OMG I DID NOT NOTICE THIS!!! Anyway, I love all of this.
ED BUCHAN, BEAUTIFUL CINNAMON ROLL TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD, TOO PURE. What an excellent autistic, and omg the special interest and he's so great with his attempts at being all blustery.
And yes, such bad luck with the suspects dying. Like, seriously. BUT they do actually save victims several times, which is good!!! And they technically catch the perps, it's just that unfortunately none of them ever get to trial. And I love that they mention it and Joe spends so much time being like BRING THEM IN ALIVE THIS TIME. It's like the saddest running gag of all time.
I also love Llewelyn. She was so great, I love how into her job she was. Also, yeah, I think the actress was pregnant.
I KNOW, RIGHT, WHY HASN'T ANYONE WRITTEN ABOUT MANSELL'S SUICIDE ATTEMPT??? THANKFULLY I AM CURRENTLY FILLING THE VOID, SO STAY TUNED FOR MY 'MANSELL IS DEFINITELY BIPOLAR AND TOTALLY ATTEMPTED SUICIDE LET'S TALK ABOUT IT AND ALSO ERICA SHOULD PROBABLY FREAK OUT ABOUT IT BECAUSE THAT'S IN THE REALM OF REASONABLE BEHAVIOR AND ALSO EPIC FRIENDSHIP WITH RILEY YAY'. I have 3,188 words of that fic written so far.
LOUISE IVER, OMG. (Also did you notice how her name sounds like Lucifer? Subtle stuff, Whitechapel.)
YES, WRITE AN EPIC WHITECHAPEL POST SERIES 4 FIC DEALING WITH SUPERNATURALNESS AND MENTAL HEALTH. I AM ALSO PLANNING AN EPIC POST SERIES 4 FIC, BUT NOT SO MUCH DEALING WITH SUPERNATURALNESS, MORE WITH MENTAL HEALTH. Also I agree that Joe really needs some therapy. Everyone needs some therapy. I think I will include some therapy in that fic.
And yeah, everything goes haywire mental health wise in series 4 (but I got diagnoses for everyone!!! Bipolar and rapid cycling Mansell who is passively suicidal a lot of the time, Borderline Personality Disorder Kent, OCD and autistic Chandler, autistic Ed, and token neurotypicals Miles, Riley, and Erica Kent, and also everyone has PTSD and probably Joe has C-PTSD, which is Complex PTSD, because the poor guy's just had one trauma after another in his life, starting when he was like ten with his DAD, that was so fucking sad what the hell). I think maybe there's some supernatural stuff that TRIGGERS it, but not because it's literally making it happen, because it's supernatural stuff and everything's weird and that's triggering in itself.
ALSO GUESS WHAT I'M ALSO WRITING? THE FIC WHERE MILES FORCES CHANDLER TO SPEND TIME WITH THE WIFE AND KIDS. I HAVE NAMES [though Liam already had a name but he's the only one who gets one in universe) AND PERSONALITIES FOR ALL THE KIDS. It doesn't say how many sons the Mileses have, only that they only have sons, so I've decided on three. Liam (11), Jason (9), and Ollie (6). I've also decided that each of the kids imprint on one of the team members (other than Riley but they all love her anyway, they all love all of them). Liam on Mansell, Jason on Kent, OLLIE ON ED I REALLY WANTED A SMALL MILES TO IMPRINT ON ED AND JUST THINK HE'S THE COOLEST AND MILES IS SO CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND IS LIKE SERIOUSLY SON SERIOUSLY, and obviously the baby (I call her Chrissy) on Ed.
Actually most of the Joe-centric fics I'm writing include Miles forcing him to spend time with the kids. Or all of them. Even though there is the necessary kid/teenfic because I write one for most fandoms where Joe and Kent are foster brothers who really hate their foster home and eventually meet Miles and his family and it's all great. ALSO I'm totally going to write the fic where EVERYONE IS FRIENDS.
(also the D/s AU I've been brainstorming with a Whitechapel friend who's over in England shhh)
I've decided that Riley has two kids, a boy and a girl, and the boy is ten and the girl is seven and then she has a husband, Theo. (Also in my head he's black because I thought of him and he was black.)
And Riley and Mansell are totally bros.
And Erica and Mansell fall in love super fast but don't get married because that's clearly a kiss of death when it comes to Mansell.
I actually REALLY like Mansell. (What about the scene where after he watches the Lon Cheney movie with the mentally ill murderer guy he goes up to him and says that he liked it and the guy grins and asks really and Mansell's like 'yeah, it's a classic' and the guy gives him the movie for safekeeping??? I love that scene so much and I was weirdly touched, okay.) He is my trash cinnamon roll.
Also I love how much darker and creepier Kent gets over the course of the series. Like his smiles in, say, series one are super sweet, but by series four there's this edge of creepiness to him. And he also has the eerie pale skinned brunette thing going on.
IT'S TANIA
