[a-pigeons-soliloquy]

genuinely what was randall tier's plan when he jumped on top of that truck? like, what was he gonna do if the guy didn't go out to investigate? what if he'd just... driven off??

[ghostforwhat]

speak.

Will in college, walking down some main strip just outside of campus, passing by a tattoo parlor….Will watching the piercer line a needle up through the big bay window, the red engraving of the shop title almost obscuring the view….The way he knows it’s a permanent sort of decoration, that he should shy away from it, he gets too much attention as it is…it’s only that his mind runs a comparison to the sticking pins he uses for insect specimens, the parallel it shows as the piercer pulls the new jewelry into place, threaded through eyebrow the same painful way he’s accidentally threaded fishing hooks into his thumb by not paying attention… his palms sweaty as he pushes open the door, the cool crisp scent of sterilized surgical steel filling his nose, the annoying clang of the bell alerting the employees to his presence…just his ears, he thinks, they’ll heal fast and his hair is long enough to cover them..

Hannibal 2.13 “Mizumono” with dialogue from 3.04 “Aperitivo”

[fatalism-and-villainy]

There’s a potentially interesting contrast between Alana and Margot in terms of - Alana has a pre-trauma self. Her life is very much bifurcated by going through that window (and the circumstances surrounding it), which for her marks the decline in her idealism and trust in other people. Whereas Margot can’t disentangle her sense of herself from the effects of the family environment she was raised in. There is no version of her that wasn’t abused, or that got to be “innocent” and ignorant of the world’s brutality. So there’s something in this scenario about the fantasy of returning to that pre-trauma selfhood, for Alana, and for imagining that there even is a non-traumatized version of herself to return to for Margot.

Lot of talk about Margot dressing in the style of wrap dresses that Alana used to wear in season 3, and about the scene where Alana helps her get dressed, and I'm going to take that another step forward and propose "Alana and Margot having a questionably negotiated D/s dynamic where Alana chooses all of Margot's clothes and styling, Vertigo-style, and specifically shapes her to be the visual reflection of Alana's former self"

I am totally on the "Will is nothing but a little shit and a dramatic brat" train. Am I the only possible person on it? Sure but I'm here nonetheless. The way he cops an attitude with Hannibal on the regular would've gotten anyone else murdered for their rudeness but when Will does it he finds it rather intriguing, but he definitely punishes him for the misdeed

I do think Will is a brat, especially s2b and 3 he has the biggest brat energy. Hannibal secretly loves it because he knows he’s only doing it to get punished.

I’m continuing this on read more, for reasons.

We should have gotten a scene where Hannibal is genuinely irritated and telling Will he’d better be careful of stepping over the line and Will casually stepping into his space and asking “what are you going to do about it?” With his little condescending smile. Hannibal pulls Will’s belt out from the loops as his answer.

[ear-motif]

hannibal coulda ended in s2b if when will got out of prison he pretended to have a huuuuuge crush on the chesapeake ripper. like hed gush to hannibal about this killer with no known face but will knows his heart and can tell he has a massive dong. he says hes gonna marry the chesapeake ripper and let him eat his brain. han would have to come clean hed be so jealous of himself

[graciereadshannigram]

rewatching Hannibal s2b and please fucking tell me why i have a pavlovian reaction wherein i see Hannibal and/or Will and become immediately horny

[newvision]

Just watched Hannibal put on Will’s jacket in Mizumono and sobbed so hard I gagged! What kills me about it is that Hannibal is so clearly heartbroken over Will’s betrayal. It must have been so difficult and terrifying for him to reveal more and more of what was underneath his carefully construed mask to Will throughout the episodes, something he hasn’t done for anyone but his victims since he lost his sister. Throughout S2b we see him warm up to the idea of a companion. He tests Will and Will passes the tests, until Hannibal smells Freddie on him and knows she’s not actually dead. He could have left, then, with Abigail and they couldn’t have proven anything, he could have had a comfortable life somewhere else, but instead he chose to give Will the benefit of the doubt, presumably against his better judgement. Will did what I imagine must have been the very worst thing anyone could have done to Hannibal. He didn’t not understand him, he pretended to understand him to serve his own agenda. He sensed Hannibal craved understanding and gave him just enough to be able to turn on him. I think that’s why Hannibal gutted Will and killed Abigail, Will is the only one with the ability to truly hurt Hannibal and he does, so Hannibal hurts him in the way only he can — and by doing so imagines he will be able to leave Will behind, start a new life, just as alone as he has always been, as the promise of companionship was a hoax — but again, he’s doing it half-heartedly. He could have watched the life drain out of Will, but he leaves instead of really killing him, so Will isn’t truly gone from him. He leaves, yes, but he takes Will’s jacket and wears it — so Will isn’t truly gone from him. And that begs the question — would he have done that for anyone before meeting Will? I do not think so and neither did Will. When Hannibal asks him “Do you believe you could change me, the way I’ve changed you?” it seems like he wants Will to say no, but Will doesn’t, he say’s he has already altered him, that he is just as much a part of Hannibal as Hannibal is a part of him. They are both so so torn - Will, who betrays Hannibal, but says he did want the gift Hannibal gave him, Hannibal, who guts him but in a way that won’t allow him to die. Will, who wants to catch Hannibal, but seems so accusatory and hurt when he says “you were supposed to leave”. He’s a good fisherman, but begs the fish to swim away, and Hannibal swims towards him although he can see the fishing rod. Everyone talks about Will running towards his own destruction for him, but so does Hannibal. They’re crashing into each other. I cannot get over it, ever
