A few recent scene redraws from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film! One of my favorite movies ever.

"Will’s interest in fatherhood feels both inherently queer and rooted in the performance of heteronormativity."

i LOVE this interpretation of will's fixation on fatherhood. through a queer lens, he is chasing something that allows him to deny said queerness. he projects masculinity and heteronormativity outward and onto the idea of family. onto the idea of a daughter. but simultaneously, that desire is shared, with another man. we are her fathers now. queerness is always tied to or involved with his attempts to have a child, except with molly. where he successfully and completely shells himself into a fake world where he is the man and father he wishes he could be. the person he is without hannibal

"Abigail lives ... in Will’s head long after she’s died ... She sticks around even after Will has scraped the last remnants of Garret Jacob Hobbs from his mind, because this version of Abigail is no longer a mirror of the real thing or even the product of Will’s empathy disorder. He’s a remnant of the life he could have had with Hannibal, a manifestation who says words the real Abigail never said because she’s long in her grave. A comforting presence who keeps Will tethered to the man he pretends not to want"
