Hello! First of all a MASSIVE congratulations on everything and I’m so happy you finally get to share everything! Genuinely massive kudos to you for lying to all of us so convincingly at Terror Camp being able to hold onto this for so long!

I’m still working my way through the Cambridge article and the rest of the publications so apologies if these are questions that you or Douglas Stenton answer there!

It was my understanding that (at least according to the wikipedia article which is not always the most reliable source) that the Canadian History Museum genuinely have just. Lost? Misplaced? the Gladman Point skeleton (now known to have been Peglar)? Any update on that front or were the DNA samples used in identification ones that were acquired prior to the misplacement?

Speaking of remains and whereabouts, what has been or is being done with the four that have now been identified? If you’ve been talking to descendants, do any of them now get to decide what happens going forward regarding reinterrment on KWI like I think I’ve heard has been done for other remains, or has that already happened? What’s the most respectful and proper way to move forward with the knowledge we now have and the fact that this happened almost 180 years ago?

Also, I’m super interested to hear more about the timeline for all of this if you’re able/willing to talk about it! You mentioned that you’ve had at least most of the information for like ten months now, were all four identifications confirmed within that period? Was it a matter of waiting to get news back regarding any of them before publishing anything rather than announcing each one as it was found out, or did they all happen so close together?

This is also just a request for you to be as absolutely obnoxious and insufferable about all of this as you fully deserve to be and say everything about it that you want to and are allowed to do now that the news is out!

Thanks! I'm very happy I did not accidentally spill the beans, because that was a real fear lol

It was my understanding that the Canadian History Museum genuinely have just. Lost? Misplaced? the Gladman Point skeleton...

Yeah Peglar's skeleton was lost and remains lost. It was first found by McClintock in 1859, then rediscovered in 1973 during a Canadian military training exercise. They removed it and sent to the museum, and then it has since disappeared. Douglas Stenton went back, found the original site again, and they were able to find a few small bones missed by the military, such as a metatarsal. The DNA samples came from those. Some of that is mentioned in the Cambridge article that you're still reading, but there's more on it in an earlier paper here if you want even more reading material haha

There's a picture of his skeleton from 1973 after a partial reassembly.

Speaking of remains and whereabouts, what has been or is being done with the four that have now been identified?

To my knowledge the remains were re-interred in KWI after the DNA samples were first taken years ago. Except for teeth, which I think get destroyed in the DNA testing process. I don't really know a lot when it comes to interment and repatriation and all that. I know at some point Fabiënne Tetteroo had talked about the potential for repatriation when it came to James Fitzjames, and it sounded complicated. Especially since we're talking only about a couple of bones for each person, not a full skeleton.

Also, I’m super interested to hear more about the timeline for all of this...

I talk about the timeline in my blog here! I jump around a bit in the narrative, so if it helps, I found out about:

John Bridgens on July 19, 2025

David Young on August 15, 2025

William Orren on August 18, 2025

Harry Peglar on September 16, 2025

The initial paper was just Bridgens, but then it kept getting delayed because we kept getting positive matches! What a problem to have haha. After the Orren match we still had two DNA kits in transit, so we decided to just wait until they got back to submit it in case we got lucky again. And then we did with Peglar! But Peglar was significant enough that he got his own paper. Anyway my blog post goes into more detail on all of that, if you once again would like even more reading material 😉

Thanks again!

What would the nightmare version of your OC be like in TNMN?

Azrael Marchitar, the Grim Reaper of the Astral Circle, and Angel's Nightmare Counterpart!

Azrael would share the same realm of the astral circle with Ishtar Ereskigal, as a personification of death that values life more than anything, he cherishes even the smallest bits of life she brings to every living pest she creates around her. Of course, escorting souls to the afterlife means having to deal with other nightmares that try to take them for their own twisted pleasure, two of which being Xezbet Xerbeth (a Soul Eater) and Dagda Crom Cruach (A Soul Scarecrow), who Azrael takes a great disliking to and quarrel with...

As a Bonus, here are some Possible Doppelgangers Below:

And being the Princess of Death, Yan Luo Wang Diyu is one of the many nightmares that Azrael has the deepest respect for, and would follow alongside her on such short notice to reap the souls of the fallen whose deaths Yan Luo provoked, no matter how dreadful and mournful he feels for the innocence whose lifespans were cut short...

I've been meaning to get Azrael done for awhile now, so I figured it'd be a good time to finish him and his info sheet for the Spooky Month! Hope you like it! ^^"

Let me feast on your fear, as I show you a true death.

This is my oc, Valentinus! I’ll put more info about him below. This drawing would be as if he was a partner character in the game!

Valentinus is originally a Percy Jackson OC! A Roman from the Second Punic War, now being thrown into the present and having to deal with a bunch of demigod stuff!

In this au, he isn’t a demigod however.

During a fight against Carthage, Valens was pushed off a warship headed to modern-day Spain and ended up in New Wirral. He struggles with the new language and technology, but is still a proficient warrior (even in cassette battles!). Studying under Gladiola, he seems to have a story that is full of death and fear…

Was out for the last day of deer season with my dad and we stumbled across a carcass dump site. It was all does and cows (moose) and I just... I felt so bad that these beauties are seen as lesser because they don't have antlers. So I picked up some of the most intact ones and brought them home. I want to clean them up and let them have another chance to be admired, even in death.

I've sent him before but I gotta share my goblin

Meet Robloxia-0130 Roblox, better known as Terminus!

He's no nonsense most of the time, but occasions may call for him to be a bit more relaxed!... such as dealing with someone flooding his office with ball pit balls.

A bit outdated with some information but this is his original ref that I made either last year or earlier this year. He's also VERY short. He's 4'9" (The shortest of all my admins)

And then... A different appearance.

In times of trouble, when the darkened blade must be summoned, I find myself found in a state of decay by my own doing, and I must maintain it, lest those undeserving of harm be caught in the winds of death.

Darkhearted Terminus, inspired off skeletons and mummies! He's so cool imo :D
