I think it's fucking insane how Hannibal was willing to let it all go just to have Will with him. All Will had to do after saying "they know" was a simple "wait for me".

the way people interpret will is so interesting to me because you’ll have a fic where he’s a poorly groomed rabid dog of a southern man with zero patience for anybody and especially not for hannibal and then in the next he’s submissive and breedable babygirl graham using his feminine wiles to seduce hannibal into doing what he wants. and both are technically correct.

#this is really about the constant top/bottom will graham discourse i see online tbh #personally i do not give a fuck because it’s truly so irrelevant and also that’s like. not at all what their relationship is about.#but i do find it funny how will is so versatile whereas hannibal is consistently a spoiled little cannibalistic bitch in every iteration #will graham #hannigram #hannibal

Hannibal season three is making enemies out of my mother and I - she grows ever angrier at Hannibal (unfeeling psychopath incapable of love according to her) and is the most rampant Will Graham apologist you will ever meet; she is convinced that Will has not been accountable for his actions since meeting Hannibal, that he’s been brainwashed and basically forced to act as he does, and is in actuality an innocent victim 😭 every time we try talking about any of this, both of us get sulky lol

#truly this is the most tense we have ever been when watching something #i have put aside any and all morality and ethics for this show #they’re both pretty fucked up #but not incapable of emotions like my mother claims???#have you seen the homosexual sulking hannibal has been doing for the past four episodes at least??#he’s done all but said i love you will #and will is not the innocent puppy dog hugh dancy makes the viewer believe #though he does look like an innocent puppy dog tbh #he most definitely is not #hannibal nbc #hannigram #hannibal lecter #will graham #secondo #antipasto #primavera #apertivo #contorno #dolce

moar domestic yandere hannibal hcs please? 🥺👉👈

because you’ve asked so nicely:>

sorry for the delay on requests my parents have been out of town and i’ve been picking up after my brother and taking care of the dogs </3

TW: Yandere behaviour, implied false imprisonment/kidnapping, cannibalism, controlling behaviour, reader is GN

Yandere NBC Hannibal domestic headcanons

Enjoys controlling you and almost every aspect of your life, he will cook your meals, decide your plan for the day, have your outfits picked out and prepared for you. He is so obsessive that he simply needs to have control over every part of you

Never let’s you cook, pushes you away to some other chore while he prepares your meal (which he either feeds you people or cooks your food in the same pan he cooked the “meat” in)

Has a strict schedule for both you and him, rise at 8am, breakfast at 9, he leaves for work at around 10 and supervises you as you wash the dishes (he can’t have you accidentally hurting yourself!), the kitchen stays locked whilst he’s out, as do the front and back doors, and all the windows.

You can entertain yourself with his art pieces or books whilst he’s out, and when he returns he discusses his day with you and prepares dinner, ready for bed at 10.

Definitely has a room separate just for you, he knows it must get so smothering having him constantly fuss and loom over you, so he lets you have moments of peace and privacy (so long as you are within his reach)

Absolutely goes into that room whilst you’re elsewhere to smell all your things and invade your space without you knowing

currently reading an ABO rewrite of hannibal where each chapter = an episode in the show. it's great, it's devastating, i am 600k+ words deep, i am INVESTED.

only to find out the final chapter. the FINAL chapter. the wrath of the lamb, one of the MOST important episodes, has not been posted.

the fic was updated like nine months ago, so could be worse, but also. on a scale of 1-10, how screwed am i????

i love hannibal as a character sooo much, because hes such a non person. hes just an imitation of what he thinks a person should be, a falsehood in a suit. he pretends like, or even thinks that he is this great intellectual mind, but his thought processes are so undeveloped. he doesnt like rude people so he kills them, he manipulates people just to satify his own curiosity, he eats people because hes hungry. he projects this image of himself, that hes this mastermind, artistic and thoughtful, but its hollow - hes just an animal. he acts purely on instinct, to eat, to kill, to love, and all these instincts just kindof blend together in the end.

#im rewatching s1 !#love him!#tbh i love anycharacter thats not really a person #whos humanity and lack thereof is an important to their story #its so much fun !#also sorry if this is word salad ive been writing personal statements all day and my brain is fried !#txt #hannibal

hi hello tumblr dot com, can we unpack will and hannibal’s character introductions?

trick question and I don’t care: we’re unpacking this whether you like it or not <3

for the people who wanted to be tagged here you are: @forgivenessishisdesign @kitzual

so anyway last night I rewatched apéritif and now that I know how the series ends a lot of small details stuck out to me. there’s so much content to pick apart that I’m actually losing my mind a little so I’m gonna divide my thoughts into two parts because this is going to be long. first we’ll do will’s introduction, then in the next post I’ll write about hannibal’s

EDIT: you can find part two (hannibal’s introduction) here :)

with that being said, let’s get started

will:

as far as character introductions go, will’s is so perfect to me that I need to dedicate some time just to infodump about it. let it be known that I am obsessed with this scene. there is so much packed into literally only four or so minutes and it’s glorious

funnily enough it’s pretty simple: the scene opens with a flashback. will is depicted recreating a crime scene using his empathy disorder (although audiences are not aware of his empathy yet) and ends with him returning to the present, where he’s lecturing his students about psychoanalysing serial killers, using the case as an example. that’s it. but the scene does everything it needs to do

an effective opening should tell you:

1) the rules/qualities of the world (which can either be exceedingly normal or very bizarre depending on the nature of the story’s subtext and extended metaphor)

2) the protagonist’s worldview, thus foreshadowing the nature of their arc

3) depict theme and raise thematic questions

4) and set-up the climax of the story, which should ideally mirror the opening so that we’re left with a circular narrative

by opening with will’s empathy we are immediately shown that this is a normal part of the story-world even if it’s fantastical by nature. it’s something will can do and that’s just how it is. it’s important that this is the first thing we see because his empathy serves a plot, character, thematic, and genre purpose. it’s a device, as well as an integral part of the show’s subtext and extended metaphor. it automatically puts him on an axis between empathy and psychopathy, or rather, humanity and monstrosity. even before we’re introduced to hannibal himself this is clear through a study of visual contrasts, since in the same instance we’re introduced to the concept of “empathy”, will is taking on the role of the killer, coldly explaining how he murdered the victims bleeding out at his feet. this is the first murder we see in the show, meaning, by proxy, will is the first “killer” we see as well, even if he’s just recreating the scene. we never see who killed mrs marlow, and so the only impression we have of this killer is will’s face. this sets up the structure of s1, since each murder reveals more about will himself, but I digress

and sure, the precision of his empathy is exaggerated and unrealistic, but we believe it a) because it’s the first thing we learn about him and is an unquestionable part of the story-world and its logic and b) because it adheres to its genre (crime/gothic horror). the gothic horror aspect in particular justifies the phantasmagoric, almost supernatural nature of will’s empathy, as well as it’s visual aesthetic (it’s represented through a hypnotic, pendulum type swinging motion). the gothic deals with topics of transgression, the unnatural or unexplainable, and most importantly the unknown. even if the show’s gothic elements aren’t exactly clear yet, the opening certainly maintains this tone. it’s why when the show moves away from the standard crime procedural structure, it’s not exactly jarring or beyond audience expectations (even unconscious ones)

but in all honesty, what really stands out about this scene is what will tells his students after. there are five elements fixed into the few lines he says (which I’ve highlighted below) and it’s all that’s needed to tie the scene back to theme and the show’s main through line

the first thing will says after he’s finished recreating the crime scene, returning to the present and leaving the killer’s mind, is “everyone has thought about killing someone, one way or another.” if the initial flashback worked to place empathy and psychopathy on a conceptual axis, paradoxically blurring the line by contrasting what we know about will vs what we see of will, then the above dialogue blurs everything even further. according to will’s worldview he, and as a result normal people in general, all think monstrous things. therefore, we all have the capacity to understand monsters

to will, humanity is not divorced from monstrosity

this is immediately followed by “be it your hand or the hand of god” introducing a new dimension for us to work with: man vs monster vs god. this gives his initial worldview a righteous edge. here we have a character who understands humanity’s capacity for violent thought, but it’s rendered through a type of divine justice. for him, there must be reason and meaning behind violence. better still, he would prefer it to be righteous. this of course sets up much of his dynamic with hannibal. they talk about religion a lot in the show. lines that immediately come to mind are “killing must feel good to god, he does it all the time” “is this meal an act of god, will?” “did god feel good about that? (violence)” “he felt powerful” etc. I think there’s also something to be said about how by thematically juxtaposing humanity with god, the concept of fate and free will also becomes implicit. we all think about killing, sometimes we choose to do it ourselves and sometimes god does it for us. who has power here? when does it stop being righteous? can one take on the role of god when killing? and if one does take on the role of god, would all blame be erased?

after this is: “now think about killing mrs marlow. why did she deserve this?” now we’re directly tying will’s dialogue to the flashback. to will, the death must have meaning. not only that, but for the perpetrator this must be righteous in some way. why did she deserve it? this line also adheres to the show’s genre and its conventions: this is a crime show, which means we’re exploring justice and injustice. again, thematic opposites. but, as he’s done the entire time he’s been on screen so far, will keeps blurring the line between these distinctions

he then says “tell me your design” which, as we all know, is a significant motif in the show. he says this all the damn time, after every murder. again, this brings forth the idea that the murders must have some kind of deeper meaning, psychological or perhaps even creatively. after all, “design” is an interesting way to phrase this. it sounds artistic, purposeful, imbued with meaning. however, the exact meaning of this is only cemented when he follows it with “tell me who you are”

“tell me who you are” is arguably the most important part of this entire sequence because, first and foremost, this show is about identity, specifically will’s identity. he recontextualises everything he just said in that moment, as well as the flashback we watched moments earlier. the design, the intent, the act of murder, and whether it’s divine or monstrous or purely human, is all linked to one’s identity. by understanding the murder, we understand the man. further still, there lies hidden commentary on one’s moral choices, as well as how autonomy fuels self-empowerment: we will understand who will is once he makes a choice to secure his own autonomy and power, which he does in the wrath of the lamb

it’s why he struggles to make solid choices all throughout the show, and why the specific choices he makes are so important, because whatever he authentically chooses to do will reveal who he is, no matter how hard he tries to hide from himself. he chooses to kill hobbs. he chooses to warn hannibal and gets his stomach split open in the process. if he hadn’t been so indecisive, he would’ve chosen to run away with hannibal too. he chooses to follow him to italy. and finally, he chooses to break him out of prison. because ultimately, once cannot change their nature. you cannot reduce him to a set of influences. he’s not a product of anything. he has his own design

and in hindsight, the questions raised here concerning will’s nature is resolved the moment he chooses to take hannibal down with him. the ambiguity of the resolution recalls the conflict between fate and free will, justice and injustice, and humanity and monstrosity (as set up in the opening scene) since although will actively chooses to drag them down the cliff, and as a result chooses loving hannibal over everything else, something he can’t really control anyway, he simultaneously leaves their fate up to god. it’s an act of faith. in that moment, when will finally seizes power and recognises who he is, accepting hannibal as his natural equal, his hand becomes the hand of god. in a final coin toss, will puts their lives in his own hands, and hannibal lets him do it anyway
