Fuck it, Clannibal doodles. 

These were originally warm up sketches that I had no intention of posting but there is a severe lack of Hannibal and Clarice content on this hellsite so I thought why the hell not, I’ll do my part. I try to draw Hannibal as a mix of book+film

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS at 30

♡ “It was my idea to release that film on Valentine’s Day.” – Jonathan Demme ♡ “The scenes between Lecter and Clarice play…as if they were lovers.” – Ted Tally

The Silence of the Lambs débuted in cinemas on February 14, 1991. Hannibal Lecter mentions Valentine’s Day – and considers sending heroine Clarice Starling “a wonderful Valentine” – several times in the novel. (Unfortunately, these lines didn’t make it onto the big screen.) 2021 marks the 30th anniversary of this iconic film and its “perverse sort of love story” in the words of Silence writer Ted Tally, whose screenplay won an Oscar.

Would they have you back, do you think? The FBI? Those people you despise almost as much as they despise you? Will they give you a medal, Clarice, do you think? Would you have it professionally framed and hang it on your wall to look at and remind you of your courage and incorruptibility? All you would need for that, Clarice, is a mirror.

Actual quote from the book, its sad it didn’t make it in the movie.

Because I already know it’s coming, a small PSA before Clarice starts, for those of you that watched Hannibal but are not familiar with the books.

A lot of Will’s character and some of the plot was taken from Clarice’s novels, so if there’s similarities they’re not “ripping off” or “stealing” stuff from him, they’re just pulling from the same source material

So if Clarice expresses acute empathy, has visions/full sensory flashbacks/dissociations/night terrors/sleepwalking, that’s entirely within character

Hannibal won’t be in the show, but if they do things right he’ll be evoked plenty, and either way there will be plenty of meta and Clannibal content floating around. Clarice is Hannibal’s canonical endgame relationship and people shipping it is not inherently “homophobic towards Hannigram”, nor does it diminish it for the timeline of NBC Hannibal, or any other such nonsense. It’s possible to ship both, I know I do.

If you’ve been around the fandom block plenty and want to add your own warnings, feel free.

“Did you ever think, Clarice, why the Philistines don’t understand you? It’s because you are the answer to Samson’s riddle. You are the honey in the lion.”

if you have a problem with any of the fictional pairings that i enjoy on the internet, for the low cost of $9,000 you can pay me to care about what you think

I just felt the need to say that CLANNIBAL IS CANON. An astonishing number of people haven’t read the books and are hence unaware of this fact.

Head empty just Clannibal

in honor of Clarice Starling, the queen of Capricorns, celebrating her birthday today, here’s a board of some cap memes that make me think of her

“First principles, Clarice. Simplicity.” ↳ Silence of the Lambs (1991) // Procreate

I rewatched this movie a while back and I really loved the lighting and framing of this particular scene. So I thought I’d try and paint it in my style.
