I really appreciate the acknowledgment of Bryan and the cast's interpretations and plans because when talking about a tangible s4 those are things we need to account for. They hold a lot of weight in the production.

And now having listed off the aspects of their relationship that are most plausible:

Hannibal's romantic obsession with Will + possible one-sided sexuality towards him

Will's (begrudging) romantic attraction to Hannibal + the possibility there's no or little sexuality

The sensuality of it all

These leave me with a very intriguing possible flip in their joint dynamic.

Hannibal is free from the institute, having escaped his cage.

But now he lives chained, leashed to Will out of his devotion to him. Man is whipped. His respect and obsession with Will probably skyrocketed not only after the final scene with Dolarhyde, but Will's resolve to rather die with Hannibal than live without him.

And Will will definitely notice the power he holds over him and how to use it.

There's a lot of talk about will and Hannibal's relationship and what if it'd look like if we ever get season 4

And while I enjoy the fics and the psychosexual tension between them is insane I agree with some of the opinions shared by Fuller/Cast and some of the interpretations I made watching and rewatching the show are very different.

Like I do think that Hannibal is sexually attracted to Will. I think we can see the lust from him far before S3 and I could confidently say that he'd pursue a sexual relationship with Will if he was interested, but I can see Hannibal somewhere on the spectrum of demi-sexual. I have an impression that he's fascinated by the erotic (the intersection of death and sex is such a important theme after all), but he's not necessarily a sexual person.

We can see Hannibal use his sexuality to gain something (manipulate Alana), but not at any other point in the show, never for fun, for stimulation, never to satisfy his own needs.

Instead, he really seems to revel in sensuality - food, after all is a sensual experience. Eating another person can be seen as a metaphorically (or non-metaphorically) sexual act, and the way it's shown in the show is VERY sensual.

I've heard Fuller and Mads refer to him as pansexual and while that term is controversial lately, it coincides with my understanding of pansexuality: not necessarily attraction to a different gender but ambivalence towards gender, maybe even towards sex in general. I always felt like to me, pansexuality is closer to asexuality (the way I identified with it) or at least I chose to interpret it this way in the context of Hannibal.

I still find that Will is such a revolutionary presence in Hannibal's life that he might flip what Hannibal knew himself both in romantic and sexual terms completely upside down. I can still absolutely imagine him being perfectly satisfied with a romantic and non-sexual, but a very sensual relationship with Will. I don't like the term 'platonic' in the context of their relationship because I think their relationship is simply not platonic on either side.

And here comes Will's side of things. I'm going to agree with what Fuller said about Will being heterosexual but with some fluidity in his sexuality, and I think the intellectual and romantic attraction he feels for Hannibal could transcend that. But I can also imagine their relationship with no sex at all, just with this sort of... Deeply running sensuality that they already have going on, with an acknowledgement of a romantic reciprocity. We know that Will wants to be wholly and entirely possessed by Hannibal, and they don't need sex to have that. I'm still griping with whether it would be in character for Will to have this sort of relationship with Hannibal, and I also think one-sided sexual attraction in Hannibal's side would be so interesting.

People in fandoms like to have sex as the final confirmation of the validity of a relationship, as a confirmation of representation and I get it - because queer sex is important and beautiful. But I just want to step back and investigate this notion and maybe bring forward the idea that queer relationships can also be romantic, but not sexual. Or they can be sexual in unconventional ways.

If you have different interpretations of that relationship, that's okay - please don't think I'm treating my own impressions as gospel but I thought maybe someone else would find my thoughts about it interesting, cause it's been eating at me (ha).

I think Will and Hannibal should give each other vials of each other's blood and then take them as drink shots on Valentine's day.

then make out with the blood still in their mouths.

[psyxakia]

blood being red is so correct… the color of love

Looking at the hannibal tag its fun to see people watching this show and you'll see "the ending is soo good, topnotch show" and then you'll see "this show is peak gay. Gay porn should be ashamed" and i'm revelling to those reactions
