reasons why “The Adventure of the Retired Colourman“ is great

Watson does investigation in his own, Holmes praises him (in his critical manner, but still)

observant Watson

a good mystery

playful holmes: “ ‘However, there is always Nature, Watson—Natureand  Josiah  Amberley—you  can  be  in  close  commune  with  both.’  I  heard  his  dry  chuckle  as  he turned away.” and “Look at the steps I have taken. I have consulted not only the police but even Sherlock Holmes.”

it closes the canon with a pretty good sentence: “You can file it in our archives, Watson. Some day the true story maybe told.”, that also opens many doors for speculation!

ah fuck the ending of the veiled lodger makes me cry every time :(

OFOTD #26

Jellyfish have cells in their tenticles called cnidocytes which, when triggered by touch, release nematocysts which are teeny tiny harpoon shaped structures full of venom which can shoot out in mere nanoseconds.

why do jellyfish only sting when theres physical contact

why doesnt the electricity just surge throughout the entire ocean

why dont jellyfish rule the world

OFOTD #19

Jellyfish don't have respiratory systems since their bodies are thin enough to oxygenate themselves through diffusion.

jelly fish are gonna out-exist us because they don’t know things and they don’t pretend to that’s how it should be

sherlock holmes in his retirement is pure cottagecore aesthetic….leaving london society to live with your lover in a recluse cottage in the country…keeping bees for the heck of it…being gay…

[obvious-things]

being torn between the cottagecore aesthetic and the dark academia aesthetic is so annoying like.... do I want to gather daisies in a wildflower meadow or wander around gothic buildings? decorate my room with flowers and patchworks or old books and candles?? wear summer dresses or turtlenecks?? bake bread from scratch or commit a mysterious and inexplicable murder????

The cost of oblivious daydreaming was always this moment of return (…).

The lions’s mane jellyfish, one of the most spectacular sights in Scottish waters. The huge bell and long tentacles pulse with colour and light, like some visitor from another world.

I was reading the rest of thor bridge on the team on the way home and when I got to the bit where they have the first class carriage to themselves and Holmes puts his hands on Watson’s knees and smiles mischievously, I turned the book so my neighbour couldn’t see what I was reading

just by instinct

the way I do when I’m reading fan fiction in public and things get steamy

then I realised what I was doing and stopped it but it was hard because that scene is just so intimate

“Please don’t be noisy,” said Sherlock Holmes gently. “I find after breakfast even the smallest argument is unsettling.”

“You’re not hurt, Watson? For God’s sake, say that you are not hurt!”

Holmes knew Watson well enough to know that he would lie about being fine just so that he won’t worry Holmes. So he had to make sure that Watson is alright himself.
