Manic Pixie Dream Girl Bobby Brackenreid

It's getting late, and I - Cannot seem to find my way home tonight - Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole - Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone - What would my head be like - If not for my shoulders - Or without your smile? - May it follow you forever - May it never leave you - To sleep in the stone - May we stay lost on our way home - C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me - I'd like to believe in all the possibilities - If I should die tonight - May I first just say I'm sorry? - For I never felt like anybody - I am a man of many hats - Although I never mastered anything - When I am ten feet tall - I've never felt much smaller since the fall - Nobody seems to know my name - So don't leave me to sleep all alone - May we stay lost on our way home? - C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me - I'd like to believe in all the possibilities - C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me - I'd like to believe in all the possibilities - Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate - It could leave, it could leave, come the morning - Celebrate the night - It's the fall before the climb - Shall we sing, shall we sing, 'til the morning? - If I fall forward, you fall flat - And if the sun should lift me up - Would you come back?

Manic Pixie Dream Girl Bobby Brackenreid refers to the very specific lens through which I view the recurring character Bobby Brackenreid from long-running Canadian period drama murder mystery show Murdoch Mysteries. Bobby is the youngest child of Chief Constable (formerly Inspector) Thomas Brackenreid, one of the show’s main characters. This is a niche with which only I and a small handful of people with whom I have shared this really engage, essentially being my personal Murdoch Mysteries Weltanschauung that I swear makes sense once you deep dive enough into my twisted mind palace (this shrine).

This page is a WIP that I consider far from complete. I have so many more sections planned and in the works, so keep an eye out for that. I could talk infinitely about these guys. Teehee.

Three important principles of MPDGBB

Andereid : ship with the character Lyle “Junior” Anderson Jr., a character who appears in one episode

Queer/Transgender headcanons : I personally headcanon Bobby as transfeminine, while I also like to analyze some of the actual queer subtext in parts of both his (her) character and his brother’s plots.

Daddy issues : A crux of analysis for both Bobby and Junior’s characters, as they are first and foremost the sons of two much more important characters, Chief Constable Brackenreid, who is part of the main cast, and Agent Terrence Meyers, a major recurring character.
