Melone as the Monster of Florence

Meme source Here

Melone: "If only there was some good in the world and everyone considered himself as their brother there would be less worry and less pain And the world would be much more pleasant"

"Bravo Bravo, noi condividiamo. Ma ora siamo davanti alla corte d'Assise e lei è imputato di sedici omicidi. Lei di questo si deve occupare"

(Agreed,agreed, and we do support that. But now you're standing before the Assize Court and you are charged with sixteen murders. That is what you need to worry about.)

you have the blame the original books creator too Thomas Harris, he was there when the trial went on

People say naming a cannibal 'Hannibal' is too heavy-handed but I have a coworker whose last name is 'Kanable' (pronounced Cannibal) so really I think the showrunner showed a quite a bit of restraint there.

So I thought The Monster of Florence was just a Hannibal thing. Apparently Brian Fuller literally went to the irl Monster of Florence trial and used it as inspiration for the show. Hannibal NBC is canonically the Florence Monster in-universe. I just thought that was wild. I recently found out about the real case - seriously fucked up shit tbh… I personally believe we don’t even really know the whole story but. There you have it.

“I’ve got you, love. Just hold on.”

A part in my novel. I can’t talk about any of this because I’m not published yaaaaaay. (This is a big mega dad moment for Mel though!)

every day I wish that Armand had somehow been able to meet the du Lacs because that would have been fucking amazing.

With Halloween coming up, I realize that I've never posted about my ACGAS Halloween Monster AU, so let's change that!

The name is pretty self-explanatory, but to explain the au, it's an au where everyone (at the very least, the Skeldale Family and a few friends) are halloween monsters! By halloween monsters, I mean monsters that you'd commonly see on Halloween decorations or in Halloween specials for shows. (Mainly so I don't have to be like, "Well actually, Siegfried could be a centaur because of his love of horses, but Tristan doesn't have that same, like, well-known love for horses so centaur doesn't super work for him, but it'd be weird if they weren't the same type of monster since they're brothers" and because I don't want this to be all angsty)

So let's get to which monster each character is!

James - Frankenstein

Pretty classic/popular halloween monster, and I think a classic/popular monster is fitting for our main character.

His mom is just as (over)attached and (over)protective as in canon, maybe even more so in this au, since in this au, she's the one that sewed him up and brought him to life. I can see there being moments throughout the seasons of characters having to stitch some of James' limbs back onto him (mainly Mrs. H in s1 and s2, then from s3 and onwards the responsibility probably transfers to Helen because she's his wife (I think she can sew, I don't remember.))

Siegfried & Tristan - Werewolves

There are three main things that factor into this decision: 1) they're vets and thus deal with animals, including dogs, a lot 2) they're brothers that live together and wolves usually stay in packs and 3) they both have facial hair and werewolves are (usually) hairy (in their human form).

Siegfried is already the "leader of the pack" in canon, but in this au, it's more direct/pertinent. After all, one of a wolf packs' responsibilities is to look after the wolf pups, like how it's been Siegfried's responsibility to look after his little brother after their parents died.

I can see Tristan uses his werewolf abilities, like superhuman strength, to impress girls along with using puppy dog eyes to get what he wants from/to convince Mrs. Hall and his brother not to punish him.

Mrs. Hall - Witch

While not exactly a monster per se, witches are often lumped together with werewolves and frankensteins when it comes to Halloween monsters, so I'm counting it. Besides Mrs. Hall's medicines are already called witches brews so it feels like a no-brainer.

In this au, along with cooking in the kitchen, she could also be making potions. There'd probably be a big cauldron that she stirs in the kitchen.

I like the idea of the hats she wears out all being replaced by different witch hats as well.

Helen - Scarecrow

This is where I stretch the definition, while not a typical Halloween monster, scarecrows are associated with autumn and harvests and stuff like that. Scarecrows can also easily be spooky monsters(, like a scarecrow in a fun little corn maze coming to life and hunting down people in the maze).

Overall, I just find the idea of the farmers (Jenny and Mr. Alderson would also be scarecrows) being scarecrows funny and cute. It's also fun to me that the like main couple in the show in this au are both sewn-up creatures.

Carmody - Vampire

Someone had to be a vampire. It's like *the* (classic (halloween)) monster. I see Carmody coming from a rich family, and vampires are typically the rich aristocrat monster. (And for the farmody shippers: werewolf x vampire is like a classic ship au thingy)

I saw this idea in a post about a hospital staffed entirely by monsters, but there's this idea of vampires being able to smell like bloodborne diseases, and I really like it, so I'm choosing to believe that Carmody would be able to do that and thus give the practice an edge. Also, I don't know if Carmody would be nocturnal like most vampires or not, but if he is, he'd probably be taking a lot more nightcalls, which would also give the practice an edge.

I think Carmody's bat form would be very cute, too.
