for the meta topics meme: family / understanding of the concept?
an old meta meme that took forever to get around too || always accepting !
Family is the most important thing in the world to Hannibal. Not other peoples families, of course, only his own – but he does value people with strong family values over the majority of people at large. To Hannibal, anyone he may come to regard with strong feelings will be regarded as ‘family’ – the people he doesn’t want to be without. Because that’s always been his understanding of family. People that it hurts to lose. People who impact and shape you. He calls Will family because that is the strongest, most important bond that he has ever known. To be called FAMILY is the highest title Hannibal can give someone in relation to him. They are the only people in the world he doesn’t want to live without – to say can’t isn’t right, because he can. But it would make existence hollow, leave more holes in the floor of his memory and he doesn’t want to do that.
