Just a quick one tonight – and really only to give blog readers a chance to get their name into the hat for my latest give-away which is happening over on Twitter tonight/today. You will find me there as @GuyltyPleasure.
I set myself the challenge to make a RAPS for every episode of Red Dragon…ooops… Hannibal. With a demanding visitor in the house, I literally had to steal time (and pretend I needed a lie-down…) in order to get the second RAPS in the Red Dragon series done in time for tonight’s airing of episode 3×09. This is the one for episode 2, eh, 3×09.
I think we could actually call this a “DRAPS” (DRAgon Pocket Shrine)…
Unfortunately I could not get a certain image out of my head. The great worship scene. Please consider this a re-cap of episode 3×08…
I know you understand…
I thought it would be fun if the picture on the easel was exchangeable. So I made a few more images that can be fitted to the frame via magnet (see right). Maybe the Red Dragon is worshipping his tattoo? Or perhaps he likes his front-view better (Armitage practicing Dragon-worship on the Hassler shoot)? My own personal favourite is the Red Dragon, Richard-Armitage-Doodle version. A bit of a post-modern interpretation, I guess. But hey, this is fiction, and anything is possible. Whoever wins this could even attach a picture of themselves there… Yeah, that’s an in-te-res-ting *view*. Better not go there…
However, there *is* some Francis Dolarhyde, ep 3×09 in this:
Do you know how hard it is to find a picture of Dolly where he is smiling? Well, it’s actually impossible. There are no smiles. He does not smile. He’s probably smiling inside. You can replace the Dolarhyde insert with one of the other images from the golden frame. I might even throw in a beard-y RA… The text is magnetic and can be adjusted to just “Trust me” or “I am smiling”. Oh, and I loved the lighting in the dark room scene as much as Richard Armitage did… hence I chose it as the background. #ProfileLove
So, if you would like to win this (D)RAPS, these are the instructions:
Go to my Twitter @GuyltyPleasure. I have tweeted six shrine-related tweets, indicated by numbering (1/6, 2/6…). Re-tweet my tweet 6/6, making sure they are tagged #Hannibal #WhatAreYouBecoming. And you are in. RT open until Monday, 3 August 2015, 8am GMT.
And a last picture for good luck and good measure:
Good luck to you all! 🍀

Shrine does not reflect the darkness of the episode, but well, they are drool facilitators, not horror boxes 😉

very very cool! the interchangeable pictures and the bit of film-strip, plus I really like those shiny hearts along the side for some reason too.

Hehe, I am particularly proud of the film strip – and had to sacrifice one of my own negative strips for the purpose. The little hearts are a must in any shrine. They are becoming a bit of a theme in the Red Dragon series of my RAPS…

IKR – I was thinking of that, too, and… well, let’s not go there. Plus – that is the drawback of a 2D medium such as photography/film. We are missing the other side of the medal. But well, the imagination is enough…

Selbstbeweihräucherung. Die Vorstellung, dass er vor dem Hassler-Foto steht ist unbezahlbar. Und der Hassler starrt auch so intensiv zurück 🙂 Wirklich wieder ein feines Sahnestückchen. Stehe ja nicht so auf das Thema, aber für diesen DROPS äh DRAPS werfe ich auch meinen Namen in die Lostrommel. Hätte nur noch eine Bitte: wenn mich das Glück ereilt, dann packst du noch einen Beardy-Armitage dazu. Gebongt?
LikeLike
Absolut gebongt. Der beardy RA ist bereits gedruckt. Den hatte ich nur beim Shooting vergessen *doh*. Es sollen ja schließlich alle Geschmäcker bedient werden. Und ja, der Hassler war einfach priceless – allein schon, weil die Pose praktisch wie das Spiegelbild zur Tattoo-Rückenansicht des Red Dragon wirkt. Dazu dann noch die ironisch gehobene Augenbraue, und der post-moderne Sarkasmus ist perfekt…

Ooo, I’m liking this lots 🙂 I am so out of the loop at the moment – way behind in my appreciation of recent events and haven’t been able to see any Red Dragon yet. But I can certainly appreciate this!

Hehe, you may be getting a rather skewed version of Dolarhyde presented in my shrines, Helen. He is way more sinister and dangerous than my shrines make him out to be. Well, that’s because they are meant to be drool objects, so I had to. Can’t have horror visions in there 🙂

Quick question Guylty cos I’m useless at Twitter… You say add the hashtags but they are already in the tweet, so they stay there when retweeted… Not sure how to add them again anyway… Sorry for being a dinosaur…

Nah, you are fine. You can just RT my 6/6 tweet, the tags will be recorded, I think. Or you can Quote RT and add the tags yourself. But I count any RT of my original 6/6 tweet.

you know what, i never thought i’d consider revising H for drooling. I am interested in it but it’s always left me with a feeling of wanting to run away. I am currently wondering if the 2nd migraine in my entire left hasn’t actually been brought on by all this darkness…
But when i look at this it just makes me smile, especially due to the images in the pictures and the thought of some of those looking back 😉 And happily my mind is naughtily giffing away at that image and the split second when the robe slides across his back and stop for a second to caress his checks 😀 Who could blame it! Provided the beard is in i think actually may be in 🙂

Another incredible RAPS, or should I say DRAPS. I thought the one with FD doing pull-ups was outstanding but then you create an interactive art exhibition. I love it! And for once, I think I got a RT in before the deadline; getting better at figuring out the time difference. I really thought you’d do something with his line “Ride with me…for my pleasure.” Creepy but I still laughed. And Reba just hopped in the van. OK. I’d hop in too. And those dental posters in the bus stop…so much to laugh at last night. With so much creative cinematography and dialog, I think you’re going to be inspired to make FD/TF/GRD creations for a long time to come.

interactve exhibitionISTmore like 😉 Thanks, Snowy – this DRAPS was great fun to make, even though I was under severe pressure: I have been hosting a visitor since Thursday, and was under surveillance most of the time. I really had to work fast to get the shrine done for my Saturday deadline. Nonetheless it was fun.
“Ride with me for my pleasure” was a line that I noted in my review notes, too. No coincidence, I bet, and neither the bus shelter posters (also something I spotted). Jokers! I really hope they’ll give us a good preview this week – with more Dolly in it. So that I can let inspiration works its magic…

The line is from the book:
Reba McClane heard the van behind her. It was beside her now.
“Thank you for inviting me.”
She nodded, smiled, tapped along.
“Ride with me.”
“Thanks, but I take the bus all the time.”
“Dandridge is a fool. Ride with me…”—what would someone
say?—“for my pleasure.”

*g* Gelungen! Ich mag besonders den Wechselrahmen. Und dass er auch im Querformal passt, mit der Zeichnung drin.:-D
Aber wenn ich ganz ehrlich sein soll: Ganz besonders mag ich den kleinen roten Drachen mit seinem traurigen Blick.
Ich bin mir nur noch nicht sicher, ob er so traurig guckt, weil (a) Dolly ihn so missinterpretiert – oder weil (b) er missbraucht wird, um uns den großen rote Drachen sympathisch zu machen. 😀
