it's so funny cause you can see that they never watched the show, cause Hannibal draws self insert art of him and his boyfriend as Patroclus and Aquiles (no gayer thing on earth, but still the least gay thing they did)
Gen Z “Alpha-Bros” on TikTok idolizing Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal and wanting to be just like him is so funny to me because
1) That’s a fag
2) Hannibal would immediately put them on his list, though the meat would probably be too rancid to eat
3) Hannibal’s purest desire in this world is to be Will’s house-wife who wears a cute pink little apron with a bow on it and who always has supper on the table for when his husband gets back from fishing
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.
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
"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.
Radiohead is so them
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.
In my Hozier era if u can’t tell

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ART, FOOL!!
THIS ABSOLUTE FUCKING CUTIE 🥰
Bill design belongs to @red-icarus my friend
I love their Bill. He kisses my bill
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.
Things I think happened during season two's therapy sessions/date nights we didn't get to see:
- Fucking, tbh.
- Sleepovers. We see scenes where they are drinking wine and it's raining and dark out, maybe some nights it was too late or the rain or snow was bad so H told Will to stay. He probably left early, maybe even before H woke up, but it could've happened okay??
- H telling Will about Mischa and his parents. We know Will knows more about Mischa because Chiyoh asks him something and he answers like he knows the story, so H told him and the "I let you know me, see me" was waaay too raw so yeah, 100% he opened his heart out to Will about the whole thing. I think Will also told H about his childhood.
- Casual talks about random shit. I bet Will changed the aftershave, or not but I bet they revived that conversation. Or about food preparation, preferences, too, I just know H wanted to know Will's favorite everythings.
- Little touches. Come on, H tucking a lose curl in those fireplace, wine nights? It happened. Will delicately touching H's lower back as he passed by a smaller space.
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.
