part four of my post-canon hannibal art series that I call world's most fucked up road trip<3 you can see the other 3 parts + some comics from the same AU here
This time including: a new house in a new country, opera trips, Hannibal massaging Will's bad shoulder, some new scars that I made up for fun, and Will's hair starting to go grey a little bit (which is a sign of growing older together and living a long life btw and that's beautiful). And, of course, murder.
Jack, Alana, and everyone else are like how does Will sleep at night after doing all that meanwhile Will is spooning a cannibal.
remember that one brainless anti who said "Will was happy!! He had friends before Hannibal, he wasn't lonely" as if Will didn't ask Hannibal, who lived two hours away or more, who he had basically just met, to feed his dogs and gave the key to his house lmao stfu these people don't even watch the show
One of my favorite things about Hannibal is that Jack is very normal and does not anticipate a lot of the things that happen because why the fuck would those be things that happen
Will is saying he needs to quit consulting for them because it’s bad for his brain and Jack guilts him into staying, fully unaware that “bad for his brain” does not mean it’s giving him stress it’s causing him to fully break from reality and believe he is occasionally the same person as a serial killer while actively losing time and his sense of self
Or that the psychiatrist they set him up with was psychosexually obsessed with him and also a cannibal serial killer actively worsening his undiagnosed encephalitis for his own morbid curiosity while also trying to convince him to become his serial killer best friend
Like it’s a dick move as a boss but to his credit I don’t think he could have anticipated what Will meant when he said he was having a hard time
The idea of Hannibal playing nurse to Will - cleaning his wounds in water and holding his hands and bandaging them - on one level there's an eroticism and on the other hand, so to speak, there's almost a Christ like quality of Christ washing the feet of all his apostles, in a way. There's - there's eroticism and religious symbolism in the relationship which I am constantly finding new levels to. - Bryan Fuller, Naka-Choko audio commentary
Middle-aged genocidal man who traumatised his ex and left him with eternal scars by putting him through the worst situations of his life and instead of asking for forgiveness like a normal person decides to go on a killing spree to get his attention back.
Said brunette ex who considers trust/falling in love with the genocide his worst mistake (although everyone knows he still loves him) and does everything he can to stop him.
This time: Will having the audacity to come into the kitchen and accuse Hannibal of doing things he actually did while he's innocently trying to cook dinner, Will rescues a dog, a museum trip (with consequences), Will killing someone who recognized them at the museum after the guy confronted him a couple days later, Hannibal lovingly washing the blood out of his hair<3, and Jack getting to their house in Cuba a little too late. At least Hannibal left him a letter.
(I hope you like this I've been working on it for months)
I NEED someone to ask Bryan Fuller whether, in his original 7-season plan for Hannibal, Chilton befell a progressively more unfortunate fate in every season, and if so, did he eventually die for good or did he survive the show with his last 2 lives intact?
You’ll just be casually watching nbc Hannibal and Will graham will suddenly drop the most romantic line you’ve ever heard, and you just have to pause the episode and stare at a wall to digest that shit.
