Will knew Hannibal was in love with him

And that is what he used since Season 2 and through Season 3 to manipulate him. 

If Will didn’t think Hannibal was “capable of love” and that’s the “explanation” about why he didn’t know Hannibal was in love with him for all that time, why would he suddenly believe it just because Bedelia said it?

If Will didn’t “realize” Hannibal was in love with him until Bedelia said he was Hannibal’s wife, why didn’t he realize it when she said it the first time?

For that matter why didn’t he “realize” it when Freddie said they were “murder husbands”. He hated her and didn’t trust her as much as he despised Bedelia. If Will thought Hannibal was “incapable of love” why did he think that Hobbs was and base his entire profile around it? “He loves these girls.”

If Will thought Hannibal was “incapable of love” why did he say that Hannibal cared about Abigail as much as he did after he thought he’d killed her? “You cared about her as much as I did.”

If Will was totally clueless and had to be told by Bedelia that Hannibal was in love with him, that would mean that Bedelia knows Hannibal better than Will does.

Since Will is an “empath” who can “empathize with anybody” and he states that he is conjoined with Hannibal and only knows himself when he’s with him, how does it make any sense that this would be the case? 

Will seduces Hannibal in S2 based off of this strategy. To be “aware” of each other because they love each other. “No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them.” And to “foster codependence” with him. 

If Will didn’t think Hannibal was “capable of love” why did he tell himself that Hannibal had purposefully left him alive and then ran away because he was broken hearted?  

If that all changed sometime in Dolce because Hannibal “tried to kill him” again, then why did he “break up” with Hannibal after that to get him to turn himself in? 

Why would he think that would work? It didn’t work in Mizumono when he had betrayed him. But this time, he didn’t just betray Hannibal. He broke up with him. Their whole relationship was based on knowing each other, on “intimacy”, “awareness”. Hannibal said it straight out: “An imago is an image of a loved one buried in the unconscious, carried with us all our lives. The concept of an ideal. I have a concept of you, just as you have a concept of me.” The only way it makes sense is that the Digestivo scene was worse for Hannibal than what happened in Mizumono and Will knew it would be.

The idea that Will didn’t think Hannibal “capable of love” doesn’t make sense on any level in my opinion. It trivializes and basically retcons everything that Will and Hannibal had gone through together previously. And to accept that Will was even being honest with Bedelia about his “surprise” at her “confirmation” is naive. They are in competition over Hannibal and Will makes that clear from the get go. Bedelia plays along too. They needle at each other over their relationship with Hannibal. Will sneers that Bedelia “crawled so far up his ass” and Bedelia accuses Will of lying to his wife about his relationship with Hannibal. To think that Will is doing anything other than making her admit that Hannibal is in love with him, not her, is to severely underestimate Will as a character and as a master manipulator. He hates Bedelia and he never hides that. “If Hannibal does end up eating you, you’d have it coming.” Why would he rely on her to confirm such important information? The way that their conversations end is the key to reading all of their exchanges. 

The only reason Will goes to talk to Bedelia is to find out what her relationship is with Hannibal currently, how much she knows about him and Hannibal and when he finds out there’s nothing going on between them, he gloats that he’ll come back with Hannibal. He didn’t go to her for perspective or therapy or because he trusted her or needed her. And she wasn’t involved in the case. He did it because Hannibal ran away with her and not him and he was still pissed about it 3 years later. Season 2 ends with Hannibal running away with Bedelia and Season 3 ends with Will’s answer to that.

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY:

wait until it gets dark and make tea or coffee or hot chocolate, or if it’s too hot outside make yourself a healthy smoothie with your favorite things in it at any point during the day

put on your favorite underwear, it helps, trust me, it’s an old family secret (i’m not kidding)

if you have a pet, play the “how many things can i stick on you until you move or get mad” game (bonus points if they fall asleep, extra bonus points if a family member sees you and tells you to quit it, extra double ultra points if they join in)

rip a peice of paper into as many little pieces as you can

go to animeseason.com and click “random anime” until you see one that looks completely ridiculous (or actually good) and watch the first episode. repeat if it sucked or if you get bored halfway through

spend at least an hour making a music playlist for how you feel right now and save it for now or when you feel a bad mood rise again

curl up in bed and cover yourself with blankets and pillows and put in music and just lay there for a while (sleeping is also good)

eat everything

drink lots of water

it’s okay bad moods don’t last forever!!!!!! i promise!!! you will be yourself soon and there are people who love you very much, don’t be afraid to reach out to them

you are lovely

eat lots of bananas

The stages of entering a relationship a fandom

1. The “pilot” stage. You watch the first couple of episodes. At this point you have a paper-thin understanding of the characters and don’t really care about them. You still love the screenwriters because they are delivering a great plot and chemistry, and you are yet unaware of all the suffering these garbage-heads are gonna freely inflict upon you.

2. You binge a little. Your understanding of the characters is still poor, but you already picked out and fell in love with the two people you are gonna ship and SO WHAT THAT THEY ARE ENEMIES JESUS WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?!b?

3. The research fase. You have browsed the fanfiction and art on your ship and read what people write about the show on Tumblr. You are convinced you’ve never seen acting more brilliant or a story more interesting. This show is one of the best out there for sure.

4. You watch the show with the new appreciation for the characters, you enjoy every second of it. And look at that, those two are being thrown at each other by the writers! The thing practically ships itself!

5. You have entered the crush stage. You will now spend your days (and nights) thinking about the perfect individual of your dreams (or a few individuals), obsessively reading fanfiction and eating away at your own tears.

6. The creative stage. You have read many fanfics and looked at lots of beautiful art and now you decided to express your love for your fandom and try your own hand at it. This was a great idea!

7. This was a terrible idea. You’re not a writer or an artist.

8. You are in depression. After failed attempts to write a fanfic, you can’t stomach the idea of reading something, because it just makes you realize how bad of a writer you are.

9. You have also began watching the later seasons of the show, which are continuously failing to rise up to your expectations.

10. Your ship is not getting enough screen time. You crawl back to the “fluff” and “mutual pining” tags on AO3.

11. One of your favorite characters dies/your ship falls apart because one of them is getting married/the show devolves into repetitive tropes and becomes stale - whatever it is, you are bitterly disappointed.

You decide, maybe it’s time to take a break.

12. It’s the final season and somehow, with the return of the show, a hope in your chest rises once again, that maybe this time they’re gonna go through with it. Maybe just for once… it’s not stupid to hope?

13. You fucking moron.

14. Not that you actually expected them to canonize the ship. You’re not naive. You’re just absolutely fucking stupi-

15. The show is over. Actors come to the final comic-con, which you aren’t able to attend because you’re don’t have money or you live

THOUSANDS OF LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM CIVILIZED SOCIETY!!!

16. After weeks of brooding and whining you come to terms with harsh reality. Your ship isn’t canon, the characters you thought you knew turned out to be different, and the ending didn’t give you the closure you hoped for.

You start thinking, maybe that’s just life… Maybe there’s something wrong with you. Perhaps you’re laughable in your desires for life to be good to good people, for death to pass you by; maybe you’re dumb for hoping that true love could exist. You know, deep down, that life is short and unfair, and no-one will ever love you like you want to be loved.

With that you arrive to the final stage.

17. Denial. Now that you have cried out all your secret insecurities, you can continue to deny their existence and shelter yourself from concepts of unrequited love and human imperfections under a cozy blanked of fanfiction.

You decide that these characters still exist in your head, and no-one can set the rules there but you. Your life is in your own hands. You are free to search for love and hope for the best, because you believe it will be better one day. Even if life continues to disappoint.

18. To unwind, you sit down with your laptop and browse for new shows. You find a pilot for a series that just came out, and the characters are kinda interesting, so you decide to try again. Maybe this time it will be different.

19. Of course it isn’t you absolute fucking moron

“This is the love of my life, my soul’s one true counterpart and the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I would lay my life at his feet if he asked.” “That’s Hannibal, he’s a dick, we’re married, don’t ask me why.”

Will going full southern and Hannibal bring plagued by a whole new category of sinful thoughts

Type of fans when they have ships

The Beginner: Wait… you mean I can pair anyone with anybody??? you mean it’s okay if I don’t root for the official couple?? I can ship this guy with that guy even if they’re in different shows and still find content of it from the internet?? OH MY GO—

The Analyst: As proven from episode 26 Season 7 and from the novels I’ve read and analysed for the past 8 days they are clearly in love with each other! Look at the symbolisms portrayed by the show! This elephant right here?? Depicts that they are clearly not acknowledging the obvious sexual tension they have for each other!! PLUS LOOK AT THE INTERVIEWS!!

The Multishipper: Hi so I ship this guy with that guy and this girl will be their girlfriend too oohhh wait I want to have this dude too in the bunch oh oh oh hey I’m shipping these too!!

The strict shipper: This is the only ship that are meant for each other! They are not meant to be shipped with other people but I’ll respect the other fans if that’s their preference.

The strict bottom/top fan: So A is a top and B is a bottom and I will make sure that all of the smutty fics I make/read or fan arts I see/ draw are in that order.

The verse fan: I don’t care who is fucking who I’m happy either way.

Their ship became canon but the other died: WE WANTED THIS BUT NOT AT THAT COST!

The 5 stages of grief fan:

Denial: This can’t be happening! No I do not accept this! I do not acknowledge that this happened! A joke! A prank is what this scene is!

Anger: It’s the writer’s fault that this is what happened! Those producers did not understand the meaning of what they did! They should have known the amount of backlash at them would be that hard!

Bargaining: Perhaps they can still change it?? Maybe there’s a secret episode that they’re not showing yet! How about we make a petition to the creators to change the ending?? I heard from the other fa–

Depression: my life is a mess right now because of what happened. I think I need time and space to process my thoughts. *sobs at the corner holding their ship’s photo while looking for fix it fics and fan arts*

Acceptance: After taking a lot of time healing my emotional wounds… I’m now okay with what happened. Now let’s go read some happy fics, watch some happy AMV’s and fan arts!!

The “they’re doing something for the shipbase content” fans: hahaha wait I really want to make a fic/fan art/AMV so I’m going to spend the whole 24 hours - 1 week making them. Oh I hope they’ll like it! Wait no they’ll hate this-No! They’ll like it I’m sure! *uploads it on the internet* *5 minutes later*. No views/kudos/like/comment yep I knew it they hate it what was I thinking I–*1 view/kudos/like/ comment* Omg!! Somebody actually liked my work!! I’m so happy!!

The one who can’t make fanfics/fan-arts/Amv’s fan: I know I can’t make shit for the life of me but hell I’ll make sure to give love to every content about my ships! Also I’ll make shitposts/memes about my ships!

Their ship actually became canon fans: Wow.. To be honest I never thought we could actually make it this far. Huh. So who want’s to go and party? And by party I mean rant and squeal and make contents for our official ship?

The rival shippers: So that guy and that guy hate each other? Interesting. Ooh they’re looking at each other with hatred and competitiveness? Sexual tension. They’re forced to be with each other against their will?? Ship it. Look they’re learning to accept and cooperate with each other?? That’s love bitch.

The murder shippers: We completely acknowledge the fact that they are messed up in the head and that their love for each other is toxic and their co dependecy is downright concerning but since this is fiction and we are aware of what is real and acceptable from abuse and toxicity we will still ship this for reasons of our own but mainly because of the way they interacted with each other that if viewed, removing the norms and manners accepted in society, can actually be deemed as romantic. Here have some cookies and cupcakes and also have some intricate fanfics and fan arts!

Leather & Lace Romance Week!

Hello and welcome to official post for the Leather and Lace Romance Week for 2018, hosted by @vorchagirl and @blueteaparty.  This week is dedicated to celebrating all of the romances, potential romances, or dreamed of romances, in all of our favourite fandoms, and doing so in a positive, friendly, and accepting way.

So what exactly is the Leather & Lace Romance Week? The aim of this week is to encourage fans to create art, write fanfiction, or discuss their favourite romantic tropes. Each day is themed to a classic romance trope and participants can choose to either take a Leather or a Lace approach. That is, you can choose to create NSFW /smutty content, or you can approach things in a fluffier, sweeter, and G-rated manner. If you already have a piece of writing, art or HC that is perfect for this event, please feel free to share it!

When does it run? 12th - 18th February 2018 (Yes, over Valentines Day!)

The daily tropes!

Day 1. Two people/One Bed (12th Feb)

Day 2. Fake Relationship/Engagements/Marriage  (13th Feb)

Day 3. Valentines Day (14th Feb)

Day 4. Disagreements and Making up (15th Feb)

Day 5. Trapped Together (16th Feb)

Day 6. Friends/Enemies to Lovers (17th Feb)

Day 7. Soulmates / Destined to be together (18th Feb)

Are there any rules?

- Please avoid all fandom wank and negativity. Fandom drama, discourse, or anti-ship/character hate is not welcome. In fact, hate in general is not welcome.

- It should go without saying that sexist, racist, queerphobic, ableist etc. behaviour is equally unwelcome.  In short: Be excellent to each other!

- Follow the golden rules: Ship and Let Ship & Your Kink is Not My Kink!

- Tag your work if it’s NSFW and for all major warnings/triggers - it’s only polite!

- Please respect LGBT+ characters sexualities and pronouns

- This is a celebration of consensual romance, in all its forms.

- This is a sex positive event, and that means that all healthy and consensual sexual relationships are welcome. In the same vein, romance does not necessarily equal sex, and of course this means that asexual and aromatic relationships are welcome too, as are casual sexual relationships.

Tags & Thank yous Please tag your work with #leather&lace2018 within the first 5 tags if you participate so we can see all the lovely fanworks you guys are sharing!

Thank you to @bioticfox who made the wonderful graphic!

Signal Boosts are very welcome so we can spread the word about this event!

List of Vocal Sounds for Smut

I present to you a - probably quite incomplete, I’m sure I’m missing a lot of speech sounds - reference list and a bit of a guideline for the different ways one can describe the sounds your characters make whilst writing smut. I’ll definitely be referring to it, because I sometimes get stuck on exactly how to describe a particular noise. (aka, “he can’t groan again, he just groaned last paragraph”)

Sounds (noun, both independently and describing speech): breath/breathe, gasp, moan, groan, pant, whimper, whine, shout, yelp, hiss, grunt, cry, scream, shriek, sob, growl, curse, sound, sigh, hum, noise, squeak, snarl, howl, roar, mewl, wail, choke, keen, purr

Sounds (noun, describing speech): rasp, husk, drawl, plea, murmur, whisper, beg

Descriptors (adjective): loud, hushed, quiet, low, high, high-pitched, little, tiny, soft, deep, unrestrained, restrained, strained, breathy, rough, sudden, short, drawn-out, sharp, harsh, hard, thick, smooth, thin, heavy, impassioned, insistent, hungry, passionate, repeated, filthy, debauched, sweet, slow, deliberate, guttural, languid, surprised, husky, distracted, happy, pleased, satisfied, wordless, cut-off, bitten-off, contented, hoarse, extended, long, depraved, aching, choked, strangled, broken, helpless, shuddering, shaky, trembling, urgent, needy, desperate, wanton, shattered, pained, eager

Combine a descriptor and a sound for best effect - for example, “needy moan,” “pleased hum,” or “sudden scream.” You can even use two: “low, rough grunt,” “sweet little cry,” “desperate, filthy noise,” as long as you don’t repeat a word that means the same thing, unless you really want to emphasize it. Avoiding repetition is pretty key here. You don’t usually want to say “hushed, quiet gasp” except on rare occasions when it’s very important how soft the sound was.

Use your own common sense, as well; some sounds and descriptors don’t generally work well together. “Deliberate shriek” probably wouldn’t work well, and neither would “languid grunt,” but again, this is all very situational - play around! Have fun.

Feel free to add to my lists, use for your reference or pass them around. It would be fun to see a randomized generator made, too, I’m just too lazy to do it myself. ;)

I see all these people freaking out about Russia outlawing free speech, but have we all forgotten that one time they said you can’t print “suicide” in the paper, or state why somebody could have committed suicide? So then there was a headline saying “After A Fight With Her Parents, Girl Does Certain Thing For Certain Reasons.” And I just??? Russia is ridiculous??
