when i say no one understands regulus like i do i mean it in way that ive projected so much of me onto him that i basically use him as a doll to observe myself from an outside perspective

Sanegiyuu FUSION!!

This took a fun few hours lmao I think they’d be stubborn and indecisive, obviously very standoffish.

Their inability to work together shown through their fighting, being complete opposites. But when they do finally get ahold of themselves, they’re fighting is a lot smoother. Perfect offense and defense.

louis and armand being in both shots in the you and me section when everyone else was shown separately from louis………

The game of duck duck goose is simple. You gather acquaintances together in a circle and go around, tapping each of them and calling them a plain old duck, until eventually you decide on a successor. You tap this person and call them a goose, then run to escape them and eventually take their place in the circle. Tell me Will, if I dubbed you my (mon)goose would you chase after me, even if I came back to where it all started?

Isn’t this the shit will and hannibal were on in the last season?

okay but Will asking Bedelia if Hannibal's in love with him... at first i was like, well duh, how did it take you this long to figure out? but then i realised he's asking for confirmation of what he already knows, and having a moment of realisation; not about the fact that Hannibal is in love with him, but about what that means for Will. his response to Bedelia asking but do you ache for him? is everything- the way the question hangs in the air, the last thing we see being his face against a black background with an unchanged expression... it all speaks volumes without him having to say anything at all; yes, despite everything Hannibal has done, Will aches for him. and this is where it hits him that he is never getting out of this, he's never going to be able to go back to how things used to be, and he has an impossible choice to make- he can give in to Hannibal, fully embrace the dark side of himself, and never be able to live a normal life again, or he can kill Hannibal to get his old life back. except he can't do either of those things, because as Bedelia said, Will can't live with him, can't live without him. so in the end, he chooses to throw himself off the cliff with Hannibal; a way for them to be together and end it all at the same time. and so they are forever entwined, whether they live or die.

tell me, will...

“you and i have begun to blur”

he's already in me

“You,” he starts, but that is wrong. Sour. “I,” he tries again, and that is wrong, too. * The acid has slipped past their lips easily enough. Their souls fuse.

—your heart beat in my ribs and mine in yours

Herman Melville, from a letter to Nathaniel Hawthorne c. 17th November 1851

“they were moving in perfect time, like one animal” / “they seemed to want to fuse into what would surely be an even rarer animal”

In today’s episode of “Stuff I Only Noticed Going Through The Show Shot-by-Shot“

In s1e4, when Will is talking about feeling synced with GJH, Hannibal asks how Will felt when he saw Marissa Shule (Hannibal’s kill in the antler room). Will says he felt guilty because he felt like he’d killed her.

Will goes on to talk about feeling like they were synced, like they were eating or showering or sleeping at the same time every day.

The flashbacks to GJH imply that he’s referring to feeling synced with GJH, but at no point in the dialogue did they switch back from talking about Hannibal’s kill. And Will knows Marissa wasn’t killed by GJH. He thinks about seeing Marissa on the antlers, then talks about feeling synced with the killer with an expression of furtive pleasure, even pride.

Hannibal asks, “Even after he was dead?” and the ambiguity is broken, but it’s interesting that even so early in their relationship, Will was subconsciously sensing the blurring of self with Hannibal.
