Destiel being canon for 5 minutes before one of them gets sent to super mega gay hell reminds me of the time a couple fantrolls became canon for 1 panel and then were immediately incinerated in holy fire.
I love it when people try to piece together nuanced character analyses of Hannibal Lecter because they’re trying to psychoanalyse a live-action cartoon character. His motivation is tormenting whoever most recently annoyed him. His personality is a delivery mechanism for ironic quips. The shit he gets away with is explicable only in terms of pure cartoon logic. He’s basically an edgy version of Bugs Bunny.
