[bonefall]

God the bumble situation is so painful. I don’t think I realised how weird and bad it was when I first read it but yeah,, maybe it doesn’t register to people as as violent because they’re cats but multiple scratches has to be pretty serious and intentional.

ALSO why is “she wouldn’t fit in here” such a big point against taking her in?? I don’t remember but does anyone suggest the super obvious answer, which is to take her in and find her a suitable living arrangement? Maybe this is just me being a human and knowing that multiple humans in town would absolutely adore her but it really feels like the obvious solution to the problem to get her out of the situation, have her live with the cats temporarily, and either have her stay if she can handle it (and be taken care of as jagged peak is) or help her find a new home if she wants to go

Second also- it’s so clear that the Erins treat: being fat as a conscious choice which is worthy of ridicule. I thought of the jkr comparison and then saw your tag and was like thank god it’s not just me. It’s also clear that the Erins, consciously or not, think a little bit of xenophobia is okay and that eugenics, rather than being both fundamentally incorrect and deeply morally wrong, is sometimes right but bad because it’s mean

Sorry for ranting but your reading dotc has stirred all this up

Come! Let us rip into the Bumble Situation. It is never too late for fury.

I think a lot of people don't register it because of how the narrative is ripping into her for being fat and dramatic, to the point of even treating her domestic abuse injuries like tiny little scratches she's just whining about.

Tom waits for the humans to be looking the other way, and then BEATS her. He does it intentionally, and purposefully. There's so much about this situation that makes me feel sick, but I keep wrapping back around to Tom being given a redemption death, and avenged by his children.

Bumble is cold in her grave and Tom gets to have a loving sendoff. The man responsible for kidnapping children, getting Turtle killed, and assaulting a defenseless molly.

And Jagged Peak. The way he shows up just to insult her weight, and then is totally quiet as every insecurity he's ever experienced about his role in Clan life is used AS A WEAPON to throw someone out in front of his face...

"She won't belong" "she's useless" "she'll eat all our food and catch nothing"

It could have been used to talk about how ableism affects EVERYONE. Even the 'good' people you deem 'worthy'.

"No no Jagged Peak, you're not useless-"

"I can't hunt. Im just like bumble"

"No you're not because... you're my brother!"

"So I AM useless, Clear Sky was right, you ARE just playing favorites!"

It is impossible to use it as a weapon without being hypocritical about its application. Is disability bad, gross, and undesirable, or is it not?

[very-gay-alkyrion]

I would like to offer Margaret "Rest in Piss" Thatcher for consideration, if that cunt Reagan is already taken.

You are granted a time machine and the ability to prevent one birth (or commit a murder up to you), don't worry about the butterfly effect, we want the butterfly effect that's part of the point. Your actions will prevent them from ever rising to prominence. No he's not here, because it'd be too much of a sweep, pick your second choice if you're wondering where he is

Hi, may i ask for a Rottmnt Yandere blurb where the Mc knows how to professionally dance?

Like they can do ball room dances, the tango, belly dances, and other stuff like that?

You dont have tho

Remember to drink water.

-Anon

As someone who took ballet and tap dancing for 5 years, I can already hear the screaming of "keep your posture straight" in my mind.

Jokes on you I hate water. It has no taste. The only time it's good is when it's hot af outside and you desperately need that ice-cold water.

Tw: nothing really except creepy documenting

✦Rarara -ah-ah roma roma ma ma✦

Is amazed at how fluid you can move and keep your movements right on the beat. Especially in ball dancing as it uses a 3/4 time signature movement (typically). Dancing is difficult in some terms for him as his shell already barely fits his body. If you teach him a little he's gonna be all blushy.

✦Levitating Toes✦

Joins in oftentimes. Likes to piss you off by hitting your ankle with his foot. Will aggressively push anybody who's dancing with you to take their place. No, he does not care that he ruined the steps. He's better, so don't care about them. Enjoys the more energetic ones rather than the slow-tempo ones.

✦Dutch Tulips of Margaret Thatcher✦

Fucking loves it. Will always join in. Prefers the ones where you can do it as a couple (like tango or ballroom). Worries over your muscles and ankles after each time though (*cough* pointe *cough cough*). Similar to Leo, he'll shove anyone out of the way. He's going to be the one to dance with you! He likes to memorize any choreographed dances.

✦Migraines Free for the Orphans✦

Documents everything. Pictures, videos, hell even downloads the music. Just vibes. May or may not be dancing with you, but likes to do it on the sidelines. He would rather focus on you than enjoy himself because he already is. If anyone tries to interrupt he will scream at them to leave. You're gracing the world with your dancing, no one gets to interrupt it!

(Which name do you think has the potential to be added to the gang that I've created so far? Maybe Levitating Toes?)

TW: Jimmy Savile, sexual abuse and exploitation, child abuse, psychological trauma, hospitals and terminal illness, manipulation and gaslighting, death and grief

Jimmy Savile and Margaret Thatcher at Mandeville Hospital (1977):

"The nurses tell the children to pretend to sleep when Savile came to visit."

Identification: Gaunt Scout

Lead Researcher: Dr. Öctavio Kalev

Abomination #: ANM-622-KV

Classification: Neutralized ✖️

Type of Anomaly: Manifesting, historical, humanoid

Type of Damage: Trauma, psychological, auditory, dream-related, public, child-related

Containment: ANM-622 must be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell located in Department-██. The cell should be constructed of reinforced steel and equipped with infrared and motion-activated cameras to monitor any erratic behavior inside. The lights within ANM-622's containment area should be kept at a minimum of 1000 lumens to deter the entity's activity.

An emergency set of strobe lights is installed outside the containment chamber and can be activated remotely by authorized personnel in case of any containment breach or unusual activity. Thermal sensors are positioned around the perimeter of ANM-622's cell to detect any abnormal temperature fluctuations. Any personnel assigned to observe ANM-622 must do so from a separate, sealed observation room.

Direct interaction with ANM-622 should be limited to testing protocols authorized by at least two Level 3 staff members. No one under the age of 18 is permitted within 30 meters of ANM-622's containment area at any time, including other anomalies. Any reports of ANM-622 appearing outside its containment cell should be treated as a potential containment breach, and immediate lockdown procedures must be enacted.

Description: ANM-622 is a humanoid entity resembling an extremely emaciated elderly man, approximately 3.92 meters tall, weighing 120 kilograms. Its skin is abnormally pale, with the bones of its ribs, shoulders, and limbs visibly protruding beneath the surface. The entire body of ANM-622 is covered with fine, depigmented hair, except for sparse reddish patches in certain areas of the chest, groin, and arms. The eyes are disproportionately large and dark, with severely dilated pupils, suggesting a high sensitivity to light.

The entity's posture is typically hunched, likely to facilitate movement in narrow spaces. Its chest is deformed, with a pronounced sunken area near the sternum consistent with pectus excavatum. ANM-622's hands are characterized by abnormally long fingers, each of similar length, including an extended thumb that is disproportionately long. The nails are thick, discolored, and sharp at the tips.

Behavior: ANM-622 exhibits a compulsion to observe human subjects through windows, with a particular focus on children. It is more active during nighttime or in low-light conditions, including rainy weather. When ANM-622 identifies a potential subject, it approaches the nearest window offering a clear view and begins to tap on the glass with one of its long fingers. The tapping sound produced is notably louder than expected, resonating with a deep "click" that unnaturally reverberates throughout the surrounding area.

Once ANM-622 has gained the subject's attention, it will maintain eye contact, remaining outside the window and staring directly at the individual. Witnesses report an overwhelming sense of dread and an inability to look away. In cases involving children, recurring nightmares often follow the encounter, with dreams frequently depicting ANM-622 whispering, waving, or lightly touching the back of the subject's neck or shoulders. If the subject remains in place for more than five minutes or continues to focus on ANM-622, the entity will attempt to vocalize. The sounds produced are a mixture of guttural noises, harsh breathing, and clicks, none of which resemble any known language. Prolonged exposure to these sounds has led to reported symptoms, including temporary auditory hallucinations, headaches, and vertigo.

Although ANM-622 has not demonstrated the ability to physically pass through solid barriers such as windows, there are several documented cases of its appearance inside rooms under certain conditions (see Incident Report 622-2 for details). The entity does not appear to show any interest in adult subjects unless they actively interfere with its focus on a child.

[[collapsible show="+ Incident Log 622-2" hide="- Close"]]

Incident Log 622-2: Containment Breach on ██/██/20██

During a routine observation of ANM-622, the entity was observed repeatedly approaching the glass of its containment cell and tapping in a rhythmic pattern. In response, Subject P (P-9742), equipped with a tracking collar and infrared camera, was dispatched to guide ANM-622 back to its cell. As P-9742 approached the entity, he reported auditory hallucinations of a voice resembling that of his deceased grandmother, speaking to him from inside the cell.

ANM-622 then placed its hand against the glass of an adjacent observation room, resulting in a rapid dimming of the internal lights. Thermal readings showed a sudden drop in temperature of nearly 15°C, with frost forming on the interior surface of the observation room window. Despite the environmental controls indicating no changes in external conditions, P-9742 described a profound sense of comfort and an irresistible urge to approach the entity.

The situation was resolved when the supervising researcher activated the emergency strobe lights, causing ANM-622 to retreat violently and return to its containment area. Subsequent investigations revealed that the dimming of the lights was not due to any known electrical failure, and the source of the temperature drop remains unexplained.

[[/collapsible]]

Addendum 622-3: Discovery

ANM-622 was first documented following a series of reports at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, United Kingdom. The reports described cases of children waking up in the middle of the night and seeing "a tall, old man" outside their bedroom windows. Local police had previously investigated multiple occurrences of sexual abuse within the hospital, as well as erratic electrical disturbances and sudden cold spots. A recorded photograph of a vaguely humanoid silhouette outside a child's window led to the deployment of MOTHRA Institute agents for investigation.

Field agents discovered that ANM-622 exhibited a pattern of appearance in low-light conditions, primarily targeting children. Following the identification of ANM-622, Class A amnestics were administered to the affected families, and a cover story was disseminated about disturbances and local hysteria.

Addendum 622-4: Ongoing Research

Several tests have been conducted to understand ANM-622's compulsion towards children and its ability to affect the environment. Initial theories suggest that ANM-622 is attracted to feelings of fear, particularly from younger individuals, which may act as a stimulus or form of sustenance. This hypothesis is supported by observations of increased activity during heightened emotional states.

Addendum 622-5: Jimmy Savile

Researchers examined historical records involving Stoke Mandeville Hospital, and the analysis revealed multiple cases mentioning an abnormally tall and thin figure observed near orphanages, children's hospitals, and private properties associated with prominent figures.

A review of public records uncovered a disturbing pattern of unexplained occurrences and reports of a "tall, pale man" at locations connected to the late entertainer and convicted sex offender known as "Jimmy Savile," who was accused of involvement in over 400 cases of sexual abuse, including young children and terminally ill patients. The MOTHRA investigation into these reports aimed to determine whether ANM-622 had a connection to Savile's documented activities, potentially serving as an accomplice, facilitator, or a manifestation resulting from the extreme psychological trauma inflicted on his victims.

On ██/██/19██, a nurse working at the hospital reported seeing a tall and emaciated figure outside one of the children's wards at night. The nurse described a "skeletal man" hunched near a window, slowly tapping on the glass. Security footage from the night in question showed an indistinct figure matching Jimmy Savile's physical shape; no alarms were triggered, and no evidence of entry was found. The affected child, aged six, later reported having nightmares about "a tall man" who spoke to them "with voices that sounded like many people."

The hospital was a frequent destination for Savile, who was known to visit under the pretext of charity work. Similar reports from other institutions visited by Savile over the years emerged during the investigation. Most notably, these accounts included statements from children describing recurring dreams of "the man at the window," often coinciding with times when Savile was present in the same building.

Research into ANM-622's activities raised the possibility that its behavior might be connected to cases of significant psychological trauma, especially involving children. Some researchers theorize that ANM-622 may act as a "fear feeder," attracted to intense emotional distress and sustaining itself on fear, dread, or despair. The correlation between its sightings and locations associated with Jimmy Savile's abuse suggests that ANM-622 might have been drawn to the lingering trauma in these areas.

The theory further speculates that Savile himself may have been aware of ANM-622, either intentionally or subconsciously. Some survivor testimonies describe feeling an overwhelming sense of cold and a sensation of "being watched" that did not align solely with Savile's physical presence. In several instances, these descriptions were accompanied by mentions of a tall, skeletal figure in the background of the rooms.

Although there is no direct evidence linking Savile to ANM-622 beyond circumstantial connections, there is a hypothesis that ANM-622 may have manifested more frequently or with greater activity near places where Savile's crimes occurred, possibly as a reflection or amplifier of the collective trauma.

In an effort to establish more concrete evidence of ANM-622's presence, researchers conducted interviews with individuals who had been exposed to Savile's abuses and also reported sightings of a "tall man." The following excerpts summarize notable findings:

Survivor 622-A: The subject was a former patient at [REDACTED] Hospital in the early 1980s. They recalled a strange figure outside the window one night, described as "white and bony, like it was starving." The entity allegedly tapped on the glass and stared directly at the subject, who experienced recurring dreams afterward. In these dreams, the subject reported hearing Savile's voice along with a faint clicking noise that grew louder as the entity approached.

Survivor 622-B: The subject, a former resident of a children's care home visited by Savile, claimed to have seen "a very tall man" lurking near the property's outer fence at night. The subject's nightmares after the incident involved both Savile and the figure, with Savile speaking to the tall man in an incomprehensible language. The subject reported feelings of sleep paralysis and cold sweat during these dreams.

Incident 622-7: Anomalous Manifestation During Testing

On ██/██/20██, during an authorized psychological test involving ANM-622 and a Subject P with a history of childhood trauma associated with abuse, ANM-622 displayed unexpected behavior. When the subject was instructed to recount their traumatic experiences, ANM-622 approached the observation window and began tapping rapidly, producing a clicking sound described as resembling human speech when analyzed with audio software. The sound pattern, when processed, matched phonetic markers consistent with Savile's voice as recorded in archival footage.

Following this event, the room's temperature dropped abruptly, and the subject entered a catatonic state, remaining unresponsive for several hours. After recovering, the subject claimed to have heard a conversation between two distinct voices during the event: one they recognized as ANM-622's guttural tone, and the other they identified as Savile's. The nature of this connection remains speculative but suggests a deeper relationship between the entity and environments or individuals connected to extreme trauma.

[[collapsible show="+ Interview Log 622-8" hide="- Close"]]

Date: ██/██/2008

Interviewer: Dr. ███████

Interviewee: Jimmy Savile

Location: [REDACTED]

Context: Following increasing reports of an entity resembling ANM-622 manifesting at locations previously visited by Jimmy Savile, Institute personnel arranged an interview under the pretext of an investigative documentary. The aim was to assess Savile's potential knowledge of ANM-622 and its possible connection to the anomaly.

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. ███████: Thank you for agreeing to this interview, Mr. Savile. I'd like to discuss some of your charity work, particularly at hospitals and care homes. You've spent a lot of time visiting children's facilities, haven't you?

Savile: Oh yes, I've been a regular visitor to many hospitals and care homes over the years. It's always good to bring a bit of joy to the children, you know? [Smiles]. You'd be surprised how much a friendly face can do.

Dr. ███████: Yes, I'm sure. During those visits, did you ever notice anything... unusual? Perhaps something outside the buildings, or even inside?

Savile: [Laughs]. Ah, now you're talking! People always say these old places are full of ghosts, don't they? But I've never seen anything like that, unless you count the old nurses. [Winks].

Dr. ███████: Actually, I'm referring to reports from children who mentioned seeing a "tall man" outside their windows during your visits. Some described him as pale and thin, with a hollow chest. Have you ever heard anything like that?

Savile: [The smile fades slightly. He looks away before shrugging]. Children, eh? Good heavens! They have such vivid imaginations. Maybe they saw someone passing by, perhaps a gardener or a security guard. Kids get frightened by all sorts of things when they're stuck in those beds, poor little things.

Dr. ███████: Some of these reports also mentioned unusual sensations. Cold spots in rooms, flickering lights... even a knocking sound on windows. Does that sound familiar to you?

Savile: [Leans back, appearing slightly agitated]. I've heard the stories, of course. But that's all they are, stories. Nothing more than kids making things up or trying to get a bit of attention. You know how it is. [Smiles again, but it seems forced this time].

Dr. ███████: Mr. Savile, I'll be direct. We have information suggesting that during some of these incidents, you were present at the locations where the children reported seeing the figure. It seems to happen more often when you're around. Why do you think that is?

Savile: [The smile disappears completely. Savile's tone becomes defensive]. I don't know what you're implying, doctor. I've done nothing but good for those children. I brought joy and raised money for their hospitals. Are you trying to say I had something to do with some bogeyman stories?

Dr. ███████: I'm not implying anything, Mr. Savile. I'm simply trying to understand why these sightings are so often linked to your presence. Some children even described hearing a voice resembling yours, speaking alongside the knocking on the windows.

Savile: [Visibly uncomfortable, he shifts in his chair, making a smiling yet irritated expression]. Kids say all sorts of things, don't they? Sometimes they hear voices in their dreams, things that scare them. But those are just nightmares, nothing more. I can't help it if they have overactive imaginations.

Dr. ███████: Let's talk about a specific incident from 1982, at [REDACTED] Hospital. A nurse reported seeing a tall, skeletal figure outside the children's ward. Security footage captured a figure identical to you. You were there that night. Do you recall anything out of the ordinary?

Savile: [The subject's demeanor changes, becoming unusually calm]. I've been in many hospitals, many nights, doctor. There are always shadows. There are always noises. If you're trying to pin something on me, you'll need to come up with more than ghost stories.

Dr. ███████: I'm not accusing you of anything, Mr. Savile. I'm interested in knowing if you've ever felt... accompanied during these visits. Some people have described a feeling of being watched. Have you ever experienced anything like that?

Savile: [Long pause. Savile's expression is unreadable. He speaks slowly]. There are always eyes watching, doctor. In hospitals, on the streets, everywhere you go. [Leans slightly forward, lowering his voice]. Sometimes, it's the people you least expect who see the most. But you already know that, don't you?

Dr. ███████: What do you mean by that?

Savile: [Sits back, smiling again, but his eyes remain cold]. Oh, nothing really. I'm just an old man who did a bit of good in his spare time. If you want to go chasing after fantastic stories about bogeymen, be my guest. But don't come knocking at my door when you find there's nothing there. [Pauses]. Or maybe... it's not nothing. Maybe it's something you don't want to find.

Dr. ███████: Mr. Savile, one last question. Do you believe in the idea that some things can feed on fear? That perhaps the terror experienced by children could attract... something?

Savile: [The smile returns, wider than before]. Oh, doctor, fear is a powerful thing. It can drive people to do all sorts of things, see all sorts of things. If there's something that feeds on it, well... there certainly isn't a shortage of food, is there?

[END LOG]

---

Jimmy Savile demonstrated a complex ability to manipulate his own body language, often using evasive or ambiguous speech patterns to deflect questioning or obscure the truth. His conversational style frequently employed nonlinear responses, digressions, and humor to create confusion or redirect attention away from sensitive topics. These tactics allowed him to manipulate interviews and investigations, consistently avoiding consequences by shifting narratives in his favor.

Some linguists at the MOTHRA Institution theorized that Savile's use of language went beyond mere rhetorical skill and bordered on the anomalous. In several documented cases, interviewers and law enforcement agents reported feeling disoriented, forgetful, or mentally impaired after prolonged interactions with Savile. This phenomenon may suggest that Savile had an unconscious or latent ability to influence others through his speech, possibly compelling them to disregard or downplay any allegations against him.

Savile maintained close relationships with various influential individuals, including former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, members of the British royal family, and senior BBC officials. His connections granted him not only access to powerful social circles but also a level of protection that extended far beyond the reach of the average celebrity.

Several reports indicate that Savile's ties to figures like Margaret Thatcher may have played a crucial role in shielding him from prosecution. Internal documents and testimonies suggest that allegations made against him were repeatedly dismissed, suppressed, or "lost" by law enforcement agencies. Requests to investigate Savile were often met with resistance or completely derailed, possibly due to his network of powerful allies who were complicit in his activities or fearful of the potential consequences if his crimes were exposed.

Following Savile's death from pneumonia on October 29, 2011, all reported sightings of ANM-622 ceased completely. Before Savile's death, ANM-622 had been observed intermittently, with manifestations predominantly occurring at locations associated with trauma or where Savile had frequented during his lifetime. The abrupt end to these activities after his death suggests a potential connection between Savile and the entity, either as a direct or indirect influence on its manifestations.

The cessation of ANM-622's activity raised questions about the true nature of its existence and whether it was somehow linked to Savile's life force, influence, or actions. Further research into residual anomalies and long-term psychological effects on individuals exposed to ANM-622 is ongoing, although no new manifestations have been reported since Savile's death. As of this latest review, ANM-622 has been provisionally classified as Neutralized, pending any future reappearances.

The content of this interview has been classified as Level 4 access due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter and possible connections to anomalous phenomena.

this is just a drabble,, not proofread,,

tw for mentions of death, vampires idk, cannibalism in the notes

"you know," you say, cleaning the plates. a few stains stick to the plate, stubborn rice grains clinging on for its life. "i wouldn't lump you with the bad vampires." you scrub the dish with the green, rough part of the sponge. "if that is what you are." a few weeks have passed, maybe two, since she climbed out of her coffin. yet you still haven't figured out what kind of creature exactly arashi is.

she tilts her head, and she smiles when her bones do not crack. "like who, love?" you feel your cheeks grow warm at the pet name, water running down the surface of the plate. you shrug, "margaret thatcher, or queen elizabeth, or maybe jared leto." arashi's shoulders shake with a graceful laugh, "none of them are vampires, i think." she pauses, rising from the couch and walking over towards you. "but they're old," you protest, "old but they look the same as they did like, 40 years ago." the wait isn't long, living in a small apartment leaves not much leg room to walk around. her arms lace around your waist, hugging you from behind. her chin rests on your shoulder. "so, if they're the bad ones, " she murmurs, looking at the glistening soap bubbles in the sink. "mind listing the good ones for me?"

"i- well," you stammer, heat spreading around your shoulders and ears and cheeks, "keanu reeves, halle berry, i think. um," you pick up a coffee mug, "oh, cher! then avril lavigne, maybe shakira - and you, of course, i mean i guess? since we don't know what you are."

though you don't see her face, as you've been avoiding her smug visage, you can tell she's smiling. "i know. you know what i am, though?" she surpresses a giggle, hiding her face in the crook of your neck. you hum in response, her nose tickling the curve of it. "yours."

you're lucky you don't drop the mug.

the lore here is you and arashi are gfs that live happily together, but one day, arashi dies. she gets brought back to life, somehow! she's still so sweet and kind, exactly how she was before her untimely tragedy, but her body is cold. also she eats boys now... but you're still domestic and stuff

edens personifhood is a bit like grantaire’s in les mis. in canon are they? no. but in the personif AU/the cityverse yes they are. the difference is that eden started as a personif and geog just liked her enough that she made her also a character.

shes the head of the okosian secret police. she was tortured for eight years in/by chiendra/elian (who is also my fault) and his margaret thatcher inspired boss. who is also sort of my fault. she is our poor little meow meow and i melt into a puddle every time we give her more trauma.

[colin-blackwood]

Colin Blackwood ♦ Cis man (He/ Him) ♦ 52 ♦ Law Enforcement ♦ Detective Chief Inspector

“Honestly? I’d rather stick my dick in a blender than hear another one of those lies.”

divorce tw, siblings death tw, murder tw, guns tw

Colin was born in Leeds (Yorkshire) in 1970. His mother worked in a canning factory while his father worked in one of the many collieries of the region. With his elder brother, they’d gone to public school with hopes and dreams and yet the dooming realization, as years passed, that there was no rising from their condition. Colin’s brother started working in the mines, but on his fourteenth year, in 1984, miners went on strike across the country to protest Thatcher’s decision to close 20 coal mines. Although the strike went on to last a whole year, his father and his brother lost their jobs, eventually, as the mines shut down permanently. His father went on to find a new job in the months that followed, but Colin’s brother, Henry chose to stop following his father’s footsteps and instead joined one of his friends at the fire department.

Colin loved hearing his brother’s stories over Sunday lunch, and he told himself that one day, he too would have stories of his own to tell the family, and you could say that he managed to do just that.

He started as a constable and slowly but surely made his way up the hierarchy. An arrest he made in 2001 earned him a spot on the front pages of local newspapers as he put an end to the macabre career of a serial killer. He was offered a book deal and a position as an instructor at the London Police Academy, but both were refused by Colin, who didn’t want to stray away from his mission. Leeds was however growing a bit too small for him, and he made them a counter offer : he wouldn’t work for the Academy, but he’d love a place in one of their precincts. London would be a nicer place for he and his wife to raise their unborn child. But when one Blackwood brother was met with success, one was met with a much darker fate. Colin had been working in London for a week when he received a phone call from his mother to let him know that his brother had perished in a fire. The perspective of becoming a father might have been the only thread that kept Colin from drowning in his sorrow then, but as years passed, feelings of guilt and helplessness replaced the pain of loss, and it was through burying himself in work and accepting more cases that Colin made it through his days. His attitude led the pair to an inevitable divorce, one which Colin never really blamed himself for.

Although he eventually recovered from losing his brother so soon, Colin finds it sometimes difficult to let things go, and tends to get obsessive working on cases. He can count on his partner not to let him fall into the rabbit hole.

Recently, Colin gathered the attention of the press on another serial killer case he’d solved, but this time, not for the same reasons. Having shot the man dead during the arrest, he’s now under investigation to figure whether his actions were justified.

+ / -  hot headed, honorable, faithful, gruff, dutiful, logical, traditional, easily angered

Every now and then, he’ll get phone calls from True Crime podcasters regarding his 2001 arrest. Although he never once agreed to one of these, requests still end up in his professional inbox anyway.

While he doesn’t particularly resents the Conservative Party for what they did to his family (after all, the Labor Party also shut down collieries), Colin has an unspeakable hatred for Margaret Thatcher. He may have peed on her grave at some inebriated point.

The serial killer that Colin shot was an arsonist and it is the belief of some people that the detective acted the way he did because his brother died in a fire that had been the handy work of another arsonist.

Although Colin doesn’t precisely spend a lot of time out of work, he will make time for his daughter. They can spend hours on jigsaw puzzles, but another favorite activity of the pair is going to the movies.
