literally the biggest flirt alive
made and designed SEVERAL custom shoes and slippers that are practical and pretty for audrey rose because she missed wearing her slippers because of her injury
not to mention had a special dragon knob cane with a hidden blade inside made for audrey rose so that she'll always have a piece of him with her no matter where she is or if she's in danger (i need him so bad plss)
he is mischief personified
is a feminist
lets audrey rose be free and do whatever she pleases and is so supportive of whatever she does
never EVER thinks of audrey rose as less than just because she's a woman

"I will love you until the world stops spinning or my heart ceases to beat, Thomas Cresswell. Even then I'm not sure my love will ever be content to leave you."

i think one of my favourite things about stalking jack the ripper is the well written way in which men influence audrey roseโs life and how that plays into her relationship with thomas
one of my favourite moments in the whole series is when she pulls the dagger out of the cane in ctd, and she says โthomas. my brilliant, cunning, prepared man.โ
itโs the climax of HER series, and sheโs fighting the final obstacle alone. there isnโt going to be some man who swoops in to save her and the day and fix everything, as it should be. but unlike so many other series that butcher the strong female trope, love and moments of weakness and relying on others are never seen as a bad thing. audrey so often saves the day, not because some some author has had a man do all the work and then pawn the victory on to the woman or because sheโs some cold loner who refuses any sort of connection (which isnโt always a bad thing but something commonly criticized), but because she actively relies on people and eventually allows them in. throughout the whole series her mental impacts are acknowledged, she opens up to thomas, she relies on liza and daciana and ileana. and this is how the series is able to maintain an empowering tone despite its time period.
itโs through this willingness to let other people in that audrey is able to move through her worlds restrictions, and this is how the men in her life are written so well, (doing what they can in the context of the time they live in). from her uncle to her father, no man ever does anything for her. sheโs simply given opportunities to prove herself (which are also huge privileges but we know how rare even that was in her time), to do what sheโs always been able to do, but not always been able to have the stage to show it. in efh she acknowledges how her uncle and thomas have given her an opportunity, not just merely allowed her to be there on a whim but given her a way to prove its where she belongs, and given her their trust and faith in her skills.
and thats why i love that scene from ctd, its such a beautiful culmination of audrey rose and thomasโs relationship. its a blatant acknowledgment of how he learned to care for her in way that doesnโt smother her, how he actively learned and grew from their conflict in hpd. thomas doesnโt defeat the enemy for her, hell he isnโt even there, but he still finds a way to help her. he doesnt take over from her, doesnt tell her what to do, his love and care keep her up and give her what she needs to get things done on her own, a running theme in the series. the people she loves are consistently there for her, and give her the strength to get things done on her own. arguably the most beautiful symbol is the cane itself, how its existence is a reminder of thomas and it gives her strength, not because heโs there to take over for her, but because even a reminder of his love and support for her is enough to give her a boost to be successful in her own right
tl;dr i just really love how the men in the series donโt see women as fragile and in need of a saviour, but as capable people sometimes in need of a leg up or a shoulder to rely on

Just finished capturing the devil, and I have just one thought: Thomas Cresswell the man that you are. He is the best book boyfriend ever, and also super underrated

yesterday was audrey roseโs husband (thomas cresswell)โs birthday and we can never forget his love for her is a constant in a sea of unknown variables and that they may fight or be cross with each other, but their love will never fade or wilt, because โbeyond life, beyond death, my love for thee is eternalโ

Thomas, accepting a prize for a discovery: I want to thank my beautiful wife Audrey Rose, her uncle doctor Jonathan Wadsworth, my sister and her wi- very good friend, Miss Harvey and of course myself.
Thomas: NO THANKS to Mephistopheles whatever-your-last-name-is. I know where you live. In your big carnival on some fancy boat. You better watch your ass

2024 books - hunting prince dracula (stalking jack the ripper #2) by kerri maniscalco
White, red, evil, green. What haunts these woods stays unseen Dragons roam and take to air. Cut down those who are near his lair. Eat your meat and drink your blood. Leave remains in the tub. Bone white, blood red. Along this path you'll soon be dead.

The โJack the Ripperโ series by Kerri Maniscalo has my entire heart. Iโm on a murder mystery kick and like brooooo, Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell have invaded every part of my waking brain. They compliment each other so much and itโs also 1800 London?!?! Need I say more?!?!

"Still so violent I see." He lifted a shoulder. "I'm sure you make Thomas a very happy man. I always imagined his tastes were a bit depraved-what with all those dead bodies".

One of the very first book series I read at the start of my journey was the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. Ever since then, itโs been very near and dear to my heart, especially Audrey Rose Wadsworth. Sheโs such an inspiration and I love everything about her, and itโs always a joy to reread and see her journey. I love how sheโs a forensic pathologist, and itโs always so fascinating reading about her and her love for what she does. I also love that she isnโt afraid to be girly and always enjoys stunning and beautiful dresses, despite her macabre job. I seriously cannot get enough of this beautiful piece by the insanely awesome and talented @lauriques who added such gorgeous and fitting elements I didnโt even think of! She truly made this piece come to life and I cannot thank her enough for taking my request!

Thomas James Dorin Cresswell ๐ค William Sherlock Scott Holmes (down to the anxious pacing and "obviously" deductions)
Audrey Rose Wadsworth ๐ค John Hamish Watson (down to the limp and the cane and being the muscle)
Hence proved, Cressworth ๐ค Johnlock
