"Dr. Lec-.... Hannibal." He corrected himself, looking faintly nervous. "I um, I wanted to talk to you about something. I'm going to be out of town for a week, maybe two." [I am. an impatient fuck, and I changed some of my canon, it doesn't have to be in our canon though if you don't want it to be. I'm setting this like after Will heals from the guttening though [and I'm responding to that right now, my brain's flowing again :>]]

[not to worry, I am also an impatient fuck!! it's one of my best traits actually (me when I lie, it is a Bad trait in me); mattie bby is pretty busy td he said! so once we get to a certain point in the other one we can take a pause until our schedules align :P ]

"Hello, Will," Hannibal returned, pleased at the other man's use of his first name, amused at his self-correction. "I see. Is everything alright?" It was unlike Will to leave for such a long period of time. Perhaps he simply did not want to see Hannibal for a while... which naturally Hannibal was hoping was not the case, but it remained a possibility.

There’s one part in Red Dragon that I can’t stop thinking about.

Right at the start of chapter 8, right after the chapter where Will speaks to Lecter.

“Dr. Hannibal Lecter lay on his cot with the cell lights down after Graham left him. Several hours passed.

For a while he had textures; the weave of the pillowcase against his hands clasped behind his head, the smooth membrane that lined his cheek.

Then he had odors and let his mind play over them. Some were real, some were not. They had put Clorox in the drains; semen. They were serving chili down the hall; sweat-stiffened khaki. Graham would not give him his home telephone number; the bitter green smell of cut cocklebur and teaweed.”

It’s like this:

First and foremost, it’s been several hours since Will left. Will wasn’t there very long in the first place, maybe two hours if we push it, and for one of those hours he left Lecter alone.

Second, the first thing Lecter says to Will is this: “That’s the same atrocious aftershave you wore in court.”

Third, “Some were real, some were not.” The first part of the sentences following are real, the second parts are not. That’s the implication. Lecter is described only a chapter before as neat. He sorted the real and fake into two columns. What does that leave us with?

What’s real: Clorox in the drains, chili down the hall, Will Graham would not give him his home telephone number. We know these are the real scents because Will didn’t give him his home telephone number, a true statement, and it matches the columns.

(I’ve long wondered what Will not giving his home telephone number smells like.)

What’s not real: semen, sweat-stiffened khaki, cut cocklebur and teaweed.

What’s my point? Why do I bring attention to these details?

I believe the scents Lecter imagines are in reference to Will.

“Sweat-stiffened khaki.” We don’t know what Will is wearing (it would have been incredibly strange for Harris to describe what Will’s wearing, he almost never describes what anyone wears unless it’s important), but we can assume Will was sweating. From chapter 7, “He had to go to the rest room twice. He was numb.” Will is nervous throughout the encounter. Will is also, I have to tell you, the type of man to wear khaki.

“Cut cocklebur and teaweed.” I believe this is the scent of Will’s aftershave. Why do I think that? Lecter describes it as “the bitter green smell,” implying distaste. Further implying this, after he thinks of this particular scent, he sits up. He doesn’t like it. It bothers him enough to comment on it.

Also, I just can’t imagine why else he would smell cocklebur and teaweed, it’s really out of place if it doesn’t have to do with Will’s aftershave. I suppose it could just be a scent that he doesn’t like, but he pairs it directly with his main source of irritation, ie: Will would not give him his home telephone number. This implies a direct connection between the two, because both irritate him. The bitter smell and Will’s refusal.

Now, my main focus. “Semen.” When I originally read this passage, my assumption was that Lecter is making an educated guess as to why they would put Clorox in the drains. I’m not sure that’s the case. Lecter is the type of man who could smell semen underneath the Clorox, but the smell of semen is firmly in the “not real” category.

I’m just going to cut to the chase. I think Lecter is thinking about the scent of Will’s semen.

Why do I think this? Well, a few reasons. I don’t know if I believe Will actually smelled like semen upon visiting Lecter in prison. That would be a little bit… out of place? He hasn’t had sex in a while and he hasn’t masturbated. We know this. Don’t ask why, but we know this. It wouldn’t really make sense for Will to smell like semen. I mean, I could worm out an explanation for a possibility of how he could smell like semen, draft one of this text, but I won’t.

The semen smell doesn’t actually have to have been present. Just as Will’s aftershave and sweat are no longer present while Lecter is imagining them, the semen could be fabricated entirely.

I suppose my point is this. Why does Lecter imagine the smell of Will’s semen? Does it bother him? Perhaps all of these scents, real and fake, are bothersome to him, Clorox and chili included. It could irritate him. And he’s upset at Will in the first place, so it could very well be another straw on the camel’s proverbial back.

I don’t know if Will’s sweat bothers Lecter. Making Will nervous makes Lecter experience joy. He knows Will doesn’t like him, and he still sent Will a Christmas card. He likes luring people into a false sense of security and then ripping the rug out from under them. I don’t know if the scent of Will’s nerves would bother Lecter.

Okay, does he like the smell of semen then? Also debatable. I mean, he could, I suppose. Lecter is a man who eats human flesh. He’s not exactly the prime example of a person with “normal” taste. He could very well enjoy the scent, I would have no way of knowing either way.

Maybe it’s neutral. This three example case could be like this: neutral, like, dislike. Neutral to Clorox and semen. He likes sweat and chili. He dislikes Will not giving him his home telephone number and Will’s aftershave. That could be it. We know he enjoys food, even at this point, so he could very well enjoy the scent of chili. Somehow, I doubt prison chili smells as good as maybe other types, but I digress.

Why am I bringing any of this up? Good question.

I suppose, I’m just curious. Was the intention for Lecter’s obsession to be sexual? Or maybe not sexual, but romantic wouldn’t be quite the right word either. This book came out in 1981. A lot of early media depicting gay people did so exclusively by hinting at their sexuality with stereotyping. I’ve never seen someone (aside from Bryan Fuller I guess) who talked about this possible aspect of Lecter.

Lecter is described as small, lithe. He’s vain and prideful. You could say our first real introduction to Lecter is through Chilton, who states outright that Lecter knows a lot about Will. His first comment is on Will’s smell. He speaks with his head always tilted. (That one’s not stereotypically gay, I just think it’s kind of funny because whenever I write for him, I tilt my head without thinking about it) His final letter to Will ends with: “I think of you often.” He is, and I cannot stress this enough, highly invested in Will’s looks.

I just feel like, when you take into context that this was a period of time when being gay was highly frowned upon, queerness is mentioned several times throughout the book, Lecter calls him “my dear Will,” and while a cannibalistic serial killer being obsessed with you is a scary thought, wouldn’t, in the 80s, a gay cannibalistic serial killer being obsessed with you be scarier?

I know that Lecter’s characterization does change later on, in Silence of the Lambs and so forth. I’m not talking about those. Red Dragon was his first appearance. Mind you, he still rambles. But still.

I just wonder is all. A lot of people focus so much on his appearance in Silence of the Lambs, especially the movie version, but I ponder the early days, you know?

What Hannibal means: i love you and i want to spend the rest of my life cooking for you and killing with you

What Hannibal says: is there a child in your life will? i gave you a child if you recall

petty bitch

what hannibal lecter feels: *expresses his interest in will graham from the get-go, has said how interested he is in will graham multiple times, wanted to run away to italy with will graham, gave himself over to the FBI after years of staying out of jail because will graham said he didn’t want to chase after hannibal anymore*

the first thing hannibal lecter says to will graham after three years apart: “your aftershave smells stupid.”

[vanityloves]

one of jude and hannibals interactions includes: hannibal snatchin them up off the street to scare them (bc haha murdocs 'friend'); almost feels bad but reels when they almost vomit in his car out of nervousness. he drops them off at home and says sumn like 'murdoc told me to pick you up' before burning rubber.

they still see the other on occasion but jude books it or hides as soon as they see him. and constantly jumpy after the whole thing.

as they got older, murdoc takes jude to get their hair chopped - asking hannibal to get his guy, less questioning than murdoc expects but doesnt make a huge deal out of it.

hannibal is just like murdoc and sebastian where they'll never verbally apologize (or its rare/insincere/for something offhanded or small) his way of saying 'water under the bridge' whether jude takes it that way, he doesnt care. his conscience is cleared/he doesnt owe them anything now.

Hannibal Lecter: “Nothing happened to me. I happened.”

[kadywicker]

about the gay rep in tv shows/movies what are some examples you have? bc I totally agree and think it’s rather disappointing and sometimes I feel bad because I think I should enjoy the ship but i’ve learned i’m not the bad guy in that situation, it’s that they didn’t care enough to make it a real and interesting relationship.

oh god fjsdfasdf okay so some of these are probably unpopular opinions but i dont at ALL hate these shows or even these ships. and w some of these its NOT the fault of the writers but probably the networks involved. but... from one’s i’ve seen 

m*lec from sh*dowhunters which has like. some decent scenes but i feel like it couldve Tried Harder you know what i mean?

v*ltron. i dont even..... the whole shiro/his boyfriend thing was like. it was so much. what was that. why?

hannibal had 2 second wlw and that was like hailed as amazing representation that we were supposed to ship. okay. (i lOVE the show and this is probably not anyones fault esp considering fuller is gay and im p sure said in an interview that hes been trying to get gay characters in his shows for a long time. and hannibal and will are CLEARLY gay. this one is down to the network.)

i have like. SO MANY problems w star trek d*scovery but paul/hugh............. its a good ship i think and i enjoy it but it very much fits into the trope of “kinda main character is in a relationship w a moc and they dont get many scenes together but its gonna be hailed as groundbreaking and legendary anyway”

speaking of i know its the 90s but im still mad about dax & her trill girlfriend and they werent even ~really gay~ you see bc theyre ~reincarnated straights so its fine~ like fuck OFF

every single show/movie w throwaway line gay characters (im looking at you marvel)

d*adpool 2 w negasonic and her gf 

look okay listen i love the umbr*lla academy and i think the ship is good and has potential esp bc of its fans who make it wonderful but klaus & daves relationship was NOT fleshed out enough at all and like they really really really have to step it up next season so that it DOESNT fall into this trope and i hope it does bc it has some really good potential 

i also love the g*t down and like the above i think it has really good potential and isnt necessarily a BADLY written relationship it just doesnt get enough screentime but thor/dizzy. at least this one the main character was the moc! 

petra/jane r*mos from jtv. look i love jtv i think the relationship is cute but it was literally written bc ppl thought jane (the main one) and petra had chemistry and shipped them so the show was like oh we hear you!! :) and then made a new character who wasnt as fleshed out or important named jane to get w petra like. uh. okay i guess????

fucking. rosa on b99. look i know this one is probably the network and i think stephanie is absolutely wonderful & puts her heart into rosa but :/ her gf has literally been in like. 3 scenes and all of them are focused on her being like Hey Im The Girlfriend! Watch Me Be a Girlfriend :) i think the rep itself in the show is good bc its so rare to actually have characters say theyre bi and i understand that w a show like that its hard to do but we literally have kevin and holt who are right there and are well fleshed out w several solid episodes under their belt. and kevin isnt just characterized as being holts husband, hes an actual character w his own interests and motivations beyond holt. i just hope they go that route w rosas gf if she sticks around or rosas future partner whoever they are (even if its a guy bc its still not a straight relationship since rosas bi)

uuuh probably more but these are from ones ive actually watched or like. watched some of bc i dont want to speak on ones im not sure about. and anyone can feel free to disagree w these and this definitely doesnt mean any of them are bad ships or not worth being invested in i just think as gay ppl we need to ask more of the media we consume

You're the one who's making this an awesome mini series! I just love how you add sprinkles of human weakness and drama~ This is perfect! Now I wonder how high Sunshine's tolerance is when it comes to wine *whistles innocently* Oh boy, I am sure they won't end up with an emotional turmoil and Dr. Lecter's number saved in their phone which earns him a drunken "thank you so much" voice mail... with a side of some embarrassing blurt at the end which makes them nervous as to how he'd react to that?

I’m gonna be honest, I’m really, REALLY starting to like this. Sunshine has no tolerance, none. 

What had started out as an afternoon of cooking lessons had turned into a slightly drunken mess. Hannibal only feels slightly guilty about getting his Sunshine drunk. This was not how he wanted to get to know them. Besides, their tears over their ex-boyfriend were getting old. 

After the last bit of crying, they slumped into the couch, curling their legs underneath them, looking every bit as at home as they should. “Hannibal,” They mutter, putting a hand on his knee. “Thank you, for all this I,” They manage a weak smile, “I really needed a friend like you.” Friend? Was that all he was to them? He grabs their hand, kissing the back of it. He has to remind himself to go slow, their emotions are messy right now, they’re in a delicate state, it’s rude of him to-

His thoughts are stopped in their tracks as they press their lips to his. Despite their drunkenness, he presses back, taking all he can. It’s sloppy, but then again, they’re intoxicated. Their lips are as soft as he’d imagined, smooth, sweet, the wine still on their breath. 

He doesn’t know when they crawled on top of him, he just knows the feeling of their fingers messing his hair up, and the desperation in which they kiss him is a memory he wants to relive until the end of his days. They pull back, only to place several more, albeit chaste, kisses to his lips. “I think I should go,” They say, “I have work in the morning.”

“I’ll drive,” He says. “Yeah, ok,” For a long while neither of them move. All too suddenly, they takes their fingers from his hair, and stand on their feet. Hannibal laments the loss of their touch, but he has to get them home safe and sound. That’s his mission right now.

He completes it without any problems. He’s lucky, they didn’t even notice that they didn’t have to give him any directions to their apartment. He walked them to the door, earning him another passionate kiss. He’s so happy on the drive home he doesn’t notice his phone light up.

He’s in his study when he realizes the light is blinking, and indicator he’s gotten a message. He’s wondering if there was a break in the new case Will was working on. Unlocking the device, he finds there’s a voice message, and a missed call from his Sunshine. They’d exchanged numbers before they left. He listens to the message, delighted with what he hears. 

“Hey um, Dr. Lecter, I mean, Hannibal,” He smirks, he insisted they call him by his first name, they still slipped sometimes. “God, I’m so going to regret this in the morning. I just wanted to tell you, thanks, you know, for everything you do. I don’t think I’d be able to get through this break up without you, you know?” His smile widens, threatening to split his face in two. “You make everything so easy and wonderful and enjoyable. I really, really like you Dr. Lec-,Hannibal. And I’m sorry for taking advantage of you tonight,” The poor dear. Taking advantage of him? Never. “I just…thanks, I guess, thank you for being my sunshine.”

For evasion hour: Could you specify which “sexy cannibal therapist” you’re referencing (in your title) and why exactly you consider them sexy

I don’t know why anyone would find a therapist sexy unless that therapist is Hannibal Lec-

I’ve said too much
