I think Hannibal is a really good show, and I found it very intriguing. But I've always felt very ambivalent about Will and Hannibal's relationship. It works for me as far the show goes, but I could never become fannish about it, because I just don't see how it can go anywhere.

I think my brain does not interpret fundamentally toxic relationships as the presence of something, but as the absence of something. There's just no "there" there, in my mind. No path, no mode of progression.

For me, I think in order for a ship to "work," there has to be a way forwards towards something good. Otherwise, there's nothing there for me to hang onto with it. I don't know what I could hope for, for Will and Hannibal. There is nothing to hope for, for them.

Some people absolutely dig that doomed-love aspect and can work with it, but like you: I need something better to build or work towards to be interested or want to explore a ship. Unhealthy messes can be intriguing to watch, but not mull over beyond that for me.

So yeah for me as well: in the show it worked, but after the fact there wasn't anything else I wanted to think about because their relationship can only get worse, not better, and that isn't something that pulls at me.
