Re: Which F!S users would you take with you on a camping trip?
On one hand, I do get the appeal of AU fic. Maybe not for every piece of media (for instance, I'm not going to be reading Mass Effect or Dragon Age AU's), but I do understand why people read it; I do too, sometimes.
But why you would want to take something as complex and fucked up as Hannibal and turn it into a high-school AU or set it in a coffee shop is completely lost on me. COMPLETELY. And the massive amounts of OOC fic hurt so bad. Will is not some delicate flower waiting for Hannibal to ravage him, but he's not a complete and total nutter either, who's going to cut people into little pieces just for fun. Finding a balance is important, and it seems like most people can't.
Alana, yes! She was so compelling in S3; I liked her before, but ngl, those suits and her new attitude were working for me. Everyone is so well dressed in this show. Bedelia's last dress? Jesus.
You're welcome!
Re: Which F!S users would you take with you on a camping trip?
The show is so centred around the characters and their motivations that I think they lose something when you try to make them more normal.
Lol. Delicate flower Will. The only thing fragile about Will is his sanity. I think the fandom forgets he was a cop. Do they just close their eyes when he goes cop mode?
Everything on this show is so pretty. I love the outfits and the hair and the sets. *grabby hands*

At least that would make things more interesting.

That's how I feel, too. I don't really see the point of AU's in this sense because what makes the show and relationships work is the specific set-up and dynamic. It isn't something that could be easily replicated in an AU, and if you wanted something similar...why not just go with canon?

It's so weird, fandom clearly doesn't forget that he's capable of murder, but they seem to forget a lot of other things. (Like how much Will fought against Hannibal even while being drawn to him, and that he's an outdoors man and that he used to be a cop, and cops aren't wilting flowers. He might be a mess at times in S1 because of the horror he has to witness, but he's also sick and unstable, and that kind of thing wouldn't be easy for most ANYONE to look at. By S2 he's manipulative and at times, cold as fuck. (I don't know what else you'd expect from a guy who can empathize with serial killers.)
