nbc hannibal is a romcom purely because the central conflict results from hannibal not understanding his feelings for will and being a total loser about it because he’s never had a friend or been in love before which makes him act so silly and do the most insane things that will interprets being framed for murder as hannibal having something against him (as anyone would), and this series of misunderstandings is not resolved until hannibal’s ex girlfriend and former psychiatrist tells will that hannibal is so in love with him it makes him look stupid. after that will does not hesitate to break hannibal out of jail and douse himself in blood which is this show’s equivalent to the protagonist running to the airport to stop their love interest from leaving the country and marrying someone else before they’ve had the chance to confess that they’ve loved them ever since they’ve known them

Do you guys remember when Hugh Dancy did a Q and A on reddit and admitted he asked Mads to bite him in front of god and everyone, because I remember.

Hannibal + text posts part 2 (part 1)

imagine being a fbi agent trying to do ur job at a crime scene when ur boss jack crawford yells OKAY EVERYBODY CLEAR OUT I NEED MY MOST SPECIAL BOY IN HERE and some queasy lookin dude wobbles in, closes his eyes for 10 sweaty minutes, and opens them like "we're looking for a guy with two pomeranians and a recent injury to his left earlobe" and it turns out he's right

After finishing the show nbc hannibal leaves you with the distinct feeling and impression that will and hannibal fucked absolutely raw and nasty on screen despite there being no such scene. The power it holds.

Imagine being a patient of Hannibal’s but you just received actual therapy and then took his advice and you’re thriving, but then it comes out that almost all his patients killed at least one person I’d start wondering what was so wrong with me that he didn’t try to harness the dark urges within me, why wasn’t I worth shaping into a furry killer or some unsettling little freak with psychosexual tendencies? I’d need extensive therapy after.

So glad they didn’t put this in the show bc I genuinely would’ve spontaneously combusted.
