“average spirit medium gets accused of murder 3 times a year” factoid actually just statistical error. maya fey, who lives in capcom’s stock plot contrivance box & is accused 10,000 times a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

On the recommendation of two friends, I recently watched Deadloch, and it was incredible! Super funny, but the mystery is really compelling too. It both subverts and satirises crime drama tropes and archetypes as well as being a pointed social commentary. Oh, it's also incredibly feminist and critiques toxic masculinity and the patriarchy through that lens. Plus it’s a great buddy cop show! It works on a lot of levels in a way satire or spoofs can sometimes not work

Anyway, you've got the loose cannon renegade detective played pitch perfectly by Madeleine Sami (a lot of comments I saw elsewhere found her hard to bear at first, but she does mellow, and her being OTT was part of the point), the strait-laced (but not straight) local sergeant again played to perfection by Kate Box, and a whole host of wacky and often irritating (but never boring) characters, who, as I said, both play into archetypes of crime dramas but also real life stereotypes.

It's hard to go into more of what I loved about it as a whole without giving away the reveals, so I'll just say I think it was all superbly done. It's a really well crafted show! Hopefully my gushing isn't too effusive but it's rare these days for me to get this sucked in and not be disappointed. It's also set up perfectly for a second so fingers crossed

And for anyone looking for crime dramas with more queer characters, most of the women in the town are lesbians, and the main male cop is gay

(Sorry if any of this doesn’t make sense! It’s super hot today and I’m tired and meant to write this weeks ago haha)

rip to me, who obviously reads/watches too many murder mysteries, because I clocked the Glass Onion culprit right after the lights went out and came back on when I realized Rian WASN'T riffing on Clue like I thought he was and then spent the next half hour trying to prove myself wrong because "there's no way it's that obvious, right? they're trying to trick me with a red herring" no. it really was that obvious asdfghjkl

Posted this to my Pillowfort yesterday, probably gonna be cross-posting for just a little

Have I mentioned yet how much I love the Ravenhearst games bc I absolutely love Escape From Ravenhearst in particular, and Charles Dalimar is my wonderful Murder Husband

I adore how the vibe of this game goes from "ok this is kinda creepy" to "y'know in different circumstances I'd think he's hitting on me" to "wait is he actually hitting on me" to "hold on did you just trick me into getting married Charles what are you doing"

what else am i afraid of?

David’s eyes get increasingly worried as he reads through the letter. “This is kind of getting personal, isn’t it?”

“It’s getting more desperate,” Alec scoffs. “He is trying to get under my skin.”

“It could be a she,” David shrugs. Alec raises an eyebrow. “Gender equality.”

“I don’t think accusing women of possible murder is what feminists mean by gender equality,” Alec notes.

David blushes at that. “I still think you should get off the train.”

Alec grabs the letter. “You sound like the guy in the letter.”

“So, we’re sticking with guy then,” David asks.

“It’s always a guy,” Alec sighs.

“I’m sorry he called you a bad husband,” David says quietly.

“I’m an excellent husband,” Alec says, even though the words are hard to get out. Especially when he is lying to Magnus. “I’m more offended he called me stupid.”

You can now read the new chapter of the murder mystery au here on ao3 :)
