You've done more to help me than my faith has in recent times, if I'm being honest. Thank you. There's been something between us for some time — a connection. More than friends. I recognized but didn't act on it. I thought my faith was the most important think my life. I couldn't have been more wrong.
tim "i'm not trying to be romantic" → gets his girlfriend a 1st place trophy before she even takes the detectives exam because he believes in her so much, and then writing in a little '7' next to it after she notified him that she didn't do as well as she had hoped SEEMS PRETTY FUCKING ROMANTIC TO ME.
Guys, I’m sorry but no way was Neil okay with the way Andrew drove around when they started driving together. Neil’s whole life on the run was doing absolutely everything not to grab anybody’s attention. SO ABSOLUTELY NO SPEEDING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. you don’t commit small crimes while trying to get away with big crimes kids. Neil = passenger survivor.
Currently my favourite stupid little headcanon for Alastor is that he was the Axeman of New Orleans while he was alive, except he refuses to talk about it because he sees it as his like cringy and embarrassing early days of being a serial killer (particularly with the letter).
If my math is correct, since Alastor died in his 30’s-40’s, he would have been in his late teens-mid twenties when the Axeman was active (16-25 if we use 30-40 as our age caps) so I image this year of crime was Alastor experimenting with his MO and later decided that he could do better. He would have either gone dormant for a while to figure out how he wanted to go about his new MO, or he just became more focused on hiding his experimentations until he was more confident so perhaps it took a while for his new victims to be found. We don’t know much about Al’s canon crimes so this is is pretty open ended to allow for flexibility and such should we get more info.
However, I do think Alastor would find the letter he sent to the police to be super cringy when he looks back on it. He hates talking about those killings and would absolutely change the subject or ignore any questions completely.
I have an oc that I’ve been working on that was friends with Al when they were both alive and I love the idea that she likes to tease Alastor about the letter (both in life and death). Like they’re trying to make plans to meet up or something and her first response is to ask if he wants to “Jazz it on Tuesday” and Alastor just sarcastically laughs at her.
This is so stupid but it makes me laugh so I’m sharing it anyway 🤧
aaaa I just wanna hear izzy laugh so bad!! I want someone to crack him up and miraculously get a genuine smile out of him for the first time in like two decades. I want him to overhear some funny bit from the crew’s shared stories that actually makes him huff a little snort, only for him to immediately try to hide it. I want to hear that gravelly, deep rusty chuckle of his goddamnit!!! I want everyone to hear it and immediately whip their heads up in wide eyed shock. (is that… izzy?? laughing???? I didn’t even know he could DO that). (something in ed’s chest creaks a little to hear it again. it’s been so long since he’s heard that sound). I will not rest until my boy gets a tiny shred of happiness and that’s final!!!!
