I know Tom Scott posted ths video a day ago, but the thought of him flying into the sunset keeps crossing my mind.
What an absolute treasure

um could i get headcanons for Edward crushing on a fem!detective/pi??
oh HECK yeah!!
can we say power couple??? <3 <3 <3
At first, he’s quite shy about approaching her simply because she’s got such an impressive job. Even being who he is, from a prestigious family, he’s afraid he wouldn’t be interesting enough for someone like her. She’s so intelligent! And while he knows he’s no idiot, solving puzzles like she does every day isn’t his strongest suit. What if he can’t keep up with her when she wants to have conversations…? So for a while, he keeps his distance out of insecurity.
However, he doesn’t miss the point that if he did get together with her, they would be one of London’s most powerful couples. A knight-in-training who’s an expert with a sword alongside one of Scotland Yard’s top detectives who unravels mysteries? The headlines practically write themselves. He fantasizes about it sometimes, having her on his arm (or, indeed, being on hers) and having everyone look at them with thoughts of, This is what we should aspire to! This is what a happy, fulfilling relationship looks like! Maybe it’s a tiny bit selfish in that it fills him with pride, but what else are fantasies for?
Can’t bring himself to talk to her about anything other than small talk or things relating to business. He doesn’t ask her if she has plans for the next afternoon; instead what comes out is a poorly-executed quip about how rainy it’s been lately. As if she doesn’t already know!! He could kick himself sometimes. He’s just so damn awkward around this woman.
Sometimes Lizzie, blunt as she is and trying to be helpful, will invite (Name) over for tea. She thinks that if she’s along as a buffer, then her big brother will feel so much more confident about this. However, it usually happens that she’s whisked off to meet Ciel or go shopping in town or something of the like, so… poor Edward is left alone trying to charm this lady. And, well, try he does. He finds that she seems to prefer it when he’s just being himself, rather than when he’s trying to impress her and making himself anxious.
Once, the lady invites him along on an assignment of hers, under the guise of it being someone his family associates with who’s under investigation. Surely he’d want to see firsthand what’s going on, right? And she also thinks it’s going to be quite an uneventful evening aside from the two of them spending a little time together. So, like the gentleman he is not wanting to hurt her feelings, he accepts. Of course… things do take a turn, and it’s lucky that he always has his sword on hand. Whatever vile villain thinks they can lay a hand on (Name), Edward proves them sorely wrong. It only takes a moment after that, with both of them shaken, for him to blurt out the question she’s been waiting for him to ask: “Will you go with me?!” (Go where and when is up for consideration, but… the details can be ironed out later.)

There is something both sad and liberating to be sure that all my suspicions were right and my friend did, in fact, only need me as 'the only friend' they had. Like... I suspected, but there still was something liberating in seeing how they've stopped having any struggle and doubts with getting rid of me as soon as they've found a new friend - and an outlet elsewhere.
It is, like... a bittersweet feeling, when I realise that as much as I miss this person, I nonetheless do not have to worry anymore. When a person leaves that did not actually like me and considered me nothing but a burden, a punishment for their sins in the past life and, I quote, a "woke f3minist r3tard and just another terminally online woman"... well, truth can't possibly be something to resent. It is always good to know the truth... I always thought that having no closure would've been the worst thing imaginable, but there was just... something liberating, to just return to being blocked everywhere, without a chance to ask, without ever knowing final words or a reason. For some reason, it feels more like a completion than like an actual verbal goodbye. Like if not knowing what actually happened means knowing more.
Nobody ever listens to this advice, but, once again: do NOT stick with a person you deeply resent and dislike and find 0 good traits in just because you've convinced yourself that you "do not deserve anyone decent anyway" and that "no one else will tolerate you anyway". Despite the common misconception, not all people are compatible. Some people are just such a terrible match that they WILL destroy each other, and there is no way to make this "friendship" work. It is never a punishment or a burden you're obligated to endure, but the only limits to how great friends you can have are often the limits you put on yourself.

It’s absolutely insane to me that Treasure Planet, a film I adore, is only just now finding traction again. Mainly with teens and preteens I notice, but still - I had that on a VHS tape. I remember the scene when they’re riding the supernova having a scratch all the way through where the tape was damaged. And now kids can watch it on flatscreens with zero hassle?? I love that! I like seeing younger people ‘discovering’ media I loved at their age too, that’s so cool!
