I want to share something that I think only you people on tumblr understand and that is that:
I am deeply and profoundly in love with Will and Hannibal. Something about their connection just touches me in a way that is almost too much to verbalize. I believe that Hannibal – by the use of symbolism – tells a much more complex story than the surface reveals. Hannibal is a cannibal and murderer on the show – but what series REALLY portrays is a man who decides, for the first time in his life, to show his darkest parts to someone else. And doing so actually is the boldest thing in the world. To be ,seen’ in all your most shameful and destructive flaws and to still be loved and accepted. I guess that’s the deepest wish we all share. I don’t know if I have ever seen anything more beautiful in my life – even though on the surface we see a sick, twisted relationship and two people fighting each other in agony. But what we see too is the true level of grief that comes with abandonment..and the sadness that can linger for years. We also see acts of vulnerability that are the only way to real intimacy – on both sides. The reality behind it is true connection and belonging and I don’t think I will ever find the words to describe what Hannibal has done to my soul. How it has enriched me, every part of me and taken a hold on my entire being. I love this show. I love the characters so so much. Yes I find it sexy and special and extremely desireful that they are portrayed by two men. But that is not the major point. The most important thing about Hannibal is that it has showed me again, that good storytelling can transcent real life – can be even more meaningful or powerful than a rel life experience and that in the very end it can even change the world by changing individual people. I thank the actors, the writers and the showrunner for this amazing gift. And I think at least some of you here will know what I mean and understand…

To be ,seen’ in all your most shameful and destructive flaws and to still be loved and accepted. I guess that’s the deepest wish we all share.

This is it. This is exactly why these two continue to ruin me on a daily basis. I think most humans tend to share that universal fear of not being good enough, of revealing too much about themselves only to be rejected by those they love. But with Will and Hannibal, the revealing of their deepest, darkest selves has only brought them closer together. 

There are no feelings of needing to change who they are, or of there even being a desire for that. They see each other exactly as they are, down to the barest, ugliest bits. Will has tried to hate Hannibal, he has anticipated that contempt… and yet it’s never come. In the end he always finds himself a man utterly in love. And Hannibal… Hannibal never stood a chance.

It’s messy and it’s twisted and it’s dark, but at its core their story is one of complete and unconditional love.
