we were looking forward to the weekend, con novices that we were. The con was billed to start at 4pm on Friday with registration. Since we had opted to stay in a hotel about 15 minutes away from the con venue, we decided to head over to the Renaissance hotel for a bit of re-con – and a bite to eat – in advance of the 4pm registration. Much to our surprise, a queue had already formed when we entered the lobby of the Renaissance hotel at about 3pm. We joined the queue – an exercise that would prove to be event-defining for the rest of the weekend… At the end of the queue we registered and received our dog tags badges for the event.

Totally reconciled with the fact that Gold tickets were sold out: Regular tickets were adorned with the Armitage. ‘A beautiful rear can also endear’ etc.

Thanks to some prior research we had also a) brought lanyards (so didn’t have to buy any) and b) signed up for stewarding at the con. Except that while Kate’s application as a volunteer had been accepted, I had never heard back from them. Kate encouraged me to try and get into stewarding nonetheless – which I did and was also “ennobled” as a con steward. This proved very useful later on. In various respects.

But first of all Kate and I finally got something to eat in the bar – and had our first *real* encounter with a fannibal, a lovely woman from Germany called Johanna, who really and totally set the tone and the bar for all subsequent interactions with the Hannibal fandom. There is next to no chance that she is ever going to see this, but if you know her, please let her know: Johanna, if you are reading this – thank you for being so kind, so funny, so encouraging. You really make a fantastic figurehead for your fandom. I enjoyed meeting you, and I regret not having bumped into you again! – You would think that you can’t lose your companions in a hotel – but you can. A lot of the communication and arranging of meetings was conducted via text message and/or Twitter DM that weekend. And that includes my roomie Kate and I. Yep, there were various instances where we had to call each other on the phone to locate each other in the hotel. Mad! Luckily fellow fan armidreamer and I had also exchanged phone numbers, and so I was able to hook up with her on Friday, too, and we ended up meeting all through the weekend. The more the merrier, right?

Anyway, the queuing continued, this time for the various extras one could splash out on. Photo ops and autographs are the big draw at cons, and I suspect it is where a lot of extra money is actually being made. Coming to RDC5, I had no intention of getting anything beyond the one autograph that was included in my ticket already. When Kate said that she was going to get a photo done, I was still undecided. However, you can’t just rock up at the photo (or autograph) sessions at these cons. Rather, you buy a voucher that entitles you to a photo shoot or an autograph. And so I decided to play it safe and bought a photo voucher – just in case. More about the whole photo saga later. And believe me, it’s a saga. If I knew it would be, I wouldn’t have bothered. I am still embarrassed. Like many other people I also had huge reservations about paying hefty prices for an autograph. Especially as autographs actually do not mean that much to me *personally*. I own a few already (personalised and unpersonalised, on photos, programmes and tickets – heck, I even have a silver “RA” on my beloved Pop!Thorin – see picture right), and I never had to pay for any of them. But then I thought I’d better use the opportunity and get a couple of autographs signed for future auctions – my donation, so to speak. And I also wanted to get a souvenir for Hariclea as a tiny little consolation for missing the con… So, whoa, 85 GBP went out the window there… (1 photo + 2 autographs). Seriously, I do hope that Richard also got a cut of that! Yep, I am still reeling myself. Don’t tell Mr Guylty, or this marriage is over! However, I’d ask you all to not be judgmental about this. Not that I mind if you were judgmental to *me* about this – I used to be the same for a long time. So, serves me right. But the other fans do not deserve any derision. There is much some to be said for and about these paid photo ops and autographs, the people who provide them and the people who buy them. And I will get to that in due course. Suffice to say that, with all that queuing done, it was already time to gather in the main hall for the big event of the day – the Opening Ceremony. Were we going to get our first glimpse of Richard?

Opening Ceremony

Remember I said it would prove useful to sign up as a volunteer at the con? Well, we realised that when we walked into the main hall for the opening ceremony. Not sure how many rows there were in total, but the first ten rows or so of the auditorium were completely occupied already, as were the last ten. No coincidence: The first few rows were reserved for Gold ticket holders! (If you were admiring those fabulous photos of Richard taken at the con – those came from Gold ticket holders who were really quite close up to him and the other guests.) Regular ticket holders had to sit at the back. There was only a small number of rows in between that still had empty seats – and they turned out to be reserved for the stewards!! So we quickly brandished our steward badges and bagged some seats half way back the auditorium. Definitely worth while volunteering – not least because it looked as if there were not enough seats for the regular ticket holders for whom extra chairs were added at the back of the hall. Anyway, this was our view:

The red and black dot on the stage is Jeremy Davies (played a character called Peter Bernadone in Hannibal). He was the first guest to be called onto the stage, and you get an idea how many people were there and how far back we were sitting – despite our privileged steward seats… After Davies, two more guests were announced, namely Aaron Abrams and Scott Thompson. They were the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of Hannibal (playing a bit of a comedic duo, crime scene investigators Brian Zeller and Jimmy Price) and absolute fan favourites. (You may also remember Scott Thompson from the Hannibal aftershows “Post Mortem”.) I very much warmed to them, too. (More about that in a later post.)

And finally, finally… Look at the picture above again. See the screen on the right? And further right to that, the double doors? That’s where the guests were ushered in, and wow, like at every other event I have ever seen RA live at, it gave me a total jolt to the stomach when I spotted RA there, beside the stage, waiting to be called… He couldn’t help but mess around before he was introduced and made funny shadow shapes behind the screen… Don’t you just have to love him…? I really dislike the word dork, but he really is a messer! You’ve already seen some of my pictures of the event, so I’ll put a slide show in here with the whole, unedited shebang – sorry, really not great, but just for the record.

The Complete and Unedited Pictures of RA at the Opening Ceremony

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This whole solo appearance lasted for the tiny eternity of 2 minutes, btw! As the second billed guest RA received a lot of cheering and clapping – he was the eponymous Red Dragon, after all – but not as much as Mads Mikkelsen, understandably. He looked absolutely gorgeous on stage though, not least because he was casually dressed all in black with tighty black jeans, a comfy hoodie and a leather jacket. All of the guests had directed a few words at the audience, but RA really made a nice little welcome speech that seemed a bit longer. “Some of you travelled far and braved the weather, congratulations. I didn’t have to because this is my home.” etc. He also could not resist a comment about the flower crowns referring to them as “flower heads” (although one of the previous guests – Aaron? – had used the term before), no comment 😁. His toned down facial shrubbery that was more like a slightly neglected lawn of wild flowers than a full-blown hayfield, looked rather good from far away. And from closer up, even more so, I suppose…

(See the edited pics of the opening ceremony in bigger version in part 2 of my RDC5 series.)

I have to say that I thought RA looked and sounded like a complete pro in those two minutes he had on stage. His ex tempore speech was just perfect for the occasion – welcoming people, referring to the actual day (by way of weather – so English *haha*), throwing in a little personal admission (“I’m at home”) and spreading a bit of fun with his gentle teasing re. flower heads. So yeah, I thought he came across as a confident and self-assured, a bit curious and wide-eyed about the whole event he was finding himself at, but willing to go on the journey. Again, I felt as if he really set the tone there, opening up and signalling that he was here to experience this and that he was willing to have fun. Thumbs up. Finding out that his appearance on stage only lasted 2 minutes, really surprised me. At the time, it felt much longer. But yeah, maybe time stands still whenever the master himself turns up in RL *hehe*…

Anyway, RA was then followed by the star of the con, Mads Mikkelsen. Again, he also made a lovely little intro speech, and I have to say I was very much impressed by the resounding and warm applause that he was welcomed with. You could tell that the fannibals were absolutely ecstatic to have Mads at the con. They didn’t hold back, and those kind of open admissions of love and admiration were something I really, really loved seeing all through the weekend. – After Mads had been introduced, all guests returned to the stage again. As part of the whole group, Richard looked slightly shy and awkward on stage, I thought. Not quite in his element. He was definitely the tallest of all guests, yet even as it was happening and I hadn’t even yet seen any photos of the event, it occurred to me that he looked as if he wanted to blend into the background. Up to his usual modesty, I guess, he was kind of standing one step behind all the others, kind of slouching a bit, with his hands in his pockets and his head all the way down to his shoulders. I haven’t really got any pictures of my own showing all of the guests standing there on stage, but yeah, my heart broke a little bit there – whether it was for a gorgeous guy making himself small and invisible, or for a gorgeous guy being modest and humble, it definitely added to his attraction. However, it also added to the danger of succumbing to APM…

Anyway, believe it or not, it was all a good start to the whole experience. Nice fannibals, nice fellow fans, nice roomie, nice guests, nice RA. The opening ceremony was just half an hour long or so, then the guests were all whisked away and the room emptied. We were basically done for the day. For the Gold ticket holders, it was only just getting interested though: They actually had a meet & greet with the guests – which Richard apparently was a great hit at, according to the tweets that I saw. Ourselves, Kate and I kind of hung around, thinking we might have a look at the promised party. But then we both kind of folded at about 9pm and decided to go back to our hotel instead. It had been a long, exhausting day – with both of us travelling from a different country, finding our way to our hotel, meeting each other, negotiating our way around the event – and dealing with the accelerated heart rate of being in the vicinity of the OOA… No wonder we thought we needed to lie down.

In the end, we actually ended up chatting until after midnight. The amount of processing to be done when seeing RA in the flesh *haha*… And that was only after half a day of con life… We had no idea what was going to hit us the next day…

An Armitage Fan at #RDC5 – FRIDAY [part 7 of the whole saga otherwise] It's time to come to a proper run-through of last month's Red Dragon Con 5 in London.

The Hannigram Obsession

One of the things that is most disturbing to me is the obsession surrounding Hannigram. For those who don’t know what that is, it’s a fictional and non-canonical relationship from the show Hannibal. It is the romantic pairing of Will Graham with Hannibal Lecter. We’ll start with a brief history of why this isn’t actually canon, as well as why it’s not actually romantic. We’ll follow that up with what the fandom turned it into and how it’s become problematic.

First of all, no matter how much people want to cry that this is a canon ship it just isn’t. By the definition of the word “canon” it isn’t. The events in the show that transpired on screen through actions or dialogue do not show any romantic interaction between Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham. What they show is a man in a position of power (Hannibal) using that power to brainwash, manipulate, and gaslight his victim (Will Graham). There was never anything in the show that denoted, for any second, that Will Graham felt love towards Hannibal Lecter or vice versa.

The Hannigram shippers will bend over backwards to justify this relationship as not only canon but loving and romantic. They seem utterly blind to the fact that what actually happened here was Hannibal pretty much brainwashed Will into being codependent. So badly, in fact, that Will decided he couldn’t live without Hannibal and literally killed Hannibal and himself at the end of season three. This denotes a relationship that was in no way loving or organic. It denotes there was a significant amount of abuse that took place to get Will into such a mental state that he would feel that way or do something so utterly drastic.

The only real argument they have going in their favor that may support Hannigram being canon is Bryan Fuller saying that it was canon (or still is). However, he never put anything in the show that denotes that. We enter into a problem of history revision and the defense of an author because “they say so” even though they have not actually put the material in the source they created in the first place. If Bryan Fuller wanted Hannigram to be canon and romantic, he had all the power to do that when he was making the show. He was the show creator, after all, yet he made a very conscious decision not to do that. Not to include it. Bryan Fuller, is in essence, manipulating the fans.

Though I really hate the term “queerbaiting” because 99% of the time when it’s used it’s not used properly or it’s just not happening, this is one of the very rare instances where that’s exactly what’s going on. Hannigram is queerbaiting by Bryan Fuller. Yet, for some reason, no one gets upset with this. Maybe because Bryan Fuller is a gay man himself and most of the fannibals are SJWs so they feel they can’t call him out on it. For whatever reason, though, they are willfully ignorant to the fact that Bryan Fuller cannot reverse engineer the narrative he already created to claim something was canon when it wasn’t.

This all started with the Dumbledore being gay thing. Once again, something that very well could have been included in the writing of the original Harry Potter books or added into the movies if that was the true narrative that JK Rowling had in mind. She created these things, she had control over them, and if it was that important to put into the canon in some way she could have done it. She never did. Both Rowling and Fuller’s retroactive application of a “gay” label on past characters or ships, is nothing more than a desperate attempt at virtue signaling for “woke points”. An attempt at appeasement to the angry minority that will make any writer’s life a living hell if they don’t get what they want.

Even worse, Bryan Fuller ships Hannigram himself. To a very high level. Since the beginning of the show, season one, he was tweeting erotic fan art of Hannibal and Will. Explicit erotic art. The more gruesome the better. The more sexual the better. he bragged several times about his “favorite” piece of fan art which is Hannibal eating Will’s cock and he tweeted the image several times as well. This started very early on and this has not slowed down. In this tweet you can see him voting on a poll to decide what erotic BDSM piece of art some fan artist will make next and celebrating that his vote got picked. His behavior as show creator and runner is and always has been abhorrent and gross objectification of Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen. It was passed on to the fannibals who continue to do it with his encouragement and on his behalf.

Bryan Fuller has also endorsed the RAW anthology which was just an excuse to make a “book” of erotic NSFW Hannigram fan art and fan fiction. He donated a gross amount of money to the Kickstarter for this to get it funded and get his copy and endorsed the hell out of it so it would make more money and he could actually get a copy. This is not the behavior someone from a show should be displaying, not only to his fans but to the public. If the show runner is behaving this way, and he damn well should know better, then how bad do you think his fans are? They are even worse. They think this behavior is acceptable. They think it’s okay to approach the stars of the show and discuss very explicit homoerotic art and stories with them. It’s obscene.

I’m not against people making pornographic fan art. At all. In fact, I think a lot of it is super well done and made by very talented people. I’m not against writing super erotic PWP fan fiction. That’s fine too. I encourage art in all of it’s forms and I don’t want it censored. However, I do think it should be kept away from the actors. Especially if we are considering that the two actors in this pairing are straight and married men with children. This should not be something that the fans shove in their faces as openly as they do, and even if that was okay, it’s not okay for their literal BOSS to do it to them.

Though Mads and Hugh do seem to be somewhat okay with it, it’s questionable to me why. Maybe they are, maybe they think it’s flattering, fair enough, but I also think that it hasn’t been fully explained to them. Things like how these people build literal shrines to their existence. The fact that them advocating this behavior has created people who literally stalk them. People who defend the ship so hard they send death threats to people who say it’s not canon. I don’t think they realize that they are fueling a fire that will soon get out of control, especially when the fannibals finally have their revelation that season four just isn’t going to happen.

At the end of the day, I am not against dark and toxic ships. I am not against gay or slash pairings, either canon or not, I’m not against erotic art and I’m not against erotic fan fiction. I am against trying to pull the actors from the show into the fantasy or downright delusions you have about them or their real life relationships. I am against mistreating actors because you are so obsessed with a non-canonical ship that you think it’s just okay to throw in their faces. Even worse, I’m against taking a very toxic and abusive ship and repeatedly justifying it as romantic and loving.

If you were to talk to one of these people, if only for a minute, you would see how incredibly brainwashed and devoted they are. They don’t see how the ship could possibly be abusive. They don’t get the ramifications of brainwashing, gaslighting, or what was done to Will Graham. They are honestly so deluded that they think what Hannibal was doing to Will in season one and two was “courting” and going on dates when in reality, he was just abusing Will. He denied him medical treatment for a serious illness he had, he was feeding Will human flesh secretly, and he was framing Will for murder while also trying to get him to commit murder. This was not dating or courting or anywhere near normal. This was abuse.

Part of me wonders if this is why Jennifer Cornet went so undetected, because the fandom already seems to think that what Hannibal did to Will was normal and true love, ergo, what Jennifer did to her victims must be the same? It’s exactly why this fandom’s ideology surrounding Hannigram is toxic and dangerous. It has led to actual people being victimized in real life. Whether it was used to scam unsuspecting people out of money or actually con naive girls into joining a sex cult, it has jumped from just the fandom into the real world.

This is something that should be kept on the internet, between friends, and in the fantasy world of fan art and fiction. It should be kept away from the actors, and it should not be promoted by not only the creator of the show, but several other professional staff members as well. It is something that shouldn’t be considered canon just because the fans really want it to be. This sort of thing leads to the abuse of real life people and makes the world far too toxic. The fact that no one even stops to consider how serious it is, was, has gotten, or will get, is the most disturbing thing to me of all.

@northernveil recc’ed by @radioxsilence for where you can always find me. “In a nutshell, the series asks how Will & Hannibal can possibly go forward together given the circumstances of their past and proposes they might use a very loose sort of puppy play as a framework. It is interesting, different, and very nicely written.”

@apoptoses recc’ed by @littlethingwithfeathers for These Amorous Rites. “This one is fresh indeed! A smoldering, delightful rare-pair published just last night! The overworked Dr. Struensee has a delightful and invigorating romp with the coquettish Earl of Essex.”

Murdergatsby recc’ed by @meduszoa for One Night. “But if you’re ready to get invested on a new WIP, you need to check murdergatsby’s fic for Le Chiffre (Casino Royale) x Buddy (Evening).”

@youandihavebeguntoblur recc’ed by @it-takes-two-to-catch-one for Death feels more like a memory. “The fic is written with deep and intense emotions, emphasizing with what the characters are going through; doubts, fear, guilt… love.”

@lovecrimemp3 recc’ed by @miasmatik for Low Lays the Devil. “It’s a high school AU set in the 90′s featuring sassy, grunge-phase Will and smug-as-ever/still-a-cannibal Hannibal. It’s also loosely based off the movie “Halloween” (!!!) so it’s got some great spooky elements to it too!”

@staticraining recc’ed by @rubybakeneko for Götterdämmerung. “It is full of gorgeous details and memorable lines, and it contains a gradual evolution of Will and Hannibal’s relationship that is both touching and realistic.”

The next Fresh Meat Friday will be on June 30th! Stay hungry!
