Killing must feel good to God too, he does it all the time.

I wanted this one to complement my previous portraits of these two, so it matches them with themes and format. They're always so fun to draw, the series' specific lighting and color palettes never cease to inspire me. 🖤

imagine being so boring you can't enjoy richard gadd being the So So Big and Burly and Beefy Brother and jamie bell being the So So Very Lil and Petite and a Slip of a Thing Brother in their will-they won't-they fuck and/or kill each other drama. imagine having all this at your fingertips and not rolling around in the filth of it all?

"I hope your favorite character is played by an actor you hate!" Tired, unoriginal, etc.

"I hope your favorite character fucks your dad!" Devastating, weirdly specific, about to happen to Harry Bogosian in three weeks.

One of my favorite aspects of Will and Hannibal’s dynamic is that Will perceives a truth about Hannibal that no one else does, which is that beneath his cruelty lies a strange kind of innocence, an almost mechanical purity in how he enacts destruction. It’s childlike, as though a child were given immense power. There is no hatred in it, no moral evil, only impulsive creation and annihilation, born from frustration he cannot contain. It reminds me of that apocryphal image of the young Christ who, when angered, would strike others down for trivial offenses. Will recognizes this same quality in Hannibal, and that recognition breeds not fear or outrage, but a kind of reluctant tenderness.

He cannot truly despise Hannibal because he sees him as something to protect, less a man to be guided or redeemed than a force to be shielded from itself. That’s why Will forgives him so easily, why he moves past Hannibal’s atrocities with a disquieting ease. To Will, Hannibal isn’t evil...he is pure destruction, untouched by corruption or self-hatred.

And that purity unsettles Will deeply, because Will’s own darkness is not pure...it festers. When Will kills, it is with venom, with emotion, with contamination. His violence is personal and vengeful, where Hannibal’s is almost ceremonial, detached, even refined. Hannibal acts like a samurai, never from emotional excess, always from precision and clarity.

Will, on the other hand, is burdened by his humanity. His cruelty is messy, tangled with guilt and rage. That is why Hannibal triggers him so profoundly: Hannibal mirrors his darkness but without shame, without poison. In standing before Hannibal, Will sees not another monster, but a reflection of what he could be if his own darkness were stripped of self-consciousness. And that horrifies him. Others in the show measure themselves against Hannibal and come away feeling morally superior, purified by contrast. Will cannot. Hannibal doesn’t make him feel better about himself, he makes him see that his own darkness is uglier because it is emotional, corrupted, and human.

That, to me, is what makes their relationship so compelling and so rarely understood. It’s not a battle of good and evil, but a conversation between two forms of darkness: one pure, one contaminated, each fascinated and repulsed by the other.
