Just reread The Copper Beeches and VIOLET HUNTER APPRECIATION, WHO’S WITH ME?

She’s one of the smartest, most capable women in the whole series. She makes her own living and her own decisions. Honestly, she does most of the investigating herself out of curiosity and intuition.

She also realizes that she’s headed into a shady situation, and even though she has no other way she has the foresight to get backup from Holmes and Watson.

She’s also one of the few female characters in the series who’s happy ending doesn’t involve getting married. She doesn’t even have a love interest! She stays single and has a successful career.

Also “artistic, luxurious hair” THE CONFIDENCE! She knows what she’s about!

Anyway I hope you appreciated this stupid rant (is it a rant if it’s positive?) about why we should worship Violet Hunter.

Walked up the stairs at work today… literally 5 stairs… and it took me 10 minutes to catch my breath and bring my heart rate down 🫠

sometimes I forget standing up isn’t painful and difficult for most people so I’ll be watching something like game changer and see the people standing behind their podiums the whole episode and think ‘wow don’t they need to sit down. how can they still think coherent thoughts’ and then I’m like oh. yeah. I have a disease

never letting ya’ll forget “come home and shout at me. come home and fight with me. come home and break my heart, if you must. just come home.”

It is important to note that I’m on such a Sherlock kick bc I’m currently chipping away at my ACD collection. I do have other interests 😅

A Study in Scarlet is just Watson going "I love detective novels," and Sherlock Holmes desperately shoving Dupin out of the cultural consciousness and going "I could be a detective novel!"

⚠️⚠️SPOILERS FOR THE CRUEL PRINCE ⚠️⚠️

My favourite animal is Jude in the mortal world.

“I begin to curtsy before I remember myself and awkwardly stick out a hand”

PLEASE

And how when a boy smiles at her she’s like WHAT DOES HE WANT??

And then two minutes later, he tries to flirt with her and she full on punches him in the face.

She’s so out of touch despite being born there. It’s funny and sad at the same time

“Heather seems nice. Heather has no idea what she’s getting herself into” HAHAHAHAHAHAA

Hot chocolate & reading.

Watson in adaptations: Holmes your plan is crazy no way I am doing all those really specific things...ok fine I guess you're the genius or whatever 🙄

Watson in canon: do you need me to kill anyone dear. my finger is on the trigger and at your command. I am here to be used. I will literally kill anyone you tell me to.

“Buying books is immensely comforting. Maybe I won’t read them immediately, but they make me feel so much better whenever I’m sad and blue. Just their presence, it’s like having more to look forward to.”

[library-of-ash]

It’s the fact that people are pulling the “they were roommates” shit on Holmes and Watson. Have they even read the books? Just a quick little look? They are the gayest motherfuckers. ACD constantly refers to them as “intimate.” John’s own wife accuses him of using her to seem straight while he’s actually getting off with his bestie. Be for real.

'Holmes is heartless' 'Holmes has a bit of empathy' 'Holmes is a cold thinking machine' 'Holmes is vicious'

Holmes is playing lullabies on a violin to help his (boy)friend fall asleep and he's obsessing over bees and ash whilst adopting virtually every woman he meets. Leave him.

Honestly, excited to be back on this chaos corner of the world. Reinvigorate my hyperfixations, please and thanks 😏
