"With all my knowledge and intrusion I could never entirely predict you. I can feed the caterpillar, I can whisper through the chrysalis, but what hatches follows its own nature and is beyond me."- Hannibal Lecter in front of a dead fucking horse
Sir Terry Pratchett: on writing Good Omens with Neil Gaiman
I love the whole interview but this little snippet most of all:
Terry: “You can usually bet, and I’m sure Neil Gaiman would say the same thing, that, uh, if I go into a bookstore to do a signing and someone presents me with three books, the chances are that one of them is going to be a very battered copy of Good Omens; and it will smell as if it’s been dropped in parsnip soup or something in and it’s gone fluffy and crinkly around the edges and they’ll admit that it’s the fourth copy they’ve bought”.
the cardinal, #1 rule of hannigram is that while Hannibal is more evil in a traditional sense, Will is 100% objectively more unhinged, leading to a constant push-and-pull between exactly how far Hannibal’s plan reaches vs how far Will is actually ready to go, with jealousy acting as a spontaneity bonus. neither of them is in control and their love is a torrent neither of them expected or could ever have prepared for, largely because both of them were convinced they could never be loved for what they truly are
my point being. the ship endures because we all think the same thing, deep down
Jaskier: at a certain point in a relationship you get to a point where you've seen your partners butthole more than they've seen it themselves. And I think there's something beautiful in that.
Mads: "It is a giant journey obviously for both of them. In reality that is a giant journey he's gone through (Will) but in Hannibal's world as well, even though the step is much smaller for him, it's a gigantic leap. Right?"
Hugh: "Because he's potentially envisioning– caring on a few..."
Mads: "A future."
Hugh: "Yeah."
Mads: "But it's interesting because Hannibal had never ever thought about the future. He's a man who lives in the present. And for once he saw a future."

Sometimes Will would be scrolling tiktok and there's someone saying "I will teach you how to make tiramisu from pancakes" and Hannibal would slowly direct his terrified gaze towards Will as if he had just heard the biggest profanity. And Will would be like "You should try this, looks good"
