Favourite Bedelia + Hannibal moments [13/13]: season 3, episode 5, “Contorno”

[genghiskhanheadcanons]

Hero’s first father’s day living with villain and the kids, he doesn’t expect anything for father’s day. That’s why it only stings a bit when the kids thriumphantly present a drawing they made to villain. Before they’ve had the chance to properly look at it, the girl reveals something else behind her back: a second drawing. When you put them together, it makes a drawing of villain, hero, the henchmen, the house, and wife, too. When hero hears the second drawing is for him, his whole face lights up.

So @yogdad and I came up with something.

Villain had to protect his family in some way. So he made up a bunch of stories and different lives he was leading, to confuse the agency and make sure his own family was safe. They were very keen to believe these stories most of the time, for some reason.

Villain decides to take advantage of that.

He pretends his family is actually a bunch of clones of himself. As in, he cloned himself, then married the clone, and adopted two younger clones of himself as his children. He’s villain prime, spouse is villain II, the kids are villain jr and villain the younger.

And he keeps this up for like, a month. He drops hints when he’s captured someone who is bound to report back with new information. He photoshops himself into pictures with himself. He hires an actor that looks a lot like him to be caught with him in some house. He also hires actors for the kids.

You’d think the agency would catch on and see that it’s all a very big prank. They don’t catch on.

In fact, it goes on for so long that villain decides to put a stop to it. Not because he’s not having fun, but he really wants to make sure the agency actually believes he cloned himself and then married himself. He also feels like embarassing them.

So he has this big video chat with a conference room full of the agency’s top people, he’s telling them some kind of villainous demands about whatever, and then when he’s about to end the call he’s like ‘villain II honeybun, come here for a second’ to somebody off camera. Nobody in the conference room bats an eye.

He keeps his eyes focused on the thing off camera for a second and then loses it. He’s like “You people didn’t even blink!”

Then he goes on a big rant about how he did all this, hired the actors, dropped all the false information, and even though he did all that, how stupid it was of the agency to actuallly believe something like that. How in the world could a whole organisation thats supposed to save the world fall for something like that?

The color drains from everyones faces. Oops. You’d think some of the higher ups would’ve been more skeptical.

The higher ups weren’t the only ones who believed this, though. The agents who had been trusted the information also thought it was true. Which includes hero.

Which means he can’t catch a break for the rest of his life, because his colleagues keep reminding him, then when he’s married to villain he keeps reminding him (and joking like villain II! When did you get hair?), and villain tells the kids so they keep teasing him, too.

One of villains kids takes their first date to a james bond movie, because they’re convinced it’s actually a romcom despite the advertising. 

[genghiskhanheadcanons]

Hero tells the kids all about about his adventures when he was a secret agent as bedtime stories. Most of the time villains also there to look skeptical when hero's wildly exaggerating about certain elements to the story. It always makes the kids giggle when villain raises an eyebrow and asks him "Are you sure that's what happened?" and hero answers something like "Okay maybe I didn't fight off those bears with my bare hands."

I think it’s very peculiar that there was so little that changed when hero moved in with villain. And by that I mean the interior of the house: same clock, same decorations, even the same sheets. Why did so little change?

I think it is because villain didn’t want to change anything about their home.

This is a man who is a supervillain, but also a family man. Why would he need to get himself a family? There’s different ways in which he could appear civilian, he wouldn’t need to get himself a family purely for protection. 

Imagine a young villain wanting to build his empire, but also wanting children. Spitting in the face of the “American Dream” by having a family and also being a supervillain. And that’s what he does. Now he’s done everything he wanted, achieved his goals, so why is he so unhappy?

After a while he understands: there’s nothing wrong with the life he’s built for himself, he’s just sharing it with the wrong person. He’ll just have to live with it, though: for his children, and to make sure his life won’t be more difficult than it already is.

And then he meets hero.

They’re nemeses for years, and then that fateful day they discover that they may work as partners, as lovers, as parents. And villain completes his picture: he found the person he wants to share his life with. So why would he need to change anything else about it?

[genghiskhanheadcanons]

I like to imagine hero getting the mission to break into villain’s house and he didn’t know what he expected, but he certainly didn’t expect to find himself in a suburban house in some ordinary neighbourhood. He’s even more surprised to find that the man appears to have two children. 

The thing is: villain is probably very concerned for their safety because of his profession, so naturally they were thought what to do in a situation where a strange man breaks into their house. My point is: they call their mother and what she walks in on is her two children beating the shit out of hero as best as they can and she’s just so proud.

What if hero occasionally doesn’t drink martini from his martini glass but like, some kind of lemonade. He lets the kid have some of it but the thing is, evil ex-wife has camera’s installed in the house. She sees and absolutely flips her shit.
