i think dumbledore was growing weed in the forbidden forest the whole time and that’s why it was forbidden. that’s also why he acts the way he does.

Beloved Daughters of Cain around the world, coming soon to a record store near you…. At very long last, the tale of Ethel Cain will be told on vinyl. It’s been a long journey to get here, so I’m beyond excited for you to all hold it for yourselves. Thank you again to Matthew Tomasi for helping me bring this record to life, Marlee Kula for carrying it with me since, and everyone else on Team Cain for making this possible. Love you all endlessly, I’ll never stop being proud of us and this project.

Apulian Red-figure skyphos depicting the myth of Actaeon, ca 400 - 350 BC
In which Will and Hannibal have a brief conversation about divine law and expectations.
“Are you familiar with the story of Actaeon, Will?”
A digression. Another digression. He’s used to these by now.
“I can tell you want to tell me whether I have or not.”
A tilt of the head, a not-quite smile. Hannibal is, in most things, the elegance of restraint.
“I do not mean to bore you with my recounting.”
“Tell me.”
“Actaeon is a great hunter. He stumbles upon the goddess Diana bathing in the woods.”
“And I assume a swift overreaction followed.”
“The punishment of gods can never be said to be an over, or indeed under, reaction. Divine law is always a matter of poetic justice.”
“What does she do to him?”
“His punishment for this transgression is to be transformed into a stag. Only to be torn apart by his own dogs, who no longer recognize him for who he was.”
He laughs. He can’t help it. This is on the nose, even for Hannibal.
Hannibal doesn’t even blink, watching him.
“Is that supposed to be some kind of warning?”
“Do you see a warning in it?”
“A hunter torn apart by his own dogs? Yeah, it’s hard not to.”
“You place yourself in the role of the transgressor, not the transgressed.” He notes mildly “Do you ever find yourself worrying that one day your fellow investigators might mistake you for quarry?”
Does he? Of course he does. Every day. Every time he steps onto another crime scene. Hannibal knows that.
“As long as there aren’t any skinny-dipping goddesses around, I think I should be fine.”
“Do you believe that Actaeon knew what he would find?” Hannibal asks, “Perhaps he did not expect to see her any more than you might.”
“It doesn’t matter, does it? He was a hunter. Whatever he expected, the end result was always going to be the same, whether he saw a goddess or not.”
“What result?” Hannibal tilts his head again, a clock-work mimic of interest.
“Spilled blood and baying hounds.”
"Are you sure you can't stay?"
"I don't think I would be good company."
"I disagree."
We are not appreciating enough the simplicity and genuineness of this dialogue. Who has made Will feel like he is not good company? His reason for not staying is not "I'm busy" or "I'm not into this kind of things", he says he is not good company. His response is very empathetic if you think about it because he is thinking about how he is perceived by Hannibal and the others.
We couldn't see the whole conversation unfortunately but Hannibal's question implies that he is asking Will to stay for a second time. He had probably asked him earlier, Will had refused without giving a reason but later he brings the bottle of wine to make up for not staying and Hannibal insists that he should stay. And for someone who doesn't have friends and is not invited to stuff, I think it meant the world to Will that Hannibal really meant it. Hannibal really wanted him there. And Hannibal disagrees with him but not out of politeness, he is super genuine. To him, Will is good company. Anyway I will go cry now.
when we were kids, we would play just like this and our moms would call us in for dinner. but no one calls us anymore...
