As we celebrate public domain day and the start of Letters from Watson, I just want to say....
All queer Holmes headcanons are good.
All of them are meaningful to a multitude of people, and everyone finally has free reign to explore them in published works.
And I want to see all of them. They aren't in competition with each other.
I love explorations of what it would be like to be gay in Victorian society and all of the intricate historical connections people make. Both the painful ones and the ones that say fuck it, let's show some joy.
I love when characters are allowed to be bisexual and all of their relationships are treated with respect. I love when Watson gets to love Mary and Holmes, and when this isn't made out to be some competition.
I love aro and/or ace Holmes, and I beg certain corners of the fandom to remember that these explorations are not the same as simply not addressing the subject of Holmes' sexuality. They are so much more, and these interpretations are fundamentally queer. I love explorations of what it means for a queerplatonic partnership to be the most important relationship in someone's life, especially when they don't have the words to explain it.
I love explorations of Sherlock Holmes and gender. Whether it is someone concealing their gender to play a certain role in society or it is an exploration of being trans historically. All possibilities have something different and interesting to say.
Sherlock Holmes and the relationship between Holmes and Watson appeals to so many of us for a reason, and there are so many stories we can tell. There are so many ways authors can now say "I have always seen myself in this. Let me show you why." There is no limit.
I guess what I'm saying is this. Sherlock Holmes is now legally allowed to be kind and compassionate (and treat female characters well).
Here's to fandom doing the same.

An Adventure Time fansong I composed inspired by an excerpt from the 2015 tie-in novel The Enchiridion & Marcy's Super Secret Scrapbook!!! which expanded on Simon and Marcy's story in the show and detailed off-screen moments of their life together through their perspectives.
In the book, Marceline writes this poem after Simon leaves her in Everything Stays, and it was the moment that absolutely shattered me to read years ago and made their farewell in the episode thrice as heartbreaking :'> So when I revisited this book a few nights back, I suddenly thought it would be a neat idea if I gave Marcy's poem it's own melody:
This was super fun and emotional to put together and I really hope you all enjoy this just as much as I did arranging it <33 (also I don't know if any copies of this book are still available anywhere but if you do manage to spot it I HIGHLY encourage you to get it, especially if you're really into the Simon and Marcy lore of the show like I am <33)
SoundCloud Version
Text version of lyrics below:
You're my old friend
I don't want you to go.
Is this really the end?
Please tell me no.
You said your mind
Was getting warped and hazy.
Before I was blind
To all of your crazy.
I still love the old you
I want you to know
There's too much we've been through
Do you have to go?
I hope you find peace
I hope you calm down
Please Simon don't lose yourself
To the crown

A joke post I made as a spin on Resurrection OCT's Round 1 prompt, concerning collecting magical ferns for Blanca and the judges.

I don't want to be y'all's mom, but I've heard plenty of bad stories of people getting panic attacks and other physical responses to use. Stay safe and informed.

I would die for you, Cross the sky for you
Sir Timaeus, Dragon Knight and Protector of Wonderland.
Bonus little details I like.
The cape itself is really just ceremonial - majority of the time he wouldn't be wearing it cause it'd get in the way.
Completely coincidental that his hair band matches with the sword- I honestly just chose purple cause I thought it'd would be a nice contrast to the Greens and Blues. I do however like the idea that either he intentionally chose it or was perhaps given it.
----
Originally it was going to just be a regular sword, idea that maybe it's the one he'd be given after to go in the empty scabbard he's wearing. But couldn't get it to look right from a side perspective.
Think it looks better this way.

Thinking of the twins as kids trying to become best friends with the San Dimas Museum of Natural History's taxidermist. Like, they're constantly asking her questions about her job and what she does, and then very subtly ask if they can help and she just shoots them down.
