I’ve been thinking about this AU for months but I’m too lazy to actually write the fic so have some sketches (and pls ignore my atrocious handwriting and the fact that I got confused about Neil’s hands and made him ambidextrous skdjjd)
i have the biggest wave of david shaw with a baby brainrot rn and istg when time permits me, it’s all anyone is gonna be hearing from me 😌 so just be prepared for that tumblr dot com 😋
Lol ok so if “bloody” did in fact used to be a more heavy swear word than it is now it makes Spike’s speech patterns really funny. Because I always knew he says “bloody” “bleeding” and “bloody hell” as a way to have something that acts like a swear word while remaining in the confines of the rating so it’s like “heck” or “frick/frack” or even “crap.” And there was definitely a joke in there about him, a known victorian, running around using swear words that really aren’t that bad. BUT if it in fact was a much worse swear word that means (for his time) he IS swearing like a sailor and he THINKS he’s swearing like a sailor but because of time and changes in language/culture his f-bomb has depreciated to a “heck” or at worst a “shit”
