adventuring party 10.02 || hannibal 3.03

[cthulhum]

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

i need someone to hear me out of atticus and hickory so bad i’m not kidding.

i know this has probably been said a million times already before but it really strikes me how asexual hannibal is as a show overall now that i'm on my 4th rewatch

hannibal himself doesn't ever seem to lust after anyone in any way aside from will (and their love for each other is far from the typical amatonormative conventions society likes to impose on ppl)

we only see hannibal have sex with one person and it's only as a means to an end

hannibal clearly favors platonic connections over sexual and romantic ones, or at least shows his attraction in... very different ways than what's considered "normal", but his insistence that will is his friend despite stating multiple times that he loves him is very telling

and in the first few eps, jack asks will why the minnesota shrike would target young brunette girls. he throws out theories and suggests sexual motives, maybe? but there were no traces of semen on the body anywhere and then that's when will EXPLODES and firmly shuts the theory down by stating "no, he wouldn't disrespect her like that!"

will actually got to live the "normal" married life with a wife and a kid for 3 years but that was simply not enough. at the 1st chance he got, he freed hannibal from prison after hopping on a boat to see him in italy

mads himself (in an interview that i forgot the origins of LOL sorry) said will and hannibal most likely would never let their relationship "become physical"

their love and connection and yearning are SO DEEP that it defies typical parameters of relationships not just bc they're gay, but bc their love transcends any need for the dog and pony show that romance and sex often demands. they literally don't even need to have sex to deepen their relationship

in hannibal's words: "the very sight of you nourishes me"

claudia x abigail manifesto

listen okay

so claudia (iwtv) and abigail hobbs are narratively very similar right- they both doomed by the narrative, shoved into the middle of a toxic relationship that will destroy anything that comes between them. they both are daughters, forced to perform a role for far too long. they are both smart and manipulative and dangerous but somehow never the main characters, never the masters of their own fates.

however, they both are such different characters in fascinating ways- claudia revels in killing; abigail loathes it to the point that she convinces herself that she had no part in it, it scares her. claudia kills lestat; abigail agrees to help hannibal. (both acts of self preservation, but in wildly different ways) claudia sings in defiance; abigail bares her neck in obedience.

so i had a thought. what if claudia survived the théàtre des vampires. what if she came back to the states. what if abigail and claudia met. what if they fell in love. what if they committed patricide. x4.

what if…

completely unrelated but my ao3 is shrike_seventeen :)

[begun-to-blur]

what is it about hannibal that gets such a death grip over all of us... like yes i adore the show, yes every time i watch it i notice something new, yes there's a million beautiful interpretations ... but that doesn't really explain why it comes up in my mind multiple times daily. everything can and will be a hannibal reference.

Hannibal's antics in the A-Team call to my fairy-tales loving side of having people be kind to an unknown ugly and upsetting stranger to find out he was testing them and they will be repayed for their kindness

truly a missed opportunity to make will graham polish because he'd be precisely the kind of dad to give you a zadanie bojowe

Can the killer in me

Tame the fire in you?

Oh is there nothing left to do for us?

I am sick of the chase

But I'm hungry for blood

And there's nothing I can do.

"I scare myself," by Beth Crowley is so Hannibal coded.

[honeygrahambitch]

Ok so this has been on my mind lately. If you are new here you should know that one of my favorite headcanons is the fact that Hannibal and Bedelia had gone to the same med school in Paris(she has a french last name) where they had been frienemies suffering from ust and always striving to be #1.

And you know how I posted snippets about them now and then so I was thinking ...

[ghostboyx]

It’s fucking Hannibal season my dudes.

If you're obsessed with nbc hannibal you're also obsessed (or would be obsessed) with mitski. I don't make the rules

Hass Und Liebe by Miss Construction is very Hannigram coded
