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.
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

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.
WAIT-
So, i forgot this but apparently Will always takes his glasses off when he is around Hannibal. Which makes sense cause, with him, he is seeing his darkest and truest self.
And he puts them back when Hannibal surrenders to the cops. Cause he wants to be blinded to the things he once saw. Hoping that will mean he could have a normal life, like the one he tried to have with Moly
But sadly, a fulfilling life for Will Graham is not a normal life like the rest of the world. The life he truly desires is one with Hannibal in it, and he gets to a point where he can't hide that behind the glasses anymore.
Allow me to go crazy for a sec-
Will used glasses at the start of the show right? but he doesn't use it at the end, right?
What if he never needed glasses, and they were only a way for him to blur his own vision?
Cause if don't need glasses you will have blurry vision while wearing them. So maybe they could have been a way to say he was hiding his true self. Hiding his own "killer instincts" from himself, as a way to fit in.
He doesn't need them after prison, when he is killing ppl with Hannibal, or ever since. Cause he doesn't need them, he is seeing what his own brain wanted to hide from him. His true self
+When Jack wants Will to work in a case at the start of the show, he takes Will's glasses off. Forcing him to look with the eyes of a killer
I believe Abigail was a representation of a the possibility of a "normal" life for Will and Hannibal, together.
Like, i agree with some people in the thought that they had more of a connection with what she represented, than who she was. The thought of them being together.
Don't get me wrong i do feel like they had a connection with her (Hannibal cause she reminds him of Misha, and Will cause she brings his paternal side). But she was nothing more than a gift, in Hannibal's eyes. Something to give to Will, if he followed him to this life, or to take away if he felt betrayed.
So her death is even more meaningful if you think that it's basically Hannibal saying "If you can't have this life with me, then you can't have this life with anyone else". She dies, and their normal life dies with, like the stag did.
Will tried to keep her alive, cause he wanted that life. But he had been too late to that realization, the realization that he picked Hannibal. And Hannibal took that as him picking Jack
Will hallucinating Abigail was more of him trying to understand why he wanted to go after a man that had done so much harm to him, and to others. He found it hard to accept the fact he wanted to be/ become a terrible man.
Also,, I don't think she would survive a family life with them, she would die in Will's or maybe in Hannibal's hands (possibly as a show how devoted they are to each other, willing to kill).
Because no person can survive their relationship if not themselves.
So yeah, in all probabilities, Abigail (Father's joy), was destined to die in her father's arms, it was just a matter of which one.
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.
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 :)
i love to call Hannibal pathetic for this, cause he is such a calculated man, yet he risks everything for Will
He risks his life, his mind, his freedom
And at the end, he fully lets Will throw him off the cliff, cause he was truly vulnerable to him. And it's something that man would have never done before meeting Will.
With that, it's clear that Will changed Hannibal in so many ways, cause he turned him weak to his emotions, he became empathetic
Sometimes I watch the show and try to think of Hannibal’s perspective and it’s a total trip. Like. Imagine you’ve been able to control and pick and choose your emotions and reactions your whole life, due to being somehow psychopath-adjacent. And the only time you couldn’t was when you were little with your baby sister, and it’s probable that as your brain matured, the possibility of feeling and forming connections like that dried up entirely. You read the psychiatric journals, and occasionally there’s something about a man who can connect with others so deeply he can become an echo of them. And then you meet this man, and he mocks your comment about eye contact while holding yours.
An understanding passes between both of you that you have hidden depths. Instead of killing him, you bring him breakfast, and make him dinner, and serve him drinks. Instead of being able to toy with his mind without a care, you think of him and your chest clenches, and your gut swoops, and his face and voice and his rude little barbs invade your mind like glittering parasites that you can’t remove. These feelings are alien, and they’re also yours. You know, deep down, why you’re letting him live, why you stare after him, why you toe the line of risking it all for him. But you don’t want to face it. It’s terrifying, this horizon of who you are and can be that looms before you with no choice of your own.
Framing him presents a convenient opportunity for ridding yourself of this thing he brings on in you, this total lack of control, this fever-dream surrender that breaches the walls of your mind and the tics and tells of your body so effortlessly— but you miss him. You don’t miss anyone, and the one person you do is more of an imago that never was able to grow into her own real person. But the you you’ve helplessly become certainly does. You’ve become an addict. You cannot let him rot when his presence gave your monochrome world color, you can’t quit the drug you’ve always shunned. This is all a devil’s bargain, certainly, but you’ve already damned yourself, and all that’s left to do is plunge further. Oh and by the way. The infuriating man in question looks like this:
Like okay then, good luck not having the crashout of the century 😭
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 love seeing these posts cause majority of them are from teen boys that never watched the show and think Hannibal is just an edgy character (like Homelander style)
and i would LOVE to see these dudes realizing this show is incredibly gay and that Hannibal is just pathetically inlove with Will :))
Might be a little mean but god I am so fed up with that "nothing here is vegetarian" scene ALL over Instagram people thinking it's peak.
Like okay it IS, but where's my "I let you know me, see me"?? Where's "we could disappear now"??? "Isn't that how you found me"????, "think about me"?????
