think about the subjects ur learning the way Hannibal would talk about them

"hm. the mitochondria... a small thing, but with such power. without it, our cells would have no fuel, no function-- would resort to self-consumption, much like man in his last, flailing moments; a man starved of life. truly the powerhouse of the cell. tell me, will, are *you* the powerhouse of jack crawford's cell?"

end of year exams are kicking my ass, hannigram save me

HE WANTS HANNIBAL. AND NOTHING ELSE

just read mclaren's "bad dads and disposable kids" on moviejawn and ohhhhh

"Will’s interest in fatherhood feels both inherently queer and rooted in the performance of heteronormativity."

i LOVE this interpretation of will's fixation on fatherhood. through a queer lens, he is chasing something that allows him to deny said queerness. he projects masculinity and heteronormativity outward and onto the idea of family. onto the idea of a daughter. but simultaneously, that desire is shared, with another man. we are her fathers now. queerness is always tied to or involved with his attempts to have a child, except with molly. where he successfully and completely shells himself into a fake world where he is the man and father he wishes he could be. the person he is without hannibal

"Abigail lives ... in Will’s head long after she’s died ... She sticks around even after Will has scraped the last remnants of Garret Jacob Hobbs from his mind, because this version of Abigail is no longer a mirror of the real thing or even the product of Will’s empathy disorder. He’s a remnant of the life he could have had with Hannibal, a manifestation who says words the real Abigail never said because she’s long in her grave. A comforting presence who keeps Will tethered to the man he pretends not to want"

FALLS TO MY KNEES!!! EXACTLY!!!!!! !!! this is why his fixation on abigail last so much longer than his attachments to either of his other children. shes symbolic to him, she is a vessel for his emotions and experiences. she is a paragon of whatever he wishes to project onto her, perfect and unflawed and unscathed. he uses her to speak the words of desire, to inflame and spur his actions, his return to hannibal. she dies in his mind when he accepts what he wants. he wants hannibal. and nothing else

childhood hannigram au where during Hannibal Rising, Robert Lecter's work makes him move across the world all the way down to rural Louisiana. events proceed somewhat normally according to the books-- until Will meets Hannibal dumping his first kill into the bayou.

[moth-hannibal]

established Hannigram in s1 au. so like, late s3 Will and late s3 Hannibal in s1.

very domestic, very murder husbands. nobody knows they're married, they're fine keeping that a secret. they're both killers obv. maybe Will's the Biloxi Wolfman back down south (like how Hannibal is Il Mostró over in Florence) and just The Fisherman up in Virginia (where Hannibal is, of course, The Chesapeake Ripper)

absolutely has potential for 5+1 PLUS 5+1. Like,

"5 times nobody knew they were married plus one time everyone found out" x "5 times nobody knew they were serial killers plus one time everyone found out" do y'all see the vision

Insanely funny to me that someone looked at Hugh Dancy, Mr. Pretty-Boy-british™-Romcom-Male-Lead and went "oh he would go crazy as a wet feral dog/ autistic guy in an unhealthy, downright horrifying relationship with a freaky european cannibal" and was not only A) absolutely correct but also B) severely underestimated how crazy he could be about it

Rewatching hannibal.

Will is very defensive about how serial killers are portrayed and understood, that's why he creeps the shit out of everyone.

Like bro was screaming at jack in a toilet abt how the Garrett Hobbs isn't molesting his victims he just kills them with mercy.

hannigram yuri

guess what show I've been rewatching after three years :3 ngl I'm on season three and I'm sad cause I don't wanna it to bed over 😭

[moth-hannibal]

silly drawings i made when was first watching hannibal

[moth-hannibal]

“who’s the top??” “who’s the bottom?” “blank is such a bottom-“ “so and so is taller so they’re the top-“ listen guys. it’s whichever one has a harder time being vulnerable. that’s the bottom

[moth-hannibal]

Things that definitely happened on the show but we didn't get to see:

- Hannibal stalking Will's past. You bet your ass he knew who Will's parents were and everything he could dig on him.

- Will stalking Hannibal's past. He randomly knew Bedelia was Hannibal's psychiatrist. Like. How? When Jack went to her, Will was already in custody or a suspect, maybe even in prison idk. But like how did he knew that? And okay because this isn't even something you'd find on public records or anything so ?? He was doing major stalking.

GJH and Abigail switch roles, but not lives. she lives, he dies, just as always. and now Hannigram are her prey. (murder family AU where it's more like the family version of hired-asassin-falling-in-love-with-target trope on Abigail's side and psychological chase horror on hannigram's)

[moth-hannibal]

bodyguard will au that takes place during Hannibal Rising. will is hired help assigned to Hannibal by Count Lecter, and gets seperated from the main hannifam by some means or another ; picked up by Lady Murasaki and reunited with Hannibal when he's brought in from the orphanage / is sent to the orphanage personally by Robert Lecter to pick up Hanni. hannibal, seeing a member of his family that truly made it through the war, jumps into his arms almost immediately. when they're safe on the road to Lady Murasaki's, maybe Will asks where Mischa is-- and he begins to cry...

....fast forward like ten, fifteen years, and will has become more or less Hannibal's private assassin; he could never deny the boy anything, after all, and it was his duty to protect Hannibal from everything-- even if he must protect Hannibal from Hannibal; protect Hannibal from becoming a murderer like the men who killed Mischa. But Hannibal isn't a boy anymore, and is doing his best to convince Will of it, probably.

(Lots of "“If I have to save you from yourself, I’ll do that too.” " , etc. And Will having to look away whilst his newly-adult and oh shit he's hot young charge with NO boundaries whatsoever walks around naked with him in the room-- "What's the matter? I grew up with you, Will, nothing you haven't seen." and Hanni totally knows what he's doing LMAO))

[moth-hannibal]

love jack to the moon and back but that guy was NOT winning any awards in the reasoning department

will really was like "hi jack i have a GREAT plan, let's like pretend to have hannibal fake a prison break and run away and also maybe I could go with him even though i've told you multiple times before that i regret not running away with him when i could have"

AND JACK FELL FOR IT????

some more of y'all's incredible thoughts I'm not boutta just leave in the tags:

this was sooo very much the vision; <3

hannigram au where you are born knowing your soulmate’s future biggest secret.

will has known his whole life about the "Chesapeake Ripper"-- the serial killer identity of his soulmate. he's had his time to come to terms with it. to accept that he will never be normal; but nor will his soulmate.

and so the first time the name shows up in the papers-- the first time his soulmate's kills appear as glossy exclusives on tattlecrime.com-- will makes goddamn sure that he's the first one assigned to investigate the case.

[moth-hannibal]

hannigram college AU where hanni's a dual lit/med major and will is a general eng/teaching major and they meet at a party

Will's chilling sipping his drink on the house balcony and Hannibal's absolutely fucking WASTED in the yard below, starfished on the gras and shit. & hanni looks up, sees this absolute Adonis of a man above him, and shorts out. his drunk brain goes "oh FUCK . think. think. time sensitive question How Flirt Boy" and he ends up loudly quoting Romeo and Juliet at Will-- who's just tipsy enough to start quoting back
