Will Graham & the expressions he makes while being a meddlesome little freak

When he threatened Hannibal at gunpoint after being released from jail, using his empathy to visualize tying Hannibal to a tree as he confessed his feelings before killing him

Looking at the gory self-mutilation Hannibal had drugged Mason into doing before telling him to clean it up, taunting Bedelia by revealing that he's planned Hannibal's escape and will tell Hannibal to kill her

When he said "please" to ask Hannibal to go along with the FBI using him as bait while hinting at the fact that this was good for his plan, too, and looking down at Hannibal after Dolarhyde shot him in the stomach and he collapsed in front of Will...

I think the conclusion here is that while you might assume that the prideful, manipulative, brutal serial killer would be the obvious choice, Will is a more likely choice for the sadist of the relationship and has just as much of a penchant for bitchy cruelty and bloodshed as Hannibal. “You delight, I tolerate….” Sir. Your pants are smoking. The evidence suggests you are a certified liar liar pants on fire

I lied put your clothes back on we’re gonna talk about how Will KNEW Hannibal had a heightened sense of smell yet still leaned over him to grab those patient files only a few days before his and Jack’s plan was to be put into action. Will purposely went to see Freddie that day knowing that Hannibal would smell her on him and have enough time to escape while giving Will deniability as well

Alana Bloom: The Misunderstood Character of Hannibal

It’s a common sentiment among *Hannibal* fans to see Alana Bloom as bland or disinteresting compared to the show’s more dramatic figures. However, this perception doesn’t quite capture the complexity and depth of her character.

Season 1: Introduction and Relationship Dynamics

In Season 1, Alana Bloom is introduced as a promising forensic psychologist and a key player in the investigation of the Chesapeake Ripper. Her relationship with Will Graham is central, showcasing her professional dedication and personal warmth. She’s compassionate, intelligent, and genuinely invested in helping Will. However, she’s also placed in a challenging position: balancing her professional role with her personal feelings for Will.

Her growing affection for Will complicates things further when Hannibal Lecter manipulates the situation. Hannibal’s subtle interference places Alana in a precarious position, especially as she remains unaware of the full extent of his deceptions.

Season 2: Betrayal and Manipulation

In Season 2, Alana’s character undergoes a significant shift. Her relationship with Will becomes strained as she starts dating Hannibal, unaware of his true nature. This decision is driven by her genuine affection for Hannibal and her desire to support Will, who is increasingly isolated and erratic. Alana’s choice to be with Hannibal reflects her vulnerability and misplaced trust, which ultimately results in a heartbreaking betrayal.

Throughout Season 2, Alana’s character grapples with the consequences of her actions. She’s a victim of Hannibal’s manipulation, struggling with the fallout of her choices and the realization of Hannibal’s true nature. Her character arc becomes a poignant exploration of trust, betrayal, and the personal cost of being entangled with Hannibal.

Season 3: Redemption and Resilience

By Season 3, Alana’s journey reaches a turning point. After surviving the traumatic events of Season 2, she begins to reclaim her sense of self. Alana’s involvement in the unfolding drama of Hannibal’s final acts is a testament to her resilience. She takes on a more assertive role, driven by a desire to protect those she cares about and to confront the darkness she once was a part of.

In Episode 7, "Digestivo," Alana’s role is particularly pivotal. Her actions and decisions set the stage for the dramatic confrontation between Hannibal and his adversaries. Her confrontation with Hannibal reveals her growth and the emotional toll of her past relationship with him. She faces him with courage and determination, underscoring her transformation from a manipulated pawn to a decisive player in the series' climax. Her protective instincts and quest for closure highlight her character’s evolution.

In "Digestivo," Alana’s primary concern is the safety of those around her. Her determination to protect her loved ones, including Will Graham

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Alana Bloom may initially seem like a secondary character in the grand scheme of *Hannibal*, but her arc is far from ordinary. Her journey from a dedicated professional to a victim of betrayal and finally to a figure of resilience showcases the depth and complexity that might be overlooked at first glance. Far from bland, Alana’s character is a testament to the series’ intricate storytelling and the challenges faced by those caught in the web of Hannibal Lecter’s manipulations.

Her story deserves recognition for the emotional depth and the personal struggle it represents, highlighting the nuanced and often tragic consequences of being entangled with one of television’s most enigmatic villains.

finished the second season of hanibal, here are my notes

if take back part of what i said before. hannibal is definitely sexier when covered in blood, you guys have better taste than I thought

I miss Bev :((((

colour me unsurprised that Abigail came back, "if there's no body, there's no murder". Chekov's missing corpse, if you will

I did assume that this show wasn't going to be THAT gay, I was assuming moderate gayness, yes, but did not expect this level

seriously, they're confessing their love to each other every other episode, and I assume it's only going to get worse

if they kill Jack off I won't be best pleased, but I couldn't give a fuck about Dr Bloom, or whatever that idiots name is

I like that woman with the horses. she should've been allowed to kill her brother (who does a good Joker, better than the one from the movie, but that's a different conversation) as a treat

Don't you love it when they do this? It means it's PEAK

[cannibal-cvnt]

sorry for the poor quality 😭

I think sometimes people in fandom get mixed up with characters being a bottom/sub and being a twink, which only refers to a skinny body type and sometimes some fem presentation. Example #1 is Will Graham. Where on earth did the “Will Graham is a twink” fan consensus come from…. look at him…. look at him…. Ten thousand apology letters from me to Hannibal, good fuckinh lorddddddd

“I’m a good fisherman, Jack…..” Yeah no kidding, you’ve got a record-breaking trout on the end of that line ffs

They managed to hide Abigail's ear in mizumono and the 3. Season.

In mizumono they managed to hide her ear with lighting. It was a dark scene. So the never showed her in an angle or way to show her ear. Or not existing ear.

And in season 3 Abigail wears her hair open and so covers her ear.

And the same in the flashbacks.

In Aperitivo, there’s a scene where Will envisions helping Hannibal cut Jack’s throat, which has a lot of interpretations. Many see this as Will fantasising about committing murder alongside Hannibal, but I think it goes deeper than that. By the time Will hears Hannibal’s voice on the phone, he admits that a part of him has fully sided with Hannibal. So, this vision? It’s more about Will contemplating what might have happened if he had made a different choice, rather than just indulging in a fantasy.

Chilton’s conversation totally sets this up. When he hits Will with the whole “this is your best possible world, Will. You’re not getting a better one” line? Yeah, that’s some heavy truth right there. Will is a pessimist, and what he’s really doing in that moment is thinking: "What if I had sided with Hannibal?" Somewhere, in another universe, Will went full dark mode and betrayed Jack, and Jack ended up dead. But here’s the thing—Will isn’t fantasizing about the act of killing Jack. He’s thinking about the consequences — the inevitable betrayal, horror, and pain Jack would have felt.

Let’s talk about that dinner scene. Will is flashing back to the “sacrificial lamb” dinner, right before the big showdown. Remember when Hannibal was like, “We can spare Jack, feed the dogs, and leave Alana a note”? If Will had dipped with Hannibal that night, Jack would’ve been fine, technically. But the betrayal would’ve still hit the same, and Will’s soul? that betrayal would have left him irrevocably changed, soulless.

This is why Chilton’s words carry such weight. The reality where Hannibal attacked, but they all survived, is the best outcome for Will. Hannibal made the choice for him — by stabbing him and leaving him for dead, Hannibal prevented Will from becoming the monster he wanted him to be. Ironically, Hannibal saved Will by keeping him from crossing the point of no return.

We all know Will becoming Hannibal would’ve been the worst version of reality for him. So yeah, this reality? As messed up as it is, it’s actually the least bad. Will’s vision of Abigail in Primavera is all about his desire to run off with Hannibal, but Chilton is there to remind him that there’s no “better” world out there for him. It’s bleak AF, but Will’s choices all suck, and he knows it. The idea that doing the “wrong” thing might actually have been the “right” thing? That’s a thought too dark for him to even process.
