Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham —Touching

Tbh, for a very long time I thought that the ending of Su-zakana was not addressed in any way later.

But some time ago I realized how dumb I am. Of course it is addressed, and it is addressed at the very beginning of the next episode:

WILL'S FUCKIN' DREAM. THIS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE EVENTS FROM THE END OF SU-ZAKANA.

I only just noticed during series rewatch number 23 that during the scene where Hannibal asks if Will envisioned him in Randall’s place and Will says that he did, and that he’d kill Hannibal with his hands….. their pupils are blown wide, as if we needed any more confirmation of the tension and sheer emotions swirling in that room. This scene in particular is so raw, they’re taking off their person suits just for the moment, letting themselves breathe each other’s air. Hannibal’s is old and translucent, a snakeskin mask that he wears like a shroud, Will is flaying bits of his off with a knife, trying to get the edges even as it clings. This is the equivalent of confirmation that you’ve found your constant in the world to them, and it’s as horrifically damning as it is euphoric— but either way, the implications of this exchange are a form of relief. The whole show is really about the beauty and horror in the changeability of how Will and Hannibal in particular can see the world and themselves. What begins as a disastrous nightmare scenario for both of them becomes a shared twisted version of the world, a shared state of being— folie à deux. The closest they could ever get to heaven is earth and each other, and looking back, earth without each other was hell in transparent disguise. You can see that their eyes are wet. The mirrored sections of light on each other’s faces cast reflections on unspilled tears.

I love Hannibal’s reaction here so much because for one, he looks genuinely shocked, and as he says, he can never predict Will, and he means it.

but also, you can see him mentally and physically composing himself for a minute. he can finally see the version of Will he’s been longing for, and it’s so much more shocking and sweeter than he could’ve imagined.

finally, look at the way his damn hand lingers on Will’s, as if he needs to feel the jolt of electricity he knows is burning through Will in that moment.

I like how while Peter is meant to be a parallel to Will, Peter himself isn't all that... conventional in that, he digs up the grave of his friend, stuffs her throat with the grave dirt, puts a bird in her chest cavity and stuffs her inside a dead horse, so that in this convoluted and absolutely mental way, she can be "reborn" while simultaneously pointing at his social worker as the killer. And it speaks so much of his own struggle with his head injury and the way he is being abused by his social worker, and his own need to be reborn from this horrible situation in which he feels like he is dying at the hands of his social worker. While there is innocence in his desire to see his friend move on from the abuse, and in this case, the pain from being murdered by the same perpetrator, Peter's mind clearly doesn't work like everybody else around him. But Will sympathises with him and is kind to him. He understands Peter even though Peter must not understand him the same way. And it's painful because the person who does understand Will is Hannibal. He hates it but he can't hate Hannibal, and he despises that he can't hate Hannibal, while Peter's abuser is a strict psychopath and it's easy to hate him. Hannibal can't be hated. So he pulls the trigger on the social worker, as a cheaper, less complicated and very black and white alternative to Hannibal Lecter. It's a very painful and well-written story about surviving a horrible, horrible person's abuse and being a victim, and their frankly unbearable struggle to overcome them. Will appears strong, but to be moved so utterly by Peter's story, imagine how much Will experienced suffering under Hannibal's manipulations. It makes me feel helpless.

They're so wound up in one another, there's no room for anyone to enter their lives.
