#will's asks

My biography practically says it all already.

I've made an account here under the recommendation of a friend. Somewhere to put down my thoughts and teach some of what I do to an audience. Not that there's any right category for what I do, let alone a neat word I can sum up in a "tag".

Who knew that long-term involvement with the FBI would open myself up to further public scrutiny? Not me.

Oh, yes, that was me. I definitely knew. I suppose there's worse places to be made to document my condition, like the inside of Dr. Chilton's office.

I suppose asks are open. After all, I have nothing to hide.

((ooc))

This is season 1 Will primarily. He will be in the regular timeline of the show, but different versions of Will from different timelines will pop up.

And of course, this is as close to canon Will as I can get him, so he will be sassy, snappish, and short. Don't worry, it's all bark no bite.

TAGS THAT WILL BE USED (updated as we go along):

#canon timeline Will (What it sounds like)

#will's journal (Will's journal entries)

#post fall AU (What it sounds like)

#bad ending AU (Post Fall AU where only one of them lives)

#will graham speaks (Any Will Graham responding or initiating a roleplay scenario)

TAKEN ANONS:

OMG, Bylers, check it out. I just got my first hella negative ask from a hella-delusional milkshit. I am legit stoked rn.

And like, anon, let me tell you, just sayin' ain't gonna change squat. Whatever's meant to go down will go down.

And you know what? I never actually hated you or your crew of milevens for shipping el and Mike. Nah, I loathe you all for hating on Will Byers, for being hella homophobic, for spreading that toxic sh*t.

Ah, hello Hazel. Everything is just..alright. Nothing bad, nothing overly positive. I've been able to relax, somewhat.

I've found this at your place, Special Agent Graham. I never took you for a more... Colorful and glittery kind of person. However, I'll admit it is a pleasant surprise, and I do enjoy getting to know more about the few F.B.I. agents who have proven themselves competent and worthy of their titles.

[ooc]: she definitely put those in his house. because. she's stalking a lot of people lately.

I have nothing against glitter. But I don't keep it in my house. Something tells me you know that already. Playing dumb doesn't suit you, Sarah.

Now that it's all over the place, I'll have to put it to some use. (he smiles a little sarcastically). Sparkly fishing lures? I think you'd know a thing or two about luring. Your brand of manipulation seems to lean much into your Dad's methods, but flattery won't get far with me. Neither will lying. And neither will sneaking around my house without my knowledge.

I must confess, the notion of multiplicity is fascinating: other Hannibals, other Wills, scattered across time and circumstance, each repeating some variation of our symphony. That is a kind of immortality, is it not?

Repetition does not dilute meaning. Even if there are a thousand Hannibals whispering to a thousand Wills, only you and I share the authenticity of recognition. The original composition from which all others are derived. Theirs is borrowed music; variations on a theme, as it were. Ours is lived experience. If there is indeed a Hannibal for every Will Graham across all universes, as romantic as that is, I am pleased to be yours just as I hope you are pleased to mine.

Personally, I am content to remain singular. The others are only echoes, and echoes, however numerous, owe their existence to the original sound. There is no need to attempt to curry the favour of my imitation, Will.

Dear Dr. Lecter,

Rather presumptuous of you to assume you are the "original," the "singular", isn't it? Every and any Hannibal Lecter worth their salt would suggest the same thing. I do agree, though. It seems unfair that the universe has to carry the weight of not just one, but millions of you.

I'm not surprised there are millions of others just like us on paper. Maybe there's others out there that have a better ending. Or a worse one. But there will never be one just like you.

Just like there could never be another Will Graham just like me.

i trust you and your… entourage are faring well.

i was not aware there existed more than one version of you.

i have heard whispers of such… alternative realities colliding on this platform.

how… inquisitive.

Regardless,

it’s been too long since we last exchanged pleasantries — we must remedy that.

Dr. Lecter,

I've long since grappled with the implications of other me's, other you's on this site. Of course what would be a world-shattering revelation to others would only be 'inquisitive' to you.

I see you've been busy. Everyone wants to get a glimpse into Hannibal Lecter's mind. They can't see you like I can, though, can they?

I've been busy, too. Meeting people. Don't have much time for correspondence.
