my favorite clarice starling headcanon is that she has a little scar on her bottom lip from a childhood accident at the sheep farm

will graham could not meet fox mulder in the same way that clarice starling could meet dana scully, because everything would be fine and dandy if clarice and dana met, but if will met mulder, mulder would be asking him if he ever considered the possibility of being abducted by aliens and will would start tweaking

the fbi was going through the craziest shit in the 90s like what the hell do you mean they needed to use an insanely dangerous cannibal for information to catch a serial killer who is murdering innocent families for his becoming of a god that is possessed by a dragon, then having to use him AGAIN to catch another serial killer who is murdering girls (including a senator’s daughter) to wear their skin as a suit while some other girl died under mysterious circumstances while other people are getting abducted by aliens and being terrorized by the paranormal while ALSO across the country, there’s a satanist who is possessing dolls and using a former nurse to kill more families???

need to reread the hellbound heart and rewatch hellraiser before i read the silence of the lambs and rewatch the movie so i can yap about the parallels between kirsty cotton and clarice starling

i think the funniest part of the rumor about jodie foster and gillian anderson hooking up is the fact that gillian had really long hair that she said she didn’t comb for like three years and having to cut it for the role of scully in the x files because of how her character was influenced by clarice starling/jodie, and the idea of her going to jodie’s house after the audition mad as hell

i think the funniest part of reading the hannibal books and comparing them to the movies is the differences between clarice starling, like book clarice would gladly tell someone to kill themself but movie clarice would NEVER and i think that’s hilarious

something i find interesting about hannibal is how they casted kacey rohl, who has a striking resemblance to jodie foster in the silence of the lambs, to play abigail hobbs, a young girl who is traumatized by the death of her father and is haunted by him - much like clarice starling was

if taylor swift were to exist in the x files universe, i think scully would be a red/folklore/evermore/tortured poets department type of lady while mulder is the type of guy to kick the door down with shake it off blasting on full volume

i saw someone say that scully deserved to have more female friends/allies and honestly that’s why i like to think that the x files coexists in the same universe as the silence of the lambs and hannibal because then she would have those other connections with clarice, ardelia, alana, margot, etc. etc.

thinking about starly being toxically codependent girlfriends

i can’t believe thomas harris had his colleen hoover moment in red dragon

need thomas harris to write another hannibal book and include bedelia du maurier and go into detail about her backstory
