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.

tbh i feel the same way about freddie lol

THE DRAGON SLAYER

Will Graham is a hero, and Hannibal Lecter is dead.

To Will Graham's knowledge, it has been two months since he killed Francis Dolarhyde and coerced Hannibal Lecter to die alongside him. Three men were to enter and none were to get out with their lives. Will Graham got out with his life, and with only a scrambled brain, a broken spine, and a cruel, perching thing on his shoulder to show for it. A perching thing that cackles its favorite phrase:

Hannibal is dead.

SO in love with this coat i made for my Freddie Lounds doll

I'm curious, so...

I'm rewatching Hannibal now that I have a bit more free time and one of my favourite things about the first season is how much fun the show has with the fact that virtually everyone watching already knows that Hannibal is a cannibalistic serial killer — the cannibal puns, the cuts between Hannibal's victims and him preparing meals, the way he's so consistently but subtly manipulative in a way you can't fully appreciate without knowing who he is. I think creators adapting popular stories/characters can fall into the trap of writing or directing the same way they would for a narrative that isn't already entrenched in the popular consciousness, but Bryan Fuller and co. really leaned into that awareness and wove it into the narrative in a way that produces some truly spectacular dramatic irony.

i genuinely like hannibal, but its most serious downfall is the fact that there are always like 5 different plot lines going on at once and they all get neglected for episodes at a time with no mention of the characters involved multiple times over the course of the show… we’re at Will’s trial and there has been no mention of Dr. Gideon, Bella, or Miriam for multiple episodes, but they are huge parts of the subplots that make up the show.

How do we feel about Freddie Lounds? Like we as a whole? I need a general consensus.

I know this has nothing to do with anything but I’m rewatching Hannibal and I kinda love how Hannibal likes Freddy only because Will hates her. Like otherwise you know Freddy would be dead. The first time Hannibal met Freddy he was truly intending on murdering her and then:

Will: It’s not very smart to piss off a guy who thinks about killing people for a living

Hannibal, suddenly super horny: Yeah I’m gonna keep this one alive.

I have decided to be a full time Freddie lounds apologist. She did nothing wrong ever because shes a funny gay bitch.

ok i lied im back on tumblr already. ANYWAY-

these two would be an unstoppable duo.(they would get murdered immidiately)

someone help me give them a shipname.

Shoutout to Freddie Lounds for being such an icon <3

Girl literally sees from day 1 the same thing Hannibal sees in Will and has the completely opposite reaction.

there's so much freddie hate in the hannibal fandom purely because of how competent she is at her job. from day one she clocked will as the freak he is. she was on it and everyone immediately pinged her as just some nosy journalist (correct) looking for a story (correct) to make out of an innocent man who is just doing his job (incorrect). freddie is more than the "girl boss" character i feel like a lot of people who do like her flatten her out to be. her motivations extend beyond just being good at her job, and i would argue a lot of her character is dedicated to the truth even if how she presents it is sensationalized. she digs for a truth that not a lot of people are going to like or easily digest, and she's motivated enough to use her body to get the story out there. freddie is willing to go to great lengths to get a hold of the narrative, and even though a lot of the show centers around the articles she publishes, no one ever really talks about how it's freddie's actions that get to them. she is a morally gray character with the lines, laws, and boundaries she's willing to cross in order that people might see the killers she is seeing. she's whip smart and has great intuition, and no one suspected will, or abigail for that matter, until her articles about them put that at the forefront of everyone's minds. even hannibal could be swayed by her articles and he used them regularly to check up on will and the various other killers around because freddie was that good at doing her job and keeping tabs on those that were suspicious
