“WHAT IS THAT THING?!” “Oh, that’s the Beast; that’s not its name, exactly, that’s just what folks call it around here. It’s been protecting our town and guarding our borders for generations.”
Mads on Hannibal and Will's first meeting
one of the most relatable and useful things someone once said to me is that what saved her from her own ideation was the knowledge that suicide is always an option.
And this runs counter to what is very often told, and I’m certainly not saying that that narrative is wrong. There are people that absolutely need to hear that suicide is Never an option.
But when you’ve been in those particular trenches for so long, the old sayings start to wear thin.
So what this person talked about was, the knowledge that she could theoretically always kill herself made it easier to postpone. Sure she could have killed herself this morning, but then she wouldn’t be out getting coffee with her friend. And she can always do it tonight.
But maybe tonight doesn’t work either because what she wants more than to be dead is to be warm in bed. So she’ll sleep on it. Maybe next week after seeing her friend’s musical.
And maybe that musical gives her the strength she needs to hold out for a bit longer, to scrape just a bit more joy from the world.
And maybe in two months it comes back, and she can’t do it anymore. But well, two months ago wasn’t the only time, she can always do it next month. Might as well wait for spring, the flowers are only just starting to come out.
So hey, maybe you could kill yourself. But you’re a long time dead with not a lot to do, so might as well scrape some more joy and excitement and interest and disappointment and music and grief and community and warmth from this world while you’re in it.
There’s always the possibility of something around the corner. Be curious and stay safe loves <3 (love heart.)
One thing that always confused me was why no one questioned Will throwing up Abigail's ear more.
Like, that's a whole, raw ear. No other tissue. No bite marks, evidence of chewing, or even digestion really. Like, did they just think he dry swallowed it like asprin? Just rawdogged a piece of cartilage the size of his tongue? That man has seizures and you think he can just Looney Tunes gulp an ear down his throat?
They probably asked Hannibal and his freaky ass was like "Will Graham has many unique qualities. Perhaps one such traits is being able to swallow large pieces of flesh without gagging" or some shit.
We all talk about Hannibal's creepy soulless smile but this facial expression, "You don't know whose side I'm on", this is all Will's design, Will's potential, Will's nature. Mr. Will CreepyAsFuck Graham.
Can we talk about the sexism that occurs in the Hannibal fandom.
A lot of haters of the series say that the sexism is rooted in the show itself, which it’s not. The show had no themes of sexism except for the fact that every female character deserved better. Chiyoh, Molly, Margot, Abigail, Alana, Beverly.
The sexism is rooted in the fandom. I see posts glorifying the male characters and then pointing out the flaws of the female characters and ridiculing them. (Hating one female character is one thing. But hating ALL OF THEM???🤨🤨🤨)
Like Hannibal is literally a cannibalistic serial killer who manipulates people, yet you’re hating on Chiyoh who was a victim of his manipulation and saying that she was dumb for staying in that castle for so long. I’m just so deeply confused.
Me watching people make fun of my favs🫤
