#it's about blood as a metaphor

Continuing my first rewatch of Hannibal since binging it a few months ago and I swear to fuck...

The stretch of episodes between when Will shows up in Hannibal's office in his freshly showered and clean clothed state being all "I have to deal with you and ...my feelings about you" while looking up at Hannibal through his lashes as though 'aw shucks-ing' and acting vulnerable is gonna skate him past trying to have Hannibal murdered.

And the thing is that it DOES. It actually fucking works. Will can assume Hannibal's point of view and he knows Hannibal wouldn't be able to resist a contrite version of himself. One who made sure to arrive freshly groomed and wearing aftershave like a nervous prom date.

From then on Will is so sure of himself. He's gonna draw Hannibal out into the open and prove he was right about him being a manipulative murderer. He just needs to dangle the bait and reel him in. And the only bait Will has to offer is himself so...

Will gives Hannibal the perfect friend. One so interesting and malleable and open to suggestion, who intellectually spars with him, double entendres and all.

And yeah it backfires. Sure, he has a few interesting dreams. Can't even blame the encephalitis anymore for waking up panting and sweat soaked now... He's just been dreaming about Hannibal calling him beloved and talking about love before he arranged for Hannibal to be bound at his mercy and squeezed so tightly against a tree that he explodes in a gush of bodily fluid....

Man... Will really fucked around and found out huh?

The two of them sitting on the desk side by side not looking at each other and talking about how they'd kill each other with their hands and how satisfying they'd find it might be the horniest goddamn scene I've watched in memory.

I would argue episodes 2x07 through the end of season 2 are all foreplay, drawn out and delicious and heady because both of them KNOW it's a bad idea and yet they cannot resist it.

That we reach the season finale. At long last, the climactic ending where we get the anticipated penetration that Hannibal and Will really want, mind body and soul.

Yes it's with a knife but that's how these two relate. Mark my words this show is a fucking will-they won't-they romcom with violence in the place of tenderness and every other story beat the same.

Fucking brilliant. I love this insane show your honour.

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

imagine being a shy little intern at jujutsu high and getting the fattest crush on gojo because he’s just. so strong and cool. you idolize him. you want to be his friend. and he seems to take a liking to you; he’s cheery and encouraging and sweet in a roundabout way. you feel like you’ve grown pretty close to him.

imagine him falling asleep right next to you on a sofa in the cafeteria. you can barely tell, with his blindfold still on. but you scurry away to find a blanket, happy that he trusts you enough to rest in your proximity, ready to wrap it around him —

only for it to slip right off. rejected by his infinity.

(he never turns it off, around you.)

the theme of purity/uncleanliness which is integral to sam’s character is very much female coding but spn fandom isn’t ready for this conversation

tbh i never bought the whole "there's something special in callum's lineage and that's why he can do magic" when lujane makes it clear that magic isn't about heritage, but wisdom. its just that magical being are born with the wisdom, but knowledge can be learned by anyone. like, maybe, just maybe, callum was the first human primal mage... because he was the first one to ever try?
