one reason why i think lt.-"columbo"-jadzia works as a character type/comparison is that they're both perceived as goofy and un-intimidating but are actually ambitious and competitive. it's a sort of thesis statement, that curiosity is always justified, sometimes for delightful reasons but sometimes for grim ones, and everything deserves attention. jadzia would say "oh and just one more thing" and what it represents, the expression of how pointed the detective's inquiry is even after the bumbling performance, would come across because no matter her fun-loving nature she still re-applied to a prestigious program after being rejected solely because she thinks she'd be good for the job. it's a different shade of pride, with an affected humility that may or may not be sincere, that's useful when something is mysterious--the idea that one can find what doesn't want to be found. it's trusting one's perception and judgement of the world to a degree most wouldn't. and it's really interesting to write about: what would turn an ambitious and adventurous scientist into a scruffy public servant bent towards exposing murderers.

I also like that EAW hasn’t had any whodunits yet. I get bored by them easily and I think they’re usually done really badly. the show has a fair amount of detective work, but it’s not about finding out who did the crime, but rather medical and legal investigation, which I quite like

Ansy maybe I can send an idea about this. Maybe this yandere is turning into a zombie/monster, Reader sacrifices or willingly let's the yandere eat reader so the yandere wouldn't hurt others. Other idea, Yandere is a monster/cannibal and reader has a flesh that is very addicting to eat so yandere feels guilty for eating their darling but can't as darling tastes so delicious.
A/n: I'm actually currently writing the prompt I got earlier so here's some short ideas. also, what's up with me writing cannibalism fics for two older brothers with blue-white color schemes?? *shrug*. I'll go with the 2nd idea-ish (I'll tweak it again) in this one. First time doing headcanons so... I'll adios lol.
Content Tags: hello its yandere cannibalism lmao + Whodunit spoilers
Tumblr media
YANDERE CANNIBAL!SUNDAY who strangely takes too long to respond to his childhood friend's messages. You're starting to get worried that he's spending too much time inside the dreamscape. Although your race greatly differs from his- being an ordinary human resident and all- you heard numerous stories that Halovians tend to carnally seek glamorous feasts after hosting series of events.
YANDERE CANNIBAL!SUNDAY who finally replied to your recent message, telling you "DON'T COME, PLEASE." with bold capital letters. You can only raise an eyebrow, considering you're already on his front door with a fruit basket at hand. In hindsight, perhaps you should've considered giving him a heads-up beforehand instead of rudely announcing your visit. But you are genuinely worried for his overall wellbeing, especially given what happened to his sister.
And perhaps, you were also just looking for someone who could understand your grief as well. He wasn't the only one stripped of their family so suddenly. The thought of your friend starving himself had pushed your own sadness away in favor of sheer platonic worry. That was how strong your bond was.
YANDERE CANNIBAL!SUNDAY who shook, mortified at the knocks on his front door. As much as possible, he can't let you in. The current nightmare he calls "HUNGER" was an unforgiving beast. He leaned against the other side of the closed door, breathing heavily.
"(Y/n), n-now is not the time for a visit! Forgive me for this crudeness, but I shan't open the door at present." You hear him inhale shakily. "To have you see me like this undermines all the work I've put in our... friendship."
You sighed. "Alright, I'm sorry. But... can I please just leave this on your porch?"
"... I will not bar you from doing so..."
"Thank you."
YANDERE CANNIBAL!SUNDAY whose hands refused to stop trembling. You're so close. He can almost taste you behind that door. A chill runs down his spine as he noticed just how much his mouth was watering at the thought of taking a bite.
YANDERE CANNIBAL!SUNDAY who thought himself most detestable for his cravings. The Odes of Harmony preaches honesty among its many virtues, and he would drown himself for omitting the grim truth from you. THEY will not be happy with this relapse of his.
YANDERE CANNIBAL!SUNDAY who bit his thumb, drawing blood. THEY wouldn't endorse this behavior from a representative of the Family.
YANDERE CANNIBAL!SUNDAY who looked at his bleeding finger and laughed sorrowfully at the lingering question on his mind.
Whose blood was it? His... or THEIRS?
Sunday could never be at ease after committing this crime. A Halovian like himself would never allow their vision to be clouded in red, and it appears the devil had saw an opportunity to hurl at two birds with one stone. But that would be an inaccurate way to describe it. His wings had not been clipped; he had brutally torn it away himself.
Penacony's most shrewd man lied to the arrogant fool that evening. There were four murders in that timeframe. One was a stowaway, the other was his precious sister, and the last pair was both your father and mother.
THEIR vision of a happy future for you did not welcome HIM.
All he recalls now was their polite disapproval turned screams when he made an attempt to ask for their blessing. Sunday only realized what he had done the moment he had sunk his teeth down your mother's arm, noticing how your father was already but boney remains of himself.
This Halovian ancestry's secret... it served him no good.
Why was he born into this race and why wasn't he raised just like you?
"Watchmaker... How can I ever forgive myself for this...?"
How can he dare proclaim to mete out justice when he deserves to be served the same sentence? "Sunday" himself is a transgressor, unworthy of yielding Harmony's name.
What heathen he was, to partake in flesh and blood that was not for his stomach simply because they both smelled just like you. What heretic he was, to place anger and hunger above his better judgement.
What karma it was, to find out his sister has been killed in his moments of guilt.
What retribution it was, to face that what he had done to others, will be done unto him.

🥏 TXF Fic Rec #25: "Overnight Sensation" by Syntax6
Today’s fic is an “X Files meets police procedure” whodunit with some of the best Diana-induced angst ever written. Set after episodes 6x11-12, “Two Fathers/One Son,” Scully ditches Mulder to join the investigation of a high-profile serial killer case in Boston. Her partner and Diana Fowley soon follow suits, complicating things.
This is one of those holy grail fics that combine a top-notch casefile with great MSR, the type @syntax6 excels at. The fast-paced, action-packed casefile goes all out on elaborate plot puzzles and has a blockbuster scale to it. Syntax6 creates a cast of original characters for the local police force, and portrays Mulder as a brilliant, heroic, and ass-kicking investigator, bringing to life that “golden boy of VCU”, known mainly through hearsay not often seen in action. A must-read.

Do you have any WIPs? If so can we get the batfam as those?
i can't tell if these are good ideas
Dick: Teen Beach Movie AU where Birdflash get transported into a 1960s musical and accidentally alter the plot, so they have to race against the clock to 1) get the movie's couple back together and 2) find a way back to the real world
Jason: college AU where seniors Jason, Roy, Kory, and Kyle go on a road trip for their final spring break and check off everything on their childhood bucket lists while facing the reality of what's gonna happen after they graduate
Tim: another college AU where someone gives Kon a fake number at a bar that turns out to be Tim's and they strike up a deal where they keep each other company over text on the condition that they don't reveal their identities; at the same time, they are long-standing art school rivals who got paired together for their final project
Damian: family-friendly whodunit mystery where Selina's engagement ring goes missing at a party, so Damian and Jon take it upon themselves to interrogate everyone and uncover the culprit, who turns out to be closer than they think
Duke: multiverse AU set during We Are Robin where the Robins of different continuities converge in Duke's Gotham, and they have to work together to get past their stark personality contrasts in order to defeat a common enemy
Cullen: side story where, against his sister's wishes and behind her back, Cullen suits up with his own vigilante persona and pursues a smuggling case operating out of his favorite DVD store that takes him beyond his comfort zone of the Gotham city limits
Stephanie: lawyer AU where Steph is the newest recruit at a law firm and her first case is a seemingly straightforward lawsuit until she finds bizarre evidence, unknowingly makes enemies, and wonders if she's fighting for the right side at all
Cassandra: one-room thriller where Cass takes the Gotham subways late at night and winds up at a station that she's never heard of with no exit, no cell service, and something lurking inside the tunnels
Barbara: chat log/computer programming–style story where Babs antagonizes the wrong person online and places a target on the backs of herself and everyone she loves, so she must outmaneuver the anonymous user before they can make good on their threat
Harper: canon-divergent fic where Harper discovers an underground fight ring run by washed-up and wannabe Gotham vigilantes who offer to help train her skills in ways the batfamily can't, but when she takes the offer, she starts to question what is the cost of reaching her potential
Carrie: soft fantasy AU where Carrie and her fellow Girl Scouts discover a baby mythological creature in the woods without its family around, so they work together to figure out how to take care of it without tipping off their troop leaders
Kate: classic batfam mission where Kate and Bruce make a bet to see who can solve their latest case first, but she realizes that their friendly rivalry might be the exact thing putting them in jeopardy
Alfred: Marvel crossover where he and Peggy Carter come out of retirement to track down an international art thief, only to uncover a more sinister plot involving their past allies
Selina: Midnight Library-ish concept where Selina gets an opportunity to explore all the what-ifs of her life and undo her past regrets, but the difficult decision is whether or not she wants to make those changes permanent
Bruce: Turner and Hooch AU in the early Batman days where Bruce takes in a stray dog off the streets because it's an integral piece to his latest mission, but Alfred's out of town and Bruce doesn't know the first thing about caring for a living creature, let alone one as uncooperative as an untrained Ace

Hello Sophie. I think I speak for the fandom when I ask: are you doing a red string board for the whodunit fics? And if so, do you believe that having yourself as one of the contestants will compromise the integrity of the board? The public (me) is dying to know!
I wasn't planning on it, since I didn't think anyone wanted me rambling all weird and stuff, but if you guys want me too I'll give it a go and do my best to remain objective!

PENULTIMATE CHAPTER!!! READ MY ATLA SCREAM AU FANFIC WHERE EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT & NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS!
The teens of Lakewood (AKA the Gaang Feat. the dangerous ladies) are deep in it having suffered brutal losses & getting no closer to learning the true identity of the killer behind the mask - come read PSPSPSPSP
Look I even made a silly mood board for it -
Tumblr media
this time - A Twitter confession of murder. A killer trapped in a coma. The Red Flag Club is in the trenches with more questions than answers when Zuko admits to putting on the Ghostface mask, & claims Azula helped him slaughter their friends & family while locked in a trance. What is the truth? Just how many people have been masquerading as Ghostface & slicing & dicing the people of Lakewood? Angry, confused & unsure of what to believe Katara makes a deadly choice about who to trust as the seconds tick down & the bloody finale of this murder mystery approaches.
The most prominent ships in this fic are definitely Azula/Katara & Azula/Zuko - but also relevant are Jet/Katara, Sokka/Yue, Sokka/Suki, Jet/Ty Lee, Zuko/Mai & Jet/Yue. This is a horror/murder mystery/tragedy/slasher whodunit set in the Scream universe. The final chapter will be posted next week. No one is safe, & everyone is a suspect. Read at your own risk!
Okay BYE <3

For the fanfic writer ask game, any of these that you feel like answering: ❌🤯🤗🤯
❌ What's a trope you will never write? Um. Hm. I think it's not about what one does, but how one does it that makes a trope good or bad. I'm capable of anything, I guess. That said, I generally dislike high school aus or coffee shop aus (I can list exceptions to these rules, though.)
🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer? Romance. I am not good at the modern romance genre. I could also say I am not as experienced with action because I don't do it a lot, but the truth is that when I have a REASON to write anything with a bunch of action sequences, I love doing it. I might have to do some research if it's true martial arts or something but it is SO cool to figure out feasible choreography for it. Surprising since I write for shonen fandoms, huh?
Since this emoji came up twice, uh. I've never written a true whodunit mystery before? I've never wanted to, but I also have no experience in it, so there's that.
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started? Write the damn thing and just post it. Whatever it is is fine. Promise. Someone out there wants it. Don't apologize for being bad at summaries in the summary, don't tell the world if it's your first, second, third, or whatever fic in the summary. (Don't feel like you need to justify anything of that nature, ever, but if you just want to do that just because, put that in the notes. NEVER put that stuff in the summary.) Then, wait at least 8 hours before you even think of looking at comments or hits - which you probably shouldn't do just yet, anyway. Then, even if you get nothing, don't worry about it. Honestly, don't. There are so many factors at play for why that could be. Just repeat the process again for a new one.
Also, when not sure what to say to a comment, "Thank you for reading" will suffice even if for some boneheaded reason they say they don't like it. They read the whole thing and commented, so that means there was SOMETHING about it that stuck with them even if they aren't fixated on it, and that is worthwhile. You also don't actually have to answer anything, mind.

For the Whodunit fic submissions, I submitted my fic, but don’t see it in the collection. Is there a way to confirm it was received? Thanks for the help!
I meant to make a post about this and then got swept away by real life things. Oops!
To everyone who's been submitting stuff, it's coming through! I have the collection set so that I can 'manage' which fics/art gets posted to it or not. It allow me to see who's making what for when I start setting up the polls on the fifteenth!
I'll publish all of the fics to the collection with the name reveals come the winter solstice so people can congratulate the authors and artists as they deserve!
ONE MORE DAY!!! :D
