Hannibal/Interview with the vampire parallel

Am I the only one to see a parallel between Hannibal/Will/Abigail and Lestat/Louis/Claudia?
100% intentional and also why Murder Family was doomed. If you read IWTV at the age Fuller and I did, your detailed and clear understanding of why that set of interpersonal dynamics is unhealthy and will eventually end with someone being set on fire is, like, baked into your soul.
As a really huge fan of the Vampire Chronicles, this was a parallel that I caught very quickly in Hannibal for my personal delight. Now, not only the dynamics of the murder families and how doomed they both are, but their personalities are similar as well and I’m sorry but I’ll probably ramble a bit bc I’m very passionate about VC and Hannibal parallels ~~
I see a lot of Lestat in Hannibal (or at least pre-Memnoch Lestat); Lestat delights in being ruthless in his killings, he sees the world as a savage garden and loves its sheer beauty and violence, he has a giant god complex - and especially, Lestat loves to defy rules and fuck shit up just to see what will happen next.
Now, Louis and Will also have a lot in common. Louis tried to cling to his humanity for a really, really long time, and tried to punish himself for enjoying the pleasure of killing so much; Louis also, eventually, accepted his own darkness [even if he doesn’t personally delight in his powers like Lestat does], he accepted how much he loves and needs Lestat and how much he was incapable of even imagining existence without him.
With Abigail and Claudia is slightly different. Claudia is a very tragic character - she was turned before she could be human, so she was a perfect monster from the start, incapable of understanding humanity. Abigail isn’t like this; while she enjoyed murdering, she was more often than not a tool in the hands of killers who didn’t really asked for her opinion, and that’s the main thing that connects Abigail and Claudia for me; neither of them had much of a choice in their destinies, and both of them were killed [directly or indirectly] by their fathers.
Oh man this is actually giant I’m sorry for writing so much but it’s very late and I have a lot of feelings about Hannibal. And about Vampire Chronicles and I may or not may have an entire AU of this thing on my head where I also placed Alana as Armand, Bedelia as David and Freddie as Daniel
