"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
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."
– Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy, talking about 'The Wrath of the Lamb' finale scene
This is the second time I’ve been accused of being Hannibal Lecter running his Tumblr account. To be fair, the first time I said “Will is my god” in a reblog so I was practically asking for it then.
Of course, I am not Hannibal, I would NEVER stare longingly at images of Will Graham for hours on end. That would be preposterous
Still laughing about Caleb casually telling Essek in front of the Marble Tomes that he was in training to be a Scourger, when they have one in custody right that second for attempted murder in the Dynasty. Like from Caleb's perspective he'd established his goodwill pretty loudly via the beacon and even said he was from an "inner circle" of the Empire. But I feel like "btw that inner circle was assassins" is like a next level of bold to say when there has just been an assassin attack. And Essek maybe reads Caleb's earnestness correctly because he doesn't seem alarmed and just quips "are you telling me you're a Scourger?" and easily accepts the answer of no; it came across almost more like a teasing remark than anything else. But I also can't help but wonder if Essek, secretly-working-with-the-leader-of-said-assassins-(among-others) Essek, was also playing 5D chess with himself in his head for a moment as Caleb unknowingly threw yet another wild curve ball specially formulated to incite Crisis Mode for one (1) traitor in particular
part four of my post-canon hannibal art series that I call world's most fucked up road trip<3 you can see the other 3 parts + some comics from the same AU here
This time including: a new house in a new country, opera trips, Hannibal massaging Will's bad shoulder, some new scars that I made up for fun, and Will's hair starting to go grey a little bit (which is a sign of growing older together and living a long life btw and that's beautiful). And, of course, murder.
Jack, Alana, and everyone else are like how does Will sleep at night after doing all that meanwhile Will is spooning a cannibal.
