and we never got to see will and hannibal cooking together in naka-choko. how would will move in hannibals kitchen when he's not just watching hannibal prepare meals on his own? does he know where everything is located? would hannibal just hand him items or tell him where everything is, letting him make himself familiar with the space? would they talk throughout or would they work in comfortable silence, side by side? would they work efficiently fast or would they take their time, revelling in the novelty of cooking together for the first time?
All I’m saying is certain pots/pans are sacred. I know bc if I try and make something I’ve made a hundred times in a different vessel it doesn’t turn out right.
the scene where the cooks of erebus and terror argue about whether to add more salt to the [rotting, lead-poisoned] tins is genuinely one of my favourites in the whole show btw
finding love like that is beautiful, rare, and as our faves would say, sacred <3
oh, nooooo you're going to make me cry 🥺 i've been feeling very sappy this weekend because of the wedding planning and i just really adore seeing people (esp people I care about) have a love that brings out the best and happiest versions of themselves. it's so...idk exactly how to explain it, but I get why anyone would want to protect something like that with every fiber of their being.
doing the dishes is literally the WORST sisyphean household chore zero contest. it would be way less bad if i lived alone but living with 2-4 other mentally ill adults = actual hell. i would rather touch a fresh clean corpse than mouldy rotting slimy food in a wet dish thats been sitting for an indeterminate amount of time
