If anyone knows Doctor Who, you know what I’m talking about. When the 10th Doctor watched The Master dying in front of his eyes, he begged him to regenerate, but he spited him and didn’t. He knew it would haunt him if he died. The last two Time Lords in the universe (at the time) and he purposely left The Doctor alone as he made him watch him die. And this spiteful stunt haunted him for a very very long time.

Hannibal has a weird gap in his knowledge and mind where he believes that Will will never love him the way he loves him. He won’t ever want a life with him, because he will always reject it no matter how much he may chase it. And since he threatened to forget him once, he’ll eventually do it again. Not untrue. So long as they’re both alive, this can always still be true. But if one of them died, this would no longer be true. Hannibal doesn’t yet know the full impact and influence he has on Will, because he assumes Will is capable of moving on without him. Or at least he can try to by manipulating the people around him. So naturally and eventually, his mind may take him to a very dark and creative place where he thinks that if Will won’t remember him in life, he might as well remember him in death. Just as Mischa did to him upon her death or so he can hope.

Granted, Will is capable of erasing things in history if it’s inconvenient to him. He did that with Abigail and he was already on his way with doing it with Molly and Wally once they no longer fit his idealistic needs. By theory and past patterns, he could do that with Hannibal. If that’s the case, then Hannibal is going to probably orchestrate his own death in a way that’s so unbelievably horrific and traumatic that Will couldn’t possibly ever forget him.

He could do as he’s been doing and keep pushing the uncomfortable truth in Will’s face that he knew exactly what he was doing when he released him from the hospital. That he did it with the intention to kill him and the Dragon and their unfortunate (or fortunate) survival means that more people will eventually die once he heals because he fucked up their ending (or did he?). So what exactly is he going to do about it?

The other way is to do it the extremely passive aggressive way in which he doesn’t tell him anything about any future plans (probably because he literally doesn’t have one…) and behaves in a way where he already assumes Will will go back to Jack and Molly and his maddeningly polite life. Maybe even give him the idea that he could use him as an excuse like he always does. Granted this only really works if they weren’t separated at sea. He doesn’t run. He doesn’t escape to some other place. He doesn’t kill or eat anyone. He just sits and waits for Will to betray him and bring Jack and his men to his doorsteps to execute him. It’s extreme malicious compliance designed to drive Will mad until he’s forced to make a decision on their situation.

I drew this after seeing Armand with an eyepatch. I believe Armand should've responded to Louis: "I'm just pulling your leg!" …get it?

On paper, Fareed was Louis’ physician but he actually had more loyalty towards Armand as a connection. He probably didn’t even ask. He probably invited himself in and brought Fareed up to date on details as he tended to his wounds and gave him blood.

Over the course of the next 2-3 years, Armand probably continued to stay in Fareed’s place as he bitched about his life and stalked Daniel. Fareed probably let him stay since Armand has historically given him access to interesting vampire subjects. The second Lestat became famous, boom! They had their next target. Fareed was probably following events with the Talamasca as well.

A more significant problem: This sort of castle isn't defensible with the number of people who are implied to live in that house (that doesn't look like a barracks for 16+ people, and the shipping containers don't seem to be used for living or working space either!) It's fundamentally out of scale.

An even more significant problem on a logistical / strategic basis: While it generally makes sense to fortify a residence, large fortifications that require widespread cooperation (which this is one of) don't exist in a vacuum. Something even vaguely like this implies being a warlord controlling area (I don't accuse the people envisioning this silliness of wanting that).

Where's your farm field? Where are your livestock? How do you get around when the fuel for your Gigantic American Trucks is exhausted?
