♡︎~Ten Years Of Hannibal~♡︎

Today, April 4th, 2023 marks 10 years since Hannibal was released by NBC! So... HAPPY HANNIVERSARY, MY DEAR FANNIBALS!

It’s absolutely outrageous that Hannibal was released TEN YEARS AGO!

I don’t have the words to describe how grateful I am to Bryan Fuller and the cast of Hannibal for coming together and creating such an amazing and memorable masterpiece that I have loved and appreciated for so many years, and that had been embedded into my skull for the beautiful artistic mastery of not only the art, colors, displays, music, and culinary arts, but beauty of acting, and the way it made me feel throughout the time I had experienced while watching the show, I am forever thankful for the work they had done for us and will continue to be for the years to come, these people are truly awe inspiring and incredible people. So with that being said…

Thank you, Bryan Fuller, Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy, Hettienne Park, Caroline Dhavernas, Gillian Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Kacey Rohl, Scott Thomson, Aaron Abrams, Lara Jean Chorostecki, and everyone else who helped make this show come to life, as well as the casting crew, the costume designers, producers, other designers and the visual/sound designers, all of you are amazing and we, as the fandom, the Fannibals, appreciate you all and your dedication, your hard work to come together and make this show such an incredible experience for us all and a legacy that will live on for years and an eternity to come. Again, THANK YOU! We love you, us Fannibals, WE LOVE YOU ALL!

Now, without further ado, here are ten things that you and your half of the murder husband duo do to celebrate your tenth anniversary of being in a long lasting and loving relationship~🎉❤️

*Reader is gender neutral~❤️ enjoy!

Dr. Hannibal Lecter~

♡Unconditional~

❥Hannibal is very proud to have you as his significant other, his love and his forever partner, so for the first show of appreciation and love for you on your 10th year anniversary, Hannibal would be awake very, very early, much earlier than his usual, to prepare you the most beautiful, thought out and special breakfast that he will bring to you and let you eat in bed, making sure that you don’t have to lift a finger in the morning so that you can be relaxed and ready for the long day he had planned ahead for the two of you.

❥Once breakfast has been devoured and your stomach full and satisfied, Hannibal would make sure to tell you had had canceled all of todays plans and proceed to help you to the bathroom where he had previously prepared a warm bath with soaks and all the things that you possibly could ever want for a bath, the ultimate relaxation time that Hannibal would let you have alone or join you in with whatever you would prefer and need of him. He would help wash your body and your hair, pour you some of that expensive bubbly stuff you always adored and just spend time with you for as long as you both possibly could before the water was to get cold and force you two out.

❥From then on Hannibal would have given you your first actual gift of the day, as if the breakfast and bath surprises weren’t enough. He had went out a few weeks prior to buy you that dress/tux you’ve been eyeing, and gift it to you wrapped in the most beautiful and luxurious gift wrap her ever could get, watching your eyes light up and sparkle with absolute joy was all he could ever want and need in his life. But he had to make sure you realized that this wasn’t all that was planned and that you should put on the dress/tux he had bought you, because he had more surprises up his sleeve~!

❥Hannibal had driven the two of you to the next location he had planned for, the whole restaurant and surrounding park had been rented out for just the two of them to enjoy, and he couldn’t help but smile and feel all the flutters of love and affection for you when he saw those tears of disbelief and happiness, and threw your arms around him in absolute appreciation and thankfulness. He held you tightly before he pulled away to bring you to the tables, letting you pick whatever you wanted from the rather expensive menu and treating you with the best possible alcohol or nonalcoholic beverages you wanted.

❥After the two of you finished eating, Hannibal brought you over to your next surprise, that of which being your [favorite activity], though he didn’t really enjoy it himself he knew you adored it, and let you have all the fun you wanted, he participated with you and helped you reach the end goal of the activity, smiling at your face as it lit up with happiness.

❥The night was slowly approaching and Hannibal had made sure the two of you had the best time of your life so far, and he was so very far from being done with the night for you. He brought you back to the house and sat with you on the couch, handing you a few more gifts that he watched you open happily, smiling at each gasp and smile of appreciation for what he had gotten you, happily returning your affection when you opened each one.

❥Hannibal smiled happily at you as he watched you while he sent out messages to everyone to inform them about the dinner party he was hosting that night, one where he would finish the night off with the grand surprise for you…

❥Dinner time was rolling around and the guests were filling the house, congratulating you two on surviving ten years of being in the relationship that many envied of you two. You ate happily beside Hannibal while conversing with the guests, happily accepting the few gifts some brought for you two to open later on. The dinner was incredible and delicious as always and you absolutely adored Hannibal with your entire heart.

❥The time was growing later and it was nearing the end of the dinner party, and it was time for Hannibal to elicit his final gift of the night, standing her tapped a knife to his wine glass and cleared his throat, he looked at you and smiled, announcing his love and passion for you, expressing his gratitude for you being by his side for this long and telling you that you mean the world to him, you saved him from himself many time than you can count and he couldn’t be more happy to spend his life with you, and with the final words, he smiled, promising you that he will stay with you forever and love you for the remainder of his life and until his dying breath, and even though after death it was uncertain what would be, he promised to love you even then.

❥Dinner had finally ended and everyone had went home after saying their final congratulations, before the two of you were alone yet again. The look Hannibal gave you was unconditional love, and you returned it with the same look that meant it all. The rest of the night, you two laid in bed entangled in each others arms making the most soft love you two had ever made, holding each other and whispering sweet nothings to one another before the two of you fell asleep in each other’s embrace, knowing full well of your mutual unconditional love and affection for the both of you…

Special Agent Will Graham~

♡︎Eternal~

❥Waking up, Will had no idea it was a special day in all honesty. He had a small feeling that it was different than the rest but he didn’t know what exactly what it was, so he had done his usual morning routine, giving you a soft loving kiss on your head and making his way to the bathroom for a shower and his morning ritual. He did remember to make a small breakfast for you and leave it sealed in the fridge so that you didn’t have to worry about cooking anything and just taking what he made for you and heating it up before you went to work too. He left a cute little note on the top of the container that expressed his happiness and love for you, before he grabbed all his things and left for work, making sure his dogs were quiet and fed as he left.

❥When you woke up you found the breakfast rather quickly and smiled softly at the note, always enjoying these little displays of affection he showed you, knowing it was hard for him to do so anyways. You checked your phone as you ate and you noticed an event on your calendar… ten years… ten years! Oh my gosh! Today was your ten year anniversary with Will! How could you forget?? You mentally scolded yourself and hoped that he had forgotten as well to spare yourself the embarrassment of such a thing, and as you finished breakfast you washed the dishes and filled the dogs’ water bowls before taking the trash out and making the house much more tidy and smell much better (let’s be real here, it would definitely have a bit of an unpleasant smell with all those dogs running around the place) before you got ready for work yourself. Running out of the house you got in your car and went to work, remembering to stop by a little gift shop to buy a little something small for Will, to make up for the forgetfulness of your memory on todays special event.

❥Will got home to see the rather very clean house and it surprised him a bit, but he didn’t mind it. He was glad to have a sparkling clean house for once in what felt like forever. As he sat down at his desk to work on a few new lures for his fishing stuff, he suddenly remembered the day and importance! The tenth anniversary of your relationship was today and he had forgotten, oh how bad he felt for just now realizing this. He hadn’t even bought you a gift or done anything to plan for today, and he felt terrible about it. He quickly pulled his phone out and scrolled a bit through it to figure out what he would do for you today, as you would be home soon and he was absolutely in shambles on how he forgot about today. Concluding that he would take you out for dinner and let you pick something out at the mall no matter the expense he set his phone down and stood up, searching through his closet to find something nice to wear for dinner tonight. He called Hannibal and asked him advice on tonight, and with newfound confidence, Will picked a more fancier outfit out and then he heard the front door open.

❥Will immediately ran to greet you, enveloping you in a hug and kissing you before the two of you said your happy anniversaries at the same time, causing the two of you to break out into laughter and smiles. He was shocked but grateful as you handed him the small gift, admitting to him you had forgotten all sheepishly, yet he didn’t seem upset, he laughed and looked at you, admitting that he too had forgotten. He set the gift to the side and told you about the dinner plans and how he was going to take you to the mall to make up for forgetting and you happily agreed, kissing him gently before urging him to open his gift. He smiled excitedly as he saw it was some new equipment for his fishing lures, he thanked you with a loving kiss and a hug before he told you that the two of you should get ready and go to dinner before it was too late.

❥The two of you got dressed rather quickly and left, going to have a small candle lit dinner at your favorite restaurant, having loving conversation while drinking your favorite drinks and eating your favorite fancy foods. He smiled at you and you smiled at him as you both talked and laughed, having the best time of your lives.

❥After dinner, Will brought you to the mall and let you pick out whatever you wanted, insisting that he didn’t mind the price and he showed that by happily buying the things for you, spoiling you with all the love and money he could.

❥The two of you soon got home and just spent some time lazing around on the bed, watching movies on the tv and petting the dogs as they laid in your laps. You two occasionally shared a kiss or a small make out session, before the dogs interrupted and whined for kisses and affection of their own, which you two of course obliged to and happily gave.

❥Will and you just held each other all night and whispered soft affirmations to each other, reminding you how much you two meant to each other and how important you two were to one another.

❥Will eventually was the first one to fall asleep, holding you close and running his hands through your hair as he was at first trying to hum you to sleep, but he ultimately hummed himself to sleep. But you couldn’t be more happier, you held him and cling onto him until you fell asleep yourself.

❥You two just ultimately have such a deep connection and love for one another that you didn’t need anything big and extraordinary to profess your love, you two had each other and that was enough. You both were meant for each other and you two were eternal for one another. He loves you and you love him, and that’s enough, he is so thankful to have you for these ten years and for many more to come. As you too, were with him. ❤️

Happy Ten Years, Hannibal~ ❤️🥀🍷🥩

More Hugh Dancy Related Fraud

or: Where Are These Damn Will Dolls? A Guide to Protecting Yourself from Fandom Scams

Disclaimer: I have received my refund in this situation. I am writing and posting this because some people I care for dearly have not received theirs, despite multiple requests and deadlines. They don't want to post for fear of retaliation and having their refund withheld even further. Maybe a public post will be what it takes to finally get these fannibals their refunds, and save them all the hassle of going to court.

I also think the fandom has the right to know so that people can avoid getting into any situations like this in the future.

The Facts As We Know Them:

In November 2017, Melanie (twitter user @melythemac) made it known to a few fannibals that she had contracted a sculptor to create heads for Will Graham dolls. She promised to personally provide bodies, clothing, and accessories, and to assemble the dolls before sending them to the members of the group order. In January 2018, we each paid her around $200 for all of these things, and she claimed to have sent the money ahead to the sculptor for TEN (10) HEADS TOTAL and ordered all accessories and bodies needed for the dolls.

As a group, we agreed that we'd wait for ALL of the heads to arrive to Melanie, and then she could ship the dolls to each group order member at the same time in order to keep things fair.

She said 10 people were in the original group order. Later, we found at least 11 people had given her money in exchange for dolls.

By June 2018, despite, the original agreement of everyone getting their dolls at the same time, three members of the order had received their dolls. Mads Mikkelsen was also given a doll at Birmingham Comic Con.

At this point, I was frustrated and asked where my doll was. I was given the response that the sculptor only send a few of the heads and more were on their way. They should arrive in a week.

In July 2018, I asked again. The same response was given.

In August 2018, I asked for a refund. The same excuse was given, that the dolls would arrive in a week, but if I didn't want to wait I could have my money back.

In September 2018, the money still had not arrived and I was given excuses about personal life issues, and was told I'd get the money soon. At the end of September, I send an email demanding my refund or legal action would be taken.

Finally, just before my deadline, I received the money.

By October 2018, Hugh Dancy was also given a doll. One more order member also received a doll.

So one year later, in November 2018: 1. 5 fannibals, including Melanie, had dolls 2. 2 cast members had received dolls 3. 1 fannibal (myself) had received a refund 4. 5 fannibals who had paid in full did not have dolls

I was contacted by those who didn't have their dolls, and asked if I ever received mine. I shared my story. After comparing emails and DMs we found that we were all getting the same excuse: it was the sculptor's fault, he hadn't finished the heads, he hadn't sent the heads, the heads will arrive in a week. So I contacted the sculptor (sculpt4ever.com) via facebook chat.

He said Melanie had only ever ordered 7 heads, not 10. He had mailed them and they had arrived between June and September. He provided tracking numbers which proved the deliveries had been received, and he also provided info showing she never ordered more doll heads. Anyone who was getting the 'just one more week' excuse was being strung along. He was shown where she had blamed him on twitter for the delays, and he replied with proof showing she never ordered more than 7 heads. Melanie promptly deleted her tweet blaming him and didn't respond.

In December 2018, those who did not have their dolls sent an email demanding refunds by January 11th or a lawsuit would be filed. Two people have received their refunds in full. Three people are still waiting and documentation for a lawsuit is currently being put together.

The Worst Part of Everything?

Since she only ordered 7 heads, Melanie willingly gave away two dolls fannibals had paid for to Mads and Hugh, with seemingly no intention to replace those dolls any time soon.

And to add insult to injury, during this past year Melanie took trips to Denmark, London, and various locations in the USA. That money could have been used to order more heads and give people the goods they ordered, but it seemingly wasn’t, no matter how many times people asked for her to just give them their doll or give their money back. Right now multiple people still do not have their money back and she is still planning vacations.

And this all doesn’t include the amount of cajoling it took for the people who received their dolls to get theirs. To our knowledge, a majority of the people who received dolls had to send multiple emails and make firm demands to even get theirs (and some apparently were handed over with incorrect accessories)

How to Keep Yourself From Ever Being in this Situation:

No matter how big name the fan is, do not order any high priced goods from them unless they have a proven track record of completing orders on time

When paying for goods, use your credit card. Do not do bank transfer, do not use your paypal balance. That way if you find yourself without the promised items you can call your credit card company and file a charge back. The card company will happily refund your money and go after the seller themselves.

If you ordered something and have not gotten a refund, small claims court is your friend! Filing costs money, but in many cases the defendant will have to refund your money AND the court costs. So long as you have documentation with clear deadlines for payment/refunds it's a slam dunk case. If the defendant doesn't show up to court, depending on the area, you might just win by default. Often, just the threat of small claims will get the seller to give back your money.

And finally- DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP! We're a nice fandom that rarely has trouble, but if you're being wronged financially then you need to say something so that others don't fall into the same trap.

I Want A Will Doll!

Please order direct from sculpt4ever 

He is super kind, and once your sculpt is painted shipping is SUPER fast: I got my head in just one week. Bodies and clothing can be found on ebay or amazon. Don’t be afraid to ask a will doll owner where they got theirs :)

PS: I am more than happy to provide screencap proof of all of this. I just didn’t add it in order not to make a long post even longer and more cluttered. I hope this allows people who are owed money to get their refunds, and helps everyone in the fandom keep their money a little safer.

10+1 tag game

Rules are simple: Answer 10 questions, tag ten people and add a question for the next person to answer. Only answer from #2 on!

Thanks to @three-black-cats for tagging me, love ya

1.What is your favourite song?

JUST ONE?

At the moment I’ll have to say either LA Devotee by Panic!At The Disco or Changes by David Bowie (I have both stuck in my head.) But I think my all-time favourites are Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (basic, I know, but out of the fact that it’s a motherfucking good song I also have a lot of memories built around it), I Don’t Care by Fall Out Boy, and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd (again I have an emotional bound with it since it was the first song I played with my band in, like, 7th grade)

2.What is your most prized possession?

Uh idk, if you’re talking about price I think my phone. And then my dr.Martens boots, I paid a shit ton of money for them but I’ve had them for like 3 years and I don’t regret anything.

If we talk about “emotional” prize instead I’d say all the “silly” gift my friends have given me over the years, including a little creepy statue of a frog (yk I had a phase in which I would just burst out laughing when I heard the “f-word” for no reason), a bookmark with a dinosaur on it (I had specifically asked to get a dinosaur for my birthday), and a cat plush from my best friend.

3.Favorite OTP or BROTP or OT3?

My all-time OTP has to be Hannigram because it has it all, it represents to me the idea of romantic love fully. But I’ve also been a Wolfstar junkie, shipped a lot of GinnyxLuna and I’m currently obsessing over Newmann (@three-black-cats that’s your fault and you know it)

4.Favorite fanfic or fan art?

Idk I don’t think I have a favorite one. But I know for sure that when we talk about Newmann anything from this nerd who tagged me is AWESOME. (so maybe if you’re into gay scientists being mutual idiots go check her out???)

5.Favorite beverage aside from water?

uhHHH I’m a literal H2HOE so this is a bad question. But, tea. Or coffee also but mostly tea.

6.Favorite actor?

This one is hard. Again: just one??

As a Fannibal I’m compelled to cite Hugh and Mads bc come on. THEY’RE AWESOME. I haven’t actually seen many of their films but Hannibal was enough to make me love them.

Also Michael Fassbender and fucking JODIE FOSTER, because, Hannibal aside, she’s literally amazing and I have a huge crush on her. But I love so many more actors idk I can’t choose

7.Favorite color and why?

Yellow?? Idk it’s happy and bright and flamboyant (I wear black more tho) Or maybe blue.

8.Favorite animal besides dogs/cats?

BATS. Bats are the fucking cutest things to ever exists. Also there’s all this supernatural/vampires/witches thing going on so yeah even better

9.Is it better to know or not know?

I think it’s better for your peace of mind to not know things, but honestly, I personally like to know.

10.Aesthetic?

Well I don’t know if it’s a thing but like... formal punk? I have this undying love for rock/emo/goth/edgy stuff from my early teens but with time I also added more minimalist/classy stuff, both for aesthetic and practical reasons. So yeah catch me in a tailored suits with a band tee underneath and combat boots

+1: Last book you’ve read?

I genuinely can’t handle animal abuse. 

2) I’m asexual.

3) Every time I think about writing in the Death Note or I watch Light write in it, my fingers physically twitch. No idea what that means. Maybe I want to use it?

5) I’m terrified of the dark - unless there’s enough light so that I can see the outline of my entire room and sound, I can’t and won’t sleep. Every creepypasta and scary film, every ghost story... they all play in my mind over and over without light and sound. Even then, I’m on edge. I just don’t like the dark. At all.

I tag anyone who wants to do this.
