i swear to god. i thought i was losing my mind. i could faintly hear someone speaking like they were standing right outside my walls. but every time i looked out no one was there. then i started hearing music. true fear is an ominous threat of darude’s sandstorm at 08:43 pm on a friday in september from an unknown origin. i swear the bass is in my floorboards. i can smell the sweat soaked towels being flung through the air. i am alone in my living room & my dog is sleeping soundly & i can hear an announcer from the void of the backyard telling me to “pump it up! let’s make some noise!” but they remain formless. nothing else is making a sound, not even the crickets.

my heart is thumping through my chest. i am pacing a circle into the carpet as i check each window. the street lamps dimly show an empty street, & none of my neighbors have any lights on. i begin to believe i have finally snapped, & sanity is crumbling through my fingers with all the grace of a slinky down the stairs.

until i remembered i live less than a mile from the local high school.

anyway go team & also the tubas are fucking it UP

Ah Gothic Featheringtons, how I have missed you! Now all I can imagine is poor Colin not only having to be wary of Felicity and her shotgun but also Prudence challenging him to a duel.

You know, the funny thing is that I hc that Colin is the best fencer among his family. It mainly comes from that one line in season 2 when Anthony tells Colin that Benedict honors him by not holding back. That leads me to believe Colin does hold back mainly because Anthony is a sore loser and is better at fencing than he shows.

So I like to imagine the first time Prudence does this to him he doesn't hold back mainly because she got him by surprise, and he doesn't think too. Prudence also doesn't care for the padding like these English men do. She'll full out duel in a full ballgown if they let her.

Prudence cheers at the revelation that Colin is good at fencing because, finally! A worthy challenger!

The other Featherington ladies just watch on as Colin and Prudence duel throughout the house.

Colin will lay against his wife later, trying to figure out Philippa is gonna pull out next. He knows about his wife's pension for writing and knives. He knows Portia gravitated towards poison and potions. Felicity prefers her shotgun and duel pistols. Prudence has her swordplay. But what about Philippa?

Penelope giggles, but let's her husband think, knowing full well Philippa gravitates towards creatures like insects and animals. He has yet to meet Kitty, their pet Jaguar, or Sir Snakespeare, their per python.

oh to be an unsupervised kid left to roam the local forests and eventually, become friends with the eldritch being hiding in the distant shadows (it looks like a frog) (it has treats for u)

Tw for slight gore (a preserved heart, but no blood)

Here’s the antagonist in The Case Files, Edgar Wick! He honestly had the biggest rewrite of everyone, mainly just fleshing out his character more and getting rid of his old nickname because I don’t like it

A masked festival, a heated moment beneath a curtain, hidden identities, confrontations between friends and enemies…
