Concept: a mermaid who collects human artifacts, but, like, exclusively objects that humans have dramatically cast into the sea in moments of high emotion, catharsis, or personal revelation. Each item is carefully mounted above a little index card that outlines the circumstances of its hurling in terse, clinical prose.

The Holly and the Ivy, 31: new year, and
the yellow ones. December Drabbles
31 Dec.: new year prompt: last night, and new year
*
Have I ever told you you’re a genius?
Many times.
Amazing, fantastic, brilliant?
You used to.
Oh, hush. I still do. All the time.
You do. Thank you. Where’s this going?
Another proof of your genius: declining three invitations and spending this last night in.
Comes a time when I want just my one person.
I’ve a confession to make. Don’t be peeved.
You have another person?
No, you git. There’s only you for me.
Ah. Fine, then. What’s your confession?
The yellow ones. I hate them. They've got to go.
Fine. Happy new year, John.
Happy new year, Sherlock.

Through Jan. 6 I’ll be posting Johnlock drabbles daily, here and on AO3 (The Holly and the Ivy: December Drabbles)
Nudge me if you want to be added or untagged. I'm pretty random about tagging, but will remove your name right away if you tell me to.
Happy new year! and thanks for reblogging.

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

signs you might be a child of aphrodite
you put your eyeshadow on with your fingers because 1) it’s easier and 2) it looks softer and more whimsical that way
your eyeshadow is also almost always sparkly
eyeliner. that’s all
you have a very strong opinion about lipgloss vs lipstick and you won’t be swayed
you wear SO MUCH highlighter and you have so many different highlighter palettes and compacts
you fall in love with people for reasons that you can’t make sense of
you’ve often thought that love is both so simple and also the most complicated thing in the world
there’s one person who Fucked You Up, and you don’t think you’ll ever truly forget what it was like to love them with your whole entire heart
almost all the people you’re close with now were intimidated by you at first
���i thought you were mean before we became friends”
you run late all the time because you change your outfit because of last-minute outfit or hair changes
you ALWAYS have at least one hairbrush
either pink or black is your favorite color and you can’t decide between them
rosé wine is your favorite alcoholic drink and cherry or vanilla coke is your favorite soda
you’re a really good listener and you’re the person your friends go to for advice or validation
people have made fun of you for reading novels that mix romance and fantasy, but you know they just don’t understand
you’re really soft, sweet, and affectionate, but, with good reason, you will not hesitate to Fuck Shit Up
(if you’re a girl) engaging girl on girl pettiness is NOT the move
hating it when people call other people ugly just because they don’t like them (on that note, ugly isn’t a thing because eurocentric beauty standards are invalid)
you’ve gone through so many different fashion phases that they all just blur together and there’s no telling how you’re going to dress the next day
you loved pretending to be a mermaid in the water when you were younger (say what you will about poseidon, but that’s an aphrodite thing idc)
sometimes you say really sarcastic or petty things without thinking but you almost always feel bad after (but sometimes they just needed to be said)
you think thrift stores are always more fun
you know that actually you’re not overdressed, everyone else is just underdressed
you’ve always thought valentine’s day is NOT just about romance, it’s also about friends, self-love, and embracing your glamorous feminine side
you know all the good tips and tricks for skincare, face and full body lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, makeup, color palettes, non-toxic metals for jewelry, etc
you hate it when people underestimate you because of your more “materialistic” interests, “it’s your loss that you think i can’t wear sparkly pink lipgloss, and also carry our biotech lab group on my back for the quarter”
you love switching up your accessories, hair dye and hair cuts/styles, makeup, fashion)
you’re either fluent in a romance language, took one in highschool or college, are taking one now in highschool or college, or have always wanted to learn one (it’s never too late!)
disco music hits different for you
you love writing poetry and long ramblings (waxing poetic)
you’ve always had a knack for reading emotions and body language and deciding how to respond to them for the best outcome, as well as the best way to comfort people depending on what they’re dealing with
you’re trying to drill it into your head that people who don’t appreciate your flair for the dramatics are people you don’t need in your life
you know love and beauty are underrated as values and that needs to change

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
