The secret relief Will must have felt when he realized he didn't kill Abigail, that he didn't eat her, and he didn't even get to absorb that before she was taken away again.

Yeah, he knew he didn't do it, of course, but a small part of him may have been like, 'did I?' How often has Will ever been truly sure of himself?

I was gonna make I different post about Hannibal’s face but then I discovered you can add effects to gifs

Sometimes I think about Louise Hobbs for too long and start going a little crazy.

Garret Jacob gets all the attention on the show. Abigail gets it from fandom. The absence of Louise is almost invisible. She’s not there. We don’t think about her.

We don’t think about her, of course, because she’s not in canon in the first place. She has no lines. Her name is not mentioned in dialogue. She only barely appears on camera.

Here is Louise Hobbs alive and well. Striking about this bit, once I was looking at it: she doesn’t look towards the camera, she doesn’t look towards her family members, and her family doesn’t look towards her. They move around one another and don’t directly interact. Look at it: Abigail and Garret Jacob Hobbs are communicating, here, in a way that she’s entirely cut off from.

(And, ok, listen, I’ve gotta sidebar. Even before Abigail actually picks up the phone, GJH is keeping track of where she goes. There are no clear frames of this tiny interaction, but look:

he’s keeping tabs on her. The minute she moves, he’s checking over his shoulder to see what she’s up to. By contrast, he doesn’t look at his wife even once.)

(One other thing about this tiny little scene of them playing house. GJH has absolutely no chill. He is tense and intense even before he gets on the phone. It’s not really possible to tell what Abigail is thinking through all of this--we know from later that she’s a pretty good liar--but Garret Jacob Hobbs is not subtle. He’s jumpy as fuck, and he’s probably that way all the time.)

Continuing.

The next time we see Lousie, she’s being shoved out the front door. Think about that. GJH didn’t kill her immediately. He’s not interested in seeing her dead. He’s using her to buy time in the kitchen with Abigail because he knows he doesn’t have any left.

The way I remembered Louise dying was with a cut to her throat, but look at it. She’s got wounds on her arms, on her torso. He wasn’t careful, or quick. He didn’t hold out his hand to her and ask her to come closer. He attacked her, shoved her out the door, and slammed it behind her.

That is the end of Louise Hobbs.

Hobbs family dynamics just. Absolutely fascinate me. (Too much.) I so desperately want to know what it was like to be Louise Hobbs. I want to know how much she knew, how much she suspected, and how much she refused to let herself understand. She’s the cannibal the show cares about the least. She’s the one who dies so that someone else can have a little more time.

The show constantly returns to the idea of murder as a way to break or make families. Besides the Hobbs family, there’s the children and foster mother from Oeuf, Gideon killing his wife in backstory, Lawrence Wells who killed his own son, Margot and Mason, and of course Dolarhyde’s obsession with killing families together. Louise Hobbs’s is a murder to break a family. She is, very literally, cast out.

We do see her one last time:

It’s interesting that, when Abigail sees this, Alana is the one who becomes her mother. Whatever you want to say about the long-term feasibility of the Murder Family, it’s indisputable that Hannibal was never interested in planning a future with Alana. She’s there nearly by accident. Holding a place meant for Will. She is not part of the plan.

If Abigail mourns for Louise, she does it off-screen. We see flashbacks to her interactions with Garret Jacob, but, after this, Louise never returns. We’re left to wonder, or to forget, all on our own.

♡ abigail hobbs ♡

today (august 6th) is kacey rhols birthday, which in my head means its also abigail hobbs' birthday and ive been thinking about her all day today so everyone say happy birthday abi!!

[festerwounds]

hannibal doodlez because ive been rewatching it :3 dont know how i ever managed 2 be normal and sane about this show

[deerabigailhobbs]

Finished season one of IWTV and wow, I really see the similarities between Claudia and Abigail. Two girls thrust into a life they never asked for, trying to make the best of their situation. Losing their childhood innocence because some men wanted to play family, and one really wasn't good at it. At least with Claudia, I think Louis is actually a pretty good father figure (Albeit, he did let Lestat live), whereas Abigail didn't have one.

And on a last note, FUCK LESTAT. Oh my godddd when he forced Claudia to look at her lover burning in the incinerator I felt awful for her. Every time his gay european ass curses my screen with his presence I feel nothing but disgust. I think I may actually hate him more than Hannibal.

Anyway, Claudia and Louis are <3 so I highly recommend!

@bi-the-way-drbloom mentioned stardew valley hannibal au on my other pixel art post and my brain ran with it. So here’s the murder family and their seven dogs.

They might be on the run, they might just be getting away from the stress of Baltimore/DC, who knows. Will probably works with Willy (not at all confusing). I imagine Abigail trains under Leah and explores the forest. Hannibal is of course house husband extraordinaire, occasionally offering his psychiatry skills.
