hannibalism

❤️👌😊

When i come down for work at 5am i usually open the curtains to see what the weather is like. Some days im open them to see the house across the road. Others i open them to see this particular van outside with Hannibal staring into my living room. Sometimes i forget to close the curtains at night and when i come down for work at 5am i see this.

It is terrifying and you can’t escape it. You either have to live in the dark or live with this staring at you while you try to watch TV.

I go to make a brew and it follows me. I watch TV and its there. I close the curtains and my dog cries because she wants to sit on the windowsill and stare at it.

And these scenes are played alongside the shots of the “body” heart in the Capella Palatina, which Hannibal made for Will:

Will is Hannibal’s perfect man, his heart. The Beatrice to his Dante. 

But, look at that heart there in the Norman Chapel. It’s being held up by three swords. The thrice pierced heart is a tarot card, one frequently used in readings about romantic relationships/lovers. Tarot has a rich history in Italy.

This are all things of which Hannibal would definitely be aware. Symbolism is never lost on him, and always intentional. 

This is the Three of Swords. In it’s upright position, as we see above, it means “Painful separation, sorrow, heartbreak, grief, and rejection.” 

S2 finale, anyone?

But, notice how the Norman Chapel heart is actually in the reversed position? Like this:

In the reversed position, the Three of Swords means “releasing pain, optimism, and forgiveness.” 

Will understands. 

“Betrayal and forgiveness are best seen as something akin to falling in love.”

@blind-inviting-alleys dared me to post this, and says I am to put this *shoves mobile over*

Bryan Fuller has officially signed Hannibal and Will’s marriage license. Epic ending to an epic con! ❤🖒

…this took fucking forever. Ich heule. 😢😭😂

“Hello, Will!”
