I am utterly captivated by this video series that Taryn Delanie and friends have been making on TikTok

Hannibal (2013-2015)

3x09 || 3x13

Thesis: Hannibal fell in love with Will even harder because, not after, but because of Will‘s betrayal.

There is this perfect wonderful boy you‘ve become utterly obsessed with ever since laying eyes on him for the very first time. In season 2b Hannibal looses himself within the utter humanity that the promise brings to, very possibly, have his wildest dreams come true: this perfect boy is not only becoming your friend after you thought you‘d lost that friendship, he sees you for who and what you are, accepts you, and wants to join you. Imagine the unbearable elation he must have felt when Will brought him Randall Tier, cooked with him, I mean, no wonder Hannibal was loosing his mind.

Now this man betrays you. We all know Will devastated Hannibal (and I think Hannibal was both surprised and not surprised about how strongly he felt), but he also stepped from a place above all mankind, a place right beside Hannibal, to a place above Hannibal. His very own cruel God. Not someone for Hannibal to shape, to guide through his Becoming just how Hannibal sees fit, but someone better, higher, someone out of his manipulative reach. I think he fell all the more for him because Will refused to be taken in, how Hannibal wanted to take him (and how a part of Will wanted to be taken). Because, as all mortals, he realised he was truly powerless before his God. Will would either come to him, or he wouldn’t have him at all. And that ruined Hannibal entirely.

Yeeees bbygirl

WHAT - I repeat - WHAT IS HAPPENING

the way will says, “you were supposed to leave,” so full of tenderness and passion and fucking fury, brimming with both affection and hatred for this horrible, beautiful man who has taken everything he has ever loved and then brought it back right before his eyes, and the way hannibal looks him in the eye, with a gaze filled with yearning and betrayal, and says, “we couldn’t leave without you,” so tense and wounded and emotional, and fucking hating himself for it because how could he have been foolish enough to trust this terrible adonis, how could he have been foolish enough to let himself love once more, and the way will looks at him, soaking wet, trembling in shock and longing and another emotion that he cant quite name, because he wants to, he wants this life more than he can put into words, but he also despises the fact that he is even considering this, the fact that he warned hannibal, helped him, and abigail is standing behind him and the man he loves hates is standing in front of him, and he doesn’t know what to do, and he is afraid that he is tearing in two, and the minuscule glance down to hannibal’s lips, for just a moment, as they are caught in each other’s gaze.

I don’t… I don’t even know what to say. Mayhaps I’m shaking

Since I'm delulu and I love to have everything nice and in order, and a lot has been going on lately in this fandom, I need to sort this all out in my head and I decided to share these facts that may indicate that we will get a fourth season of Hannibal:
