not including the main plot point which is “mi5 agents use a homeless man’s corpse to trick hitler and it somehow works” which is a very real thing that happened both in the show and in real life

a post with the answer and a video with the real scenes will be posted next week so stay tuned!!!

It's UNHINGED that Belle tests the acid by just pouring quite a lot of it on her own leg. Girl you did not have to do that!

The mad scientist vibes on this absolute weirdo, for real:

She just hangs out in her bedroom in a plague doctor mask for no reason other than maybe the aesthetic, since she's up to date on the latest medical developments and that's definitely not it

She deals with unwanted social situations by just dropping disgusting medical facts that will alienate people

She blackmails a criminal into training her as a surgeon

She's touched to the point where she looks like she might tear up when she gets to open up a corpse

When faced with an obstructive, incompetent authority figure she'll just get him out of the way by casually chlorophorming him then lying

Doing dangerous surgery is her favorite thing in the world

Letting her make the first incision is the most romantic thing ever and will get her to kiss you over an unconscious idiot she's about to do surgery on

She just tests new dangerous medical developments on herself and, after she gets it working, on her very startled loved ones

Mostly does it in the puffiest skirts ever that seem to have come out of my childhood daydreams

She'll just lie and pull rank to get what she wants, she simply ignores rules that are inconvenient to her, but otherwise she's all haughty and expects to be called milady

She's intelligent, passionate and stubborn, she's extremely confident, arrogant actually, a bit hypocritical, but she cares deeply and she's learning

What she's learning is how to do gory 1850 surgery, how to do CRIME, the wrongs of colonialism, and that making out in a hospital supply closet is hot

I love her so, so much 😭

[detectivewatson]

Idk if anyone has done this already but…

[detectivewatson]

Pray for my cat. Nothing wrong with her she's just dumb.

This is the only known photo of the first trans woman to have her gender legally recognized in Switzerland.

In 1914, Adine T. sent a letter to her local police to grant her a pass to dress as she pleased. She petitioned that "I be granted permission to live as a woman, to wear female clothing and to pursue female occupations, and to be considered a woman before the world in all and every respect, since my emotional feelings are totally feminine and I feel unspeakably unhappy in male clothing."

Her gender was so clear that even the conservative Swiss government had to recognize it. Obtaining permission to live as a woman "is a matter of life and death for me," Adine added.

111 years ago, it was the first pass of its kind in her nation (although not the first in Europe). When interviewed, Adine described herself similarly to other trans lesbians in the 20th century: "a homosexual woman in a male body.” Source: Matthias Ruoss, "Arnold, Arnoldine, Adine."

Just realised that whenever I see the phrase "I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole" I automatically think of a ten metre pole. Like a comically long pole. A ten foot pole isn't all that long. That's slightly less than two of my body lengths. Not touching something with a ten foot pole still lets you get pretty close to it actually.

As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:

I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you

I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you

I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you

I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase

I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all

I love you
