does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.
Listing my favorite things about Watson's first letter to Holmes in Baskervilles cause I love this format SO SO MUCH:
"My dear Holmes" ily standard letter greeting <3
How extensive he is in setting the scene. "Hey ik you told me to be brief and you don't really care about this but the views are SO lovely and I care about them so you WILL experience them as if you were here. Deal with it"
The delightful confirmation that watson STILL won't let sherlock live down that he used to be a geocentrist. King behavior. I like to think he pulls that card every time holmes gets a lil too cocky
ALL THE GOSSIP SHARING
The genuine care watson has for literally everyone around him and how he expresses it. Ily watson <3
"You would find him an interesting study" GODD this little domesticity of how well they know each other is everything to me
RIP WATSON YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED THE CONCEPT OF SHIPPING
This man is such a romantic. Very important to the case that Sir Henry and Miss Stapleton shared some most intimate looks
I bet he reads Jane Austen
"See, Holmes, I know you told me to never leave Sir Henry but!! Have you considered!!! I CANNOT be a third wheel they're SO cute together!!! Unrelated but I already appointed myself as the wedding planner. This is helping us in the case."
"You are aware that I am not a very sound sleeper" fuck!! FUCK!!!
u ever think about how andrew has never been alone? going from group homes, to foster families, to juvie. to tilda and aaron, to nicky and aaron, to palmetto with kevin and neil. his deal with kevin means he, too, essentially has the raven partner system introduced to him up until kevin enrolls in the university and starts classes. and then neil too - jean says in tsc they’re never out of each others orbits for long. he’s never been alone, even when he has been; there’s always been people there talking to each other, filling the air, to the point where he has to break on to the roof for a few minutes piece and quiet. and even then, when neil joins palmetto, he starts joining andrew on the roof (even if they sit in silence he’s still not alone). makes me wonder how he’d react to graduating and having a place to himself for the first time. would it be a relief or would the silence set him on edge?
