Ms. The Rest Of Me

Thank you to everyone who has been reading and leaving comments. I'm glad I took the plunge and finally started writing them.

Martha Wells is pretty cool.

I like how she encourages people to just keep on creating. Doesn’t matter if you’re good or bad, what your goal is, what you’re writing. Just write.

Don’t let them take the joy away.

Question for y’all…

To what extent do you guys think Clarice would have to push Hannibal to get him to kill her? I mean like, really push him and how would he do it?

-I say he would take his time with her in a poetically and artistic way. Like he’s gonna let himself “enjoy her end” type-of-thing and in terms of taking and eating an organ from her, I feel like it would be her heart.

Show: I feel like Mad's Hannibal is written in a much more violent way with a higher survival instinct. I feel like if Clarice were to get in the way of his freedom or desires, then he would have no problem removing her or at least harming her.

Movies: Hopkins' Hannibal has proven he would never hurt her. Even in the event of losing his freedom, he would rather harm himself and abandon her instead of killing her.

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)

"How do you want the lights?" he said. The corridor between the cells was dim. Near the far end she could see bright light from the last cell shining on the corridor floor. "Dr. Lecter's awake." "At night, always - even when his lights are off." "Let's leave them like they are."

yet another marital spat

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) dir. Jonathan Demme

“Spaces devoted to Hannibal Lecter’s earliest years differ from the other archives in being incomplete. Some are static scenes, fragmentary, like painted attic shards held together by blank plaster. Other rooms hold sound and motion, great snakes wrestling and heaving in the dark and lit in flashes. Pleas and screaming fill some places on the grounds where Hannibal himself cannot go. But the corridors do not echo screaming, and there is music if you like.”
