"Did we love each other so much to reach this goodbye?"

That phrase reminded me of an old Chrobin sketch so I felt like redrawing it

Astrology doesn't seem to work.

If someone just went through or is currently going through a major tragedy, trauma, crisis, or just an overwhelming event and you don't know what to do to be supportive, offer to make them or buy them a meal. Or if you're fairly close to them and you're fairly certain it will be well received, you can just show up at their place with an already prepared meal such as a pot of soup or a casserole (bonus if it's big enough that it could feed them multiple times) or alternatively gift them a gift certificate for a restaurant or food service that delivers.

Often times, especially if someone doesn't have very advanced social skills, and someone is going through some sort of major tragedy, trauma, crisis, or otherwise overwhelming event it can be really hard to know what to do for them to support them.

But when, say, a loved one just died, or you just went through a major traumatic event, or even something generally positive but still overwhelming such as you just had a baby, it can be much harder than usual to meet your basic needs such as feeding yourself.

So if you actually want to help someone who's really going through something, help them meet their basic needs such as making sure they're fed.

Other suggestions if cooking isn't your forte and you don't have enough extra funds to afford buying someone else a meal is doing dishes for them, doing their laundry, and/or cleaning up around their home. Anything to help them get their basic needs met when it's harder for them to meet their own basic needs.

An adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in a world in which the fictional character/literary juggernaut Sherlock Holmes, and all the subsequent adaptations thereof, still exist.

Sherlock Holmes (pronounced Holl-mess, as he is constantly reminding people) just had the misfortune of having parents who really liked the books, and his attitude towards his fictional counterpart is pretty much the same as that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sherlock runs a Youtube Theory channel called Mysteries Unwrapped with Sherlock Holmes. He has received no less than seven cease and desist letters from the Conan Doyle estate, all of which he has so faded managed to rebuff by pointing out that that's literally his name.

(No he won't change his name. He's Sherlock Holmes the real live human person. Let Sherlock Holmes the non existent fictional character change his name.)

John is Sherlock's flatmate. Sherlock almost refused to live with him once he realised that it would mean staying with a medical student named John, and only gave in once John pointed out that: a) he's a biomedical student, which is completely different from an md, and b) his surname isn't Watson.

It's now been three years, which is long enough for them to have developed a genuine friendship, and for John to have a) started working towards his PhD in biotechnology, and b) for him to start dating somebody with the surname Watson.

Sherlock can feel the narrative closing in.

His Youtube channel is meant to be focused on lost media, fan theories and stuff like that, but he keeps accidentally stumbling upon and then solving genuine crimes.

His brother Mycroft may or may not have chosen that name after he transitions specifically to annoy him.

He doesn't even live in London, but somehow the only flat they could afford was on a street named fucking Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes and the Unescapable Power of the Narrative.

I have decided to try and start a new tag game because I think it will be fun:

if you could snap your fingers and make a single AMV or animatic spring into existence, what would it be?

I'll go first!

Fandom: Fairy Tail

Character(s): the whole Fairy Tail guild

Song: Embers by Owl City

@aryaokayfriend @lysitheatheglasscannon @i-love-books-because-reasons are any of you interested in doing this? no pressure though

the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised

Y'all ever read a post so incomprehensible

[tired-stressed-trying-my-best]

My brother and SIL are both sciencey/educational types so when their daughter reached her "but why" phase they HAVE been trying to give at least SOME full answers rather than JUST sticking with the parental "because I say so" style classics. However, she IS still a toddler, so she's a lil confused now and wants to visit the sun's gravitational "pool", an anecdote I hope I remember to tell again in a few years

"I'm always saying this" --me when I've never been saying this

[tired-stressed-trying-my-best]

to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.
