For oc posting I'm gonna use the tag bloodbag blog because I think it sounds like a silly little name for their duo ^_^ I think I'm gonna name the blogger guy finn/finnley, but I'm still unsure on names for the other.. if anyone has any like. Vampire-y sounding names pls tell me I'm so bad with naming characters

I'm trying to find more horror fans or people like me to interact with, I don't talk to many people and I'd like to change that tbh. It would be nice to meet more people but I don't really know how to go about it..

Intro post

Haii I'm Will, I'm 19 so please be 17+ if you're gonna interact with me, and I'm a big horror fan. I'm really interested in film studies and horror in general. I'm hoping to find more people to talk to

Some examples of things that I'm currently into

Hannibal

Texas chainsaw

Psycho

Scream

Halloween

Saw

American psycho

Silence of the lambs

Little shop of horrors

IT

Dead by daylight

I'm trying to hopefully find more moots and friends, I'm not very social but yeah 😭

Basic dni criteria

no thoughts behind my eyes just moments in s1 where Will let's himself get close to Hannibal on his own but immediately backs off the moment Hannibal looks at him

kinda random rambling

I like that he didn't immediately back off after Hannibal offered another theory, instead backing off after looking at him. It's like he saw understanding in that moment and got confirmation of it by looking at him, like they saw eachother for a moment; you kinda think like me.

There's this want to find yourself in another person, wanting understanding/someone to relate to—but it's also scary seeing that part of yourself in another person when it already scares you just seeing it in yourself. For the same reason you don't want people getting too close to you, you now don't wanna get too close to them.

They say that eyes are gateways into the soul, that looking into the eyes of another will let you see what they're really thinking. By actually making that eye contact, it's like you're offering them inside your head. Throughout the show "getting too close" referred to losing himself in someone else's head, being stuck seeing through their eyes—if looking into another person's eyes meant getting in their head and them getting in yours and you both shared similar thoughts, would you ever be able to know for certain that you got out?

I'm so bad at explaining my thoughts it makes more sense in my head so I hope it's at least. Slightly understandable

Also this scene in fromage where Will attempts to check Hannibal's injuries but immediately looks away upon Hannibal looking back at him. I like that he doesn't look directly at him whilst expressing his guilt, saying he feels as if he's dragged Hannibal into his world, almost like he doesn't want him to see any more—he's already been far enough in. He doesn't want him to get too close.

I'm probably looking too into it but . we love overanalyzing

Will "I hate eye contact" graham staring into Hannibals soul

"Hannibal wanted to eat Will's brain to forgive him", "Hannibal wanted to eat Will's brain for power", "It was out of love"

Okay, but.. can we talk about the implications of doing such a thing? And I'm not referring to the finality of the decision; the death it would cause—I mean the risks for Hannibal. I don't mean the effects that the loss of Will may have on him, but the physical risks of consuming the human brain. While no, it's not guaranteed that anything would happen, it does make me wonder.. would Hannibal have been okay with it if anything had happened to him? If he were to become ill because of Will's brain, would he accept that? There's at least some acceptance in the risk given Hannibal was a surgeon and is likely aware of such a thing, some willingness to go through with it without care in the aftermath—Will's brain overriding any possible concern.. But what if that was the endgoal in the first place—to go with him, from the same thing. To kill Will, and then follow after. Kind of like some twisted final declaration of love, endless devotion. I feel similarly to the final episode when Will throws them both over the edge.

"Can't live with him, can't live without him"

Birds in psycho 1960

I love the usage of birds in alfred hitchcocks psycho so much, although I'm not 100% on the intended meanings I wanted to talk about my own interpretations.

Phoenix:

Phoenixs tend to depict things revolving the theme of life after death. The movie taking place in Phoenix at the beginning feels like it represents the start of Marion's new life; foreshadowing her journey to fairvale in attempt of having a life with Sam, paying off the debts and marrying him.

It could also relate to how Marion will continue to affect the story past her death (eg. Lila and marys actions in psycho 2)

Life after death/resurrection could also attribute to Norman's mother.

Crane:

Cranes are used to represent wealth and fortune, which fits how Marion stole the 40,000.

I also like that although Marion used a fake name while checking into the Bates motel, after having that conversation with Norman she has a change of heart and wants to return to Phoenix and fix her actions. In that same conversation Norman talks about his hobby as a taxidermist, stuffing birds. She then goes on to give him her real name, Crane , like the bird; referencing her upcoming death.

Taxidermy:

Norman's hobby of stuffing birds may be utilized to make him come across as eerie or creepy, but a lot of his wording interests me.

When he tells Marion that she eats like a bird (associating her with birds, I also agree with the theories that the birds represent women) he moves on to mention how he doesn't actually know much about birds. But ironically, refers to them as passive and also associates his mother with them—claims she's no more of a threat than those stuffed birds.. but the birds on display aren't exactly peaceful and unthreatening. The owl by where Norman sat is a predatory animal, a hunter. And the crow across from him represents death. Neither of the birds on display are not dangerous.

(Also noting that the crow is by Marion, foreshadowing her upcoming death maybe) His failure to recognize and understand these birds could reference his state of denial when it comes to how his mother treated him growing up. (And also his strict relationship with her where he was to not be with other girls, almost being like a cage—a bird cage)

Another thing, in stuffing birds (also in making the connection of his mother to them), could be referencing how he tried to preserve her body as best he could for the longest time.

Idk these are just some of my thoughts, maybe I'm reaching or maybe others find these things obvious. Either way I think it's interesting, sorry if my wording was bad 😭
