      This is what young Chilton looks like:

      Found that pic while searching Raul Esparza green eyes. He looked like he stepped out of an Italian romantic painting.

      Dunno where that pic is from, as it's tagged Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Little Shop of Horrors, Tribeca Film Festival, and also Special Victim Unit and Olivia Benson even though she's not in the photo -- I guess Esparza is probably between late 20s or early 30s in that pic. He was 42 by the time he was in Hannibal but he still looked so MOE.

        He's such a good mix of beautiful and plum adorable. No wonder Hannibal wants to keep and pet him.

          The first time I watched the Hannibal series I actually didn't even notice Frederick was cute till he got snatched up by the Tooth Fairy, I mean he was usually barely around before something terrible happened to him, his first scene he appeared swarmy and his cute face was covered with an ugly beard and his clothes gave me a headache, he's got a patterned shirt with a different patterned tie AND a shiny tie pin! He looked much better naked, I'm so mad in retrospect that we didn't get that shower scene. Oh, tied up and terrified, Chillyfu was just delicious, if Hanni and Will had got to see him like that they would have snatched him up.

          My headcannon is that Hannibal likes Chilton beautiful, sketches him a lot, takes him out to operas to watch his face. Will likes Chilton cute, gets him flustered and tickles him. Both of them thinks he's yummy when terrified though. Taking Frederick on a boat trip with them to Europe really checks all the boxes. (because of the implication)

            Man, yes. Esparza in a lil sailor outfit on a yacht, then swimming trunks, 50s style... He's got the perfect build for 40s/50s fashion.

              While the actor for The Great Gatsby (1974) is good looking enough, Raul Esparza has the built to look better in the swimming trunks and stripped top, somehow I remembered it as swimming trunks with suspenders, but probably just a tank top: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimages6.fanpop.com%2Fimage%2Fphotos%2F35000000%2FGatsby-1974-the-great-gatsby-35064879-1275-709.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=e1e0f1e051bc57b79d01901c347e97fee593f4acab106c74ebe6b44c0924e625&ipo=images

              I think something a solid dark green would look better on him though, with suspenders.

              I think if Will was the one keeping Chilton as a pet, he'll just have Chilton wears his clothes and Chillyfu would look so smol in them, but Hannibal would totally treat Chilton like a fashion doll. On the surface, Will will just dress Frederick up in his clothes because he's a practical guy, but he also like how it makes Frederick smells more like him, he likes leaving his marks on Frederick. Hannibal loves beauty and control. Hannibal loves the control he has over Chilton's appearance, Chilton's reaction to being touched and being dressed, and Will's reaction to how Chilton looks (triangulation). Will won't put up with being dressed and manhandled the way Chilton would, but Hannibal gets Will to react through what he does to their shared toy. I get the feeling that Will ave a lot of dark desires he won't admit to, even the more normalized one like BDSM, but Hannibal gets him to react through Chillyfu, Will comes back home and Chilly is waiting for him on the couch, bound and gagged and looking terrified because of what Hanni has been whispering to him and this gets Will instant-/interested/.

          Found the offending outfit:
          https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fnclefdqp74z51.jpg

          So he's wearing a brown suit jacket he's paired with a colourful striped shirt AND patterned tie that clashes with each other AND he added a giant tie pin. I think the suit and tie could work if Chilton had paired it with a dark blue, but it would still feel like something one would wear to a board meeting at a car sales office and not dinner at Hannibal's house with only 2 people (not counting the dishes). The light blue dress shirt with the brown/yellow stripe does match the brown jacket and with no tie could look nice, but they are way too big on Frederick, the shoulder-pads are ridiculous...the shirt and tie also looks too big on him.

          It's really amazing how wardrobe managed to make me miss the fact that he's actually super cute and beautiful until he's been stripped.

          ETA: ...and here is a picture of Raul Esparza with his toenails painted cerulean blue and wearing an ankle bracelet:

          I can see young Chilton being like this after he had a few drinks before running into Hannibal at some hotel bar...

            Hannibal painted his toenails. 💜

              I think cerulean goes great with his skin tone but might clash with his green eyes...I love the ankle bracelet, why he gotta have such cute feet? Imagine him dancing around bare feet and with anklet with bells? I think when he was younger he totally could have played the sprite in The Tempest.

              I can see a running gag where every time Will leaves and come back, Hannibal has done something to their shared toy, sometimes it's obvious sometimes it's subtle, eyeshadow, new piercings, thigh-high socks with shorts and sailor shirt, bracelets and anklets that can lock together...

                He'd have been an awesome Ariel, deffers! Have u ever seen Colin Morgan's Ariel? Like that.

                I like the idea from ur other comment of Will coming home and Chillyfu's tied up, waiting for him...

                  I was thinking something extremely cute but also homoerotic, I heard Ben Whishaw (twink Q) was almost naked.

                  Hannibali love being able to get a rise out of Will through Chillyfu, I don't think Will has the patience for shibari but he can appreciate the results...how their pretty plaything looks all tied up and how grateful Chilton is that Will is finally here....
