#it's a proto hannibal when you read between the lines. not to link everything back to hannibal the similarities are just really really hard

seriously how do you do accept a man who, by all accounts, has given you very little reason to trust him so easily into your life? not only that but to let him pit you against your fiancé and take advantage of the situation to situate himself onto your side. it's not like you don't know it's about picking sides either because every chance you get you go to him?? it's just so bizarre. and reading it as a queer allegory definitely makes it so much more. interesting i guess because dan is choosing between a meg who stands in for a heterosexual ""normal"" life and herbert who represents homosexuality and the way it's posed.. he just keeps coming back to herbert??? it's just so... both of their interests are piqued in each other instantly. going off the queer allegory herbert clocked his bisexual ass and decided to make him have an identity crisis that killed people
