It Is Hilarious When People Talk About The Ambulance Scene From Nbc Hannibal As Like The Pinpoint Of

It is hilarious when people talk about the ambulance scene from nbc hannibal as like the pinpoint of when Will started realizing hannibal is the chesapeake ripper, but in reality my guy saw hannibal in someone’s guts and realized he wanted it to be his guts

personally it's more thematically interesting to me if will's father was a caring father—or at least as attentive as he could be being a single father raising a son on his own and trying to put food on the table—ESPECIALLY regarding will's whole (deluded) projection onto garret jacob hobbs and his fundamental misunderstanding of abigail.

garret jacob hobbs despite his obsessiveness with abigail tried to redirect the urge outwards, and a good father in an extremely twisted way. it would be more interesting if will failed to rise to the occasion of being someone abigail could trust because he ultimately REFUSED to understand and see her—and see himself clearly as well, by extension.

he tries to connect with abigail after she's healed physically from the attack to walk, victim to victim. he wanted to believe abigail is innocent, because he wanted at first an uncomplicated story—he needed to feel justified in putting ten bullets into her father, and that would only work if he was a irredeemable monster and she was an uncontested victim. he wanted justification for the power he felt in that moment. (he wouldn't get it.)

and when he deduces abigail was the lure and killed nicholas boyle [who hannibal helped her bury], the revelation scares him, and he hoped it wasn't true even when he knew he was right. because he cannot fathom himself relating to abigail when she has blood on her hands, he cannot fathom still wanting to protect her. the lines get exceedingly blurred as the first season moves on because of will's more frequent hallucinations and abigail's mounting distrust of him. in a way abigail is how will sees himself, a victim -> someone despite their "good intentions" are capable of violence -> something Other and utterly uncategorizable. saving abigail was in a way self-preservation, and her ear that he vomited up in 1x13 savoureux is hinted autocannibalism, in refusing to contend with who you are, you are destroying yourself from the inside

Will should have been cursing every 5 minutes considering what he went through in the show. Like Gordon Ramsey level with the occasional southern accent slipping though

eminem is trans masc to some, trans fem to others, and an enemy to all

Episodes I wish we had in Hannibal: - Christmas episode. Someone said it'd be so funny if they had Will's stag hallucinations become a reindeer on Christmas, out of nowhere and that's it, just to make it festive and honestly? yes. why didn't they do that? - Halloween special. Come on, it's a horror show? Hannibal could've thrown a party and literally use his murderous basement as a dance floor, with real bodies, and no one would even blink cause "halloween decor!!" - Entire episode on the mind palace just cause it'd be fun having no boundaries. Mischa could've been there, too. - This is in every fic and I'm so mad we never got the "Hannibal taking Will to a fancy gala to investigate some murder" thing. Please, murder husbands in fancy suits! - Entire episode is Will dreaming what could've been if he had run away with Hannibal instead of Mizumono tragedy. We deserved a little indulgence. - Ill Mostro episode. Young and hot Hannibal murdering in Florence. Will is investigating in season 3A and we get flash backs. - An entire episode with "the in between" scenes we never got to see like the hypnotic sessions for example.

Honestly, Chilton is one of my favourite characters, and I don't think people acknowledge enough how complex his character is. He is the perfect example of the duality of man.

We see Chilton running the BSHCI. He's aggressive, manipulative, and unethical. He gaslights people, and psychic drives patients all in the name of power, fame, and control. He will do just about anything to get ahead. Objectively, he is not a good, morally sound person.

However, he is one of the only characters in the entire series who is completely unwilling and unable to kill someone. Even with all his flaws and weaknesses and immorality, he can't bring himself to kill someone. Will even says it point blank, "You're not a killer, Frederick."

Now compare that to a character like Alana, who arguably is morally superior to him. Obviously, near the end of the show, she's changed a lot, but for the most part, she genuinely wants what's best for people. However, when it comes down to it, she is willing and able to kill someone. I think that's totally understandable for her character, and it doesn't make her suddenly an awful person.

But when it comes down to Chilton, it's a very interesting boundary he refuses to cross. He is genuinely an awful person in so many ways, and yet here is this line that other, morally superior, characters cross, and he doesn't.
