#but like. shes the clarice

[squeeneypod]

anyway the character that brings out the most fun in elias as a character is basira send tweet

#tma #the magnus archives #she gets overshadowed in this area (as in many) due to fan shipping #but like. shes the clarice #shes the most active in choosing to take his word despite knowing hes fucking with her #jon did it with the anonymous letters but basira did it while secretly visiting him in prison #because he's preying on her need to be Active in a way that jon has but not nearly as much #jon is the guy he chose because he fit the bill basira is the one he calls Detective because he thinks its Fun #melanie is close second because shes actively trying to kill him on a regular basis #but i guess these two in particular things dont allow for comfortable fan shipping for Obvious Reasons and are therefore pushed to the side #for more boring and ooc options

Thinking about a universe where the show Hannibal and the book Hannibal both take place if I was Jack Crawford and two of my three proteges ran off with Hannibal fucking Lecter I'd wonder if it was a me issue and not a Hannibal issue

It's impossible to say how many roses he bought me. Roses spilled onto the ground as I went. If I've ever been pretty, it was on that early Paris morning with roses overflowing from my full-to-the-brim arms.

Clarice Lispector, Too Much of Life: The Complete Crônicas (January 6, 1968)

#clarice lispector #literature #so last halloween my bestie and i got a lil drunk and ended up at the new-ish strand outpost on the uws #because the only thing better than a sober purchase is a completely blitzed one #and i drunkenly YANKED the complete cronicas AND the short stories off the shelf and tottered off to the cashier #so i'm holding about two thousand pages worth of clarice at this point #and my friend is equally sloshed but she's like 'how are you going to get all this back to atlanta? i saw your bergdorf bags!' #me: 'no it's fine it's fine i will read clarice. on the plane. in my neeew heaaadbaaands.' #anyway my advice to all of you is never bring a book over 600 pages on a plane #i think i tore a nerve #the atlanta airport is the hub of the world which sounds nice #but it's not a cute little hallmark channel airport where you can feasibly run for the train with 5 pounds of books in your arms #regrets...i've had a few

Clarice Starling & Dr Lecter after attending an opera.

Hannibal: Do you want to go out for a drink, love?

*Clarice adjusts his bow tie and smoothes out a crease in his shirt. She feels him draw in a sharp breath as her hand moves lower.*

Clarice: Not today. I've got a thousand things in my mind what I'd like to do with you tonight instead...

absolutely in love with how many elements from the TSOTL novel, "Clarice" adapted and explored. Like.. you'd have no idea what "How does it feel to be so beautiful?" meant UNLESS you read the novel.

#series: clarice #movie: the silence of the lambs #we were absolutely robbed man #im rereading the book whilst watching the series and everytime im like “HEY!!” #i SO appreciate a show that does its homework #again i say #all the best shows get cancelled and it's stupid #clarice starling #catherine martin #rebecca breeds #hannibal lecter #hannibal #clannibal #ardelia mapp #the book was better #in this case the book actually is better #not better than the show tho #id say they're pretty evenly matched in my enjoyment of them #i love how in depth we get into clarice's past and ptsd we get in the book #and all of that gets built upon in the series #“reesy something's happened to daddy” #AND THE HELMET THING SHE FOUND IN THE BARN??? #youd have no idea

[mvrcetune]

me when i see some hannibal fans saying that silence of the lambs was unmemorable and not that interesting:

#clarice starling #silence of the lambs #jodie foster #sotl #the disrespect some of them have on my girlboss is unacceptable #nobody disrespect the it girl like that #she did not go through all that trauma for nothing #the audacity to say that tho

Remaking my first gifset exactly two years later.

#its still nowhere near the caliber I want to be making gifs at #but it's miles better than that first set I did #my gifs #ga gifs #xf gifs #maybe I should do this every two years #just to see how much I've improved #also this is the most clarice starling she looks throughout the whole series #like you can clearly see their vision with her in how they styled her in this moment #I love all her cute little smiles #the way she's clearly trying to impress everyone - trying to joke and stuff

What if I wrote a Clarice Starling character analysis fic? what then?

#clarice starling #silence of the lambs #fanfic #thespookybean14 #like I’ve been wanting to do it for awhile #I literally made a timeline of her story like three or four years ago at fifteen years old because I was thinking about it that much #also the dynamics with her mom??? the way she was sent to live with relatives at ten years old? #the way I know she probably felt so much guilt because she couldn’t look after her three siblings #also I get to analyze her summer job as a counselor at a rehab center before she became a trainee #I’m definitely going to be upset when I write that bit #you ever think about the fact she probably might still think about those kids she tried to help #also I get to analyze her relationship with her siblings too :( #by the way if anyone wants to see that timeline I’ll gladly dm you it #the way I’m also excited to discuss teenager and college Clarice fr #she’s such a comfort character to me #I swear I’ll shut up #spooky faves

Thomas Harris is not an eldest daughter but I think he truly understands us if he had the vision to make Clarice Starling an eldest daughter

MAYORHOLIDAYMAYORHOLIDAY MAYORHOLIDAY MAYORHOLIDAY MAYORHOLIDAY MAYORHOLIDAY MAYORHOLIDAY MAYORHOLIDAYMAYO-

I'm so normal about the Holiday family I swear you guys

Here's Clarice Holiday(forget the tiny Mayor Holiday drawing I did waaay back when and ALSO forget that I called her Carol)

I have SO many thoughts about her guys. First of all, let's talk Abt her design. It's OBVIOUSLY based off Queen without making it TOO on the nose to look like her, just subtle things: the beauty mark, the 'heels', wine/battery acid, the chair (WHICH I THINK IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE WHOLE THING), and of course, the shoulder pads

Holiday Family photo :]

Also keep reading if you wanna hear some of my takes on Clarice :)

I think Clarice is probably pretty lacking when it comes to the emotion department but I DO think she has them!! They're just very repressed on account on trying to make others believe she ALWAYS knows what she's doing.

For example, with Noelle, they're not the closest but Clarice DOES care for her daughter, she would do anything for her, it's just hard for her to express those feelings, more so after Dess disappeared and Clarice just threw herself into her work as a way to cope with the loss. By the time she realized that there was a HUGE gap in her relationship with Noelle, she didn't know how to fix it and pretends nothing is wrong.

She cares for Noelle and wishes they were closer and pushing her in school and being tough on her is a way of showing her love, she wants Noelle to be successful and to toughen up so no one steps all over her anymore (inadvertently while stepping all over Noelle)

She also wants to make more time for Noelle but it's hard bc of her job. She knows that she's closer to Rudy than she is to her and that is partly her fault but again, has no idea how to go about fixing that

With her and Rudy. I think Clarice moved to Hometown when she was a teenager (Asgore and Rudy lives there their entire lives) and her and Rudy did like each other but were young, people told them they were a cute couple and basically were expecting them to get together so they subconsciously did.

Rudy always loved Asgore but never realized his feelings till like, AFTER college and Asgore and Toriel got together and then, it was too late (Asgore realized he loved Rudy I think while he was dating Toriel but was confused bc he still loved Toriel as well). Clarice and Rudy both don't love each other romantically currently, they realized their true feelings a WHILLLLEE ago but stay together (bc of Noelle, Rudy's current condition, public appearances, etc) They do care deeply for one another, just not like that

Also, I did some math and if Kris and the gang are all 15-16 and Asriel is 19, the Spelling Bee took place in about 3rd grade (the word 'December' is a 3rd grade level difficulty), that means the OLDEST December could've been when she disappeared was 12

TWELVE????? BRUH THAT'S A LITTLE BABY 😭😭😭😭

#deltarune #mayor holiday #clarice holiday #carol holiday #(tagging it bc ik some ppl have that as her name) #rudy holiday #noelle holiday #berdly deltarune #queen deltarune #dess holiday #december holiday #my art #hope u like my deisgn for her #bc i love it sm #:°°°°) #i dont think shes a bad person or anythinf #just flawed like everyone else #she tries to be a good mom but im sure being mayor is easier to her so she unconsciously treats being a mom like being the mayor #so kinda dictator-y #but like #i dont think shes bad #shes gotta learn brah

maybe like four blogs ago i wrote the most insane book-focused meta about will as john the baptist and starling as a sacrificial christ figure who becomes one with god in a way john cannot and is absorbed in the process of her apotheosis—but the point is the story is about her and will’s only the forerunner, the prologue. like, i love hannibal the show and will graham is my favorite unhinged wet dog, but i’m still a little bitter starling’s story was dissected and given predominately to a male character instead of fuller just coming up with something unique for will and hannibal.

what’s most interesting to me about them has always been will’s fundamental inability to handle the work that he was asked to do and that everyone knew this but they kept asking because he’s so Special—whereas starling could handle it, being clever and hard-working and exceptional at compartmentalization, but was never allowed to do so because she wouldn’t compromise herself to get ahead. it’s stings because gender is precisely why they ended up where they did; the horror and violence of gender is so thematically significant and inextricable to the series for me. will caught hannibal almost by accident in the books. hannibal caught starling not by devising a trap for her or gaslighting her (that came later) but simply because the systemic misogyny she faced pushed her out of her career and her life, and her contempt for the corruption of system grew and grew and crystallized inside her until she was forced to make a choice—shoot the dirty cop or let hannibal be eaten by the pigs—and in making it she revealed the truth of herself: that she believed she was above the law, above the broken system, above the men who uphold it. that choice drove her straight to hannibal. he didn’t have to do anything at all to isolate her. she came for him; he just had to wait.

#clarice starling #like… we lost something #hannibal/starling is the most monster romance entrapment horror love story of all time #the simultaneous feeling of triumph when she shoots through the dirty cop’s badge and horror because she’s about to be caught #and it’s like you want it to happen and you don’t and you do and you don’t #he consumes her entirely but she’s still there and there’s this sense that he knows it #that on some level he’s afraid of her and that he could lose control of her at any moment and possibly already has—and that he likes this #but we as readers cannot know the truth—she’s become unknowable to us and perhaps to herself #noli me tangere: like christ resurrected we cannot touch her now #scream scream screammmmmmm #it’s been so long since i reread the books but i’m always two seconds away from an unprompted lecture alas
