Tell us about your smoking + Will headcanons!
Okay so I think about Will + smoking way too much. No idea why, I’ve smoked like… maybe a half dozen cigarettes my entire life and, Mads making it look way too appealing aside, I actually think it’s the most disgusting habit lmao but ANYWAY…
Will started sneaking into his dad’s cigarettes when he was in high school. Dad didn’t notice at first, then he did, and he tried to fight it but then he sort of just… gave up.
“They’re your lungs, kid, but I’m not paying for your habit.”
Will stole exactly twice in his youth: the watermelon and a carton of cigarettes. He only got away with the watermelon.
A good thought: seventeen-year-old Will in a threadbare white t-shirt and a pair of faded and tattered jeans pulling his half-crushed pack of cigarettes out of his back pocket after school. He leans against the building, throws his head back, inhales, exhales…. Half the school is watching him because he’s the epitome of a walking wet dream. A couple teachers even join in and are too mesmerized to scold him. Will is blissfully unaware of what he’s doing to his fellow classmates (and several staff members).
Will quit smoking for the most part when he became a cop but always had a pack tucked away somewhere for when he had A Day.
It was definitely A Day when he had to pull the trigger and couldn’t so he smoked the entire emergency pack and immediately went out to buy another.
Will has stashes all over the house though. There are at least three packs in various drawers of his desk at home. One in his desk at school and another crushed in the bottom of his bag. In the glove compartment of his car…
He picked up the habit again HARD mid-season 2 when he got out of BSHCI, for stress reasons, but also because he knew the smell annoyed Hannibal and he just couldn’t resist. #SubtleReckoning?
He tried smoking a pipe once but felt absolutely ridiculous so it never became a Thing.
Post-fall Will buys a pack and Hannibal is like nOT HAPPENING if you’re going to smoke in our home you will smoke this organic, specialty tobacco I bought you at the farmers market and allow me to roll the cigarettes for you using only the finest artisan rolling paper.
Will smokes the fancy cigarettes ofc but when Hannibal pisses him off you know that pack of is coming out and Hannibal is getting a cheap smoke ring to the face.
Will absolutely blows perfect smoke rings btw.
Tagging @damnslippyplanet because you wanted these as well. If anyone wants to add to the above list pls do I need all of the smoking headcanons.
