One of my favourite lines is when Hannibal says "I don't hide from God" before eating the ortolans in Ko No Mono.
How Mads delivers it. The way Hannibal seems to be barely concealing his anger, his voice slightly trembling with grudge. God failed him, and he has a personal war going on to expose His hypocrisy. God kills, lets innocents die, and then has the audacity to set Himself up as judge of humanity while being the first to enjoy their suffering.
Hannibal feels entitled to do all kinds of wicked things, because he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he will never be as cruel as Him.
Hannibal refuses to cover his head, he wants God to be witness of his evil deeds, and once again, do nothing.
When Mischa died, where was God?
When she cried Hannibal's name, and he was too weak to save her - just a young boy scratching the locked stable door with his nails trying to reach her and stop her killers - was God enjoying the scene? Hannibal might be a monster, the devil himself, but he's nothing compared to his Creator.
This is one of the rare moments in which Hannibal slips out of his person suit, where he lets Will see him. Not his monster nature, but his vulnerability.
"I let you know me. See me."

I am neither Team "Aziraphale Is The Asshole" nor am I Team "Aziraphale Defense Squad."
I'm the secret third option: Team "Aziraphale is a flawed complicated messy traumatized character who has frequently fucked things up and made morally questionable choices and I'm rooting for him anyway because I don't think any of those things make him unforgivable, the bad guy, or undeserving of a happy ending. But he still did those things and I'm not interested in explaining them away as something else, actually, because a flawed protagonist who has fucked things up but still gets there in the end and is loved and forgiven is really important to me, actually."
But that's not quippy enough, I guess. Maybe I'll start a one-person effort to popularize a tag like "flawed protagonist aziraphale" or "let aziraphale have flaws" or something else in that vein.
I don't know, the more polarized and shouty this site gets about Aziraphale the more depressing it is and the less I want to post about GO (other than to reblog all the delightful fanart I get to see on here, y'all are so talented sdfklghskjfg). I came here because I thought this at least had a slim chance of being the nuanced conversations site but it's kind of becoming a drag.
happy belated valentine's day to y'all in general and shadowgast enjoyers in particular. may you always have a life-long friend to platonically snuggle with
the best part of the social worker in the horse situation isn't even that there was a social worker in a horse or that dr hannibal b cannibal was disgusted by it or even the really gay ass hannigram scene immediately after. it's that hannibal deadass told the social worker to get back in the horse because suffocating inside a horse is preferable to any situation in which will graham has a gun
