I feel like it's harder for me to express my thoughts lately, but I've been thinking a lot about Beverly Katz and I cannot stand being alone with my thoughts anymore, so I’m sorry. 

When Will was in Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Beverly was one of the few people who visited him there. She needed his help at work, but at the same time, we know that even before, without any hidden motives, she genuinely cared about his life. We also know she's the oldest child in the family. It is very common for the oldest children to feel responsible for their younger siblings.

I believe she feels the same sense of responsibility towards Will, like if he is her younger brother, which is why she tries to be there for him when he needs comfort. 

Beverly is in a few episodes, but I won’t write about every single of them. I'm going to focus on the things that support my thesis about her perceiving Will as her younger sibling.

In Amuse Bouche she asks him about his well-being, tries to joke with him (he had just killed a man, to protect an innocent person and himself!), teaches him how to hold a gun properly. 

In Coquilles she again shows concern about his condition and I have the impression that in this dialogue she speaks to him like to a child she doesn’t want to frighten:

In Buffet froid there is a lot of interactions between them. First, when panicked Will races out into the hallway, she stares at him and asks with a hint of concern “Will?”. When Will tries to reassure himself he didn’t kill Beth LeBeau, he calls Beverly and when she hears he called her,  because he is not entirely sure what he saw was real, the script says “That admission almost breaks her heart, but it doesn't show.”. She tells him that he is the subject of a lot of speculation at the bureau, since people speculating that Jack pushed him right up to the edge and now he is pushing himself over. Later in the same episode she checks Will for evidence that would tell he killed Dr. Sutcliffe and reassures him that there's nothing that would indicate he is the person responsible for killing Dr. Sutcliffe.

When Will is arrested for evidence suggesting he killed Abigail Hobbs, Beverly is unable to maintain complete professionalism and talks to him while collecting evidence from his body. She tells him she didn't want to find anything on him, but since Will always says he's interpreting evidence, he should do it now. She is angry, disappointed and she says, “You should have recused yourself from any investigation. (...) However far over the edge you were leaning, I was hoping that you wouldn’t fall.”

As I have written already — when Will is in Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Beverly is one of the few people who visits him there. They make a deal — he helps her with work, she tries to prove he is innocent and she is going to check Hannibal Lecter. We know how it ends for her — Hannibal kills her and Will is needed to resolve this case. Here is a piece of the script from this scene:

Later Will tries to kill Hannibal Lecter by proxy, because he is mad about everything Hannibal caused in his life; he knew about Will’s encephalitis, framed him for his crimes, killed Abigail Hobbs and Beverly, Will's only friend. 

However it turns out Will has to change tactic and he ends up falling in love with Hannibal, they are known as murder husbands! On the one hand, I imagine that because of that Beverly has to turn in her grave because she died trying to prove that Hannibal was guilty of crimes Will was accused of, and on the other hand, Will and Beverly really liked each other, and in my opinion, Beverly felt like his older sister, so I feel torn because I think she would, to some extent, enjoy Will's happiness anyway. One way or another, man, this whole situation is sick, especially if you look at it from Beverly's perspective.

not me reading a post fall fanfiction and then being confused why beverly isn't there

I need more bestie Will and Bev content so I make it myself. They are the only cool people to ever exist in the FBI.

Also the Fred(dies) whom I despise (I love them with my whole heart). They are my favorite AO3 authors.

In the aftermath of their imprisonment at Hannibal's hands, Beverly and Abigail spend an afternoon at the shooting range.

written for the h/c exchange & @hannibalbingo “student & teacher” excerpt below!

“You should come home to Florida with me for a visit sometime,” Beverly said, puncturing Abigail’s reverie. She looked up at Abigail, loading a new magazine into her gun with flawless movements. Muscle memory, Dad would’ve said. “Mom’d love you, and I’ve got a few siblings about your age.”

Abigail arched a brow. She folded her arms across her chest and let her gaze drop to Beverly’s hands. “Doctor Bloom would never let me.” It was the truth, and an easy excuse, too. She didn’t think Beverly meant anything by it, but Abigail was tired of people trying to cut and paste her into their family. Even if she thought she might get along with Beverly’s—after all, she got along pretty well with Beverly herself—Abigail knew she’d only sit there at the table with them all and see Mom and Dad. Hannibal. Will.

Abigail took the gun from Beverly when it was offered to her and turned her body to face the target. “She wouldn’t let me come here either if she knew what we were actually doing,” she added. Convenience of the excuse aside, the way that Doctor Bloom babied her was annoying. Abigail was definitely messed up, but 10 PM bedtimes and hospital confinement weren’t going to fix her.

She set the gun down on the barrier and leaned her hands against it, arms spread wide. “It’s like she thinks if she can coop me up tight enough, all the nightmares will squeeze out of me like toothpaste,” Abigail scoffed. She shook her head, looking down at the gun and hearing protection lying in front of her. “But I just feel like I’m gonna explode.”

tell me why too i adore everyone

listen people are and always have been weird abt female characters but i need ppl who were not there when hannibal was popular to know

people did used to talk about the female characters, they did, they did, they did, and plenty of them even had positive things to say!! beverly katz was a beloved character, people loved her!!

I can't speak to the others because I wasn't paying attention (my exposure to the show at the time was very much against my will but i knew all their names and faces) and the others are way less morally good and u kno how ppl act when a woman is morally ambiguous or god forbid Evil, but like

the reason you can say things like "wait there are female characters in hannibal? no wonder i never knew that 🙄🙄🙄" is mainly because the show is no longer current, people are just talking about their main favorites at this point as a lingering memory, at the time it was not uncommon at all

this isn't even talking about the current fandom (which is much smaller than it used to be), this is just about when it was literally impossible to avoid exposure to it before the show was canceled

house md for 13 and hannibal for 18

13. worst blorboficiation house for sure. i love him Dearly but people can. make him seem so like. weak and fragile sometimes?? like yes peepaw is unwell and is Very sad about but hes not gonna like. openly whail and sob while wilson takes care of him?? thats like Not how he works. his ass is NOT emotional open or vulnerable and he is sure as shit not admitting to any sort of misery any time soon

Beverly Katz my beloved you deserved better

for the ask game: why would u Not date bev katz?

Oh Beverly, my beloved.

I would not date her because she might be too outgoing/extroverted for me, she would have a lot of friends and I would have a hard time keeping up socially, she probably has insane working hours and it would be hard to have enough time with her, and I would hate to inevitably fall in love just for her to get taken away from me.

give me a character and i will describe why i would NOT date them

intermission from my regularly scheduled nonsense to hold a funeral for beverly katz my favorite girlie my best bitch my beloved you did NOT deserve what hannibal did to you and i will cry about it
