Hannibal photos & my personal theories I post things that make me happy or interest me

[autumnnotfall]

We all know this moment is bullshit because to me this is where Will pretty much completely makes up his mind to run away with Hannibal like totally realizes he can’t live without him, “good? no” like no it wasn’t good because now I know I cannot survive without you I know I’m about to leave my job, my family, my life, my DOGS for you but we always get Hannibal’s perspective of Will’s hand on the glass “goodbye” but also I’m deciding to embrace my nature and in turn embrace you moment but never Will’s, this is what he had to look at as he said goodbye for the final (yeah right) time and Hannibal looks so forlorn but he also seems like he just knows this isn’t over I swear they can read each other’s minds like Hannibal is so at ease he just knows Will is going to finally accept both of their natures and each other

The casual touching is something I really love, especially because Will Graham does not like physical contact at all but somehow ever since they first met it was okay with Will for Hannibal to touch him in a casual manner like a hand on his shoulder or that thing he does that I absolutely love where he puts his hand on the back of Will’s neck and kind of pulls him a bit closer to ground him and bring him back to reality. Love it

[autumnnotfall]

Seriously I love this episode so much. Even Jack was gentler than he usually is with people with Peter like Peter is just a sweet, precious treasure and everyone knows it he is so pure. Trying his hardest to help them out even though he gets sensory overload with sight and touch just bless him

It’s honestly so hilarious that they try to make Will like hesitate at all in this moment which is why Hannibal is so jokey all “going my way?” of course he is silly you know it he knows it we all know it. I mean why hesitate Will, you already helped him escape you accomplished what you wanted you put all this effort into this huge elaborate plan to reunite with Hannibal after realizing you cannot live without him you already made up your mind to leave everything behind for him, so what’s with the hesitation for that split second? I really don’t think he had any doubts about what was happening so the hesitation makes absolutely zero sense Will knows exactly what he wants, planned it out, and got it. Maybe it was disbelief that after so many years this was finally happening? Idk to me it seemed like Will decided wayyyyy back when during the whole do you ache for him too thing with Bedelia that yes he’s going to give everything up for him and have a life with him so them making him hesitate, even super briefly, just seemed so unauthentic

Sometimes you stumble across images that are just so perfect that you think literally everyone should experience them, these are some of those images

[autumnnotfall]

I love this scene, both of them pacing back and forth like animals in a cage all that pent up emotion and energy and feeling of having not seen each other in years and Hannibal’s utter delight at Will’s return to madness. Hannibal in a literal cage and Will in a cage of his own construction, this is his design. Will also looks like Hannibal’s shadow they’re literally mirroring each other that’s how in tune to each other they still are

“What he has in addition is pure empathy and projection,” Dr. Bloom said. “He can assume your point of view, or mine – and maybe some other points of view that scare and sicken him. It’s an uncomfortable gift, Jack. Perception’s a tool that’s pointed on both ends.”

[autumnnotfall]

The longing and the gazing never ends with them, just admit you love each other and ache for each other like you obviously do

I dislike Alana so much that I’m almost beginning to dislike the actress that plays her. Also I really don’t like what they did with her character to be honest. Dr. Alan Bloom was just a really super nice old guy who had insight into Will understood him somewhat and tried to help others understand him and not just think he’s weird but he didn’t try to analyze him which Will deeply appreciated, okay cool yeah the show got that part right, my issue lies with how in the book Dr. Bloom is like super well respected super smart super well thought of and Alana just seemed like some girl who hangs around the FBI and bitches at Jack a lot like it’s never made clear that she’s supposedly super smart and insightful and well respected and also how they made her character into this whole I’m too good for you you’re unstable I’ll pretend I’m not analyzing you because I’m such an ethical good person but I totally am and in fact I’m judging you heavily and making assumptions about you on top of it and literally talking about you behind your back with your friends and colleagues about just how weird and messed up I think you are. Like how many times did we see her tell Jack and many others that there’s something wrong with Will and like not in a helpful way in a gossiping way. Also, she gossips about Will with Hannibal while they’re literally in bed together. She’s the weird one and thinks she’s better than everyone around her. The character in the book was not like her at all

[autumnnotfall]

Hannibal is pretty much always in complete control of himself but as we all saw he lost that control where Will was concerned. I think that’s why he gutted Will, not even due to Will’s betrayal but because of how Will made him lose control of himself, and yeah he did it in a way that he knew wouldn’t kill him but he wanted to mark Will for the rest of his life

[autumnnotfall]

So I’m under the impression that the stag represented evil in some form. It always shows up when Will has some sort of realization about some evil fucked up shit and Will notices a statue of a deer/stag in Hannibal’s office. But it’s interesting that “for the native tribes of North America, the deer(stag) was a messenger, an animal of power, and a totem representing sensitivity, intuition and gentleness” and Will obviously is quite literally the definition of sensitivity, intuition, and gentleness. So I’m not sure what it’s supposed to represent. Perhaps it’s another example of the duality between Hannibal and Will, the duality between good and evil?

I am definitely not one to ever complain about seeing Hugh Dancy barely dressed, because I fucking love it, but it was so amusing how often they had him barely dressed or waking up all sweaty and stripping out of his shirt or how often he’s like oh look at me in my tshirt and shorts I wasn’t expecting visitors they do that like so many times in the first part of season one and I am not complaining Hugh barely dressed is a gift but it’s like okay we get it we all know he’s super fucking hot you don’t have to keep making him be half naked his boxer shorts are not crucial to the plot line

[autumnnotfall]

Right before his hair cut for the glow up/honey-trap plot line

Love the vibes of these photos. Also please don’t take this in a negative way but I was raised around law enforcement/federal agents due to my Dad’s career as a fed amongst other things so to me a gun represents safety and stability and honestly just fun times at the range or fun times as a kid when a bunch of border patrol agents would come over and hang out or when I got older a bunch of feds would all chill and obviously they were carrying at all times and I’m sure I’ll get a lot of hate for this because I know how a lot of people feel about guns and/or feds and law enforcement but I can’t help the memories I have and what I was exposed to as I was brought up but anyway whenever I see Will carrying I feel such a sense of peace and like safety and it makes me feel calm, weird reaction to seeing a gun I know but this is my reaction to guns and feds and all that good stuff, the show in general very accurately portrayed federal agents by the way and their mentality even my dad agrees when I get him to watch it with me

[autumnnotfall]

Will- I don’t care if I live or die as long as I’m with you

Hannibal- I would die for you

[autumnnotfall]

Absolutely my favorite scene in the book Red Dragon and oh gosh it’s so so good in Manhunter just wonderful how much Hannibal fucks with Will’s mind literally calling this out to him as Will essentially runs away from him

[autumnnotfall]

Starts with Hannibal grasping for Will, ends with Will grasping for Hannibal. In many ways. It’s beautiful.
