' On the bright side, the wizard only had the two manacles. That was fair enough, how often do you expect to have to chain up more than one ghost at a time? So Edwin and Charles each had one hand free. Even better, the twat had thought Charles’ bag of tricks was just an empty knapsack and hadn’t bothered to take it off him. He and Edwin were only about twelve feet apart from each other, too, so they could talk without having to shout. Ideal circumstances for escaping.
On the less bright side, enchanted manacles were new territory for Charles. He was glad they weren’t iron and didn’t burn, but he also couldn’t pick the bloody lock.
“Charles,” said Edwin. “Are you quite alright? You’ve been working on that lock for some time, now.”
“Sorry, mate, it’s a magic lock, innit?” said Charles. He grunted with frustration as the lock on his left wrist once again shifted around his pick. “Keeps bloody moving around if I make progress.” '

you should absolutely give their fics a read if you haven't already
all of them are equally silly and fun with the two dead boys being little codependent maniacs for each other
plenty of violence committed as evidence in said fics
as far as we can see, it does seem like Charlie truly cares for Carson and supports her, like they get along well and have a lot of tenderness and trust for one another, although it’s hard to say how much of that is Charlie acting out of desperate fear that Carson will leave him if he’s not putting on his best self, however one line that totally rubs me the wrong way is when Carson is like
"Here’s most of my earnings this season. I couldn’t open a bank account because you weren’t in town."
and Charlie is like pissed, "Woah, you really don’t need me at all, do you?"
like sir could you not make it about yourself when your wife, even after achieving incredible goals in professional sports, still is kept by law under your leash just because she’s a woman, like, time and place sir she’s literally told you she can’t even legally be in charge of her own finances and you’re pissed she’s earning you a fortune she puts in your hands? fuck off lol
not villainizing him as a whole tho he does seem like he's a good guy
Back in early January, I read another of Collins's novels, The Dead Secret. It predates The Woman In White but uses quite a few of the same ideas, including characters of similar types or who play similar roles in the story. Overall, I would say that The Woman In White is definitely better and makes better use of the elements that are in both books... but the character in The Dead Secret who I interpret as the counterpart of Mrs Clements is truly truly delightful and tbh I think I will read The Dead Secret again in the future just for his sake.

He zips up his bag where the cigarette pack is hidden, now a bit embarrassed that she now knows of his secret habit that he indulges during his most stressed out moments. Very often, he tries his hardest to never show that anything that happens to him or in the base gets to him, so for her to ask him what was wrong.
“You don’t need to worry, Lady Orochi. I just needed a break from the claustrophobic walls of the place. Besides, I think you have more better things to do than to check up on me.” He continued while taking a step away from her, not that she has offended him. But its more like trying to keep some distance from her.
Just finished the Rifle and all I have to say is...how dare you?????? break my heart like this????? and just leave it on the ground????? YOU HAVE TO STITCH IT BACK UP
Oh goodness, I’m very sorry to hear about your poor heart! ♡ I may not stitch it up quite so quickly, but you can find out what happens next in the story here!

i think it’s to do with autistic-coded characters being infantilized
Speaking of Tim Burton, I heard there's going to be a comic sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas; which is kinda BS. Tim didn't want a sequel to it, he hated the idea of it.
Well that didn’t stop anyone from making a video game, did it? 2, actually. There was the sequel game (Oogie’s revenge), and the prequel game (The Pumpkin King). Anyways, I’ll admit that I’m on mixed feelings about this, too. At least from what I’ve seen from articles online, the comic is considered a sequel, though it looks to be focusing more on Zer0. Not only that, this is going to be published as a manga under Tokyopop - which I think is the same studio that made the manga adaptation of the movie.
Soo….yeah. We’re never going to get a sequel movie, though it’s certainly not stopping anyone from making a “sequel” in other mediums.
