Radiohead Is So Them

maybe having Will wake up (after the Verger farm) to Hannibal playing the piano, and realizing why it was tuned..

Also Hannibal lovess the piano and i'm sure he would play something beautiful for Will

I think we as a society need to talk more about the fact that Will owned a piano. We were robbed. We could have had a piano scene.

Nothing on this planet can convince me that he wasn't a natural born killer. He's fucking smiling, enjoying the blood on his hands, even in his mouth. And then he looks up at Hannibal, as if he's finally seeing him in a new light: he's behind the veils with Hannibal now, and for good.

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.

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.

"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.

sometimes i feel like all we need to do to get a hannibal season 4 is just to bother streaming services

like let's comment on Netflix or on Prime's instagram/ twitter account. It's normal behavior for fans

cause all Bryan Fuller need is funding, so let's annoy streaming services until they fund him :)

Meta: The Beauty of Hannibal's Season Finales

The Hannibal finales hit different, and it's because they know exactly how to mess with your head. Each season builds to this perfectly agonizing conclusion where you're left with no real answers but a ton of emotions.

Season 1 ends with Hannibal pulling all the strings, framing Will for crimes he didn’t commit. It’s that oh no moment where you realize everything we thought we knew is flipped upside down. Will, in a sense, is now trapped in Hannibal’s web and you just can't look away​.

Then Season 2? It's pure chaos. Will’s on the edge, bleeding out, and Hannibal? He just slips away into the darkness, leaving us hanging with a literal cliffhanger. It’s not just the plot—it's the raw emotion between them that pulls you in, like two people constantly hurting each other and almost, almost enjoying it.

And then comes Season 3... honestly, do we even have words? The way it ends, with Will and Hannibal falling together off a cliff, literally and metaphorically, is both tragic and kind of beautiful. Their relationship is toxic, but it’s like they chose that end. It’s like a twisted love story where they both know they’re doomed, but together, at least they don’t have to face it alone​

So yeah, every finale is about the fall. There’s no escaping the mess they've created, and it's exactly why we love it. There's no redemption arc—just an endless, beautiful spiral into darkness.

Okaaaay time to explore the parallels between Francis Dolarhyde/Reba McClane and Hannibal/Will! ⬇️

In TWOTL, we see Will & Reba talk about what happened with Francis Dolarhyde.

"W: In the end, he couldn't kill you, and couldn't watch you die.

R: I drew a freak.

W: You didn't draw a freak. You drew a man, with a freak on his back. There is nothing wrong with you.

R: I know there's nothing wrong with me. In making friends I try to be wary of people who foster dependency and feed on it. I've been with a few. The blind attract them.

W: Not just the blind."

See? "In the end, he couldn't kill you, and couldn't watch you die", and that's true about Hannibal & Will.

The dialogue between Reba & Will reflects how Will used to see himself/his relationship with Hannibal. It reminds us that Will used to be wary, too. Better to be alone than in bad company. Before knowing Hannibal, Will was alone most of the time, and ofc you can choose to be alone because you enjoy it, but I don't think the way Will isolated was entirely joyful. He did it to protect himself. Because he knows that the very way he sees the world can attract people who are dangerous to him, can attract people who "foster codependency". He's seen it before, his "uniqueness" makes him vulnerable.

And for a moment, Will genuinely believed Hannibal was a freak. Once he accepted his true nature, accepted to adapt, evolve, become, once he gave in to his real self, he was able to be at peace with who he is ("There's nothing wrong with you") and with who Hannibal is ("You drew a man, with a freak on his back."). He humanizes Francis, in the same way he humanizes Hannibal.

Also, side note, but the "Not just the blind." line could be a way to refer to Will's empathy. He does see, he sees a lot, he sees too much. And that, too, attracts dangerous people.

In a way, Will and Reba are very much alike, because they were both able to see beyond what's visible, to get to know the person they love. Reba's blindness allowed her to see past Francis' physical appearance which he was insecure about, making him feel seen in a way he craved, feel loved for who he was, just like Will's empathy allowed him to see the art in Hannibal's murders, allowed him to sneak a peek behind the person suit and access who Hannibal truly was.

Later, Will & Francis talk:

And this resonates with Hannigram, too. Francis chose to only share a little, "in a way she could survive". Hannigram didn't. They both let themselves be seen, be known. They both changed the other, and got changed by the other, whether they wanted to or not. "I chose not to change her," said Francis, and I'm not sure neither Will nor Hannibal could have chosen not to change each other. They belong to each other so deeply that they actually don't want to trick the monster inside themselves to let the other survive.

"F: I would like to share.

W: You shared with Reba.

F: I shared with Reba a little, in a way she could survive.

W: You didn't change her.

F: I choose not to change her."

They will change each other so thoroughly, that whatever will come out of their mutual transformation, isn't Will & Hannibal, as separate beings, anymore. They are one. They've consumed each other to the point that survival doesn't matter. They embrace their own nature and each other's nature so entirely, that being together surpasses the mere fact of being alive. Being loved is being changed, and they got changed in the most complete way.
