#Dolarhyde honestly is such a greatly written character and I just don't like how they kind of glazed him over in the show

[headroom-moods]

ok so I've seen quite a handful of nbc hannibal fans say that the og red dragon book is not that interesting just because there's not enough "dialogue" or content between hannibal and will and this shit fucking INFURIATES me like no other. As much as I am a HUGE hannigram enthusiast, I still think that these kinds of comments are fucking insane honestly, (especially coming from fannibals!) because it's originally written as a crime/procedural novel and NOT as an in-depth analysis novel about Hannibal and Will's dynamic (as goes for the rest of the Thomas Harris novels).

Though there are still underlying "hannigram" implications in the book just from their dialogues together, it really just only shows how much more depth can be gotten out from their relationship, which is clearly grown to its fullest potential in the nbc series. But it still doesn't guarantee that the source content would be exactly parallel to what was inspired by it, and if you didn't like the book just because of the “lack” of hannigram content then I suggest you to go read fanfics instead because the original Red Dragon book is of more worth than your fandom mindset or whatever LMFAO.

Obviously it is not gonna be like the series because just to be frank, the show is just basically fanfic made canon (in the absolute best way possible) LMAO and it is basically written out as a hybrid version of their original Red Dragon dynamic and Clarice and Hannibal's relationship in TSOTL and Hannibal (the book). But saying that the original source material is dull or bland just because you watched the series first just means that you didn't completely understand how the show came to be and the complexity with hannibal and will's relationship.

So to all the nbc hannibal fans out there who are planning to read the red dragon book and the Thomas Harris novels, don't expect their relationship in it to be exactly explicit just like how the show portrays and just because it isn't, doesn't mean that the book is "uninteresting" or "dull". It just means that you're a rigid reader and you didn't get the entire point of the novel and the basic foundation to the series you know and love. Thank you for listening.

#once again I am gonna protect the Thomas Harris novels with all my mind body and soul. #red dragon is way too under appreciated methinks #and to all the Dolarhyde girliepops #yall are gonna have an absolute field day reading the book LMAO #there's a whole ass chapter dedicated to his background which I absolutely fucking LOVE #Dolarhyde honestly is such a greatly written character and I just don't like how they kind of glazed him over in the show #Like they LITERALLY made him such an overpowered character/villain #with barely any of the pathetic traits that made him so much more interesting in the book. #anyways that's all for my rant #hannibal #nbc hannibal #hannibal brainrot ong #a hannibal rant that has been penting up inside of me like an untethered rage ever since PFFTT
