feeling like a very kind eldritch being lifted me up, ever so softly brushed my flawed skin from my body with a makeup brush, and then laid me down to rest in a softly cloudy abyss, or inside a teddy bear

Summary:
Fallen on hard times after an injury, young police officer Will Graham takes a side gig as a model for a nude drawing class.
Doctor Hannibal Lecter has just resigned from his job as a surgeon at John Hopkins Hospital to pursue a new career in psychology. As a fare-well gift, his coworkers present him with a voucher for drawing classes at the Baltimore State Art Museum.
Ok so the classic Hannibal’s ‘hot-girl-summer perspective of events’ that I’ve seen people talking about, in the form of a movie, except the soundtrack is exclusively made up of parodies featuring such shitty alternate lyric as
“Hey I just met you and this is crazy, cause I’m a killer, but fuck me baby”
and
“knee-deep in the passenger seat and I’m sawing his skull, is it casual now?”
I love how it goes like adjusting to context, cause apparently if the whole tv show just sets a consistently high enough standard of weirdness, they can russian nesting doll a dead horse, a dead woman, and a live bird, and it’s just another Tuesday
Look, I’m not saying it’s the best plan, I’m just saying if a man older than my father gave me a big huge bear hug and held me like that and promised to protect me and whatever, I’d probably go along with him reopening my neck scar later too
Admittedly I’m new here, but can we just take a moment to acknowledge the real overarching villain throughout the Hannibal show?
who was it that made it so I have to watch this in the dark with the brightness all the way up just to see shit, but then for every episode’s intro, this blinding thing shows up like the sun itself has crawled into bed with me?
I know the characters are doing cannibalism and whatever but who did this?
The bloody knuckles scene??? (I wanna say it’s at the beginning of the 10th episode from season 2)
The way Hannibal picks up Will’s hand, and then when he’s pressing his hand down into the water?! And then how softly he’s wiping the blood away?!! And after that, the way he holds his hand and wraps his knuckles?!!! And all the while, Hannibal is asking if Will thought of him, basically saying he’s proud of Will, and telling Will that he’ll have everywhere to go but to stay with anyway!???
i neither know nor want to know how many times ive rewatched this scene in the last day or so. Its my new favorite in the show so far. I would like it to be injected into my bloodstream, please and thank you
So I finished season 1 of Hannibal, I got some thoughts
First of all, if anyone wants to maybe talk about the show, please. I think the people around me are probably getting tired of me talking into the void about it. Someone told me about a concerning cooking they’ve been watching and then after that conversation, I said something like “oh, I’ve been watching a show with concerning cooking too. So, have you heard of…”
Anyways,
What is Hannibal even doing? Is he a therapist or a psychiatrist? I know he’s a medical doctor, former surgeon who had to quit cause he was too hungry or whatever, but what’s going on now? People call him both, he talks to people, does he ever prescribe anything? (Other than just dragging random people, not sure that technically counts as prescribing)
I am being absolutely slain by those little transitions they keep having that are basically like “oh no, where could this kidney possibly be?” and then immediately here’s Hannibal in the kitchen showing us how to dice a kidney! Totally unrelated, I’m sure
It reminds me so much of those recipe blogs that have a photo between each step. Especially when there was that whole list of organs and we kept flip flopping back and forth.
Also the fucking Rolodex of business cards with the box of recipe notes is just perfect
Hannibal called Freddie Lounds rude and something in the back of my brain was expecting his jaw to unhinge and he just bites her head off
Hannibal really is out here every so often just showing up to look directly at his weekend project and go “wow, who could’ve done that?”, it’s wild
And I love how chill everyone is about Will’s process. The dude shows up on a weekly basis looking incredibly miserable and/or fucked, asking to lay down alone on the bloody bed or whatever and talk to himself about ‘his design’ and everyone’s just like “oh yay! Get him a tarp, we’ll have this murder solved in no time! : )”
Also I’m impressed with the sfx people, they’re doing great work, it’s disgusting, at some point I need to pry myself away from watching the show to see if I can find videos about the creation of some of that stuff cause that stuffs so interesting
I really love the puppies, they’re so adorable, I really hope nothing happens to them. I’m a little scared. I will cry
Alana and Will kissing was not really my favorite hentai of Pennywise, as the phrase goes. I was kinda watching it like Alana, you can do better. Will, you can do… I’m not sure if ‘better’ is the word. Worse? Different? In my opinion, just could do something other than this. If this is anyone’s favorite hentai of Pennywise though, that’s great and I encourage them to have fun in the sandbox with it
Hannibal’s hobbies really seem to include high-effort cannibalism, making inside jokes about said cannibalism with himself, and making Will worse. However, if you look at Will’s face, he looks like he has some fairly mixed feelings about some of those hobbies. He looks miserable, and also, some of those expressions of his? I’m glad hes living his best porn star dreams, but this is a scene about vomiting up a severed ear
I also had a list of various half formed things I knew about the show before watching it, so I’m also gonna go back through those
The local man named Hannibal is indeed doing cannibalism
Will is definitely soaked in blood, adopting dogs, and getting more miserable by the minute
It's clearly going oh so wonderfully with the adult human stray they've adopted. No problems there whatsoever.
This girl cannot find a non-disastrous paternal figure to save her life. Although really, I’m not sure this show has anyone not at least a little bit disastrous to offer, so…
The commute is absolutely ridiculous. They're really just out here driving like, several hours, just to go say shit. Gotta admire the commitment to the bit at least
Hannibal is definitely rich to be affording that office. That being said, I'm incredibly jealous of that office. Like so ridiculously jealous. I don’t even do anything that’d require an office, I just love it. He has a ladder to bookcases, it's amazing. I want a ladder to bookcases
As I could’ve guessed, there were indeed other characters
Ok so the thing with the mushrooms was interesting. Not sure what exactly I expected but it wasn't quite that. No problem though. It's the weird murders show, it's did what it said on the tin, it’s not like I’d have any room to blame it for that
There is a little bit of doing mushrooms (I don't think they were the corpse mushrooms? I wanna say those were unrelated) for Abigail, and Hannibal basically saying he can be responsible adult supervision during that. Not sure anyone should be trusting this man as responsible adult supervision, but I get it, I’d probably trust the kinda-off older guy to give me weird mushroom tea if he gave me that sort of really big hug. This ain’t about my issues though, it’s about the characters’ issues
I have not yet gotten to a naked Hannibal torture scene that had to stop being improvised but maybe that's next season
There have been lots of antlers. So many antlers. Antlers on the wall. Antlers on the deer. Antlers on the corpse. Antlers on the weird demon thing. Antlers for everyone. They bought them in bulk or something, I dunno. I’m hoping next season we can get those tiny cute little costume antlers on a puppy
Hannibal is definitely a high effort chef, I'm really not sure if there's anything other than dog food in Will's kitchen
And yeah… like Supernatural, this show is just sorta happening to me. But I’m a perfectly consenting participant in it happening to me. Hell, I show up every night with a little snack to watch an episode or 3 before bed. I’m happy to be here, even if here is an odd place thats totally going to ruin me
love to see a random post where someone’s like “ok I’m finally gonna watch nbc Hannibal” because I know in my soul they’re either about to give up at the mushroom episode and move on with their lives like a regular person OR develop an all-consuming, bone-deep fixation that they will never fully recover from
Well this is unfortunate. The mushroom thing was 9 episodes ago and I do not have time for another all-consuming bone-deep fixation right now
On a very related note, my sketchbook has been screaming in my ear for 11 episodes , so probably am solidly planted on the tracks with that all-consuming bone-deep fixation approaching imminently to ruin my life
I’ve decided it’s probably time to finally start watching Hannibal so while my snack explodes, here’s the stuff I’m going into this knowing about the show, unless any of this is wrong and I didn’t realize:
local man named Hannibal does cannibalism, to the surprise of… apparently some people?
the other man is named Will and he’s a sad wet dog soaked in blood who adopts other dogs to raise with his cannibalistic therapist
at one point they try adopting a human adult but I guess that doesn’t work out so they cut their losses, eat her, and go back to raising dogs?
they have like an insanely long commute?
the therapist is rich, the sad wet dog says ‘eat the rich’, the therapist doesn’t have much room to judge on the matter of eating people
there might be other characters?
there’s something with mushrooms? Not sure how much drugs is in each episode but the mushrooms seemed to be an important moment to people
some naked torture scene had to stop being improvised cause it was getting too gay. Not totally sure what they were expecting from the naked torture scene in the gay show, but I don’t know, here we are
antlers? People like antlers which makes sense, they look cool
high effort chef accidentally falls for man who spends like 1 hour cooking per year
it seems to be described by people who’ve seen it similarly to how people describe Supernatural, it’s sort of just… a thing that happened to them. And I’ve been watching Supernatural for half my life, so probably time for a new thing to happen to me, right?
Also the fandom makes really really cool art, all the gifs look interesting, and it seems fun. You all do an incredible job.
So that’s why I’ve decided to watch it and I’m excited to see how it goes.
I have been here for 5 minutes and 34 seconds. We have stared at the most depressed looking man on earth who’s staring at a bloody wall, he’s talked about his fancy murder design to a class, and now someone’s fixing his glasses for him and asking where he falls on the spectrum.
All in all, so far I’ve experienced very accurate marketing. 10/10
