OMG OMG OMG OMG

kiss alts and cast commentary my beloved

Rewatched the pilot; time to rant about foreshadowing

Will wrote a standard monograph on Time of Death by Insect Activity, right? Well, Hannibal likes to use victims body parts to feed snails (i know they are not insects but stay with me rn), enhancing both of their tastes in the process.

Hannibal wrote a paper about the Evolutionary Origins of Social Exclusion, right? Again, Will is a very lonely and isolated person, mainly as a survival mechanism.

What i'm trying to say is: They both wrote about each other without knowing.

They are star crossed lovers, destined soulmates. Even in a world without the other they would search for things alike them.

"a more merciful god"

Hannibal, S2E11 "Ko-No-Mono"

In the “Hannibal” novel, the teacup metaphor is used to describe Hannibal’s desire to invert time and reality and bring Mischa back.

That’s the heavy analogy going on in this scene, Mischa and Abigail as shattered teacups and Will mirroring Hannibal’s grief for his sister. "I wish I could give it back”: in a way, Hannibal is trying to create a reality in which he, as a more merciful God, gives Will his beloved girl back - in which the teacup, at least for Will, is able to "gather itself up again".

Imagine how Hannibal must have felt during Mizumono: forcing Will to re-experience Abigail's death and reliving his own trauma through Will, just when he thought he could have a chance to give Will what he himself would never be able to have back.

HI STAT-

im writing it dw!! i just need to get my ao3 account checked and i'll start posting it :D

Hannigram fic idea: post fall, they don't fight each other over forgiveness, past events, Abigail or uncertainty over their feelings for each other.

They'll have to prove fate that they are going to stick together and never let go, though, even if their hands are bleeding.

The fact that Jack doesn't talk about the lamb. Cause he is too focused on the fight between him and Hannibal (and the Red Dragon), so he doesn't talk about Will, he doesn't care about Wills perspective or for his well being, for him Will is indeed just a tool, just fine china.

He only cares for Will when he needs to catch something, or someone. Then, he is back on the shelf, not even to be cared for.

But Hannibal reminds him of the Lamb. Cause for Hannibal, Will is extremely important. His becoming is the most important thing in Hannibal's life.

His wrath is not one to be looked over.

And at the end of the day, Will did push himself over the edge. As Jack was way too focused on the "big killers" to not notice him.

God's sacrificial lamb turned to the devil's side.

i also like to thing that when Hannibal told Will "i gave you a child" he also meant "i gave you a family" in the way that Hannibal had also been Will's wife

There's something so awfully sinister about the fact that Hannibal was locked up, and content to be so, and didn't try to stir up anything in his time in prison ... until he found out about Molly and Walter. And then he immediately sent someone to kill them. To get rid of them. To destroy this life Will made for himself that did not include Hannibal.

Molly being Will's wife was unacceptable. In fact, Hannibal quite literally couldn't accept it. Whenever he referred to her he always said "the wife". Not "your wife". The wife. Not only is it impersonal and dismissive, it also sounds an awful lot like "the woman you're married to but doesn't hold your heart" sounds an awful lot like "the woman you're married to that can't satisfy you like I can". True homewrecker behaviour Hannibal

And Walter... Walter was just a kid but Hannibal didn't care. Hannibal isn't above killing children, especially this one who dared to fulfil Will's fantasies of being a father that Hannibal felt he had full control and power over. Abigail was conditional on Will behaving (and got taken from Will for his betrayal). Margot's baby had to be gotten rid of because Hannibal hadn't given it to him. Hannibal hadn't given Walter to Will either. He had to be dealt with, just like Margot's baby.

Hannibal is genuinely so awful when he's jealous. We don't see it often - it's usually Will's jealousy that we see (with Alana, Bedelia, Randall etc.) but when Hannibal gets jealous it's terrifying.

(apart from the year differences) it would make sense cause both Hannibal and House studied at John's Hopkins medical school and could have known each other.

But i imagine they didn't go to a hospital more like Hannibal called House and House got interested on what happened so he went with Wilson to help them

What if I was insane and said Hannibal x House m.d crossover.

Wilson: They're serial killers House! And not to mention CANNIBALS!?

House: Waste not want not, Wilson

Meanwhile hannigram are vibing as if they're not fresh out of the sea and Will is glaring at anyone and everyone while Hannibal complains about hospital food.

I just verified my Ao3 account (haven't even published anything) and i've been hit with a fever

I feel the Ao3 curse has hit me prematurely

In my Hozier era if u can’t tell

I feel such deep love and hatred towards Hannibal as a show.

I love it for all that it is; as it in tails all that i love. All the psychological aspects, the duality, the gruesomeness, the love, the art, the brutality, the beauty, the religious aspects. All that you can read between the lines of dialogue, filled with metaphors and ethical dilemas. Everything has a meaning.

I hate it for all the same reasons. It's too perfect, too endearing, too addictive; it will always make me wish for more, another season, another scene.

I think about its beauty daily. I wake up happy to have ever been able to lay my eyes upon such masterpiece, and fall asleep sad that i'll never be able to experience it for the first time again. And the fact that it, as a show, was supposed to be much longer, makes me feel hollow.

This show has made me feel such a range of emotions, only for it to strip me away from them.

It shows a love so raw that you can feel its heart beating in your hand. It is about our great desire to be understood. We all want to be understood, loved for all our darkest parts. Just like they love each other

And there won't ever be anything alike, no media could strive to be as good. The only way i have found solace in this, is through fanfics, works made with the same love shared between the characters. Only the fans can truly appreciate its glory, and with it, they can replicate it.

-

And that is exactly what that show wants you to feel, cause that is what Will and Hannibal feel for each other. They can't survive separation, they will always be in constant need of each other.

I am sorry for being too poetic, i will forever miss them, and they will always live in my mind. I could talk about them for hours if anyone would care to listen.
