I’m not even sure how to caption this, but here we go: this is Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen as paper dolls, in vintage ad form, because it’s me. In theory, you could dress them up to act out one of the many Madancy ships that are out there. Orrrr you could just enjoy them as they are, in their snug white underwear.
I know everyone wants S4 to be a horny fuckfest (some people even write it that they fuck IMMEDIATELY which is a bit iconic) but honestly? the ideal is a season so repressed it’s electric… like Will and Hannibal struggling with this new-yet-familiar dynamic of being in each other’s presence without being enemies (for now)… the magnetism of knowing what they shared back on that cliff… yet they just orbit around each other… and every room feels weighted with something unknowable… even breathing the same air is an intimacy almost too sharp to bear… and when they DO touch? It’ll be so smooth it could be accidental and yet it is deliberate… a brush of fingers or a breaching of space… some Pride and Prejudice Proposal In The Rain shit… PERHAPS some leaning into but nothing will be fulfilled. And then when they DO kiss, which will happen but only in the latter half of s4… Will initiates… in a cinematic parallel to him leaning his head on Hannibal’s chest… completely knowing and aware in his clear act of affection… no drugs or injuries or illnesses to allow him escapism from his acts (unlike S1 or Florence) … just the sheer rawness of a tender kiss …
