I started reading the latest Letter from Watson when I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep, but then had to stop bc I had to be fully awake to react to this:
“With your natural advantages, Watson, every lady is your helper and accomplice. What about the girl at the post-office, or the wife of the greengrocer? I can picture you whispering soft nothings with the young lady at the Blue Anchor, and receiving hard somethings in exchange.”
PINNACLE ACE MOMENTS FROM AROACE ICON OF ALL TIME SHERLOCK HOLMES
We got:
Holmes expecting Watson to flirt information out of all the ladies like a stereotypical DnD bard or the Face from the A-Team or something
Him acting like it’s? such an obvious approach?? what do I have an allo partner for if he’s not gonna seduce information out of everyone???
Incredible Ace Moment of accidentally making innuendo WAY more extreme than you intend. HARD SOMETHINGS FROM THE LADIES, MR. HOLMES?!?!
The completely matter-of-fact pragmatic approach to how hot Watson is
Incredible. Iconic. Happy “Watson whispering soft nothings to receive hard somethings” day to those who celebrate.

Ray and Isabella headcanon because I love sadness
Ray's mother.
the woman that abused him and killed each and every one of his siblings without a second thought loving flowers and carrying around roses in a cluster was a sick joke to Grace Field Ray.
Why? because what "she" used to kill the children were red flowers that almost looked like a cluster of many.
When she died, Ray never brought a red flower to her grave, but instead, white ones.

My brainrot today is thinking about just how incredible for a character Eowyn is.
Genuinely. The series might not have many female characters but the ones we do get go so fucking hard.
To me, Eowyn is literally the definition of defining being a woman for oneself. She rejects the roles she is given despite acknlowdging the importance and its mostly because she knows part of the reason is that she is a woman.
The reason why she is obsessed with Aragorn isn't because she loves him but because she wants what he has. She wants the freedom and courage and bravery that Aragorn has at every turn. She literally has multiple conversations during the Two Towers about how what she fears most is a cage. All this girl wants is the freedom to be and not be forced into a role. The best thing is that she literally gets that.
The segment of Return of the King about Eowyn and Faramir is literally about her piecing together what she truly wants. She doesn't want Aragorn. She wants freedom and the ability to choose. Faramir does nothing but encourage that in her. Their love story is literally one of the healthiest love stories I've seen in a long time because at the heart of it, their love is a place to return home to for both parties. Both go off to lead and help their people for a considerable amount of time before returning to each other but that does not diminish their bond. Even Faramir, I believe, falls in love with her bravery and dedication to her loved ones. The reason she went to Pelenor Fields and Gondor with the troops of Rohan was because she had things she wanted to fight for. She wanted to fight for herself, her people, and her loved ones. She is the one who protects Theoden after he is killed so that his body gets the treatment it deserves. She encourages Merry and helps him go to the battle because she sees her struggle in Merry. They feel helpless standing around when there are things to be doing.
Let's also not forget the fact that she was around Grima Wormtounge just as much as the King was. She was exposed to the same poison and awful words that eroded the king. It's even implied that her care for him is part of the reason why Theoden was savable when Gandalf showed up. She had the same power and bravery as everyone else even if she didn't see it in herself.
Then at the end of the day, SHE decides where she wants to go and what path she wants to walk. She walked the path of a warrior. The path of a princess/ruler. The path of a caretaker. But in the end she decides which elements truly mean something to her outside of gender definitions. That is what makes her character so incredible to me. In this she literally kills one of the biggest enemies in that battle with such a badass line.
