Well I defrost like a flower in spring to bring you my second art of hannigram, thoughts ?
After Will brings “long pig” (pretending it’s Miss Lounds, but it’s actually not) to Hannibal, and they dine together, specific music plays as they consume it. I’m not sure if it’s background music for us or if it’s music that Hannibal chose in particular to play during their meal. I suppose it says the same thing, either way.
It sounded so romantic and beautiful so I researched it. And of course, found this…
And this.
And this.
Let’s go over the scene.
Look at the LOVE on his face.
Hannibal looks quite displeased.
BA DUM TSS! Will knows Hannibal loves word-play… Will has the mind for it, as well.
I remember the conversation they had in season 1, before Will knew Hannibal was a murderer…
HANNIBAL: Words are living things. They have personality, point of view, agenda.
WILL: They’re pack hunters.
Look at Will, now. Using them to do exactly that – though, he does specify a few times that he’s not HUNTING, he’s FISHING.
Hannibal thinks he finally helped Will to become the God he was meant to be. The God that, together, they would be. Two halves of the same whole. He is thrilled - this is what he’s wanted since EPISODE ONE.
At this point, Will hesitates. He swallows. He SIGHS. And then he lies. Look at his face. He’s not happy about it. He just thinks it’s the right thing to do, the thing he’s supposed to do. But he’s going against what they promised one another at the start of the resuming of the therapy - that they wouldn’t lie to one another. Hannibal has held true to his word, but this is when Will has not. And he actually exhibits REGRET when doing it.
I LOVE this part, because, if you watch. Will picks up the glass. He pretends he’s about to take a sip. But he doesn’t… and he says how he can’t be reduced to a set of influences. JUST as Hannibal takes a sip of the wine.
Will picked up the wine - Hannibal picked up the wine. Will influenced Hannibal into taking a sip, yet he did not sip it himself - this shows us that Hannibal is the one being influenced by Will, that they are not equals at this moment. And Will is aware of it. He lifted the glass to test Hannibal; “will you mirror me?”
“An unconscious sign of attraction is mirroring, or matching another person’s movements. When people are interested in one another, researchers have found that they tend to mimic each other’s movements and gestures.”
This also mirrors, and accentuates, what Bedelia said about Hannibal in Season 1; that Hannibal is a “social antisocial,” meaning that he is virtually incapable of being influenced by others - until having met Will Graham.
And this leads into the finale’s, “Did you think you could change me? The way I changed you?” “I already did.”
(He’s allowed to sip now because he’s made his point.)
Behavior is not good or bad – it just is, and it occurs in accordance with certain fairly well understood principles.
(He actually said “meal” - the subtitles were incorrect.)
Half of Hannibal’s face is in dark. Half of Will’s face is in dark. Both of the dark halves of their faces are filled, illuminated, with the lighter half of the other’s. This is visual poetry.
The have finally merged and become God.
Once again thinking about them…
Ok so I see a lot of people who don't understand the point of ellabs (EllieXAbby) and I want to attempt to explain why because why not.
The thing is, they don’t know each other.
By the time they interact in any part II post canon fic, it’s their first real interaction after deciding to change. Granted, Abby had already begun changing earlier (she’s the one who refused to initiate a fight after the Rattlers and let Ellie and Dina live at the theatre), but by the time they stop fighting in the Pacific ocean, Ellie has now also chosen to change (give up revenge, which has given her nothing in return so far and doesn't make her feel better. Abby already knows that, because she killed Joel a while ago and has already realized revenge doesn't help).
So now, they’re effectively new people, trying on new skins and personalities while standing beside someone who has seen them at their absolute lowest (Abby torturing and killing Joel is Ellie and Abby's first interaction. And then in Seattle, Ellie picks off all of Abby's friends but that's the first time Abby really sees who Ellie is as a person.)
The level of vulnerability here is insane : fear of judgment, fear of being seen as fake, fear that the new versions of themselves might still be awful and that the other might call them out on their bullshit or worse, expose them. They’re both projecting who they want to be now onto Lev because he’s the only unbiased person left. He’s a child, but he also doesn’t know their complicated past. He's also someone Abby already connected with (she's been with him for over a year now and they likely have developed a strong friendship, meanwhile Ellie raised JJ who I'm pretty sure is a huge reason why Ellie didn't fully spiral upon returning: he gave her something to do and look out for).
And so Ellie and Abby perceive each other through two conflicting lenses simultaneously: the monster the other knows me to be vs. the person I’m trying to become now.
And that’s why Ellabs is such an interesting ship to explore.
It’s about the reinvention of self and the deconstruction of old beliefs in the presence of someone deeply traumatized by those very beliefs.
We know Abby and Ellie’s character archetypes. We’ve seen gruff Joel slowly break through Ellie’s walls (and vice versa), so we’re subconsciously aware that, under different circumstances, Ellie and Abby would likely get along, since Abby is also a version of Joel (as we have seen through basically 95% of Abby's actions, Joel's murder notwithstanding).
We know this shift is possible because we've literally just seen it happen: Abby abandoned her loyalty to the WLF to help the Seraphite kids, despite owing Isaac everything (Isaac gave her a team and resources to go achieve her unique goal of murdering a guy, which was all Abby cared about). We also know Ellie is now utterly alone (Dina broke up with her, there's not returning to the farm to find a happy family. Dina tells her she's not doing this again, which is actually funny because it's also what Abby says at the beach. Ellie's quest for revenge lasts longer than everyone else's in the game. She is the LAST one to change), desperate for either death or something new to care about. She’d never bend for Abby, but Lev--an innocent kid who showed her mercy (stopping Abby from killing her and Dina in the theater)--could make her stick around. He’s untainted. She also feels gratitude; without Lev, she and Dina would be dead.
This also means Ellie realizes Abby has changed. The woman who brutalized Joel with a golf club (yet spared her and Tommy) is now restrained by Lev’s influence (re: theatre scene, where he stops her from killing Dina by calling out her name). Ellie knows Abby is not as ruthless as the act of killing Joel made her seem: Lev’s stayed with her for over a year, and Abby clearly cares for him deeply. This likely also sends Ellie back to her failure as a "mom". Abby stuck with Lev, who's a kid and therefore a "burden", when Ellie hurt Dina when she confessed in the theatre, AND THEN LEFT THEM. I think unconsciously this is a big blow to Ellie who can't help be see the ways Abby did "better" than her.
Also, Abby knows Ellie isn’t a heartless monster. Yes, Ellie murdered all of her friends, but she also confessed and basically sacrificed herself to save Tommy, which is proof she operates by a code. Militia logic dictates that codes matter. Yet Ellie’s violence also shows she’ll slaughter those outside her tribe without hesitation (Abby and surrounding people are not her tribe by that point).
Abby also witnesses what she thinks is Ellie’s mercy when Ellie cuts her down to save Lev. That's why she says "there are boats". She’s offering an olive branch after (mis)realizing Ellie extended one first.
Then again, I don’t think Ellie waited for Abby to set Lev on the boat to act. She followed because she had no idea what to do next. She traveled for months to avenge Joel, only to confront the reality that Abby isn’t the immoral monster she imagined--just a human who suffers like everyone else. Seeing her so emaciated is catapulting Abby out of monster realm and into human one in Ellie’s mind.
And Ellie, as we know, is not a psychopath; her violence isn’t for fun. She’s shaken by Abby’s state and only realizes last-minute (she turns her back on Abby, she looks pensive, she could let Abby go) that sparing her means all of this was for nothing--the one thing Ellie can’t accept. She desperately wants all of this to have been for something. Joel butchered dozens of people to save her. Then Abby tracked and killed him. Then Ellie killed Abby's friends and had to confront her own violence, then her own selfishness by going after Abby instead of staying with her family. If she lets Abby go, then this will have been for nothing.
And now they are stuck together, having gone through all these changes and completely unmoored by the other's action, and then saved by them.
That’s why forced post-canon proximity is so compelling: you take two people bound by hatred and explore how long it takes for their biases to crumble. It's about showing a person who knows you a certain way you aren't that way anymore. They could do this with anyone else, but it would be less interesting, because one of the major appeal of the ship is the forgiveness aspect. Both of each other and of themselves. They cannot do that part without the other.
That’s the interesting part. Finding meaning after losing everything.
So I wrote a fic about it
i’m so sad this only made it to the trailer and not the actual show
i need to eat her cus why does she look so scrumptious here
i love how all of my comfort characters i've had through the years in some way or another resemble eachother.
when i was 14 i was obsessed with remus john lupin and now almost four years later im obbssesed with remus lupin's much more darker evil twin; will graham. (it feels like i got a promotion.)
why is it that my two comfort characters, have not had a singel day of comfort themselves
The pipeline , Remus Lupin to Will graham is a pretty obvious one. Yeah I love my scarred boy that hates that part of himself who makes him a danger to society, and sometimes loses consciousness and acts on his killer thoughts. Also who falls in love with a rich guy with a dark past, related to his family and the death of his younger sibling. They have some kind of toxic relationship but in the end help him to accept who they truly are.
unpopular opinion but i really like the angsty religious s2 jevon stor- *GUNSHOTS*
but your honor they match eachother freaks so well tho!
(toxic yuri/yaoi I love you <3)
dare I say these are just different fonts of the same character…………
i get giddy everytime i remember we got jevon covered in blood together
how it feels to wake up everyday knowing we probably might never see terror trio again
found an old notebook with a plan I did for a chucky season 4 fic, and DAMN BOYYY why was I lowkey cooking with this storyline🔥🔥
not to mention the other fanfic I had planned that I also kinda scrapped….whoops (i actually have a draft of the first chapter almost fully written tho)
and it was supposed to be of the months between s2 and s3 that we never saw. (all based on cannon information we got and featuring the characters development of terror trio btw (tbh it was more of a character/relationship analysis), but plot was also there !! )
