will graham is a #relatable character for so many reasons, but perhaps the most relatable thing about him is that he’s constantly annoyed, done with and 100% ready to fucking choke hannibal to death but he also can’t help being reluctantly fond of hannibal and honestly if that ain’t all of us
I’ve noticed that too I mean at first I thought Mads is holding the fork like that in the show because he’s *~Hannibal the fancy Cannibal~*, but then it looks like that’s just how Mads eats with a fork lol
It’s how Europeans hold a fork – “hidden handle” style.
Okay…I’ve been trying to figure it out on my own and can’t…what’s weird about how he’s holding the fork?
I have no idea, this is literally how you hold a fork
Do… do Americans hold forks with the handle sticking up and just stab their food with it ‘Cause that is the only other way I can think of holding a fork
They hold it more like you would a pencil.
We like to pretend our hands are tiny forklifts and shovel the food into our faces
Ok but this whole discussion made me notice something.
This is how Will eats in the first episode:
And this is how he eats in 2nd season, when he was trying to “seduce” Hannibal:
Completely copying him, including his “fork-holding” habits xD
… I love this post, and table manner discussion.
I always assumed at some point of heightened income actors in America take a “manner class”, but maybe Mads escaped it, and Hugh channeled some rude classmates from boarding school….
I still love how Mads took the in script direction “Hannibal checks himself out in the mirror” as “Hannibal checks out his ass in the mirror.” That man is a treasure!
Sorry but if I looked like Mads/Hannibal, I’d walk into every room backwards to share my gift with the world.
You’d have to do a slow twirl then because every damn angle is a gift
Rewatching S2, this is NOT the outfit Hannibal is wearing in the next scene at court. i.e. this is just WILL’S IMAGINARY FANTASY OF HANNIBAL. Arse and all. I love that *g*
I… hadn’t noticed that it wasn’t the same suit. And so in response I will leave this here.
“I got so close to him. Sometimes… I felt like we were doing the same things at different times of day. Like I was eating… or showering or sleeping at the same time he was.”
So basically, if this happened in Will’s mind, then that is Will pretending to be Hannibal. And he is checking out Hannibal’s ass. His perfect memory capturing every detail he has been able to view!
Will was hot for Hanni early on! Confirmed for the bajillionth time!
Either that or Hannibal just kept trying on different outfits for his court date with Will and taking them off again cause they weren’t good enough like
Dedicate a piece of jewelry to them and wear it all the time
When you’re emotional, write a letter to them until your hands start to hurt
Make them a cup of tea and sit down across from it and just talk
Make some time to sit in ritual in silence and just feel them
Wear their colors for them and let them know you did it for them
Orgasms are great offerings
Take care of yourself physically and pamper yourself while you talk to them and visualize them helping you (example: washing your hair, doing your nails)
Magic is made from passion, so when you need an extra kick in the spell, visualize them touching you and whispering in your ear all the passion that you need
Eat dinner with them
Create a place where you meet in meditation
Not to insult any Gods, but this is basically how Hannibal worships Will
This isn’t the first time I’ve related to Hannibal Lecter either
The universe has spoken: Witch!Hannibal AU with tender, sensual deity!Will worshipping. Fanfic writers, it is in your hands now
:)))
also…Will doing this when Hannibal’s in prison. Waiting till Molly’s gone out and making coffee for him and Hannibal and sitting there staring at the space where Hannibal isn’t until it goes cold. Putting on his aftershave and imagining what Hannibal would say about it…every single morning.
(Or, you know, keeping Hannibal’s letter in his sock drawer and then burning it ceremonially, all alone at midnight, while gazing into the fire.)
Until one day he’s out walking in the woods, remembering Lecter Castle, and he realizes Hannibal’s walking beside him. Will asks him how he got there. “You called me,“ Hannibal says.
