I love you all for liking this and having as much fun as I. Moreover, spawning funny new denominations like "cardigan tiger" and "The Bed Shop Boys". 🤣

The Perfect Place - Part Three

"You are very good at selling beds,” stated Sherlock (an obvious lie) because that was the first thing he could safely verbalize while fantasizing about John being very good in bed. He was falling so hard for the ex-soldier that it hurt.

John blushed and it was quite adorable. “Thank you. No one ever said that before, actually.” He licked his lips, a bit nervous about this admission. “You are the first who noticed.” He was falling so hard for this customer, it was like getting hit by a bullet all over again.

Sherlock forced himself to not stare at John’s tongue (He failed, by the way. He stared very much but John was so overwhelmed by Sherlock’s praise and gorgeous looks that he did not notice).

“Most people are idiots.” Sherlock shrugged.

“But not you.” John beamed. “I had a feeling that you were already hooked when you first saw the bed.”

Replace the “bed” with “you” and it's spot-on, Sherlock thought.

“You had me at once,” Sherlock confirmed, “when you explained about the,” he made some mental contorsions because he had not listened at all, “the various kinds of mattresses available.”

John nodded enthusiastically.

Sherlock was very proud of himself when he suddenly remembered something John had really talked about. “I also was very impressed with the different kinds of firmness and springiness available.”

“So, do you like it hard or soft?” John asked.

“What?” Sherlock blinked rapidly.

“The mattress!” Realizing what he had just said and what it could imply (actually John had implied exactly what he had said), he quickly backpaddled.

“I mean how do you like your mattress? Softer or harder?” John turned away to wipe beads of sudden sweat from his forehead and also to hide his embarrassed face. He wanted to slap himself for being such a creep. Daydreaming like a teenager and drooling over the one and only customer he had ever had who was actually interested in buying a bed.

John needn’t have worried about Sherlock getting affronted because right now Sherlock was distracted by a burning problem.

The mind palace was currently on fire after Sherlock had pondered about the firmness and springiness of certain body parts John so wickedly hid under these atrocious brown corduroy trousers. He was totally preoccupied with putting out the mental blaze to get his mind functioning again.

Therefore, Sherlock only absent-mindedly answered John’s question. “That depends on the position I’m in.” (He thought about liking it soft when topping and hard when bottoming.)

John startled, confused and afraid if he was possibly facing a mind-reader because that was exactly what he had been daydreaming about before. (Which position the dream customer would prefer in bed, that is.)

Sherlock, realizing what he had just said and what it could imply, quickly backpaddelled. “I mean where the bed would be positioned in my flat. When I’m in. The bed.”

(Which made no sense at all but neither of the two men was aware, both totally besotted with each other and fighting against drowning in a bottomless pit of utter infatuation.)

rank Jeremy's favourite places to do drugs

1. bathroom of a house party

2. right before hooking up and watching reality tv/jeopardy

3. locker room before a game

4. before taking a hot girl walk

and least favorite: right before his freshman year fall banquet where he accidentally left his molly out in his bedroom at home and his younger brother overdosed on his stash while Jeremy was high

AAAAA JUST BARELY SQUEEZING IN AT THE LAST SECOND HERE BUT

HERE’S MY FORDUARY STUFF Y’ALL ALL IN ONE GO LET’S GO WOOO

WEEK 1: FAMILY

WEEK 2: ANOMALIES

WEEK 3: INSOMNIA

WEEK 4: SWITCHING IDENTITIES

Whooo, that was a lot! I only got properly started on these like a week ago; I’ve been back at school for the first time in like 3 years which is really eating up my executive function, and with all the crap that happened in Jan/Feb on top of that I wasn’t even sure I was gonna do Forduary at all ^^’ Not half bad for a very very very last minute mad rush to get something out before the late entry cutoff deadline :D

(I am so tired T^T)

I had a lot of trouble figuring out what to do for the prompts this time around, and eventually ended up making two sketches for each prompt! ...buuuut I absolutely did not have time to do all of them with how late I left it so I just picked my favourite for each week to polish up. I’m probably not gonna finish the others, but I liked how the rough blocking was turning out and I thought the progression of all of them together looked pretty cool, so since I didn’t wanna just not post them I’ve put all the thumbnail sketches under the cut so you can see ‘em ^^

once again rambling about five and lila because i’m fucking pissed. enjoy

“five and lila were perfect for each other because they had so much in common” yet so many perfect couples have absolutely nothing in common???

they could relate to each other in ways that made them hate each other and that’s why they were SUCH good foil characters, i don’t understand why the romance had to be necessary.

there is absolutely no reason that this romance plotline should’ve been created. it was so ridiculously off-focus from what the plot was (AND should have been) and it literally only made the season so much worse.

do writers understand that not every single character has to fall in love with one another? i mean genuinely?

personally i don’t believe five is aro (though he could be ace) because i can’t help but love five’s love for delores (even if she wasn’t real) but i completely understand five aroace truthers because he truly can be independent romantically as we saw in the show.

i cannot wrap my fucking head around the fact that the writers saw two awesome, dynamic, badass characters with arcs and goals outside of love and attention and decided to turn their personalities inside out and upside down for a dumbass dead-end romance that makes zero sense.

five and lila were the only two people on god’s green earth who could understand each other and hated the other for it. why couldn’t they just be frenemies and call it a day?

god fucking damn it i’m so upset

shoutout to 13 year old 58 year old five hating lila and 29 year old lila despising the fuck out of little five !!! <3

fuck you to the worst, most nonsensical couple of all time and space ❌❌

10 swords.

In a spiritual context, the ten of swords usually indicates that you may be severing ties with an old belief system. It can also be a warning to be on the lookout for people in your spiritual circle that may be disloyal or dangerous as this card can indicate curses or betrayal. (oh fuck baby is gonna die)

In a general context, the ten of swords is not a good omen as it can represent backstabbing betrayal, badmouthing, bitching behind your back, bitterness and enemies. It is a minor arcana card of failure, ruin, collapse, severing ties, goodbyes and the final nail in the coffin of a relationship or situation.  (shit shit shit shit)

REVERSED PULL (which it doesnt look it but delulu)

It can signify something coming back from the brink of death or failure, near death experiences and out of body experiences. (i mean we literally saw an out of body moment for klaus)

absolutely once again as always spit balling here.

maybe this means something, maybe it doesn't.

ps i love that we have klaus with some tarot cards. makes me so happy!

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...
