I really feel like one of the best details in “A Scandal in Bohemia” that I never see people fixate on enough is that the story starts with Watson stopping in to see Holmes at Baker Street on a complete whim, because he happens to see that he’s home (and Watson is now married and living elsewhere). Like he doesn’t send word first, he’s not invited, he just shows up and surprises Holmes. Which is not that weird but then Holmes is like “oh good, I’ve got a case anyway, you might as well hang out!” which just makes it funnier when the King shows up and is like “I’d really rather speak to you alone, actually” and Watson tries to leave and Holmes is just like “anything you can say to me, you can say to my best friend John Watson, and if you ask him to leave, I would consider it a grave insult, you would be my enemy and I will not help you ever!!” And the king is like “…ok” and just moves on.

like, that is crazy behavior. Holmes is talking about how there’s probably lots of money in this case, and then almost turns away the client for…not knowing who the fuck Watson is?? He’s not even supposed to be there?? He just came to say hi?? “It is both or none”… girl, GET UP.

The marriage of Rhaenyra and Daemon was never a matter of politics. Not only were they already aligned on the same side by the marriages of their children that they arranged (therefore being pointless to marry themselves), but the manner in which the marriage itself happened — in secret with Rhaenyra already pregnant, completely disrespecting Laena's memory and Daemon being the prime suspect in Laenor's murder — was at the opposite spectrum of any wise political decision for either of them.

Re: your tags about Mel pouncing on Caitlyn for feeling superior, it's in chapter 14 (I just binged the whole thing yesterday cuz someone linked it when reblogging one of your drawings)

Mel pivoted instantly, like a sniper switching targets. “And you,” she said, eyes narrowing as she zeroed in on Caitlyn, “don’t get cocky. You’re no better.” “I –“ Caitlyn started, lifting her chin like she could posture her way to higher ground. “Don’t insult me,” Mel cut in, dry as a desert martini. “You adjusted her collar. In public. Right before introducing her to your parents.” “It was crooked,” Caitlyn immediately defended herself. “Sure it was,” Mel said, tone flat. “And I’m sure it just coincidentally required you to use both hands.” “It needed to be fixed,” Caitlyn said, jaw tight, Britishness dialed to eleven. “I wasn’t going to present her to my mother looking like she’d just rolled out of an alleyway.” Vi raised a hand. “Okay, that feels like a –” Ignored. Fully and with intent. “You didn’t fix anything,” Mel shot back. “You made an excuse to touch her. Slowly. With care. I’ve seen less intimacy in wedding vows.” Vi choked on her drink and immediately turned it into a cough. A cough she hoped sounded completely unrelated to the emotional murder currently taking place. Caitlyn turned to her, desperate for support. “Tell her it was crooked.” Mel answered before Vi could even think of replying. “She doesn’t remember. She blacked out under your touch.”

Oh thank you! That’s incredibly helpful!

Look at that @selmut people are quoting you now :D Also all of that IN ONE DAY??? Damn I’m tipping my hat

One of my favourite dark recurring jokes in the Alex Rider books is when it looks like some politician or someone with power might object to the government using Alex because they're all like 'you're using a teenager?' but then they follow it up with 'that's not going to look good if the public finds out' like damn lol good to know everyone's priorities

Given how Sherlock reacts to Lestrade's drugs bust in ASIP, we can conclude that he kept drugs somewhere in his flat at that point (even if he was clean).

Then there's John and Mycroft's conversation on Christmas in ASIB, where we find out that Mycroft has set John and Mrs. Hudson to search the flat more than once, and they actually did find drugs (I'm assuming Mycroft was the one who deduced where the hiding places would be) and got rid of it.

So Sherlock felt the need to have an emergency stash in ASIP, but by ASIB his flat is clean and he hasn't replaced the drugs that his friends and family have thrown away. This shows how much happier he has become over time since he started living with John.

Things that are great about the Emma musical in no particular order:

• Emma physically puppeting characters around the stage during musical numbers

• Mr. Martin: “I brought some seed.” *waggles eyebrows*

• Knightley’s look of disbelief over Mr. Elton’s raptures over Emma’s painting. “I don’t think I have had enough to drink to see the genius” SIR

• Knightley overall giving Jack from While You Were Sleeping vibes

• I don’t know why the set and costumes imply this is happening in the 50’s—however they ARE very pretty. (The script does not imply this at all, strangely, you could do this script with period-accurate costuming and set.)

• The “Harriet is in love with Mr. Martin” “you’ve never been in love, how would you know” song is so dang funny, okay. Emma sings “you have not been in love” TO HIS FACE

• Emma narrates to the audience, and you think it would be awkward, but it actually works really well okay. She wants the audience to be in on her genius, but we end up getting a front row seat to her inner world crashing all around her.

• Mr. Elton interrupts Emma’s song imagining what Frank is like to give his proposal and it is. Stellar. The interruption, that is. The proposal is appropriately painful.

• Mr. Martin: *stammers incoherently* “Um…” *digs something out of his pocket and offers it to Harriet* “Walnut?” (This happens three times.)

• Emma: *about Jane* “One never knows what she is thinking!” Knightley: *deadpan*: “I know the feeling.”

• Mr. Martin is the best part of this musical, okay. He steals every scene he’s in.

• Mr. Woodhouse, aside, but still much too loudly: *about Mrs. Elton* “Ghastly woman. Who invited her?” Knightley: *chokes*

• Knightley constantly looks like he’d gladly put LEGOs in Mrs. Elton’s shoes

• Knightley lets Emma fix his tie while they are arguing. ✨perfection✨

• Emma: *after Knightley dances with Harriet* “I thought you said dancing was a waste of time.” Knightley: “I was provoked.”

• Knightley being a high soaring tenor is honestly not what I would have gone with. But I’m obsessed. And his song??? TOP TIER.

• Knightley defending Jane from Mrs. Elton >>>

• Knightley kisses Miss Bates on the cheek after the Box Hill Incident CRYING he is so kind

• This Knightley gets a 7 out of 10 on the “badly done, Emma!” scale with bonus points for the added line “I was fooled before, you are still a child.” He’s been docked points for not shouting, though

• Jane is the one who tells Emma about her engagement and…apologizes on Frank’s behalf? I’m not actually sure how I feel about this, I just felt it was worth mentioning

• Emma’s song when she realizes she’s in love with Knightley is WONDERFUL. (Also the line “it’s wonderful, it’s torturous…I think I may have hives” caught me so off-guard 😂)

• We get a scene where Mrs. Weston tells Mr. Weston that she’s pregnant??? And it’s so sweet???

• Emma sings “Badly Done” TO HERSELF

• Harriet turns her “Humiliation” song from the ball around on Emma when Emma realizes that if Harriet and Mr. Knightley marry it will be all her doing, and then Harriet starts puppeting HER

• “Mr. Knightley!” “Emma!” “You’ve returned, then.” “…apparently.”

• Listen. Does the proposal have “if I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more?” No. But it is cute, they are both crying, Knightley is so overcome with emotion that he dramatically collapses against a nearby pole, and we at least got the “I cannot make speeches” bit.

• I have to say, it’s probably my 3rd favorite Emma adaptation and I highly recommend it to everyone, it’s currently free to watch (with ads) on Tubi

does solomon realise that everyone thinks ik is his kid and if so does he embrace it

it probably takes him a while but i reckon he does figure it out? either from asmo being nosy or barbatos saying something like (scornful) "how a wretched man like you had a child i will NEVER know" and solomon's like "what??????"

i feel like he'd neither confirm or deny it... on the one hand, it could be advantageous for the rumour to spread, since it might make any dangerous demons think twice - or it could bring more unwelcome attention and make things even trickier

i think he's also cautious about it because ik has a weird relationship with fatherhood in general, so he doesn't try to genuinely act in that capacity, but given he's ik's primary guardian right now, he also can't really avoid it? so he keeps supporting the dad theory without trying

the others assume that they're being evasive about it for ik's safety, which also why ik calls him by name. i imagine diavolo realising what he thinks is the truth and being like "aww how sad, his daughter can't call him dad :("

ik doesn't even notice everyone else thinking this. the brothers try to subtly interrogate her and she just answers vaguely with relation to her actual father, without actually contradicting them, so she's not helping with their theorising either

revisiting crassus, clodius, and the bona dea scandal! but this time with a new composition and a limited color palette

originally when I drew the first version of this idea, it was back when I thought that crassus would be a week long fixation at most (lmao), and instead he just. took up permanent residence in my mind. it seemed like a fun thing to go back to an earlier idea and see what changed now that I've spent a lot more time with everyone involved in this era!

also the way these two interlocked politically. I am. biting into it.
