slashers x child!reader who likes to take apart their toys to make little inventions/new toys
*dies* I didn't add Billy and stu because I'm so tired and have no inspiration
Slashers x child! Reader who rips other toys to built new ones.
Michael
You probably got old dolls from a few decades ago from Judith's old toys she had when she was a child or his.
Michael didn't care that much that you were destroying the toys until he saw you either only ripped a limb or a head.
He then came and saw you with a toy he never saw before when he recognised some parts and realised you built a new toy out of different toys.
He'll admire it like how he'll admire his "art works" after killing someone. The more weirder and creepier the more he'll like it. although he'll like any kind of invention you make.
When you ran out of toys he broke in a toy shop once and got as many as he could and gave them to you.
You got a whole shelf of your little inventions and he stares at it whenever you're gone and he has nothing to do.
Sinclair brothers
They got you either old toys of theirs (I hv no idea if they had toys as children) or toys around the town.
Bo was like 'why??' when you took apart your toys parts but when he saw you building a new one he thought 'wait that's kinda cool actually' he thinks of it like repairing or building a car so when he actually is repairing a car he'd like it if you were also building something so that you can both look like father and daughter doing similar things. When you finished a piece and showed it to him he probably petted your head and said "good job", what he really wanted to say was 'oh my god, oh my god holy shit it's beautiful you built something in so proud of you'. Got one or two of yours as a gift to him and he keeps it extra safe.
Vincent was ecstatic when you showed him your new toy and told him your little hobby, now you both can make art! He could be painting or wax sculpturing and you could be building with him. He's so proud of you whenever you managed to fully make a toy he howls a bit in delight and gives you two thumbs up and he probably sketches your toys because he thinks they're so interesting. He'll be a bit sad when he sees his childhood toys broken though he thinks your new ones are totally worth it. He sometimes likes you watch you do your thing and helps you if you can't figure out what to make.
Lester was also whying when he saw you taking apart the toys, did you hate it that much? But he went wowing when he saw what you were actually doing and totally watches you make your new toys. He will say so many praises when you finish it, will talk about it to his brothers and bo acts annoyed but he secretly wants to hear all about it too. Wants to learn how to build too, it gets boring having nothing to do driving around all day you know. except when tourists are here but scratch that the twins will sometimes find you both together on Lester's trunk on a challenge to see who can build faster and better, its a tie everytime. Jonesy would be there to watch you two (everyone's watching) if you run out of toys then he'll bring you abandoned cheaper ones.
Hannibal
I think it all started when he brought you expensive nice ones and you took one look at it and then ripped it. He almost choked on air when he saw that.
"y/n.. Why did you do that if you didn't like it you could've just told me..."
When you told him about your intentions he replied with,
"I wish you could've told me that sooner, I could've brought cheaper ones." he pinches the bridge of his nose.
And he did. And he watches with great interest on how your little invention will turn out and smiles and praises you when you show him your art piece. Also like Michael he had shelf/shelves full of your works. Informs Will about this too this is how it goes.
_________________________________________
Will, Will look what y/n made.
Hannibal it's 2 am.
_________________________________________
He's a happy little cat when you talk to him about your toys and he's just glad he adopted you. Like Vincent you both can do your little art things.

Horror characters w/ a child in the school musical
Notes: In honor of my school's drama club being shut down and me having to go to my neighboring school. (You can tell I have favorites ;))
Includes: Otis Driftwood, Baby Firefly, Mama Firefly, Choptop Sawyer, Billy and Stu, Carrie White, Hannibal Lecter (and Will Graham), Beetlejuice, Micheal Myers (A bit RZ), The Lost Boys,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Otis Driftwood
The fact that you even have to go to school is a problem to him. With his whole "I hate rules" get up, did you really think he'd want you going to some crummy government public school? He literally hates everything about it..
But... it would be suspicious if you didn't go to school, considering some people in the neighboring town knew there was a kid in the house..
When you bring up wanting to be in your school's musical?
He's all for it, wether you're a little kid or a teenager, surprisingly.
I think he'd be into the idea since he himself is very artsy, he sees it as his kiddo trying to express themselves, and he's all for it.
Especially if you are also in charge of the set (My school's was five people so I always did set), he's so excited to see what you come up with, even if it boringly lacks and pain and suffering.
He won't clean up to come watch it, he will genuinely show up with his matty white hair under his oddly stained cowboy hat, his 'burn this flag' tank top, dirty boots.. he gets odd looks, no one sits next to him or the family, murmuring that they stink.
he's so proud.
"______, do you know who that guy in the front row who keeps grimacing is in the cowboy hat? He's scaring off our audience,"
"That's my dad :)"
Baby Firefly
Oh, she is EXCITED
As a performer herself, coughcoughthefloorshowcoughcough,
If this is a highschool show, she gets into alllll the drama. All the petty fights, tantrums, affairs going on, all the juicy shit that happens during musical season. Perfect person to bitch with about it.
She will come to every single one of the shows, she tells people to come constantly.
She'd have you practice in front of victims as an "audience,"
She is so thrilled, this is the funnest thing ever to her.
Gushes over the costumes
If you don't get a lead you really wanted, she is just as petty as you are about it.
Opening night, she'll give you a boquet of flowers she totally didn't steal before hand.
The best drama mama!
"She's such a bitch, who's she think she is, huh? You deserved that role much more than them, god what a whore."
"Tell me about it,"
Mama Firefly
Aw, she thinks its so dear.
It's been a long time since she had a little one in the home, she's excited to do things that actually make her feel like a mom again.
Supports you in any way you need, practice running late? She's packed you a sandwich and an extra water. Need help going over a scene? Well, she'll try her damn best!
I feel she'd be the type of mom to help make her kids costume if it fell on the kids shoulder
She is so excited to see it when it comes time, she drags R.J, Otis, and Baby (sorry Tiny) out of the home to go see it
She dresses up all nice and fights her way to the front row
She cheers loudly for you.
"Do we have to be here?" Otis grumbled, "Yes, this is your little sibling, now hush it's startin'"
Chop-Top Sawyer
Oh god it's a mess,
it's not that he's not excited, he's very excited his spitfire is into music just like him
but that's the problem, he's too excited.
It's not like he can just... come and watch-
He's not exactly normal, y'know.
Now this could go two different ways,
1. He doesn't go watch, but makes Drayton go and record it so he can watch it himself (if he cares enough by then)
2. He goes and causes a scene and you both just blame it on his Vietnam PTSD which gets you both a lot of sympathy points.
If he does get to go, he freaks a lot of people out. He wears his wig, assuming they replaced his Sonny Bono wig, but is constantly digging at his plate with his tongue just..sticking out. Plus he talks funny and stinks and- god people are trying to figure out who this loud creeper is and why he's here..
Then they see him at the end of the show...standing with you. Gossip spreads quickly..
Some who refuse to believe it, mistake Drayton as your father at the end of the show.
"Hello, I'm assuming your ______'s father? I wanted to tell you just how talented-" "Oh! Hey Mister Johnson, I see you've met my uncle Drayton," "Uncle?" "Yeah, this is my dad," "Oh...Uhm..." "Hi *heavy breathing*" "Forgive him, he's still adjusting from 'Nam."
Billy and Stu
They are both so incredibly normal about your interests
So I'm like conflicted cause one part of me wants to believe that they don't really care all that much but the other part of me that recognizes them as huge nerds is wielding a sword.
Shut up, Stu had a musical phase in middle school, FIGHT ME.
Stu is definitely more excited than Billy is
and it's not that Billy's not excited, Stu just shows it more than Billy.
100% flexible with your schedule, they take turns dropping you off and picking you up if you can't drive.
Stu uses it as an excuse to get out of stuff.
"Sorry, can't, gotta take chick-pea to practice tonight, yeah sooo sorry."
Billy is the type to get volunteered by you if big pieces of the set need done and no one else will do it.
He'll grumble, but it will be done.
Stu donates a lot of money towards the program, half in attempts to get the director to favorite you and give you parts you want.
Stu and Billy come to every show, all of them, without fail.
This is important to you, and you're important to them, so this is important to them.
Stu is so hype on opening night, giving you a pep-talk all day before you go to get ready.
They are so proud of you when the show is over, and will both help you out of that after show slumps.
"C'mon baby, what was the name of the lead your the understudy for?" "Kelly?" "No, Chick-pea, the name of the actor..." "Guys- no."
Carrie White
stop she's so proud of you,
even if you don't end up with a big part, she's so proud that you have the confidence to do something she would have never dared to of done when she was young.
She might even be involved? I could see her making costumes- I mean, she made her prom dress and that shit was stunning.
I think she'd be more partial to you doing activities such as music or band or some form of art over sports.
The arts are just a lot less dangerous than sports, she just wants you to be safe. But she also wants you to be happy.
She will come to every single show,
She'd be the mom to help you go over lines if you needed to as well, or offer to try and help practice a dance you needed to learn.
She definitely cries watching you up on stage,
will get you the prettiest flowers and tell all your co-stars that they did such a good job.
"Mama, can you help me with this scene? I just need you to read for Yente," "Of course honey, where do you want me to start?:)"
Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham,
First off, you go to a private school. No kin of Lecter's is going to be caught dead in a public school.
He is rather thrilled when you mention performing for the school, he does love the arts after all.
Whatever you want and or need, singing lessons, dancing lessons, acting classes, whatever you want.
He will dress up for the occasion, he brings Will as well who is way under dressed, but it's always nice to see him.
I don't think Hannibal would come to every show, sometimes his appointments run late, he has a lot to do, but he will come if you have a parents night and he will come see the opening show.
If anything, Will might try and make all of them if you two are close, he knows what it's like not to have a parent show up to something so important.
Hannibal would make food for a cast party if you had one after.
No there are no people in it.
Hannibal has DVD's of all of the shows you have ever done and whips them out ALL THE TIME... The first time Will even heard of you-
"Hannibal, what are all these DVD's? Why are they labeled '_____'?" "Hm? Oh. _______ is my child, those are their performance videos." "you have a kid-" "They do musical theater, sit down, we shall watch the films." "you have...a kid-"
Beetlejuice
He's actually so upset that he can't come watch your show physically.
It's okay- there's a recorded version for him. He'll feel less bad.
He LOVES performing so this is actually perfect, but of course it is! You're his little ghoul.
He actually already knows the whole show so he is very good at helping you practice.
"Aw- toots- you're almost as good as me. Almost."
Micheal Myers (Slight RZ)
Like most things, he's indifferent.
Good luck getting him to come see even one of your shows.
He shows interest in your little hobby when you talk about it, sit next to him and talk about the show as he makes his masks. He listens.
Now.. If he does come see a show? He will only see one, most likely the last one as they are less packed (less likely anyone will recognize him,)
He'll wear a medical mask, his hair mostly covering the rest of his face, he sits in the very back.
He's slightly warmed at just how much the act meant to you.
Your director will approach you after seeing you hug the very tall man with the long hair and covered face, as he just pat you haphazardly on the head before leaving.
"______, someone you know?" "uh huh, that's my dad." "Your dad.. huh.. he seems very quiet." "Yeah, he don't say very much. I didn't think he was gonna come." "Well, I'm glad he did." "yeah, me too."
The Lost Boys
obviously, if you're going to school, you're a human still.
The only way they could come see your show would be if it was late in the evening, and they would probably show up late.
They're very happy for you and want to support you! It's just difficult with them being vampires.
Paul and Marko definitely get a kick out of acting out scenes from your script with you.
Dwayne is interested in the storyline, he also enjoys watching you act. You're in your element, it's like you're a different person.
David, on the other hand, is just amused that you're into all this stuff. It's not that he thinks its dumb or anything, he thinks you do a great job, it's just not really his scene, y'know.
But, you're their baby bat, they'd literally do anything for you, so as you're up on stage during the third song and see a blur of leather jackets and mullets sitting in the back, you can't help but smile.
"God- why are the guys from the board walk here." "They're my family :)" 'HUH-"

Man I love other authors getting curious and immediately almost immediately recoiling. How was Haunting Adeline pookie honestly. Rant to me.
How can I rant to you when you're anonymous bestie 😭😭
So I just watched the review of the book and holy shit????? Is that supposed to be a porn for women???? Because????? That's like???? A literal porn for men????? Huh??????
Girl, I grew up with Agatha Christie's books and oh my god. Nothing ever came close to her dark romance, like, have you even read five little pigs?? Peril at end house??? The hollow?? Sleeping murder??? Death on the nile???? But somehow, that author dares call her stories a dark romance????
I feel like dark romance is way better outside its genre, like thriller or horror, or even drama. And IF they still wanna write a dark romance, why not make it deep like IWTV or Hannibal?? Or maybe the devotion of suspect X??? Where's the guilt?? Where's the inhuman obsession??
But ngl, my biggest pet peeve with those stories are like, the characters are so shallow. The men only want pussy, and the women are somehow so naive, she can't possibly survive in this era 😭 also, what's up with the violence that smells suspiciously misogynistic??? AND I CAN'T EVEN WHEN THE MAN HELD A ROSE BETWEEN HIS TEETH WHILE KILLING A DUDE. LIKE???? 😭😭😭😭😭😭 That's what you called charming??????? Huh????????
Yeah, I'm retreating back to my shell. Goodbye world.

Okay, as long as I'm on this MCU Loki kick, I'm gonna share this Pacific Rim AU that's been floating around in my head. (Everyone is human here, btw.)
Loki and Thor were Jaeger pilots. For all they argued, they could still pilot a Jaeger together since they grew up doing all kinds of things together, and Loki was accustomed to adjusting to whatever Thor was doing. (Though, not so much the other way around, unfortunately.)
Their Jaeger was definitely more suited to Thor's strengths than Loki's, but Loki did his best to go along with it. They weren't like, bad or anything, but Thor still wasn't Loki's optimal partner, and Loki would have really done better in a different Jaeger.
Cue a big family fallout where Loki realizes he was """adopted""" under highly suspicious circumstances. This is basically the straw that breaks the camel's back and unleashes all the shit Loki's been repressing. He gets so fucking pissed that he walks out and disappears from the map for awhile.
Thor is of course upset that his brother has gone off to God knows where, and he's also really bummed out that he can't go smashing kaiju skulls anymore.
(Also I'm not gonna try to adapt the stuff with Thanos and the Chitauri army because there's no real equivalent to that in Pacific Rim. Like sure there's the kaiju and the Precursors, but the Precursors are very much not Thanos, and they don't need anybody to lead the kaiju into battle. The Black does not count, because it was not made by Guillermo del Toro or Travis Beacham.)
One day this guy Steve Rogers rolls into the Jaeger program. Steve isn't new; he was actually a Mark-1 pilot before, but he lost his partner pretty early on and dropped out.
And then, SURPRISE! Turns out Loki's never been far away at all; he's just working with some dude in the kaiju black market. (Doesn't have to be Hannibal Chau. Could be, but it doesn't have to be.) Dude sees Steve Rogers coming back and rolls up with heart eyes because Loki can suss out a drift compatible person from a thousand yards away (Loki: "What, like it's hard?"), and also. Steve's ass.
Steve, for his part, cannot believe he and Loki are drift compatible. No way. Like what the hell, Loki, you're a knife-throwing guy, and an absolute menace with a hanbo stick, my Jaeger was built with attack shields.
And Loki puts on The Eyes (OuO) and explains to Steve that he's quite adaptable, really and he can go along with whatever Steve's doing. And Steve's like "What's with that accent, aren't you from Minnesota?" and Loki's like "I'm from many places, darling." (Acute Theater Kid Disease, it's incurable.)
And meanwhile, Thor is like "Loki, pleeeeeaase come back and pilot our Jaeger" and Loki's like "pfffft no Thor you're dead to me."
And the marshal is like "for fuck's sake" and tries to pair Steve and Thor. But it turns out that Steve and Thor cannot hold a drift together because their fighting styles are just too different, and neither one of them can really adjust.
But fiiiiiiiinally things get Real Desperate and Steve's like "FINE I'll get in a Jaeger with you" and Loki's like "YIPPIE!!!!" and they get into a Jaeger and to Steve's surprise, Loki is actually a perfectly good partner. Oh sure he's occasionally thinking ~thoughts~ about Steve's delectable bodiliness, but something you learn at the Kodiak Academy is that you're gonna see some shit in your partner's head, and Thought Crimes Don't Real. (And Loki, for his part, really does try to avoid fixating on these thoughts in the Drift. He's a bastard, but he's not a fucking bastard.)
Loki really puts in an effort to match Steve's fighting style, and he's actually better with Steve than Thor, because Steve's fighting style is actually a little closer to Loki's than Thor's is.
Thor is of course all bummed because he wants to FIGHT KAIJU (so so so so so so much unburned ADHD energy here, folks), but not all is lost! The marshal is currently eyeing a gal in k-sci by the name of Jane Foster. Thor for his part is A Little Skeptical, but the marshal is pretty damn sure it will work. (He is Right. Never underestimate the rage of a scientist working under steadily diminishing funds.)
What happens next? I don't have anything specifically decided. Maybe Bucky returns and there's some Soap Opera Drama set off as Steve is torn between his current drift partner and his old drift partner, or maybe Bucky's like "oh well okay" and goes on to co-pilot with Sam Wilson. (Actually, I think I like the idea of Bucky with Sam better than the idea of Bucky with Steve.)
So yeah, that's about it. This scenario has been sitting around in my head for awhile and now that the Loki Fixation has been reawakened I figured I'd share it, lol.

Can you talk a bit about your introduction to the Hannibal Lecter tetralogy? Did you see any of the movies first or did you read the books and then watch the films? What drew you to the series initially?
Absolutely!
I was really really into Demme's Silence Of The Lambs as a preteen in the era where you could just turn on the TV and the same 20 movies would be playing on cable —it’s interesting to look back on those really naive viewings where I wasn’t really aware of the world enough to grasp the film’s themes around misogyny (or the turbo-problematic elements, never mind the literal edited-for-TV censorship) and also not really astute enough to grasp why Hannibal Lecter was supposed to be a frightening presence. Hopkins’ Hannibal is having so much fun in that movie and when you can’t really detect the layers of irony and cruelty at play it’s a really different film. (The big thing in hindsight that's strange is that I perceived the museum bug guys as much more threatening figures — and they certainly do represent an ambivalent part of Clarice’s experience moving through the world as a woman, including being flirted with when you're trying to investigate an active serial killer but Foster plays Clarice's responses to them very differently to me now. I also just took it as a given that Clarice and Ardelia were girlfriends, not in a “I ship it” way but where I didn’t understand how it would be intended otherwise. I do ship it now as an adult, ofc #clardeliahive.) Something about Hannibal's combination of prickly sparring and weird courtliness was a blast for me even at that young (and dumb) age. I watched the film Hannibal later, probably on one of the zillion illicit movie streaming sites that used to exist and only let you watch 45 minutes of video a day, pretty miffed at the actor change but enjoying the weird villain/heroine loyalty kink soooo much… cannot remember, for the life of me, when I picked up the film adaptation of Red Dragon but there's a nonzero chance it was because of a gifset of that stabbing scene back in, ugh, oh god, 2012? Still an absolutely delightful dynamic, ponytail and all. I'm meh on it as an adaptation of the novel RD now (the novel's grim ambivalent ending makes people so uncomfortable that it seems to be nerfed in every adaptation) but it really blew my little mind.
I was dubious of the NBC series when it was announced (as a big Clarice boi), then watched s1 and enjoyed it, then got as far in s2 as Beverly getting sliced up and bailed. I didn’t finish the series until some time last year, but I'm glad I came back when I did, having boned up on the books in the meantime. Some of my frustrations remain (short version, I do think the show’s writing has a sexism problem, and I'm never as enamored with Hannibal as the writing seems to be) but it’s still so compelling to me and it’s one of those things I can turn over and examine from a million angles. Also it is stacked with hotties from start to finish, and it introduced me to the finest wettest Will Graham. Brain chemistry-changing shit.
Books-wise, I think I read Hannibal Rising first, which is probably not the way people should engage with those books — I still think that book and its film adaptation have a lot of fun stuff going on with them, it’s just not necessarily… necessary. The rest of the books only came along for me after my most recent revival of interest in the NBC series. (Which… came about after I went completely off my shit about Primal Fear and joking with a buddy about Aaron Stampler's summer internship in Italy got me rewatching the 2002 Red Dragon film for the first time since college.) I think I was scared away by the way people talked about the book Hannibal, but it ended up being my second favorite of all four, it’s gonzo and turns up the Grand Guignol nastiness to 11 but it’s also terribly fun.
I was a latecomer to Manhunter also for similar reasons — people loved to call that movie cheesy or act like it was some strange early effort superceded by the obviously superior adaptation of a different book — but simply as cinema I think it’s the finest of all the film adaptations, and Demme's SOTL owes it a massive debt. Mann gives Dolarhyde a tragedy and a dignity that no adaptation is willing to give to Jame Gumb and I’m sore about that but also. Tom Noonan’s double-l Dollarhyde being the only blond Francis on film is so funny, and I love Will Graham's tiny purple shorts. I miss the things it cuts/changes, especially with the friction within Molly’s marriage and the location specificity of the book, but it also has such a wonderful encapsulation of what’s at the core of both Will and Clarice to me — you can’t save all of them, but you still have to try to save as many as you can. Brian Cox's Hannibal is his own beast, and really compelling.
The CBS Clarice procedural is such a fun idea but it gets so tangled up in rights issues and the CBS procedural-ness of it all that it really impedes things. Some of what it adds is brilliant imo (I love the character of Julia, a married trans lesbian in the 1990s corporate world who makes tough choices and brings a fun element of the novels’ boring RL forensics to the fore as well as exploring the in-universe consequences that Clarice's explosively well-televised confrontation with Gumb has for innocent people who have nothing else in common with a skin-stealing serial killer than being queer and societally despised) but other choices it makes are totally inexplicable. (Several questionable choices made wrt Catherine Martin, and also what the fuck are they doing with PAUL KRENDLER… it felt like a Mindhunter rehash, very much pejorative.) Other elements suffer from the absences dictated by the rights issues involved — not just no Hannibal Lecter but no Jack Crawford, no mention of Will Graham as the maimed and miserable failure-state for what Clarice is risking, no nothin'. I miss Jack! Also they just cannot commit to it being a full on 1990s period piece, which is a crying shame. If it were on another network, or made by a different team, it could have been really great, but it’s ultimately a frustrating watch for totally different reasons than NBC Hannibal is a frustrating watch.
I also listened to the musical parody of Silence Of The Lambs a lot in college and it's still major earworm material ten years later. I'm just trying to mind my own business and blammo, it's If I Could Smell Her Cunt on mental loop.

I’m obsessed with la douleur exquise, and I just have to ask what gave you the idea to write it? Did it just pop into your head one day? Dud someone say something? Were you watching/reading something?
It’s genuinely so good, and you write it so well.
You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want, but I wanted to tell you again how much I love your story.
💜🕸️
first of all, holy shit, never gotten an ask about one of my stories before, so i am jumping off the walls rn, oh my god!!
here is the link to the fic.
secondly, thank you so, so, SO much! like, seriously this means so much to me that you like my story so much. it's been such a struggle to write. i've been working on it since october, but there was a period of about 4 months where i didnt touch it at all. i still have some of it left to complete, and i even wrote for it earlier today. i'm almost finished with the last chapter.
but, to actually answer your questions, i only just started watching Hannibal in july and finished the entire series in august. i then became completely hyperfixated on it. like, i have not had a new hyperfixation like this since 2019. it completely took over my life, and all i could was think about them.
so i think it was around this time that i started to get ideas for la douleur exquise. at first, it was just little scenes and scenarios that mainly involved Will going full feral. somehow, the setting became the bshci, and the feral Will scene was born. i remember when i got the idea to have the red lighting while Will was on a killing spree. all of those visuals were heavily inspired by songs by Apashe and 1nonly.
i actually played around with a lot of different ideas for it. originally, all of the patients were going to fight each other to the death, and Will was going to pose the bodies like the Ripper to tell the story of his love for the Ripper. i had some ideas of how Will would use the bshci kitchen for his kills. he also would've been the last one alive. but that was way too much work because i'd want to do a lot more detail with each kill and each corpse arrangement that i just did not have the patience for with this story.
i had no plans to write this as an actual story until i wrote Will's love confession to Hannibal (which actually isn't posted quite yet). i wrote it on my phone on a blank google doc when i was high and then reread it when i was sober and knew i had to write the fic. so, i crafted a narrative that allowed Will to go completely unhinged so i could have that one feral Will scene (i actually had the fic title "will on a killing spree as a treat" for the longest time). and that's usually how a lot of my fics are written; i'll get one scene or idea and then go from there.

oh my god this fucking show.
*slaps roof of coffin* We can fit so many kinds of emotional ruin in this baby! I do not think I have seen a show tear down everything it built like this since Hannibal's S2 finale. But it's not tragic in the same way. This is the gleeful destruction of a kid building elaborate structures out of blocks so they can knock them over.
God, Jacob's acting has been so fucking good this season but this episode was just. Armand sitting there in the crypt listening to Louis go mad with grief and starvation. The absolute mindless ferity when he's planning his revenge, and how much vicarious satisfaction you get from hearing the screaming as the flames ignite.
(I watched a little bit of the bts after the episode and Ben Daniels is so fucking delighted to get his prop head chopped off. The glee in his voice when Jacob sends him that pic is the cutest shit.)
Daniel is such an interesting homewrecker. That bit in ep 5 where he has to go back to his own book to retrieve his previous words. I think he would have fucked up his life even without Louis's admonition/command/whatever. But there's always that little bit of doubt and I think it would have haunted him if he'd remained mortal.
And it's fascinating to see him poke and prod even after he's gotten the story from both Louis and Armand. All those inconsistencies that seemed inconsequential but then lead to something significant. I wouldn't even call it misdirection, just using new information to interrogate the text from the correct perspective (har har). And you can see the trepidation when he pulls out the script, knowing what's going to happen, but it's not just his job to excavate the truth, it's his calling. All characters have a bit of a writer (or writing team) in them, but Daniel feels invested with a lot of affection from people who understand his line of work.
Armand. Oh god, Armand. This show is neo-puritan kryptonite in the best way. The narrative never excuses Armand's actions, heinous as they are, but it also makes it difficult to villainize him for it. He is so, so fucked up and broken it's more sad than anything else. (I don't think it even gets to the level of tragic, because tragedy is too dignified for his motivations. I mean this descriptively, not pejoratively.)
Louis and Lestat making up in a rickety-ass old house in New Orleans during a hurricane is not exactly light symbolism, but it is extra af in a way that is very them.
Random things:
How long has Lestat been plunking at that wooden "keyboard"? Those finger marks are deep.
"Did you hurt yourself?" 😭😭😭
Louis's goofy-ass tourist outfit with the Saints ballcap lmao
I want to know the circumstances of Daniel's vamping. He just blew up Armand's entire life. Was it retaliatory? Armand has never made a fledgling until now. I am so curious to see why now. (Also he's gonna fuck that old man and I'm so happy for them both.)
Absolutely the first thing I would do if I became a vampire is change my eye color, just because.

"stop voting for gabriel gabriel is Not cool he’s a dork" tbf, my definition of "cool" has never seemed to align with what others consider "cool". my definition of "cool" usually requires some level of autism around dinosaurs and/or animals in general (GODS I love weird animal trivia and Jurassic Park did something to my brain chemistry my dad taking small child me to see it in theaters was a Mistake) which none of the archangels seem to display much of. the closest is Gabe with the little dog in his first ep.
(Jurassic Park example, actually. Alan Grant is the coolest mf in that movie and I'm p sure it's supposed to be Malcolm.) "look at how that dude dresses! how he acts! so cool!" "fascinating, but what is his favorite Star Trek series." I'm too autistic to understand whatever constitutes "cool" conventionally I guess. Hannibal is fine I like him but Will, with his dog obsession and deep desire to be Left The Fuck Alone, and then becoming unhinged over the series? very cool of him.
"this angel is a tyrant in favor of the apocalypse" deeply uncool. "this angel is a hedonistic coward that likes to victimize abusers" well, the bar is pretty low… (which isn't to say I think that deeply uncool (imo) character trait makes them a bad character in general, I just can't associate them with "cool-ness".)
oh but also? "any excuse to think about lucifer being a slut #literally let me run a train on him until he’s mindbroken. that would fix him." ur right ur so right and it's very sexy of u to say.
(godfather voice) You come into my house, on the day my daughter's to be married, and you ask me to accept not only raphael slander, but ian malcolm slander??? HANNIBAL SLANDER??????????
no, no, it's fine. i see all these guys as pretty equally weird and autistic. i mean, ian malcolm is described as a rockstar of a mathematician for a reason, this is his Thing, you know? he thinks flirting via explaining his mathematical theory is hot. i'm really not sure you could claim he's not fascinated by the dinosaurs, given that they're his vehicle to prove his theory correct, that he's the one in the book who takes note of their population growth and figures out that the park is going to get out of human control very quickly. (as far as I remember, it's been a few years since i revisited it.) sorry wait this isn't ian malcolm defense squad time. and we don't have time to get into hannibal lmao.
BUT. i will not be accepting raphael slander ever forever. incorrect. they lay out their reasoning for the apocalypse very clearly in 5x03, how they have watched every monstrous thing that has occurred in human history and only been able to come to the conclusion that god has to be dead, because otherwise he couldn't have allowed it to happen. the apocalypse is a promised escape from pain. and then, of course, castiel's resurrection in the s5 finale alongside the apocalypse being cancelled tells them only one thing: that god is alive and he just. let all that shit happen. let it happen to the world, let it happen to raphael. now, gabriel is dead, michael and lucifer are in the cage, god is still mia, and castiel. it doesn't actually matter what castiel believes because he's become the face of all of that. it's an impossible position to be in, and archangels are, as a rule, not very good at changing course. raphael is alone, and raphael has decided to self-destruct. i just wish the writers actually gave a shit about them so they could have leaned into what is one of the coolest arcs of disillusionment with god and grasping at any measure of control when the one stable thing you've based your whole life on has been yanked out from under you.
and gabriel is deeply uncool. that's the point! he's not a hero of the people, taking out evildoers in funny ways. he's a deeply petty, incredibly self-serving asshole who still carries the belief that, as an archangel, he gets to decide what's right and wrong, who lives and who dies, and how much pain he gets to cause them before they do. he's all for the apocalypse until it starts messing with his things. his eventual stand against lucifer isn't righteous, it's a dozen insults lashing out as his older brother, trying to hurt him as much as he possibly can because lucifer hurt gabriel first. and he dies because he is still too much like lucifer. he's still playing the same tricks lucifer taught him to. cause what's the apocalypse but a much larger version of gabriel's game, right? one angel who decided humanity as a whole was rotten and needed to be wiped out against another angel who has spent the past few centuries taking out his issues on whatever jerk crosses his path. like, really, the difference is that lucifer is out to get Results. gabriel likes fucking with people, but he doesn't want the status quo to change because that would mean no more people to fuck with.
first and foremost, gabriel is a dickhead whose shots sometimes hit their mark. i love him so much, he's so awful.

Hannibal Crack-Cannons: aka Incorrect Quotes:
Tumblr media
@myers-meadow-selfship @iloveslasher @the-limp-linguine
Hannibal:
Despite what you think, Hannibal IS a himbo…
Now hear me out. He’s obviously very educated, but when it comes to being a person he is CLUELESS.
Like Hannibal never expects someone to actually get close to him, and when they do, he panics. And he makes a bunch of clumsy little social mistakes, that frankly, are adorable.
He’s a friendship himbo and I stand by that!
S/O: *touches Hannibal’s hand in public, unprovoked*
Hannibal who is not used to genuine affection: *staring at them* why?
S/O: *facepalming*
William:
But if we wanna talk real Himbos….
Cause bro! Wtf are you doing? Homeboy is a MESS.
The only thought in Will’s head is that tik tok audio that’s like “I don’t know what’s going on, and frankly, I don’t wanna know” and he likes it like that.
Will on his 4th cup of coffee of the day: *pushes a door that CLEARLY says pull*
S/O: For your sake, I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that *holds open door for him, smiling at how adorable he is when he gets flustered*
Jack:
This man is a FREAK!
Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t think he’s into a lot of kinky shit in the bedroom. Man is a respectful switch!
Will: *seeing his boss by rope and duct tape at the corner store*
Jack: it’s not what it looks like-
Alana:
BI WIFE ENERGY, SHE HAS BI WIFE ENERGY!
I think Alana is also a switch, don’t know when this became a NSFW post but we’re rolling with it 🤪
But I totally see her letting men be dominate cause she doesn’t want to hurt their fragile little egos. But with a woman, oh boy! Alana cannot keep her hands to herself, and she doesn’t pretend to want to.
This woman is a flirt by nature. She will Gaslight, Gatekeeper and Girlboss her way into your heart. She’s a smooth motherfucker and you’ll never see her coming… I mean… unless you want to 👀 then by all means 😉
She totally humble brags about you latter.
Beverly:
A Roxy kinnie, prove me wrong!
Tumblr media
That’s it, that’s the whole headcannon. If you know, you know!
Abigail:
Abigail is just Violet Harmon in a different universe, and thank god she never met her Tate. Oh dear god, what a night mare that would be!
Abigail with S/O:
youtube
Frederick:
There’s not even a headcannon here, just like, imagine if Fred was played by this motherfucker…
Tumblr media
Instead of this motherfucker…
Tumblr media
Also have this video of Fred’s actor being iconic, this is just Frederick when he’s alone 😂.
So I guess the headcannon is that Frederick is a musical theatre kid confirmed!
Belinda:
Wine Mom confirmed!
Tumblr media
Freddie:
As we fucking should!
Tumblr media
Mason:
This is just a shameless way for me to promote one of my old videos. I was proud of this meme and more people should see it!
Brian:
Drinks respect boyfriend juice!
But I also hope you like being a third wheel on dates, cause where Brian goes, Jimmy will be there. Good thing they’re both cute 😉
Jimmy:
Jimbo texting his S/O:
Tumblr media
And anyone who gets a glimpse at these text is instantly terrified and convinced you’re both doing some sort of seance through the phone. But it’s just you’re average Tuesday.
Margo Verger as a lesbian icon:

OK NOW THAT YOUVE OFFICIALLY FINISHED HANNIBAL I CAN TELL YOU MY MASON VERGER STORY. OH MY GOD. so . back when i first watched hannibal i was liveblogging my experience over discord chats with aster since shes the one who recommended it to me . ok. and this was myyyy senior year of college so i was ENTRENCHED in marine biology type courses ok. i specifically had a class on aquarium exhibit design and i was going a little bit insane abt it because my professor sucked. anyway. i an rambling. so i see mason vergers motherfucking eel tank and i go NUTS about it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THAT THING IS SO GODDAMN EMPTY. EELS NEED SHIT TO HIDE IN AND HE IS KEEPING THEM IN THE AQUARIUM EQUIVALENT OF A CEMENT BRICK. oh it made me so mad. notice the timestamp too this was like. near-midnight sleep deprived madness. theres like a whole rant about enrichment along with this that im not including bc it spanned the course of like 3 hours.
AND THEN . HE FUCKING GOT EATEN BY THE EELS. AND I FELT THE STRONGEST DAMN SENSE OF RETRIBUTION EVER SPECIFICALLT BECAUSE ONE OF THE EELS GOES INTO HIS MOUTH. I WAS LIKE . THATS WHAT YOU GET BITCH. you become the hide hole for them now.

OH MY GOD. MAC THAT IS HILARIOUS. OF COURSE U WOULD GO INSANE OVER AN EEL TANK THIS IS SO MAC CORE!!! i may not be a marine biologist but i knew those little guys were not being kept in a proper tank and it was killing me and i also felt sooooo fucking happy over his death like FUCK YES.

Do you think there's a connection between the 80s and 90s comics mostly only mentioning him offhand without actual appearances and modern comics like Twojar or One Bad Day making him more violent and increasingly taking away his gimmick ? Because I feel like it's two different approaches to the same idea of wanting to have a villain whose thing is being 'smart' on hold in case they want a story where Batman shows off his mental capabilities but not wanting to deal with everything else that comes with the character like the goofyness or having to come up with riddles that don't suck
oh man okay this is such an interesting question and I'm so excited to be able to revisit it when my reread gets into the 2000s and have more perspective to offer
for the time being I do think that it's fair to say that making the Riddler a central antagonist in a story is challenging because he has, like, a relatively narrow gimmick compared to a lot of other rogues and having to actually come up with riddles is a tall order that a lot of writers simply don't want to fuck with.
personally I think the best way to embrace this is to just acknowledge that the riddles are going to be balls to the wall stupid and let the audience understand that Batman is equally unhinged for being able to solve them at all. Batman '66 is frankly great at this, best exemplified in this scene from the movie that no other Batman adaptation has topped yet:
youtube
what are any of you talking about! you sound crazy! they are right though, and that's what living in Gotham does to a motherfucker.
for the record I think Batman Forever also actually does this really well without being quite as unhinged. the riddles are actually pretty solid and straightforward; Bruce solves them easily but the real challenge is in putting them together at the end to figure out who's actually behind everything. (it's Jim Carrey, serving cunt.) it's maybe the only part of the movie that actually shows any restraint at all, and I respect that.
the thing is that this approach kind of falls apart if you want to do a more grounded take on Batman that presents the Riddler as the legitimate threat despite being a man who on purpose calls himself the Riddler. I dog on Batman 2022 a lot but at least there you can (charitably) read Paul Dano's shitty little puzzles as being intentionally messy owing to the fact that his Riddler is, you know, a sopping wet miserable catholic redditor who's really just trying to kiss Batman. I do genuinely like that his master plan is incoherent enough that Bruce doesn't crack all of it and misses vital pieces, it's a nice spin on an inexperienced Batman + the complexity addiction that Riddler schemes are so known for.
and like, to be clear, I do still think that Riddler sucks, but other attempts to make him a serious antagonist are so much worse. you mentioned War of Jokes and Riddles and One Bad Day, the latter of which I do think is just. appallingly misguided on literally every imaginable front and betrays an embarrassing lack of understanding of what people actually like and find entertaining about the character in favor of scrubbing him down to a bog standard Hannibal Lecter-flavored evil genius serial killer manipulator.
which is a fine stock character, where would comic books be without easily recognizable bad guy archetypes, etc, but god, not the Riddler. where the fuck is the fun in that? he's just a silly little guy in a leotard. please, stop trying to make this guy scary.
Tumblr media
for god's sake. he's just a baby.
anyway I get why it happens though and it's Marketing, and I think specifically the very online and instantaneous nature of fandom in the 21st century. detective comics comics needs people reading their comics and, maybe even more importantly, talking about their comics, and that means leaning really heavily on well-established characters the people give a shit about. most readers are going to be more interested, even passively, in the Riddler than Random Smart Guy Murderer #623, because he's been around for a long time and he's a very ingrained part of the lore.
but everything has to be a fucking event with high stakes now, again because attention is currency, so it can never just be, like, "oh no, the Riddler has Batman trapped in a giant hamster maze," it's the Riddler and the Joker beefing and also the Riddler murdering Kite-Man's son for ??? reasons ??? idk man look how fucked up he is! this guy's serious! he has a question mark scar on his chest! please take him seriously!
and also, back to the first point, it's frankly just easier to write a generic egomaniac smart guy than it is to come up with riddles that are even a little bit good or interesting enough to carry an entire plot. I bet Tom King really thought he was doing something when he settled down to write One Bad Day and decided that the riddles were actually just a fucking power inhibitor the Riddler was putting in place to stop his massive brainmeat from killing everybody he came in contact with, but I think it's actually the sign of Tom King being a lil punk bitch, actually. just admit you don't have the sauce to come up with a riddle and pass the gig onto someone else!
anyway this is why most of my favorite Riddler appearances have him in a supporting role rather than serving as a primary antagonist (think Batman: Unburied, King Tut's Tomb, the Long Halloween/Dark Victory/When In Rome triptych), and his best antagonist appearances have him working with WAY lower stakes that's mostly just trying to get Bruce to pay attention to him (Vol. 2 of the Batman Adventures and Strange Love Adventures 2022).
tl;dr stop trying to make me take this man seriously

This isn’t really an ask, more of a reader/fan word-vomit (fair warning!). I wanted to tell you how much I love your writing and I’m devouring everything!
Your strange and unusual AUs are right up my alley. At times I don’t have the foggiest what’s going on, but I’m invested and immersed and enjoying the rides (which is how I approached Twin Peaks, so, appropriate). I’m loving Stop The World & Melt With You - the whole pineapple bit had me in hysterics and gave me serious Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy vibes (meant as a huge compliment). And Death Becomes Us has destroyed my long-standing ambivalence towards vampire stories (I OD-ed in my youth) and I’m completely invested. Plus I loooooove how Bob is back, it’s made me realise how little I’ve seen of him in fics and I don’t know why that is. And Eric Draven is my vampire bartender. And my Lorelei is gonna be either Freddie Lounds from Hannibal or Gina Davis in Cutthroat Island, hope that’s OK 😆
Gargoyle Eddie and Dark Siren Eddie are doing things to me that I didn’t realise were possible, so thanks (?) for that.
Plus, everything about I’m On Fire is just 👌👌❤️❤️🔥🔥. I adore how lots of the subcharacters their own nemeses/subplots, I’ve not seen that before, and I need to know what happens. Plus ‘Walk’ was a genius music choice. And the smut is divine, but, frankly, all of yours is.
And just because I’m on tenterhooks and it’s a sort-of an ask, which somehow makes this entire message halfway-legit, is there any news on when any of your series’ next parts might appear, and/or which one it might be? I’m in no rush for IOF of course I am, we all are, dear god we’re all feral but am absolutely not pushing, because in the meantime I can always keep myself busy rereading that ‘office administration scene’, and watching Season 3 of The Witcher for thigh inspiration… ☺️
Anyway, that’s all I really wanted to say, because if I add any more it’ll get embarrassingly gushy. If it isn’t already. It already is, isn’t it? shit 😬
Okay, bye 👋
*bows out ungracefully backwards, leaving this on the floor as a somewhat pathetic and inadequate offering*

CATT let me tell you about my verbal affirmation love language and my praise kink 🥹 I hope you don't mind having a stalker because flattery will get you anything from me. Honestly, I've read this 8 times and it made my whole WEEK (not even kidding). I'm keeping this for days when I think everything I do is hot garbage.
Because you asked, LET ME TELL YOU what is next on my nonexistent agenda: Part 6 of Death Becomes Us, another installment of the Nightmare Factory (I'm thinking maybe Haunted House Eddie?), and I want to get the next chapter of I'm on Fire out because we are so close to the "end" and there's so much going on, it's going to keep me up at night to not have a resolution. It will also be time to celebrate when I finish IOF because it was the first fanfic series I ever posted here😭
Oh Eric Draven is such a good choice for a vampire bartender at Sacrament! And I can't believe you mentioned Gina Davis from Cutthroat Island omggggg core memory unlocked.
I'm even more in love with you because you read my little Twilight Zone au 🥹 But again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to reach out. Encouragement and messages like this inspire me to keep going, and you just filled up my tank 🥹

I am actively having more of a reaction than I did to the crowley and aziraphale kiss photo leak. This whole time I've been like are they gonna kiss are they gonna say I love you if they don't that's so them if they do how will it be done and I swear to god and Jesus Christ god almighty HOLY HELL THIS IS INSANELY GOOD DWHHDWGDYWDGY.
you. are. my. season. 4.
this is how it should be done. When they were doing their fight foreplay I was like holy shit it'd be so cool if they kissed and I didn't expect them to actually kiss when I tell you I had to set my computer down and scream into my pillow and then stim for like 4 minutes I am not exaggerating this goes crazy. AND THEN WE GOT THE
"look at me, please"
"I love you"
"I love you"
and top will also and the way you write them having sex is so perfect I had no idea if I was gonna get smut or not (I didnt bother to read all the tags bc it was a rec) and the way you write it is perfect how do you get them so well like are you secretly a joint account run by Baltimores favorite murder husbands because this is just to good
Oh my god, literally the sweetest thing to compare me in any way to Neil Gaiman's work. He's been an influence on me for sure (wrote a very long Hannibal/American Gods crossover back in the day) and making that comparison made my whole MONTH.
I also don't write smut almost ever but it just fit here, they haven't been able to touch each other in months, either sex wise or biting wise or both, as in the fic. I just think they're neat. And my favorite genre of Hannigram fic is one of them being jealous and killing for the other. Hits every single time, that's my personal niche to write in, and I wrote a BACK CATALOGUE of them while I was avoiding college life. They're my favorite little guys.
Your words are so sweet!

🧍‍♀️hand over ur oc lore 🤲 (they do not have a hand sticking out emoji)
OH GOD IVE DUG MY OWN GRAVE OH SH—
okay so i have way too many ocs and most of them are just scattered around my brain like little marbles with barely any lore actually written out for them but. i’ll talk about elijah and prophet because they’re the ones that have been rotating in my mind recently.
so, elijah nolastname is 20-something years old and very depressed coming out of an extremely toxic relationship. mans gay as hell and also a huge wreck. at some point he gets approached by a Very Pretty Man (long red hair, green eyes, has a tattoo on his right hand). the pretty man kind of just invited himself to the coffee table that elijah is moping at and introduces himself as Prophet.
which, you know. red flag. if anyone comes up to you and introduces themselves as just “prophet,” you should probably back away slowly. but! elijah is too busy being homosexual and red is his favorite color anyway. they talk, prophet makes elijah laugh for the first time in months, and everything ends with them exchanging numbers.
after a while, they start dating. and that’s when shit starts getting weird! prophet reveals that, surprise surprise, he’s the leader of a cult religion. their goal is to summon back the “true god,” that has been trapped in a realm above heaven by the current, “false god” that everybody worships. this information is very slowly revealed to elijah bit by bit, and at the end he ends up so gaslit by everything that he actually starts believing in it.
elijah gets introduced to the definitely not a cult cult. he works with them, time passes, and prophet suddenly announces that they’re ready to finally release the true god from its shackles, and that elijah shall be the vessel for it to communicate until it becomes strong enough to leave his body. the ritual goes on with even elijah, who has been pretty indoctrinated into the whole thing, having second thoughts. and then prophet suddenly pulls out a dagger and slashes him open. you know. as you do.
something enters elijah’s body. he blacks out, and when he comes back, everyone who was in the room, except for prophet and himself, are dead. and that’s when the fun, living with a horrible demon creature in my body part starts.
this is the very very basic details because i can’t write out everything i have and also i Suck at recapping my ocs stories so. yeah </3
eli and prophet have a huge hannibal/will graham thing going on and they’re very messed up. good for them
