Hannibal - "I could swear that deer is looking at us" | Hannibal in your daily life

Cuckoo · 10-20-2013, 06:18 AM

I thought we really needed a thread where we can talk about our 'encounters' with Hannibal in our everyday life.

Has anyone else started to see stags everywhere? Are you feeling sentimental whenever wearing something plaid? Are there suddenly seven dogs in your house and you're not quite sure how they got there? And why do all these clocks look so weird?

I want to hear your stories.

Thank you Alica for starting this new thread!

Can you add the link to the board guide thread too? We gather everything there (in the OP) and update the links to make it easier for everyone to search for a specific thread!

I want to see stag because i'm now fascinated by this animal but i live in a city so there's few chances!

I try very hard to not associate food in real life to the show because it would become quite difficult to eat...

Done!

I'm really lucky - my family lives in a house with a garden that borders the woods, and every once in a while we can watch deer walk by. I used to went for walks in the woods when I was living with them and sometimes a stag suddenly appeared in front of me and stared at me until I walked on.

Thanks for this thread, Alica. It was a great idea

!

Like Imane...i live in the city too so, the only thing that reminds me of Hannibal is the food.

I keep seeing stags everywhere - in decoration and on clothes and in the tv programme... they're everywhere!

Something that made me laugh recently: here at the supermarket they always have these cooking magazines next to the cash register and while waiting in the queue I looked at it and the meal displayed on the cover looked really Hannibal-like - there were blackberries, I think? In any case it looked really similar to one of the meals Hannibal had prepared on the show. A few days later my mum came home from the supermarket and said, 'There was this cooking magazine, that totally reminded me of Hannibal...' So I'm not the only one who has a weird obssession with this show, she saw it, too.

Oh, and there was that time when I cried over stag goulash in the supermarket freezer. In my defence i can say that it was the day that the final episode aired and I had stayed up until 4am to watch it and I was sleep-deprived and traumatised by this episode... ok, actually I'm just weird.

Alica, your mom watches the show too ^^?

That's called dedication!

.... Or obsession

I love how you refuse to hurt yourself!

Yes, I made her watch it, and she now has a crush on Hannibal.

Oh, maybe I translated it wrong? My dictionary said that is it called like this.
It's meat, cut into small pieces, usually mixed with onions or vegetables and spices. And this one was made from stag, so I thought, 'O no, they killed the Ravenstag!'

Actually, I'm glad that I'm a vegetarian. I think otherwise I would freak out much more while watching the show.

I have a far bigger problem with the hunting/fishing scenes than with the ones when Hannibal serves human meat.

Well, I needed to watch it live! I started watching shortly before episode 10 aired, then I watched episode 11 on the day that it was on tv, and the last two episodes I watched live via live stream. It was amazing.

That´s cool

. My mom didn´t like it at first but now, she watches with me ^^

You didn´t translated wrong. My english just fails me sometimes

.

It is a good thing to be a vegetarian while being a fan of a show like this one. I´m use to the story (the fact he´s a cannibal) because if i wasn´t, i wouldn´t be able to eat after watching the show.

Sorry about that

Me too!

I had all the episodes but waited to binge watch

and began following the pace of NBC starting episode 10.
Following the last episodes was torture but i knew watching live was impossible: i would have became a zombie if i waited until 4am

I was lucky, I only had one class on Friday and I simply decided to skip it and get some sleep instead.
