HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 23

TangoTek x Yu-Gi-Oh

For Tango I picked Yu-Gi-Oh!!

Most people know Yu-Gi-Oh! as a cartoon and card game, but in the original story the pharoah spirit who possesses Yugi is known as the King of Games, as in, all games. So who better to represent Yu-Gi-Oh! than the creator and dungeon master of Decked Out, the ultimate game within a game?

To learn more about Yu-Gi-Oh! and see my style references, continue below the cut.

@hermitadaymay

(The King of Games would definitely donate to Gamers Outreach)

Yu-Gi-Oh! is a manga and anime series about a boy named Yugi Mutou who solves a cursed puzzle from ancient Egypt and is then possessed by the spirit of a ruthless Pharoah who has lost all his memories.

"Ruthless?" I can hear fans of the anime saying. "The Pharoah is a good guy!"

Incorrect! He only becomes a good guy later. Early on he is literally Ancient Egyptian Jigsaw.

In the manga, the Pharoah takes over Yugi's body whenever Yugi is in danger, whether he wants it or not, and manipulates people into agreeing to rigged, high stakes Shadow Games. Once they inevitably lose, he traps them in a Penalty Game (a poetic justice torture scenario) for the rest of their lives or possibly all of eternity depending on the situation. It's really messed up! Highlights of early Yu-Gi-Oh Penalty Games include:

Lighting a guy on fire

Blinding a guy

Telltale Heart-ing a guy

Driving a guy so crazy his rips out his own eye

Blowing a guy up

Envenomating a guy with his own pet scorpion

Electrocuting people

Forcing a guy to endure an illusion of eternal zombie attacks

Trapping people in hell forever

...and more!

The show is way more family friendly and follows a significantly mellowed-out Pharoah and his friends as they battle bad guys with card games that summon monsters to fight on their behalf. It's pretty fun an campy!

However, Yu-Gi-Oh! the show is fairly well known so I also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce everyone to season 0 manga Pharoah, who is literally a serial killing ghost with a gambling problem that's possessing a 16 year old.

If you had an Egyptology phase as a kid, give Yu-Gi-Oh! a watch. If you watched Yu-Gi-Oh! as a kid, go read the early manga.

Style references:

There he is, the King of Games. The heart of the cards guides him but he also full on just, like, cheats too.

Malik, on the left, and Bakura, on the right. These two are villains from the show who are also teenagers possessed by (evil) Egyptian spirits that were trapped in cursed metal knick-knacks. Everyone in this show has Hair with a capital H.

Hi hello I watched all of carmilla in a weekend when I was 17 because a student teacher who in retrospect I had a bit of a crush on mentioned that she knew one of the actresses. also I am pretty invested in all your recent vampire stuff because I watched iwtv in 2 days last week because your edit intrigued me

oh hiiii 🫶 thank you for indulging me. thats so cool that you watched iwtv! did it live up to the expectation?

i also watched carmilla at 17! or like, 17-19. i found it when s2 had just started and followed it to the end. did something permanent to my brain but i think it was a good thing. on rewatch now im like, i was right to like this. like it's a solid show, it's good. it has its flaws obviously but it's well written, the emotional moments still get me, i can see why i liked it and i still like it now even when it's not anymore, you know, meeting every need that baby gay me didnt even know they had

what it doesnt reaallyy do though - i dont remember if i posted abt this or if i left it in my drafts but - is explore vampirism as a concept. their subject matter is more lesbianism than vampirism. which is great! thats what they wanted to do and they did it and it's very good. but reading interview with the vampire the book rn im realising how much potential vampires have to be metaphors for like so many things and i started wondering like 'wait, did carmilla just not really engage with it or did it all go over my head'. but it just didnt really engage with it all that much. which again is fine bc that wasnt what they were doing. im glad they were more about the lesbianism than the vampirism

but there's this interesting difference in framing, because in iwtv they keep calling armand 'ancient' right? and emphasising how old he is. and he's like 500? and i was like 'wait isnt carmilla like 400?'. she isnt, shes 340, but still, thats getting there, you know? and we know quite a lot about her history, but kind of just the Big Events. when she was turned, the events of the novella, coffin of blood, silas. thats sort of what we know. but none of the long lonely slog of history day to day you know? with armand i feel like we can really feel how much time everything takes. how every one of those years is made up of single days. with carmilla i dont feel that as much. i keep kind of thinking about daniel, when louis calls him a boy in the first episode, saying "im an old man, with all the triggers that come with it"

because carmilla might look 18 (or mid twenties at this point) but she has lived all that time. shes also seen her native land be claimed by like a succession of ruling powers, right? like armand. shes been buried alive, like louis. when lestat is born, shes already 80 years old, shes lived a whole human lifetime, and the entire adult part of it shes been a vampire. shes lived through 1680-1870 being a lure. i compared her to abigail hobbs in some tags on a post, i dont know if youre familiar with hannibal the tv show, but i do also kinda keep thinking about that comparison

if youre not familiar, in the first episode of hannibal the murderer of the week is this guy garrett jacob hobbs who kills and cannibalises girls who resemble his daughter. and later on it turns out she was made to be his lure. like they'd go places and he'd sent her to the victims to make friends and maybe get them back to their home or smth. not sure if they specified all the details. but that's what carmilla did for mother. and in s2 we hear from mattie that while every couple of decades carmilla had to lure victims for the fish god, she also seemed to just enjoy humans between those times, right? like the doctor, gets lonely, gets a new companion. but we've only sort of got mattie's mocking word for it ("dont eat him, hes a poet! or her, shes got such a wonderful voice. or that one, shes just too pretty to ruin"), we don't know exactly from carmilla's point of view what she was doing or why. if mattie's talking about stuff that happened after the blood coffin, 1950-now, then i think it's a fair assumption based on what carmilla says in the s1 sock puppet show that after she'd figured out what the real situation was and what her role in it was, when she'd started trying to save girls from being sacrificed, that she mightve been doing the same trying to save people from becoming mattie's victims. it's probably more likely that she was just trying to find excuses to stop mattie from sucking someone dry rather than actually having like an aesthetic based morality. but it might be a bit of both. im still trying to figure out what her philosophy actually is, like i dont know what existentialism actually means ghkfjghkj but i will

i also found it pretty striking in the movie when shes turning back into a vampire she says like "this was supposed to be done, you know? the blood lust, the self-loathing, the sleeping tied to a chair in my own bedroom". thats what defines her vampirism, wanting blood and hating yourself for it (the third part is a joke/reference to s1 but also i think meaningful for how she sees her relationship with laura when she IS a vampire. little bit of that 'she will reject me for my monstrousness' shining through). and thats what defines vampirism for lots of vampires across the genre obviously, but i dont know, it struck me. we dont get a lot from carmilla's pov, we know a fair amount about her, but the story is always told through laura. we get laura's diaries, but just snippets here and there from carmilla, what shes thinking, how shes feeling

and i love that shes a philosopher. i love that thats how she seems to try and find something to hold onto, in a world that kind of moves around her, having been murdered, kidnapped, turned and groomed to be a lure on the cusp of adulthood, never having been properly loved (the relationship with her father wasnt good she says in s3, and her mortal mother i dont think has ever been mentioned (like laura's)). the only good relationship she seems to have had for the better part of 3 centuries seems to have been mattie, and mattie seems to love being a vampire. i can imagine carmilla just sort of going along with anything mattie wants to do just because shes so desperate for that friendship. not like, against her will necessarily really. but more like, she hasnt even had the space to develop her own will, you know? and philosophy lets you do that. philosophy gives you frameworks to understand the world and to develop your own opinions on it. and by the 21st century she seems to have developed those opinions, she has a sense of her own values, but shes also still stuck in that same situation. shes jaded and cynical in the face of laura's optimism and strong moral code a lot of the time in s1 because she feels probably pretty powerless. like she does what she can to save some girls but at the end of the day shes scared of her mother and she has nowhere else to go really, right?

i like how she grapples with that over the course of the series, in tandem with laura grappling with her black and white morality. she sort of jumps ship from her mother to laura bc theyve fallen in love, but then laura still stuck in her hero thinking refuses to see her monstrous side. not literally bc i think the biological vampirism never seemed to be a problem for laura, but morally. the having murdered. carmilla needs laura to see that and love her while seeing it bc the last girl she loved rejected her for being a vampire.

but you see her kind of swing back and forth in s2. she softens first with laura but then they break up and she leans back hard into the sarcastic cynic defense mechanisms, leans hard into "im a monster, dont expect heroism from me". but thats like, it's sort of learned helplessness i think. it's powerlessness, resignation. bc morally shes not a monster. maybe she doesnt have as strong a drive to help other people as laura does and is a little more selfishly hedonistic in that she just wants to enjoy her/their life, but she doesnt hurt people for fun, she never has. she just sort of didnt have another option for a Really long time. so she pretends she doesnt care. "im a vampire, this is what i do, this is who i am". but clearly from the way she talks about it when she turns back into one, she doesnt enjoy it

and i like how she goes even further in s3, where she starts swinging even more to the heroic side, bc she sees hope. shes like "wow if we kill my mother, i'd be free". theres hope and she becomes like a lot more active. and shes like that at the start of the movie too, a lot happier, a lot more relaxed, and then vampirism is back and bam depression gfhgkjh like shes immediately more gloomy, ashamed of her past and her self, retreats into herself

sorry i just took this as an opportunity to dump all the carmilla thoughts floating in my head on you. you didnt ask fhkghgjh consider this an open invitation to you or anyone else to come talk to me about carmilla

[pagodazz]

habit hcs when?

HABIT hcs RN!!!!!! :D

Like Vinnie I think HABIT is an avid music enjoyer, But unlike Vinnie, HABIT prefers to play his music out loud and he likes to play it LOUD.

I personally think he invested in (or stole) really good speakers so he would be able to really feel the music. Even if it shakes the house.

He definitely plays heavier music when he's drowning out the sounds of the screams of the people he's torturing, but I think when HABIT comes home after a long day of that or, just a long day of doing WHATEVER he does, he plays softer music.

yk like Frank Sinatra, The ink spots, Nina Simone, nat king cole AND STUFF LIKE THAT!!!!!!

it's something calming y'know.

EVEN AN ENTITY LIKE HABIT!!!! LIKES TO UNWIND GUYS!!!

he needs something to kick back to. Something to have in the background as he sharpens his knives, or cleans the blood off his boots.

(Songs he canonically likes + silly ones bc yeah. & ones I think he'd like/remind me of him)

------------

I think that HABIT really enjoys cooking. And I personally believe he's really good at it. like freakishly good at it.

Now, In canon we already know he's capable of cooking (Ex: Making burgers w Vinnie, Baking Vinnie cookies) But I think hes just Weirdly good at cooking.

Like I think he's probably made the best food Vinnies ever had, And I wouldn't even say HABIT would trick him with human meat or anything.

He wants Vinnie to stay on his side, he needs Vinnie to wanna stay so he's not gonna fuck w him like. (He probably kinda wants to tho.)

view it as almost like a Hannibal thing??? but WAYYYYY less fancy. HABIT is just NOT that kind of guy and I doubt him and Vinnie would even like to eat fancy meals.

He's just really talented at alot of things I think. But I like the idea of this HORRIFICALLY TERRIBLE VIOLENT ENTITY enjoying a nice homemade meal he made for him and his roommate that he's holding hostage.

---------------

I think one thing alot of people don't seem to remember about HABIT is that he likes to draw things out, he doesn't like to RUSH things.

He wants to draw out his victims suffering for as LONG as he can, that's the reason he even made a deal with slenderman at all. he wanted to keep his victims alive longer so they could feel and see everything that was happening to them.

I think HABIT is a very precise man, personally. I know a lot of people see him as almost sloppy, but I could NEVER. He may get BLOODY or MESSY but that doesn't mean he got SLOPPY. He knows exactly where to stab to paralyze a person but not kill them, and I KNOW he can list of the names of your bones as he breaks them.

I believe HABIT is a big perfectionist, and I know that has to be practically canon because how could it NOT be??? he needs absolutely EVERYTHING to go his way the WAY he wants it to. He feels a sense of pride knowing that NO ONE would be able to identify his victims once he's through with them. He gets a small feeling of pleasure at the power he feels when he sees the life disappear y'know?? why wouldn't he want that all to turn out PERFECTLY.

-------------

I think that HABIT has genuine interest in keeping Vinnie around personally, and wether it's just for his own selfish gain, the fact Vinnie is the collectives favorite part of the machine, or maybe Evans love for his friends just bled into HABIT after inhabiting him for so long.

But I think he (wether he even wants to admit or not) WANTS the company.

After Vinnie summons him, HABIT talks about needing friend's about about he doesn't have many companions other than slenderman and the rake. HABIT wanted someone he could have a functioning conversation with, (WHICH. IS THE SAME REASON VINNIE SUMMONED HIM. HABIT CAN TALK!!! SND GIVE ANSWERS!!) he also wanted someone to stay around and document him as well.

one of the parts that I think kinda shows that HABIT views Vinnie as a partner/companion/friend/a being HABIT can tolerate being around is from the video "Breaking the lease."

The fact HABIT seems genuinely very excited to show Vinnie that he not only 1. Got himself a camera (like Vinnie), but he was 2. able to turn it on by himself. (which previously is something he struggled to do. See in the video "Lexi".) is SO fascinating to me because RIGHT AFTER when Vinnie doesn't give him a positive reaction, making me assume that Vinnie typically praises HABIT for things like that, HABIT INSTANTLY is asking Vinnie what's up, and then he's trying to immediately trying to distract, or make Vinny feel better from whatever was upsetting him by offering to make burgers or play some video games.

Which, then Vinnie declines, and HABIT follows him and continues to try to make things better but he fails bc he's well, HABIT. And then he's very upset to find out Vinnie wants to leave and he seems literally almost hurt and betrayed LMAAOOO.

which he literally loses his shit every time Vinnie asks to leave and just had a break down both times ESPECIALLY in "sleeping dogs lie".

so there's at least smthn there that makes their relationship a little more different than anyone else HABIT interacts with. It's not healthy obviously but, you can clearly see he hasn't fucking eaten him.

--------------

I also like to think HABIT has a collection of human bones from his countless victims.

And in my head. HABIT only ever eats flesh and meat right off the body FRESH.

--------------

anyways YAYYYY so much shit that PROBABLY NO ONE WILL AGREE WITH BUT!!!; THERE WE GO!!

[hiemaldesirae]

Arrax here: this idea is kinda funny/weird, but I'm in a weird mood so: (also Hannibal/Hazbin Hotel crossover) Vox has NEVER told anyone how he died. EVER not even Alastor knows....well one person knows. Lucifer. Vox and Lucifer made a deal--because Hannibal killed Vox. Vox at least wanted to know if 'the fucker,' ate him. (The answer is no. Why did Hannibal kill Vox? The FBI team picked up Vox the Priest cough-cult leader-cough as a suspect, and Vox figured out who the real killer was via the clues given in his interrogation and because of Hannibal's fucking name.) ("Like, Hannibal the Fucking Cannibal? He was right there, the whole TIME! AND THEN THE MOTHERFUCKER DIDN'T EVEN EAT ME!") The deal with Lucifer is simple show Vox what happened to his body after death, and Vox will be....Lucifer's best friend?? Uh, okay whatever his majesty wants.

It goes well during the 7 years Alastor's gone. It's okay during his return, as most of the dates? Friendship meetings? Are at the palace and they play video games and just genuinely fuck around having fun. (Vox may give Lucifer ideas on how to fuck Mammon over, time to time. It is funny.)

However, do to helping Lucifer deal with Mammon Vox gets pulled into something....else. Apparently, some sinner is playing dad with the princess, and Lucifer doesn't want his first visit with her in ages to go wrong. So he takes Vox along--Vox doesn't want to go--AT ALL, but a deal is a deal, and....in all Honesty Lucifer is one of the few beings he can call a friend now. So he goes, thinking it's probably Husk or Maybe Angel Dust--easily dealt with sinners for the King of Hell with his overlord best friend cheering him on.

This unfortunately is not the case. Vox feels his suspicions rise when Lucifer winks at him and says wait out hear for a minute, and don't worry about anyone sensing you. I've hidden you.

It's not until Vox it literally summoned into a middle of a song off-- "Have you met my bestie, Vox? (Shared duet between Vox and Lucifer with Vox in his Priest outfit:) They say, when you're looking for assistance (Vox takes over every electric device and broadcasts Lucifer's Voice, here, cutting out Alastor's parts.) It's smart to pick the path of least resistance

Others say, that in your needy hour (here Vox drops to his knees in prayer while Lucifer unfolds his wings and surrounds Vox with them)

There's no substitute for pure angelic power! " They finish their part of the song off, with Lucifer gently picking Vox up and setting him on his feet, easily giving the TV overlord a side hug.

With Lucifer's right arm around him, and the sudden screech of radio static mixed with angry stag echoes through the air as the princess claps her hands--"Dad, you have a friend?!? Besides the sins?!?"

Vox however is wide eyed at the very angry Alastor, whose radio dial eyes are on the King's arm, still wrapped tightly around Vox's shoulders.

It's then, the TV overlord realizes he really should have taken the damn joint Val offered him that morning.

IM GONNA CRY. where the HELL did that first part come from arrax your mind is wonderful LMFAOO i can just imagine the absolute shock and indignation on voxs face (screen??) when hes going like 'MOTHERFUCKER DIDNT EVEN EAT ME??' thats perfect. thats great thank you so much for that contribution

OH MY GOD. alastor would be fuming at the part where vox starts praying i just know it he'd be like '...whys he not praying for me. why is it for that 4'2 little gremlin absentee father BITCH' im going to scream and cry this is SO FUCKING FUNNY HAHAHAG

like. like. look at what i see okay i will illustrate it (metaphorically) for you guys

vox: heyyyy uh. luci, your majesty, big man, could you consider letting me go since the song's done and all.... (very vehemently not looking in alastors direction)

lucifer: no can do bestie! so, char-char, have you been introduced to my Best Friend (has also noticed alastor's Very Negative Attention and instead of looking away is locking eyes with him)

charlie: um! well.............. about that......... (thinking back to the meeting with valentino) so. uh,

meanwhile alastor looks like a rabid animal in the background

Why The Chesapeake Ripper Would Kill Me and His Design: A Transman's Guide

If Hannibal was to kill me I think I know how he'd do it. Firstly I'm a rather polite guy to people that aren't family or my closest friends, even then I have a rather clinical approach to etiquette. However, I'd probably ash a cigarette indoors without an ashtray, if he was somehow in an environment like that. If it wasn't that it would be for becoming romantically obsessed with him to a degree he'd be annoyed with. Either way these would result in some strangulation/suffocation type death. Either stopping the air from reaching my lungs if I wish to taint everyone with smoke or halting me from ever speaking again when I waste so much of my breath on trying to woo him. I'm also trans, so I think he'd give me top surgery before he killed me and of course eat my breasts. Thinly sliced, then grilled, just like they do cow udders in other parts of the world. I don't know if I'd be interesting enough for him to allow me to eat with him. He'd allow me the joy of being alive after he removed them though, leaving me shirtless for a while before death.

Then he'd kill me by jugular compression, cutting off blood flow and airflow to my brain until I produced hemolacria - tears of blood - at which point I'd be dead. Hannibal would remove my pants, leaving my boxers on, rolling up my own socks to pack the front. He would split my tongue down the middle. I'd then be sat in a kneeling position, head upturned as if pleading to the Heavens, my hands sewn together as if I'm praying, but they are angled downwards into my lap, with the fingernails torn off. The lax form of my praying hands would indicate a tired hopelessness, while the torn fingernails are signifying certain desperation. With my head upturned still in death it is clear what or who I was pleading with and desperate for.

At first analysis it may seem I was begging for forgiveness because of my gender identity, but with the surgery being done before death, the packing of my boxers, it is as if the Chesapeake Ripper was giving me the gift of making me into who I truly was before he ended my life. With the split tongue, one may think I have a rather antichrist look, which is where the bloody tears and sagging prayer hands come in. God had forsaken me, or not answered me in a very long time, despite how long I may have asked for him. This feeling and this alone would have been the only reason Hannibal would feel enough for me to make me into some sort of a display, rather than just discarding me after harvesting, because it is a feeling he's all too familiar with.

Once again, it's commentary from the Chesapeake Ripper about man’s desperate desire for a connection with a God who is unforgiving or simply not listening. Of course that means likening himself to that God, but by physically aligning my body with my gender, he is more powerful than God and more merciful. He'd probably ask Will if his prayers often went unanswered as a child and if he still prayed late at night when no one could hear him.

If you're a Transmasc!Will truther, then in addition to that this could be a way for Hannibal to display the understanding he has for Will that Will may not be used to, or that he has always been searching for, a way to say “I see you as you truly are.” If you're a Transmasc!Hannibal truther, then Hannibal could be putting himself out there for Will to see, in order to gauge Will’s reaction to someone like Hannibal, but also to express the pain he felt pretransition, wishing he knew why he felt the way he did.

Monsters Within

Summary: After complete radio silence from nosy Reporter and informant Freddie Lounds and a mysterious email, Detective Will Graham is sent off by his boss to investigate her disappearance. The investigation leads him to the Murkoff Corporation and their involvement in the Mount Massive Asylum, which has been shut down before being reopened to house the criminally insane. Will heads to the asylum in the hopes of finding the missing Reporter. If only he knew what monsters lie inside...

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

CHAPTER 5

Will jumps from the vent, looking up to see disoriented glass windows, and a dark figure running across from him in another hall. Looking down, everything is blurry due to the glass, but he knows the color of blood.

It looked to be a bloodbath down there.

"What happened here?" he wondered.

Looking to the door next to him, he tries opening it, but it was locked. Just like every door here.

Looking down the hall, Will sees a blockage of furniture, and a cracked door. Making his way to the door, he sees the sign labeled 'Library'.

"Hope there's another door around this." said Will.

He opens the door for a body to swing towards him, making the curly haired man scream. He falls to the ground, breathing hard as he stares at the body, head missing and blood stained.

"Shit, why didn't I jump back out the window when I had the chance?" Will groaned.

Getting back to his feet, Will pulls out his camera to enter the dark library. Stepping over the body, he spots another hanging body, no head either. Books were scattered about and the cases moved around like a labyrinth.

'These aren't personal kills, I'm hunting, hunting for Him, he desires pigs, I will hunt down all the pigs to satisfy Him, He will notice me, He will help me reach my Becoming.'

Will blinks to shake his head, again with this guy.

"He's both feared and admired, whoever this guy is, he's in charge... wait, what did Freddie's email say, beware the Ripper?" he muttered.

The Ripper... oh no, she couldn't have been referencing the Chesapeake Ripper, could she?!

The Chesapeake Ripper, an intelligent, psychopathic cannibal who killed any he deemed to be pigs, take their organs to eat and elevate the corpses into art. Known all over the world by different names, but he was never caught.

At least till two years ago, when a single hair was discovered. A hair that finally ended the Ripper's rein, and revealed the face of the most dangerous and intelligent serial killer in this time.

Respected and renown socialite and Psychologist; Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

After his arrest, he was sent to a mental institution, though no one knew which one he went to. Least till Freddie's email.

"Shit, I need to find her and get out." cursed Will.

Moving more through the library, Will passes a shelf to see a pile of books and corpses with a rod sticking out. And on the rod was an impaled body.

The rod was rammed up the body through the ass and out the chest. A vert painful way to die.

'Many executions involved impaling, someone wants the Ripper's attention, they're creating art to please him.' thought Will.

He'd rather keep the attention off himself, thank you very much.

Will moves closer, needing to move past the body to get to the other side of the bookcase maze. A foot away, the body suddenly convulses, gasping for air.

The curly haired man jumps back with a panicked squeak. Seriously?!

"They got out, they escaped, the Variants!" cried the impaled man.

Will gulps to step back, camera still raised to the dying man.

"You can't fight them, especially Him, the Ripper commands them all, you, you have to get out of this terrible place." choked the man, coughing up blood.

Will watches the blood drip from his mouth, onto the pile of bodies. This was looking really bad.

"Have you seen a woman with curly red hair, I can't exactly leave without her." said Will.

"She's most likely dead already, we all are, but you have a shot, use the security room to open the main doors, run, and don't look back." coughed the man.

He lets out another cough before falling still and silent, he'd finally passed on.

The man sighs, looking away from the body to see on his camera a cracked door with a bit of light peeking in.

If what the man says is true, then Freddie is already gone. Especially if the Ripper runs things now.

Making his way to the door, Will opens it to see something large go into another room, shutting the door.

A shiver of fear runs down his back, what was that he just saw? Was that an inmate?

'No wonder all the personnel got killed, if guys like that escaped, there really is no stopping them.' thought Will.

Hearing nothing, he leaves the darkness of the library and makes his way more down the hall. Eyes on the door, he moves on past. He turns again to see some junk in the hall, but it looked like he could squeeze his way through.

Placing his camera in his jacket pocket, Will starts squeezing through the gap. Just as he pushes through, a ha d suddenly grabs him.

"Pig, fresh meat for Him." growled the man.

Will stares into his eyes, struggling to escape the mad man. His dark hair was cut short, he was also missing the inmate shirt so his muscles were on display. But that was ignored by his face, his deranged eyes and crooked teeth covered by a cleffed lip.

'He must see me, see what I am becoming. I am His most loyal student, His strongest creation. He must see me!'

Shaking his head, Will frees a hand to punch the inmate. But it barely does anything, just makes his angry.

With a loud snarl, he throws the curly haired man at the window, smashing the window and making him fall. Will falls with a shout and lands on the ground hard.

Groaning, Will's vision blurs and fades a bit. Laying still, in pain, all he can do is shut his eyes.

As he lays there, ne hears the sound of footsteps, dress shoes. The footsteps come closer till they too fall silent.

A large, strong hand rests on his cheek, turning his face so it was facing up. Will opens his eyes a bit, but he only sees blurry shapes and darkness around the edge of his vision.

Then, a figure appears in his vision.

"Now who are you?" asked the figure.

Will just groans, turning his head away and shutting his eyes. The figure chuckles at this.

"And you're still alive, hmm, I think ill test.you again, stay alive, darling, I wish to see.more of what you can do." said the figure.

A sigh escapes Will as a hand runs through his hair. Soon, his consciousness fades away and Will drifts away.

How does it feel when Damon decides to take the cure with Elena in S6 ? The character journey to that moment he's much willing to be human-again

Their scene on the porch

ELENA: [takes the cure from him] I want this, Damon. No matter how much it scares me, I can't pretend that I don't.

DAMON: I know you do. You've wanted this since the day you became a vampire.

ELENA: For you, there's no going back.

DAMON: [smiles] That's never been my style.

ELENA: And, you're impulsive! And reckless!

DAMON: And madly in love with you forever! No matter how long that's gonna be. And taking this cure, Elena, won't change that. I'm ready for a little reality if you are.

>Different from S4 cure storyline..

I feel a lot of things about Damon's want to be human.

Vampirism is forever, so being human is not something Damon ever really thought about. Rose pushed it in because she truly didn't want to kill those people in the parking lot. She's a good person. She kept talking about their reality which kept bothering Damon, and you can see that in his body language. She made him miss being human when there's no point, they still have no idea there's a cure. He views his vampirism as an "it is what it is" mentality. Accept your new life because you can't change it, and he has. He would've been fine after burying Rose, but then Elena stopped in. Humanity is a vampire's greatest weakness because to feel is to be human. It would be human of Damon to feel guilty for Rose's death, and he's not human. That's why he ends up killing Jessica in the road. "It is what it is" and Damon accepts that reality by eating her. The soundtrack is hilarious because it's fitting.

When the cure first came into the storyline, it was during the time Elena was sired to Damon. That's why he told her that was different. It was different. Elena didn't stop to consider what he was dealing with then. Doubts that her love was real. Everyone constantly pulling him down to their level. Damon is extremely affected by the words of others. Every time I think about his character, I think about a conversation in Hannibal.

Words are living things. They have personality, point of view, agenda. They're pack hunters.

Damon is affected by words, and every time someone spits a good one at him, it's quite effective. They might as well be cutting him open. Everyone is spitting them during the sire bond storyline, like pack hunters. He won't speculate whether or not he'll take the cure because they have him believing she only loves him because of the sire bond. Love is the ONLY thing that would ever get Damon to become human because he spent so long being a vampire and actually came to enjoy it. So Elena's love has to be real. We're talking about the same guy that became a vampire to be with Katherine, only to be a vampire in love with a woman that didn't love him. So yeah... he's just gonna get mad and push her away because it's easier for him. He considers being human the most miserable thing on earth because he's back in that road with Jessica. "There's only so much hurt a man can take." Their workout scene is effective because they're written opposite each other with their strength/weakness. Damon simply can't deal, so he goes to where he's strong... with Vaughn. Vaughn has absolutely no idea that Damon built a tolerance to vervain, so the ropes aren't as hard to handle. He's taking Damon to the cure.

When the cure came back in the second time, he pulled an impulsive moment. Impulsivity isn't just anger/rage-driven. It's all emotions. I had no doubt that he'd take the cure, but he honestly had to spend a day looking at everything he was giving up. Like I said of him in season 2, this wasn't something he actually thought about. "It is what it is" and Damon accepted his reality. 145 years he lived as a vampire because that was his reality. He didn't think about a cure so he didn't think about being human. There was no point. Elena was his first human life since he became a vampire, so he truly needed to reconsider. Stefan lived one human life after another and hates being a vampire, so it was never a problem for him. And as they've shown, Damon is as he always was. The only thing he found satisfying at that house was love. Only love would get him to become a vampire. Only love would get him to become human. If not for that couple coming home, he would've kept his fangs. He's showing a reality in that season 6 episode. There's no world without Elena, and at the same time, what his world looked like in 1864 when he thought Katherine died. That's why he wanted to die as a human.

DV Characters as Things Hannibal Buress Has Said

Alex: "I'm a gangsta, and gangstas don't ask questions." Yes they do ask questions! I thought that was a main point of being a gangster. "Hey, mothafucka, where's my money?" That's a question. "Do you want to die tonight?" That's a question too. "What? What?" That's two questions.

Alva: Gibberish rap is - I freestyle all the time, just hangin' out with friends. And sometimes when I'm freestyling, I'll lose my flow, you know, but I'll still wanna - I don't wanna just stop rapping because I lose my flow. So I'll just put in nonsense words till I can bring in regular words again.

Brielle: I couldn't imagine only being an actor or a writer. Because what the hell do I do when I'm not working? Mope?

Battista: I’m a dumb guy. My point of view is limited.

Bellamy: Why are you booing me? I'm right!

Beau: SIX PACK ABS! TEN PACK ABS! TWELVE PACK! What if I want an odd number of abs? What if I want a five pack to show people I'm still humble?

Bernadette: My other airport nemesis is airport security. I don't like them at all. They seem so dedicated to keeping bottled water out of the sky.

Calina: I acknowledge that I jaywalked, I apologize not for the act of jaywalking but how my jaywalking made you feel. I'll try not to jaywalk in the future while you're watching but trust that I'll do it for the rest of my life - it's the best way to go about being a pedestrian.

Castora: There's a lot of dudes in my neighborhood that have handlebar mustaches. Which is cool if you want to have a handlebar mustache but don't try to have a conversation with me like you don't have a handlebar mustache.

Catherine: He said, "Man, we are right by the Adige River. These buildings are 200-300 years old, they have rats everywhere. Even the five-star restaurants have rats!" Somehow he made me feel like the asshole for bringing up rats! I don't know what kind of jedi mind trick that was - it confused the hell out of me because I still ended up ordering food then.

Cyrus: So we talk for a little bit. She says stuff, I say stuff, she says stuff, I say stuff. You know how a conversation works.

Celeste: I get upset easily by people. I saw this guy- he was on the phone. He had the phone between the ear and shoulder like that, but he didn't have anything in his hands. Which is really upsetting! Who the hell do you think you are? This action for people that are multitasking. Where's your other task? You're not doing anything else.

Daphne: He'd be the worst real estate agent ever. "Right here we have a 34 bedroom house. Let me show you around the property. Great features to this place, some of the rooms have extra, smaller rooms in them."

Delilah: I was in Scotland for all of August and it was the darkest time of my life. Mostly 'cause they call cookies biscuits. I don't like that at all. It was an incredible culture shock for me, tough to adjust but I tried for a few weeks. Pass me the chocolate chip BISCUITS. Let's have biscuits and milk, everybody. I love Oreo biscuits. But, in the fourth week, I couldn't handle it no more. THOSE ARE COOKIES THOSE AREN'T BISCUITS. Those are cookies. Cookies are cookies and biscuits are biscuits. If you call cookies biscuits, what do you call biscuits 'cause I'm not saying scones.

Everett: I did not move to Verona with a plan. The first time I moved to Verona, I just popped up. My sister was living here in Verona. I just popped up. She had her baby and a husband, and I just popped up. "Hey, what's up? I got $200 and dreams. Let's do this."

Genevieve: I can't just look at a status and move along. I see a status got 36 'likes' — can't accept it got 36 'likes' and move along. I got to click on it and start reading the names of the people that liked it. "Oh, yeah. Jim would 'like' some shit like that."

Grace: Yo ma, money over everything.

Halcyon: Awe man, I gotta get a team. I don't have a team, I just have friends. I call up my friend, "Hey man, I know you're my friend but I need you on my team right now."

Hazel: You have a regular-sized tub and a miniature tub, the sink.

Henry: You never know what could happen when you go into a store - somebody might pull a Tonya Harding on you and break your knee cap. And now you got your knees all fucked up just ‘cause you wanted to get that vinyl.

Hugo: It sounds like God owed someone some money and they couldn’t get to him, so they murked his son. That’s what I really think happened. Jesus got stabbed up in an alley… but it’s easier to sell crucifixes. You can’t sell a pendant of someone getting shanked up in the alley. It’s a marketing scheme.

Ivan: Come to your place at 5:00 in the morning, eat your food, drink your drinks, leave at 6:30 without fucking like it’s cool. That’s a passive burglary.

Isabelle: Two separate charges $400 at Barnes and Noble. Who balls out of control at Barnes and Noble?

Juliana: Believe in yourself like one of those weird-ass clothing stores that only have six shirts in them. So many questions. How much do these shirts cost? How long have y'all been here? Why is there a DJ?

Katarina: Kill people, burn shit, fuck school, I hate spam emails! That's annoying! You think you have an email from a friend but it's spam.

Lucien: I believe in my ability to not spill food in my pants 'cause I'm a goddamn adult. And I've mastered the art of getting food from my plate to my mouth without messing up my jeans. You need to believe in yourself, too and get your life together, that's for babies. Have some confidence in your eating abilities and hand/eye coordination.

Lucrezia: I'VE ALREADY SEEN LIMITLESS.

Lillian: I'm not a club person, I'm more of a bar/lounge type of person. But, I'll go anywhere if you give me a free bottle of alcohol.

Mikael: I have weird aspirations. Like, I really want to kick a pigeon.

Matthias: It's a weird emotion when you're flattered and cynical at the same time. "Oh, that's nice that you would say that, but what the fuck are you up to?"

Marcelo: I just wear black and gray all the time. If you Google Image me, you'll just see a bunch of black and gray. It's simple. If I like a shirt, I'll buy six or eight of them, wear them back-to-back, and just wait for somebody to say something. "That's the same shirt you wore yesterday." "Yeah, but this one is fresh."

Maeve: When people go through something rough in life, they say, "I'm taking it one day at a time." Yes, so is everybody. Because that's how time works.

Nikolai: But this time, it was me and this old lady we were jaywalking together. We weren't together like that. But if we were, so what? Mind your business.

Odessa: It was a phone interview and sometimes when I do phone interviews and the journalist is boring, I just start saying crazy stuff to make it fun for me.

Olivio: There have been times I’ve been out, and my phone battery is at nine percent, and I was like, "Time to go home."

Orion: Don’t thank the lord. I gave you that compliment, thank me.

Priam: I lost my debit card recently, had five charges on it before I caught it. First charge, $30 Chuckee Cheese. Who goes to Chuckee Cheese as soon as they find a debit card? Are you serious?

Paola: I applied for a job at Starbucks. One of the questions was, 'Why do you want to work at Starbucks?' Uh, because my life is in shambles.

Pandora: I don't even know how to use a semicolon to this day, I use a comma every time. And you know what? If I email somebody and they get upset about me using a comma instead of a semicolon, that's not a person I want to work with anyway. And that's how you weed people out of your life.

Ramona: I went into this restaurant in Verona called The Two Gentlemen. Went into the bathroom at The Two Gentlemen, huuuuge rat in the bathroom at The Two Gentlemen and the rat looked at me like "the fuck you doing here?" That was his vibe, very negative vibe.

Rafaella: Sometimes I get drunk and I get into arguments with taxi drivers. And I get out the cab and I slam the door. That's not the way to win an argument with a taxi driver. The way to win is you get out of the cab and you leave the door open.

Regina: And that was the first time in my life, without any sarcasm, I could say, "What? You want a cookie or something?" Because any other time you say that, you being mean, but I meant it from my heart. "How many cookies you want, man? You want seven cookies? That's way too many cookies. You're being ridiculous right now. You can take, like, three or four cookies and get out of my face. Otherwise, you're taking advantage of my generosity."

Ronan: Wack.

Roman: In my hometown of Verona, I'm kind of a medium deal.

Theodora: We got interns at the job. You can just tell them to do stuff. You gotta be nice, though. I had this cat fax something. I handed him a couple of pages, and I handed him another page. I said, "Hey, man, fax something for yourself, too."

Tomas: Rap videos confuse me cause they have to be continued at the end but the never make a sequel. Where’s the second video? There’s so much suspense!

Trinity: I was at the airport and there was this kid, four or five years old walking with his mommy, fixed his fingers in a fake gun, and then took a shot at me. And I'm looking at the wall to see if there's something on the wall he could've been shooting at 'cause I'm in denial. I look back at him, he looks me in the eyes and takes too more shots. Now I'm hit three times, that's an act of aggression. I need to defend myself.

Valentina: Morpheus, Dorpheus, Orpheus, go eat some walruses. Orifices, porridges. Morpheus, Morpheus. Going to the Buffet and Walruses. Confidence, corpseses. Worcestershire sauce. Go into your orifices. Red pill, blue pill. Morpheus, walruses. Seashells by the seashorpheus. MORPHEUS DRINKING A FORTY IN THE DEATH BASKET.

Vivianne: "We'll keep you in our thoughts" With the other bullshit in your heads? No, keep me out of your thoughts, because I hear some of the stuff you talk about and if that's close to what you're thinking about, I don't want to be around that, so keep me and my family out of your thoughts, unless you're thinking of making me a sandwich.

[vampiremansionpoolboy-moved]

ok so this are the scenarios I have for the maid and cannibal oc like imgaine the tension, him telling some dark humor and her getting annoyed

or her getting hurt and she hides it from him because he's a cannibal and she's afraid but he finds out and calls her an idiot saying he wouldn't do that while he treats her

Imagine him eating and him asking if she wants some and she goes "If that's human then no"

and it's going to be their little thing

and apart from that imagine the tension and how romantic it would be to have the cannibal fall in love with her

he'd be like

"I love you, I don't love you in a way that makes me want to be you, or take your good parts and keep it for myself. I love you in a way that I want to see you every morning and just be together. I love you for you and I don't want to take anything away from that"

ok this was kinda bland but idk there are good ideas in my head that I can't put into words ok-

Like imagine him covered in blood, mouth and teeth stained with it and he goes near her, she gets scare bcos she thinks he wants to eat her. He slips his hand under the hem of her shirt... and he wipes his mouth with it 😃 then she stops being scared as he wraps his arms around her saying he's sleepy after eating and just wants to sleep, cuddling her

like a monster being soft yk???

😃😃😃 you get me?!?!?!?

also imagine the tension where he teaches her how to kill-

like there's a guy tied up and the cannibal just holds her hand showing her where to stab and it turns into flirting, like him behind her whispering in her ear-

*faints

And imagine her doing it and finally stabbing the guy, blood is running down her hand and he picks it up and makes it cradle his face saying she did a good job and he licks some of the blood off her hand-

bro this is nbc hannibal but straight/lh /hj

Pokemon Masters: Hannibal Edition

I love pokemon, and I'm always curious what kind of Pokemon people from other fandoms would have. So, this is my idea of what Pokemon the cast of Hannibal would have.

Will Graham:

Well, obviously he'd have a team of dog Pokemon, but that's a little too cliche so I'm doing a different team that he could also have.

Lucario

Due to his empathy to read people and see what had happened at crime scenes, Will would form a close bond with the aura reading Lucario, who's natural ability matches him well.

2. Gardevoir

Again, Will's emphatic abilities can also make him seem like a psychic and feel what the other can. Gardevoir is the same, feeling emotions and connecting with them. Not to mention like Will, she'd use her abilities to protect those she cares about.

3. Zoroark

As stated by Hannibal, Will is good at hiding his real self, even from himself. And when Will did start seeing it, he used it to manipulate many people. Just like the illusion master themselves, Will manipulated and easily hid his own agendas, so Zoroark would be another partner he'd have around. Just maybe one he'd keep to himself.

4. Arcanine

Okay, we gotta have a big, loyal and fluffy doggo on the team. Arcanine is a good match for Will's loyal and trusted dog, Winston. He followed Will around when he sleep walks to protect him, waited for him when Hannibal brought Mason to his home unlike the rest of his dogs. Not to mention he's Will's most iconic dog. I can see no other dog Pokemon representing Winston better than Arcanine.

5. Lapris

Will loves to fish, so it'd make sense he'd have the transportation Pokemon on his team. Will owns a boat and uses it to cross the sea to find Hannibal, maybe even using one to escape after the nose dive in the final episode. So Will owning a Lapris he can use for ocean travel and to fish of off. Makes sense doesn't it?

6. Pikachu

A small, electric mouse might not seem like a good fit for Will's team, but hear me out. Will has been able to hide his own strengths by hiding behind the person suit he wore of a sarcastic, twitchy man. Many people underestimated Will and it lead him to be able to manipulate and overpower some. Similar to Pikachu, being small and cute, many people underestimatd this little guy, only to get a shocking surprise. And like with team rocket, Hannibal has been chasing after Will to get him for his own lol.

Hannibal Lecter:

Now Hannibal might be a bit more tricky. He's a very complex character with many hidden sides and traits. Not to mention a cannibal. But I'm up for the challenge, here we go!

Aerodactyl

This is a Pokemon I can see easily for Hannibal. He'd easily keep this Pokemon close to his chest, like Will would with Zoroark, as an accomplice for his Ripper kills. Aerodactyl is a vicious, carnivorious Pokemon who also can eat people. So if Hannibal had any leftover meat or has a body he didn't want to display, what better clean up help? Plus with his wealth, he can easily pay to restore a fossil.

2. Slurpuff

Having a deep love of cooking, not to mention a superior sense of smell, the lovable Slurpuff would happily find a place with Hannibal in his kitchen. Being his sou-chef, Slurpuff would help Hannibal cook whatever he wanted, and being loyal, hide his culinary secrets.

3. Meowstic

Hannibal is always a couple steps ahead of the FBI, maybe thanks to this adorable psychic type. Meowstic has the uncanny ability to see into the future, a skill Hannibal also seems to have. This would be another Pokemon Hannibal would hide, not wanting others to see his full hand.

4. Cinccino

While a notorious killer who gets messy with his kills, Hannibal also has a thing about keeping things neat and tidy. What better Pokemon to help him clean up his home, office and crime scenes than Cinccino? This adorable Pokemon isn't just about cute looks, but also cleanliness and sharp eyes. Cinccino sees all, every little speck of dirt you have she sees it all.

5. Sawbuck

Being the Ripper and an association with the Ravenstag, not to mention all the antlers, Sawbuck would be a welcome addition to Hannibal's team. This Pokemon is elegant, strong and in style for all seasons, just like Hannibal. After all, he does love to dress up and look his best.

6. Eevee

This may seem like an odd choice, but it will make sense. Hannibal would have an Eevee on his team, not for himself but for his deceased sister, Mischa. From what little I know, mainly her young age when she died, Mischa would have been gifted Eevee along with Hannibal getting his own Pokemon. But when the Lecter family fell, perhaps Hannibal wasn't the only survivor. Eevee survived and Hannibal kept her as a reminder of his sister. She would be Hannibal's most treasured Pokemon and he'd keep the little one safe from harm. So this would be another hidden secret.

And that's it. I know I could add Jack, Alana and the others, but that's a lot. This will do for now. If you want me to do a part 2 with the rest of the cast or with another fandom, let me know. I hope you found this fun and I hope you all have a nice day.
