Kick's 2025 Hannibal Fic Rundown

It's been a rough year, but I'm pretty proud of what I've managed to write.

Current WIP: The Only Form of Permanence (E, 32k words and counting) A time travel make-it-worse fic set in multiple versions of season one. I've legit read at least four books and several essays researching this one, and I'm having a fuckin blast with it—worth every minute of trying to decipher Borges and Bergson. 😂

Longest fic: Keeping Myself Alive Through Your Empathy (E, 34.5k words) Second part of the Caches series, a post-fall recovery fic featuring a serial killer OC and also Villanelle because I love her and why the fuck not. Also lots of Will topping because it's hot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most Cathartic Fic: To Her the Hunted, Not the Hunter (T, 11.8k words) Season 2, post-BSHCI with Trans Will Graham, disability themes, and confronting mommy issues. Had big big feelings about this one, and I'd say it's the (completed) fic I'm most proud of.

Aaaaand the smut!

Fling Yourself Down and Writhe (E, 3k) Bondage fic with some grimy clothed frotting.

For Pleasure Fall (E, 3.4k) Will Graham gets horny about leather and silk.

Next year I plan to keep up my posting schedule for my current WIP and hopefully throw some more smut into the mix! I also would like to wrap up a TMA fic that I've neglected this year (sorry fellow TimGerry fans—it's not abandoned 💜).

See y'all soon!

a MANGAL is a swamp whose soil concentrates high amounts of salt and very low amounts of oxygen, supporting little else than mangrove trees

a PEATLAND is a wetland whose soil concentrates decaying organic matter, becoming peat

[big-smiling-monkey]

Oh yeah baby, keep coming at me with watery environmental states

[litafordvsferrari]

You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

[lesbiansforboromir]

everyone stop reblogging this I hate to be reminded of my own good advice

[quasi-normalcy]

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

[quasi-normalcy]

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

[quasi-normalcy]

#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

[quasi-normalcy]

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.

[lethotep]

It's important to have at least two blorbos that fit into specific roles in your life

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and ask yourself what they would do in a situation, and draw motivation from them on how to be better and stronger!

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and remind yourself that no matter what happens, you probably aren't going to fuck your shit up as much as they did even if you actively tried

[we-are-making-it-up-as-we-go]

These are in order Hannibal Lecter and Hannibal Lecter

[ml-nolan]

Hell yeah.

[phaeton-flier]

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

[phaeton-flier]

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

[theaudientvoid]

[centrally-unplanned]

Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.

And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.

[theabigailthorn]

love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears

This is why I have TikTok

[amygdalae]

As a bisexual person I'm keenly aware of how such stereotypes are inevitably harmful to us, but unfortunately when I see bisexuals in fiction who are Evil and stylish and fuck like champions I can't help but go "oh work" for a sec. It's a difficult conundrum
