I really love this gifset for many reasons, but one of them is definitely because of how it really allows us to break down the details of Will’s facial wound. There’s a lot of wonderful fanart out there that depicts Will’s facial scar as a simple jagged line, and I’m not bashing that at all— fandom is a sandbox we all play in, I’m just detailing my own interpretation of it based on anatomical facts and some plausible assumptions.

We can see in the first two gifs how Francis was supporting part of Will’s upper body weight with his arm and his hold on the knife in Will’s cheek, and how that resulted in Will twisting his head and neck around while impaled on the blade. This isn’t a typical in-and-out stab wound. This would be a very messy one with several slices back and forth throughout. Speaking of slices, the blade of Francis’s knife was around 6-7 inches at a rough estimate, comparing his closed fist to the blade using the width of the average adult male’s and rounding up.

The knife went in a few inches in front of where the jawbone hinges with the skull, so luckily the chances of it damaging his tongue and thus his speech are lower, but he’d probably need dental replacements for a few of his molars that would’ve been heavily battered and cracked or even sliced down. Tooth rot is a big risk here. We can also see that the knife tore through the buccinator and masseter muscles on his right side— the masseter helps us chew, bite, move our jaw and align it properly when relaxed. The buccinator muscles help us move our cheeks and aid in speaking, swallowing, and facial expressions that use the mouth.

Safe to say that without surgical intervention, Will’s going to have a whole host of problems on his hands. The surgical intervention in question would likely involve a tendon transfer/graft to replace the heavily damaged tissues and help the muscles grow and reattach faster and better, an insert like a surgical button might be used to help hold the high-tension facial sutures in place during recovery, and plastic surgery involving a skin graft would be needed after several months to a year of recovery time if Will wanted to obscure a massive section of indented scarring left from the injury and surgery to draw less notice on the run and feel more confident, in the novels he developed serious traumatic and depressive issues with the scarring from Dolarhyde.

He would also need dental surgery to remove and replace the damaged upper and/or lower molars with dental implants. Will would be eating not very good soup again for a WHILE post-fall. It might’ve been a blast in the moment, but the aftermath would still last like a year or more to get back to “normal” as much as possible if we assume Hannibal found them proper medical treatment after escaping. Fighting dragons isn’t advised for many reasons, even if said dragon is a huge buff ex-military serial killer juiced up on a painting-eating psychotic break 💀

Do you know of any "how to" guides for giffing things? I really want to start learning how to gif and edit but I have no idea where to start! I've tried looking it up but everything I've found has been confusing. Thank you <3 <3 <3

Hi there! Sure - there are several ways to create GIFs. I’ve personally only used Photoshop on a Mac (though I know some people also use Photopea), so I’ll share a few helpful tutorials to get you started:

How to color Hannibal by @cedarxwing

My tipps: Start with simple scenes that already include some good basic lighting so you can get familiar with the program you’re using. Once you’re comfortable with the fundamentals, you can move on to creating more advanced GIFs using blending techniques and refined color schemes,sharpening more etc. I also always check how my GIF sets look on mobile by previewing them in my drafts.

Keep in mind that the current maximum GIF size is 10 MB, which gives you plenty of room to work with & stick to recommended dimensions:

Have fun!

I recently reread the Hannibal novels once again as one does and have also been browsing travel blogs and articles for the summer……… I caught a mention of Trakai Island castle in Lithuania and looked it up because it sounded cool. It’s in a historic region near Vilnius, the capital, and is a famous example of a medieval gothic-style castle built on an island on Lake Galvė in 1409 by a Grand Duke of the country. In Hannibal Rising, Harris mentions that the Lecter family is of historic Lithuanian nobility and that the castle that belongs to them is in the Gothic style, was built during the Middle Ages and is situated on a lake near wooded countryside…….. Maybe Trakai castle inspired it? Regardless, it’s gorgeous, apparently the lake can freeze solid during the wintertime and get covered in snow and it’s a favorite spot for boating and birdwatching ✨
