I did not envision you would stoop so low as to being owned, Dr. Lecter

Have I been debased through marriage? I think not. I am not owned, but reverently and blissfully captured by a higher form of beauty.

@ilmaritodelmostro has been elevated to his rightful status as my worthy deity. I am more than happy to prostrate myself in worship.

As a psychiatrist, what did Hannibal think of the so-called "Satanic Panic" of the 70's and 80's? Did he consider it to be mass hysteria and/or involving people with their own agendas?

Honestly? Mass hysteria and gross incompetence. People see what they want to see. I do find the chaos that followed to be highly amusing. May I offer two podcast episodes that cover the topic (both blending the historical timeline, the facts, and absurdist humor)?

The first is The Dollop on Satan and Proctor & Gamble, here.

The second is My Favorite Murder's podcast on the McMartin Pre-School, here.

Has Hannibal ever seen the musical Damn Yankees? Frasier Crane describes it as a "frothy musical adaptation of the Faustian myth" 😂

Indeed I have! And that description feels very apt. Asking the devil for anything you desire and getting it as well as damnation (in various forms) holds a special place in my heart.

Has the Murder Family heard about the Russian serial killer and alleged cannibal Tamara Samsonova? She was arrested in 2015 and was called the "Granny Ripper" and "Grannyball Lecter" by the press.

Masterful. I am most pleased. Brava to her.

your name and bio kills me every time I see it, thanks for making my day ❤︎

Yours as well, my friend. 💙

Intriguing that you’ve named me. Might I assume there is an ‘a’ anon, if I am to be ‘b’?

I also can’t help but wonder. Your quote speaks of neutrality, yes, but it also speaks of cowardice; may I assume you find my anonymity cowardly?

There was indeed an 'a anon' who wrote to me during my incarceration. He called himself my Avid Fan. He also called himself the Great Red Dragon. My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting him in person. Sadly, he did not live up to expectations.

Neutrality and cowardice do not necessarily go together in my mind. Dante may have harsher standards than myself. Yet I would warn that if you wish to live up to any standards you set forth, be sure to appease my beloved spouse. I am their property after all.

I hope the murder family continues to be safe and fully vaccinated, having received their booster shots? Tell me, how would Hannibal respond to the anti-vaccine crowd?

*sighs*

I am very glad to be sharing my life with well-informed and reasonable people. It helps that they are scientifically inclined and empathetic. We are indeed vaccinated and have received boosters as needed.

To those who are hesitant for vaccinate due to the accelerated pace for development and distribution, their concerns are valid. For those who feel that it is their right to choose whether or not to be vaccinated, that is also valid. To those who demonize the opposite side of the argumentative spectrum from their own opinion... I am collecting business cards from both camps.

I will admit it was easier to hunt with @ilmaritodelmostro and @blessedxsilence during quarantine... We knew people were home...
