Yesterday I saw an old woman at Victoria Station, she wore a cardigan and little square glasses, had a bandage on her neck and looked at me like she wanted me dead.
I’m 99% sure that woman was Gertrude Robinson.

I see a lot of TMA headcanons about people being short, but I think the funniest possible height related headcanon is that everyone is pretty average but Elias is short as FUCK
Elias ‘Your Mother’ Bouchard
I keep seeing all these posts about Dracula daily and every time I see Jonathan I’m like
“Jonathan? Jonathan Simms? The archivist? Of the magnus institute?”
And then I realise that the situation in question has not and could not happen in the magnus archives.
Don’t imagine Martin visiting Jon in hospital and gently brushing Jon’s hair whilst he talks about work, and what’s going on in his personal life. Don’t imagine Martin replacing wilted flowers, hanging fairy lights, and setting down two cups of tea (one of which he knows will remain untouched).
Don’t think about Martin befriending all the nurses at the hospital and telling them all about Jon and what he’s like when he’s up and about. Don’t imagine him doing an impression of Jon’s idea of a hilarious joke (the joke never made anyone laugh, but the impression did).
Don’t imagine Martin politely and subtly making sure Jon’s being well looked after, and getting the best course of treatment. Don’t think about the tenderness that comes from unconditional care and love with no expectations.
But most importantly, don’t think about Jon’s hair growing tangled, the nurses seeing less and less of Martin. Don’t imagine how dull the hospital room became without Martin’s thoughtful input. Don’t think about the old cup of tea still sitting on the bedside table (it’s behind a ‘get well soon’ card, only Martin would’ve noticed it).
It was Martin who succumbed to the lonely, but in a way it managed to take Jon too.
