Wow
In that scene where Will brings Hannibal Randall’s meat pretending it’s Freddie’s and then they have dinner and share this very friendly, fond smile when they start eating—I like to think that Will’s pretty indifferent towards the cannibalism but he loves Hannibal’s company and that’s why he’s so happy. Hannibal loves that Will’s partaking in his special interest, but also, inadvertently, he also really fucking loves Will’s company. So it’s like, to me, they’re just two guys giggling, kicking their feet because “Wait, I love this dude so much, I love spending time with him”
Where did the trope of Will being borderline alcoholic come from in fics?? He admits to drinking 2 inches of whiskey once, we see him drinking with Margot, and then once more in the last ep of S3 (let’s talk about this in a second) that’s it?? If anything, isn’t Hannibal the drunk? This man won’t go a DAY without drinking. In fact the moment he got out of prison the first thing he does is open a wine bottle and offer some to Will. I think it’s because Will is vulnerable due to a lack of control of his circumstances (caused by Hannibal btw) it appears as though he doesn’t have control of himself—and Hannibal, despite drinking so often, because he seems in control of everything, he is perceived as naturally having control of himself. I find it unfair! It’s like, oh Will is outwardly mentally ill so it makes sense that he’s susceptible to addiction and substance dependencies. Meanwhile Hannibal is super duper he’s just European.
Hannibal’s Italy fashion was so cool; the more casual, oversized suits; hairdos… I want him in other environments to see how he’d dress—what did he wear during his surgeon era? He was probably mostly in scrubs, but how did he appear in functions or at parties? How does he dress when he goes grocery shopping? What does he wear in the summer? I want to see him in draping layers; a band collar with the top button left unbottoned, tucked into loose slacks and a robe-like long overcoat in summer heat. I want to see him in a large, well knit, branded woollen jumper and side parted bangs falling over his forehead. Need him in tucked in high waisted slacks, a cropped sweater vest under a heavy, cropped sports jacket as Il Mostro.
Yeah Will biting Cordell because he was constrained to a chair is great but the fact that he took a bite out of him in front of a seasoned cannibal (pun intended) and a sadist who is writing ‘poetic’ about dwelving into cannibalism and making them his first meal is just plain funny.
My headcanon is that Hannibal writes his doctor’s notes in English because his medical license is American BUT he writes everything else in either French, Italian, or Japanese.
I love that there is nothing either Hannibal nor Will can do to kill the love they have for each other. I’m not even talking about romantic love; just that deep, intimate affection they share for each other. Even at their worst, they could only forgive and let go. There maybe anger, animosity, pain, but there is also compassion. That’s the best and worst quality of their relationship.
Hannigram but their background sound is yoasobi’s idol
Hannigram’s sexual dynamic in my head is that no matter if they’re breaking up; regardless of the context, circumstances, and their feelings in that moment—if Will asks Hannibal to sleep with him, Hannibal will do it. No complaints. He has no backbone, Will says fuck me, he’s like in what position? Will says you better come here and undress me and Hannibal will walk straight into the FBI headquarters.
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
I’m enjoying this Hannigram fic a lot!

Moralising Hannibal (the show) makes it so banal especially because that’s not even the point of the story. Will doesn’t need to be good or evil; he’s all of us. He’s a guy overflowing with humanity whose final boss is fucking Satan. All this talk about “dark” Will and whether or not he kills with Hannibal post-fall; isn’t it more interesting to think about him in terms of a guy who’s the sum of all his life experiences and is deliberately stripped off of his power and agency and identity, and watching all the ways in which he regains it back? And what regaining that power does to him or means to him? It’s a story about that. Will doesn’t have to be black or white, he’s a guy who’s doing what he can in the moment. He’s me or you. No single moment can define our nature, but the choices we make under pressure are what make us interesting. What choices would you make when faced with Hannibal? Will you be unconvinced of his philosophy or will you accept him like Will does?
Hellloooo! Do you have any headcanons about Post!Fall Hannigram? Have a nice day! 🥰
Ooh!
I imagine Will being super depressed and quiet post fall. He’s drunk on melancholy and his sarcastic conversations with Hannibal are the only things which make him laugh sometimes.
Hannibal eats a lot of different tropical foods and gets really into South American and South Asian recipes, using many spices and a variety of grains. He has a ton of fun doing that.
Hannibal sees that Will’s sad and having a midlife crisis (it seems he won’t stop being Will’s greatest crisis) and while he’s graceful about giving him space, he’s still Hannibal so he’s possessive (in that he wants control over Will’s life) and intrusive (he manipulates their circumstances to make Will react in some way)
They mostly live near water bodies; oceans or rivers or lakes. Will prefers the ocean because the crashing sound of waves soothes his pain
I imagine Will’s dreams growing more morbid and sensual, and instead of fearing them he experiences them in a sick daze as though he’s having fever dreams. Hannibal doesn’t touch him but Will does; once after waking up, he runs his knuckles down Hannibal’s cheek gently.
