Watson’s trying his hand at deductions (it’s not going well)
"We're sometimes here to help"
university notes have never been more entertaining
aaand there goes my heart
head cannon: years after neils death, todd is walking home after visiting all his friends, and when passing by a theater, a boy around the age of 17 stops him and hands him a flyer while smiling "come see our show! i play the lead!" and when todd looks up, just for a moment, he sees neil. so going forward he makes it his mission to go to every. single. show. that theater performs.
The thing is, you read the stories written by Dr Watson and you think “this is the most down bad a narrator has ever been” and then you get to the stories written by Sherlock Holmes from his perspective and he’s somehow worse.
there is a soft space in my heart and it is filled with things like this
Also, secret life has the most references to past seasons especially to limited life. It’s almost like the clocker family never quite left, they still called each other mom, dad, son- Bdubs held on to the gripe about not being the favourite son. Cleo gave him the title, and they all laughed knowing that Scar would be upset. Almost every episode, they acknowledged the family in one way or another
The bad boys still helped each other out. The exchange of hearts and Joel calling it in the name of bad boys. He got tricked into completing Grian’s task in the beginning, but when the entire server was red later on- he didn’t hesitate to help Grian one last time. Even death didn’t separate them. Jimmy stuck around as a guardian angel, guiding one of his boys, laughing as they did ridiculous things- just like the old days. Every now and then, they remembered
The nosy neighbours didn’t forget each other. Although their interactions were rare, when they brought it up was special. Pearl tried apologizing to him (I can’t remember for what), Bigb says he doesn’t forgive her. Just like that, Pearl brings out her big sad wet eyes “but…nosy neighbours?” and Bigb immediately softens his voice and says he was joking. All is good between them. In the finale, Pearl sees him peeking out behind a wall. A fond, familiar sight. “Always watching?” Bigb shifts away and says it back “Always watching” they go their separate ways
I’m not sure if there were references to mean gills or team ties, but those other teams stood out strongly. And there were plenty more to double life, last life, 3rd life. It’s sorta strange, but in a welcoming way, to see more and more callbacks to previous teams. In a season where a huge part of the game mechanic is keeping a secret, in a series where past alliances are usually brushed aside, people leaned over to each other and went “hey, remember when…”

my dad: what are you reading?
me, looking up from yet another fanfic about gay wizards from the 70s and pretending I haven’t cried about three times already: ……… e-book?
*likes post*
will forever love when tango starts roleplaying in the chat
obsessed by how luxurious watson is in the boscombe valley mystery. the iconic red velvet smoking jacket. constantly a cigar in hand. the little shots of him pouring expensive-looking liqueurs. home boy went from a solo scrubby fishing trip to a lavish holiday probably because of holmes and i love how the production plays that up
i am listening
So what ive gathered from the recent charity stream is that next we should gather all the hermits and set them loose on a lazer tag course in the dark just to see who comes out of it breathing. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
