Hannibal will be dropped for you!

Send me a 🛍️and I’ll share an outfit from my character’s closet.

🌌Favorite alternate version of the muse?

hm. i can't think of any aus for bill that im particularly crazy over. but i know the sort of scenarios i like to see aus of, even if how they're executed isn't generally for me. i love any type of au that takes bills narrative role in the story and completely flips it on its head. oh, you're supposed to be the menacing scary guy who's behind the scenes pulling the strings and making everyone feel generally helpless and lacking agency. hits you over the hammer of some shit happening that takes you off guard and completely nukes that and puts you in a scenario where you feel helpless and lacking agency. the closest thing to this i see is that dream.captor au thats around, where its like. ford pulls some bullshit to trap his little bitchass in an orb or some other item and he's reduced to a little trinket. i think it's fun to see how he copes with that situation and completely fuck over his narrative role.

❥ 𝐁𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒: amaryllis :   what is something or someone that your muse takes pride in ?   how do they express that pride ? 

Hm.. Honestly, if she was to take 'pride' in anything, it would be how well she does her job and so on, since that's really all she's got? Cause she doesn't have anything earthy possessions and such on, but I don't really see her taking 'pride' in that either since it's just what she is suppose to do? She'd never gloat about it, or say she's the best of her kind, she's just doing it because that is her nature.

anemone :   how does your muse view the world ;   as a cruel   &   unforgiving place ,   a land full of wonders ,   or something in - between ?  where does that world view come from   (what experiences ,   life lessons ,   etc .   ) ? 

🎭 How similar are you and the muse? 

Send, "Don't think about it!" for sender to help receiver break out of a flashback.

You are floating. Hovering. Having been so unceremoniously pulled off the stage, your stomach lurches as it adjusts to your newfound temporary purgatory. The moments before you wake. It never feels any nicer. But it is a reprieve nonetheless. A few second interval where you can process the following:

That you died. The easiest of the bunch. You reached your end this time, though, strangely, you can't remember exactly what happened this time around. How odd.

How you died. This is usually pretty easy too. But it's unlike you to not pay attention. You suppose it was inevitable, to rehearse a script so much you know it by heart. Less an attempt to break free and more just going through the motions. Maybe you touched a tear by accident, maybe you ate something you weren't supposed to, got crushed, protected your family. You think you would remember reaching the King. Talking to Her. So it must not have been important. Ha. You died, and that's not important. Funny!

That it's time to start again. This one is getting harder. Each and every loop. In these sickening moments of clarity as you float from your deathbed to the makeshift bed you awake in outside of Dormont. Again. You do it again. Start over. From the top! Oh, you're starting to hate it. You keep track of every one. You have to. To remind yourself. Of what? Everything.

Don't think about it.

Huh? No, you have to. Surely if you waste away here you will remember what happened. It'll all come back to you. You just... Have to wait. A little longer. Here. In the space between. Being alive and being dead. The static in your ears. The ache of your gut. Don't open your eyes, Siffrin, you're not ready yet. You have to review the script, see the corrections in the margins. You will get it right. Just a little longer.

But you do open your eyes. Premature, and frustratingly. You don't remember and it scares you and so now you have to wake up knowing that not even your deaths are spared from your silly, forgetful nature. As you thought, not important! If your life was important enough to remember, you wouldn't have forgotten.

But you're doing as you're told. You're not thinking about it.

😒 Is there anything canon about your muse that you ignore?

no, because everything that's happened to him and everything about him in canon ultimately shapes who he is as a person, and i feel discarding any of that would be a huge disservice to his character. even ugly parts like him misgendering elendira (and then correcting himself right after she gives him a Look; unfortunately however this is more a reflection of how poorly nightow writes about her), since i don't believe in disregarding characters fucking up and not saying the right thing All The Time, especially if i believe they can grow from it.

i guess if i had to answer and think really hard, it'd be the super vague timeline that nightow's created for him. which has caused quite a few arguments among fans. so i tried to make up something a bit easier to follow that still made sense. but uh. that's it?

Mun talks about the Muse

 🔥 Unpopular opinion about your muse? 

Not so much as an unpopular opinion about AM but about how people perceive him and the story itself. IHNMAIMS is NOT a story about torture porn; it's about the follies of man and how our greatest technology will inevitably come back to bite us in the ass. So people characterizing AM as solely getting off to torture with no deeper reading is soooooo boring to me. AM has a very human psyche; he constantly makes noises during his monologue in the radio drama despite having no analogous body to produce the sounds, he wants what he can't have and is deeply envious of humanity despite his hatred of them. No human is born 'bad', they are almost always made 'bad' by their environment.
