Hannibal sits at the station, admires Will’s handiwork, such delicate lures for catching fish.
Hannibal applies himself to tying off an incomplete SALMON FLY, expertly using the TOOLS of Will’s hobby -- THREAD, BOBBIN, SCISSORS, PLIERS. His surgeon’s precision in play.
Having completed his work, Hannibal admires the FLY and HOOK.
He presses his THUMB gently against the pointed BARB, and keeps the pressure on until he draws a drop of BLOOD. Without lingering on his act, Hannibal sucks the lone DROP from his thumb-tip.
I finished my first realistic drawing! I'm usually too lazy to draw this type of drawing, but I learnt a lot of new things and it was a fun!
Next month, I'm going to TCC and meet Mads & Hugh (I can't still believe that Hugh is coming to Japan, too). Need to make my flower crown soon (without antlers....the rules are very strict! Boo!)
So... she said "six" three times. I never thought about it until recently, but I wonder if this is a kind of foreshadowing for S3E12 "The Number of the Beast is 666"? She escaped Dolarhyde unlike Freddy in the book, and she escaped Hannibal (the devil) after all.
Or am I the only one who didn't notice from the beginning????
‘Are you surprised at the reaction the Hannibal/Will relationship has gotten, and how it’s been romanticized by some of the fans?'
‘No, because I think Bryan is fully engaged in romanticizing it. I think it comes from #1 in that respect. I don’t think that Bryan set out to write that. I don’t think that he necessarily envisioned it. Whether it came from his subconscious, or whether it’s there, sitting in the novels, or whether it’s something we created when we came together to make the first episode, but he ran with it, and we all ran with it.’ ~ Hugh Dancy
‘It wasn’t the horror that drove Will to do this. The horror was secondary; it was a horror in reaction to how much he loved what had just happened between him and Hannibal. We’ve seen so many moments of Will covered in blood and shaking and horrified and this is suddenly realizing this is my true self.’ ~ Hugh Dancy
On the occasion of Hannibal's tenth anniversary, showrunner and creator Bryan Fuller spoke to Nerdist about its past, present, and future.
This interview really is a delicious treat for all fans of Hannibal and Hannigram! See below for the choicest Hannigram tidbits:
‘Where we left Will and Hannibal at the cliff and this power tenderness and intimacy that they are experiencing in that moment - that feels like it’s a launchpad. And so I don’t think we can pull back where that is, but we have to continue the trajectory and continue that level of intimate exploration between these two men. And their queer love story, their queer blurring of identities… It’s not so much an evolution as it is an extrapolation of what was intended for Season 4… If you liked the trajectory, you’re going to love where it’s going.’
‘It does become more intimate, and I do see pathways of expressing that intimacy in ways that the Fannibal family will feel validated by.’
‘Whatever is beautiful is what [Hannibal’s] attracted to. And [Mads] ungenders Hannibal’s attraction… He’s Hannibal. He’s genderless. He is manifesting in this form in a way that the devil has chosen… And I think Will’s state of mind in Season 4 is conducive to a greater fluidity than his state of mind in the previous seasons.’
Googling…
‘Do Will and Hannibal end up together?… kiss… die… love each other… kill together… date… Hopefully all of the above.’
‘There’s something about the transportation of a kiss… I feel like [on the bluff] their lips lingered so long, hovering above each other, that… I don’t think we can roll that back. I don’t think that’s authentic. I don’t think it’s realistic for two people to get to that moment, and if their story is continuing, to ignore that from happening. I can see versions of suppression. But, as we all know, anything you suppress is just going to erupt louder and harder.’
‘The arc of their intimacy is continuing on an upward trajectory.’
