#Bride of Frankenstein

[ofteacupsandclocks]

OMG I just realised something.

So Hannibal was carrying an unconscious Will home from Muskrat Farm. in his arms. bridal style. (And keep in mind at this point Hannibal has a fresh burn wound on his back that has to have hurt)

And the next scene we see with them they’re already inside and Will is in his bed. Hannibal placed him there, looked after him. Dressed him in comfortable clothes.

So Hannibal carried Will over the threshold bridal style. He placed him upon the wedding bed.

To me that symbolises how Hannibal fully accepted his love for Will. His devotion to him. How he took him as his bride.

So when his bride rejected him Hannibal gave himself up to the FBI. Because that was the only way to show his devotion. The only way to stay connected, to stay with Will.

And then Hannibal from prison sent Will beautiful handwritten letters with swirling cursive. And Will read them in the dead of night by firelight.

And I can only imagine how jealous Hannibal was when he found out his beloved, his Will, had married someone else. Haw angry he was and how hurt. And yet despite it all he kept waiting for Will.

And Will finally came.

And then the scenes between Bedelia and Will? Even aside from Will’s jealous tone (that deserves post all of its own) it’s still insane how clearly they talk about Will being Hannibal’s bride.

Bedelia calls them both the Brides of Frankenstein. And Bedelia implies Will is Bluebeards (Hannibal’s) last wife.

And when Will finally comes to Hannibal he frees him, they run, they run together from those who would hold them back, who would keep them separate, who would judge their love.

They are the what renaissance writers would write poems about, poems of love hidden behind terms of friendship. Their love is forbidden and wrong and broken and heart wrenching and beautiful.

(Btw side note I’m not using the word bride to feminize Will but it’s just the most fitting for these scenes. Plus they used the word in the show sooo not my fault)

my version of the bride of frankenstein

[doktorblitz]

Just a Vic and Bride random thought

This is gonna be mostly me screaming into the void, so if you don't like the pairing kindly ignore the post, I'm not here for hate.

But I feel like Gunn really cooked on the two sex scenes in episode 2 in really different ways. Let me explain.

Obviously with Ilana and Flagg there's the element of urgency and rough and hard and now, and it is just a fling arguably, but it nails the new couple energy very well, she's (pretending to be) so bubbly and in love and such.

Obviously I will never not laugh at Phos covering for the man, and the implied lots of bruises the princess probably got from that door. Apparently she likes it a little rough, good thing that's some solid wood (the door, not the flagpole lol).

It's cheeky and comedic and played for laughs, quite fun.

And then there's the contrast.....I don't care how you feel about the implications with Vic and Bride, but Gunn cooked when it comes to giving us insight into the relationship.

There's the obvious mirroring body language, the leaning in, the fact they're so comfortable and open around eachother, and he's trying to make her smile and laugh, when he knows Eric is being an insistent douche and scaring her.

And then the sex scene itself is a masterclass in body language, which I never expected from the medium of animation.

There's the fact that they're clearly not doing this the 1st time, the familiarity in how they're moving, the synchronicity, it gives away that it's been going on a while. This is long term relationship levels of trust and familiarity with how your partner likes things.

And then there's the, pardon the pun, dead giveaway, or undead I suppose.

She reaches up to stroke his cheek, he leans down and kisses her pretty sweetly, and their fingers are entwined, on the other arm, all the while.

That's not fling or purely physical release body language, that's a full on emotional intimacy and vulnerability, they're being very long term relationship and fully emotionally invested by that point.

I find it interesting that Gunn doesn't give us an exact year/timeline of the flashbacks themselves, only a gap of aprox 21 years between the conversation with Eric where he threatens Victor, and then in the fishmarket when he's stalking Bride, with Vic already dead.

So sometime in those 20 years give or take, if she spent the 21st one running from Eric, they started and kept a pretty serious physical and emotional intimacy that compromised both of them kinda equally.

That lack of timeline makes me wonder about how long the relationship was going and how long he might've waited, or tried to keep her at arm's length, but in any case the body language part of that table scene is very well done. If nothing else, the writing and animation work was quite impressive to get the point across.

Right, hyperfixation rant over lol.
