Proof that Hannibal is specifically, shamelessly catering to my preferences
canon deranged bi villain
twisted but genuine love relationship between villain and non-villain
corruption kink
age gap
dilf x twink
noncon/dubcon vibes it’s not even vibes let’s not be delusional. Remember that one scene where Hannibal stuffs Abigail’s ear in Will’s throat? Yeaah. ‘We won’t be putting rape in the show’ my ass mr Fuller
Daddy Issues TM
lots of gore, but like, #Aesthetic
religious undertones
religious undertones in an erotic fashion
shit becoming more and more oneiric as the show progresses
form over substance but the substance is still there, just twisted to fit the context
found family (a family can be the cannibalistic serial killer who gaslit you all along and the daughter figure you thought he had murdered)
an entire arc set in Florence
all the gorgeous food (some of which is people)
did I already mention cannibalism
character X tormenting/corrupting character Y who becomes just as dangerous if not more than X
women in suits
Mads in suits
Mads’s dad bod
Mads IN A LEATHER COLLAR and bound
every shot where Hugh Dancy is suffering
every shot where Hugh Dancy is injured and/or covered in blood
angst, so much angst
mentally ill protagonist
yandere love interest
yandere doctor
serial killers
serial killers cooperating with each other
murder husbands
the dialogue does not have to make sense as long as it’s beautiful
metaphors, so many metaphors
sassy bisexuals
fan service but it’s also fan disservice but it turns back into fan service too
character with repressed sexuality
one of the two in the main couple being so dumb about the other’s feelings he has to have multiple people telling him that the other has a blatantly obvious crush on him
The Aesthetic
The Villain Wins
The Villain being a genuine asshole but also being genuinely and shamelessly in love with one (1) other character
literally everything in the last episode of s3
(but especially the killing of the Dragon)
The Dragon’s arc and his tragic story with Reba (poor Reba is a literal angel and did not deserve any of this), I’m a sucker for evil tormented character trying and failing to redeem himself for the sake of one (1) person who makes him see the good in the world
Chilton is exactly the type of annoying little shit that is so insufferable and has such shit luck he turns around and becomes almost sympathetic, anyway I love him but I also delight in seeing him suffer
then again the same goes for Will (the delight in seeing him suffer part)
let’s be honest Hannibal too
I think that’s all but I might be forgetting something
