Sits down to write.

Something happens, not sure what.

Suddenly I am reviewing handwritten UK meteorological records from 1932 to see what the weather was like in Cornwall in August.

SHIT I FORGOR- Thanks for the tag!!!!

There are a lot of pics in my phone and most aren't selfies, so i chose a bit randomly, but here's one of my dolls in a skirt taken from another one of my dolls (it suits him well); my beautiful darling babygirl Afina (she's a little traitor and pretends to not know who i am whenever i visit, i still love her though. She used to live with me but dad took her when he moved out like two years ago so sadly i only see her like once a month now😔 but she lives her best life); a creeper in a kippah (he's jewish. His name is pillulman because he was standing next to a pill case labeled pilulya (пилюля, which unsurprisingly means pill) when my roommate and i discussed how to name him), and a very cool suit i saw in a mall (maybe I'll use it as a reference for something)

Passing it on to @weeweeweeeeeee @ihateornithologists @moroniccats @the-parmesan-seeker and anyone else who wants to participate :D

@moroniccats now I'm pondering:

Holmes who doesn't have much of problem with articulating his love/affection/etc verbally, maybe is even overly direct with it, but DOES struggle with expressing it nonverbally in a conventional way. And he's still, you know, extremely moody and doesn't like being distracted when he's concentrated on something, etc etc, so he'd be like. Telling Watson how he cares about him but with a straight face and in almost clinical terms, and would carry on behaving as usual, still moody and stubborn and insufferable at times, with these confessions not signalling any change in his mood, just being factual statements

And Watson who's way more conventional in this regard and who's used to feelings being primarily expressed nonverbally, to mimics and gestures and intonation to matter more than actual words, used to social cues and hints instead of straightforward statements. So he really struggles, at first at least, to attune to Holmes's way of expressing love, to fully believe him and to stop seeing the way he acts as contradictory to what he says. He gets there, but it takes time

I want to point out that Holmes is actually an incredibly direct and communicative person instead of the brooding asshole with a heart of gold whose emotions only slip through in rare instances of distress. Believe me when I say that I enjoy such a character as much as the next person but that is not Sherlock Holmes.

If Book Holmes likes you or appreciates your company, he WILL let you know. He will tell you that he is happy you're here and that he wants you to keep helping him with his cases and that he needs your assistance. You will NOT have to wait until he or you are nearly dying for him to tell you that he actually cares about you.

crazy that gravity falls was like, hey what if we made twin brothers, and one of them is the worse one. he gets bad grades, he likes to punch his problems, everyone thinks of him as “the other one.” he’s engulfed in a shadow that’s shaped like him. he doesn’t even have his own name—it’s derived of his brother’s name, the only one his parents planned on having and using. everything about him is derivative—imitative of another person (his twin brother) (the one everyone likes and wants) and is disapproved of for that reason (he isn’t just “bad at this thing,” he’s “not as good as his brother”). and then he ruins his brother’s science fair project (the one next to his own—no one noticed it because it’s not good, it’s almost stupid next to a “perpetual motion machine” made by a high schooler) (he tried to fix it) (he doesn’t know how; he’s not as smart as the guy who made it) and he gets kicked out. the potential of the money his twin could’ve made is enough to throw him onto the street, and he can’t go home until he makes that money back (the money that was never gained and therefore was never lost. he never had a chance of making enough). he took every job he could (his brother went to school). he got banned from multiple states (his brother bought a house). he traveled internationally and went to prison and had people try to hunt him down and kill him because he couldn’t make enough money (his brother’s house has three basements. he made them himself, as secure as can be). and when his twin finally summons him for help, things go wrong (he messed up this machine like the last one) (he doesn’t know how to fix it. he isn’t as smart as the guy who made it) (he tries to fix it) (he was never any good at reading and these blueprints are impossible, coded and fragmented and in a science that he didn’t know existed) (he tries to fix it). the townspeople ask who he is, and he doesn’t even say his own name (it was hardly his to begin with). and he invites them to a house that isn’t his to show off experiments that aren’t his because he needs to make money that can’t be his. everything he does for the next 30 years is in his twin’s name, for his twin’s sake. he had two funerals for himself and it isn’t even his body in the casket; he had to wear his brother’s name to both of them. if he had died before he fixed the portal, that funeral wouldn’t have been for him. we meet him as a funny and unique character, but in-universe, he’s only ever been defined by someone else.

and then they went, this is entirely in the background btw. most of that is going to be revealed in one episode and won’t be addressed again. he’s a primary comic relief, even. I’m ill about this.

ngl it’s kinda weird seeing so many fandoms get so intense about whether a ship is canon or not cause like - just cause a ship is canon doesn’t mean that it’s like, good or interesting or well-written.

in fact, given how many tv shows and books and movies and other stories utterly fail at writing compelling established relationships, like. the odds aren’t on your side, fellas.
