being in the acd Sherlock Holmes fandom is so crazy like you know how people will read hundreds of fics about their otp falling in love in slightly different universes? We get to do that but with like,, canon tv shows and stuff

everyone is entitled to their own little regency au that lives in their heart and in mine jon gets yeeted back into the 18teens but jonah also inexplicably has all his memories from the next 200 years (i had a wonderful dream!) and is so sure this time he can get the apocalypse done in 50 years max (efficiencymaxing) if he can just sweet talk his archivist (who came back to him 🥰) into being cool about it (because you can only really pull off the 'trick' route once) meanwhile jon is running around edinburgh trying to looney tunes drop a piano on him. ideally this also involves at least two full chapters of both of them mutually pretending to have amnesia in an attempt to get the drop on each other

I love saying “[person/group] really said [quote] and expected me to be normal???” Bc whenever I hear raw and powerful lyrics I’m imagining the lyricist laying on the bed and kicking their legs and giggling like a schoolgirl knowing EXACTLY how it’s going to affect the listener

This is a scene from one of the best things I’ve ever read, book or fanfic, Blind, But Now by aperplexingpuzzle on ao3 (currently @ghirahimbo here)! I cannot recommend this story enough!
If a legend is a regal and intricately woven tapestry, hung on a distant wall, then BBN is that tapestry up close. It takes the legend and lets you see the threads, lets you feel the texture. Every knot, every spot worn smooth over time. The story sees both the original image and the pieces that make up the image. It looks at how the journey weathered the tapestry, looking at the broken threads, the frayed and discolored spots, and sees an image made all the more beautiful because it doesn’t just tell the story of the legend but the story of the tapestry.
This scene really gave me such a deep, almost physical feeling of the heat and immensity of the region. It stays with me and is one of the first scenes that comes to mind when I think about the story. I was hoping to catch a little of that, plus the overall feeling of their encounter, that edge of potential. Potential danger and potential.. something else.

They really wanted s4 to be more horror-esque but I’d argue that bright and goofy s3 had more actual horror tropes that hit with me in it.
The small “get away from the door” before everyone else realized what was happening by Mike, then him shouting at Max to get away from the door right before the glass busted. Classic.
Billy’s feet sliding up on the floor as he’s being taken over in the sauna by the mind flayer. Classic.
The rats? Classic. The rat exploding RIGHT AFTER Jonathan left the room? Classic.
Also wayyyy more body horror. S4 just had people getting twisted up. S3 had people exploding, turning into goo, Billy’s skin slowly having black tendrils of whateverinthefuckthatshitwas creeping up it and also creeping down it when he comes back to himself.
Characters acting sugary sweet when we as the audience knows there’s an agenda. Classic. The scene with Heather’s parents is actually terrifying looking at it as a horror scene and not a sci fi one.
People rag on s3 for a lot of things but the horror element is definitely there.

I’ve really just had this shift in my teaching lately where my knowledge of history and how things connect and change and transform across the centuries has started solidifying and it’s so exciting and life-changing as a teacher
