can someone please market hannibal to me as someone who has never watched the show but in the most unserious way?

i’ve been seeing a ton of tumblr posts about and i vaguely have some idea of it but im a bit in the dark about the plot. i just know it’s a gay psychiatrist seducing a married man called will? and it’s about murder or something.

i cannot love in moderation. whatever i love, i love with ferocity and passion and eagerness. i don’t want lukewarm, i want it scalding, red and hot. my love is always going to be all-consuming and i burn in the centre of it all.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention this but rf kuang’s naming of Victorie in Babel is just genius??? Victorie is derived from the Latin word for ‘victory’, and at the end of the novel, she was the only one to survive the rebellion out of the three of them. Her name alone carries the implication that the revolution was successful despite her and Robin’s worries, as she rides out in ‘victory’. This is such a smooth and unnoticeable reassurance that the novel did not end on a cliff-hanger, but rather and strong and positive reaffirmation.
