I think he knew Will would visit him. He knew Will better than Will knew himself
out of all the insane things that happened on Hannibal I think that most insane thing was that after all the time and effort and great lengths Hannibal went to so that he wouldn’t be caught, the mere prospect of never seeing Will again was enough to make him not only confess to his crimes but willingly enter federal custody just on the off chance that Will should decide to visit him. you know… just in case.

trying to save someone whose throat has been cut is such a fantastic catch-22 of helplessness honestly. you either do nothing and watch them bleed out because of your inaction, or attempt to staunch the bleeding by putting pressure on the wound and watch them asphyxiate with your hands around their neck. either way they'll drown, and your only choice is whether you're going to watch it happen, or help to push them under.
#🐉#IN FICTION MORE THAN REAL LIFE. not every throat wound is fatal. although if you sever the carotid artery or jugular vein#you are almost certainly fucked.#obviously if you somehow ever face this situation irl please do not stop to have an internal philosophical debate#about guilt and responsibility lol

Appleseed PDA montage to save you from reading endless pages of unimportant politics that don't amount to anything
also because I have nothing better to do, I'm bored, I'm moody, my gaming laptop is still broken so no BG3, and it's too late at night to start drawing after doing animation clean-up all day.
#Manga#Appleseed#Shirow Masamune#80s#This is literally every single one of these moments in the entirety of the manga's run#including bonus material#There's some great character writing hidden among all the infodumping and technobabble as well#But like I said before all it accomplishes is to make you frustrated#Because despite being written so well#Masamune was more interested in waxing philosophical than actually giving his characters the attention they deserve#Despite them displaying an insane amount of depth and complexity whenever they are able to#it's a very rare case where the characters are EXTREMELY well written and almost every moment they are on screen is amazingly well done#But the manga keeps demanding you listen to completely different side characters talk about politics for endless pages#while at the same time none of these politics have any consequence or relevance to the actual stories that happen on screen.#So it ends up with the majority of the manga is like listening to some guy you don't know on the bus reading the headlines of a newspaper#at you about political tension between two countries you have never heard of and will never feature in your life again#How do you write such great and well written characters and then be completely disinterested in actually putting them on screen?????

Same personality too:
— "You'll die in two days."
— "Good!"
It's uncanny how Peter Capaldi and Ludwig Wittgenstein are similar looks wise, please tell me I'm not the only one who sees it

That sudden realization that you're the Franklyn of your Hannibal's story, not his Will Graham.

The rarely-seen Fellows’ Library of Jesus College, Oxford 📚. Thomas Vaughan, alchemist and explorer of the ‘wild of magick’ 🔮, borrowed books from these curious old bookcases - and reputedly made off with a Welsh dictionary!
To find out about Vaughan, his alchemist wife, Rebecca, and his mystical twin brother, Henry, see my blog post here ✨!

It took me a while to realise Rimmer was an absolute God send for Lister the minute he came out stasis. Cus Lister did need someone to talk to, to keep him sane. But it had to specifically be Rimmer. Before, I thought Rimmer wasn’t really needed because Lister had the Cat to talk to. But after rewatching Samsara a couple times with the Cat going on about Archimedes getting hit on the head with a bath and then inventing gravy, I’ve realised he would’ve driven Lister completely insane.
So the first couple of years, Rimmer was absolutely needed before Kryten took over and he was left to step back. Maybe that’s why Rimmer is so hard on Kryten, because he’s afraid he’s not needed anymore after being replaced as sole protector of Lister? We do see that insecurity shown in The Promised Land so probably. He even questions if he was needed in the first place.
But obviously when everything else is mad and empty, Rimmer is the only one who would sit and listen to Lister and drink in every detail. Like the self-walking shoe story or Haley Summers.
So it’s actually somewhat proven that Rimmer is the reason Lister is still sane from the early seasons. Maybe not great in comfort, but great in listening.
#red dwarf#dave lister#arnold rimmer#the cat red dwarf#okay i made that more philosophical than it needed to be#oh well#but my point still stands that Rimmer was an actual life saver for Lister#through understanding listening and challenging#thank you for reading my Red Dwarf Ted Talk
