Guys, I figured I'd have some scraggly "also there was a meet-up" follow-up entry padded out with unrelated stuff. I had no idea.
Here's the full official video (it's an hour and a half, so I haven't watched the whole thing yet), but here are a few quick highlights:
@NBCHannibal: Let the Fannibal Meetup BEGIN!
@NBCHannibal: aaaaand @BryanFuller is wearing another fan's flower crown. This is becoming a thing and we love it.
@NBCHannibal: Flower crown evidence. #Hannibal #SDCC

a concrete answer to the perennial WTF Flower Crowns question.)
@NBCHannibal: "It's weird when you have to leave your hands inside dead bodies" [direct quote, we swear] - @MrAaronAbrams
@NBCHannibal: Round of applause for Hugh to be in a scene with @GillianA. AGREED!
@NBCHannibal: "My favorite part of
the blooper reel is watching @ScottThompson_ react to Laurence yelling because he's terrified." - Hugh
@NBCHannibal: "There were a loooooot of mushroom jokes that hit the cutting room floor" *curses the sky* - @BryanFuller
@NBCHannibal: @DAVID_A_SLADE said his favorite insider reference to the books was "Perception is a tool that's pointed at both ends."
@NBCHannibal: HUGH IS WEARING THE FLOWER CROWN. I REPEAT, HUGH IS WEARING THE FLOWER CROWN.
@NBCHannibal: Hugh wearing the flower crown. We can all go home now.

capturedraindrops is the gifmaker MVP today)
Then, this morning, I got a message on Tumblr: aerisaquata asked you: by the way, i'm friends and enabler to the person who gave hugh dancy the flower crown (astrakiseki on tumblr)
there is symbolism~
it's made out of red and white poppies and white daisies, which represents dreams and oblivion! she really wanted to get rhodendrons (beware, i am dangerous) but couldn't find any.
(
More on the symbolism at astrakiseki's tumblr.) And here I’d thought it was just an exceptionally attractive floral arrangement. Four for you, Glen Coco! (And none for Hannibal Lecter.)
@NBCHannibal: So we just learned that #Hannibal will be serving people sushi in Episode 1 of Season 2. #KONICHIWA
"
Pierced body," eh?
@NBCHannibal: There is a request for Hugh to say "This is my design" in Will Graham's voice. This is happening, people!
@NBCHannibal: "I got to chase @ScottThompson_ around with those balls." - @MrAaronAbrams [presented without context]
Gondor wishes it had no context. @NBCHannibal: @DAVID_A_SLADE "Hashtag JiggleJiggle" #Hannibal #SDCC #JiggleJiggle
Meanwhile,
Bryan Fuller, trolling in the deep. @NBCHannibal: Hugh just got asked about San Diego's airport carpet. Hat tip to the Fannibal that just asked that.
@Ceilidhann: All the flower crowns to the carpet airport question girl.
@cleolinda: I still don't understand that question, what am I missing? (I also haven't listened to that part yet)
@Ceilidhann: Hugh's admitted he's obsessed with airport carpets. He & his wife contribute to this site:
carpetsforairports.com @Ceilidhann: He was once almost arrested on suspicion of terrorism because he spent so long photographing a carpet.
@Ceilidhann: The couple who document airport carpets together stays together.
OHHHHHHHH.
...wait, what?
In December 2007, the 83 crew and passengers of EasyFlight 147 were lost somewhere between Gates 3 and 4 of the main terminal of EDI. Despite extensive searches in the airport's washrooms, restaurants and duty-free shops, no trace was found of them. In January 2009, three survivors of the lost flight staggered out into the airport's main corridor from behind a decorative pot plant. They were clearly in shock, and violently refused to walk upon EDI's carpet, claiming it was a portal that had thrust them into a horrifying parallel universe from which only three of them had managed to escape.
Seriously, check Dublin, Edinburgh, and Isle of Man. I looked no further than that, but it was a nice addendum to The Day of Helpless Laughter.
@NBCHannibal: A fannibal just gave Hugh a "Save Will Graham" needlepoint. ALL THE AWARDS
@NBCHannibal: Hugh was just offered cookies by a Fannibal. We have no proof these are people-free.
@NBCHannibal: @Tattle_Crime is asking a question over the phone into the mic. Dedication #SDCC #Hannibal
@Tattle_Crime: Just asked Agent Graham, via Hugh Dancy, if I could break him out of jail and go on a 'roadtrip for justice".
@Tattle_Crime: Will, via Hugh,
answered that "Yes, he wants to know what that will entail, he is curious." ROADTRIP TIME!
Guys, this actually happened. Skip to
a little before 1:14:00. I was talking to Freddie on
Thursday night; I can confirm that this is her voice.
The cherry on top, Aaron Abrams: "
I'M RIGHT HERE."
You'll have to tell me if you saw anything else awesome/fun in the video (or if you were, you know, there), because I was slain after that.
@NBCHannibal: You can see more pictures from the meetup on our instagram!
instagram.com/nbchannibal @NBCHannibal: Without further ado, we present the complete [Thursday night] #Pannibal for your viewing pleasure:
ow.ly/n9yBl And then our correspondent
ppyajunebug won a signed copy of the finale script! So that went well, I think. If I have time tomorrow, I'll round up a few links for the SDCC panels that were about, you know, anything else.
