Has Hannibal ever just eaten a people-bologna sandwich in his boxers at 3 am after a long night of murdering or does he literally only eat 8 course meals containing 73 ingredients and 18 sauces
Okay, no, I have more feelings about this than I thought I did, and it certainly isn’t MY fault, @softwillgraham, so I want to compile all the reasons why Hannibal Lecter is the perfect knitting grandma, because those reasons deserve to see the light of day:
– Hannibal Lecter sitting by the fire in his reading glasses (seriously, he’s about 53 and probably needs them) with his current knitwork project neatly in his lap.
– Hannibal Lecter knitting warm socks for his husband, because they live in Iceland, and you either wear three pairs of socks and cuddle with your hubbie all day or you DIE, Will.
– Hannibal Lecter knitting tiny sweaters for the dogs, because they deserve to be warm and… well-dressed? Dunno, he knows more about fashion than I do.
– Hannibal Lecter knitting egg cosies for their breakfast table.
– Hannibal Lecter having treacherous Grandma Cookie Tins™. Will’s disappointment at expecting cookies and finding sewing supplies is only surpassed by the dogs’ disappointment at expecting dog treats and finding sewing supplies.
Feel free to add grandma headcanons to this!
Dude don’t forget the cross-stitched floral signs that says things like “home is where the knives are”, that’s very important
Watching people put Jack Crawford in his place brings me such joy
Specifically, when in the first episode, “Aperitif”, Jack first visits Hannibal, Hannibal is seeing Franklyn off and Jack rudely interrupts them as soon as they step out of the office. After the initial misunderstanding of who Dr Lecter is, Jack asks him if he can come in, while Franklyn is still casually standing there. Hannibal responds with, “You may wait in the waiting room,” and Jack just stands there for a few seconds with this dumbstruck expression:
I love it, especially after that earlier scene in the men’s toilet where he yells at the poor, unsuspecting FBI Agent for trying to use the restroom for its intended purposes. I mean, it’s not like he and Will could go find a private office and talk there lol
I’m rewatching Hannibal again but with a twist that no one saw coming. I’ve decided to take my time and am thus not binge watching it, but savouring every scene, one episode at a time. And the episodes are in 1080p, which means I’m sitting here, awestruck from the all around high quality goodness that is NBC’s Hannibal.
Hannibal “I will wear a full body murder condom but don’t think for a second I’m gonna put a hairnet over these beautiful locks while I’m murderin’ and cannibalizin’” Lecter
He probably wears a wig that looks like Hannibal Lecter’s hair but is made from lion’s hairs or something equally exotic…(and expensive). But that is not easily to discover on TV.
May I ask for your business card, please? For my records.
You guys ever think about Hannibal climbing under this car to fuck up the gas tank?
I did think about it when I was writing that whole scene in A Preference for Blood. I pictured a lot of Hannibal just following Caldwell around, learning his habits and movements, finding weak points. I’m not sure how long it would take for a car to run out of gas (obv Hannibal does know that or he couldn’t have timed this so perfectly), but he either broke into Caldwell’s garage the night before, or he got to his car in the parking lot/garage at Caldwell’s office. And honestly, I just want to picture Hannibal in one of his fucking plaid three piece suits kneeling on the ground in broad daylight taking a screwdriver or something to someone’s gas tank, and somehow NO ONE NOTICES.
here’s the thing though – if you saw someone in a three-piece suit in a parking lot kneeling next to a nice parked car doing something under it, you might pause for a moment and wonder what he was doing, until he looked up, smiled, and said “oh, thank you, but I’ve got it.” You’d smile back and then keep walking, right?
Very good point. Honestly, whenever people start wondering, “How does Hannibal get away with that??” I’m always like…dude. He’s white. And rich. In America.
I’m quite frankly surprised he got caught at all.
Not to derail this post completely or anything, but if he’d sued the FBI for harassment mid-to-late season 2 instead of throwing a tantrum he probably would have gotten away with everything forever.
but that would’ve been boring, because he wouldn’t have gotten to play with Will.
who just started to get really interesting to/interested in Hannibal 😁
"Technically, you killed him."
