February Prompts: Elementary, ginger and clove, please
Thanks for the prompt; have a drabble!
*
“Tell me what you can taste, Watson.”
From him, it doesn’t register as a command. From him, it barely counts as a weird question. Joan closes her eyes, and takes another sip of the strong, sweet chai. “Ginger and clove.”
“Exactly.”
If she thought there was the slightest possibility of his letting it go, she’d ignore the hint of challenge, and relax with her post-opera-matinee caffeine. She sighs. “Okay, tell me.”
“Ginger and clove,” says Sherlock. “Ordinarily, our host also uses green cardamom, and with no stingy hand. We may deduce that he is troubled. Let us investigate.”

Here are two friends. Here are two people sharing their lives. As you wish for friendship, share in theirs. As you seek companionship, share in theirs. As you search for love, share in theirs.

biological differences between men and women are inherently neutral. they do not indicate male superiority over female people. to suggest so is inherently sexist. to complain when female sports cater to female anatomy - such as the smaller balls in the wnba because women tend to have smaller hands - is what sexists do. they want women to be forced to prove ourselves according to standards designed for men because they want to see us fail. it is sexist to argue that women who wish to compete on their own terms are pronouncing themselves as inferior. nobody said that but you. because you’re a sexist that hates women

*at the first Quidditch team practice 1988*
Charlie, the Quidditch Captain: Alright, let's welcome our new Keeper, Oliver Wood!
Oliver, a wee second year: HAPPY TO BE HERE! :D
Charlie: and...my little brother Percy, who's here for some reason.
Percy, also a wee second year: I'm here as moral support and I got the first aid kit ready, just in case. :)
Cassidy, the star chaser and second-in-command: Okay, that's really adorable. Are they inseperable or something?
Charlie: *sighs* They are a package deal, I couldn't get one of them seperate.

I do think the really unfortunate aspect about this partnership is that there are going to be ferrari fans that won’t give lewis hamilton the respect he rightfully deserves and there are also going to be lewis fans that won’t give scuderia ferrari the respect it deserves either. and that is going to be the detriment to f1 and motorsport as a whole if people can’t understand the unique accomplishments they have done respectively and the inspiration they both bring to so many

Absolutely losing my mind over Scar’s stream today
He was already talking to Etho while catching ocelots
Joel logs in and Scar immediately asks if Etho wants to go visit him
We get so many Etho lore crumbs (although he doesn’t fully confirm anything except having stubble and trying to get rid of 2 extra house generators)
They hang out for like 2 hours doing nothing hut chatting
Eventually Scar leaves but forgot that he left his ocelots at Etho’s because he was so excited about boat boys that he never brought them home
