Small LFCC 2017 Round Up!

Oh goodness what a wonderful day!

So my Mads photo was the first thing on the agenda. Last time I managed to really fuck it up so I was determined it would be better this time (my photo from LFCC last time went in a box and has never seen the light of day, Mads looks wonderful in it though) and IT DOES! I’m happy to share it this time around! 

He saw my crown and did his “OMG IT’S A FANNIBAL” face (which you must go to a general con to see, it’s priceless and beautiful), shook my hand (which I think is lovely) and we did the standard hug because it’s the least risky thing for me!

I waited for my autos until super late to psych myself up, I’m usually not very good at them, I don’t like talking while they’re writing because if it was me, I’d fuck up the writing so, I just kind of tend to leave them to it.

I got my Hannibal SDCC funko signed which completes my set! I have a Will signed by Hugh and Bryan and a Hannibal signed by Mads and Bryan!

So, the bit you probably want to hear about is the photo. So basically after last year we were pretty determined that firstly, a group photo with him is a lovely addition to the weekend, and secondly, he wants to do it. However, this year they clamped down on photos at the auto desk so hard. Every guest had a “no photos” sign and I mean, Mads had one last year but he ignored it, this time he was much better behaved but did cause the security guards a little bit of grief from what I heard.

Essentially I said, lets just hang around the autos from 4 and see what happens. We waited and waited and waited. 

We got some good information about the right place to stand (we were told which exit he’d be leaving from) and I was like, “lets just get a group photo of us anyway at the right time and he’ll have the opportunity to jump in if he wants.”

And of course he did…

(Original Post) He ran away from the security guard and jogged over to us all, at which point not only did the cameras we set up to take the photo but basically 10 other people started taking photos of us all.

Pretty much a second after this all happened I found out the person that took that photo of us all runs the conventions, so after hours of worrying we’d get into trouble with the organizers for it (or worse, Mads would get into trouble) I’m so pleased it all worked out so well.

The guy who runs the conventions said that Mads is a total gent and a pleasure to work with, so as long as scheduling works out, I am sure LFCC 2017 won’t be Mads’ last one!

Another year and I couldn’t fault him. He works hard and makes every person feel special and like he’s there just for them. And honestly the way his little face lights up when he sees fannibals, it’s wonderful. By the end of Sunday he did look tired and was a little unwell but that’s what happens when you shake thousands of hands in a weekend I suppose, bless him he didn’t stop shaking peoples hands though! 

Here’s a quick snap of this years goodies! (Yes I bought another alpaca but they were only £6 for the huge ones because they were massively discounted down at the end of the day! The little splodge is my Stitch enamel pin, better photo on twitter.)

[fragile-teacup]

Hello lovelies! To celebrate reaching 1500 followers, I’m having a goodies giveaway!!

My lovely mum has donated her beloved copy of RAW (the first Hannibal Fanthology) and her ‘eat your heart out’ pin! In addition, there’s a copy of the Hannibal Musical booklet, which contains all the lyrics as well as beautiful illustrations by many of our wonderful Fannibal artists. I’m also giving away a roll of @cinabre’s fabulous Wendigo tape AND one of each of @axmxz‘s utterly gorgeous Snannibal and Snannigram stickers! Oh, and not forgetting a copy of the Bo Concept catalogue featuring our darling Mads on the cover. Finally, there’s a flyer for Radiance which, when it comes out in October, is going to be just as glorious as RAW! (And if you haven’t yet pledged, check out the @radiance-anthology blog or just go straight to the Radiance Kickstarter page and take a look. The book is going to be AWESOME and there are some absolutely killer rewards and stretch goal goodies to be had! So please consider supporting the project if you haven’t already. Let’s show Bryan that the Fannibal fandom is stronger and more united than ever!)

I will run this giveaway until July 15 (which is also the Radiance Kickstarter deadline!) and it’s open to everyone, with three conditions: you must be a true Fannibal (no collectors of giveaway posts, please), you must be following me (new followers are welcome, of course!) and you must be 18+ (because no one under 18 should be following me).

All these goodies will go to one winner!

Only reblogs will count as entries, though likes would be appreciated as well. You may reblog up to five times in all, with each reblog counting as an entry, but please space them out so that people’s dashes don’t get spammed!

And finally, I would just like to say how much I adore you all, this amazing fandom of ours, Bryan, Mads, Hugh and the whole Hannibal family. May we soon be blessed with Season 4!

(If I ever reach 2000 followers, I’ll do another fic giveaway, but at the moment I’m up to my eyes in writing for the Big Bang, so please forgive me!)

All love,

Teacup

I HIT 800 FOLLOWERS: TIME FOR A HANNIBAL GIVEAWAY!!!

I said I’d do a giveaway when I reached 500 followers earlier this year, but I was too broke, so let’s do one now instead!

I write repeatedly about how much this fandom means to me, and I really mean it. If I saw you guys every day, forever, etc etc. SO I have some goodies for you, mostly art but also some other things, and there will be two fabulous winners!

First Prize:

A selection of Hannibal art including…

1 x ‘The Brides of Hannibal’ poster

1 set of ‘Fannibal Forever’ postcard prints, ft. 6 designs

1 x Hanniversary menu card from the NYC Fannibal dinner. Only a few dozen of these were printed and this is the only one left!

Other assorted art goodies!

1 x adorable Kaecilius Dorbz figure. It’s so cute I want to steal it, but I’ll refrain…

Almost certainly some other pretty things, I just haven’t decided what yet because I’m too excited!!

Second Prize:

1 x ‘Brides of Hannibal’ poster, because it’s my favorite. 

Maybe some other stuff?! 

The (Teacups and Time and the) Rules (of Disorder):

You gotta be following me (if you have a main/side blog situation going on, you can note it in the comments).

Reblogs and likes each count as one entry. You can have up to three entries total in the pot, so don’t spam people. 

No giveaway blogs, please and thank you.

I will ship anywhere.

Obviously I’ll need your address if you win, so ask your parents before entering if you’re a bairn (i.e. under 18).

The giveaway ends July 16th at 9pm ET (because that’s the anniversary of Digestivo, aka one of my favorite episodes!)

The winners will be randomly selected shortly thereafter and notified, so you must have your ask/messages enabled if you win. If a winner doesn’t respond within 3 days, they forfeit the prize and another winner will be selected.

Have some good, funny times… Good luck!

WHEN TWO POLAR OPPOSITE KILLING MACHINES MET…

It has been eight months since I committed the most devastatingly gargantuan error in the entirety of my career - agreeing to be Mr. Wilson’s therapist…

As I suspected, he turned out to be irredeemable.

  I must admit, I had sliced out his tongue but it grew back with a vengeance, criticizing me in every manner. He criticized my culinary skills…

He criticized my art… and went too far with destroying it, mercilessly…

And he criticized my therapy techniques.

I am the Chesapeake Ripper, Il Mostro, Hannibal the Cannibal, yet, I am affected immensely.

He is watching me as I write this. I had to declare a recess mid-session to vent my frustrations, as he has, a few moments back, admitted that he has stolen my samurai sword.

In the end, I must admit, he does grow on you. One may say like a pest, the kind you learn to live with ‘cause you cannot kill it. But to me, he has become a friend of sorts - an uninvited, extremely bothersome friend. And, above all, he makes my Will laugh…

Yes, I have grown fond of him. If one may try to harm my foolish friend, I’d have their heart on a platter. ~ Hannibal Lecter

Anything But Love

A 444 word short fic written for @idontfindyouthatinteresting‘s Hanniversary Challenge. My chosen episode is The Number of the Beast is 666. HAPPY H4NNIVERS4RY!!

‘Is Hannibal… in love with me?’

Realisation dawns, cracking the certainty Will has worn like armour for years. Hannibal wants to manipulate me, make me his creature. But love? An absurd concept, one that Will has chased away whenever it’s attempted to creep into his consciousness. Call it anything: obsession, fascination, fixation. Anything but love.

‘Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for you…’

Mind and pulse racing in tandem, Will thinks back over all they’ve shared. Like protein scramble. Chicken soup. Lomo saltado. Ortolans. Long looks and lingering smiles. Seven-thirty conversations over wine or whiskey. Impromptu kitchen visits with coffee or dessert for two. And other things. Like intellectual superiority. Fatherhood. Inner darkness. Call it anything: manipulation, baiting, the thrill of the hunt. Anything but love.

‘…and feel nourishment at the very sight of you?’

Suddenly it hurts to breathe, to move. Over the years, so many separations. So many times they’ve stared at each other through barriers real and imagined. Between bars. Behind glass. Across the vast metaphysical expanse of a shared memory palace. Rent asunder by betrayals, moral certitude, bands of gold, yet always, always drawn back together. Call it anything: conditioning, co-dependence, enabling. Anything but love.

'Yes.’

A sound pushes up through Will’s larynx. Laugh, scream or whimper? He forces it down. Casts around desperately, grasps at a fragment of an old song and clutches it for balance.

Love is the light scaring darkness away.

So Hannibal rescued him from Cordell’s scalpel and surrendered to Jack. So there’s a light in Hannibal’s eyes and softness in his voice reserved exclusively for Will. So he’s the only person in the world who looks into Will, sees his shadowed soul and thinks it beautiful. Call it anything: selfishness, egoism, narcissism. Anything but love.

Yet Will knows there’s another side, another story. Hospital vigils and tender touches. Tearful apologies for shattered teacups. Equations and machinations to fix what cannot be mended. Exquisite gentleness alongside the violence. Confessions so romantic, they’re branded on Will’s heart.

'But do you ache for him?’

Impossible to reply. To allow the word to spill, in shuddering release long withheld, would mean surrendering the blissful pretence of ignorance. So Will sits, frozen, with stinging eyes and rising, suffocating, horrifying longing. For a man who trails bodies like confetti. A man with a many-headed monster on his back: Il Mostro, Chesapeake Ripper, Copycat Killer. A man who has redefined what it means to love and be loved.

Love is danger, love is pleasure.

The die is cast. Fates, like lovers, intertwine as tentatively Will reaches out and grasps the fragile truth.

I can deny it’s anything. Anything but love.

Also on AO3. Kudos/comments would be hugely appreciated! <3

One of my favourite moments, beautifully captured 😍😍😍

[keepwalkingortakeadifferentroad]

My contribution for Hannibal’s 4th Birthday. As I have no self-control when it comes to sweets and my baking skills aren’t that great, I decided to bake biscuits instead ^^ They are filled with apricot or red currant jam. Unfortunately, some biscuits burst in the oven and the tray looked quite bloody 😂

[hungry-chapscher]

My contribution for Hannibal’s 4th birthday/submission for baking competition.

The bottom tier is a chocolate cake with coffee mousse, raspberry, and Bavarian cream fillings. The top tier is a lavender butter cake with a honey buttercream filling. The entire cake is covered in vanilla buttercream frosting and splattered with a homemade raspberry jam. The roses and re-creation of Hannibal’s bronze elk centerpiece are hand-crafted from sugar (well, isomalt). The cake is also adorned with lilies, rose leaves, pheasant feathers, and a peacock feather. Hannibal and Will Pop! figures posed for scale (and for cute)
