#hannibal mask if it slayed....

batman and wildcat #2

[ID: two panels of Batman in restraints. He has spiked gloves on and a white, full front mask on over his cowl—which prevents him from seeing anything. In the first panel he's kneeling with his hands down between his spread thighs. Two men stand behind him on both sides and are only shown from the torso and crotch down. One demands to the other, “Give him the rules.” The second panel is a close-up on Batman from the shoulders up. One of the criminals is holding an electric baton underneath his chin as Batman tries to turn his head away. END ID]

HORROR'S NEXT TOP GENDER, ROUND FOUR MATCH EIGHT: Will Graham (Hannibal) vs. Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)

PROPAGANDA FOR WILL:

"he gives me gender envy and is just like me fr fr"

PROPAGANDA FOR LEATHERFACE:

"To me bubba is gender fluid, and autistic. The masks she wears represent her current state of being, and are literally a way of masking. She enacts gender performatively for different events"

"Gender Fluid Royalty. Rustic butch who works with their hands. King of meat, queen of the saw. Rocks the apron and the suit. What gender are they on any given kill? Who's to slay!"

"Leatherface is gender in that real fucked up way only trauma genders can exist. He's put into the position of housewife by his family until the end of the movie when he's in a suit and tie. All the while wearing his characteristic mask."

"Genderfluid icon, switches gender by switching his masks depending on his mood, becomes a beautiful drag queen by the end of the movie (such a shame they didn't keep the scene of him showing off his makeup skills), likes to dress very fancy, enjoys jewelry.... etc etc.[...] He wears the face of different people, thus enbodying their identity. Each mask serves to express a part of himself, no matter the gender, age or appearance. Leatherface prefers to present and express himself through different genders. [...] All in all, Leatherface's gender is very ambiguous and fluid in the og movie, which gives me gender envy as a nonbinary person tbh."

Masks Worn For You

"There is an argument to be made that masks are the greatest tools of thieves."

"Most would say not an argument, but common knowledge. Who else has need of a mask?" Will countered as he picked up an asymmetrical mask shaped like a crescent moon, admiring its Robin’s egg blue exterior and black lace trim.

"Liars, I would assume." Hannibal replied with a smirk as he picked up a half mask with an over-exaggerating furrowed brow, holding it up to his face by the wooden handle and turning towards Will. "Half a face still covers an entire lie."

"That's not necessarily true." Will said with his own rueful grin as he took the mask from Hannibal's hand. "If your mask was whole, I wouldn't be able to tell which mouth was trying to deceive me. A half mask gives me half a chance to see the truth."

Hannibal looked at Will for a moment before reaching for another mask, this one meant to only cover the lower face and painted with a menacing snarl. He held it against Will's bearded skin. “And what if I were to only cover your mouth?”

Will's bright smile could be seen even through the mask. “I don't know, Doctor. You tell me. I wasn't the only one muzzled by the BSHCI.”

Hannibal couldn't help but laugh. “I find it is quite hard to slay dragons when my best weapon is hindered.”

Will's laugh echoed with Hannibal's as they continued to peruse the small antique shop, but Will found himself back near the small section for Venetian masks as one in particular caught his eye. Once at the register with their purchases for the new safe house, Hannibal raised an eyebrow at the black half mask Will put on the counter. It was only meant to cover the eyes and had a border of small red rhinestones around it's edge, but the obsidian antlers tipped in red paint and extending a good six inches from the temples of the mask were what really caught Hannibal's eye. Will paid for the mask and took it with a smile from the cashier, quickly grabbing the rest of their bags and ushering his companion outside.

Hannibal opened his mouth to ask Will about his purchase but was silenced as Will held the mask up to Hannibal's eyes and placed a chaste kiss against his lips. “A gift for my deceitful dragon slayer.”

A fond smile curved the cannibal's lips. “It will be the only mask I ever wear for you.”

Will knew he had found nothing but the whole truth in those words.

**This was my entry for the Hannigram After The Fall zine. It didn't make it, but it was fun to write since I've been unable to write a lot about our boys lately. Congrats to everyone who did make it into the zine, tho!!

Beauty and Rage (6/?)

Title: Beauty and Rage (6/?)

Authors: @destinyawakened @mrs-graham-lecter​

Rating: M

Chapters: One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six |

Pairings/Characters: Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter, Anthony Dimmond

Summary: Born in a facility that breeds and trains soldiers to fight beasts and demons, Will has his own ideas on what life should mean. On his escape, he adapts quickly to his new, unfortunate surroundings and takes to the male escort life with incredible ease. His life takes a sudden change when he meets Hannibal Lecter, a devilishly handsome man with an alluring, and unlikely past, and is not all what he seems.

Hannibal kept his ear to the ground, trying to locate the ghost of Gui's curator to no avail. The only thing left to do would be to go there in person without the added knowledge he'd hoped to acquire.

After getting back from the out of town trip, the devilish man helped Gui bring in the luggage and put it away. He wrapped his arms around his boy's shoulders and smiled. "Tomorrow we will find him, and sever all ties. He will no longer be a threat to our happiness."

“So you say,” Gui replied, giving Hannibal a hopeful gaze, but he honestly knew better. Gui turned in his arms to look at him properly.

"Are you doubtful?" Hannibal asked, having been around for centuries, fought many battles. He leaned in to kiss Gui's nose, waiting to hear his real feelings on the matter and not masked compliance. "You can speak freely with me, dear boy."

“We know nothing aside from what little I knew about him, what if something goes wrong?” Gui asked, insistent that they be ready, not running in gung ho.

"There is a chance of something going wrong if we know or do not know everything about him," Hannibal offered, but then relented. "However, we will wait, if you wish, continue our search for information."

“Something has to be around, right? A facility like that doesn’t just exist without… merit or reason?” Gui asked, straighten up a little, wanting to be serious about doing this right.

"Yes," Hannibal agreed, pursing his lips thoughtfully. "What do you remember about when you left there? Any small detail will be of use in our quest."

“I left a bloody trail,” Gui said with a smirk, smiling over at Hannibal as they put their things away. “It was gray, dull, strict. There were these… arenas, they called it ‘The Pits’, where they brought in beasts to slay, to train us.”
