“Your phone is in a state of ✨outage✨, Miss Hepworth.”

Imagine being Nigel's favorite student.

"Yes, Y/N?" You stood up and he could not hide his delight when you gave a perfect answer to his question. He nodded and shot you an approving smile.

He was slightly proud that it was you who raised a hand. On the other hand, it was quite predictable, you were one of the smartest students he have had a privilege to teach. But maybe his judgment was a little biased with you.

"Good one, that's correct!" He exclaimed and turned back to the board to write down the conclusion, hiding his smirk noticing the way your face has light up.

Rated: how bangable are Reece’s IN9 characters...

In honour of season 5 of Inside Number 9 starting tomorrow, I’m going to resort to some entirely tumblr appropriate horny on main shitposting. This list is entirely subjective, has no bearing on how much I enjoyed the over all episode, and takes no account of whether a character deserves banging, because 99% of Reece’s characters in anything are morally reprehensible and if we go down that road we’d never get anywhere...

(episodes where he’s either not in it, i.e. Last Gasp, or barely in it, i.e. 12 Days of Christine, To Have & To Hold, not counted for obvious reasons)

Hector Moloch - The Harrowing (S1.E6): 10/10, Hector is a cutie, fight me. Also kinky af, but I couldn’t call it on in which direction. 12/10 if Tabitha is also involved.

Mr Warren - The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge (S2.E3): 11/10, Daddy, and you know he’s kinky af. Can prick my most sensitive and private area any day.

Viktor - Once Removed (S4.E3) 10/10 Also strong Daddy vibes, and he spends most of the episode in his boxers and a tight t-shirt, so... 

Tom - Tom & Gerri (S1.E3) 10/10 Baby :( You just want to fuck the pain away, especially when he’s taken to his bed to write and is all dishevelled. And does scrub up well...

David - Diddle Diddle Dumplin (S3.E5) 10/10 DILF, esp when he’s all sweaty after going for a run, even if he is completely bonkers. Similar rescueable energy to Tom, would he have ended up where he did if he’d had some early intervention and hadn’t been expected to ‘just get over it’?

Nick - Tempting Fate (S4.E6) 9/10 One of the few genuinely good characters and a messy-haired cutie

Henry - Zanzibar (S4.E1) 9/10 Dangerous, romantically dishevelled, speaks in iambic pentameter... but loses a point for doing a bit of a silly voice. Can you imagine how hot this character would have been if Reece had just been using his real accent?

Jim - The Understudy (S1.E4) 8/10 Soft and cute, but maybe a bit too passive until pushed.

Tommy - Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room (S4.E2) 8/10 Dignified silver fox, and I think I have a bit of a thing for sad!Reece...

Maxwell - La Couchette (S2.E1) 7/10 Grumpy, but I do like a guy who can take charge, and he scrubs up well. 

George - Cold Comfort (S2.E3) 6/10 George is a horrible little man but I kind of want him to talk dirty to me...

Archie - The Bill (S3.E2) 6/10 I dunno man I just think he’s cute, in a soft sort of way, even if it is a bit of a ruse...

Greg - Empty Orchestra (S3.E4) 5/5 He basically looks like Reece but is unremarkable as a character so I mean sure.

Hives - Seance Time (S2.E6) 4/10 Wouldn’t kick him out of bed but he’s also kinda forgettable. 

Maurice - Private View (S3.E6) 2/10 Bit of a jerk, silly facial hair, but at least not completely useless.

Pat - Nana’s Party (S2.E4) 1.5/10 I feel so bad about this because Pat is one of the very few actually nice characters in this show, but that’s not what this list is about and he’s got silly hair and a silly voice and an annoying sense of humour.

Professor Tyler - Riddle of the Sphinx (S3.E3) 1/10 Creepy and scruffy, which is different to dishevelled. That’s a nope from me.  

Clive - And The Winner Is (S4.E5) 1/10 Desperation is not a good look and neither is that ‘tashe

Ray - Quiet Night In (S1.E2) 1/10 Stupid moustache, not even competent.

Stu - Sardines (S1.E1) ?/10 Not sure how to rate Stu because he is very gay and I am not technically a man. But if I was, Stu would either be a lot of fun in a refusing to take it seriously way, or an absolute pillow-princess pain in the neck.

Klaus/Ralph - Devil of Christmas (S3.E1) ?/10 Are we talking about the character, the actor, what? I mean this episode gets points because Reece gets his shirt off, but the characters are too vague.

I'm glad you like my taste I do tend to like weird niche characters like cannibals and clowns and butchers whose meat is... made of ... something ... however you'll be really disappointed when I say my all time favourite Reece character is Urban Bedford. He's the king of the world dgmw but it must seem anticlimactic because of my big talk of Hilary, Jelly, and the zygon film 😔

the guy from how do you plead right? noo he's iconic i love him. i love when reece plays gay characters it feels so personal to me. personally my fav in9 reece characters are hector and pat (my babygirls <333)

[catboyrightsdefender]

i don't have anything to say about this

[barkilphedros-hat]

Spot the difference 😂😂

[barkilphedros-hat]

“I play guitar Miss Hepworth.”

For @depressedsackofbullshit who asked for the Hammer-iest of villains, Hector 👌🏻

(This one was so fun to do thank you!)

[barkilphedros-hat]

a pretty specific one, but which outfits + wigs do you think were the most effective in getting their characters across? c:

Ohoooo thank you!

For Steve, probably his look as Len from Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room because it really does give me “faded star who probably smells like stale Guinness” vibes.

Also his look as Mick in Last Night of the Proms because, yup, that’s a patriotic UKIP voter alright 😂

For Reece, I gotta say his look as Dr Maxwell in La Couchette was a great one, because he’s so neat and put together even at bedtime that you instantly clock him as quite an orderly, precise kinda chap.

And then there’s his look as Simon. To be honest I took one look at him and went “yeah that’s one awkward little loser” 😂😂

[barkilphedros-hat]

Do you have any favourite IN9 lines? If so, what are they? 🥰

Haha there’s so MANY!! 😂😂

• “Your phone is in a state of outage.” (I have no idea why, I think it’s just the way Hector says it that KILLS me)

• “✨ Hortensia! Hortensia! Don’t leave me on the fence-ia!✨”

• “And did.... eat... a baby’s.... face off. Continue.”

• “Please let me go home. My mum’s ordered me a biryani!” (Poor Hugo. 100% deserved better.)

• “We decided against pooing in a paint pot.” “Yeah....what?!”

• “Didn’t stop you becoming a heartless critic though did it?” “Oh that’s a BIT OF A STRETCH-!?”

• “FUCK ME THERE’S A GHOST!”

• “What’s his favourite animal?” “Monkey.” “No, fuck that.”

• “I always thought he was a tadpole but it never sat right with me.”

• “Can you watch the Queen doing a poo?” “Yeah. Have done. She takes ages.” (I love Maureen agwjskaldja)

• “They said I wasn’t sweet enough. Fuckers!”

• “You don’t fucking swear either do you?” “I have been known to blurt out ‘fiddlesticks’ in moments of crisis.”

• “Alaska?” “There’s no point now she’s dead.” (Honestly pretty much everything out of Steve’s mouth in Wuthering Heist is amazing)

There’s so many but I can’t think of them all 🙈🙈

[barkilphedros-hat]

have you ever had any ideas or theories in how some of the in9 characters are connected? c:

Ooooh I haven’t really thought of anything like that! 😱

But that’d be fun to think about, imagine how cool it would be if Reece’s character from Zanzibar was somehow descended from his character in The Trial of Eizabeth Gadge?

I did make a joke about the house from Séance Time being one street over from the house in The Harrowing because of their similar gothic vibes, so perhaps they should get Hector and Tabitha on Scaredy Cam 😂😂

What about you?? I’d love to hear some theories!

[barkilphedros-hat]

inside no.9 would you rather

1, 3 and 5 💘

Oooh thank you @wolvesdidit!

1. would you rather have the fate of Nina from The Riddle of the Sphinx or Katy from The Harrowing?

I think I’d have to go with Katy because Nina in my opinion has one of the most terrifying fates in IN9 (not that Katy’s isn’t HORRENDOUS, because it is). Because even though their methods were, ahem, god-fucking awful, I do think Hector and Tabitha’s intentions were (at least superficially) good. Keeping a demon contained to protect the world from chaos? That’s pretty heavy stuff. Nina however, trapped in her own body and slowly suffocating while the man she loved and trusted as her father cuts her about and rants about how she was only a pawn for his revenge? Horrible, no thank you 😭

3. would you rather be stuck in a crowded couchette (la couchette) or a wardrobe (sardines)?

Oh the couchette, hands down. Simply because you can just, like, leave the damn thing. Nobody was really forced to be in there and it was for a night at most. If Jorg got too much I would simply take a walk up and down the corridor to the dining cart and take in the passing scenery. RIP to Maxwell but I’m different. 🤷🏼‍♀️

5. would you rather be a witch like Elizabeth Gadge or a vampire like SPC Varney?

A witch like Elizabeth Gadge! I’m sorry but I like garlic way too much to go for eternity without it 😂

(I wouldn’t kill Clarke though, he’s my best friend, he’s my pal, he’s my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy.)

[barkilphedros-hat]

can't remember if you've been asked this before, but what're your top 10 episodes of in9? 👀

Oh no this is MEAN. It’s MEAN and CRUEL and how very dare you 😂😂

These are in no particular order because my “favourite” entirely depends on my mood 😅 so here goes!

• The Harrowing (Hector my beloved...)

“Andras has a bell by his bed. He won’t ring it...”

• Zanzibar

“How the fates they do conspire! I’ll profit from another man’s desire!”

• Once Removed

“I can explain!”

• Deadline

“Is this part of the twist? Oh do FUCK OFF!”

• The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge

“What is ‘named’ backwards?”

• Simon Says

“It’s not stupid. It’s the way it SHOULD be...”

• A Quiet Night In

“STOP texting me you ducking idiot!”

• Private View

“It’s about the piece and what it says to you. This, for example, says to me ‘Gas Explosion at Debenhams’”

• Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room

“He had to get rid of that ostrich, ya know!”

• Cold Comfort

“Are you having a party? I might come along...”

Thank you for the ask, I feel really bad about leaving a load of episodes off the list it’s like abandoning my own kids 😂
