It’s time you guys! Becoming. A Hannibal Coloring Book is officially accepting Sign-Ups! 

With such a positive response from last year, it’s about time to launch this years coloring book project! There are some significant differences for this years book, but things shouldn’t be too complicated.

This years project is going to be a cohesive book that symbolizes the powerful storytelling that Bryan Fuller and the entire crew have created. There will be three parts to the book, one for each season. Thirteen pages will be in each section, one for every episode. 

There will be 39 slots in total, and they are available on a first come, first serve basis. Once all slots are filled, I will randomly assign episodes from the show to each artist. If you sign up, you will NOT be able to choose your episode. HOWEVER, if there is an episode you are NOT COMFORTABLE doing for personal reasons, you may include those at the bottom of the form.

The finished book will be the same format as last year, so I will be UNABLE to offer compensation for artists.

If you are interested, please fill out this form! Once I get 39 slots, more information will come! 

Follow the project on Twitter and Tumblr for updates!

[fannibalcoloringbook]

I have 26 slots filled! There are still spots open!

My 10 Favorite Books: Hugh Dancy

For his bookshop and website One Grand Books, the editor Aaron Hicklin asked people to name the 10 books they’d take with them if they were marooned on a desert island. The next in the series is the actor Hugh Dancy, who shares his list exclusively with T.

“The Pickwick Papers,” Charles Dickens

When I need to read something that I know will fill my imagination, lift my spirits and also be effortless, I go to Dickens, and this is the most preposterously, comically overflowing of them all.

“Women in Love,” D.H. Lawrence

Nobody has ever written like Lawrence (except bad imitators, and nothing’s more embarrassing than knockoff Lawrence. Sometimes he’s pretty embarrassing, too). This novel transports you.

“Sabbath’s Theater,” Philip Roth

The most anarchic, provocative, lewd and brilliant Roth novel. It feels like it’s on fire.

“Lucky Jim,” Kingsley Amis

I was recommended this when I was a teenager trying to figure out how to start reading “serious” books. Great recommendation, because on the surface it’s nothing of the sort, but it is brilliant.

“My Struggle,” Karl Ove Knausgaard

In part because reading the first two gave me the unsettling sensation of knowing what it’s like to be someone else better than I know what it’s like to be me, and in part because including it might force me to read the remaining four.

“Tristram Shandy,” Laurence Sterne

You could spend years on the first chapter alone, in fact people have. But in a good way. There’s so much going on and so much reinvention it’s bewildering.

“The Big Sleep,” Raymond Chandler

Raymond Chandler is one of life’s great pleasures, ideally in a bath with a drink to hand.

“The Left Hand of Darkness,” Ursula K. Le Guin

Forced to pick a single sci-fi novel, I’ll go with this because, in ways even beyond most sci-fi, it is so far ahead of its time. You’re left believing entirely in the worlds she’s imagined, including a better version of this one.

“The Best of Wodehouse: An Anthology,” P.G. Wodehouse

I know that on and off I’ll be reading this until I die.

“The Tremor of Forgery,” Patricia Highsmith

I could pick almost any of her novels — “Deep Water” would be another. This one is typically masterful in the way it measures out information and suggestion, laced with a growing sense of dread. And a great title.

sorbet (s01e07) vs. naka-choko (s02e10)

look at the way will accepts and holds the glass of wine in sorbet. when you hold a glass of wine, the proper way is to take it by the stem of the glass, so that the warmth of your hand won’t transfer over to the wine and make it lukewarm. will holds the glass by the ‘bowl’, or the bulb, which is the incorrect method.

in naka choko, though, he takes the glass by the stem, pinching it with his forefinger and thumb, and even takes a whiff of it like we see hannibal do.

Janet Mock is an amazing writer and activist. Due in large part to her activism, transgender women and their rights are getting the attention they deserve. Thanks for putting the badass in intersectionality, Janet!

In honor of the first day of Women’s History Month and Super Tuesday, here are two suffrage cartoons from the Carrie Chapman Catt Collection. 

Carrie Lane Chapman Catt was an internationally recognized suffragist, feminist and political activist. The Carrie Chapman Catt Papers focus on the history of the women’s suffrage movement, with material pertaining both directly to her and to the movement as a whole. There is a wide range of material in the collection, including correspondence & memorabilia, cartoons, and photographs.

The collection contains approximately sixty editorial cartoons pertaining to suffrage which appeared in newspapers around the country from ca. 1912 to ca.1920.

All Went Well - S.Korea Fannibal Event

http://grape53g.tumblr.com/post/134971410657/skorean-fannibal-event-info

I just got news from my friends. They said everything was great, and went well.  I gave some gift? I am not sure what I can put down, Oh, donate, yes.

There may be no such thing as a magic carpet, but Argentine artist Alexandra Kehayoglou’s distinctive carpet designs will instantly transport you to another place. Her imaginative works have been described as romantic and fairytale-like woven playgrounds, imitating textures of nature like moss, sand, water, tree bark and grassy pastures, as in her “Pastureland” and “Garden” series. Kehayoglou sources her materials from the leftover scraps from her family’s carpet factory in Buenos Aires, shown here in this short video documentary about her work. One of Kehayoglou’s latest projects, titled “En los pies de Elpiniki” (At the foot of Elpiniki) is a giant, elaborately woven shoe that fantasizes about the beginnings of her family’s tradition of making carpets.

URGENT: STRAIGHT MALE ALLIES NEEDED TO SHUT DOWN LEGAL RAPE “INTERNATIONAL MEETING”

This coming Saturday, February 6, at 8pm local time, followers of “Roosh V”- noted sexist, racist, homophobic, and overall horrible monster (not a human being)- will be holding secret meetings to rally for rape to be legalized. You didn’t read this wrong THEY WANT RAPE TO BE LEGALIZED. 

This shit is dangerous af, and as they have barred anyone who isn’t male or straight, so we need all our white male allies to gather and shut this shit down. If you are a straight man of colour, please be careful. Even though the website says the meeting is for straight men of all races, the Roosh V following has also been known to be very racist and xenophobic.

Here is how the meeting will take place, as according to their website (I’m not going to link it because it does not deserve any hits, but all the info here is authentic- you may google and see for yourself):

We will have 165 meetings in 43 countries for our international meetup day on February 6, 2016 at 8PM local time. Hosts have been instructed to wait at the meeting point from 8:00-8:20pm before moving on to the final location. If you arrive at the meeting point at 8:21pm, you will miss the meetup. Arriving on time within the window is absolutely paramount.

To identify your fellow tribesmen, ask the following question to a man you suspect is there for the meetup: “Do you know where I can find a pet shop?” If you are asked this question, answer in the affirmative: “Yes, it’s right here.” You can then introduce yourself and get details about where to proceed at 8:20. If you ask someone for the pet shop and they appear confused or actually try to direct you to a real pet shop, they’re not there for the meetup.

If you are a woman, DO NOT GO, your safety is at risk. Roosh V has made it very apparent that your presence might be met with violence.

I won’t be able to attend a shut down (obvs- brown gay turban guy), but we need to shut this down ASAP. So to all my white brothers who identify as allies, now is your time to stand up and act.

I will be calling the RCMP and reporting this, make sure you report this to your local police as well.

Here is a list of all the locations where these men will come together (Roosh V himself will be at the Washington DC location):

This bullshit MUST be shut down.

[i-was-a-naive--prolifer]

Here is some more info about how to identify these creeps.

Here is the archived link to the list of locations for their meetups (your traffic won’t go toward their website)

Here is more information about the loathsome manchild and rape legalization proponent Roosh V: [x] [x] [x] [x] [x] [x] [x]

In short, here are the dirty deets:

He has advocated for rape to be legal on private property in order to teach women to “take responsibility for the things that happen to them.”

He has written a series of books about how to get women to have sex with you, including advice such as: “No” means “wait for a moment and then continue doing whatever she said no to.”

His strategy, as described by himself, “isn’t about making young men feel as though they have value. This is about making young women feel as though they have none.”

He has admitted to raping two incapacitated women in Iceland in his Bang Iceland book.

He has admitted to raping other women in two of his other books, 30 Bangs and Bang Ukraine.

He is a raging misogynist who believes women are perpetual children who must have their actions controlled by men.

He is also a raging homophobe, anti-semite, and sympathizer of men who commit mass shootings because they can’t have sex with enough women.

If you’d like to help get these jerks shut down, go and counterprotest and report them to the police! They are a hate group and should be stopped!

Any French or French speaking Fannibals

Can anyone explain to me (my French is extremely bad) why in the French subtitles Will and Hannibal are using vous to address each other right up to the cliff fall? Alana uses tu to both Hannibal and Will (as they do to her), so it’s not a blanket rule. TBH, I thought the boys would have switched to tu at some point in late S2, but as I said French is not my first or even my second language. Can anyone shed some light?

[aonohonoo]

I’m not French but I’m Spanish and the same happens in our dubbed version. As you might know, ‘vous’ in French and ‘usted’ in Spanish are treatments of courtesy. I’ve thought about this too sometimes and I think it’s difficult for the dubbers to decide when to switch to ‘tu’ when Hannibal and Will keep redefining their relationship quite constantly in the series. Those words are also a way to reflect distance between two people. It would have sounded quite strange for me to hear them call each other “tu” when Will is in prison or when they meet again after three years… Usually, when you start referring to a person as ‘tu’ you won’t go back to ‘usted’ (it wouldn’t make sense) so the change is usually a permanent one. I guess that since Alana and Will were friends and Alana had a relationship with Hannibal, ‘tu’ comes naturally for her. When Will and Hannibal start their relationship it’s a “psychiatrist-patient relationship” so it was logical to start with ‘usted’ and I guess the dubbers probably found it easier to keep it that way since they have no other indication to follow about how or when to change that. It would have been nice to hear them call each other ‘tu’ anyway ~

Hope that helped!

[sherlocks-freebitch]

That is extremely helpful and interesting, thank you! I just checked the Dutch subs (which I actually speak) and they’re using the informal address from S1 e2, but Dutch is far less formal in that regard. Thanks again!

[bonearenaofmyskull]

I’m cutting in just because I’m a literature nerd and a world literature teacher and the issue of translation is one of those things that drives me batshit bonkers when it comes to media translations today, that they don’t get the artistic devotion they deserve of a proper literary translation. At least from what I’ve seen, and especially given that they probably get translated without the translator even knowing how the season goes after that point.

Because, you know, the thing about a good translation is that it should be done not by rote mechanical copying (or, even worse, by the censorship standards that got us travesties like “murder brothers” and “Does Hannibal like me?”), but by an author-translator who’s worthy of the task through their own academic and artistic merit. 

What an interesting study it would be, in both cultural-linguistics and in literary analysis! At what point in the story would Hannibal and Will switch from the formal to the informal, and when/if they might switch back? Might one be insisting on formal while the other goes informal? How would that affect readings of the story in those languages?

How different and impactful would it make the “We are her fathers now?” scene, if that was the moment Hannibal switched from formal to informal address? 

Or in “This killer wrote you a poem, Will. Are you going to let his love go to waste?”

What about Will doing it in the deleted scene, “You’ve always been my friend?”

Would you choose “I have to deal with you, and my feelings about you?” What would that do to the implications of that scene?

And what an emphasis there could have been for the punch in the gut that “I’m more comfortable the less personal we are” was, if Will had accompanied it by switching back to formal from informal address? Especially if, by contrast, Alana and Hannibal were still using the informal? 

Granted, I’m an outsider (English-speaker) here, but I have to agree with the above statement that it’d be a shame never to hear them speak using more informal address. Obviously, it depends on the language and the culture how these things would change the meaning or emphasis in any given scene or if it would have any strange and perhaps distracting implications, but it seems such a lost opportunity to not have Hannibal’s “I let you know me, see me” come out with the intimacy of of family (especially since he’s the elder), or to miss it in “You and I have begun to blur,” and of course, “This is all I ever wanted for you, Will. For both of us.”

Anywho, I would LOVE to hear from people who speak languages with formal and informal address. How would you do it? Would you have them switch? When? Why? What would be the implications of the choices you’d make?

I haven’t watched the French version, but ‘tu’ implies a sort of equal standing and closeness. I have the impression that Will would use ‘vous’ as long as he wished to keep distance from Hannibal, to amplify that their relationship was (I don’t want to say not intimate…) professional? Clinical, a bit? So indeed, I would say yes to a switch at “I’m more comfortable the less personal we are”. 

It hurts when someone goes back to ‘vous’, because it’s like saying ‘I don’t trust you anymore’ or ‘I don’t consider you my friend anymore’. It’s a very deliberate change, not something you say in the heat of the moment, so it chills. Quite a punch in the guts, yes. 

For reasons the French version might have decided not to use ‘vous’: 

1. Using ‘tu’ could make a scene really gay (not that that’s a problem, but hey, censorship). 

In the fathers scene, using ‘vous’ would give the impression of "We are Abigail’s guardians", while ‘tu’ is more “We will marry for Abigail” or something. Like the intimacy of their relationship is tied to a daughter, like they are now on the status of equal footed spouses. It screams manipulation, but I guess that is what Hannibal was doing. It certainly ties Will to Abigail a lot stronger. 

2. Using ‘tu’ could make Hannibal seem unprofessional 

In the scene about the killer’s poem: Tu = friend’s advice, Vous = professional opinion. Using ‘tu’ would be so sincere, it would verge on insincere. Like how strangers calling you ‘dear’ or ‘honey’ seems insincere. 

I admit, to use ‘vous’ on the cliff scene is a little cold. You usually don’t pseudo-double-suicide with someone you’re still on a formal basis with. At that point in their relationship, it’s more naturally to be using ‘tu’. There are a few other key points where I can’t see them using ‘vous’, like season 2 finale or when Will breaks up with Hannibal. 

But I would have to rewatch to pinpoint where exactly they could have switched to ‘tu’.

Heh, the reasons not to have “tu” in the “We are her fathers” scene all sound like good reasons to have it to me. XD  (I mean, that’s exactly my understanding of the point of the line “We are her fathers now”–that they are on the status of equal-footed spouses, independent of and preempting any relationship they might have as psychiatrist/patient. Or, at least that’s how Hannibal wants them to be, and Will buys into it. It’s ambiguously gay in the context of S1–like it doesn’t require them to be romantically or sexually involved–but it’s still pretty gay. The whole scene reads like two parents who are arguing over their kid.)

The same with the killer’s poem scene–it definitely struck me that the tone the writers were going for was NOT professional opinion, but very much Hannibal’s personal desire to both tell Will he loved him and to have him set free. I mean, Hannibal practically tears up when he’s telling Will that he believes in the best of him and wants Will to believe in the best of Hannibal, too. 

Hannibal wouldn’t seem unprofessional if he started using “tu” in a moment of affection and kept using it from that point, would he? So, for example, if he started using it after Will turns up alive when Hannibal kills Tobias, because that was the episode where he finished realizing he wanted to be friends with Will. Wouldn’t switching to “tu” at “I was worried you were dead” be kind of…I dunno…nice? Wouldn’t it merit that little smile of affection from Will?

Maybe it’d be a little weird with Jack thinking they’re still just not officially psychiatrist-patient, and so maybe it’d be a red flag that boundaries are getting rather blurred, but on the other hand, Jack ignoring red flags is pretty much the the plot of season one, heh. 

If it is natural enough to switch to “tu” at “I was worried you were dead,” would that allow the following episode’s “We are her fathers now” conversation to have the greater manipulation and stronger-sounding bond, without being too overly obvious that it’s manipulation (for Will to notice–I’m sure the audience is supposed to notice)? Because they’ve set that precedent already, in a moment of complete sincerity?

In my mind, it seems like they ought to both be using “tu” before the end of S1, so that the betrayal (”You were just curious what I would do”) would have its maximum personal quality. Not to mention “Please don’t lie to me!”

I’m not sure what to do with S2 though. There are so many weird factors by then: Will is calling Hannibal “Hannibal” behind his back but not to his face, so he clearly thinks of him by first name basis by then. Again, I’m a noob at this, but I almost feel like “tu” could work for the “light of friendship won’t reach us for a million years, asshole” scene, although “vous” makes sense too. But what do you do with Will’s “I felt so betrayed by you” scene? He’s bringing Hannibal back on as his psychiatrist, but he’s very much playing on their personal connection for his manipulating. And thereafter they make quite a show of the formality of their relationship (largely for Chilton’s sake, I think, since he’s listening in). Will even stresses his value for following such etiquette with his exchange with Abel Gideon about them using first names since they’re now of “equal social standing.” 

But if you got back into “vous” at that point, how would you get back out of it for the season finale? It doesn’t seem like the point when Will resumes therapy and becomes Murder-Apprentice!Will is quite right for “tu,” but that they ought to be back to that point by the time they discuss Mischa (although I wouldn’t want to put the shift in that scene). Maybe when Will kills Randall and describes it as “intimate,” and then Hannibal asks him if he fantasized he was killing Hannibal instead? 

Or at “You slice the ginger”? But by that dinner, I think, one way or another. The ortolan oral sex metaphor scene definitely seems like they ought to be back to the familiar. XD

Or would it make sense to have had them at “vous” in front of other people (or when Chilton was listening), but “tu” with each other in private, during the time Will was incarcerated? (I’m still enamored of the informal address for the scene in the privacy room in “Hassun.”) There’s also the interesting detail that Will talks to Hannibal in his dream and that might make sense for “tu,” since it’s in his head. If they’ve got a different set of behaviors for public and private, then would they be back at “tu” when Hannibal is trying to talk Will down about killing Clark Ingram? 

S3 seems simple by comparison: all “tu” until Will switches back to “vous” in 309, and I can see Hannibal persisting with “tu” regardless. I’d think Will would be back to the familiar at the cliffside house, at “Now you’re here with me.”

I’m still interested in people’s opinions! Reblog with them all! I’m especially interested in comparisons across cultures–it’s not just a French or Spanish issue, after all.

Ok, french native speaker here. First point, real quick, as said in one of the first replies, you dont go back from “tu” to “vous”, you just dont. So no point in discussing that in a “what it would imply”, or “how it would make sense” way.

Now, i keep reading that “vous” creates a distance, which implies that people using it are not close. And just- that’s really not always the case. Sure, it can be used that way, you don’t walk up to somebody and talk to them using “tu”. But in certain relationships, even tho the relationship will evolve and people grow closer, they’ll still use “vous”. Lovers can still say “vous” to each other, and not just in movies set during Versailles times. Context is key!

To me, they kept the “vous” here because:

1) switching to “tu” would have been awkward without showing the awkward in itself conversation between the two characters where one asks if they can call “tu” the other. Even tho i havent watched the french version entirely (because it hurts my ears and soul) i watched a bit of it with non english speakers, and it’s a rule that the pronoun used at the beginning of the series between each of the characters will remain the same during the whole series, mostl likely for the reason that i just evoked. and also, BECAUSE THE PRONOUN IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT

2) Indeed! it does not necessarilly create distance! The reason why they did not switch to “tu” (or rather can get away with it!!) also might be because Hannibal is part of Baltimore’s high society, goes to operas etc and- calling each other “vous” is classy. Someone who havent known the man for years and years, like Alana, would probably keep call Hannibal “vous” because of his social status and personality, without it sounding weird at all even though their relationshionship has grown deeper. 

So really, if i had to make a conclusion: don’t put too much emphasis on the link and implications between “vous” and the relationship of the characters. They did a decent job translating the whole thing, but there is only so much they can do. sometimes, way sentences are phrased in english wont make sense in french or will sound very wrong; yet they still have to find a way to convey the message. 

But i hear some french speakers disagree XD @lactobacille??

So i guess you wont have a final answer to your question.

[cinabre]

This conversation interests me a lot. I’m french and I haven’t seen the show dubbed in french, but in the french subtitles, Will & Hannibal always say “vous” to each other and I think it’s perfect like that. Will DO switch something in S3: he calls Hannibal “Dr Lecter” again, instead of using his 1st name, to create distance. If he has said “tu” before, it would have sound weird to say “tu” (familiar) to someone you call “Doctor Something” (formal). I always had the impression that Hannibal would definitely say “vous” to EVERYONE except Alana, Bedelia in Florence (because of his relationship with them) and Abigail (because she has a “child” status). And the fact that he says “vous” to Will until the end doesn’t mean he’s not close to him, I agree with Ciorane on this, even on the cliff scene it doesn’t sound cold or too polite. It doesn’t minimize their affection, or the intensity of the scene. It’s just the way they are. ^^

Beijing based artist DU Kun incorporates his passion for rock music into his new oil painting series titled “Revels of the Rock Gods”. His works, which just debuted at Mizuma Gallery in Tokyo, Japan, are monumental portraits of rock musicians that appear carved out of mountains, cliffs, oceans, stones, trees and waterfalls. His first profession while he was in art school was as a rock musician himself, and has since frequently demonstrated his musical prowess. The artist began working on his “Gods of Rock Festival” series in 2014, creating the works out of his own experience with rock music.
