one of my favorite things about hannibal and will's dynamic, particularly in the later seasons, is the way we're shown that in no way is their relationship born solely out of convenience or even the trope of 'finding the only other one like them.' like they both have other gay murder partners to choose from, hannibal has tobias tripping over himself making aesthetically pleasing murder offerings and asking him to be his friend and will has matthew twirling his hair outside his cell like omg we could be hawks together.... and they're both like no thanks i want the one who knows me so intimately that they actively wish me harm <3
