“If in a naturalized setting without the observer’s awareness, I may figure out patterns. Demeanor changes, shifts, and evades when the subject knows I’m evaluating,” She knows that a goddamn canned reply;; constructing a formality between them might be too late, but it’s necessary to fall upon. For all her violence under skin, she protects, all they have is glass and questions and dead girls (and she’s seen the results of his rampage;;
and her pale gaze avoids the charcoal because each stroke heralds past history of affection). Yet, her exhale is softer than it ought, “I am aware that … was circumstantial in Crawford’s selection.” Her eyes still harden to chipped ice at the thought, chosen for beauty and not mind.
“Do you think I’m still observing you?”
Lecter lowered his gaze to observe Clarice’s hands rather than her face. He did not hold any interest in the trainee’s rehearsed FBI lingo. Attempts to overshadow all the complexity and detail hidden beneath her skin FRUSTRATED him. If they were to be sitting at his dinner table he might have even considered her detachment RUDE. Alas, the atmosphere they had their little MEETINGS in discouraged familiarity. What a shame. ❛ Far from me to tell you how to do your work, Agent Starling, ❜ The cannibal replied before meeting the young woman’s gaze again. ❛ I would assume Jack Crawford to do a better job playing that role. ❜ One long index finger paused caressing his sketch’s jawline to rest upon the subject’s THROAT. ❛ Does it bother you? Having others watching you? Feeling Jack’s eyes digging into your flesh like fish hooks? Never being picked due to your academic prowess but due to how shiny your set of scales is? ❜ There is a pause. Dangling a bait before his eyes, hoping Lecter would bite was terribly CHILDISH of Crawford. ❛ He too must have wondered how you taste. ❜ Lecter was aware of the INDECENT implications of his last sentence. But he required Clarice’s attention. A pretty smile and according-to-procedure chit-chat weren’t enough to keep Hannibal Lecter ENTERTAINED.
i go by the alias of coffee mainly because i'm ashamed of the graveyard of RP blogs i've left behind. i am 20+ and my first language is not english. i am currently doing a post-graduation on illustration meaning i have a lot of drawings i need to get done and that my activity levels on this blog highly depend on me being a procrastinating trashcan.
disclaimer
i am in no way associated with thomas harris or bryan fuller. i am not claiming hannibal lecter as my own invention. this blog exists merely for entertainment purposes. however all written material / graphics / icons have been edited by me. please do not use what is mine without my permission.
this blog is not spoiler free.
selective
this is a selective blog. i don't always follow back but that doesn't in any way mean i dislike you or the contents found in your blog. i mainly follow blogs i can see lecter interacting with. i absolutely love OCs and will likely follow as long as there's enough available information on them and do enjoy interacting with different fandoms. i must warn you though i'm not up-to-date / have never watched most of the popular shows people discuss here on tumblr ( supernatural, dr. who, ouat, teen wolf, etc. )
i will block non-RP blogs. unless i am familiar with the person running them i do not feel comfortable having people outside the RP community reblogging my edits / writing material. i do not follow blogs based on youtubers / celebrities. i would not advise anyone under the age of 16 to follow this blog.
nsfw / triggering
the subjects presented in hannibal include, but are not limited to: mental illness, violence, gore, abuse and drug use. i will tag all threads that get too explicit. i don't usually post graphic imagery and I don't think you'll ever find anything that may SHOCK an average hannibal series / movie / book fan.
however if you ever find something you'd like to see tagged within this blog, just contact me and i'll see i get it fixed.
hate / drama
i don't participate in tumblr drama nor do i particularly care for it. i will unfollow people who fuel drama or have a tendency to vague blog. roleplaying is a fun creative outlet for me. that being said if you dislike the content found within this blog, please, feel free to unfollow. last thing i want is to make anyone feel uncomfortable.
i welcome constructive criticism and my IM is always open to mutuals, but i will not publish or respond to rude anonymous asks.
portrayal
this blog takes inspiration mainly from NBC'S HANNIBAL but may also include some MOVIE ELEMENTS. sadly i have yet to finish reading thomas harris' work.
i completely understand if people are unhappy with the tv series. and with a possible season 4 on the way i am both excited and very fearful. there might be some CANON-DIVERGENT aspects to be found within this blog. i will never IMPOSE ANY SHIPS on you, and i hope you may do the same for me. people are free to interpret relationship dynamics in different ways and they're not all necessarily romantic within the NBC universe.
threads
if i do make a starter call and end up writing you a starter, PLEASE DO WARN ME IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REPLY TO IT or if you're unhappy with the starter or if there's anything in particular you'd like to have occuring in the starter. i tend to write PARAS and although i am incapable of writing one-liners unless they are crack focused just know this : you do not have to match the length of my threads.
I LOVE MEMES and i think they're an excellent way for characters to interact without going through the whole awkward introduction phase. I ALSO LOVE PLOTTING. if i am following you, i want to plot with you. i'll be sure to contact you if i ever spot something interesting in your wishlist or if i have any cool scenarios i'd like to discuss with you. i only hope you do the same for me. ♥
PRE-SERIES EVENTS // Dr. Lecter has yet to be introduced to Jack Crawford by Alana Bloom. In this verse Hannibal Lecter has recently abandoned his former profession as a surgeon to become a psychiatrist. It's refreshing to start over. His office's door is always open to new patients.
SEASON 1 //; Verse in which Dr. Hannibal Lecter has initiated his work with the FBI while still maintaining his position as a respected psychiatrist. His unethical dishes are still consumed and flattered and although his gruesome practices have been at play for a very long time, his secret is still well hidden from the public and those closest to him.
SEASON 2 // Verse in which Hannibal incriminates Will Graham, forcing the special agent to take credit for the gruesome murders which they had once investigated together. But as time goes by more people have begun to wonder if Lecter really is just a concerned doctor or a monster in man's skin.
SEASON 3 : PART I // Verse in which Hannibal Lecter has managed to escape to hide in Italy with Bedelia Du Maurier. Assuming a fake identity and working as a curator proves to be rather easy. Slowly it starts to feel like home again. But his gruesome practices continue and as Lecter loses his “murdering ethical code” more eyes and ears turn to him. The manhunt begins once again.
SEASON 3 : PART II // Verse in which Hannibal has surrendered to the FBI. He is incarcerated in Baltimore's State Hospital for the Criminally Insane under Dr. Alana Bloom’s care. The media refer to him as Hannibal the Cannibal. He is allowed very few freedoms in his new home but still, Lecter always finds a way to keep himself entertained.
POST-SEASON 3 // After Will Graham pulled Hannibal Lecter into what was thought to be certain death, the serial killer somehow managed to survive the fall and dragged the special agent back to safe land. Authorities are currently looking for both of them, but Lecter will make sure Will Graham doesn't spoil their new-found freedom.
HARRY POTTER AU // A pure-blood wizard mainly responsible for over-seeing the mental well-being of Azkaban's inmates. Although he is a rather discreet and polite individual at first glance, a few of his colleagues have begun to wonder where his true alliance lies since he seems to sympathize with many of the practicers of the dark arts. Truth be told, Hannibal Lecter couldn't care less about one's bloodline. He does whatever he finds "aesthetically pleasing".

BASICS
"I see him as one of those pitiful things, sometimes born in hospitals. They feed it, keep it warm, but they don’t put it on the machines. They let it die. But he doesn’t die. He looks normal and nobody can tell what he is."

AESTHETICS
"My dear Will, you must be healed by now... on the outside at least, I hope you're not too ugly. What a collection of scars you have. Never forget who gave you the best of them, and be grateful, our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real. We live in a primitive time, don't we, Will? Neither savage nor wise. Half measures are the curse of it, any rational society will either kill me or put me to some use. Do you dream much, Will? I think of you often. Your old friend, Hannibal Lecter."
