#doing detective work

Alright, okay, so, I want to talk about a hypothetical, completely fake scenario, just to see what people would do in a certain situation. We need to do a little criminology research here.

Let's say, you're a ratty little woman who hates money, and also hates banks, and just, hates banks more. But you also need money to buy some land so you save some money and you have to put it somewhere. So you do what you're told not to - you hide your life savings in a sock. And you're like 'nothing is gonna happen to it' because of course you know, you don't believe in bad things happening to you.

And so, if your let's say, roommate, were to steal, I don't know, more than half of it, and you notice, only eventually because you don't even check because you're so sure it's going to be fine, it's been fine for years-- how would you prove it was her? And you know she took the money more than once. It disappeared from your wallet sometimes too. This is a repeated offense that you didn't realize was not just 'you miscounting'.

You're home at almost all times, because you're chronically ill, so the money is safe while you're in there. The only time the money could potentially be accessed is - while you're at work, twice a week, or while you're out foraging, or in the shower. The roommate who you're 99% sure is the culprit, is often at school while you're at work, so openings to steal are scarce. You know almost nothing about her because she hides in her room and never talks to you. She's also 17 and you have the phone number for her mother - but her mother trusts her completely, and doesn't know you well. You could involve the police, but you don't think it will bring your money back and also you hate police down to your guts. What you need is a skill in detecting, luring, and trapping the little thief red handed.

What do you do?

Saw IV and V but make it one of those classic children's cartoons

[carebeardean]

Charles has always left Edwin little notes slipped between the pages of his favorite books, in his science equipment, places he knows Edwin loves. Just silly things—post its that say “hi Edwin :)”. doodles of Edwin with his nose stuck in a book. reminders to stock up on wolfsbane. but.

Then, post canon, Edwin tentatively starts dating people. And it’s ridiculous, because Edwin’s right there, all the time, but Charles..misses him a bit. And his heads a mess, and he can’t sort out what the hell he’s feeling most of the time, and whenever he tries to say any of it out loud it comes out rubbish.

So. He writes down some of the shit he can’t say right, and because he’s a coward, hides them so he doesn’t have to see Edwin’s face when he reads them.

then Edwin starts writing back.

Neat lilac blue little envelopes appear in Charles coat pockets. In his bag. Once, in his shoe? Some nights, Edwin will clear his throat and mention something from a letter, offhand, like they’re just picking up conversation, and Charles can pretend they are. That they always have talked about the basement, the belt, the nameless fear that chokes him every time Edwin walks out the door with someone else on his arm.

Sometimes he can’t. The words get stuck in his throat. Edwin’s not mad, he’s maddeningly, stubbornly kind about it, which is worse.

Some nights they trade. A secret for a secret. Charles learns about the novels Edwin used to hide under his mattress, about all the lonely years before Charles got there. About Simon.

Meanwhile, Edwin is losing his mind, because Charles has accidentally stumbled onto what was a fucking courting ritual in his time. Love letters were something engaged couples treasured for years, kept and reread over and over. (Edwin does. keep them in a special box, will take one out and trace the words, tuck it in his breast pocket for courage).

Edwin would rather have to reattach a limb again than lose Charles trust, all the dark and beautiful things he shares with Edwin only. He knows—knows Charles doesn’t mean to make him fall more in love with him.

Okay you can 1000% and completely ignore me if you want BUT I was wondering if you were still taking requests.... a Halloweeny Pokémon crossover where Charles has a Gengar?? 🫶🏼 I just think it would be neat

I'm sorry but also I have no regrets

doing chibi is a good design exercise bc it forces u to think on shapes n essential details, essentially thumbnailing ur designs. its also a terrible design exercise bc it ends up looking cute no matter what

as promised, the spy x fam parody AU

I had some fun thinking about this like 2 years ago and only made a couple of sketches at the time.. but then I started cleaning them up last month and before I knew it, it spiraled out of control to become this monstrosity. I can't help it, as you can all tell by now, I love coming up with scenarios to get all my little guys interacting with each other

some details i didn't put in:

the Kudou parents are absent like in the show

whatever is happening on Haibara's end is probably super messed up but I haven't thought of any of the details

Akai gets fancy tech stuff, like the voice changer, from Agasa. Agasa comes to help babysit Conan sometimes and he gives him all his little gadgets. Akai hasn't said anything about it but figures he could use it considering the amount of crime he comes across

the facility shinichi was in is like in the original story, it exists to research esp to create super soldiers which is why he knows everything he knows

Conan regularly eavesdrops on Akai and Rei's top secret phone calls which is how he learns their real names. He can't help it, he has really good hearing

Conan and Subaru have different last names because Conan thinks "Okiya" is lame and wants to keep the one he made up on the spot. Their story is that when Subaru and Conan's mother (Edogawa Fumiyo) married, they both kept their own last names and Conan was given Edogawa when he was born. They've kept it this way to "remember Conan's dead mother"
