Hannibal Extended Universe - Blog Posts

Have you played the mobile game nebulous.io ? I recommend. I grew up on it

I have played Nebulous.io before.

I liked the concept of absorbing smaller cells to grow larger, though I found the movement mechanics somewhat frustrating at times.

What did you enjoy about it?

Pretty sure this is you

You made me into an alien plushie? That is very creative.

I like it. Thank you for drawing me, I appreciate it.

Tumblr can be confusing.

hi adam :3 opinion on raccoons

My opinion on raccoons? I like them.

They have highly dexterous front paws with five fingers, which allow them to open latches and even solve simple puzzles. Their problem-solving skills are comparable to primates.

I also think that they look cute.

This you?

That’s not me. It’s an alien plushie.

Are you genuinely curious, or is this just a joke?

Do you even skoke?

Do I Skoke ?

You need to dump Beth. She's an asshole.

Beth spends time with me. I don’t always understand her, but I think she means well…

I didn’t ask her because I got nervous about it. I am not good at this stuff.

But she suggested going to the museum together. I think that would be a good idea—to do something she’s interested in.

Although I would much rather go to the planetarium.

I thought of taking Beth to the planetarium sometime, but I’m not sure if she’d like it

(not that) unpopular opinion: neil degrasse tyson is overrated.

popular opinion: elon musk is overrated.

opinion: brian cox is great

fact: the planetary parade is going to happen friday 28th (England time) and it wont happen again until 2040 approx!!!

Unpopular or not, Tyson’s style isn’t for everyone. His focus tends to be on simplifying complex ideas for mass appeal, which can make them feel less substantial when compared to other scientists who delve deeper. I do think he has a knack for bringing attention to space, though.

Musk, on the other hand, I think his overhyped persona doesn’t always match the actual impact of his ventures. There’s a difference between innovative ideas and being celebrated for the spectacle of it all. The focus often seems more on the ‘idea’ of progress rather than actual tangible steps.

Brian Cox, though, I do like. He makes astrophysics easier to grasp without dumbing it down. I really appreciate the clarity he brings.

As for the planetary parade, I’m actually looking forward to it as well !. It’s not every day you get to see such a rare alignment.

I don’t know what feelings it would stir in Will. I have never met him.

But if someone saw a younger version of themselves, would they recognize it as themselves..or as someone else entirely?

It's very weird, having a patient with the same face as my Will.

What's your favourite instrument for observing space? (I mean as in out of all created ones, not just telescopes. Cause there's some pretty developed ones nowadays)

You’re right there are many advanced instruments for observing space, each designed for different purposes. The James Webb Space Telescope is one of the most impressive—it observes infrared light, allowing us to see distant galaxies and exoplanets in ways we never could before. But if I had to pick a favorite, I think the Voyager probes are remarkable. They carry the Golden Record, which is an attempt to communicate with any potential extraterrestrial life, and they are the farthest human-made objects from Earth. The idea that they might one day be found is… fascinating

I have Dr Lecter as my psychiatrist too!

Honestly I think I might ask for a referral to another psychiatrist. He speaks in prose, and I just cannot decode all his metaphors.

He's generally nice though.

I think I understand how you feel. Dr. Lecter does speak in a way that can be difficult to interpret. I ask him to clarify when I don’t understand, but he doesn’t always give a direct answer. He is very intelligent though. If the way he speaks makes things harder for you, then asking for a referral makes sense. The most important thing is having a psychiatrist who helps you the way you need.

Personally, Dr. Lecter and I understand things differently. He isn’t always direct, and I prefer clarity, but he doesn’t mind when I ask him to explain. He listens carefully and helps me notice patterns in my thoughts I hadn’t seen before. Even if I don’t always understand his metaphors, he makes me think in new ways, which is helpful.

Good luck with your therapy!

what’s your opinion on life in space? i personally believe that with so many planets its impossible not to have somehow have life, even if it’s just a single cell being

-🔭

I really quite like the emoji you used!

Statistically, the probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe is high. There are billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars and potentially habitable planets. Even if the conditions for life are rare, the sheer number of possibilities makes it unlikely that Earth is the only place where life has developed. I don’t know if we’ll ever find it, but mathematically, it makes sense that it exists. As for my own opinion; I really hope we get to discover more about possible life in space soon! It is an unrealistic wish but I dream of it nonetheless.

@deerrdarling Abigail and I recently watched ‘Carol‘ together.

It was fun, I liked this dialogue from the movie a lot :

Someone told me today that ‘the stars have aligned.’ I checked. They have not. Stellar positions do not change in response to human events

I‘m still figuring out how the anonymous notes work.

I am unsure whether we are acquainted, but I appreciate your kindness “🦌“ person.

Desigur, sunt darnic să te ajut. Zvonurile pot fi doar zvonuri, dar cel mai bine este să ai grijă. Sunt din România, da, dar sunt un spirit liber si îmi place sa bântui prin diverse țări, fără să stau mai mult într-un anumit loc. Rar se găsesc de-ai noștri pe-aici într-adevăr. Pe lângă subiect, vreau să îți zic că Adam este o persoană foarte mișto și că sunt de părere că te-ai înțelege tare bine cu el. Ca de obicei, mult noroc

-🦌

[Ooc: your translator is working just fine, don't worry!! I translate my messages cause I'm prone to using slang or wording things in a way that a translator wouldn't exactly understand or would misinterpret. Translation: Of course, I wish to help you. Rumours can be just rumours, but it's best to be careful. I am from Romania, yes, but I'm a free spirit, and I like haunting around different countries without staying too much in one place. You rarely find our kind around here, indeed. By the way, I wanna tell you that Adam is a really cool person and I think that you would get along splendidly. As always, good luck]

E tare fain să întâlnesc un alt român! Și chiar înțeleg dorința de a vedea lumea, chiar dacă uneori Statele Unite sunt de-a dreptul nașpa. Nu găsești mâncare românească decentă pe aici. Mai stai în Europa?

Da, Adam pare super fain până acum. Și frumos, dar o să vedem ce o să fie. Nu cred că se gândește la mine așa, mai ales că abia ne-am cunoscut. Mersi din nou pentru tot.

I’m not sure if there’s anything being hidden. I’d like to think there isn’t. I trust Abigail—she’s my friend.

I don’t feel strongly one way or the other about Dr. Lecter. He’s a good psychiatrist. My feelings don’t really change what’s real, though. Maybe you should ask Dr. Lecter about it yourself. You seem like you’d be good at that.

Also I’m not sure what you mean by ‘delicate elegance.’..I don’t focus on appearance, just the practical aspects of things. I suppose if you’re referring to my manner?, I do try my best to remain composed.

I like Botticelli‘s art though.

Thank you for the compliment, Nigel

Ți-e drag rău Will, nu-i așa? Ai grijă pe lângă pe lângă psihiatrul ăla, totuși. Trec multe zvonuri despre el

(Ooc: translation because most services don't do it well: Will's dear to you, eh? Be careful around that psychiatrist, though. Many rumours flying around him)

Știu foarte bine... Dar îți mulțumesc.

Hello, Adam!! People are putting emojis below their asks to signify a sort of sign-of, like a signature :))

I like that concept. I could make tags for each emoji from an anonymous user , I saw other people do that.

People have said that before. I still don’t see it. Does it bother you Dr. Lecter?

It's very weird, having a patient with the same face as my Will.

Are you dating anyone at the moment?

-🍰

No. But someone has expressed interest in me. I am still analyzing what that means

Could somebody explain to me why people are putting emojis below their questions? I don’t understand it.

During my session with Dr. Lecter today, he spoke about the stars. He told me that the light we see in the night sky is ancient—that some of the stars that appear brightest to us have already died, their final light still traveling across time and distance. He said it is a reminder that what we perceive is not always what is present, and that some things linger even after they are gone.

He also referenced the Greeks, how they believed the constellations were once people and creatures, lifted into the sky as stories, as if memory alone could make them eternal. He asked me if I thought the universe remembers us, if our presence leaves an impression in the fabric of space-time, or if we simply vanish.

I told him that memory does not alter physics, and that once something is gone, it is gone.

After that he just smiled at me.

Yes I am Adam.

I don’t know what metric you’re using to compare Botticelli and Caravaggio..they had distinct artistic styles. You’re probably right about the street smarts. Also i haven’t met Will Graham yet, but as far as I know, I’m not competing with him.

What do you mean by ‘if something’s off’?

omg hi adam!!! :) how are you?

-🧩

Hello. I am fine. How are you? I assume you are asking as a general greeting rather than requesting specific data about my well-being, but I can provide more detail if necessary

-🧩?

hi adam !! it’s abigail :)

any books on space you recommend?

My favorite book is Cosmos by Carl Sagan. But if you are just starting to read about space, I would recommend Welcome to the Universe: An Astrophysical Tour by Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott. It is informative but easy to understand for somebody with no prior knowledge.

Since you seem to be interested in the concept of alternative realities, you might also really like The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene.

Let me know if you have any questions about the books. I have read all of them.

Being one of his patients, have you noticed anything odd about Hannibal Lecter ?

About Dr. Lecter ? No, I haven’t.

I haven’t been his patient for long, sometimes I talk to Franklyn in the waiting room. He usually talks a lot but he’s very polite and listens to me when I tell him about my interests.

However, I haven’t seen Franklyn in a while.

I thought of taking Beth to the planetarium sometime, but I’m not sure if she’d like it

I don’t have any knowledge of Romanian linguistically, but I know that Will Graham and I share a psychiatrist.

Dr. Lecter is very insightful and provides a lot of useful information. I don’t think there is any cause for concern regarding him!

The idea of infinite universes is intriguing, but the concept of a “supply chain of galaxies” and the possibility of infinite versions of a person seems to contradict some principles of physics.

If the universe is truly infinite, there could be countless galaxies and planets some potentially similar to ours. But the way the laws of physics work suggests that even if multiple universes existed, they wouldn’t necessarily be identical or follow the same rules. The possibility of infinite “Hannibals” searching for the same “Will” seems more like a thought experiment than something grounded in observable reality.

I wonder if this is something more people have considered. If parallel universes exist, then how many versions of any of us might be out there? There’s still much we don’t know about the universe

If the universe is unending in its supply chain of galaxies and there are infinite possibilities for more of these universes, that means there are infinite potential Hannibal’s all searching for one specific Will.

How does that make you feel?

That would imply that Hannibal is obsessed with me. Mixed feelings.

Earth just temporarily captured a small asteroid (2024 PT5) that orbited us for a couple of months. It’s not a permanent moon, though. The only real moon we have is still the one we always see.

Still, it’s interesting to think about how objects from space can come so close, even if just for a short time. The asteroid is back on its regular path now.

It’s rare for something like this to happen. I wonder how many other near-Earth objects we haven’t noticed yet!

Introduction

Hello.

This is my blog. My name is Adam Raki. I live in New York City, but I prefer looking at things that are very far away, like galaxies and nebulae.

I am an electrical engineer, but I am currently between jobs. I know a lot about space, physics, and astronomy. If you ask me something, I will answer it as accurately as possible!. If you are imprecise, I may ask you to clarify.

The parallax shift is how the position of a star appears to change when viewed from different locations. It is not actually moving, but perspective makes it seem that way. That is how I got the name.

I do not know exactly what people post on blogs, but I will post things about space. If I like something, I might reblog it. I do not always understand jokes, but if you tell me it is a joke, I will try to understand.

Topics I will post about:

• Astronomy

• Space exploration

• Interesting facts

• Possibly answering Questions

OOC:

Hey ! I’m Tej (he/him) and I made this as an rp account for Adam because I adore him. Feel free to interact no matter who you are , just be respectful :) you can always send OOC asks just make sure to mark them as such !

(I also just wanted to clarify that I am neurodivergent myself and I will do my absolute best not to make a mockery out of Adam’s character !)
