why didn't jack crawford know hannibal was the workshop guy doctor in the past and why didn’t he look into it?

Because medical records are private (always private, but more private post-HIPAA than when the books were written). That's why he looked the other way when Miriam Lass broke rules the "guru" couldn't, because for her it was better to ask forgiveness than permission. For him, not so much. Jack is also a team supervisor, not a primary investigator. He has other people do the leg work.

In the book, Will makes this leap as a routine part of the investigation, and it's how he catches Hannibal.

Thomas Harris: So Hannibal and Will had never actually met before Hannibal's arrest. They don't have a years-long consulting history or an ex-friendship or anything.

Me:

Hannibal: Why is it whenever I have fun, it’s considered ‘wrong’?

Clarice: Hannibal, when you have fun, people die.

[imagineclaricestarling]

In Hannibal Clarice doesn’t actually return to the abandoned hospital to seek inspiration and comfort but to find her single fucking brain cell she dropped and lost there apparently

Unfortunately for me and the rest of the book, she does not find it

Hey guys I’ve gone ahead and made a little hannibal discord channel if anyone is interested! :)

I saw the term Harrisverse on someones blog today. Is that an actual thing? Have I completely missed something in this fandom? Personally I like the term lecterphile but.... Ya know

“The most stable elements, Clarice, appear in the middle of the periodic table, roughly between iron and silver. Between iron and silver. I think that is appropriate for you.“

Unironically my favorite thing about the Hannibal universe is that the original watercolor of The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun by William Blake is torn up and eaten by a psychotic serial killer obsessed with it. Which means that painting is now considered lost or destroyed in-universe. Imagine being an art historian in the Hannibal canon and trying to keep a straight face while you write about how a 200 year old William Blake painting is gone for all time because some guy in the 1980s fucking ate it and then died shortly after.

Absolutely insane shit, Thomas Harris you madman of an author I love your mind!
