I just made a decision regarding this upcoming chapter, and it’s gonna be dark. I believe I have said multiple times this one is the Baker Street Boys on a case, and I am gonna be a bit graphic about these bodies. I am sorry about that.
But let me make something clear: This fic is gonna be no worse in graphic-ness as the actual show (though I do plan on actually having a full, not cut-off f bomb in a later chapter!!). If you handled the actual show, you’ll be good. Cheers.
God, how are people not totally and irrevocably in love with their bodies? Scars and nicks and spots and bumps and calluses and hair- we’re such beautiful things. You will look back on your body years from now and have a suitcase packed full of memories, all based off of who you were then, and how your body reflected that.
We keep these things for our whole lives. Now is a better time than ever to start loving what we’ve got. Take the time to appreciate your flesh and bone, what it does for you. We are all beautiful creatures. We are all alive, and is that not the greatest thing one can be?
i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.
If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone FROM YOUR BODY chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?
Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.
Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.
