In another world, in another life.

I’m so mad at season 3 for making me want this. For making me think this is even remotely possible or good.

sorry these pics are so rough around the edges - did them all in a single session and now I am dead. Dead like Hannibal made my feelings.

Hunger is obviously a major theme in Hannibal—it’s literally the cannibal show—but the difference in how that’s portrayed with Hannigram is intriguing.

Hannibal was starving for connection before he had Will, and then everything changed for him. As Bedelia tells Will, “Did he daily feel a stab of hunger, and find nourishment at the very sight of you? Yes.” Hannibal’s hunger is sated by so much as the sight of Will. A mere look at him is enough to satisfy him.

But Will is different. Rather than being sated by his connection with Hannibal, it is the very thing that makes him hungry. There’s a frame in the Italy chapter that makes it look like he’s trapped in a starvation cage. In the script for his sailing scene, he’s literally described to look hungry:

Both Hannibal and Will have a possessive, obsessive, all-consuming love for one another, but it affects them quite differently. Hannibal is nourished by the very sight of Will, but for Will, no amount of the profound attention he experiences from Hannibal can fully sate his hunger—it’s a high he can’t help but chase. It fuels his pathological need to return to Hannibal again and again, no matter how self-destructive it is. I think this is why Will is more outwardly possessive of Hannibal than Hannibal is of Will. Hannibal wants Will to be his; Will wants Hannibal to be no one else’s. Both forms of possession, but Will’s is more jealous because of the way he experiences Hannibal’s attention. It’s a high, it’s a hunger—it’s a need, not a want.

will is werewolf coded because his darkness is hidden and repressed even to himself. he fights against it relentlessly, but he can’t get rid of it no matter how hard he tries. he only comes to terms with what he is under the light of the moon when he realises how much he loves the hunt.

hannibal is vampire coded because his darkness is always there, an irrepressible hunger within him. he can hide it from other people but never from himself, and so eventually gives in to his most violent impulses, despite the cultured exterior he gives off

idk i think it’s neat. they’re both so cool

[willspaddle]

your honor, they're matching.
