Oh my gahd, Will, people are trying to work here.
I saw this on Twitter and thought tumblr needed to see this.
How’d you manage to get away without any scars?
sometimes you’re Amy, sometimes you’re Rosa… sometimes you’re both

Most striking (to me) about Primavera is the aftershock when the viewer remembers Will’s entire realtionship with Abigail is in his head. Real Abigail never liked Will. She distrusted him immediately. He wasn’t supportive, he never built a rapport with her. Abigail specifically told him that he was not allowed replace her father. Will didn’t visit her by himself (that the audience saw) until he needed something from her in Releves. She agreed to return with him to Minnesota after he turned on the charm in that episode, but she was terrified by his bewildering behavior. He never saw her again (til the last seconds of her life in Mizumono).
The bond between Abigail and Will shown in Kaiseki and Primavera wasn’t just not-contemporaneously-occurring, it never happened. One of the most disturbing ways in which Will and Hannibal are similar is their obsessions with people as representations, rather than as full human beings- Mischa never got to grow up (as per current canon) while Will never tried to truly know Abigail as a person. To me that’s the important harbinger of how far Will has gone into the deep end and how connected he truly is to evil/Hannibal rather than the real world/Abigail.
what does hanni/will's obsession with people as representations have to do with mischa never getting to grow up or will never getting to know abigail though unless the idea of people as representations implies that the representations are imperfect and that doesn't seem like something will would like like remember when he talks to italian will graham and they talk about ''knowing'' *accurate* representations of people. the accuracy is important to will. unless one is saying that will understands abi and therefore doesn't need to get to know her? idk something seems not quite right with the conclusion of this meta that cooking hannibal meta
K I’ve wanted to responded to this for-like-ever. Abigail and Mischa are projections of Will and Hannibal’s respective mindsets. My point is that when an observer encapsulates another person as a representation of an emotional or temporal state (e.g. “She was kindness personified”), the observer discards the messy complexities of the actual human being for the sake of preserving the representation. This is especially poignant with murder victims- “A was such a forgiving person! He’d want compassion even for his murderer” or “B always said if someone hurt her, she’d feel responsible to stop that person from hurting anyone else. She’d want her murderer executed.” It’s not possible to ask A or B. We’re speaking for ourselves when we speak for the dead. The experience of being murdered may have confirmed the perspective they held in life, or the indescribable may have radically altered their worldview. Many have been asked, but no one can can respond.
Will is on the other side of a deep schism with reality in Primavera. Will wants to believe he’s “one of the good guys”, who could envelop a wounded teenager in compassion, help her heal. In Will’s mind, that girl he barely knew is his cheery confidante because that’s what he wishes he could have accomplished, desperately wishes had been the uncomplicated reality. However, Will’s action in Relevés was manipulating the trust of an unstable teenager. In Mizumono, Will watched her die at the hands of the man he loves. Will deluded himself into thinking he was avenging Abigail when he bonded with Hannibal in the latter half of Season Two.... but Will was completely oblivious to her existence in the house. Any paternal instinct did not alert Will to her presence. His insight into Hannibal’s mind didn’t allow the possibility that the angry, wounded teenage girl might accept the bargain he could not- a life without fantasy, in a reality more fantastical than most could contemplate.

Why is Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal a feminist series? Because its women characters aren’t caricatures. Their actions are moral, immoral, and amoral. Each character fights for her own reasons: self-preservation, the truth, defense of others, her own dignity. We have always fought.
