Hannibal Is the Most Romantic Show Ever Made (Fight Me)🫀

🖤 If Oscar Wilde and Mary Shelley wrote a BL series together, it would be Hannibal.
In this video, I dive fangirl-first into the gothic, homoerotic, bloody brilliance of NBC’s Hannibal — a series that is equal parts horror, romance, and murder husbands fanfic come to life. From Frankenstein vibes to romcom edits, we’re unpacking aesthetics, queer themes, and all the delicious tension between Hannibal and Will. It is also the perfect Summerween pick.

🩸 Topics covered in this video:

Gothic horror, queerness, and literary roots in Hannibal

How Hannibal functions as a neo-gothic romcom

Why Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter are the perfect murder husbands

Aesthetic symbolism, monsters, and trauma parallels

Romcom tropes (yes, breakfast scenes and meet-cutes)

Summerween pick! Why Hannibal is my go-to spooky-but-sexy seasonal rewatch

Fandom love: fanfics, TikToks, iconic edits & ship names

My personal take on why this show still haunts us—in the best way

🎯 This video is for you if:

You’re a Hannibal fan, ship Hannigram, or just curious about the hype

You’re obsessed with gothic horror, queer-coded media, or psychological tension
