Other people want Doctor Who to go back to it's roots by having the Doctor be a white man. I want Doctor Who to go back to it's roots by having the Doctor tell a Dalek to kill itself. We are not the same.
Definitely not the last time I’m going to talk about this but the relationship that Holmes has to Watson’s writing is so so interesting to me.
He obviously loves the attention to some extent, (Holmes’ relationship with attention seeking is a whole bag of worms) but in addition to his obvious gripes about the way in which Watson writes (tales rather than lectures etc, etc) he seems to have complex feelings on how much they focus on him.
Post retirement Holmes says he wants to reject notoriety altogether, implying that he only allowed Watson to help him gain it because it would be of professional value to him. While I’m not sure I fully believe him there, I can definitely see how that would be the easiest way for him to rationalize the stories and their popularity. But still, this is the same blushing sensitive to flattery Holmes who is constantly putting on a show for Watson and by extension his readers.
Even if Holmes is embarrassed by it, he enjoys it. Full stop. But he also hates it. And there are definitely a bunch of different reasons why he could dislike the stories, but I think the most obvious reason is that Watson can’t seem to decide weather to idolize or humanize him. Holmes dislikes that Watson doesn’t include many of his failures while at the same time hating when his magic tricks are explained. And maybe thats unfair of him, he can’t have it both ways, but if he can’t then why can Watson?
I also can’t help but think about all the times where Watson describes Holmes as cold, machine like, etc. I’m not sure how Holmes feels about that in canon (if he refers to it at some point let me know) but I know that when people have described me in similar ways it really fucking hurt. At the same time it’s tempting to take pride in it, an insult that becomes a complement if you lock enough parts of yourself away.
IDK like I said I’m not done talking about this just wanted to ramble for a second.
Sherlock Holmes from Elementary being autistic, Sherlock from the BBC show being autistic, just Sherlock Holmes, in general, being autistic, Temperance Brennan from Bones being autistic, Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars being autistic,
Fellow neurodivergents of Tumblr, I have a question for you:
What are your favorite neurodivergent headcanons?
Mine are Jake Peralta from Brooklyn Nine-Nine having ADHD, Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables having ADHD, Shawn Spencer from Psych having ADHD, and I'm sure some others I can't think of atm and will add when my brain is working a bit better lol.
I have this vision of Holmes getting sick or injured while out investigating, idk, anything that puts him into a vulnerable position really. But he will politely but very sternly prohibit anyone from fussing, or helping or touching him, insisting they GET WATSON, and that's his last word on it. And when Watson finally arrives, Holmes all but melts into his care, and Lestrade realises a) oh Mr Holmes was really not feeling great and b) those two have something really special going on
Being next to a nuclear reactor that‘s gonna melt down with Jean-Luc Picard… well we both won’t know how to deal with that but there’s a good chance that enterprise crew will come and rescue their captain so I might survive. Even if we don’t at least I will die alongside Jean-Luc Picard - that’s something…
you've been put in A Situation. you have to deal with it and get out to the other side alive. luckily a portal opens and a Star Trek character emerges to help!
Ok first of all here is the A: LGBTQIA+. And you're telling me it's only about lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people? So you're also excluding pansexuals, intersex people, omnisexuals etc? Even if you refuse to put an A in your acronym there's still a + for other orientations... And what are inclusies? People, who include other people? That's a bad thing?
Sorry, I totally forgot that I wanted to respond to that and left this in my drafts.
You say aspec people don't belong in the LGBTQIA+ community because we are are "not oppressed enough" or "basically straight" but then proceed to say that the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for ally. Like WTF?! Allys most of the time are cishet people. They are straight, they aren't oppressed based on their sexuality in any way and you say they are part of the community and we aren't?! Please explain I don't get it.
I firmly believe that Wilson is aromantic, but he hasn't realized and that's why all his romantic relationships fail. He's got this I can fix them mentality that's why he gets with needy/broken people. He feels sorry for them, he feels empathy and compassion for them, which he mistakes for romantic attraction, and he is sexually attracted to them so he enters a romantic relationship. But when his compassion wears out and he gets burned out from all the emotional labour there's nothing left to sustain the bond (except I guess sexual attraction but I know nothing about that since I'm ace) so the relationship fails.
That's also why I love him and House as a QPR. I know many people ship them romantically but I don't think that would work out for them very well. (House would be the first ex-husband XD)
I don't know if it makes sense, and I yet have to figure out how Amber fits into this headcanon but whatever...
I was thinking about this at work the other day and like. what if the reason Hastings is so in-the-moment to the exclusion of all other moments stems from his service during the War?
Don't think about the past. Go too far and you're confronted with the horrors of the trenches. Shells screaming overhead, no way of knowing where they'll land. The sound of explosions ringing so loud in your ears that you don't know if you'll ever hear anything else again. Great, metal beasts crushing everything in their path. Boys torn apart before they had the chance to come of age.
Go back even further and you have to face the man you once were. The man you can never be again. The man you could have been but can never become after living through what you did.
And as for the future, it simply doesn't exist on the battlefield. It's become a vague, nebulous, abstract concept that may or may not come to pass, so why give it too much thought? The here and now is all that matters. It's the only thing you're guaranteed.

I just wanted to let anyone know who would be interested - I worked on the charachter designs on Hearth & Holmes, a game currently in development by @abigailmoment ! If your curiosity is peaked, you can play the demo, and wishlist it on steam!
These are amazing!!!
I draw some banners for Asexual Pride.
Please, reblog or like it if you will use it as headers.
If I had unlimited funds and could get any car I wanted I wouldn't buy something like a red Mercedes convertible I'd get a 1931 Lagonda 2 Litre, have it gutted, and turned into an electric car.
