I'm sorry to everyone who followed me for transformers, but I am incapable of being consistent. So, enjoy some art inspired by Dead Man's Letters, a depressing movie but if you're in the right mood, an interesting experience. I really enjoyed how alien the gasmasks made the characters in the movie, and I wanted to so a similar thing.
Flash warning below this!

Listing my favorite things about Watson's first letter to Holmes in Baskervilles cause I love this format SO SO MUCH:
"My dear Holmes" ily standard letter greeting <3
How extensive he is in setting the scene. "Hey ik you told me to be brief and you don't really care about this but the views are SO lovely and I care about them so you WILL experience them as if you were here. Deal with it"
The delightful confirmation that watson STILL won't let sherlock live down that he used to be a geocentrist. King behavior. I like to think he pulls that card every time holmes gets a lil too cocky
ALL THE GOSSIP SHARING
The genuine care watson has for literally everyone around him and how he expresses it. Ily watson <3
"You would find him an interesting study" GODD this little domesticity of how well they know each other is everything to me
RIP WATSON YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED THE CONCEPT OF SHIPPING
This man is such a romantic. Very important to the case that Sir Henry and Miss Stapleton shared some most intimate looks
I bet he reads Jane Austen
"See, Holmes, I know you told me to never leave Sir Henry but!! Have you considered!!! I CANNOT be a third wheel they're SO cute together!!! Unrelated but I already appointed myself as the wedding planner. This is helping us in the case."
"You are aware that I am not a very sound sleeper" fuck!! FUCK!!!
#you're aware that im not a very sound sleeper killed me dead actually#the ptsd the unpacked trauma this man has#watson waking up in the middle of the night cause he heard the tinniest clink of holmes's lab vials#'ah dear fellow so sorry to wake you'#'nonsense. my dream was.... not pleasant'#sitting up together in silence until dawn#godddd so much insight from that tiny little sentence watson just brushes off#sherlock holmes#letters from watson#the hound of the baskervilles

A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.
(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)


Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.
#I've started using 'our bees are all dead' as my standard filler during lulls in conversation#and no I am not kidding#that is actually 64 year old George Arthur Lincoln in the recording#I'm writing up a bio of him that will hopefully be up within a few days#because this kid grew up to be involved in Forrest Gump levels of 20th century historical events#he was the youngest american general in wwii and was involved in the strategy of d-day and the planned invasion of Japan#he was at yalta and potsdam#he started a social sciences department at West Point#which resulted in his students being called commies because why should soldiers study culture and economics instead of shoot gun at thing#he ended up as the director of the office of emergency preparedness while nixon was president - hence the phone call#this poor man had to sit through so many meetings with Henry Kissinger#his younger brother (Waunce from the letter) was also a general#they were known as 'big abe' and 'little abe'#toddler transcription

I am a SLUT for unique book formats. Anything. Even just a unique form of storytelling that has the format of a normal book. Gimme a normal book where the narrator is in love with the reader. Gimme a weird book where it’s compiled short stories not in chronological order and there are different ways to order them to make a big story. Gimme MORE WEIRD BOOKS PEOPLE DO YOU HEAR ME
#ketchup clouds is a (fictional) young girl’s letters to a man on death row#who had killed someone#and she basically confesses why and how and who SHE killed#to this man#because he can relate right?#but it’s only her letters#and the last one is written after the man is already dead#and she talks about making an effort to get him out of the situation#and there’s a letter from one of the other characters near the end#OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD#if I was an author. you wouldn’t catch me writing a normal ass book.

Wow. 2025 is learning about your own childhood trauma. Today I had confirmed to me something that I already knew but didn't know how to articulate: I am the scapegoat child of two narcissistic parents. They can't handle me pushing back so they discredit and deliberately tarnish my reputation so nobody will find me credible ever again.
The pipeline from scapegoat to black sheep is real and it all makes sense that nobody respects anything I say as an adult, even if I am the most qualified person to say it. I was also put down in front of random strangers and my flaws were verbally broadcast so widely that parents didn't want me to be friends with their kids and boys were scared to date me or didn't bother because they heard I was "mean and a loser". I found this out because one of them actually told me this! Very interesting.
#the damage has been done now#the community here still thinks i'm a mean loser child with no credibility -no matter how many letters of qualifications come after my name#i brought a man back from the DEAD.....i will not be allowing anybody to gaslight me into thinking i'm stupid again#if you're a scapegoat child#you will understand this post#don't doubt yourself#you've been gaslit your whole life#i think most of us end up embracing Black Sheep status#i actually love it lol#like if they want me to be the weirdo in the family#i'm going to be the most intelligent and powerful weirdo in the family#and quite smugly......i do find it funny when they VERY PREDICTABLY come grovelling to me for favours and money#personal#tw: childhood trauma

If Ejojo has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Ejojo has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Ejojo has only one fan then that is me. If Ejojo has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Ejojo, then I am against the world.
#art#ejojo#boboiboy#boboiboy fanart#I lvoe this man#I love him so much I need the people to see my viison of him#Yes my babygirl killed Probe but thats just how it is for him hes too swag for it yk#He can do whatever he wants <3#Anyway hes a dog in my eyes#I miss him sm#My husband whom have not appeared or barely mentioned#I feel like a 1950s housewife waiting for her husband whos been sent over to fight war#except hes dead and I am now waiting for a letter from the military regarding his death and his tag and uniform#Unless Monsta brings him back#maybe.#I say as I have been delusional about this for 7 years

I sprang to my feet, for the expression upon the millionaire's face was fiendish in its intensity, and he had raised his great knotted fist. Holmes smiled languidly and reached his hand out for his pipe.
“Don't be noisy, Mr. Gibson. I find that after breakfast even the smallest argument is unsettling. I suggest that a stroll in the morning air and a little quiet thought will be greatly to your advantage.”
Holmes mouthing off against the evil millionaire is so entertaining

Welp I feel awful
So I been trying to figure out my gender for a while but the one thing that I’ve always came back to is that I’m a man, and so I told my mom this (for some context I have said I was using like they/them or she/they pronouns before but wouldn’t ever correct them because they would always say it’s hard when they would never use the right ones and I just stopped at a certain point) and so I told my mom how I wanted my hair and she asked why and I told her because I identified as a man and wanted it short again and she legit said “fine but I’m not calling you a he” and like I knew she wouldn’t she never did and she says she supports me being me but hearing that from her really does upset me and makes me feel awful
#I was legit surprised the one time she called me what I preferred (AJ)#transgender#trans man#trans male#small vent#never going to guess that I have mommy issues#but yeah I fucking hate her and my dad sometimes#like they wear all these supportive shirts and what not#and always say they support#but then get upset when I try to correct them on what pronouns I use or what name I go by#I mean I been going by AJ for at least two years now if not longer and they still call me by my deadname or my old nickname#it was a pretty fem nickname to#like I get it can be hard AT FIRST but it’s legit been years for my name#I’ve never changed what name I wanted to use besides AJ and a few small other times#I thought if I changed my name to something starting with the same letter as my deadname then I can just use my initials with them#but NOPE!#can’t even do that#I fucking hate them I wish they would support ME and not just say I do#anyways#guess who kins Barney from dead end

i know hoyo is setting up rhine to have good intent and whatever in her trying to 'save' khaneri'ah or whatever; but i REALLY hope they stay with the cruel persona thats been built up for her. because it would be so wonderful to see a character who had good intent in the beginning just get absolutely corrupted; with the inability to ever go back to that prior state purely because of what had happened. also because there is NO way in her turning back after all that shit
#sorry. i dont think theres any good and plausible explanation for rhine to still be a kind or gentle person in general#she can (and SHOULD) have her moments. but it'd make so much more sense (and be much more impactful) for her to be inherently cruel#because look at all the stuff thats happened#i love the indomitable human spirit trope. dont get me wrong.#but rhine has that in the way she WONT stop her research till shes either dead or murdered. she is not gonna be gentle kind and optimistic#she watched all her kids (that she was SHOWN to care for) get very brutally murdered.#had to then go and kill her next creations that she didn't consider perfect (which most certainly fucks a women up. no matter what you say)#made the 'perfect creation' and the way she treated him was obviously a HUGE contrast to how she was before (being gentle and nuturing)#and left him (albeit with what we can guess was good intent) with NO goodbye just#a recommendation letter. a text. and his final mission#she could have good intent#and still care for others#dont get me wrong!!!!!!!#but shes. human???#humans can be (as much as i hate to say it) a tad selfish when it comes to survival#and being antagonized demonized AND shunned by teyvat and even her own people. having to survive multiple gods wrath#isn't. gonna be good for the human psych#and it isn't gonna be something fixable#look at how furina progressively faltered over a hundered years WHILE being adored#she already started waning in her ethics and morals (as someone immortalized as a human WOULD)#with exposing lyney and all of that when it was VERY clearly the morally wrong thing to do (which her as a human would know)#and being relatively pessimistic and clearly spiralling#(no hate. i love furina with all my heart.)#if thats how FURINA started going#imagine rhine who has nobody (save maybe alice. but i doubt she'd be constant given her spontaneous nature and refusal to sit still)#shit man. even I'D go crazy and be horrible.#its okay and natural to be bitter#and its not as if anybody was there to help#hexenzirkel has a ton of women who survived their own nations falling yes#but not ONE of them (from what we know) has had circumstances any where near rhine's

also i do still love the idea of swapping claire and leon's re2 scenarios but i cannot help but think that the scene with sherry and chief irons would have been a LOTTT worse with leon instead of claire
#arry plays re2#like. the guy already barely held back with claire. he was fully ready to kill her if either her or sherry didn't do what he wanted#also the game takes place in 1998. i think he would have been a lot more liberal with the punches if it were leon instead#i think about this regularly actually. i don't know if the police uniform would make it better or worse for him#probably worse. idk from what i've seen from leon's campaign it does seem like he met irons before. probably when he got the job#idk if the recognition would do him much good though.#hm what to tag this.#idk if it necessarily warrants a tw?#idk re2 goes hard into the corruption and corporate greed side of things. idk about the original but its a HUGE part of the narrative#in the remake. i kinda wonder how much chris shared with claire about the events of the first gamw#probably not much. she seems pretty clueless about it all and he doesn't seem to have reached out to her like. at ALL#and neither has jill for that matter 🤔 oh man i gotta play re3 after this too#i know the remake for re3 wasn't that good apparently but there was something abt jill being suspended in that game#so she may not have seen chris' letter but i really don't know#iirc jill seemed pretty set on leaving the city too. she might have quit#which. i do Not blame her akdjskdjs i would quit too after that bullshit#anyways! :D good game so far. even with mr. x getting all up in my business#he can fuck off but like it was the only time i've been actually scared so far sodjskfjdknfd#i also love claire's little comments/insults towards the zombies akdjskfjsjf#'what the hell is up with you???' claire girl they're fucking dead#well. undead technically. still. that's what's up with them.#violence tw#yeah it does warrant the tw actually
