It still feels unbelievable to me that he went from the man on the left, to the man on the right, ONLY BECAUSE HE WANTED WILL.
Twisted, obsessive, violent? Maybe. But the most earnest form of love anyway. The only form Will ever needed, even if he was oblivious to it for a long while.
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.

The stag after a long day of terrorizing Will
We all know that it wasn‘t Margot who finished him off
I know everyone gives Hannibal shit that he probably imagines Will when with other people (Alana, Anthony, etc.) but I think it's objectively insane that when Will was having sex with Margot he made eye contact with that freaky stagman, that is his minds own special representation of Hannibal, and then let him join in.
I don’t… I don’t even know what to say. Mayhaps I’m shaking
Since I'm delulu and I love to have everything nice and in order, and a lot has been going on lately in this fandom, I need to sort this all out in my head and I decided to share these facts that may indicate that we will get a fourth season of Hannibal:
Christmas photo of Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal Lecter's iconic suit with the caption "a slice of Hannibal"
2. Gif used by Bryan Fuller in his New Year's wishes (Who's hungry for the new season?)
3. Mads Mikkelsen' words
4. Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy's reunion on the MAIN stage at the C2E2. Announced on the anniversary of the premiere of the first episode of the series!
5. Photos added by Bryan Fuller on the occasion of the eleventh anniversary of the first episode of the series? Including a previously unseen behind-the-scenes photo from the filming of the show's final scene?
‘There’s something about the transportation of a kiss… I feel like [on the bluff] their lips lingered so long, hovering above each other, that… I don’t think we can roll that back. I don’t think that’s authentic. I don’t think it’s realistic for two people to get to that moment, and if their story is continuing, to ignore that from happening. I can see versions of suppression. But, as we all know, anything you suppress is just going to erupt louder and harder.’
