learning the history behind the real hannibal lecter is like, actually really sad? i'm crying over a serial killer podcast rn??? society totally failed him and even when he finally got psychiatric treatment and made steps his goddamn media portrayal seemed to cost his freedom?!
TW:
he was killing pedophiles btw bc he had schizoaffective disorder after years of s*xual abuse from his father (was literally locked in a room for 6 months and abused regularly) and people he thought he could trust, and like honestly i understand his rage?!

can we also talk about the fact he actively tried to get help for his mental health problems when they first started appearing, he had voices in his head telling him to do all kinds of violent shit and everyone was like 
TW:
and then when he thought he finally found a good relationship, after having some struggles and being a s*x worker for a period, the guy he THOUGHT he could finally TRUST, showed him some pictures as a 'suprise' okay--- and you know already know what the pictures were of

this man--- this man told him he wanted him to REPLICATE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE PICTURES to HIM! and this violently throws poor lecter into a fit of PTSD because WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
TW:
so he fucking KILLED the guy! and then, you know what he did?!?!? HE CALLED AND REPORTED HIMSELF TO THE POLICE FOR KILLING THIS P*DOPHILE, and he actively wanted jail time for it too!!!

he honestly thought jail would be the one place he would be taken care of because- lemme back this up a sec- he was raised in an ABUSIVE household AFTER being removed by social services TWICE and then ended up in foster care and eventually went into s*x work

and this is where everyone got the 'Hannibal the Cannibal' and 'Hannibal Lecter' tropes from- which ended up being one of the biggest contributors to his ultimate mental decline and isolation
- they used sharpened spoons to t*rture the other patient and..stuck one in his ear

and part of the deceased patient's brain was missing
-- presumed BY THE GUARDS, to have been eaten by Lecter- hence where all of the movie and media BS comes in about him being a cannibal- but he never ate anybody

anyway--he ends up killing 2 more men while in prison because he is still suffering from voices and his presumed ptsd and schizoaffective disorder, meanwhile he's just been PLEADING for ANY kind of mental assistance or psychiatric treatment but NO ONE is willing to help

because the MEDIA made him out to be this crazed cannibal
and everyone was TERRIFIED of him when all of his actions were cries for attention after being failed repeatedly when attempting to get treatment for what he KNEW was inappropriate thinking and...ultimate behavior
and everyone was TERRIFIED of him when all of his actions were cries for attention after being failed repeatedly when attempting to get treatment for what he KNEW was inappropriate thinking and...ultimate behavior
all he wanted was someone to help him and when he FINALLY found a loyal psychiatrist who worked through SO MUCH with him and was able to basically help reduce the voices and urges he had, he was able to get out into a less severe prison!! out of solitary!!
and here's why I'm mad-- he was in a glass cage in the previous prison, that was his solitary so that the guards could view him at all times, kind of like the movie but bulletproof glass windows on all sides and a slot for food. not good for someone asking for mental help
then he finally trusted that one psychiatrist to make some amazing breakthroughs, was able to be transferred into a regular prison- albeit he still had a bad reputation- but like, was trying to do better
AND WITHOUT REASON, HE WAS TRANSFERRED BACK INTO THE GLASS CAGE-- presumably because everyone was scared he was going to do something as he had the reputation CANNIBAL which was
he dropped off with his psychiatrist who tried so hard to reach back out to him stopped shaving and getting haircuts and his mental and physical health are declining as well

close sources say the only reason he's hanging in there is to be the world record holder for.... the longest in solitary confinement and i'm upset because he tried SO MANY TIMES to get treatment, help, attention to his mental state and the REPUTATION ruined his chances
