Why is Holmes holding a severed chicken head on this cover?

This is frankly ridiculous as many fish species can change sex, as well as lizards, amphibians, trees, etc.

How can you be so damn bigoted you get mad at like, facts of base reality? At what point do you take a beat and wonder 'are we the bad guys?'

The thing that gets me is that their “adult human female” slogan specifically excludes non-human animals, so they don’t have to care that some fish change sex. And yet they literally can’t keep themselves from getting into a froth about it anyway

Hey, if you're wanting to make some changes to how you eat, remember- it's much easier, healthier, and more sustainable to ADD foods that make you feel good than it is to REMOVE foods.

If you feel like you don't drink enough non-sugary fluids, it makes more sense to try drinking more tea and sparkling water than it does to just avoid soda. You gotta add in the good (and remember, that the only value food has is how it makes YOU feel. Food is morally nuetral and should be enjoyed.)

Try:

Remember- food is a gift. It should bring you joy, not stress. Trust your body. Enjoy the cookie. Drink something tasty.

I just want to point out the claim that everyone is grossly dehydrated and needs 8 glasses of water a day is actually a corporate propaganda from water bottle companies. If you drink when you're thirsty, you're getting enough water. I'm really tired of seeing otherwise reasonable posts wailing about a largely fabricated "dehydration epidemic."

Totally true! Not everyone is dehydrated. Trust your body- drink when you are thirsty.

I just know that I end up chronically dehydrated (probably from the ADHD. My brain forgets to keep reminding me that I'm thirsty....) so making an effort to build in reminders to drink *anything* is super helpful for me.

Remember: veggies that have butter or cheese or whatever other "unhealthy" thing that you WILL eat will always be better than plain veggies that you don't.

Food isn't just numbers, it's meant to be enjoyed.

Not only are you more likely to eat MORE veggies if they are served in a way that is enjoyable, but vitamins A, D, E, and K are specifically fat soluble. Your body gets MORE nutrients out of veggies if you eat them with some form of fat. Salad dressing literally makes salad more nutrient-available.

Next important poll:

Personally I think the wicker chair is Holmes' for a few reasons! Firstly I put the Persian slipper on his side.

But also I was trying to make it this chair:

It pops up again in this illustration and again it's Holmes sat in it, but it's suddenly become a rocking chair

There's no consistency though, Holmes and Watson sit on a variety of chairs in Baker Street scenes. The consistent thing is that they don't sit in them normally. The trick to sitting in Baker Street is that you have to curl up...

Or sit on it backwards...

Or do some sprawling...

Use a chair as a footrest...

And sometimes you just have to prop yourself up on the table.

Can someone give Holmes a hug, please?

Ugggh this is one of those great Jeremy Brett moments where the fact that he had a whole backstory for the character in his head pays off so well.

by god do not tag my posts as “q slur” i feel like im going to combust. if the word queer bothers you just dont reblog the post and block me

I never go on twitter (because, you know, it’s twitter) but I just had a look at it to check up on Hank and I’m glad to see he’s being *extremely* Hank about this

“You have formed a theory, then?”

“At least I have got a grip of the essential facts of the case. I shall enumerate them to you, for nothing clears up a case so much as stating it to another person, and I can hardly expect your co-operation if I do not show you the position from which we start.”

I lay back against the cushions, puffing at my cigar, while Holmes, leaning forward, with his long, thin forefinger checking off the points upon the palm of his left hand, gave me a sketch of the events which had led to our journey.“

Look, the scene that was the inspiration for Sydney Paget’s famous drawing of Holmes and Watson in the train! This one:

victor is too fun to draw

One way to be an ally to disabled queer people:

If you want to attend a pride event, ask about their accessibility plans and policies.

Ask about their covid policies. Ask if they are accessible to mobility aid users. Ask if they will have strobe lights, if there will be bathrooms, if there is water. Make the event planners consider who they may have left out, even if the person being left out isn't you. Have your friends ask as well. Help create a demand. Help get conversations started. Help people see where things could be more accessible.

Because when we, the disabled, ask these questions? We're much more likely to get ignored, and much less likely to be heard when we raise hell.

So help us raise hell when we need it. Demand to know why your local Pride event isn't requiring masks, or is charging for water, or doesn't have wheelchair ramps, or whatever other accessibility issue you catch.

Stop leaving us behind. We need your fucking help.

Be the “annoying” person to event organisers, because disabled people always have to be the “annoyance”. It’s nice when we don’t have to be the ones organisers shoot dagger eyes at for once.

they're all together now

holmes got caught trying to break them out

nothing sets me crying more than reading the teasers for the wicked powers/the black volume of the dead, so why not overanalyze them and wish for death in the process (i got all of them from the page on fandom)

adding on to a couple of these bc i reread secrets of blackthorn hall

KIT IS ALREADY AFRAID THAT HES A DANGER TO HIS LOVED ONES. we’ve seen that w his reaction to mina and mother hawthorne, and his letter to jace

“the truth is—i havent wanted to admit it, but the truth is minas always been in danger. because of me. because i have some long-past faerie ancestors, so everyone close to me is in danger.”

and obviously we all know that in each series theres some aspect of forbidden love. thats kinda cassies thing. - we dont talk abt tmi and its issue w incest - tid is obviously wills curse and jem being destined to die - tda is the parabatai law and the whole turning-into-flaming-giants thing - tlh has a LOT of forbidden love, ranging from gay relationships in the 20th century, to illicit affairs w taken people

so its safe to assume twp is also gonna be forbidden love some way or another

so what im saying is that kit is gonna be still freaked out that mina was kidnapped, and hes gonna want ty to stay away for his own safety

so what im thinking abt is how the fourth, fifth, and sixth teasers above could apply to this theory

the fourth could be ty talking to kit, where hes saying that like “i could love you quietly and not say anything because you dont want me to say anything”

the fifth could be, like i said, after a battle where kit finally tells ty he acc does love him, but im also thinking that kit pretends he doesnt love ty in hopes that ty loses feelings (hint: it doesnt work)

theres really nothing to elaborate on abt the sixth one tbh

loudly going "YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE GOOD" to myself to ward off the memory of every embarrassing thing i've ever done

Being in your twenties is just

Have I eaten today? Do I have autism? I want a new job. Am I dehydrated? God, I want top surgery so bad. Where's my birth certificate? Oh it's nice out today! Should I get high tonight? I'm so hungry. I'm so sad. Do my friends hate me? I need a nap. I'd be so much hotter without tits.
