wait, do we know how old hannibal is? because i just saw a picture of one of his documents that were used on the show and it says he was born in august 7, 1944?? which means he would be 68/69 in season 1?? what kinda skin cream is this bitch using, like, does he eat people to absorb their youth like a witch or something?
I think it’s a shout out to original Hannibal’s birth date. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I’ve been considering “our” Hannibal to be the same age as Mads, basically.
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.
Mary Oliver, from “In Blackwater Woods,” in Wild Geese: Selected Poems
