when I was very very into Hannibal, I remember thinking that this desire was so dumb but I just wanted a fic where like….au time…..Hannibal really is just a psych trying his best to help Will. He can’t communicate like a normal person and says a lot of ominous shit, but he’s good at cooking the usual meats and probably oversteps his professional bounds but in like. a helpful friendly normal way. He’s never tasted human flesh and he’s happy to tell you that.
Will: I mean, I believe you, but you must understand that it’s uncomfortable that you keep specifically denying it.
Hannibal, cooking a wholesome meal with actual chicken and, he assured everyone, zero human: my name rhymes with cannibal, Will. I do not judge people for their concerns.
I was recently rewatching some Hannibal clips and may I just say that this show is Fucking Hilarious And An Peerless Work Of Art And Comedy if Hannibal is in fact just a humble non-murderous supportive psychiatrist doing his best
