Are My Thoughts Even Coherent Idk - Blog Posts

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
