I’m not going to be comfortable with anybody inside my head.

Hannibal: killing must feel good to God too. He does it all the time. And are we not created in his image?

What did Hannibal really want for both of them & what’s beautiful?

This is all I ever wanted for you, Will, for both of us.

It’s beautiful.

If Hannibal wanted a murder husband, he didn’t get one. He got a vigilante out of Will, though:

Hannibal: In righteousness the lamb doth judge and make war.

Will never killed anyone innocent, but let’s not forget the not-innocent were all coerced by Hannibal into killing. Hannibal killed plenty innocent and ate them. Hannibal and Will are NOT morally comparable, much less equals, least of all lovers.

But, they did change each other, and that change, for what it’s worth, is beautiful.

Hannibal: If your intention was to kill him, it's because you understand why he did the things he did. It’s beautiful in its own way, giving voice to the unmentionable. 1x02

Hannibal knows that his cannibal life isn’t sustainable. Rather than rotting in prison without dignity, he prefers to die by the hands of someone who understood him. And Will was that unfortunate someone of his choosing, simply because Will could empathize with anyone, any murderer. There’s nothing special about Hannibal. He knows he’s destructive, he’s lonely, he’s the devil. He wants to be ended, by someone who can connect with him.

So, if Will’s intention is to kill him, it’s because he understands Hannibal’s reasons for killing, namely, power over others that is only occasionally justified as vigilante behavior. This, is what Hannibal always wanted for both of them.

So yeah, he was pissed at Will end of season 2 that Will didn’t hunt him down and kill him with his hands—intimate understanding—but instead sold him to the FBI lowlifes aka tried to save him. Whereas Hannibal wanted Will to end him.

Bedelia: You couldn't save Hannibal. Do you think you can save this new one? Your experience of Hannibal's attention is so profoundly harmful. Yet so irresistible.

It’s not irresistible, it’s that he has no choice. Will is not in love with Hannibal. Hannibal abused him and gaslit him and stripped away his every last chance at normalcy. Hannibal, driven by twisted jealousy, made sure that he is Will’s all.

Bedelia: extreme acts of cruelty require a high level of empathy the next time you have an instinct to help someone you might consider crushing them instead it might save you a great deal of trouble.

This (and Hannibal going after his family) leads Will to give up on law enforcement, to quit trying to save Hannibal (and the Tooth Fairy) by catching him, but to crush him—intimately—instead.

Hannibal and Jack chat:

God, the devil, or the Great Red Dragon?

You, me, and the Great Red Dragon.

God = law enforcement, the impartial spectator; the devil = Hannibal; Red Dragon = the psychopath; the lamb = Will.

Is your conscience clear?

As clear as yours.

They both have a hand in the making of the righteous sacrificial lamb.

Hannibal: All Gods demand sacrifices.

Will: I don’t know if I can save myself.

Hannibal’s planned demise by the wrath of the lamb is beautiful.

Will’s transformation from pariah /victim to martyr /victor is beautiful.

That’s all.

@rocktheholygrail saw your post and immediately reblogged her old post. https://www.tumblr.com/rocktheholygrail/733976270715731968/rocktheholygrail-hannibal-1x01-ap%C3%A9ritif?source=share　She often steals someone's ideas, but when someone posts a similar idea She won't allow it. That's why I don't like her.
