hannibal’s name rhyming with cannibal is like vague enough to be a coincidence but he’s also a fancy chef who always serves organ meat and/or raw meat dishes that exactly line up with whatever body part disappeared from the FBI’s most recent batch of bodies, and he serves it to the FBI, who doesn’t notice
Who’s the biggest weed dealer in Baltimore? I have to consult my friend Hannibis Lecter, the renowned gardener
Someone keeps running people over! better talk to my buddy Hehicular Hanslaugher Lecter, the world-famous racecar driver
I thought the babadook was an anime thing until like two weeks ago, I didn’t realize it was from like a recent movie I thought it was from like a mid-2000s anime
this guy on the right, that’s what I thought the babadook was, I don’t know what anime this is but when people reference the babadook that’s who I thought they were talking about
If you didn’t know what to search for then how did you find this picture?
I searched for “grinning anime demon” and scrolled for like a billion years until I found a drawing some kid did of this guy and then I did a Search By Image which told me his name, which I then searched again to find the image on this post. Are you happy you “exposed” how much energy went into my finding a picture of the guy I thought was the babadook? Has this in some way enriched your life?
this simultaneously lends support for the story (can find Ryuk via “grinning anime demon”) and brings aspects of it into question (why scroll for a billion years if it’s right there?), but Google results are pretty time-volatile, and it’s easy to miss something if you don’t know what you’re looking for.
(also, more support in that even though Ryuk is two of the top five results, there’s not much Ryuk in the next 200 or so)
Wow it’s almost like when I did that search there wasn’t a post describing Ryuk specifically as “grinning anime demon” with 74,000 reblogs (each of which has been indexed by google as a separate search result) so it was harder to find Ryuk using that search term, and then when YOU did the same search, there WAS such a post, and due to 74,000 new points of data associating the phrase “grinning anime demon” with the phrases “ryuk” and “death note,” google’s algorithm has learned that when people search “grinning anime demon” they’re probably looking for Ryuk?
It’s been said before but I love that She-ra has a sparkly pink character named Glimmer and her mom has to say “no violence” before letting her outside
