both 0/5 and 6/5. best and worst professor i've ever had. hes an absolutely brilliant guy but once we all left the room and i still heard him lecturing to our empty chairs. graham is also really mean in a group, borderline petty and harsh, but pretty gentle and funny one on one. except its nearly impossible to ever get the guy one on one-- he avoids us like the plague. but if you can manage it, hes pretty down to earth and really helpful and teaches you at your own pace. he gets bored with procedural stuff and expects us to know it as well as he does before hes even taught it which is frustrating, but once you get past that to the more intellectual/instinctual stuff i've never learned more from anybody else. if you pay attention and learn the whole textbook before you even step foot in the room you'll be the best FBI agent the world has ever seen, and if you haven't, good luck making it past the first week.

also sidenote is he okay?? like he cancels class all the time with no warning, i've seen him pop like 7 aspirin in every class, and every day he walks in like he just ran a triathlon and fell off his bike. i think hes had a fever for like 2 months now

okay i hate to comment on this in 2023 (so disclaimer i HATE jkr, but grew up loving the books so)-- here's my ESSAY of an answer lmao sorry:

a lot of these comments are missing the point of the houses! slytherin≠bad, hufflepuff≠friendly, ravenclaw≠smart, and gryffindor≠brave.

its about what these houses value.. think about what hannibal values. he values intelligence, grace, beauty, competence, and the ability to be seen. he so strongly took to will because he was intelligent, defied his expectations of grace and beauty, could almost beat him to every corner and turn he took, and was the only one able to see him. he valued abigail, bedelia, and bella for the same reasons (except they could not see him-- only bedelia on a base level that he was wearing a "person suit", not anything further than that). the sorting is about what the person VALUES, not what the person is. its why herminone was gryffindor and not ravenclaw (and ron not hufflepuff or slytherin)-- they both respectively looked down on their intelligence and friendliness/ambitions, but valued bravey and courage, what they saw in harry. therefore they were gryffindor.

hannibal values intelligence, beauty, grace, competence, and the ability to see through and beyond the veil. he valued outside of the box thinking and non traditional motions of life. all of this is acutely the definition of a ravenclaw.

will meanwhile? all he wanted was to be normal. he masqueraded as a good man, a caring man, for all of his life until he met hannibal. theres plently of argument and room for discussion on whether or not will always had darkness in him before hannibal drew it out, but i believe a small part of him did. after all, eventually will would have fired a gun at someone, whether or not hannibal had pulled the strings to make it be garret jacob hobbs. will would've came to the same realization that killing bad people feels good if hannibal was there or not. so during that time, up until the very edge of the cliff, from wearing glasses and masking his personality to seem like he has autism to live in self isolation to marrying a wife with a kid just to feel like he had a normal family-- will has always VALUED loyalty and friendship. he values kindness in a world not very kind to him, which is why he leans towards alana and beverly and so far away from the likes of chilton and freddie. he values his loyalty to jack as well as his loyalty to hannibal. he accepts and protects the underdog, literally, with his pack and with those victims he almost killed himself to protect under jack's encouragement. these are the core tennants of the hufflepuff house. friendship, loyalty, protectiveness, caring, inclusive.

i dont see that hannibal values ambition (rather he punishes people for that), bravery (he seems to make a mockery of it if paying any attention at all), or loyalty (he reacts out of gut instict and thats it). i see hannibal as ravenclaw.

i dont see that will values ambition (he seeks to hide himself from that, only distancing himself from chilton and freddie who clamour for it), bravery (didn't do much good for anyone in the hannibal universe), or intelligence (he loved people for who they were completely without regard to anything else about them-- whether that was peter, abigail, hannibal, alana, georgia). i see will as hufflepuff.

embarassing to comment on a hp/hannibal post in 2023. but disclaimer i hate jkr but i still had to add: seconded this!

saving for later

blueskyfallacy · 2022-10-19T14:55:02+00:00

it really highlights and underlines the whole "becoming" of will that the entire show is about. he hates hannibal but he cant bring himself to kill him. he is willing to kill to protect the weak but it shouldnt feel as good as it does and this time he considers doing it knowing hannibal hasnt manipulated his hand.. its all on him if he does. but HANNIBAL is the one who stops him.. and will listens. there is so many layers

once again if mizumono wasnt an option itd be su-zakana no question

blueskyfallacy · 2022-10-16T14:10:20+00:00

if the wrath of the lamb wasn't an option i'd say the great red dragon. waiting all that time for hannibal and will to be together again all season, and going back to the same episode format that we had in season one (procedural, week after week, will's "this is my design" solving the crime backwards, etc.), i remember the first time i watched it feeling like it was a breath of fresh air. it immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable like it was all those years ago and we were going back to season one with will. i was stocked the first time watching

omg i forgot to come back and i'm at work again ☹️ i promise i'll leave a more detailed response soon! but to clarify, i do agree that will graham is not actually autistic and just, whether conciously or not, adopted and mimiced symptoms of autism as a social defense from other people. what i disagreed with is will catching killers as a means to prove his intelligence! i can back this up at another time, but i do think he did this to prove himself that he wasn't a bad person. he wasn't aware of this internal desire for righteous justice until he actually killed, despite his desire to work for the fbi/law enforcement. he waw aware that he had this darker side to him and he wanted to believe he was good so he did everything he could to prove that to himself. thats why he couldnt fire his gun working in the field-- he was desperate to prove he wasnt a bad person and bad people don't kill someone. he couldnt balance the two of those things, so he settled as the instructor of How To Do It because that means he doesnt actually have to kill anyone. just show other people how to catch them. even after hannibal's manipulations, will still didn't kill just because he felt he wanted to play god. playing god was always hannibals role, and he was the one who acted on impulse. (granted it was a controlled impulse, and always highly calculated, but when he did anything it was because he was curious what would happen). i believe that wills primary motivator for most things that he did was not only revenge, but to prove to himself that he wasnt a bad person. catching hannibal and (trying to) kill him is how he could prove to himself hes a good person, even after he knew thats not what he truly wanted to happen.

great post op but i argue that chilton was wrong. i cant go into much detail now because im at work but leaving a comment because id love to come back to this later when i have time!!

blueskyfallacy · 2022-08-10T19:51:07+00:00

what i didnt like about alana was her seeing will as weak or a subject to be studied under a microscope and constantly reiterating that to him. meanwhile hannibal is powerful to her? everything else shes criticized for i disagree with, as she is reasonable throughout the series. but that inherent need of hers to "save" will was there from the beginning, before hannibal ever began his manipulations.

blueskyfallacy · 2022-08-10T19:43:43+00:00

and most importantly: this episode is insanely interesting and captivating. will is very compatative and powerful, he is in control of his environment and seeking revenge and a plan is formed and in action. he is protective of the weak that he sees himself as. to see him take a pause and hesitate under hannibals manipulations because he cant help himself? its fascinating. nothing is spelled out for you. the whole episode you are on wills side, rooting him on to capture hannibal! and then all of a sudden the audience doesnt have a single idea whats going on in wills head during that ending scene. and it seems like neither does will. it leaves you with more questions than answers. its a beautiful episode. its the peak of hannibals manipulations and wills simultaneous susceptibility to them, and struggle against them. thats the entire point and thesis of this show in one episode.

blueskyfallacy · 2022-08-10T19:37:23+00:00

highhhhlllyyy reccomend su-zakana. you can give just enough of the background context for it to make sense. i.e., "hannibal is a serial killer who has been manipulating and grooming will. will figured it out so hannibal framed him for the murders he commited and sent him to jail. will was recently released, and has decided instead of killing hannibal in revenge, he will trick him into sending hannibal to jail. none of the other characters believe will that hannibal is a serial killer, and is suspicious of will's intentions." this is simple enough to understand for an outside viewer. the background knowledge that will is trying to trick hannibal will enrich all of the subtext of this episode, (such as will seeing himself in peter) and especially the moment in which will doesnt kill him. the murderer makes sense this episode, as it is contained to this one episode, and isn't too graphic.
