I Feel Like People Are Sleeping On The Awesomeness That Is Sister Boniface Mysteries. I Think It's Considered

I feel like people are sleeping on the awesomeness that is Sister Boniface Mysteries. I think it's considered "cozy murder mysteries" which is just a weird genre to have, but it's a spinoff of Father Brown in the 60's in the Cotswolds of England. I'm not usually a murder mystery fan, they're mostly just 'eh' for me - neither good or bad, just there to have in the background. But I love Sister Boniface for several reasons (which I will admit bias to)

The police are actually happy to have her around. The main DI will find an excuse to pull her into any case they have, and the entire police force love her and will almost always follow her advice/lead, unlike 90% of other mystery shows where the police are always either one step off from bad guys or just can't be bothered.

It shows the wide diversity of women who find their way to a convent. The nuns make wine. They wind up on cooking shows. They host an episode of a really hokey Austin Powers type TV series. They guest star on a children's show being filmed at the church. They love being a part of the cases when they get roped in. The Mother Superior is a cranky Irish lady who is like a beleagured mom who has more luck herding cats than keeping the Sisters out of cases, but she also has a favorite fish in the pond that she feeds, and loves babies and new parents and bends over backwards to help people and lets Sister Boniface blow up the basement with her experiments on a regular basis.

Sister Boniface herself. She was a translator in WW2, she has the equivalent of a masters in chemistry and is the police department's Go To forensics. She has a vivid imagination that borders on cartoonish when imagining the crime and how it could've happened. She rides a motorcycle. She is like 5 feet tall and spicy. The basement of the church has been converted into her own laboratory where she tinkers and futzes at all hours as long as it doesn't interfere with her church duties.

THE SISTER AND THE INSPECTOR ARE BESTIES WHO CRACK TERRIBLE PUNS OVER CRIME SCENES. No, really, there's an entire youtube video of every scene where these two idiots (affectionate) are cracking the absolutely WORST puns related to the crime. Sam Gillespie is the DI and he doesn't seem to actually enjoy the police part of policing, but really likes the community outreach part. He's a WWII vet that was at the battle of Normandy, took heavy losses, got bayoneted (which is brought up in one episode), and as soon as a crime has been committed, he calls in Sister Boniface. There is zero romantic interest between them, she is like his actual sister, and they are absolute enablers for each other's shenanigans, and it is hilarious.

There are no bad characters.

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.

Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.

I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.

The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:

A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.

B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.

tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.

Torture to be a fan of any exotic animal when it's like. 90% of the footage of them is gonna be from dodo videos of people illegally keeping them as housepets . Really wish I could enjoy this video of a lynx but I also kinda wish everyone involved would die

White text over black background between 2 panels that says, "I feel like I've seen a lot of stories where people pay with important things to be immortal."

Panel 2: Voldemort from Harry Potter in a dark robe and holding a wand. He has his snake Nagini over his shoulder.
Panel 3: Flowey from Undertale in a patch of grass. Text that says, "Their happiness"
Panel 4: Text that says, "or their sanity"
Deadpool with smiling eyes through his mask making a peace sign. He's leaning against the frame of the panel with one arm so that it transcends it. He's wearing black gloves and two katanas on his back.
Panel 5: Text that says, "or friends that can't live as long as them, hollowed by compounding loss." The 11th doctor standing in front of his TARDIS, looking down on a row of graves.
Panel 1: Text that says, "And I love those stories." Person in front of a desk reading a book.
Panel 2: The book "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman opens. Text that says, "But I also like the stories"
Panel 3: Text that says, "where the immortal characters find things to love being alive for." Aziraphale from Good Omens sitting on a chair and delicate round table with a plate of sushi. He is wearing a white bowtie and suit and he holds a pair of chopsticks. His expression is content and smiling.
Panel 1: Text that says, "It feels hopeful that people are always worth meeting and knowing"
The 12th doctor and Bill Potts from Dr. Who standing and facing each other. The doctor wears a dark suit and sips from a disposable soft drink cup from the straw. Bill wears a bow in her hair and a jacket with black sleeves. They smile and hold up a fork with a fry stuck on it.
Panel 2: Text that says, "that there will always be things to learn"
Kaos from Discworld series holding a chunk of cheese. He wears a helmet with a visor that looks like it has a black butterfly on the visor and a nametag on the arm that reads, "R. SOAK"
He has cold steam trailing from his hands.
Panel 3: Text that says, "that someone can think the world is amazing and forever doesn't have to be a curse."

From left to right the objects include a seashell, a rainbow with clouds on either end, a sewing needle with a thread through it, a coin with a silhouette of a head on it, the first 9 digits of pi, a small triangle, cube, and diamond, a pawn chess piece, and a fern leaf.
