Hannibal Gamer AU CatchUp Post~
Added 2022-10-01 16:00:25 +0000 UTCFor anyone who is newer or just maybe missed a couple of them, I wanted to compile all my existing gamer AU artwork for you :)) I'm not sticking religiously to what I established in them but this is where my inspo is coming from~
I don't remember if it was a patron prompt or if I came up with it? I think it must have been suggested at some point, but no one is credited on the original post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/fanart-tier-au-6071462 Either way, it's an AU from 2016 and I haven't drawn it very much since! If I'm being honest, I don't play a ton of games, so I struggled a little coming up with stuff to draw for it. I'm an older millennial and my first game console was a literal Nintendo. I've watched a lot of game streams since then though and have a fun idea to do with streaming, but also would that make... Hannibal and Will... zoomers?? I do not know anything about zoomers. I cannot make them zoomers. I think I'm just gonna have to ask for a little suspension of disbelief that what they talk about doesn't match up 100% with how stream culture actually works and that the type of games they play aren't super up to date. I am very old. I'll do my best.
Oh yeah, I also wanted to link this very very good fic that Belladonnaq wrote related to the last two images; we used to collab on some stuff like this but have kind of lost touch, so while I'm not using anything from what they established in their fic, it's still a big source of inspiration, I still really love it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8264948

2022-10-08 22:33:09 +0000 UTCI love all of gamer AU but my favorite will always be Hannibal Crossing and all the skeletons buried on Will's island.

2022-10-03 13:34:00 +0000 UTCI see Hannibal knows the chopsticks method to keep fingies clean of chip/popcorn dust

2022-10-02 18:14:21 +0000 UTCI would love to see them playing older games as well! And hey, I donโt even know what zoomers are (๐), I feel like I should as Iโve at least used to play a lot, so hello another millenial here. ๐ Looking really forward to this au!

2022-10-02 05:49:06 +0000 UTCOmg. I love this AU. It seems so cozy! ๐ค Iโm a gamer (an old one). In addition to cannibalism in Skyrim, which I saw someone mentioned above, I immediately thought of Hannibal picking the โCannibalโ perk in Fallout 3 and beyond ๐

2022-10-02 00:29:00 +0000 UTComg i totally forgot about that particular belladonnaq collab (i havent heard from her in a long time either, hope shes doing well). this is has always been one of your funnuer aus, partly because its a little hard to imagine cultured, borderline-formal hannibal being a gamer, and im really looking forward to how youre going to bring him to life

2022-10-01 20:48:22 +0000 UTCHell yeah!!! I remember these!! And I def agree w some of the other comments, no reason they can't be older streamers playing older games. I don't even watch that many streamers but when I do, it's ALWAYS older stuff like that xD
