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

I love all of gamer AU but my favorite will always be Hannibal Crossing and all the skeletons buried on Will's island.

Also….in Bloodborne does Will try and avoid killing the wolf like enemies?

I see Hannibal knows the chopsticks method to keep fingies clean of chip/popcorn dust
AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES?!!!

Sherlock as a support in Monster Hunter!? I dunno about that. xDDD <3

I would love to see them playing older games as well! And hey, I don’t even know what zoomers are (🙈), I feel like I should as I’ve at least used to play a lot, so hello another millenial here. 😎 Looking really forward to this au!

Omg. I love this AU. It seems so cozy! 🖤 I’m a gamer (an old one). In addition to cannibalism in Skyrim, which I saw someone mentioned above, I immediately thought of Hannibal picking the “Cannibal” perk in Fallout 3 and beyond 😂

omg 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

Hell 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
