#Hannibal is so kind ❤️

[twitchylittlelamb]

so this has probably already been talked about in great detail since the end of the show (hannibal) but I just did a rewatch and I can't shut up about it. the incredible level of subtle details in this show is already insane but I noticed it much clearer in my rewatch during season 3 part two how quickly we see Will change.

during *The Great Red Dragon*, Will is back to mostly his pre-Hannibal self. We see him married with a family out in the country with his dogs and more specifically his clothes (I am going to be very specific about what he wears in this because it's these details that are so subtle but make his change so much more crispy). He's wearing very practical, warm weather clothes, looks like an outdoorsman.

like, reminder that this ↓

is how he shows up to meet Hannibal again for the first time in years. Glasses, coat, clearly clothes he would not think twice about wearing anywhere, kind of like how he dresses in season one. It's also in his expression and his stature (which bless Hugh Dancy for his portrayal of Will because I don't know who else could have done the subtle changes so eloquently)

now let me take you to the episode directly after (And the Woman Clothed with the Sun) he first sees Hannibal and has to come back to talk to him

i'm sorry??? Immediately with the crisp button down, tucked in, with the top buttons undone, hair slicked back, NO GLASSES and look. Look at how he stands and his expression and how comfortable he is, hands in pockets.

okay further evidence. And honestly arguably the scariest piece

it's the dead-eyed stare for me. We all know what happened to Chilton after this, and it's the fact that he knew what he was doing. God, Will was never more like Hannibal than he was at the end of season three. Clothes are not much different on purpose because he's playing the game now.

Sidebar that in almost all the scenes that he's bitchily talking to Bedelia, he's also very well dressed as if he's taking Hannibal's place in his manipulation of her.

By the time we see him in The Wrath of the Lamb, he has already decided that he wants Hannibal back. Vaguely suggesting to Jack to use Hannibal as bait for the Dragon, as if he didn't very well consider all the outcomes would likely lead to Hannibal escaping. The way they're looking conspiratorially at each other in the back of the van. How Will isn't even remotely surprised he walks out unscathed or how he doesn't question letting him drive them to wherever they're going to meet the dragon.

And once they get to the cliffside house, and they get settled and Will?

His shirt is tight, his expression is the SAME as the one Hannibal had in episode ONE season ONE, as he watches Hannibal BLEED OUT and wonders probably what they will do.

There are plenty of ways everyone that worked on this show displayed how Will was changing but I loved how they used his clothes to do it and how Hugh used his expressions to differentiate pre-Hannibal and post-Hannibal Will.

I could write a dissertation on this show it's insane and I will never shut up about my murderous gay husbands.

Hannibal (2013-2015)

1x07 || 2x01 || 3x11

I like to believe that Hannibal saved Abigail out of pure curiosity, mundaneness (not helping while being a doctor would be suspicious) and as a "means" to manipulate Will and then... it all got complicated.

I like to believe he saw an opportunity in her.

Hannibal wanted to turn back time so he would be able to save his little sister. And Abigail came along. Turning back time bacame possible and quite easy. He couldn't save Mischa, so he saved Abigail by faking her death so that she could start her life anew once they left the United States.

Hannibal turned back time and outsmarted God. For Will.

He saved Abigail. He saved the girl whom he was unable to save as a little boy and he proved himself better than God. For Will.

But… Will didn't admire his act as much as he hoped to and that hurt the little boy in Hannibal deeply. Hannibal killed Abigail like a tantrumed child. He was hurt and he wanted to hurt both Will and Abigail just as much.

Abigail was not his Mischa, she was Will's Mischa though. He couldn't save Mischa and he couldn't save Abigail. Trying to turn back time was pointless here. Both him and Will had to lose their Mischas.

freddie lounds is so funny. she antagonises violent criminals for the entire series. the stories she gets scoops on should be on the news but she writes for her gossipy private website. she's a sensationalist tabloid journalist talking about active serial killers. her hair is amazing. she's a girl's girl. she's career-driven. someone faked her death. everyone hates her. she's right about everything from day one. will's mad about it but he is doing murder now, so... 🤷‍♀️

how will found hannibal

[twitchylittlelamb]

S1. Ep .1 “Apéritif” 01.59 - foreshadowing Mizumono.

“He will die watching me take what is his away from him.”

[twitchylittlelamb]

I cannot believe 92% of people are wrong

Will literary admits in the show that he buys gifts when he's upset after he buys and beautifully wraps a present for Abigail. He gifts Hannibal a bottle of wine in season 1.

in 39 episodes of the show we don't see Hannibal surprising anyone with a gift.

Its also their personalities, Hannibal is someone who enjoys rare and beautiful things. Will cares less about material possessions but I think he would find a lot of pleasure in seeing an artisanal tea shop and getting to choose something unique for Hannibal. He would see something interesting, think of Hannibal and get it for him.

I head canon giftgiving to be a big part of how Will shows love. Predicting what someone would like and imagining their reaction etc.

whenever someone is like "Will is poor", I think they watched the show without their fucking ears and eyes because hello? Will was literally paying Bedelia in season 3 JUST TO BITCH AROUND, and we know for a fact just how insane her feeds probably are. he also paid Hannibal out of his own money in season two, Hannibal literally says that to Jack over dinner. WAKE UP FUCKERS THAT FISH SMELLING PSYCHO IS NOT STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY god knows how he handles his money and his little mysteries but he's fine okay stop judging him for not flaunting

my will graham scar chart

+ he was stabbed somewhere on his right shoulder as a cop (presumably between chiyoh and dolarhyde's scars? was never shown on screen to my knowledge so I didn't add it..)

[twitchylittlelamb]

[twitchylittlelamb]

Fav scene in Hannibal is when Will fully bites a chunk of flesh off someone and then there's a shot of Hannibal looking at Will with as loving of an expression as humanly possible
