Hannibal Fan Art (#MythsOfBlood) for @hannibalcreative

With Will as Hades and Hannibal as Persephone. (And I'm sorry about the mess. Stylus is still broken, so I used pencils instead :D)

SO, long story short: I first had this idea around the Fullerverse event (by Hannibal Cre-Ate-Ive as well) but it hadn't been very concrete at the time. All I really thought of was putting Will and Hannibal in the American Gods universe, and have them be Hades and Persephone respectively. I've mentioned before how much I love Will being portrayed as Death (or any other similar being) in fanfic, so I thought, why not add Hanners in the mix? Turns out, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, so I sorta forgot about it.

BUT THEN THIS event began and the idea just POPPED back in my head WITH A FUCKING VENGEANCE because the details flowed in.

(WARNING: Pretty long read under the cut)

The Hannibal fandom is both delightfully nerdy and full of bloodthirsty murder aficionados, which are the best kind of people.  We also have the most epic of archetypes; whether you think Hannibal is a better fit as Death or the Magician, or whether Will is more the Fool or the Hanged Man (poor Will) each character’s depth and complexity goes beyond the page where they were first written and beyond the screen where we first watched them, to something that has permeated us. Why else would we still be so excited about the show a full two years after its (temporary!) cancellation?

How better to embrace that greatness than with the most epic of storytelling: the language of mythology and folklore. From May 20th through 27th, create works based on the timeless stories of monsters, gods, heroes–and anti-heroes, of course. It can be alternative universes in which Will and Hannibal represent gods from a mythology, applying a myth to Hannibal’s canon in the form of a metaphor, or exploring the very mythology present in the show!

As always, any ship or characters based on Hannibal and the Hannibal Extended Universe is welcome, with any and all orientations! All works must be all original to you and published within the dates of the fest using the hashtag #MythsOfBlood.

For more in-depth discussions, click the links below on both sources for mythology and a guide on treating the source material with respect.  We can’t wait to see what you create!!

Here are some resources and information we gathered and you may use, that we please ask you to read:

Hel (Hannibal) and Pan (Will) meeting, and Hel so impressed by Pan so seducing him with also this words:

if you chose me this is would become even your kingdom”

Nigel has spent his life fighting for both respect and power, neither of which are easily granted to an omega, no matter how fierce he may be. It was only a matter of time before one of his alpha rivals sent an assassin to kill Nigel during his annual heat. Precautions have been set in place for such an event since he conquered the kingdom.

The man sitting on Nigel's throne defies all expectations. He might not even be a man.

And so it begins. Or, better, it continues: this is part of the Red Dragon mini series into Werewolf&Cannibal, that started with the introduction of The Undertaker. Did not you expect events to take this turn, uh? ;) We told you that something big was about to happen! And it starts right in time for @hannibalcreative ’s #MythsOfBlood.

It's time to explore mythology and folklore and what's better than to start with The Great Red Dragon?

To be continued!
