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.
OMG I NEED TO WRITE THIS-
hannigram au where you are born knowing your soulmate’s future biggest secret.
will has known his whole life about the "Chesapeake Ripper"-- the serial killer identity of his soulmate. he's had his time to come to terms with it. to accept that he will never be normal; but nor will his soulmate.
and so the first time the name shows up in the papers-- the first time his soulmate's kills appear as glossy exclusives on tattlecrime.com-- will makes goddamn sure that he's the first one assigned to investigate the case.
BURN very fond of how this one came out id like to tweak it abit later and print it out but for today its done!
i keep seeing ppl talk about a fic like this, and i think it's a sign for how my fanfic should go
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.
Radiohead is so them
Rewatched the pilot; time to rant about foreshadowing
Will wrote a standard monograph on Time of Death by Insect Activity, right? Well, Hannibal likes to use victims body parts to feed snails (i know they are not insects but stay with me rn), enhancing both of their tastes in the process.
Hannibal wrote a paper about the Evolutionary Origins of Social Exclusion, right? Again, Will is a very lonely and isolated person, mainly as a survival mechanism.
What i'm trying to say is: They both wrote about each other without knowing.
They are star crossed lovers, destined soulmates. Even in a world without the other they would search for things alike them.
Hannigram is not queer bait, Will is
He is the queer at the end of the fishing hook, baiting Hannibal into biting it
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 😭
i also like to thing that when Hannibal told Will "i gave you a child" he also meant "i gave you a family" in the way that Hannibal had also been Will's wife
There's something so awfully sinister about the fact that Hannibal was locked up, and content to be so, and didn't try to stir up anything in his time in prison ... until he found out about Molly and Walter. And then he immediately sent someone to kill them. To get rid of them. To destroy this life Will made for himself that did not include Hannibal.
Molly being Will's wife was unacceptable. In fact, Hannibal quite literally couldn't accept it. Whenever he referred to her he always said "the wife". Not "your wife". The wife. Not only is it impersonal and dismissive, it also sounds an awful lot like "the woman you're married to but doesn't hold your heart" sounds an awful lot like "the woman you're married to that can't satisfy you like I can". True homewrecker behaviour Hannibal
And Walter... Walter was just a kid but Hannibal didn't care. Hannibal isn't above killing children, especially this one who dared to fulfil Will's fantasies of being a father that Hannibal felt he had full control and power over. Abigail was conditional on Will behaving (and got taken from Will for his betrayal). Margot's baby had to be gotten rid of because Hannibal hadn't given it to him. Hannibal hadn't given Walter to Will either. He had to be dealt with, just like Margot's baby.
Hannibal is genuinely so awful when he's jealous. We don't see it often - it's usually Will's jealousy that we see (with Alana, Bedelia, Randall etc.) but when Hannibal gets jealous it's terrifying.
HI STAT-
