it feels really weird to be in a microscopic fandom with an invisible thirst quotient but like i just drew neil burnside in a bathtub to lift myself out of a minor depressive spell and i feel like i have literally no one to show this image to
#the sandbaggers#neil burnside#i need professional help#btw burnside in the tub is not even indulgent crackposting it's FROM canon i've been reading the novelization#i dont actually feel comfortable shoving it in my friends' faces esp since i'm already screaming abt sandbaggers against their will so much#i could not even feel comfortable posting it into the void because it's like.#if an obscure thirstpost falls in the forest does it make a sound?!?!?!#the one sandbaggers group feels like the wrong demographic for this as well aghdlsbjldhb#i mean yes i made this piece of art EXCLUSIVELY for myself but i usually like to share my work... if i'm satisfied with it so idk...#sorry mutuals

Favourite CID Era
S4-6 also includes Don't Like Monday (Tosh's family at the bank) and Ted and Roxanne's first appearance together as officer/snout
Series 7-9 inc Viv's death, Dashers guesting after leaving, Frank disappearing without warning for a mystery job and Harry Haines arriving. Danny Pearce, Jo Morgan and Alan Woods also arrive. Jo is promoted to DS after a few eps. Jack is demoted to DCI and returns as a regular rather than guesting as part of AMIP.
Series 10-13 includes Rod being rather chauvinistic to poor Suzi who becomes CID in this series. Jo returns for a guest period and is about to move back permanently before.. ahem. The Target trilogy are a particular work of art in series 11. Don arrives in series 11 when Deakin is promoted to DI after Sally goes. John Boulton arrives not long after too and finally in series 12 Geoff and Liz arrive and Alan goes and Tom Proctor brings up the rear in S13. There is a lot of Alistair and Suzi fun however as she gently teases him throughout.
Series 14-16 brings Duncan and Kerry Holmes with Tosh leaving through sad real-life happenings and Alistair transferring as does Suzi. Series 15 brings Danny Glaze and Claire Stanton as an undercover CIB agent trying to catch Don. She doesn't expect to fall in love with another CID member, however. Unfortunately, we do lose Liz in 15 but she does pop back a few times. Series 16 is a BIG CID-focused series. Rod jumps before he's pushed and the truth about Don comes out after he and John have a fight. We lose John, Don, Kerry, Claire, Geoff, Deakin, Tom, and Tom. We gain Paul Riley, Kate Spears, Vik Singh, Alex Cullen, and Debbie McAllister. A somewhat unfair exchange. Saving the best until last however for series 16 as Mickey also arrives and is at his cheeky scamp best.
Series 17-18 Near the end of series 16 we got a whole new bunch of CID after a mass exodus due to Don being revealed as a dodgy officer. To give them a chance to bed in properly, there were no cast changes to CID in series 17. The new lot featured heavily, Mickey went undercover as a rentboy for a bit and then as a football hooligan. Debbie's snout was her lover and there was quite hoo hah about him, There's a couple of guest appearances from Liz, one of which is a multi-parter that terrifies Kate Spears, Claire follows Don over to Australia to tr catch him and bring him to justice. In series 18 we lose Vik, Paul, Kate and Alex Cullen but gain Eva, Ken Drummond, Phil Hunter, Sam Nixon and Brandon. Series 18 is also the beginning of the numbered episodes and Paul Marquess...
Series 19-21: we gain Juliet for a short time before Rae gets fed up of the sexualised bisexual obsession for her storylines and we also end up with sexist arse, Rob Thatcher whilst losing Duncan, Danny and it's the first exit of Mickey too post-rape and the death of his mother over to MIT. It's not all bad, we also get Terry, Ramani and Neil. In series 20 we lose Rob when he finishes his vengeance against The Radfords by murdering Irene and being shot by CO19. We also lose Debbie and Brandon and Eva transferred to MIT. We gain Suzie in return, however. Series 21 we lose Ken in an explosion and Jim walks away after losing June and Ken. Gary who has been playing in CID for a little while gets short and transfers to the Manchester police. Jo arrives and Mickey returns from MIT. There's a mysterious newbie when Adi Mateen pretending Zain also arrives when it turns out that he's not the annoying gangster that's been buzzing round Sun Hill but has been undercover!
Series 22-24 - In series 22 we lose Ramani and Suzie, however, we gain Stuart and Kezia. THISISNOTAFAIRSWAP. Ahem. In series 23 we gain Grace and also Max at the very very end, Zain reaches the end of his tenure after being drawn to the dark side with Kristen and Phil transfers out rather suddenly as Scott appears to have jumped very quickly over to EastEnders. Series 24 welcomes Stevie and Banksy and we don't lose anyone!
Series 25-26 - I ummed and ahhed about making the last series a stand-alone selection on its own because it's a reboot but given it's only essentially half a year long and that the character changes happen in series 25 I put the two together. So, in this series we lose Jack as DCI because he becomes Superintendent. However we don't gain a new DCI, Neil just remains DI and does both jobs. Jo gets promoted but moves to uniform. Sam, Stuart and Kezia go (Could not have taken Sam being promoted to DCI!) and no one else leaves (other than Will) from CID until the very end. We have Mickey undercover as a homeless man, Max's drug problem and Mickey and Terry confronting him. Grace and Neil get together but Neil's son is diagnosed with cancer and so much more. Finally the entire station works together to nail the rapists of poor Jasmine (Respect 1-2)!
(Yep you guessed it, I meant to post this in the sierra-Oscar comm but got distracted.)

The answer, majority got right! It was the wrinkled old fuck himself, Dr. Spencer, the mastermind behind most of the series, who, despite everything, died a human being.

All the other characters here+their mutations under the cut:
Albert Wesker

Steve Burnside
Derek Simmons
Neil Fisher

William Birkin

Jack Baker

Lisa Trevor

James Marcus

Glenn Arias

I feel like it so
P.S. these are all names of Resident Evil characters but only one of them doesn’t become a mutated boss lol

Bettany had forgotten that getting round London resembled descriptions of warfare. Long stretches of boredom interspersed with moments of panic.
Nobody Walks by Mick Herron

Colin Grove: I think I'd like Special Operations.
Neil Burnside: It amounts to months of boredom interspersed with moments of panic.

Claire Redfield's love life is there to remind you all that it's a survival horror and not a dating sim game.
Same could be said for Chris, he does such a great job in making his partners lose any trace of self preservation, I mean... Did any of them ever abstained from pulling the "I'll sacrifice myself in order to save you" crap?

#the ''heroic'' part is crucial because this isn't a redemption/reformation arc#it's an arc from someone having given themselves wholly to a cause#to them having people they want to live for and live WITH and who make the idea of retirement worthwhile#it's about characters no longer defining themselves by their missions and utility (tags courtesy of OP from the original post)
#the arc I have long wanted for #eliot spencer #you'll look after them to your dying day yes sure #but if you love them you'll live for them #that's the greatest love (tags courtesy of @sanguinarysanguinity)
Dying for something is very different from killing for something. And altogether different from living for something.
#a very good arc indeed #it’s about finding something worth living for when you already had something worth dying for (tags courtesy of @why-bless-your-heart)
#YOU KNOW WHAT ARC REALLY HURTS BESTIES! THE OPPOSITE!!!!! #MAYBE I DIDN’T WANT YOU TO GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS!!!!! #MAYBE I WANTED Y’ALL TO MAKE IT THE STUPID BASEMENT TOGETHER!!!! #MAYBE I WANTED Y’ALL TO GET TO SEE THE OCEAN!!! Ahhhgg!!!!!! (tags courtesy of @doomcannotbethisadorable)
#yeesssss #the arc or self destructive because that's how you survived #to wanting to live a full life because you know understand what love and comfort is #if SO GOOD (tags courtesy of @givemeunicorns)
#i know nothing about the magicians and have never watched a full ep of spn#and i don't care about tony stark#also know nothing about chicago fire but apparently that is a fandom and this post resonates with them!#it's been a trip watching the tags ESPECIALLY when someone thinks they're agreeing with the last addition and they're actually not (tags courtesy of OP from this thread)
#i was SURE that tag was about spn. literally i am uncomfortable when we are not about me :\ #but ALSO the bit in tkm where neil is like. 'maybe ill even die of old age' WAH (tags courtesy of @calicomax)
#is this adrien’s character arc signs point to yea #alternatively he was planning to die from anemia eating nothing but fruit (tags courtesy of @ladyofthenoodle)
#eowyn #and what I WISH GALLIFREY WOULD'VE COMMITTED TO FOR LEELA #this is what Leela's Gallifrey arc deserves tbh #betrayal and destruction of her happy life --> commitment to war and resigning herself to being a warrior forever --> #realizing she has people she WANTS to **live for** now and actually getting to DO THAT #I mean it did kinda happen from s3-s6 #but I wish the progression would've been a little bit clearer and the writers would just stick with it #instead of constantly hurling Leela headlong into battle again and again and aGAIN #anyway #yes good character arc indeed #learning to live and love living and to live for others around you instead of just hoping to die in a spectacular way #writing #big finish gallifrey (tags courtesy of @fortes-fortuna-iogurtum)
A good character arc: going from “planning to die in heroic action” to “planning to die in bed, surrounded by their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”

Your Dream Sun Hill Staff Line Up
This will only work if we ignore the obvious problem with aging and make everyone as old as when they were onscreen for the majority of the time all at the same time (so ignoring returns and later sad deaths like Ted in the numbered episodes and people leaving the service like Rod/Yorkie etc.)
I have included those who rose through the ranks or 'acted up' onscreen in those positions as well [For example - acting Superintendent Derek Conway would be allowed to be chosen as a Superintendent, however you couldn't promote someone who hadn't been seen onscreen as that rank - say making Will Fletcher a Superintendent] It's likely that I've forgotten some so please feel free to point it out and add them in!
You obviously cannot have people in more than one position however, so unfortunately (for me!) there's no Inspector Smith, Sgt Smith and PC Smith all working at the same time!
There are no rules on the sexes of characters (ie - you don't have to have 6 PC's of each sex). The numbers are as follows...
Allowances
1 Superintendent
1 Chief Inspector
1 Detective Chief Inspector
2 Detective Inspectors
3 Detective Sergeants
10 Detective Constables
1 Inspector
3 Sergeants
12 Constables (in total)
(Initially a little bit generous on PC's and DC's allowances. I did start with 8 and 10 but it was a bit too hard for that! If we go for another round we might need to bring that down...)
Superintendent Chief Superintendent Charles Brownlow Acting Superintendent Derek Conway Superintendent Tom Chandler Superintendent Adam Okaro Superintendent Amanda Prosser Superintendent John Heaton Superintendent Jack Meadows
Chief Inspector Chief Inspector Derek Conway Chief Inspector Philip Cato Chief Inspector Paul Stitch
Detective Chief Inspector Detective Chief Inspector Kim Reid Detective Chief Inspector Frank Burnside Detective Chief Inspector Gordon Wray Detective Chief Inspector Jack Meadows
Detective Inspector Detective Inspector Roy Galloway Acting Detective Inspector Ted Roach Detective Inspector Frank Burnside Detective Inspector Harry Haines Detective Inspector Sally Johnson Detective Inspector Chris Deakin Detective Inspector Claire Stanton Acting Inspector Liz Rawton Detective Inspector Alex Cullen Detective Inspector Neil Manson Detective Inspector Rowanne Morell Acting Detective Inspector Ramani De Costa Detective Inspector Samantha Nixon
Detective Sergeants Detective Sergeant Ted Roach Detective Sergeant Danny Pearce Detective Sergeant Jo Morgan Detective Sergeant Alistair Greig Detective Sergeant Mike Dashwood Detective Sergeant Chris Deakin Detective Sergeant John Boulton Detective Sergeant Don Beech Detective Sergeant Geoff Daly Detective Sergeant Claire Stanton Detective Sergeant Rosie Fox Detective Sergeant Debbie McAllister Detective Sergeant Phil Hunter Detective Sergeant Sam Nixon Detective Sergeant Vik Singh Detective Sergeant Mickey Webb Detective Sergeant Ramani De Costa Detective Sergeant Stuart Turner Detective Sergeant Jim Carver Detective Sergeant Max Carter Detective Sergeant Stevie Moss
Detective Constable Detective Constable Mike Dashwood Detective Constable Jim Carver Detective Constable Alfred 'Tosh' Lines Detective Constable Tony 'Yorkie' Smith Detective Constable Viv Martella Detective Constable Alan Woods Detective Constable Jo Morgan Detective Constable Suzi Croft Detective Constable Rod Skase Detective Constable Liz Rawton Detective Constable Kerry Holmes Detective Constable Tom Proctor Detective Constable Duncan Lennox Detective Constable Mickey Webb Detective Constable Danny Glaze Detective Constable Kate Spears Detective Constable Paul Riley Detective Constable Eva Sharpe Detective Constable Brandon Kane Detective Constable Ken Drummond Detective Constable Juliet Becker Detective Constable Rob Thatcher Detective Constable Terry Perkins Detective Constable Ramani De Costa Detective Constable Jo Masters Detective Constable Suzie Sim Detective Constable Gary Best Detective Constable Zain Nadir Detective Constable Kezia Walker Detective Constable Grace Dasari Detective Constable Jacob Banks Detective Constable Stevie Moss Detective Constable Will Fletcher
Inspector Inspector Sam Deeping Inspector Brian Kite Inspector Christine Frazer Inspector Andrew Monroe Acting Inspector Matt Boyden Inspector Gina Gold Inspector Rachel Weston Inspector Dale Smith
Sergeant Sergeant Bob Cryer Sergeant Tom Penny Sergeant Alec Peters Sergeant Joseph Corrie Sergeant Stuart Lamont Sergeant Ray Steele Sergeant Jane Kendall Sergeant John Maitland Acting Sergeant Cathy Marshall Sergeant June Ackland Sergeant Matt Boyden Sergeant Craig Gilmore Sergeant Nikki Wright Sergeant Dale Smith Sergeant Sheelagh Murphy Acting Sergeant Yvonne Hemmingway Sergeant Phil Hunter Sergeant Callum Stone Sergeant Diane Noble Sergeant Rachel Weston Sergeant Jo Masters

i've talked a little bit before about claire's perspective of love, and it does change within every ship that i have with people, but i want to post some of the basics that come in all ends of it, and things that my shipping partners characters will have to deal with when pursing romantic relations with miss claire redfield.
she wears her heart on her sleeve, despite the fact she's so tough natured. though her parents died when she was very young, the core of all relationships was her mother and father and it was a love that was so pure. her father would often come home form work with flowers for his wife, love language being gift giving. her mother's love language was words of affirmation and just saying consistently how much he meant to her.
when claire was in college, she definitely fooled around quite a bit, not really holding down much of a relationship but definitely had no problem getting people to be interested in her. in every verse she'll develop a crush on leon s. kennedy. ( obviously this grows or goes away depending on who i'm writing with and what is being written )
when she meets steve burnside, she isn't sure if the feelings she has towards him is something because of trauma or more, but she knows that losing him completely devastated her. ( ie. chris hearing claire breaking down in sobs when she's locked in a room. )
she does bounce back from it, but focuses everything into terrasave.
when she meets neil, he's sweet and kind, he listens to her, but he's also very boring. it's a safety that claire doesn't have to really stress about because she doesn't sense any danger on this end. that is until he betrays her in the worst way possible, it's a betrayal that destroys every aspect of trust she can ever put on another person.
it hardens her to the core.
#━━ ❛ terrasave was built to save people it's in the goddamn name ◤ headcanons ◢#me thinking about claire often and how she deserves the world

Next week we get Batgirls #14.

GET THIS ISSUE PLEASE!
For those vocal against this series for portraying Cass (and Steph) as young. This issue will be much different than the prior ones (save the Robbi Rodriguez-drawn issues as he too drew them older).
#1 Artist Jonathan Case is drawing and coloring the issue. If you haven’t read Batgirls #13 then we got a tease what is to come. Case is a master of mood and colors in the issue. Take this page for example from #13:

Likewise he’s drawing Cass (and Steph as more older teens. Unlike say those who hated Jorge Corona and Neil Googe (though I didn’t mind their styles save the muppet Maps Mizoguchi of the later).
So this issue is gonna be a visual FEAST. Why do I say this?
#2 It’s an ALL silent issue.
The other big criticism of Batgirls has been the narration boxes and well vocally overriding the great art moments the series had. This issue will have NONE OF THAT.
The “silent issue” is a visual storytelling comics have used since G.I. Joe #21 (which introduced Storm Shadow into the G.I. Joe universe and the story focused on the famous G.I. Joe black ops ninja Snake-Eyes) where there was zero dialogue and narration boxes. The entire story was told via the art and there’s a reason it’s held in a high regard.
Cass has been a character who could’ve benefited from this story telling technique as well and it was a crime that Babs beat her to the punch with Batman Endgame: Batgirl #1 (ironically the best issue of the Burnside run).
So yeah these factors are the reason why I’m saying to those who are naysayers of Batgirls to GET THIS ISSUE! You want Batgirls in a mature story telling sense without the kiddie style or narration boxes? Then vote with your wallets and show them by buying this issue!
Further, if you want more Cass content (I mean we are getting it but to showcase your love of the character) then well it is January (her birthday month). What better way then to buy this issue? Heck buy two as we got an Artgerm variant

And an amazing Dan Hipp is doing the 1:25 variant:

Trust me. You won’t be disappointed with this issue. I have a feeling this is probably going to be THE Cass story we’ll be talking about this year.
