Like part of me is like surely they wouldn’t want to imply, even in a completely metaphorical way, that Dexter wants to fuck his teenage son. But then why did they make New Blood like that..

Doakes

I'm back to deliver some more Biney art. A fanfic fitting this piece is on the way too

I'm proud of you

 HE'S SO PRETTY (ignore the groomer)

Just had a thought what if Harrison keeps finding himself drawing Dexter. He keeps drawing him when he's not looking he thinks Dexter doesn't notice. Which he at first didn't but eventually he catches on.

i really dig this genre of dexter images where he is all bloody and heavily distressed

Not pictured here: Dexter's heavy breathing

DEXTER — 2.12 "The British Invasion"

The most important thing you can do in this life is write hyper-specific fanfiction for you and six other people. Don’t believe anything else you read.

The "we shouldn't be doing this" as we're uncontrollably heavy breathing into each others mouths

ngl rewatching New Blood has convinced me the Dexter/Harrison incest overtones are completely intentional

#and if I said Harrison metaphorically watched Dexter orgasim.. #< prev #YOU WOULD BE RIGHT #and then we could also make the argument that the blood pooling on the floor is... another substance @vivelevagin

Ok but genuinely there is something to be said about Harrison not wanting to touch it. Harrison suggests the whole thing because he knows that’s what Dexter wants and then maybe daddy will love him. But the reality of it? And Dexter’s so.. asking him if he’s ok, if he wants to leave.. but he wants to tough it out. Wants daddy to love him… but he doesn’t want to touch it.

YES and like I also think it was supposed to be a call back to the fact that probably watched the pool of his mother's blood creep towards him in the hours before Dexter found him, so there's also that.

and it just kind of comes down to this question of how far is he willing to go to get Dexter's love. he's willing to go pretty fucking far but what happened in the bunker was obviously beyond what he was ready for, he's not ready to enter into this kind of, idk, communion.

Yeah, it literally reminds him of his mother’s murder. This is where the metaphor breaks down. Sometimes murder is sex but sometimes murder is just murder.

But yes both textually and subtextually it’s about how far Harrison is willing to go for Dexter’s love. It’s all too much. Too real. But when Dexter checks in with him afterwards he deliberately leads Dexter to believe he wants to do it again. Because he doesn’t want to lose the emotional intimacy that’s developing between them even if the umm other kind of intimacy isn’t something he wants.

It doesn’t truly go too far for Harrison until Dexter kills an innocent (and I don’t think there is really any metaphor here).
