I still don’t understand how Hannibal got that doctor to lie to Will about his encephalitis. Is he a psychopath too? I mean he is in the medical field. Why was he so willing to let Will suffer just because Hannibal asked. It’s so unethical.

As Bedelia says, “What [Hannibal] does is not coercion, it is persuasion.”

He had known Dr. Sutcliffe for years, so he would know what would persuade Dr. Sutcliffe, he who said, “The projected image is more interesting than the projector – until the projector breaks down.” 

Here Hannibal is, offering him the chance to study the projector breaking down. 

But he wasn’t a psychopath. We clearly see that he’s concerned about the implications of what he’s doing, he expresses them to Hannibal. “How far is this going to go? Put out the fire or let him burn?” 

This in part is what marks him for death, and soon. He cannot be trusted, because he might let his Hippocratic oath override his yearning to learn. So before he can give Will the results of those new tests, Hannibal kills him to eliminate the risk. 

In a sense, Bedelia was also right. It was his whimsy, his self congratulation at his own exquisite taste and cunning, that almost got him caught. He thought he could keep stringing Will along and take advantage of Dr. Sutcliffe’s desire to learn something unique, but in the end he couldn’t risk leaving Dr. Sutcliffe alive, and thus expanded the scope of the copycat killings enough that Will saw Hannibal’s pattern – and forced his hand to frame Will.

Bottle rocket under ice

rad 

I’m pretty sure that the reason the ice fractured into six slices is the same reason snowflakes are often six sided and it has to do with the shape of a molecule of water and I just think that’s so freaking cool.

How would it even stay lit though?

!!!!! it IS actually because of the structure of water molecules! Water molecules are fuckin weird, as are lots of other liquid substance molecules, because theyre shaped like fuckin HEXAGONS! hexagons are those weird, six-sided shapes that re very sturdy, but they dont tend to sit very well when stacked together. thats why, when you fill up a glass of water to its full capacity, it can go OVER the brim a little and not spill over. It’s also why water beads.

anyway, so since water is essentially made up of a gazillion little hexagons, it tends to gather into larger hexagons as it shapes together. this is not visible unless the water is in a solid form, aka ice. when the water is split, it tends to crack around the established hexagons. that bottle rocket exploded in the PERFECT place to show this phenomenon and its geeking me out.

ALSO! the bottle rocket stays lit because the fuse was definitely waterproof and made with magnesium and an oxidizer of some sort. this means that they will burn underwater because they dont need the oxygen from the air to stay lit. thats so fucking weird isnt it. im tipsy and its the 4th of july. sorry for the science haha

Don’t you dare apologize for science
