#sid carter headcanons

[curiosityshop]

Thinking again about this post again thanks to a new (to me) period mystery / drama I’m watching.

Just. Sid being shipped off to Kembleford once the government catches up to him. He’s standing in a line with the other children, waiting. The good looking kids go first. Then the strong ones.

He’s the last child standing and then a gentle, firm voice says those magic words, “I’ll take that one.” He finds himself face to face with the village’s new priest who takes his hand and then leads him back to the presbytery where the parish secretary immediately tells him to wash up for dinner.

FATHER BROWN HEADCANON

Sid Carter's grandmother was Father Brown's parish secretary before Mrs. McCarthy, and he went to stay with her whenever his parents' fights became violent (which was often). This is how Sid and the Father first met.

Hello. I read the "stealing Mallorys policr car while drunk" and not only did it make my day but also how would Inspector Sullivan react. He's such a distant, work driven man you'd need to do something drastic to get his attention. 😅🤣🤣 maybe even needing Sids help to hot wire it.

Hope you have an excellent week x

😂 I hope that you like it!

Stealing Inspector Sullivan’s car while drunk would include:

•desperate times call for desperate measures- and this in Sid’s opinion was definitely a desperate time!

•it’s been weeks that he’s had to listen to you pining after the attentions of the emotionally elusive inspector. And Sid does have to admit, you have been trying for his attention, by flirting and smiling and making him baked goods, but all to no avail.

•but Sid just can’t take it anymore. He’s marginally more sober than you, and he’s spent the whole night listening to you lament your feelings for the policeman.

•it’s actually his idea to steal the car- he’s guiding your drunken self home when he causally jokes that it’d be funny to steal his car as you’re going right past it…he didn’t think you’d take the idea literally! But you did.

•before Sid had even realised that you’d let go of him and wobbled off you’d managed to pick the door lock and were sat in the passenger seat staring at him expectantly. He tried to tell you no, but then your lips started to wobble and he could see that tears were imminent and he couldn’t deal with that- so he hotwired the car, and as he was more sober than you, he drove the car back to your house.

•what neither of you realised because you were far too drunk to have been in control of a vehicle really, was that you’d driven over an open tin of paint, and had left and unmissable, bright yellow track from near the Inspector’s house, all the way across the town to yours.

•the following morning when the sun started to filter through your curtains you couldn’t help but try to bury your head beneath your pillows. But that escape didn’t work, not when you heard a car horn blaring from right outside your house.

•carefully, with a great deal of light stepping to avoid jostling your tender head, you made your way outside- only to come face to face with a distraught, angry and confused Inspector Sullivan. Distraught because of the paint on the car. Angry because you STOLE it! And confused as to why you’d do it.

•he immediately launches into questioning you, but you can’t answer anything until after you’ve had some painkillers.

•when you bashfully confess to him that you stole the car (omitting Sid’s assistance in the matter) to get his attention he immediately stills and his anger fades. He takes your hands in his and simply says that if you wanted his attention and his affection all you had to do was ask.

•from then on the two of you have a new understanding and a blooming relationship…but you’re not allowed anywhere near his car.

Sid Carter is the ADHD to Sullivan's autism in the same way Sam is the ADHD to Sister Boniface's autism.

had a sid carter-coded moment and just lost half a biscuit in my tea

[kemblefordsfinest]

Pretty sure that modern AU Sid absolutely introduces Sullivan and the Father to BattleBots, and it's now A Thing that they all watch together and get ridiculously excited over. 😂

i am OBSESSED with ur trans sid and nb marianne concepts you’re a genius thank you for creating them and if you ever have any hcs i would LOVE to hear

(-regencypoet lmao)

OMG IM SO SORRY I DIDNT ANSWER THIS SOONER JHFJASDHF

i have. so many headcanons and i would be glad to share

- marianne is a nonbinary lesbian who says "fuck you" to gender (much like their father flambeau), her pronouns are she/they

- sid and marianne are best friends i will not be taking any criticism

- sid found out that marianne was trans bc bunty thought that their binder was sids, so bunty was like “oi sid heres ur binder” and sid was like “what my binder is white??” and marianne is just like “uh. thats. thats mine lol”

- marianne’s binder is red

- cue the three of them having a big wholesome discussion and marianne feels so so loved

- sid always makes sure marianne is binding safely and if they ever forget and wear it for too long sid offers her one of his shirts bc theyre big and roomy and perfect for dysphoria

- sid doesn’t bind all that often

- marianne and sid have designated “tits out” days where they dont bind or wear shirts and they just stay inside and watch movies all day

- its basically a religious holiday for them

- mrs mccarthy is the most supportive mother ever and she loves her trans kids so much

- actually it was mrs mccarthy who made their binders for them. shes a whizz at making clothes and her binders are the safest binders out there

- bunty takes marianne out shopping when they come out because “no way in hell am i gonna let my partner run around in sids old work clothes, we’re gonna go buy you some well-fitting, non stained shirts and slacks”

- sid tries to act indignant but eventually realises that bunty is in fact right, and tags along with them

- cue the trio wearing matching suits and looking iconic af

one day im gonna have to write a fic abt this asjdhfhjaksf

[leotanaka]

rewatching season 3 at the moment just reminded me that when this season first aired... and i cannot for the life of me remember why but i actually had a headcanon that sid had been a spy during the war or had some kind of ties with the secret service.

...really wish i could remember why i was so certain of it at the time. 

[sidneycarter]

I’ve decided that:

Sid’s celebrity crush is Cary Grant

Sullivan’s celebrity crush is James Dean

My evidence:

that’s it. they have a type, your honour.

[jlbilu]

I’m missing al the Father Brown fandom thing and I feel frustrated. But also it awakes strong emotions I don’t think I can bear right now

Sid coming home from prison to you? He's still in that sort of frantic mindset, and a bit resentful like in The Sins of Others? x

Hope you like it!

Sid coming home from prison to you would include:

•you’re his saving grace really. It’s you that he’s desperate to get out and see, of course he wants to see his friends too, but it’s you most of all.

•so you set up a lovely lunch, a full roast dinner with all the trimmings and as many bottles of beer as you could carry- all of which you set up in Sid’s caravan ready for his return. (You’d both agreed that that’s where you’d meet. So you could be truly alone).

•that first time he held you in his arms he felt sure that he’d never known peace or joy like it.

•he ate like a man starving, you laughed like never before and held each other close. The problems, as it were, didn’t really pop up until the next day when you were back among the people of Kembleford.

•as you walked down the street together you could see the old dears turning to one another and gossiping. It got under Sid’s skin a bit, so you tried to soothe him by holding his hand and whispering words of encouragement, but it made him a bit skittish.

•over the course of the day his resentment and distance got worse as he noticed that he’s missed so much since he’s been inside- like for instance that you wear your hair ever so slightly differently, that Father Brown has new shoes, that Mrs M has a new hat etc- it’s all these little things that just add up to him feeling aloof and left behind and forgotten about.

•he feels left out when there’s a joke made referring to an event while he was away.

•he is lost when a film he didn’t get to see is mentioned.

•all of which results in him spending more time alone, apart from all of you. So you do the only logical thing, you’re so concerned that you go to Father Brown. You know that if anyone can reach Sid through his haze of sorrow and disillusion it’ll be the Father.

•after talking to Father Brown, Sid comes home with a small bunch of flowers and an apology that you just brush away, because he doesn’t need to be sorry! Instead you make a pact that instead of him going lone-wolf and feeling alone, that he would talk to you and together you’d find a solution. As you sealed the deal with a kiss both of you you couldn’t help but feel things were starting to look up.

Groovy Headcanon

Sid has always been a mischievous kid. And one of his diatribes ended up with all the teacups of the presbytery house broken. To avoid Mrs. M's wrath, he produced her a nice set of mugs like this...

... in all colours of the rainbow, naturally. 🥰🏳️‍🌈

It took her some years to get the reference, but she loves the gift and keeps the mugs all the same.

[bisidneycarter]

oh my goddd domestic sid/sullivan thought re: making tea (the drink not the meal lol)

much like father brown, sid likes his tea Sweet™️. so when sullivan makes it, appalled at the amount sid adds, he tries very slowly and carefully to cut down the sugar intake in his tea. lowering from three cubes, to two and a half, to two. only he never makes it past two cubes before sid catches him out, complaining it’s not sweet enough.

on the flip side, sid is very used to putting sugar in tea. and despite how sweet (no pun intended) he is gonna be in behind the bars with remembering that sullivan does Not take sugar, he more often than not forgets, makes tea on autopilot, and feels highly offended when sullivan delicately spits out the sickly sweet tea (as delicately as one can spit out tea, because it’s sullivan).

If the Presbytery Crew Had Superpowers

I was scrolling through the Superpowers Wiki the other night and couldn’t help myself.  None of these are really a surprise, but it was fun to put names to some of the things they already do.

Father Brown: I was torn between Enhanced Wits and Retrocognition, because obviously the man’s a genius who can practically see into the past.  Team Combinations, though, while not technically a one-person superpower, also seems to fit.  There wouldn’t be a presbytery crew without the Father, after all, and it’s never just his skills that go into solving a case.

Mrs. McCarthy: Time Stopping.  There’s no way she gets all of her parish secretarying done and finds the occasional body and makes award-winning scones without occasionally stretching an hour or two out.  Perhaps this is why villages like Kembleford can feel so sedate; there’s a Mrs. McCarthy around hitting pause on the flow of time every few days.

Lady Felicia: Paper Manipulation.  Not just in terms of money (but, naturally, in terms of money), but in terms of documents.  The slick way she slides important forms that aren’t hers into her handbag isn’t stealing, it’s artistry.

Sid: First, Pheromone Manipulation.  This requires no explanation, because it’s Sid.  A close second is Access Manipulation, though in his case I would expand the definition to mean not just access to places (e.g. lock-picking prowess) but to people.  Lady Felicia could also count this as a minor superpower for herself under this definition, given her knack for maneuvering people. 

Sullivan: Self-detonation.  Some of Sullivan’s best moments are when he’s been cramming down all of his emotions and reactions until he can’t hold them anymore, and then just explodes.  This explosion is often highly effective, albeit with collateral damage to his relationships with others.  Note that Sullivan’s emotional explosions can encompass things other than anger/upset.  Sudden and unexpected love confessions, anyone?

i’m once again thinking about my favourite bastard trans guy, sid carter.

(am i projecting my transness onto sid bc i gender envy him? Bitch Maybe)
