I Have Decided, That Against All Odds, I’m Having A Hot Girl Summer

I'm sure this has been said a dozen times already, but it always baffles me when people say "Hannigram isn't canon" , "Hannibal is queerbaiting", "the show should've made them canon" or anything similar to that. I see it less on tumblr, but have seen it elsewhere and it's like, did we watch the same show? Just because they're not making out sloppy style or having intense gay sex on screen doesn't mean they're not into each other?

Like there's a scene where Will straight up asks "is Hannibal in love with me?" and gets a confirming answer. Theres a scene where Hannibal compares them to Achilles and Patroclus. Hannibal turns himself in to the FBI despite being able to escape and he does it for Will! Hannibal is so completely, deeply obsessed with Will because he loves Will. The show makes it explicit time and time again that Hannibal is in love with Will.

And Will is very much into Hannibal as well. I think for Will it might seem less obvious at times, after all, he had a wife and a kid while Hannibal was imprisoned. But ultimately there's a reason why Will chooses to free Hannibal and go with him. They kill the dragon together and Will is the one who says how beautiful it is. Will outright admitted that he wanted to run away with Hannibal, and that want never actually left him.

The show itself coined the term "murder husbands". A character in canon calls Hannibal and Will that. Hannibal refers to himself and Will as Abigail's fathers. They wanted to run away together and be a family. The finale of those two on the cliff embracing and covered in blood is like the most romantic scene ever shown on tv.

Characters do not need to kiss on screen to be canonically in love!

And I think with this show that statement is especially true because of how many times characters *do* kiss and have sex, and it means nothing. Hannibal had sex with Alana as a way to manipulate her and have her blind to what he was doing. He didn't do it out of love. Margot didn't have sex with Will because she was attracted to him. The show displays very obviously that those things don't necessarily equal attraction, and I think it's completely fine that Will and Hannibal never do something like that. Their attraction to each other is still there!

my 17th birthday today! first day of never being a 16 year old girl again! (i’m still a 16 yr old girl in my head)

The moment I feel unwanted, I'm gone, out your life.

When I have no inspiration, sometimes I look through the marks I leave in my copy of Good Omens, and draw something from there :D

I've been emotionally slutty (shown someone I am capable of human feelings) lately, I fear.

If your mind doesn’t turn me on then nothing else you have will.

time is a flat circle huh

it's a beautiful day at the roman senate and you are a horrible goose

i have been yelled at by my friends multiple times for bringing up hannibal nbc in conversations at random times

Even tho this ship has so much angst potential I really like the wholesome side of it… maybe I’m corny but these two characters are so chaotic and depressed on their own, they also seem to (unwittingly) bring drama and toxicity in their other relationships already, lol.

Yet somehow in their comics together it’s almost as if they’re immune to each others poison-

sure, they mess up and upset each other too, but never in a way that leaves the other scarred, and they’re all about building each other up in the end.

There’s something so comforting to me about two “broken” characters fixing each other, and the way their dynamic/ powers work leaves potential for so much healing ❤️‍🩹…

Marvel may never make it canonically romantic but in my eyes it fully is already haha.
