aww yeah it's question meme time
Time to bring back one of my old faves...
Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:
1. POST a top-level with your character name
2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character
3. ANSWER the question you were asked
4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!
We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!
QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.
Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

IS HE GONNA GET A GLADSTONE AND RAISE IT WITH THE CAT THO
no subject
He would like a dog!!! Obviously Mary would have to be okay with it and he would need more time to dedicate to animals but maybe in the future. He would be fine having a cat if they have a dog.
Okay serious question now. What is one item that Will really should throw away, but probably never will?
no subject
Gladstone and Sadstone tbh
Okay serious answer: Will is a very sad lonely guy. Here is a cap of part of his house, where you can see that even Hannibal is unable to deal with the levels of sadness. He has seven dogs, look at his shelf. Books, dog postcard?...dog figurine? Why is it there, who gave it to him, why did he buy it, why does the dog problem extend past having seven actual dogs in the house? Seven dogs all with dog beds like this man is maxed out on dogs and yet he keeps going on. But really, he's got a piano we never ever see him playing, it seems to be out of tune...why? Why is it there? Did he find it and think he could fix it, did the whole "can you tune a piano?" "no more than I can tuna fish" joke go too far, did he ever have any plans to do anything with it other than let it sit there and rot? Can't he just give it to someone who'd actually use it? Is it an attempt at shoving culture into this furry sweaty mess of a home, CAN HE EVEN PLAY CHOPSTICKS JUST DONATE IT TO A CHURCH OR SOMETHING THIS MYSTERY IS BAFFLING ME!!! Alternatively, throw out the shaving razor. It's not being used, that's as big a lie as the damn piano.
They'll stay there forever.
I know Sherlock plays the violin, does John play anything? If he does, is there a story behind it? If he could pick one instrument OUT OF ALL OF THEM to be a badass at (and if he already plays something/somethings, what other than it/them), which one would it be and why?
no subject
During a job interview, John said he used to play the clarinet at school. It's the only mention of him playing an instrument in canon and it hasn't been referenced since. There have been no clumsy renditions of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' at Christmas or musical duets with Sherlock, so be probably packed it in when he was younger. It was probably his extra curricular activity until he started playing rugby.
As for any instruments he could be a badass at playing, why not the violin? Sherlock would hate it and he'd find it hilarious.
In the Red Dragon film adaptation, Will Graham has a wife and son. Could Will meet someone and settle down with them and start a family? Is there anyone in the game that he fancies?
no subject
Tbh I'd love to see that, especially if fandom took it to the only logical place and made videos of them to this song. Accept no substitutes.
Yes, that would be Molly and Willy! I GREATLY HOPE they hope do appear if the show continues! From all the reading and interviews and whatnot, I've always seen that season 4 is meant to be the Red Dragon arc, and it'll tie into cases that appeared in season 1. I don't honestly recall now the story behind how Molly and Will met but it worked in the original books, it can work in the tv show. I know they met a year after his issue with Lecter in the original books, and since season 3 has been talked as being "a year later" WELL THEN. Molly's awesome, I require her. Like, let me get the book, actual conversation they have over the phone:
"Tell me about yourself."
"Well, I had a run-in with Mrs. Holper today. She wanted to return a dress with a huge big whiskey stain on the seat. I mean, obviously she had worn it to the Jaycee thing."
"And what did you say?"
"I told her I didn't sell it to her like that."
"And what did she say?"
"She said she never had any trouble returning dresses before, which was one reason she shopped at my place rather than some others that she knew about."
"And then what did you say?"
"Oh, I said I was upset because Will talks like a jackass on the phone."
I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED
And in game he's got a private (semi-private, really, she lives with other people, they're not stupid) thing with April Ludgate. He caught a shark and named it after her and everything. This is some hardcore weird wooing going on right here, sir. Catch a grenade? Nah. Just an army of sharks.
WHILE WE'RE ON THIS TOPIC! John's been around a while, hasn't he? Has there been anyone in game over his course that he's thought about romantically, ever, before or after his current canon point (if you had updated him and he was behind when you first apped him, etc., etc.)? Did anything happen/would it/has anything along those lines gone down?
no subject
I hope you're prepared for the entire Hannibal fandom to hate Molly. Female characters that interfere with ships generate a lot of hate. She sounds interesting though because honestly, who could put up with a man like Will Graham? April Ludgate apparently. Yes, I am interested in this character and I hope they introduce her next series.
Back in CNC, John arrived after Sherlock faked his death. He was in a difficult place emotionally, so he wasn't in top form. Series two portrayed him having multiple girlfriends in a short period of time and being a massive man slut. It took a while for him to recover in the City and he was interested in Kate Kane for a long time. Obviously, that never went anywhere and there were a few dates with nurses/receptionists that didn't last long either. He had an extremely short fling with Jennifer Walters (he took her to dinner and they slept together) and flirted with Karen Starr, but he was ported out before he could take her out on a date. I think they could have had a good run together.
If Will could go back in time to change one thing, what would it be and why?
no subject
I'm prepared to ignore/actively avoid fandom forever and always. Comic sans comics/graphics/cannibal puns or bust. Molly doesn't put up with any shit. It's been a while but I'm 99.9% sure she calls the law to come get the dogs when they get to be too much and—well, if you've seen Red Dragon, you know that she's the one who puts the final touches on the Tooth Fairy. She's got a vital role. AND SHE CAN CLOG DANCE???? Clog dance on some serial killers, Molly is the hero we need. And stuff would have to be very much changed without Willy, and you can't have Willy without Molly so. IT'S A REQUIREMENT AT THIS POINT GODDAMNIT
OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT KAREN STARR HAHA OH WOW the grapevine blog terror grows in leaps and bounds wow
Well like there's a bazillion answers to that and none of them are any good because none of them actually work. Because if he hadn't gone back into the field, the Shrike would've kept on doing his crazy shit and he'd never have met Abigail which...like, the problem isn't Will's involvement, it's all Hannibal Lecter. But without the introduction to him and all that, things could have happened a much different way. Like maybe he could have "caught" the Shrike without all the awful crap that happened, but maybe the same sort of thing would've happened or worse, who knows. Lecter's pulling all these strings behind the scenes to the point where it just doesn't matter what Will says or doesn't say or does or doesn't do sometimes because cannibal puppeteer is 15 steps ahead of the game and for reasons that Will doesn't even know. Like there's lots of things about him that, to the audience, are totally a given because he talks about them with other characters or does stuff that WE see but isn't visible, so separating what's "obvious" to the viewer and the rest of the characters can take a little time every now and then and only after that do a few things make more sense (as much sense as someone who has a sense of smell so strong he can detect stomach cancer before medical tests do levels of more sense do you feel me). He could have done a lot of things differently but as long as Lecter's lurking in the shadows, whatever gets done differently ends up twisted to still achieve a TOTALLY AWFUL OUTCOME, you know? You could go the super emo route of "IF ONLY I'D NEVER BEEN BOOOOORN" but then...............all those serial killers he helped put away over his career (and thus the extra lives saved by them being taken out of the frame) didn't meet the same ends and stuff so like that's a stupid line of thought.
Unfortunately Hannibal is older than him so he can't really go back in time and make sure that bastard never gets like he does. Not without legitimate time travel techniques. Nothing is worth changing because the outcomes as they are suck but if they changed it could have been worse. And changing his aftershave is legitimately out of the picture. No, what happened, happened and couldn't have happened any other way...unless it happened in a much worse way, so don't start thinking about it. The show is called Hannibal, Thomas Harris wrote out the books with him ending up victorious in baffling ways, like. No point in even thinking about what to change because lol Hannibal what an asshole the end.
How deep does John's medical oath run? For instance, if there was someone who required help to save their life and he was the only one around to give it but some HIGHER UP said that if he did anything at all, they wouldn't stop him, but his license would be stripped and he'd never so much as be able to buy cough syrup—would he do it anyway? And, in the hypothetical, it's not Sherlock or Mary or anyone, it's just some stranger and he's got no idea who they are, never met them. They still get Master Blogger's help or...WHAT'S THE MORAL COMPASS LIKE ON THAT ONE?
