I have been trying sooooo hard to bring it back. I feel like we're finally getting somewhere

Hannibal: I have made Will better.

Jack: You fucked up a perfectly good profiler is what you did. Look at him. He killed someone.

he’s just toying with us at this point 😭

(from bryan fuller’s instagram story)

Forcing myself to keep uploading progress pics so I actually finish this eventually ❤️ I know she’s in the rough stage.

And to the people who reblogged the sketch I love you so so dearly. Kisses to all of you.

Sweet Mourning Lamb..

Abigail Hobbs, nobody gets you like I do. Get behind me.

And yes this is based off the one Jodie Foster promo pic for ‘The Silence of the Lambs’

"No se conoce del todo a otro ser humano hasta que no se le ama. Con ese amor vemos potencial en nuestro amado, a través de ese amor permitimos que el amado vea su potencial; al expresarlo, el potencial del amado se hace realidad."

Hannibal.

Hannibal.

It's strange re-watching Dead Like Me after 20 years. There were so many lessons about life and growing up that I remember learning, but now I realize they never really sunk in. Bryan Fuller gives great life advice through Rube, who is a great father figure for George. Rube takes an interest in George's afterlife and actively involves himself in contrast to George's father, who divorces himself from his family life and eventually actually divorces George's mom.

Roxy's also a great mom stand-in/contrast for Joy. They're both aloof and seemingly hostile with their constant criticism to George, but Roxy takes the time to help and advise her when necessary. Roxy knows when to get involved and support George whereas Joy is seemingly afraid to do the same. Fortunately, Joy seems to learn from her mistakes with George and tries harder to connect with Reggie.

Betty, Mason, and Daisy are all siblings without being a surrogate for George's relationship with Reggie. Betty was instrumental in demonstrating to George that she had to take an active part in her own life. Betty was a role model who encouraged her to try new things.

Mason is a loveable screwup who grows throughout the show. At first he demonstrates how not to live the afterlife and makes poor decisions. In this way, he's allowing George to learn without having to make the mistakes herself. He's also very protective of George (and Daisy) and supports her even when the other reapers give her a hard time (often because she needs to learn a lesson).

Daisy is terrible when she's first introduced, but she later calms down and seems to become genuinely concerned about George after they move into a house together. Their relationship mirrors George and Reggie's with Daisy acting as George in this relationship, and had George lived, I think the sisters would have eventually acted the same way. Regardless, Daisy-as-an-older-sister demonstrates a different kind of self-confidence that I'm glad George doesn't adopt.

"It's never too late to become unhealthily obsessed with a niche television show that went off the air years ago."

(I searched high & low for the author of this original comic format and could only find reposts. I can only hope I made them proud. If you know who they are, let me know so I can credit them.)

Would you believe I got to go on tour this weekend to these exotic Hannibal locations with Hugh & Mads?

i absolutely do not want a fourth season of nbc hannibal but what i do want is for the existence of this current version of iwtv to drive bryan fuller into crowdfunding a 12 minute independent film in which hugh dancy and mads mikkelsen’s unnamed characters erotically murder each other in increasingly fantastical dream sequences until they are interrupted by a mysterious figure with a gun, whereupon we discover that they have been narrating these scenes to each other while having just some pretty average ‘fiftysomething guys who have been having kinky married sex for eight years now’ knifeplay time in their little villa full of murder trophies or whatever

This

so this has probably already been talked about in great detail since the end of the show (hannibal) but I just did a rewatch and I can't shut up about it. the incredible level of subtle details in this show is already insane but I noticed it much clearer in my rewatch during season 3 part two how quickly we see Will change.

during *The Great Red Dragon*, Will is back to mostly his pre-Hannibal self. We see him married with a family out in the country with his dogs and more specifically his clothes (I am going to be very specific about what he wears in this because it's these details that are so subtle but make his change so much more crispy). He's wearing very practical, warm weather clothes, looks like an outdoorsman.

like, reminder that this ↓

is how he shows up to meet Hannibal again for the first time in years. Glasses, coat, clearly clothes he would not think twice about wearing anywhere, kind of like how he dresses in season one. It's also in his expression and his stature (which bless Hugh Dancy for his portrayal of Will because I don't know who else could have done the subtle changes so eloquently)

now let me take you to the episode directly after (And the Woman Clothed with the Sun) he first sees Hannibal and has to come back to talk to him

i'm sorry??? Immediately with the crisp button down, tucked in, with the top buttons undone, hair slicked back, NO GLASSES and look. Look at how he stands and his expression and how comfortable he is, hands in pockets.

okay further evidence. And honestly arguably the scariest piece

it's the dead-eyed stare for me. We all know what happened to Chilton after this, and it's the fact that he knew what he was doing. God, Will was never more like Hannibal than he was at the end of season three. Clothes are not much different on purpose because he's playing the game now.

Sidebar that in almost all the scenes that he's bitchily talking to Bedelia, he's also very well dressed as if he's taking Hannibal's place in his manipulation of her.

By the time we see him in The Wrath of the Lamb, he has already decided that he wants Hannibal back. Vaguely suggesting to Jack to use Hannibal as bait for the Dragon, as if he didn't very well consider all the outcomes would likely lead to Hannibal escaping. The way they're looking conspiratorially at each other in the back of the van. How Will isn't even remotely surprised he walks out unscathed or how he doesn't question letting him drive them to wherever they're going to meet the dragon.

And once they get to the cliffside house, and they get settled and Will?

His shirt is tight, his expression is the SAME as the one Hannibal had in episode ONE season ONE, as he watches Hannibal BLEED OUT and wonders probably what they will do.

There are plenty of ways everyone that worked on this show displayed how Will was changing but I loved how they used his clothes to do it and how Hugh used his expressions to differentiate pre-Hannibal and post-Hannibal Will.

I could write a dissertation on this show it's insane and I will never shut up about my murderous gay husbands.

I don’t… I don’t even know what to say. Mayhaps I’m shaking

Since I'm delulu and I love to have everything nice and in order, and a lot has been going on lately in this fandom, I need to sort this all out in my head and I decided to share these facts that may indicate that we will get a fourth season of Hannibal:

3. Mads Mikkelsen' words

4. Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy's reunion on the MAIN stage at the C2E2. Announced on the anniversary of the premiere of the first episode of the series!

5. Photos added by Bryan Fuller on the occasion of the eleventh anniversary of the first episode of the series? Including a previously unseen behind-the-scenes photo from the filming of the show's final scene?

I am so unwell

Tumblr right now:

Season 4 won't happen it's just a reunion haha...UNLESS?

I am throwing up

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?!!?!?!? REPOST PPL

‘There’s something about the transportation of a kiss… I feel like [on the bluff] their lips lingered so long, hovering above each other, that… I don’t think we can roll that back. I don’t think that’s authentic. I don’t think it’s realistic for two people to get to that moment, and if their story is continuing, to ignore that from happening. I can see versions of suppression. But, as we all know, anything you suppress is just going to erupt louder and harder.’
