do you See the parallels here
having a little creature inside your mindscape, a creature which used to be big and would hurt you and those you loved. but now *it's* the small one. and you *could* hurt it, but you won't, because it's a part of you, body and mind. (and it's always just been a creature following its instincts, never meaning any evil). so instead, you feed it and hold it gently.

Today I learned that the William Blake who painted this
ALSO wrote the poem "The Fly" which are the lyrics for Cosmo Sheldrake's "The Fly" which is one of my favorite Cosmo songs.
Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

I can’t stop thinking about how Will Graham truly didn’t have someone who talked or cared for him just for the sake of it (in season 1 and at the start of season 2) but rather because of what he had to offer:
Jack “borrowed” his imagination, at the expense of Will’s mental health. Yes, Will’s imagination saved lives, but it still cost him greatly. Even in season 3, he emotionally manipulates Will to help him because his deteriorating mental health “serves a greater purpose”
Alana didn’t date him because her professional curiosity towards him was greater than her romantic interest in him.
Hannibal in the first season found him fascinating due to his empathy disorder and then later let his encephalitis get worse so that he could study and observe the psychological effects it has on the human brain. And of course, he later used it to frame Will for his murders.
Beverly, too only came to see Will in jail because she needed help to solve the murders.
So, it makes sense why Will would find so much of himself in Hannibal, and form a close and complicated relationship with him, because after season 1, Hannibal was really the only person who understood him, accepted him, and loved him for who he was, and not his unique empathy disorder.

Clarice Starling (book) would like Hannibal (NBC) the same way she likes Hannibal (SOTL book) but Starling (movie) would not like Hannibal (NBC) nearly as much as (book) Starling. Alternatively, Hannibal (NBC) would only be vaguely interested in her because he really just wants Will Graham (NBC). To add onto that, Hannibal (TRD) would not like Graham (NBC) the same way Hannibal (NBC) would not like Graham (TRD).
