can’t even be mad at him, i would have done some crazy shit too

hannibal lecter i see the vision you had, i would be yearning like a loser for them too.

i think there’s actually nothing better than being randomly told “I love you” after doing something characteristically stupid. Like what do you mean I’m a lovable person and I just did something silly and you thought “of course you would do that. I love you.”. No better feeling

Might be imagining things, but have you noticed how he first leans into the embrace, his face onto Will's shoulder?

I mean, he could've pulled Will closer first, without moving an inch. An act of power and having control over Will in his hands. But HE LEANED FIRST.

Maybe, only maybe, he NEEDED this embrace for comfort. It wasn't a terrifying gesture, it was meant for HIM, not Will. The embrace he imagined he'd get from Will, if they had run away together. The one that could've been a fresh start but it turned into a farewell.

It’s always “I love you” and never “I daily feel a stab of hunger for you and find nourishment at the very sight of you” smh

Are we going to re-enact the crime? You be my dad, you be my mom, and you be the man on the phone.

I just love how pathetic Hannibal is. Will is in the mental institution (because of him) and yet Hannibal is still leaning towards him.

But at the same time I also love how Will catches it on and does the same in order to manipulate Hannibal further.

[rattlebloo]

this is exactly what i was thinking but it’s put into words so, so beautifully

If you think Bedelia told Will that Hannibal was in love with him, you're wrong.

When Will asks her plainly, “Is Hannibal in love with me?”, Bedelia does not offer the comfort or constraint of a simple “yes.” Instead, she replies: “He daily feels a stab of hunger and finds nourishment at the very sight of you.”

This is no evasion, but precision. Bedelia is the consummate observer, the only one perhaps capable of reading Hannibal accurately not through empathy but through pure intellect, refrains deliberately from naming the feeling as love. Because she knows better.

To say Hannibal is “in love” would be to reduce him to the category of the ordinary. It would be to align his experience of desire with that of humans, those who love and pine, who miss and regret, who fall and suffer. But Hannibal does not fall. He devours. He consumes. His longing is not sentimental but carnivorous. He is not wounded by love but sharpened by appetite.

Hannibal and Will both occupy a liminal space beyond the structures that define conventional emotion. They are not simply men, but something Other. Beasts, Fallen Angels, mirrors of each other’s darkness. For Bedelia to claim that Hannibal loved Will would not only be false, it would betray her own intelligence, and her understanding of what Hannibal is. Hannibal does not love in human terms. He feels hunger, fascination, aesthetic rapture, a sublime compulsion that transcends the human vocabulary of affection.

And that is precisely why Bedelia’s choice of words matters. He finds nourishment at the very sight of you. That is not love. That is need on a mythic scale. So, no, Bedelia did not tell Will that Hannibal was in love with him. She told him something much worse.

"The mongoose I want under my house when the snakes slither by"

"Might want to crawl back in there if you know what's good for you"

"Hide us from the wrath of the lamb"

Point is, Hannibal has always seen something extremely powerful in Will. Since day one. And in three seasons we have only partially seen this feral side of him. Hannibal seems to be the only one who is aware of this and he is always trying to warn those around him, but he warns them with a sense of pride. He is not intimidated by what lurks inside Will, he is excited by it, he is ecstatic every time he gets a glimpse. Especially because he knows Will is more passionate and angry than him because to Will, killing is very personal, it's never just for fun.

few things i drew today! first time actually drawing in months and i’m trying to get back into enjoying it, i actually had a lot of fun with these even tho they aren’t the best i’ve done:)

[rattlebloo]

exactly, like, why are we still worried about the “gender” of the fabric we put on our bodies? it’s fabric. it’s all made up guys COME ON

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
