IT'S EVERGREEN

I never pranked my parents again after the incident.

I was 11 years old when it happened.

As a kid, I knew that something wasn’t quite right with the events that unfolded at the time. Even though it was never brought up again under any circumstances by either one of my parents, it’s something that always stuck with me. I can’t say it’s a memory that I tried to suppress seeing as it was always there at the back of my mind, bothering me like an itch that wouldn’t go away unless properly scratched.

OK, so I’ve had a few people ask me about what the Hannibal fandom is like from the inside. And while my first thought was that it was seriously awesome that the fannibals are so notorious that people ask those sorts of questions, it got me thinking. So I’ve compiled a nice list about my favouite aspects of being a fannibal.

Fannibals are fucking funny - like, seriously, our show is actually really serious (most of the time - think of it this way, the cannibal puns are cannon) but the hannibal fandom has like the most chillaxed, cracky sense of humor, but at the same time, we’re joking about the most horrible, gory, subjects. Here are a few examples of the fannibal humor: x, x, 

Our relationship with in the flesh. Seriously. We love those guys. They are our amazing sibling fandom. We will help them at any cost, unless they go against us in which case they’re going down.

Our relationship with the creators. Seriously, most creators sort of cringe about the fandom, but the creators of the fannibals are just like. “come here my precious babies can you give me links to your fics?”

Hannibal in and of itself. Hannibal is an amazing show. Like my absolute favorite show. It’s super dark and kinda gory it’s got wicked action scenes and amazing character and plot development. To top it all of it is the most visually stunning tv show I have ever watched.

I think one of my favorite things about being a fannibal, is our rep. Like, we’re the hannibal fandom, we’re those creepy people in the corner who practically worship a cannibalistic serial killer and are constantly giving out dinner invitations. It’s lovely to watch non-fannibals freak out about something we’ve done. Like, while I definitely don’t think we’re the weirdest fandom, we’re pretty high up there and it’s brilliant.

Now you know why the fannibals are amazing, you should totally join us for dinner! We’re having lamb!

And we can win every poll. When we join together, we are invincible.

My thoughts before I go to sleep. (via swxrn-in)

wow this hit home.

i mean there was so much wrong with it it’s not funny but yeah that was a huge part of it

malec got no plot, no driving force or real conversation just snippets that had already been spoiled. there was no progression from one point to another. we didn’t see them go shopping, didn’t see them get onto the balcony. we saw nothing more than a moving version of the stills

also we have magnus saying “i’ll be here” as though he’s just waiting for alec which is shitty, and i mean in general the episode reinforced a lot of tropes that just fucking suck

and then we get to that last scene which could have been soft and lovely, could have been a real discussion about vulnerability, but instead it was just cut off and magnus’s feelings were swept under the rug and not giving magnus any dialogue that agreed going forward and then just fading to black which is fucking bullshit

even if they come in next episode with showing us what happened the way that is framed devalues magnus’s feelings and consent and it’s also disgusting to call an episode “malec mania” and then not give them any plot and give a het couple more intimacy

people are saying we weren’t gonna see sex but like we did see sex and implied intimacy with other couples and malec should have been given the same treatment in one episode without it being framed like that
