Actual facts
We call out Hannibal for being a freak and getting turned on by the thought that Will wants to kill him but we never call Will out for getting turned on by fantasizing about killing Hannibal
Hannibal 2x10 - “Naka-Choko”
Thesis: Hannibal fell in love with Will even harder because, not after, but because of Will‘s betrayal.
There is this perfect wonderful boy you‘ve become utterly obsessed with ever since laying eyes on him for the very first time. In season 2b Hannibal looses himself within the utter humanity that the promise brings to, very possibly, have his wildest dreams come true: this perfect boy is not only becoming your friend after you thought you‘d lost that friendship, he sees you for who and what you are, accepts you, and wants to join you. Imagine the unbearable elation he must have felt when Will brought him Randall Tier, cooked with him, I mean, no wonder Hannibal was loosing his mind.
Now this man betrays you. We all know Will devastated Hannibal (and I think Hannibal was both surprised and not surprised about how strongly he felt), but he also stepped from a place above all mankind, a place right beside Hannibal, to a place above Hannibal. His very own cruel God. Not someone for Hannibal to shape, to guide through his Becoming just how Hannibal sees fit, but someone better, higher, someone out of his manipulative reach. I think he fell all the more for him because Will refused to be taken in, how Hannibal wanted to take him (and how a part of Will wanted to be taken). Because, as all mortals, he realised he was truly powerless before his God. Will would either come to him, or he wouldn’t have him at all. And that ruined Hannibal entirely.
something I learned in film class is that the camera makes people look as if they’re standing further apart than they actually are, leading actors to have to stand uncomfortably close to each other to make it appear natural on screen. so my question is how fucking close were you standing to jensen ackles misha
it would’ve been funny if hannibal’s fridge started beeping during this scene because he left the door open for too long
Will and Hannibal's fisherman-prey relationship is so poetic to me. This hunt's only possible because both the hunter and the prey are hungry. Will casts his bait and waits for his dinner to swim to him; Hannibal is restless and curious and so damn hungry it makes him blind. They're both motivated by the desire to eat; they discover sustenance in each other and are greedy for it

It is so great to see we are all moving into 2025 totally sane and stable, no longer obsessed and deranged, truly off to new shores, where cannibalism becomes cannibalism again, where -
