Antony Dimmond really just existed to make Hannibal even more explicitly queer, prove that Hannibal is so deeply down bad for Will that "guy kinda similar to Will but also more in line with what Hannibal would have probably thought he wanted" simply will not do, and then get turned into a super romantic present. Icon. ❤️
love how the first episode of Hannibal is like "all these practically identical teenage girls are going missing and we haven't even found parts of them" and Will is like *staring with glazed eyes into the ether communing with the eldritch gods*: "he's eating them" and then it cuts to a Hannibal Cooking Montage™ and you're like "wow that is some boring-ass serial killer pathology Dr Lecter, I don't find you that interesting." Then you find out that Hannibal is probably chowing down on a middle-aged male city council member who looked at his curtains funny and it's some other dweeb who's so obsessed with his daughter that he's eating every brunette in the tri-state area
Violence
Once again thinking about the power of Will Graham to turn Hannibal Fuckin' Lecter into the POV character for the audience because you'll see this beautiful man with his frizzy curls and his big wet blue eyes just quivering with shame and horror at himself whispering brokenly, "I liked killing" and you'll be like "BABYGIRL. You should never feel bad about yourself you are so pretty you kill as many people as you want." and then eventually you'll see him lift his head and his eyes will be as clear and sharp as a polished blade beneath the sun and he will radiate power and he will not be ashamed anymore and this is his becoming and you will be like "BABYGIRL. YES. KILL PEOPLE. You are so pretty when you bare your blood-covered teeth in the moonlight and admit it's beautiful." and oh whoops haha now you're Hannibal.
That last ask reminded me how much fun I have making up stuff about fictional characters with little to no canonical evidence. 🤣 So send me a character from any of the tagged things and I'll make up five random headcanons about them with varying degrees of nonsensicalness in relation to canon (note: I did something similar with Yuumori characters before so this might get a bit redundant -- I'll try to mix it up but I also probably won't go back and read those lol, we'll see.)
If you see this (and you want to, of course!), reblog it with a link to a fanvid you love. Any fandom, ship, song, tone, whatever. I just want to watch some cool editing y'all. Half the time it's a random youtube rec of a really good fanvid that ends up luring me into a new fandom, so please use this opportunity to proselytize lol

Let's start a club that pairs up tumblr peeps who haven't seen Hannibal yet but who know it's going to be right up their alley, with tumblr peeps who are already obsessed. Each fannibal gets assigned an uninitiated newbie, and we just get to hang out with them while they watch it for the first time. That's it, that's the club.
For the blorbo bingo, I’m curious: Will Graham?
Yay, you've hit upon one of the characters I feel All The Things about! (Also I was hoping someone would ask this just because of the therapy squares.)
I would love to see some of your Hannibal wip (s)! I hold that show so near and dear to my heart <3
This was from a sort of plain old romance AU where Hannibal has killed but isn't a serial killer (ie has more standard, sympathetic motives like self-defense or desperation -- I never really got that far lol). In it, Abigail's mother was Will's sister, but her parents' fate is the same, so Will is dealing with losing his sister, killing a man, and becoming Abigail's guardian all at once. Frankly, I'm somewhere between meh and cringing over the whole premise now, but as I reread it for this I found there's actually some decent lines of dialogue. I might repurpose them as Mycal lmao.
The politely subtle luxury of the car makes Will more keenly aware of what a wreck he is: the zipper on the left pocket of his utility jacket is broken, his shoes are worn and scuffed around the toes, and he’s been chewing on the ends of his glasses lately so they’re worn down and chipped. It’s not that he can’t afford better – the academy is surprisingly generous with its teaching staff – he just never seems to get around to replacing things. The habit born in an impoverished childhood of using things until they fall apart has never left him even though his means have increased. He is consistently surprised by the fact that he cannot read even a hint of underlying disdain in Hannibal’s manners around him.
On the topic of my multitude of abandoned WIPs for various fandoms spanning over a decade, here's a new ask game: send me one of the following and I'll answer with...however much of an abandoned WIP for that thing I feel like sending. 😆 Might be a sentence, might be a paragraph.
I have at least one line/bit for each of those that I wouldn't mind sharing, but sometimes there might be only one little bit because the rest makes me cringe too hard, so depending on the fandom multiple asks for the same thing might be a dead end. 😅 We'll see how it goes lol.
You know that meme (for lack of a better word?) going around with the guy pulling on pants and displaying all his...assets, front and back? I’m just saying, Will Graham.
Y’all are so lucky I wasn’t really on tumblr during the 3+ years when I thought about Hannigram literally every day. I would have been absolutely insufferable.
There're some similarities between Hannigram and Sherliam, and a lot more differences. Sherliam are somehow so sweet and nontoxic at their core that the comparison seems almost silly. But there's this one bit, in the first season of Hannibal, that I think could have easily fit into Sherliam's early dynamic.
They're at a crime scene, standing right behind Jack (make it Lestrade) and Hannibal leans in towards Will and says in a wry tone something like, "This is educational." and Will gives him this little lopsided smile through his stress and I think that "criminal pretends to be clueless about and intrigued by crime in order to flirt with crime-solver" and the strange intimacy of having a situationally inappropriate little giggle right behind a bunch of Very Serious People would translate well to Sherliam.
I’m bored and moderately well stocked on interact-with-people-points so if anybody wants to send me asks or tag games or bingos or whatever today there’s a relatively good chance I’ll actually do them for once (I’m the worst. 😅)
some things that happen in hannibal that sound very fake
Just...THE show. Best romcom of all time. 😭🤣
Hannibal would eat people who go the wrong way down grocery aisles during a pandemic.
Bringing this back for Omicron
The fun thing about shipping couples who fall dramatically off of high places together is that a truly ridiculous amount of song lyrics instantly become puns, and the playlists practically make themselves.
