The Best Serial Killer Shows to Watch After Dexter: New Blood

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Dexter: New Blood likely represents the end of TV’s favorite serial killer: Dexter Morgan. Though the franchise may carry on with some sort of “Son of Dexter” setup, star and executive producer Michael C. Hall seems more than happy to hang up his Dark Passenger for good.

Through eight seasons and one limited series, Dexter was the cream of the crop when it came to serial killing storytelling on TV. That’s probably because shows that inhabit the mind of serial killers are quite rare for understandable reasons. It’s dark in there. Dexter “got away” with it because his code required the killing of fellow killers.

Still, TV is a big medium and the public’s appetite for bloody crime dramas is just as vast. As such, there are several other shows out there that might help itch that lingering Dexter scratch. Not all of them adopt the perspective of a serial killer but they all do delve as deep into the psyche of these monsters as they dare.

Here are some other shows that fans of Dexter might want to check out.

Mindhunter

Watch on: Netflix (US and UK)

Mindhunter is a perfect complement to Dexter in that it’s kind of the anti-Dexter. While Dexter Morgan attributes his need to kill to an amorphous “Dark Passenger” rooting around in his head, the FBI professionals of Mindhunter decide to apply some actual science to serial killer psychology. Partially based on the 1995 true crime book of the same name, this Netflix series from David Fincher follows the founding of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit in the late 1970s. Lead characters Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), and Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) study real life mass killers to better understand how to stop more. Mindhunter appears to be done after only two seasons so check it out now and then immediately join the masses demanding more. – Alec Bojalad

You

Watch on: Netflix (US and UK)

Of all the shows currently gracing television, You is probably the closest to capturing that early season Dexter magic. This series, which first started on Lifetime before moving to Netflix, takes viewers directly into the twisted mind of Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley). Joe is darkly romantically obsessed with…well, you. You might be a broke NYU student who hangs out at a local bookshop, a health guru in Los Angeles, or simply the nice girl next door. Just like Dexter Morgan, Joe invites viewers in to hear his internal monolog as he blazes a bloody path to love. – AB

Marcella

Watch on: Britbox, ITV Hub (UK); Netflix (UK & US)

UK crime dramas generally fit into one of two categories: cosy murder series (Endeavour, Strike, Jonathan Creek…) more about puzzle-solving than staring into the heart of darkness; and true-crime dramatisations aiming for depth and balance in their depictions of real-life tragedy (Little Boy Blue, The Moorside, White House Farm…). Marcella ain’t either one. It’s a balls-to-the-wall pulp crime thriller about crazy serial killers and elaborate revenge plots and fugue states. It stands to reason then, that Dexter fans might go for a slice of its crazy pie. Anna Friel leads the cast as Marcella Backland, a police detective investigating a series of killings that she may well have committed herself during one of her regular black outs. Things just get crazier from there, until the season three finale, by which time the show has evolved into something entirely different. Don’t go in expecting realism and you’ll likely enjoy the ride. – Louisa Mellor

Bates Motel

Watch on: Peacock (US), IMDb TV (US), Sky Go (For purchase in the UK)

Bates Motel is a helpful reminder that pop culture has been fascinated by killers since well before Dexter Morgan. As you might have guessed by its name, this A&E series is a contemporary prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller Psycho. Set in the modern day, Bates Motel follows mother and son duo Norman (Freddie Highmore) and Norma (Vera Farmiga) Bates as they try to operate their titular motel…and occasionally kill their guests. Bates Motel is notable for getting better throughout its five-season run, culminating in what is essentially a modern remake of Psycho that is better than it has any right to be. – AB

Des

Watch on: ITV Hub, Britbox (UK); AMC+ (US)

Dexter fans won’t get gore or kill room splatter from this gripping three-parter, but they will get a square look into an aberrant psychology. David Tennant plays real-life murderer Dennis Nilsen, a prolific killer arrested in London in 1983 and imprisoned for the murders of 12 men and boys. It’s brilliantly cast and led by a compelling performance from Tennant, who’s so convincing as the manipulative killer that it erases any trace of his much friendlier Doctor Who and Good Omens fan-favourite roles. Jason Watkins and Daniel Mays are also great respectively as Nilsen’s official biographer and the police detective leading the investigation. The drama’s as much an examination of the prejudiced system that failed to detect Nilsen’s crimes as it is about the actual murders. It achieves a fine balance that avoids sensationalism or prurience while confronting complex truths about how monstrous behaviour can hide behind the most harmless facades. – LM

Hannibal

Watch on: Hulu (US), and Prime Video (For purchase in the UK)

If seeing gallons upon gallons of blood was your favorite part of Dexter…maybe get a professional opinion on why exactly that is. After that’s taken care of, plop down in front of the television to check out Hannibal, one of the goriest TV shows ever created. Running on NBC (yes, on network television) for three seasons, Hannibal borrows characters from Thomas Harris’s Hannibal Lecter novels and puts them to excellent use. Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) is a criminal profiler who tracks serial killers. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) is a brilliant forensic psychiatrist, gourmet chef, and unbeknownst to all: a serial killer, himself. The relationship between these two men forms the backbone of these fandom-friendly series. And speaking of backbone, you’ll see plenty in the grim tableaus of human bodies Hannibal leaves behind. – AB

The Fall

Watch on: Netflix (UK); Prime Video (US)

Move over the Bay Harbor Butcher, it’s the turn of the Belfast Strangler. Like Dexter, The Fall explores how a serial killer can lead a double life in mainstream society, though unlike Dexter, murderer Paul Spector isn’t doling out vigilante justice, just satisfying his own perverse urges. The Tourist’s Jamie Dornan plays Spector, a married father of two and bereavement counsellor with a side line in stalking and strangling women. The true lead in this Northern Irish thriller is Gillian Anderson as Superintendent Stella Gibson, the detective brought in from England to hunt the killer. Her cat-and-mouse dynamic with Spector is the real engine of this three-season drama from writer Allan Cubitt. – LM

Manhunt

Watch on: Britbox, ITV Hub (UK); Acorn (US)

A more sober choice here for those with an interest in Dexter’s procedural side. Martin Clunes impresses as the lead in this true crime dramatisation of the hunt for British serial killer Levi Bellfield. Clunes played DCI Colin Sutton, the police detective who led the investigation into Bellfield following the 2004 murder of French student Amélie Delagrange. Sutton and his team’s dogged pursuit led to Bellfield’s arrest and eventual conviction for the attempted murder and murder of three women and one girl. Like many of the above, this isn’t a sensationalised take on serial killers, but a well-balanced dramatisation of a true crime investigation. Inspired by Sutton’s memoir, this isn’t Bellfield’s story, but that of the people who tracked him down and took him off the streets. A second series, subtitled ‘The Night Stalker’ was released in 2021, this time focusing on the pursuit of serial rapist Delroy Grant. – LM

The Serpent

Watch on: BBC iPlayer (UK), Netflix (UK & US)

If sociopathy is your TV itch, then this drama following the hunt for real life 1970s serial killer Charles Sobhraj may well scratch it. Based on a true story with real victims, The Serpent is obviously not as lurid or straightforwardly entertaining as Dexter – nor should it be – but the portrait it paints of a conscienceless narcissist is ultimately fascinating. This is a slow-burn series that rewards patience as it jumps around between countries and years, following Sobhraj as he robs and murders backpackers along South-Asia’s so-called ‘Hippie Trail’. Stylishly made with careful period detail, the story follows a Dutch diplomat’s lengthy investigation into Sobhraj’s crimes. A Prophet’s Tahar Rahim plays Sobhraj, with Doctor Who’s Jenna Coleman playing his conflicted partner. Written by Ripper Street’s Richard Warlow, the drama examines how a serial killer can go undetected for so long. – LM

Prodigal Son

Watch on: HBO Max (US), Sky Go (For purchase in UK), and Now TV (For purchase in UK)

Before Dexter Morgan welcomed his son into his dark confidence in New Blood, another recent TV series examined what it would be like to be the son of a prolific serial killer. Fox crime thriller Prodigal Son lasted for only two seasons but it made plenty of fans in that short time. The Walking Dead’s Tom Payne stars as Malcolm Bright, a former FBI profiler who now works for the NYPD and who just happens to have a father who killed 23 people. When a copycat killer emerges using Malcolm’s father Martin Whitly’s (Martin Sheen) M.O. Malcolm must get back in touch with his old man to seek advice – Silence of the Lambs style. – AB

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

The next Wild Hunt commences.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Phew, let's try this again shall we? I've received great many responses which positively surprised me :) I've managed to find some partners, but most of the people who contacted me, just sent me a friend request on Discord without even writing me a message. This gives me nothing to work with. Please, I implore you, if you want to start a RP partnership with me, write me a detailed email first! Describe yourself, your ideas and preferences. I want to get to know you before we move to another platform to chat OOC, alright?

And for the future, do NOT ghost me! Thank you :) I’ll keep it short and sweet for my introduction. I am Fenry, but you may address me as Fen. Obviously this is not my real name but I would like to keep a pseudonym as my identity until I get to know my partner better.   

I am 25 years and that means adult themes and topics will be included

Female

Over 10 years of roleplaying experience

Masters graduate

I live in CET, Europe

Prefers doubling, though I can make exceptions

We can exchange more information once I’ve received your message. I love talking outside of the Roleplay for some brainstorming and plotting for the story. Plus, making new friends never hurts.

Now to the actual topic what I am looking for in a partner.

Please read before you message me!

Thank you.  

My roleplaying partner must be above the age of 18, preferably 20+.  I don’t care which gender honestly, as long as the Roleplay and friendship is good I am all for it. Contact me with a small introduction. Tell me about yourself, what you’re ideas are, how long you’ve been writing and your limits. I want to know more about you, assess your character before we move to anything else. It would otherwise come off as impersonal.   

The qualities I prefer in an RP buddy are:  

Mature

Dedicated

Detailed

Literate

Frequent (which doesn’t mean that you need to send me 5 messages per day. 2-3 times per week is absolutely fine since I am not able to respond as much either)

Flexible

We all have real, social lives outside of the roleplaying world. I understand when you’re not able to reply as fast all of the time, because it is not much different for me either. I will try to respond at least 4-5 times a week. If it’s a good week, my replying rate will increase depending on the given situation. If there’s work ahead or any sort of obstacle that might get in the way of our exchange, I will let you know as soon as I possibly can! I promise you this!  But I also hope you do the same when there’s something that might cause a hiatus.

   I am looking for LONGTERM and CONTINUOS Roleplays! My partner should be very committed because otherwise, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense and we might as well drop it.

    When it comes to my writing style and preferences, I will list these things here for you to read.

Writing: I am a multi-paragraph sort of writer, which means that frequently, my writing will exceed at least 500 words, and upward of 1000+ words. I love detail in description, and I am actively seeking someone of the same infamy. Generally, I tend to write in the 3rd person. I’ve also tested the waters of 1st person but found it fairly awkward, if not, jarring so I’d rather keep it with 3rd person.

Pairings: I openly play characters of both genders, preferable m x f pairings, but I am open to m x m and f x f relationships as well. I have more experience with m x f relationships, so I might excel in this category more than I would do with the others. However, like I said, do not let this deter you. Very much open to other sexual orientations and preferences. Romance and intimate erotic scenes are always a part of the story, so if you are someone who prefers fading to black, I am afraid to tell you that my request isn’t something for you. This is not negotiable, sorry.

Genres: I am versatile when it comes to genres and settings that I like to play in. Supernatural is my absolute jam, especially urban and gothic fantasy, maybe even a bit of mythology as well?  Anything involving vampires, werewolves, demons, witches, shape shifters, aliens, mutants, other urban creature of folklore, given some sort of modern day spun, is absolutely perfect for me. I also really love science fiction in its many forms. Primarily, I take my sci-fi craving inspirations from Star Wars, Mass Effect, and even Destiny (even though I did not really enjoy the games…). Another genre that I’ve vast interest in includes that of the superhero genre. I’m a big fan of both Marvel and DC fandom, and the concept of having humans with abilities, anything of that short would be awesome to do. Against, these would be with original characters on my part. I’m not as fond of general real-life or general modern day genres and themes without a good, complex idea attached to it.

Characters: Faceclaims, GIFs, drawings, mood boards or just a plain physical description is absolutely welcome / sufficient. I am not someone who necessarily needs a face claim for a character in order ‘to get the picture’. There are many instances where I could not find a suiting match for my character’s definition, so I resorted to drawing them myself or leaving it with a simple description.  Characters should have flaws - that is a no brainer obviously, since nobody likes a Mary Sue / Gary Stu - but also some unique traits that make them stand out and remain memorable. I take inspiration from JK Rowling or George R.R. Martin for example as each of their character remains very unique and unforgettable in my opinion. They definitely did something right and I want to emulate that, so don’t be afraid to be rather bold with your character creation. Let your imagination run wild and surprise me with your ideas!

World building & plotting: An active roleplayer is wanted in this category, without a doubt. I love to world-build, but I tend to lose interest when I am the only one who puts in the effort into it. I can’t do the thinking for two people, so I implore you to at least share the burden (which should not be regarded as such because roleplaying is a fun hobby and nothing more). Too often I find people shying away from it in this regard. If I feel that I’m carrying the weight of the world-building part with specific ideas, I will end the Roleplay in immediately. And consider that the world building is just the tip of the beginning, so from that, I’ll be able to see whether we’ll be a match or not. Because we’d be starting from scratch with whatever we do, it would be a big relief to have someone who doesn’t mind letting ideas flow to set up the universe that we will be roleplaying in.

Content: I find writing erotic, dramatic or action packed scenes very enjoyable. I don’t hinder myself when certain subjects are mentioned that may be uncomfortable for the general public. But then again, as a reminder, a Roleplay is not reality but fiction. For example situations that heavily imply and involve brutality, mayhem, psychological and physical torture are things that need exploration.

Characters should be fully fleshed out, even the not so pretty parts of one’s personality and actions. There is no black and white, but a wide ranging spectrum of grey areas. A story does not always end well and life is never fair, so to implement this into a Roleplay, it would make a fantastic and very exciting story. Nothing is ever certain, people have their ups and downs… we shouldn’t make an exception here. I am not afraid to delve into even more sinister areas such as psychological trauma if its needed to further the story. I want to be as transparent as I possibly can. I have very few limits. The only subjects I will not touch, or rather avoid are heavy graphic rape scenes, bestiality, necrophilia and pedophilia. Other than that everything is fair game. What I also find quite fascinating is describing someone’s mental as well as physical transformation, ascending to a higher or lower state of being, etc. The process of metamorphosis, may it be the manipulation or corruption of someone… it all is quite eerie and at the same time, intriguing. It all leads to the progression of the story, so be warned that we won’t be walking on egg shells here.  

The story will not be solely centred on dark themes. I love me a mixture of everything, including drama, fluff, angst, action, comedy, romance, adventure, mystery and so forth. 

Let’s lighten up a bit, kay? :)

The ones I’ve marked in bold are the ones I am currently itching for the most.   

Original plots I am absolutely craving for are:

   Genres: 

anything mafia related

crimes in remote locations

small towns and supernatural happenings

post apocalyptic/dystopia

supernatural/modern fantasy (demons and devils, monster x hunter)

southern/mid western gothic

murder mystery (small town or big city)

modern/dark fairy tale retellings

sci-fi/cyberpunk

emotionally charged/dark and gritty

superpowers/gifted

unresolved sexual tension/slow burn

mythology

redemption

action

Pairings:

age gaps (non pedophiliac)

friend x best friend’s older sibling

enemies to lovers

cop x criminal

friends turned lovers/pining

grumpy x sunshine

dark hearted man melting for the innocent woman

reunited old lovers and/or friends

boss x employee

neighbours

mentor x mentee

hitman x victim

hurt/comfort

height differences

pet names

rich x poor (or noble and peasant / different social classes)

The Fandoms I am willing to do, although I prefer to make something original:

Films & television:

Marvel cinematic universe

Pacific Rim

Castlevania

Game of Thrones

Riverdale

Young Justice

Voltron

Constantine

Harry Potter

Star Wars

Games:

Witcher III

Devil May Cry

Our Favorite Titles Hitting Netflix in February

Just a few months after it began, January is over and now we’re into February. For most of us, that means yet another few weeks of dreariness, punctuated by a day of feeling either extra romantic or extra single. Netflix has some good options no matter where you fall on that spectrum. Here are a few of our favorite options landing this month.

The Mood for Love

A few movies to scratch your romantic itch.

The Notebook

Nicholas Sparks’ classic romantic drama hasn’t lost any of its weepy sensibilities with age.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Kevin Costner and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio have plenty chemistry in this re-telling of one of the oldest tales in the Western canon, spun through a romantic filter.

To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You

Netflix’s followup to its runaway hit To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and will continue to follow the roller coaster ride of Laura Jean and Noah’s blossoming teen relationship with far more charm than we’ve come to expect from high school romcoms.

Single Edge

Maybe you’re single or maybe romance movies just aren’t your thing. Either way, here are a few new movies you might enjoy.

Horse Girl

We don’t know much about Alison Brie’s new, unsettling-looking drama about a young woman’s battle with monsters that may or may not be in her own head, but what we do know is good: it’s adapted from a script co-written by Brie herself and it was inspired by her own family’s history with mental health.

Good Time

Before 2019’s Uncut Gems, the Safdie brothers made waves directing Robert Pattinson in Good Time, which features the same frenetic stress and luck-pushing protagonists as their acclaimed Adam Sandler-vehicle did last year.

Anna Karenina

Joe Wright’s 2012 adaptation of Tolstoy’s classic novel finds Kiera Knightley starring in a timeless (and timelessly tragic) tale of an illicit affair that goes down in flames.

Purple Rain

Prince’s musical manifesto remains a cultural touchpoint of incalculable importance, more than 35 years after it first debuted and provided the Purple One with a chance to show just how good he really was.

Starship Troopers

Quite possibly the most subversive big-budget movie in America cinema, Starship Troopers is a slick satire of American military propaganda that stubbornly refuses to show its cards, playing everything so straight even many critics missed the joke when it premiered in 1997. But thoughtful viewers will realize that while the movie ostensibly follows a bunch of almost hilariously attractive soldiers sent to space to fight a war against an army of alien insects, director Paul Verhoeven is subtly rooting for the bugs.

Documentary Now

Netflix’s famed library of incisive documentaries isn’t slowing its growth any time soon.

The Pharmacist

This story of one bereaved father’s quest to uncover the truth about prescription drugs long before America was aware of its blooming crisis shines an uncomfortable light on the sinister origins of the Opioid Crisis.

Road to Roma

Alfonso Cuarón has produced a documentary about his own life, and how it inspired his Oscar-winning sensation Roma.

Binge-Worthy

Looking for more of a TV show? That’s Netflix’s specialty. Here’s what they’re serving up on the binge list this month.

Locke & Key

Fans of the spooky graphic novel series ought to be pleased by Netflix’s dramatic adaptation of the story of three kids who move into an ancestral estate and find keys that unlock …well, things that were locked up for a reason.

Narcos: Mexico: Season 2

Netflix’s fascinating look at the origins of the modern drug trade is a reminder of the ways in which true crime can be exploratory instead of just exploitive.

I Am Not OK With This

Lots of reasons to be excited about this new teen drama from the Stranger Things producers, which stars Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff (who both stole scenes as young leads in 2017’s IT) as two awkward adolescents navigating love, loss and possible superpowers in American suburbia.

Call me predictable, but here we go: 'The cold light of a winter morning lay on the floor of the entry hall like spilled pearls. [...] „Okay, what d‘ya wanna know?“' from 'Lift you up'

This is gonna get super lengthy, folks, sorry for that.If you are in no way interested in reading anything about my overwatch fanfiction and my related babble, I advise you to scroll past this and forget you ever encountered this post at all.

Here goes nothing, Marik.(btw this is all about this post, basically: http://duesternis.tumblr.com/post/167812715352/rageprufrock-lets-go )

The most important thing i have to say about this whole fic and all its related parts is that it was never supposed to be anything this long.But, as usual, it sprouted on its own, growing tendrils of ideas and scenes whenever I turned my mind remotely into its direction.And who am I to deny myself (and you, by extension) the joy of fluffy, sappy men falling hopelessly in love to the backdrop of some organized-crime-drama?

And this is basically just that.The whole scene serves as yet another reminder that Jesse is falling head over heels for a man he barely knows and Hanzo likewise.Maybe even worse.

I’ll deal with this in small parts.

The cold light of a winter morning lay on the floor of the entry hall like spilled pearls. The house was quiet around them and for a moment there was a semblance of home between two breaths.McCree smiled lazily at him and Hanzo smiled back, eyes slipping to his favourite shape in the world.A door down the right hallway opened and Hanzo gave McCree‘s shoulder a squeeze, turned around and walked up the stairs. Turned at the top and looked at McCree.Who stood at the foot of the stairs, eyes huge and mouth open in a disbelieving smile.His cheeks were flushed.

The most noticeable thing about the whole scene with the stairs is the first sentence, for me. Maybe the first two.I could have ended the scene there, or cut it short and just beam them to Hanzo’s office. Because those two sentences say it all.The spilled pearls could be the unexpected beauty and worth Hanzo and Jesse see in each other.The light is just that. Light. But you may recall the fact that Jesse’s Santa Fe hideout had small windows. Not much light.Hanzo isn’t one to rise early. Morning light isn’t something he sees often.The house is quiet. They are, for a moment, alone in the world. Something else they are strangely unused to. They are often alone, but have never been comfortable being alone with a stranger.Then the “semblance of home between two breaths”. Sounded fancy. I liked it.And don’t we all know that distinct feeling of warmth blooming in our chests, between two breaths, when we just know that the person across from us is all we need right now?Yeah. Like that.

The rest of that bit is just Jesse being a huge dork, thinking that Hanzo looks so fucking gorgeous (like always) and Hanzo being awestruck and trying to hide it behind his stoic facade (nerd).

Hanzo jerked his chin at him and with a laugh McCree took the stairs two at a time. His long legs powerful, his spurs jingling happily.„Come with me.“„Right behind ya, darlin‘.“„When you keep saying that, it will lose its meaning, McCree.“ Hanzo grinned to himself and unlocked the door to his personal office. McCree chuckled behind him.The door swung inward and he stepped inside.McCree followed him.„Close the door.“ He did as asked and leaned against the wood. Lit a cigarillo. The room went out over the garden, a white pane of snow where green grass sprouted in summer.

Can spurs jingle happily?????More important: Jesse’s amazing legs and Hanzo’s snark. Secret grins and inviting people into very personal spaces (in this case personal office where important decisions are made).

DO I SMELL TRUST COMING OFF OF YOU HANZO SHIMADA??? (yes i do. it smells like cigarillos)

Jesse is getting nervous here, smoking to soothe his nerves. The white of the snow unnerves him as much as he finds it beautiful.It’s not something he is used to, something foreign to him, to see something so pure undisturbed.He may be afraid of tainting it.(The snow could be a metaphor i think. But I don’t know for what. I didn’t think much when writing the sentence. I just wanted to tell that the office is at the garden-side of the house and make it sound pretty at the same time. the aestheticTM stirkes again.)

Hanzo sat down at his low desk and pulled his glasses out of his shirt pocket.There was a sharp intake of breath from the door and he looked at McCree with an inquiring expression.„Golly gee, Hanzo.“ It came out flatly, powerless.„What is it?“ He frowned and McCree made a weak step forward. The cigarillo in his hand fumed faintly.„Ya look…“Hanzo put a hand to his glasses. „These?“A timid nod, a flush rising in McCree‘s cheeks. It was adorable. Hanzo smiled.„I need them for extensive reading. Since I was a boy.“A breathless laugh and McCree dropped to the floor on the other side of the desk. Barely on the pillow.Hanzo pulled a notebook out of a drawer and unscrewed the top of his fountain pen.McCree emptied his small bowl of paper clips and tapped ash into it.Hanzo raised a brow at that. „You‘ll clean that up later.“„Yessir.“ McCree grinned, face still flushed, and saluted sharply. „So.“„Yes?“

MEGANE HANZO. probably the only reason i wrote this was the mental image of sexy hanzo with reading glasses, looking over them at people, all pissed.and flustered jesse is cute.School-boy wringing his hands at the desk of his favourite teacher, acutely aware of the fact that he’s in over his head.Or sth like that…

Also imagine Jesse dropping on his ass b/c Hanzo’s too hot. *evil laughter*Hanzo’s mildly concerned for Jesse’s well-being, but thinks it’s cute too.

And I wanted Hanzo to be untrusting of modern media regarding important information. That’s why he’s using a notebook and a fountain pen. Something fancy. (My dad collects fancy fountain pens. They’re really pretty.)

And how devastatingly impractical is a low working desk? It needs quite a bit of talent to look down on people from your butt, but Hanzo can pull it off.He’s also a slut for anything tradtional and the contrast of a sprawling Jesse and a proper Hanzo on their respective sides of the desk made me giggle.That’s all.

„What‘s this about?“ McCree pointed at the notebook with his cigarillo. He closed his lips around the end of it and dropped his hat on the floor next to him.Hanzo wanted to touch his lips around the cigarillo and feel his breath on his fingers. It would be hot.„I need information about the workings of the Deadlock Gang.“„Ain‘t you got a division fer that kinda stuff?“ McCree rubbed his untended beard.Hanzo drew a tiny circle at the top of the page.„I need insider information.“Their eyes met over the desk and they shared an inhale.

Things are getting intenser (more intense?) here. I thought it best to slowly edge into the serious weight of the conversation that comes after the bit you asked me to talk about.(Which is actually one of my fav scenes in retrospect, I think)

And I wanted to show the tenderness that forcefully wedges itself into Hanzo, burrowing into his being with all the charm of a bulldozer.He’s completely at Jesse’s mercy at this point already, mostly unaware of it, thoughWhereas Jesse’s getting more and more nervous, his mind as far away from pleasant things as possible. He’s two seconds away from trying to talk his way out of here.He gets scared more easily than he himself would like and it shows.

Hanzo is probably aware of this. (I don’t know that. He writes himself and evades introspection mostly, the jerk.)

Jesse took three drags before answering.„Okay.“And with that he mentally tossed the old black leather jacket hanging in his closet in Santa Fe out the window.He was fair game now.The tattoo on the sole of his left foot itched suddenly and he had to laugh at himself.Damn superstition.Shimada frowned at him. „What now?“„Ah, nothin‘. Jus‘ had to think of somethin‘ funny.“ Jesse grinned and stretched his legs out along the desk. Held himself upright with leaning his stump on the desktop.Crossed his legs at the ankles and let his spurs twirl.„Okay, what d‘ya wanna know?“

Jesse’s scared, but trusting Hanzo to catch him when he jumps into water, not knowing if he can swim.And he thinks, privately, that drowning is preferable to staying a traitor with ties to the people he betrayed.

It took him half the series to come this far. It will take him the next half to come to terms with what that truly means.But he knows here and now that he doesn’t want to walk under the name of Deadlock anymore.

I actually rewrote this bit a few times, though. I’m still not really happy with the leather-jacket-sentence.I have this feeling I could have said it in a more elegant way, but i don’t know how. So it stayed like that.

This also is a great bit to show how Jesse masks his own nervousness and fear with bravado and a show of being particularly at ease.I’m not sure how much Hanzo sees through it. But I think he knows it’s not entirely genuine.He worries.

This is the second time (in the part you chose) that I draw notice to the fact that Jesse is without a prosthetic atm and the first time i do it directly.The first time is where I call his beard “Untended”. And here I outright say “stump”.Both instances relate directly to the fact that Hanzo wants/needs insider information about the Gang.I’m not sure what I wanted to say with that.I don’t plan stuff like that. I don’t plan stuff at all.

I bullshit stuff. I write overly poetic lines and bullshit the rest.

But hey. I think it works? (You must think so too, what with reading my stuff so avidly? :’‘P )

I’d tell you what music I listened to when I wrote this, but I can’t recall. Probably indie pop. (It’s always indie pop or eighties music.)And I think I have nothing left to say.

If you want to know some more, feel free to ask. X’D (Oh boi, this is probably all over the place)

#ask game #my platonic date #ow #my fanfiction #jesse and hanzo #writing #the first time i tried to analyse my own writing #it was fun!!!#send me more asks ppl i like asnwering them #hehe

MY DREAM FOR WHAT I WANT FOR THE FUTURE OF MARVEL ANIMATION: A NEW Golden Age of Animated Marvels

With the Disney/Fox merger becoming more and more of a reality. There is tremendous excitement in having almost the entire Marvel Universe on the big screen but also finally all together in animation. With Marvel finally retaining the TV rights to most of its properties that had been at 20th Century Fox this could lead to a very exciting time for the Marvel animated world with brand new cartoon shows featuring characters who’ve had shows in the past who can finally get there definitive treatment they deserve in animation. Allowing so many characters from The Marvel Universe the opportunity to be showcased.

I haven’t been keeping up with any of The Marvel Animation/Disney XD shows like Ultimate Spider-Man (2012-17), HULK AND THE AGENTS OF S.M.A.S.H. or Avengers Assemble or The Guardians of The Galaxy cartoon or even the new Spider-Man cartoon. I understand these are shows for younger audiences but I was very disappointed in what I’ve seen from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon in my early teen days. That show pretty much turned me off from the rest of this ‘shared universe’.

So that kept getting me thinking that now that Marvel will regain the rights to the majority if not all of their characters. There’s many rumors circulating about a new X-Men cartoon and I was thinking about the DC Universe streaming service and how they brought back Young Justice as Young Justice: Outsiders. I then started to think about Disney’s streaming service Disney + where maybe these new Marvel animated shows can find a place there. Here’s a list of animated series ideas I have that could be what fans have know idea what they wanted, but deep down they always did.

HERE WE GO…

A NEW ‘UNCANNY’ X-MEN CARTOON

A new X-Men cartoon has been one of the many rumored things being developed under the Disney/Fox merger. Also it’s been ten years since Wolverine and The X-Men which was short lived but a favorite of mine. The tone of my X-Men series like the other three X-Men shows the X-Men: The Animated Series, X-Men: Evolution, Wolverine and The X-Men, it would have a slightly darker tone but mine would skew a bit darker. It is a cartoon that would appeal to younger viewers but would not alienate mature audiences. To make a show that kids, teenagers and adults would enjoy. Having a show like this is something for awhile I’ve been waiting for. This show could have the potential to be as relevant as ever using the ‘Mutant’ metaphor in the current landscape could gain a lot of attention.

Also many writers and the creative/animation team who have worked on Wolverine and The X-Men and other animated shows could come back. Mainly people like Craig Kyle & Chris Yost also bring in the current comic book writers who know the X-Men property like Ed Brisson or Matthew Rosenberg or maybe some veterans like Chris Claremont. The Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon had the right idea of bringing in people like Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Paul Dini, Brian Michael Bendis, for this cartoon I’d bring in familiar names like that and let them go wild with the animators to create the X-Men show they want to see.

Also, Maybe bring back the same or a familiar voice cast or a completely different voice cast from other X-shows like Wolverine & The X-Men. Maybe have Steve Blum or Gerard Butler (from the Wolverine: Long Night audio drama) as the voice Wolverine,Or Jim Ward (from Wolverine & The X-Men) as the voice of Professor X and maybe also have Loren Lester (who was the voice of Nightwing in The New Batman Adventures) voice Cyclops, also my dream voice casting of Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Daphne in the James Gunn Scooby Doo movies) as Jean Grey.

Bringing back the X-Men in this fashion for a animated series could gain a lot of critical and commercial acclaim if done right. Having it stream on the Disney + service could maybe help it push boundaries in censorship and in dramatic storytelling quality in modern animation. It would be an absolute treat! If this was available or announced for the Disney + service I would be the first in line.

AN ALL NEW ‘SPECTACULAR’ & ‘AMAZING’ SPIDER-MAN SHOW

Ever since Spectacular Spider-Man: The Animated Series there has no Spidey cartoon afterwards that could ever be worthy in my eyes. The ‘90’s Spider-Man: TAS and Spectacular Spider-Man are the two definitive Spidey cartoons for me, however as much as I love and am still extremely connected to both of them there needs to be a new authentic Spider-Man cartoon that scratches those Spidey itches that the Disney XD stuff hasn’t been doing.

Much like I suggested with X-Men maybe have it stream on the Disney + streaming service and have it be a show that gravitate towards a more teenage audience. Also with Josh Keaton returning as the voice of Spider-Man, if not Josh Keaton then Sean Marquette who voiced him in The Ultimate Spider-Man video game from the early to mid aughts.

It’s a show where the tone would be like Spectacular Spider-Man and Spider-Man: TAS but it can be more sophisticated and go to some darker places where you can give more of a definitive treatment to certain characters and storylines. Where you can have Cletus Kasady/Carnage make an exciting appearance voiced by Tim Curry. It would be crazy if that happend I would love it. Also the show could adapt its own versions of The Night Gwen Stacy Died or Kraven’s Last Hunt. It would be astounding to see Spidey stories with the storytelling level and sophistication of those classic comics on an animated series that is willing to take itself more seriously but not be too ultra serious since it’s Spider-Man. It’s a show that I would want that make you root for the hero, scream, laugh, cry. A rollercoaster of emotions is what you should get in a Spider-Man cartoon.

Maybe bring it back as a spiritual sequel series to Spectacular Spider-Man and bring back writers like Greg Weisman.

HERE COMES… A DAREDEVIL SHOW

To make up for the cancellation of the successful and my personal favorite Netflix TV show Daredevil I think there should be a Daredevil animated series to make up for the cancellation of the show. The show would be Marvel’s Batman: The Animated Series, it’s a darker gritter show that leans towards the crime drama of Brian Bendis and Frank Miller with some high technicolor visuals and familiar Marvel cameos from the Mark Waid and Chris Samnee brilliant run.

In terms of voicing the character of Daredevil/Matt Murdock maybe Roger Craig Smith who voiced a younger Batman in the Arkham Origins video game.

AN INCREDIBLY, UNSTOPPABLE HULK SHOW

I would love to see Hulk get an all new animated series. It would be an interesting show for teens and adults maybe play with more psychological sides of The Hulk. Adapt some stories from the Peter David run or the recent Al Ewing Immortal Hulk run and I think it would be a great show for the streaming service. There was long talk about the Guillermo Del Toro Hulk TV series maybe get him to executive produce this animated series and let it be a darker thing. Of course in terms of voice casting I’d love to see Fred Tatasciore or Lou Ferrigno voice The Hulk.

That is all for the marvel animated series I would love to see on the Disney + services I apologize for any of the so-so quality this blog post has. It’s a learning process. Thank you so much for reading! :) Have a great day true believers!

CNN: Hollywood in the Trump era

PARK CITY, Utah — To get to the Sundance Film Festival, Hollywood never had to set foot in Trump country.

Like many gilded ski towns in the West, Park City is a liberal bastion in a sea of conservatism. Donald Trump won Utah by 18 points, but here in Summit County he lost by 15. Flying from Burbank or Brooklyn to Salt Lake, then by car into the mountains, celebrities and executives were comfortably in progressive territory.

But even at Sundance, which kicks off this weekend, the new political reality is inescapable. Trump’s inauguration took place just hours before the opening parties, casting a relative pall over the festivities. Weeks ago, the Hollywood A-list danced with the Obamas at the White House. On Friday, that building was occupied by a man who offends all their political, moral and aesthetic sensibilities.

Hollywood — that is to say, Hollywood’s liberal creative class — feels threatened. “All of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now,” Meryl Streep said at the Golden Globes.

In the pages of The New York Times, Hollywood angst has practically become subgenre: Judd Apatow is in Santa Monica, stress-eating (“There’s so many things that are hard to hear every day that you do want to have some Oreos”); Bill Maher is in Beverly Hills, self-medicating with alcohol and marijuana.

“This community was overwhelmingly anti-Trump, certainly more so than the country as a whole,” Andy Spahn, one of the top consultants to Hollywood’s most powerful political fundraisers, told CNNMoney. “This is a community rooted in speech, in community, in inclusiveness. There is a sense some of those values may be threatened under a Trump administration, very directly. Some of that fear and angst is very personal and very credible.”

Questions abound: What is Hollywood supposed to do? How is the creative industry supposed to respond? What is the role of liberal culture in the Trump era?

On the political front, Hollywood, like much of the progressive community, is still in the planning stages. “We’ve been talking to all the centers of power in Washington,” Spahn said, “from the Obama camp to the Center for American Progress to David Brock to Chuck Schumer, and we’re working our way through how we can contribute best going forward. The dust hasn’t settled.”

But there is also the question of what Hollywood creates — the films and shows and other art it makes in response to the new reality. And with that, another question: Does it even matter?

The country is polarized along cultural lines. As maps published recently by The Upshot show, there is a Duck Dynasty America and a Modern Family America, and never the twain shall meet. When Streep made an appeal to skeptical Americans — about how Hollywood was just regular folks like you and me — it wasn’t clear they were listening.

“Both Trump and Obama are very much representative of what America is, it’s just two different sides of America,” Graydon Carter, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, told CNNMoney. “I don’t think you can speak beyond your bubble in this fragmented media environment. The days of ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ and the final episode of ‘Mash'” — when Americans from all around the country gathered around their televisions to watch the same thing — “are long gone.”

“The creative class talks about its work as ‘culture,’ but wide swaths of the country aren’t even tuning in,” Dr. Andrew Hartman, the author of “A War for the Soul Of America: A History of the Culture Wars,” said. “Modern Family? Nobody in Mississippi is watching that.”

Of course, Hollywood also creates, produces and owns many of the shows that are watched in Mississippi and across Trump’s America. “All of these things are coming out of ‘liberal Hollywood,’ whether it’s ‘Survivor’ or other reality TV, it’s the same creative community that’s generating these disparate properties,” Spahn pointed out. Like Streep at the Globes, he also reiterated that Hollywood’s creators “come from all over,” with “roots in Ohio and Indiana and Mississippi.”

“People sometimes forget that acting — it’s rarely a job where you join your fathers company,” he said. “You start with nothing and you labor long and hard to get a break.”

Still, there has long been a sense among conservatives that Hollywood’s liberal elite shove their values down America’s throats, and that sentiment has grown more intense in recent years.

Before Trump won the election, conservative columnist Ross Douthat argued that “the culture industry” had become so aggressively liberal that it had left everyone “outside the liberal tent” feeling “suffocated by the left’s cultural dominance.”

“To flip from Stephen Colbert’s winsome liberalism to Seth Meyers’s class-clown liberalism to [Samantha] Bee’s bluestocking feminism to John Oliver’s and Trevor Noah’s lectures on American benightedness is to enter an echo chamber from which the imagination struggles to escape,” Douthat wrote. “It isn’t just late-night TV. Cultural arenas and institutions that were always liberal are being prodded or dragged further to the left. Awards shows are being pushed to shed their genteel limousine liberalism and embrace the race-gender-sexual identity agenda in full.”

Erick Erickson, the conservative pundit, said he agreed with Douthat’s conclusion, and that the culture industry “seemed committed to silencing dissent and deciding that some views held by around half the country are hostis humani generis.”

“I think Hollywood suffered under the idea that the country had turned dramatically in their direction,” Erickson said in an email. “Yes, I think the country has shifted a bit to the left, but not as much as Hollywood thought.” He also bemoaned Hollywood’s tendency to award films “that scratch a Hollywood itch,” but do not have mass market appeal. “They make movies that make them feel good,” he said.

Hartman, who identified himself as a liberal, similarly argued that the Hollywood elite “are not very politically astute in terms of understanding wide swaths of America. They get together at awards shows and pat themselves on the back and think they’re speaking for a part of the culture that is morally superior.”

“To me, Meryl Streep’s speech seemed culturally obtuse,” he said.

More than two months since Trump’s stunning upset, Hollywood’s liberals haven’t shown much desire to reach across the ideological divide

Samantha Bee, the late-night host and principle target of Douthat’s column, told CNNMoney there was no plan to change her approach because of Trump’s victory. “We’re doing a show that is speaking to us,” she said. “We’re not making a show based on an algorithm of who we’re reaching or what our metrics are.”

Maher has similarly promised to give his liberal audiences the same thing he has always given them: “Let’s not go too far with the changes, because what people are going to want right now is comfort food,” he recently told Variety.

Like “La La Land,” which was all the rage at the Golden Globes, much of what people are buzzing about at Sundance this year seems to reinforce Hollywood’s image of itself. Al Gore is in town to premier his latest climate change documentary, “An Inconvenient Sequel.” The much-discussed comedy “The Big Sick” seeks to offer a new portrayal of Muslim life. Outside the theaters, Chelsea Handler will be leading the Women’s March against the man she has described as “Our Predator-in-Chief.”

After Sundance, Hollywood will continue to pump out blockbuster action movies like “X-Men” and “Star Wars,” in which the identity of the heroes and villains is open to interpretation. (In the liberal imagination, “Star Wars” is the story of polyglot progressives fighting the tyranny of an all-white fascism. In the conservative imagination, it’s a rogue band of patriots fighting the tyranny of federal government.)

Meanwhile, Americans will increasingly stay home, where content is on-demand and progressives can enjoy satire and escapism while conservatives delight in reality shows and crime dramas. What’s missing is a shared narrative, some sense that we’re all taking part in the same story.

So, what is Hollywood’s new story?

For years, film studios have capitalized on old stories: Remakes of films that didn’t need to be remade; sequels that rarely lived up to the originals; franchises based on consumer goods like Legos and video games.

Sundance is actually one of the few places where new stories still get told. Soon, perhaps — though maybe not this year — there will be one that bridges the cultural divide.

“Hollywood reflects what is happening in the nation,” Spahn said. “There can be a production lag in terms of the time it takes to put a film on a screen, but throughout our history and in different periods Hollywood has always reflected events in the nation.”

A Wild Hunt for Roleplay

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I’ll keep it short and sweet for my introduction. I am Fenry, but you may address me as Fen. Obviously this is not my real name but I would like to keep a pseudonym as my identity until I get to know my partner better.

    When it comes to my writing style and preferences, I will list these things here for you to read.

The story will not be solely centred on dark themes. I love me a mixture of everything, including drama, fluff, angst, action, comedy, romance, adventure, mystery and so forth. 

Let’s lighten up a bit, kay? :)

The ones I’ve marked in bold are the ones I am currently itching for the most.   

Original plots I am absolutely craving for are:

   Genres: 

anything mafia related

crimes in remote locations

small towns and supernatural happenings

post apocalyptic/dystopia

supernatural/modern fantasy (demons and devils, monster x hunter)

southern/mid western gothic

murder mystery (small town or big city)

modern/dark fairy tale retellings

sci-fi/cyberpunk

emotionally charged/dark and gritty

superpowers/gifted

unresolved sexual tension/slow burn

mythology

redemption

action

Pairings:

age gaps (non pedophiliac)

friend x best friend’s older sibling

enemies to lovers

cop x criminal

friends turned lovers/pining

grumpy x sunshine

dark hearted man melting for the innocent woman

reunited old lovers and/or friends

boss x employee

neighbours

mentor x mentee

hitman x victim

hurt/comfort

height differences

pet names

rich x poor (or noble and peasant / different social classes)

The Fandoms I am willing to do, although I prefer to make something original:

Films & television:

Pacific Rim

Castlevania

Game of Thrones

Riverdale

Young Justice

Voltron

Constantine

Harry Potter

Star Wars

Games:

Witcher III

Devil May Cry

Bayonetta

God of War

Star Wars

Dark Souls

My Roleplaying platform is mostly on email or google docs! I also would like to keep in touch with my partner over a different medium, preferably Discord.   To contact me use these links here: 

EMAIL: [email protected]

DISCORD: Fenry#4086

 Find me there.

Here are two passwords that you can use in the headline so I know what you want to role-play. 

*For ORIGINAL Roleplay, the password is: Follow me and you shall be

free *For CANON Roleplay, the password is: I will follow you until the end

I know, very original… haha xD  But anyways, I hope I am lucky enough to find my longterm RP buddy here.   Till then, thank you for your time! See you soon <3

#originalroleplay #email #googledocs #partner #longterm #original #supernatural #demons #fantasy #monsters #search #mystery #mature #adult

Sundance is actually one of the few places where new stories still get told. Soon, perhaps — though maybe not this year — there will be one that bridges the cultural divide.

CNN: Hollywood in the Trump era

PARK CITY, Utah — To get to the Sundance Film Festival, Hollywood never had to set foot in Trump country.

Questions abound: What is Hollywood supposed to do? How is the creative industry supposed to respond? What is the role of liberal culture in the Trump era?

But there is also the question of what Hollywood creates — the films and shows and other art it makes in response to the new reality. And with that, another question: Does it even matter?

“People sometimes forget that acting — it’s rarely a job where you join your fathers company,” he said. “You start with nothing and you labor long and hard to get a break.”

Still, there has long been a sense among conservatives that Hollywood’s liberal elite shove their values down America’s throats, and that sentiment has grown more intense in recent years.

“To me, Meryl Streep’s speech seemed culturally obtuse,” he said.
