oooh, sherlolly soulmates au?

On his return from Sherrinford, Sherlock discovers Molly's name is on his wrist, and it is infuriating.

"I don't want a soulmate," he snarls, because he's petulant.

"Good, because I don't want you," she says while pulling her sleeve over the place where his name is on her wrist, because this time, she means it.

Give me a pairing, an AU setting, and I’ll write you a three-sentence fic!

[croziers-compass]

tell us about your oc nemesis?

Nemesis! The worst human to ever live and become not-human because he asked the question of: "What Happens if I eat Eldritch Gods?"

An occult expert and the most morally ambiguous creature to ever be cursed to walk the planet. He is full of himself, his ability to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. He would kill anyone or anything to see what would happen. He's based around the concept of "What if a Student of Miskatonic University became too powerful and wanted to impress the Crawling Chaos itself?" And in my personal Terror writing, he's weak and terribly in love with John Irving.

14. A book you love but wouldn’t really recommend to others

I don't really have these books tout court, but there are obviously books I recommend much more reservedly than others, such as:

And anything else by this author for that matter. I enjoy Mishima a normal, leftist amount and am not under the impression that anyone else is obliged to like him.

Бытует мнение, что детство — лучшая пора человека. Согласиться с этим никак не могу. Более того, вижу в детстве именно худшее время, хотя, разумеется, и необходимый этап взросления. Ребенок в силу своих качеств и несформировавшейся личности — существо зависимое и обделенное, неразвитое и подражательное, лишенное глубины и понимания. У него еще только складывается внутренний мир — пока крайне бедный и поверхностный, оттого он больше ориентирован на внешнее, на банальное многоцветие окружающего мира. Ему знакомы пока только самые простые аффекты и устремления, а культурная сложность, богатство мировой мысли напрочь закрыты. Как можно в этом видеть хоть какой-то идеал? При ближайшем рассмотрении подобная ситуация совершенно логична. Онтогенез же повторяет филогенез не только в утробе матери. В момент рождения человека разве ж его онтогенез резко заканчивается? Ничего подобного. Он продолжается в тех формах, которые филогенетически наиболее близки к человеку — то есть в обезьяньих. Дети те же ��безьянки — они заточены на подражание друг другу, на выяснение иерархического статуса среди себе подобных, на стимулы внешнего мира. "Без пяти минут люди" — так один путешественник охарактеризовал шумное поведение обезьян в каком-то европейском зоопарке. То же самое он мог бы сказать и после посещения детского сада. Да, люди, но еще не совсем. Все мы проходим этот путь, хотя милосердная природа позволяет нам помнить немного из пережитого в детстве. Это нормально. Хуже, когда мы застреваем на этапе "детского обезьянничества", когда и во взрослой стадии продолжаем так же выяснять статусы и место в иерархии, гнаться за яркими обманками внешнего мира и подражать "авторитетам". Такая незрелость, несамостоятельность дорого обходится urbi et orbi. Чтобы стать полноценными людьми, необходимо "убить в себе обезьяну", "убить в себе ребенка" — как бы жестоко эти ни звучало. Но на самом деле "умереть одним, чтобы родиться другим" — древнейшая парадигма инициации и обряда перехода, обряда, который мы напрочь потеряли и который на свой страх и риск каждый должен проделывать над собою сам.

All of them also have a lot of variables in appearance, just like us humans do; the things listed here are just the most common traits

+ they all live all over the globe now, many of these species have shared homes for thousands of years

There are also a few species of human in my AU, though I am still developing them

Because I went in a direction of speculative evolution for this setting but still wanted to keep some weird traits for certain human species, I've decided that some of their lineages were altered by ancient gods through magic that's been (thankfully) forgotten to time.

Homo sapiens would just be most bugs gijinka equivalent and most common human species. Here called Homo sapiens vulgaris (common thinking man) since they're the most widespread of homo species.

Homo sapiens major (greater thinking man) is a subspecies of homo sapiens that's bigger and has greater muscle mass, making them overall stronger. They also have quite different societal norms, as majority of them are females and generally females are stronger than males, and mostly form matiarchal societies. They're equivalent to ants and termites. Maybe bees and wasps too but I haven't decided

Homo hyperboreus (man from the Arctic region) is a species of human living in the far north region. A direct descendant from the first saphont humans, as humans in this AU originated from the arctic regions. They're very similar to homo sapiens but have way more hair covering their bodies, which also tends to be light in colour. They're also all mostly dark skinned, to protect from the light bouncing off the snow. No bug equivalent, I just thought it'd be cool to have them here.

Homo gracilipes (slender-footed man) is split into two sub-species; H. Gracilipes Pictus (painted slender-footed man) and H. Gracilipes Hispidus (shaggy slender-footed man). They're one of the lineages that have been altered by old gods. They're digitigrade, posess antennae-like feelers on their heads, have sharp ears, and typically are more magically-inclinned. H. Gracilipes Pictus are diurnal and taller, while H. Gracilipes Hispidus are nocturnal, generally shorter, and with more hair on their bodies. Both species don't have strong sexual dimorphism, with the only thing setting the two sexes apart is the fact that male's feelers are usually longer or fluffier. Pictus are equivalent of butterflies and Hispidus are equivalent of moths.

Homo Sapiens Humilis (small thinking man) are a small species of human originating from a small island archipelago, which is what caused their size (island dwarfism). Another species lineage affected by the ancient gods, some of their members grow hard keratin sheets over their bodies. Bug equivalent are snails and slugs.

Homo Silvestris (man from the forest) are one of the modified species. They are a large, strictly carnivorous human with large, segmented mouths that extend down their throat, sharp teeth, pointy ears, and arms covered in hair, with long claws. Bug equivalent are most arachnids.

Homo Silveris Virosus (poisonous man from the forest) are a modified subspecies of the previously listed human. They're smaller with smaller mouths but are highly venomous. They're carnivorous and hematophagous. Bug equivalent are scorpions.

Now not exactly humans, but very closely related species that are still sapient

Anthropotimidus aquaticus (timid man found near water) is a species of homoids adapted to living in humid caves. Their skin is pale, almost translucent, and they lack body hair. They live in matiarchal societies and mostly keep to themselves. Bug equivalent are flukes and flatworms.

Anthronothos (false/wrong human), a large, cave-dwelling/nocturnal hominid species, evolved to feed on other humans. They live in small communities but are highly aggressive to any other species. HK equivalent of the nosk.

Anthronothos grandi, a subspecies of the aforementioned homonid but much, much larger. Because I can't help myself making biologically-accurate giants.

the terror arctic cruise au

Forgive me for not getting to this sooner! Goodness! I didn't realise something had landed in my inbox!

Crozier would certainly still captain the ship. But dealing with any touristy folks would be left to James who I am certain would be exhausted with the lot of them no doubt by the end of the day. I can only imagine squeezing Collins and Jopson and the Marines onto that cruise ship. It'd certainly be perfectly fine. It's not as though a bunch of folks are looking to navigate the Arctic circle. Little would be quite uncomfortable with the whole ordeal but would put on a good show as best he could, no doubt scuttling to Crozier to make regular reports. Blanky would be utterly entertaining to the guests and going on and on about one of those bears out there that's his wife. I wonder who the sarcastic prick would be that tells the tourists "Yeah. It's cold. It's the bloody Arctic. What did you expect?" You just know that someone is going to complain that it is cold. You've discovered an untapped market!
