A hufflepuff’s sett

𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬 𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔦

hannibal manipulated will, broke him mentally then put him back together again. he was fully dedicated to will's path to self-actualization. we need to bring back this kind of devotion towards the people we like!! normalize obsessing over someone to the point that your entire life revolves around them! bring back REAL ROMANCE!!!

Ref pic:

It’s purposefully isolated and “in the middle of nowhere”

Has large bay windows that are not covered by curtains

His fly-fishing desk is in front of one of those windows and there’s a pair of binoculars on the window sill

Porch that he can sit on, i.e. Aperitif where he brings out a chair and sits with whiskey and the dogs.  There’s a wicker chair shown in Ceuf.  Chairs on the porch aren’t consistent though

Sets of fishing rods behind where he sits in Shiizakana while talking to Margot.  Many fishing rods, i’d say around 15.  They disappear (in evidence) when Jack, Alana, and Winston visit his house in Kaiseki but they’re returned come Shiizakana.

He has a fishing road resting above his window!  In Ceuf, if you stop where the credits say “directed by Peter Medak” you’ll see it!

Very “homey,” lots of blankets and dog beds, which contrasts to Hannibal’s house’s cold, modern look inside

He has a full bowl of fruit next to the kitchen sink where he threw up in Savoreux.  lol i doubt he actually eats that but i don’t think it was a decoration.

In Ceuf he has his boat motor and tool box next to the chair where Mason cut off his face

Also next to that chair is a dial phone, most likely just for decoration, and some sea shells around there.  A water bottle or two on that window sill as well as a flask.

Dog figurines on the bay window next to that chair and also above the fireplace.

SO MANY BOOKS.  Two bookcases beside the fireplace filled, another mini bookshelf by the door, a few books on the nightstand next to his bed.  My list of the titles that i could make out using farfarawaysite pictures and a microscope is here.

Dog beds haphazardly around the room, space heater put in front of the fireplace for them for the cold nights

Out of tune piano, neat shirt and sock drawer, you saw those in the Ceuf creepster Hannibal scene

He sleeps in that same open room where you come in.

He keeps his window curtains up, even the windows by his bed sometimes (personally i’d find that super creepy, especially considering Georgia did actually look through the window by the door)

Has this apparently fake brand whiskey that has a ship on the bottle and a name with Glen in the title (it was very hard to make out from the picture, a Fromage still from farfarawaysite)

Will is QUITE the drinker.  He has around ten bottles in his liquor area to the left of the fly fishing desk in the corner.  On the window sill is a glass bowl filled with corks probably from old whiskey bottles.  He’s been shown to drink while working on the motor boats and while working on the fly ties.

Seemed to have kept the decorations from the last owner- kitchen wallpaper, furniture, etc.  (He has many chairs for a lonely man, as well as a lottt of lamps.)  Also it’s interesting to compare Will’s very old refrigerator, briefly seen in Savoreux, to Hannibal’s sleek, modern one seen in Yakimono.

Some paintings on the fireplace and in the kitchen, all nature related and country looking.  One of trees, another of a country house among fields.  Also a glass vase with bird feathers on the fireplace.  In Yakimono, at the beginning of the scene with Chilton in Will’s house, you can see a painting of a basket of apples and blue/white checkered cloth.  Also in that scene, you can see a kitchen hutch with all these large mason jars, but you can’t see what’s in them.

He has this glass rooster thing on his kitchen counter.  i’m not sure if it’s a covered bowl or maybe an orange juicer, but you can see it very briefly when Will’s getting aspirin before he throws up in Savoreux.

That back door shown in Buffet Froid when Will taking in his fish leads to the kitchen, also shown in the Savoreux throw up scene.

So I went back to S1, and sure enough, there’s no curtains on any of the windows for a large part of the season.  But when he wakes up in “Savoureux,” he does have them, and they’re drawn completely. They’re there in the dream he has about Georgia in “Releves,” too. And I WANTED to believe that he had them installed after the Georgia thing because she freaked him out so badly, but unfortunately they were there in that episode too.

The label for it does not have a ship on the bottle but it looks like this:

So it’s pretty Hannibalcentric if you really had to argue it, and maybe it can be misconstrued as such from a distance? 

Anyhow, Glenfiddich has the distinction of being the kind of whiskey that married a subtle fruity sort of flavor with the oaky nature of its taste. The Glenfiddich twelve-year is affordable and pretty standard for a whiskey drinker, oaky in flavoring with a touch of pear. The Glenfiddich fifteen-year has remnants of a honey flavoring in addition to a spicy sort of emphasis, all of this reconciled with an oaky sort of taste. It has the distinction of being brewed in a Solera reserve which means that the process involves never truly emptying a barrel and brewing one on top of the other and then aging, continuing this over and over for each bottled product. I can see him springing a little more for the Glenfiddich fifteen over the twelve, because the honey and spices flavor sounds more appealing to me for Will Graham than the pear flavoring sort of does, and I can see the process making for a richer whiskey.

i got it wrong though, it ends with Glen.  It appears to say “Golinday Glen” but i’m not sure if that’s right.  i asked other people about it a while ago and they said it’s probably made up.  God knows i googled it every which way, and it didn’t come up with anything.  The ship on the bottle is above the text.  i can’t make out the picture underneath.

But maybe it’s based off Glenfiddich?  i don’t know.  While i was googling that, i found this carafe which would have been perfect to put in the background on Will’s whiskey cabinet area.  i think i recall seeing one, but it was plain.
