I Just Realized

I just realized

Like can you imagine telling episode 1 Will Graham everything that was gonna happen?? Like everyone who watches Hannibal goes into it with the knowledge of who Hannibal Lecter is, nothing was a surprise, but think about it for a second and you realize how batshit crazy everything is

Like

“So Will y’know that psychiatrist assigned to you rn? Yeah so first he’s gonna become one of your only friends, you’ll feel undeniably safe around him and he’ll be the only person you’ll feel comfortable enough around to actually tell the truth about everything you’re experiencing. And then you’re gonna start to hallucinate randomly and have seizures and dissociate for days at a time, and think you’re a murderer. Then you’ll find out that your psychiatrist and best friend was the murderer all along and then you’ll go to prison, and when you finally get out and start convincing people that HES the murderer you’ll realize that you love him and want to continue seeing him and you’ll choose to continue seeing him and pretend to kill people to get on his good side and then you’ll rat him out to the FBI and he’ll stab you and kill your daughter then run off to Italy. And after a while and after you’ve healed you’ll go on a huge journey to find him and then you’ll come back to America and realize that he’s actually super toxic and you shouldn’t see him because he tried to cut open your head and eat your brain. But then he’ll turn himself to the police so that you know where he is in jail all the time because he knows you won’t be able to resist going to see him. And then after five years away from each other you start talking again and he breaks out of prison with you and you kill someone together and you realize how beautiful it is and then you both fall off a cliff”

“What… the fuck are you talking about…?”

You ever think about the version of Will that was only starting to get corrupted by Hannibal? The version of him that kissed Alana in search for stability and comfort and for something that was real and not a hallucination, the version nodding and almost crying when being asked if he felt unstable?

I love this show and how it plays out as much as the next person, it's so fucking good. But man, I want to give this Will a hug and tell him it'll be okay and keep him safe while I pluck him out of the narrative as I stare down Hannibal and Chilton.

You know, normal feelings to have about a show. /lh

Hannibal s2e13 "Mizumono"

“There’s a sort of strange surrender for Will Graham at that moment. He allows the gutting. He almost feels as if he deserves it in light of what he’s done, he’s betrayed Hannibal."

—Bryan Fuller

It took me probably close to 30 hours but I finally finished this drawing of the arm squeeze because I'm still not over that moment :')
