So silly when people act as if you have to choose between terrifying manipulative murderous Will Graham and delicate trembling fawn Will Graham. I for one am bi

Will: Let’s keep it professional Hannibal, so hard he’s about to faint: God forbid we become friendly...

#he speaks in riddles all the time #even after he stabbed will he was still speaking riddles JUST TALK NORMALLY #hannibal #nbc hannibal #will graham #hannibal lecter #hannigram #nbc hannigram

Do you ever think about the fact that Will uses his glasses as his protection, a way to keep people at an arm's length but he never wears it in private with Hannibal. In fact during his first therapy session, he uses physical distance as a way to indicate he isn't comfortable or open to the idea of therapy, but not necessarily closed to the idea of talking to Hannibal because he's not wearing his glasses. During their second session, seemingly within a few minutes that physical distance is slowly closed, and they're both laughing and smiling despite the morose topic. In conclusion, they make me insane.

[tantamounttoflirtation]

I keep forgetting how funny the whole "did you just smell me" scene is until I watch it again. Its dead fucking silent and Hannibal comes up behind Will, looks him up and down, and slowly and hesitantly leans in to smell him like he's a glass of fine wine. And then he looks away all awkward when he's caught. Like bro what did you expect to happen???

#h talks #I giggle every time #hes a normal guy who does normal things . so normal #he doesn't know how to act around his crush #I feel like there had to have been a subtler way for him to do that #like idk take Will's coat and smell it when he's not looking. or offer the man a damn hug #anyways hes so silly #nbc hannibal #Hannigram #Hannibal #me when I lean in to sniff my boybestfriend

So you're telling me that the very night after Will whore Graham sent someone to murder Hannibal simp Lecter, the man created this?!

Will Graham not being scared of Hannibal, but so, so scared of loving Hannibal, being loved by Hannibal, wanting a life with Hannibal and what surrendering to that means about him. Gouging my eyes out btw.

#we talk about Hannibal's devotion and 'the monster being over come by it's own love' all the time but #I go REALLY insane thinking about all the fear Will experiences and how much of that was just fear of his own happiness #will graham #hannigram #hannibal #nbc hannibal #🪰

Rewatching season 2 had me really struck by the sheer amount of time Will spends performing for other people, and how few fully authentic interactions he has. In fact, I’d say one of the biggest through lines between the first and second halves of the season is Will learning how to wear masks, and then actively deploying that for the purpose of catching Hannibal.

(And how fitting is it that the promo for season 2 had Will wearing the iconic hockey mask? Not just a franchise in-joke, but a reflection of the fact that he “becomes” Hannibal in this season, begins to symbolically merge with him, to the point in which his own goals become clouded to him.)

It's a natural extension of season 1's establishment of his empathic abilities, where he begins to more actively use his ability to read other people and discern their motivations as a tool, or weapon. Simply telling the truth about his innocence doesn’t serve him - so he adapts a façade very quickly, in his faked tears for Hannibal and Alana. All of his interactions with others while in prison - Chilton, Lounds, Matthew Brown, etc. - are very deliberately engineered, and lean into what Will knows (or thinks) each person wants to hear - all setting the stage for him doing the same thing to Hannibal. Every word, everything about his intonation, is so precise - something that specifically struck me in this stretch of episodes was when he talks to Gideon and very carefully leans forward as he’s trying to drive his point home:

(And the body language, interestingly enough, is not just persuasive, but also mirrors the way Gideon sometimes leans/dangles his arms out of the cage when talking to others - and it reminds me of Will also mirroring Hannibal’s body language during the “not now that I finally find you interesting” scene, when he bites his lip in the way Hannibal so often does.)

It really highlights how so much of how he interacts with others during this entire stretch of the plot is a very carefully crafted performance, with so many of Will’s actual feelings and motivations subsumed into his manipulations. I remember watching the DVD commentary on Su-zakana, and they talk about how Will’s visible surliness with Hannibal was meant to stem from the fact that he didn’t want to be too friendly with Hannibal right away, because it would look suspicious. And I think that gets at something that’s present with how both Will and Hannibal manipulate others - they’re not necessarily lying about their feelings, just consciously using genuine feelings or motivations as a method of influencing others. With Hannibal, he frequently does feel genuine affection for others, and his care for them stems from that, but it’s also often used to put them at ease, serve his own ends. Will, for his part, is genuinely angry with Hannibal, but actively uses those feelings to fashion an aura of standoffishness. And of course, Hannibal has a genuine pull for him, and he deliberately leans into and cultivates that enjoyment for the sake of entrapping Hannibal. …Which of course leads to a situation where he has to put on a show for Jack as well, in which he downplays how deep into it he’s getting.

So it’s entirely fitting that the opening of Mizumono features the two halves of Will’s face - the front he’s presenting to Hannibal, and the front he’s presenting to Jack - merging, mask-like, in the middle of the screen.

They’re both the real him, and they’re both masks - and he gets so subsumed into his performances for others, the modulation and accentuation and sublimation of his feelings that they require, that he gets lost to himself (and is also terribly lonely and isolated). No wonder he’s confused and unmoored in early season 3.

#hannibal #hannibal meta #will graham #my meta #hannibal talk #both seasons 2 and 3 have a break in the middle but also some kind of through line - this is that #hmm something about how like... season 1 is about hannibal trying to convince him he's gotten lost in a killer's mind #but actually he's being manipulated by someone else #and then here he has more agency and he's the one working to deceive hannibal - but he gets lost nonetheless #in others' designs (hannibal's and jack's) and his own conflicting motivations

I need more hannibal mutuals truly because I love the blogs I follow but I feel like I only ever see hg/will stuff which I do like but. I need variety. The beast of my autism needs to constantly sustain itself on the whole cast of hammibal to feel quenched. Abigail hobbs mutuals though I’d fall on my sword for you

#daphne post #hannibal talk #hannibal is a rare show in that I have like genuine investment and care for more than a few #like I'm a pretty neutral consumer of media usually or fixate on a solo character / a couple #but hanibal............. something about it

[mothslimes]

hannibal is actually about how you can get away with anything as long as you do it confidently. like walking through a staff only door with no hesitation. but like, cannibalism

#mik talks #hannibal #nbc hannibal #hannibal lecter #is this anything #this was funnier in my head

Me when I’m angsty and gay and I miss my cannibal bf that I didn’t run away with but wanted to:(((

#hannibal #hannigram #nbc hannibal #will graham #god he’s so dramatic #we always say Hannibal is dramatic (he is) #but we never talk about how Will is too #dude literally sailed on his own over to Florence and made sure he understood Hannibal before he met him again #he’s soooo dramatic

It's always funny when an author on ao3 that I subscribed to for a specific fandom starts posting fics for another fandom that I'm also in. Especially niche ones. Great minds think alike I guess.
