I’m not sure if you’ve been asked this already but what do you think Hannibal’s kinks are?
Hannibal thinks he has aesthetic kinks like shibari and artsy kinks but in reality he will go rock hard immediately if you treated him as “unclean” or animalistic, it’s a way of reenacting his monstrous identity on his own terms. Because Hannibal is so controlling and godlike, he may fetishize the willing loss of control, but only within a highly ritualized context like service submission like devotion through obedience. Or predicament bondage where his dignity is challenged, but in a theatrical, symbolic way. Maybe fear play like being made to feel hunted for once, if only briefly. Feederism, oral fixation, or being force-fed to reclaim his primary trauma, maybe. Sharing saliva, blood, or breath: ritual intimacy, blending identities.
Will is overloaded with empathy and often seeks release through surrender. He might lean toward emotional edgeplay: degradation, manipulation, or “mindfuck” scenes that force him to confront and release buried guilt. Primal play, where he gives in to instinct (growling, biting, chasing). Possibly enjoys being “hunted” or “collared,” reflecting his inner fear of becoming what he chases. 24/7 D/s undertones, though subtle, he doesn’t want control, he wants to feel safe surrendering it. Breath control or sensory deprivation: anything that silences his mind.
