I had a dream meme absolutely no one is gonna want

I nonetheless felt obliged to document it

We (me and whatever tertiary group is Around in my dreamscape) were in a barn, as happens often. A Vidwindow popped up, a Vidwindow being this thing from ReBoot that...well, it’s a video window. It floats in the air and has video. There was an animated deer on it.

Someone to my left

said

“Have you seen this? Some of these Clara memes are pretty good.”

So we watched it (I fully cop to tracing very badly over a pic of a fawn from Nat-Geo for this btw, I have no idea why I did this on paper and not in Sai)

“This is Clara”, the meme said.

“Clara is sick”, the meme said, as the deer’s head lowered and she started frothing laboriously, the froth looking like dirty cotton. I can’t draw the impact, but I don’t have to, because I know exactly the image from my hard drive it was drawing from:

...but in the other direction, and a deer. The meme concluded,

“SOON CLARA WILL BE RABIES.”

It might have been “have rabies”, because I had a knee-jerk reaction of “if you’re frothing it means you HAVE it”, but it’s not like I can go back and check the footage.

On the personal note, I gasped and went OH NO and reached to my right to give one my characters a side-hug with reassuring pats, on account of rabies is a Thing with one of my characters.

After that, the dream went back into some kind of interactive quicksand valley card game RPG and eventually ended up in one of my old churches, I don’t know, the usual stuff. But there it is. There’s my “I dreamed this was the new meme”.

I’m SORRY.

Have you ever watched the Hannibal series (the newer one)? It can be a little cheesy at times but you might dig Hannibal and Will’s dynamic. They remind me of Wilson and Maxwell in some sense

Okay, so here is the singular thing:

These two will always be my OG Hannibal OTP. Possibly unpopular opinion, I don't know. My God, how long I have loved them. Garage sale VHS long. Silence of the Lambs is a very favored movie by one of my OCs, and she was rather put out that Anthony Hopkins was not reprising his role at the time, in an expression of my own deep, deep longing for a full series of Iconic Murder Husband.

(She also eats people. And we all go ssst 'cause it's so hot good god damn Mr. Hopkins and Mz. Foster class! act! so! good! pecs jesus)

But once I got over that, I fully embraced Murder Husbands 2.0!

They ABSOLUTELY have the dynamic, except if my Maxwell brought Woundson food in his sensory-controlled autist den (A++++++ scene, life-sustaining, This Shit Everything About It), it would be dubiously cooked and also slung directly at his head with "EAT DAMMIT" and a snarky slapfight would ensue. Hannibal has endless restraint and patience, and Maxwell is more like Wilson than he likes to let on--he gets bored easily and is a curious man, and despite the chess mastery, he's impulsive, doesn't think too far ahead. He's not unintelligent, but, well...nobody's Lecter but Lecter.

(Lecter is on tier with Freddy, Mikey, and Jason for humanity. Maxwell retains more personhood by way of not having a body count, and by way of getting body horror'd for his actions. I Have Opinions About Killer Psychology, Excuse Me)

I will admit that I have only seen a little of Hannibal, I'm not even through the first season--this is because for awhile, I was watching it with my fiance, we ran into timing issues and started watching other things, that song and dance. That keeps me from claiming true ship status, probably, but it's something I'm working on remedying. I have deeply enjoyed every moment I've seen, and fully plan on watching the series in full, I just need to open up time for it.

It doesn't help that I started watching during what my friends/relatives call "the black hole period" after my describing it as such, an extremely affected span of years after my mother passed where I really wasn't taking in much at all because grief is able to block out many suns--even these dark stars.

(All of them. Like, damn these two are great, but I always loved Fishburne on CSI, Raul Esparza is incredible whatever he's in, I understand Gillian Anderson and Eddie Izzard I have yet to get to, just...Jesus this CAST)

I'd say I'll be ready for it once I finish hyperfocusing on the last AGDQ and once I get some words down on paper for my Maxwell/Woundson so I don't get character seep right when I'm finally seeing them straight on again, it's been a hot second but they're finally back IC, totally, in my head, and I want to grab that while I can. Then I can have precious reward of hot neurotic meets hot psychotic and oh god no why are there deer

(Three of my favorites!)

tl;dr: I love, I agree, I'm behind, I want more. Thank you for reminding me, I'm pushing this one up The Big Media List!

As a thank you:

From I think October? My Hannibal is the oldschool one, new one is my sister's, they both protect precious son.

Thank you for the great ask!

This didn’t happen but it still makes a whole gosh darned load of sense, as far as character arcs go
