When People Talk About Intentional Plurality I Beg Them To Look Into IFS. I Saw A Post Recently About

Season 1 finale:

Season 2 finale:

Season 3 finale:

okay so, i know that most people go into NBC Hannibal knowing that Hannibal is the main killer. But one thing i don’t see people talk about is the immediate foreshadowing we get that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper, aka the person who created the wound man tableau, before we even knew that he MADE the wound man tableau.

i haven’t seen anyone talk about this by the way, like not a single soul do so much as acknowledge it. so i don’t know if this is common knowledge throughout the fandom??? or if it’s something most people don’t notice (to be fair, i didn’t notice it either on my first watch) but i’ll point it out for people who didn’t realize it nonetheless.

in episode 1 season 1, Apéritif, when we first see Jack Crawford meet Hannibal, there is a scene where Jack goes over and looks at Hannibal’s artwork. There is a piece of paper underneath the artwork.

what is this piece of paper, you may ask? It’s LITERALLY the wound man LMFAO.

i find this really funny because it’s a direct parallel to the scene with Miriam Lass, where she is sifting through Hannibal’s art and notices another image of the wound man.

it’s yet another portrayal of just how unobservant Jack Crawford is to who Hannibal Lecter truly is, despite it being right in front of his eyes. Because Hannibal isn’t even truly hiding it. It’s literally right there and Jack, a man who is both Chief of the BAU and the man who lead the Chesapeake Ripper case, doesn’t notice it. And Jack clearly doesn’t have an issue with overstepping boundaries, because he literally gets all up in Will’s face in the same episode, so he definitely COULD’VE moved the paper LOL

this isn’t even Jack hate btw. I literally love that guy. I just find this SO HUMOROUS considering that he was so defensive about Hannibal not being the Chesapeake Ripper when Will approached him with it when it was RIGHT THERE!!!

i forgot to post here

duuuude…. this is so smart

okay im entering the debate on what celestial symbol scar is. I saw someone said "Scars" and i am standing by that. I'm gonna quote them on this, they said "The sun, the moon, the stars, and mars... and yet. we're nothing without scars"

and this. is so damn accurate. Because scar has had such a hard time throughout the seasons.

in 3rd life, he stuck by grian to the end, only to be forced to fight and lose.

only having one consistent ally in LL and constantly trying to get back to grian and the southlands, which eventually caused his demise multiple times

in double life, forced to team up with grian, thinking that it'd be like the old days in 3L, only to be backstabbed and passed over for someone better.

in limited life, he's constantly chasing the title of favorite son, ignoring grian all the while, except when he's trying to hurt grian, like he's attempting to get grian to feel what he felt through all those seasons.

and then in secret life. in secret life, both him and grian were without allies 80% of the time. for scar to be forced to play the villian and actually commit to it. time and time again. in the finale, to finally trust someone, only to betray them at the very end.

it's like coming full circle. Grian and Scar fighting together in 3L and to turn on each other in the end. Grian dying by falling off a cliff. Then in Secret Life, for Scar and Pearl (pearl, who is reffered to as siblings with grian on occasion!!) to fight together in the finale, only for scar to punch her off a cliff. It's him reliving his scars and finally taking his victory and choosing, not forced to die.

he carried all his scars with him, season after season. Scar's celestial symbol just has to be Scars.
