would kill for a basic ass no plot domestic hannigram. no not my own (lovely beast) cause I write that awful shit for you guys but it's not my personal preference lol I am gloomy. I wanted a cozy but gloomy domestic hannigram like. headache Will, scalp massage Hannibal. lazy sunday afternoon sex. watching murder docs on the couch while holding hands.
oh because Will has the urge to kill—no, Will, like everyone else, has thoughts of violence. Fleeting, passing impulses that most people release and forget. But in Will, these thoughts don’t dissolve, they gather meaning. The perversion within him isn’t rooted in the desire itself, but in what that desire comes to represent. There is something else inside him that the violent impulse becomes a vessel for. When you think of killing, it passes through you like wind. When Will thinks of it, something shifts. He doesn’t see it as a common human tendency; he sees it as a flaw specific to him. That interpretation is what gives the impulse weight. And that weight becomes a craving.
The capacity to empathize, especially when it shows up as mirroring (which Will does and it's confirmed on the scripts), can stem from a defense mechanism rooted in the fear of rejection or abandonment. Empathy might not necessarily be about "feeling with" the other in a pure sense, but rather about detecting, and adapting to, and mimicking others in order to remain safe, accepted, or invisible. It's not conscious, and it's not manipulative, it’s a form of survival intelligence, hence why in the script he seems to do it mostly (not always) accidentally.
For someone who grew up in an unstable, critical, or emotionally unpredictable environment, mirroring becomes a kind of camouflage. If you can reflect the mood, posture, language, or energy of another person, you reduce the risk of conflict or rejection. It's a form of social masking, shaped by the need to maintain attachment or safety.
Over time, this may develop into what people call “high empathy,” but it’s not always a naturally attuned, mutual openness, it's more a finely honed radar scanning for threats and adjusting accordingly.
The person can appear deeply empathic, but what they’re actually doing is constantly reading and adjusting, not necessarily connecting. They might match speech rhythms or word choices (Will with Jack and some teen girls/script), mirror facial expressions or gestures (Will with Peter), and even start to "feel" the emotions of others (as if they're their own), but this doesn’t come from a desire to know the other, it’s a reflex to stay safe, not punished or rejected.
If this pattern persists, then the person might lose touch with their own preferences, desires, or even sense of identity. They become a reflection of whoever is near. This can feel like a gift (“I’m so good at reading people”) but often leads to confusion, exhaustion, or emotional enmeshment.
This mechanism overlaps with what trauma theory sometimes calls the fawn response, which is where instead of fighting, fleeing, or freezing, the individual responds to stress by appeasing and pleasing. Mirroring can be part of that. It’s a subtle, embodied way of saying: I’m like you, don’t reject me.
So the ability to empathize or mirror can be a kind of intelligence, one which Will certainly learned to use intentionally, but it often begins as a wound. It’s not inherently pathological, but it is shaped by conditions where safety depended on becoming who others needed you to be.
