So, this week I was inspired by Tom’s SPN meta digest and decided I wanted to make one of my own.for Hannibal. I’d like to make this a regular/weekly thing, but I’m not yet sure if that’s going to happen.
This being my first one consists mostly things that I pulled out of my “likes” after perusing the Hannibal meta tag. Digests in the future will be more comprehensive, but this was thrown together as an afterthought/first attempt. They range from “super-insightful” to “that was clearly implied in the episode, but I like the way you explain it anyway” to “you wrote something kinda pertinent to a meta I want to write”. Also, a lot of these are informal and short.
Tl;dr - don’t judge, it’ll get better

A good response to a kinda weird anon ask
Peter Bernardone’s name by teddy-grohl
St. Francis of Assisi’s birth name was Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone. He was known for his kindness to animals and a deep sense of compassion and humility.
Peter Bernardone’s name is a near direct translation.
(AN: Quibble about what qualifies as “meta” all you want; I didn’t know this, and I thought it was interesting, so I included it.)
Meta: Hannibal 2.08, “Su-zakana” by elucipher
Too long; do read — elucipher’s meta is always wonderful
Bonus Yakimono meta that was posted amongst the Su-Zakana stuff:
Meta: Miriam Lass and Free Will in “Yakimono” (pun intentional) by after-the-ellipsis.
(exactly what it says on the tin)
Edit: I realize I have a bunch more of the longer ones open on my phone that I have yet to read. They may be added as I get through them.
