All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't know if it's 13, but it will be mid-season.

Damn it hurts to see Caroline Dhavernas cry. I'd love to see her role become meatier, but I'm also afraid that could lead to her... well, becoming meat.

Show not called Will Graham

Ahhh! That thought hurts. I'm gonna stick with my belief that this show is a duet, not a solo, regardless of the title.

how much do we know about his pattern?

She knows that the patient who attacked her was a referral from Hannibal. The detail only the two of them know is that Hannibal killed the patient during the attack. Scully wouldn't know this part but Hannibal was totally trying to see what he could turn Abigail into.

Also, that was tete d'Abigail, right?

Veal? Oh yeah. No idea what cut.

A couple of days ago I realized that the two shows I've been watching lately involve Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy both playing very damaged characters. I hope they have a lot of silly fun at home.

So it's going to be 2014 before we get more?

AUUGH AAAUGGH NO GIVE ME NEW EPISODES NOW.

Hi, I've become very ... fervid about this show.

I think Scully knows what Hannibal does, and I think she knew what the dinner he brought her was. Not necessarily who, but what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Since she won't go to his house to eat, I thought she knew something. But then she ate, so...complicit at least that far?

Dunno.

I am voting wholeheartedly for the demise of Will Graham, though. Maybe mostly to fuck with the fandom, who knows?

But I do want him to be metaphorically screwed without lube.

Noooooo! Okay, I delight in Hannibal being so. horrible., because he's supposed to be. He is the Other, he is the civilized veeneer that we try to tell ourselves holds back the terror of the night, and he has no interest in redemption or becoming like regular people. (So, y'know, many of the same reasons I like horrific vampires.) But I am also fiercely protective of Will. Partially because I empathize (heh) with the notion of not being able to filter out the emotions of everyone else; Will is a cautionary tale of the importance of self-care written in giant flaming letters.

I get the impression she doesn't leave home at all. But I do think she knows (or at least strongly suspects) what he does.

ION, my absorption in this fandom is complete: I now have crackpot cosplay ideas. I need to come up with a capelet and bustle made of black coque feathers, a black antler headpiece that won't give me a migraine, and blue-black theatrical makeup that doesn't smudge. Why yes, I want to do a Victorian-ish twist on the Dire Ravenstag/Wendigo.

There is a tumblr called Will Graham has a nice day. [link] It has pictures of dogs and things like this:

Will goes to the hospital. He has a routine check-up and the doctor explains that he is perfectly well, but perhaps should moisturise more.There is nothing wrong with his brain. The doctor also recommends getting more sun. Will goes to the park with his dogs and enjoys the sunshine, eating the lollipop the doctor gave him for being good. The lollipop is not people.

Art Crawl!!!

Jaquen H'gar is a regular on Crossing Lines! (I did not know that - until I watched it last night.)

I also had the "show not named Will Graham" thought after watching the finale of Hannibal. But I want him to survive as himself. I don't want another season of watching Hannibal make somebody else.

See, that moment made me realise I don't know what the show's premise was. I officially don't know what's happening next season, and can't work out what the second sentence of the elevator pitch (can we have a second sentence, pls?) really is.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought Hannibal had lots of great moments, lots of moments that made no sense, and a much bigger sense of its own coolness than I ever got.
