The fact that Julia Montauk's and Trevor Herbert's statements are each one right after the other is such a cute detail <3

Bad movie I have Dressed to Kill 1946

Prelude to Murder

Sherlock Holmes – Prelude to Murder (aka Dressed to Kill) (1946) starring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce Holmes: Somehow, the tune… is the key to the mystery. It must be the tune. Otherwise, why use three musical boxes to convey the message? Why not collar boxes, or shoe boxes?  (more…)

I so desperately need to know why protocol verse trevor herbert is like that. maybe he and his brother got lucky this go around and were both adopted into a rich family? maybe his birth family were actually hoity toity this whole time and his dad just kicked the bucket a lot earlier so things were mostly fine? maybe something... spooky? he was attending eton and making political connections at roughly the same time that archives verse trevor was watching his brother's murder, killing his first vampire, and developing a life long substance problem to cope with it all. mr trevor herbert mp, as a personal favor to me would you please make a vague reference to the wellbeing of your older brother, nigel herbert.

[theshiningcrusader]

redoing pockets family a bit because he canonically has 4 younger sisters 2 brothers and a baby of undetermined sex (baby audrey)

Lydia- Not the smartest of them, but was smart enough to leave the second she could. Married to a Spanish man, family doesn't agree with the life style but don't stop it.

Beatrice- Laid back artist type, got estranged from the family after being caught with another woman (romantically). Most of the younger kids don't remember her.

Cynthia- In college! She's very silly but likely the smartest education wise. Is not street smart, would fall for any scam thrown at her tbh.

Theodora- Little punk ass middle schooler, who wants to be like her 'cooler older cousin Estella'. Just kind of a little jerk but she grows up to be better trust.

Jane- Child of an affair. Herberts favorite, has a speech issue but powers through it. Wants to take care of her siblings, despite her age. (Also thinks Herbert is her favorite.)

Luanne- Has issues reading and writing due to not being properly taught, Herbert stays behind to teach her. Self proclaimed horse girl but for rabbits. Really sweet little thing!! Has an almost unibrow, but that's OK she's very lovely

Kirin- likes bugs and the color pink. Wild child, crawls on all fours and tries to scare family. Terrified of people outside of it, and will often hide behind and older sibling to be away from strangers

Alec- Perfect Peter except it's only the parents that treat him as such.

Nigel- Horrid Henry except it's only the parents that treat him as such.

Audrey- little baby girl. Always fussy, and is a big biter. Has Beatrices stuffed horse plush.

(If you ask questions about them I jump in the air btw)

yet another Arthur spy AU fic for @chocolatecak3

at an abandoned warehouse next to NIMH, Nigel,Patrick were having their first meeting as the organization of M.A.L.V.I.E. Mr Herbert Haney and Nigels Younger sister Prodentia Ratburn were there also

"i call this meeting to order" said Nigel banging on a gavel

"where did you get the gavel" said Patrick

"not important now me and Patrick have broken into NIMH and we discovered this" said Nigel

he placed a journal on the table

"what is it" said Mr Haney

"Dr Boxlitners notes" said Nigel

"Did you buy the gavel" interrupted Patrick

Agine not important, now he invented a way to brainwash mice for them to follow commands so using these notes ive invented this" said Nigel

he placed a helmet like device on the table

"its a electromagnetic brain altering helmet now i just need a volunteer oh wait i have one" said Nigel

he took out from his pocket a white mouse

"this is Squeaky Dr Boxlitners pet mouse i will place the helmet on him and just push this button" said nigel

there was a flash and Squeaky just stared blankly

"Squeaky walk across the table" Nigel commanded

Squeaky did as he was told

"its genuis we could easily defeat Patty and A.L.T.E.R and take over the world whos with me'

i am" said Patrick

'"We are." said the rest of the members

any questions" said Nigel

"just one" said Patrick

"if its anything about the gavel" said nigel

patrick just slouched in his seat

"fine i got off the internet" said Nigel

"thank you" said Patrick

"we shall now commence our take over of the world' said Nigle

everyone cheered except Mr Haney

"ive got a bad feeling about this" said Mr Haney

MAG10 - Vampire Killer

*turns around in the most ugliest coolest yellowest office chair like a Bond villain, petting a baguette-shaped cushion* so, you came here from MAG9 without expecting the whiplash. Don't worry, you are not alone lmao

Trevor Herbert is like a homeless Chuck Norris, a shaggy Terminator, a Van Helsing lite (the Hugh Jackman one, not the original). He looks in your head like the dog in The Lady and The Tramp but in human version.

And the very first thing this mf says when he writes his statement is "I've been procrastinating this shit for 50 years, but hey, I finally came to the Magnus Institute". So better late than never and all that jazz.

Quoooooooting timeeeee:

"I hear someone even made me a page on the Internet and it got a few thousand likes. I don’t know exactly what that means but it sounds nice." - Trevor Herbert, July 10th 2010

Aww, doesn't he sound nice? :D

"Obviously that’s not why I’m here, though, is it? No, I’m here because I have also dedicated my life to finding and killing vampires." - Also f*cking Trevor

Sorry u wHAT

" (...) but I do not have proof to give you except for the vampire teeth that I will leave with this statement." - Trevor "I brought you a souvenir" Herbert

" I killed my first vampire in 1959." - Trevor Herbert, THE LEGEND THE MAN THE MYTH

You wish you sound as badass xD

"I was hit by a stale, coppery smell that I did not recognise as old blood at the time, since I was barely 16 and did not have then the experience I have now." - Trevor, barely 16 but already a poet

I find upsetting how many statement givers were so young they didn't know they were smelling blood.

"The furniture and wallpaper had clearly not been changed in many decades, and a thick layer of dust covered everything." - Trevor, 16, also an offended interior designer

LOL the landlord when he tells you " I just painted everything, it's all new"

"I remember wondering whether Sylvia McDonald walked exactly the same route through the house always, as I saw other clear lines of passage in the rooms we passed through." - Trevor "WTF" Herbert

" It was 1968, I remember because that was the year United won the European Cup, (...)" - Trevor "Yes, I'm British, why u asking?" Herbert

"I do not know if you’ve ever felt your blood being sucked out of you, but I would not recommend it." - By Trevor, 0/5, no stars

"Regardless, there is substantial evidence to support the version of events told by Mr. Herbert in all aspects except the vampirism." - Jon Sims, April 13th 2016

He really said "I believe everything except the vampire bullshit" XD

"(...) It may be that they take Mr. Herbert’s statement far more seriously than I do." - Also Jon

He sees that a lot of government and law people takes this statement seriously and goes "hm how weird, why tho, it's all bullshit"

Small review:

The vampires in the tma universe are so freaking weird, disturbing of course, personally I can't really tell if they are scary tho, but I'm certain they are a mystery.

Gotta say, RIP Nigel, he seemed nice :(

I must admit Trevor is quite an interesting figure, he's intelligent and resourceful, can do much with almost nothing and put together every piece of information he has in a way he can reach a satisfactory conclusion. And then he just sticks with it. There are these monsters, which I know how to kill, and so I do it. Simple. Efficient. Practical as hell.

This is also the second time going clubbing has ended horribly for someone in tma, and honestly? Wtf

This guy just die in the break room, like, lmao. He really said "no time like the present, may as well reach supersaiyan state in that couch over ther", and he fucking did it

And then Jon ends everything by showing a lot of evidences while acting the sceptic part and it's so goddamn funny. He should be a comedian.

General overview:

Vibe: this one is so fucking wild, nice homeless grandpa ends up being the modern Van Helsing and "dies" in a couch at paranormal research institute. Iconic

Horror: there are cryptids in it, that's horror genre coded

Audio: pretty ASMR in general

Humour: hilarious Terminator Grandpa, feat.Jon being Jon

Score: 10/10
