not to risk shouting into the void on the lords day of rest but y'all should watch bodies I feel like there's only about 4 people watching and i am withering like a water starved house plant without talking about it

Love how Bodies is this dark time spanning mystery but in the middle of it all they decided to throw in a heartbreaking queer Victorian love story. It’s perfect

Hasan: So this is 2023, we have radios to call for help now instead of whistles, we can not only check for finger print matches but for DNA matches as well and we-
Hillinghead: yes yes all very interesting, more to the point- I could hold my male lover's hand in public??? I can kiss him on the lips and not worry about both of us being arrested???
Hasan: Yes but look, I'm trying to get you both up to speed with modern policing-
Whiteman: Hillinghead can make out with blokes if he wants, fantastic, now tell me again why I CAN'T SMOKE IN THE BLOODY PUB!?

headcanons for the characters from Bodies going out on halloween except they're all in modern times
Shahara, Iris, Karl, Alfred, and Henry all go along to take Esther and Jawad out trick-or-treating mostly just so Shahara can show them all what Halloween is
Alfred is very happy to be able to wear his whole Victorian suit gettup without being stared at weird (he feels naked in just one layer of clothes)
Him and Henry go as Sherlock and Watson
Henry takes his old-timey camera partially as a prop, partially to take photos of everyone
He loves seeing all the costume, while he's developing them he tells Alfred something about the costumes people choose to dress up as being reflections of their inner selves finally brought out
Esther becomes obsessed with being able to get the most candy possible
She forces Karl to wear a matching costume in hopes it'll get people to give them more
Karl has to stop her from swiping more candy from little kids passing by
She hasn't seen this much candy since the rationing started
Iris isn't as into all the halloween decorating and stuff but she decides it would be fun to dress up like Defoe's body (except clothed of course) so she watched a bunch of sfx makeup tutorials to make it look like her eye was shot out
whenever anyone asks her about her costume she tells them the full ghost story of no exit hole, no bullet found, no one heard a gun go off, "some say the body will keep appearing until his murderer has been brought to justice"
She tells some of the little kids "do you want to know a secret... I shot him"
Shahara always has to calm to the kid down after that but Iris keeps on doing it
Shahara is exhausted by the end of the night taking care of the whole group
Karl lets her go to bed early and babysits Jawad
When Jawad gets upset about how much more candy Esther got than him Karl forces her to share some but it turns into a big argument
"there's not rationing anymore, we can get you more treats later" "but I earned this fair and square"
eventually he gets her to give Jawad some but she steals it back in the middle of the night
