when watson tells him he has to return to the hotel to console a dying englishwoman, & holmes knows this may be the last time they will see each other, his face softens into the slightest of wistful smiles, like he's seeing all the things he loves about watson, his kindness, bravery, loyalty, trust, and then he just turns to go! like he's already said his own secret little goodbye that watson doesn't know about & now it's time to move on to the next thing

"omg there was only one bed" and if the bed-sharing was familial? if it was platonic?
what about going to a parental figure's room after a nightmare and being comforted late at night?
what about found families cuddling on the couch under lots of blankets?
what about friends showing up at obscene hours of night to crash at their house because it's a safe place for them?
what about siblings sleeping on bunk beds or in separate rooms but end up sharing one bed anyway because they need to know that the other one is safe after a traumatic experience and their other siblings wake up before them and take pictures of them cuddling to tease them later?
what about reluctant found families or reluctant friend groups having to share a bed and as they drift off to sleep, surrounded by these people who they didn't want to get close to but ended up not only caring about, but trusting and relying on, coming to the realization that they would do anything for them???
what about platonic intimacy and being able to rest and rely on your loved ones because you trust them? what about that? huh???

arthur (prince of camelot) still has to study under a tutor bc yknow uther wants him to be very intelligent before becoming king or something bc its super important idk idc anyways merlin is doing chores in his chambers while arthur is squinting at a book and merlin eventually caves and asks him what he’s reading and arthur gruffly explains that its a collection of stories from greece that make absolutely no sense so merlin asks him to read them outloud to him. arthur of course teases him and calls him an idiot and asks how he could possibly help but does as he’s asked and reads the stories to merlin as he does his chores. merlin (being crushed under the weight of destiny and tormented by the prophecies that kilgharrah spews) understands the stories almost immediately and gets all excited and starts rambling about them with arthur. arthur is glad to have someone who understands so he can give something that reflects a hint of understanding to his tutor who accepts it and moves onto the next unit of education.
the thing is, arthur finds more stories in camelot’s library and brings them up to his room to read them aloud to merlin under the guise of completing his studies but really he just wants to watch as merlin’s eyes gleam when he understands whats happening and listen to him ramble on and on about them bc he’s gay. the stories stick with merlin though and he realizes that they’re cautionary tales, that the heroes who were told too much of their future doomed themself to fulfill them - that them fighting the prophecies led to their completion. merlin takes it to heart and gives a big “fuck you” to kilgharrah before forging his own fate and helping morgana with her magic and handing out an olive branch to mordred and now everyone can live happily and peacefully in an albion teeming with magic.

While I'm half awake and online during the work week, just a quick post to say I'm going through some health stuff at the moment (beyond the usual). I won't get into the details on here, but I'm struggling a bit at the moment so please be patient with me -- I promise I'll get around to replying to messages and sharing more content as soon as I'm up to it.
I appreciate everyone taking the time to like and share the posts I've had lined up this month, it means a lot. I can't do much as a fan so knowing that people enjoy seeing some of the things I've collected over the years gives me a real boost when my body gets me down.

Zevlor subconsciously wrapping his tail around Tav's waist while they're doing mundane things or just spending time together. Like he just loves Tav so much that he always wants to be touching part of them.

i feel so lucky to have my special intrest be a group of people who seem to truely appreciate the people that support them. and to belong to a community where i feel genuinely appreciated and have to have made so many wonderful friends.
and to top it off, they are constantly putting out banger after banger. oops all hits!
i dont know if ill ever be able to express how much joy i get everyday from watcher, their content, and the community that surrounds them. plus, they inspire me creatively in my own field.
just needed to get this message out into the universe :)

I just want to share something and hopefully offer some hope.
For a lot of trauma survivors, they feel dirty. They feel like they can’t get clean no matter what. They feel like they can’t wash off what was done to them. I was one of them. The keyword being was.
I don’t feel dirty anymore. It took me a long time but I’ve realized that no matter what someone did to me, it doesn’t make me dirty.
What I’m trying to say is… there’s hope. There is so much hope. It can get better.

my seats for seattle were nosebleeds but the electricity and excitement of the crowd for the closing night of the na leg of satvb was completely unmatched
I got to meet and hug @hollyfhumberstone (and allison who helps coco run @1975archives ) after almost a year of friendship - thank you to tumblr for bringing one of the kindest, gracious, and absolute sweetest people into my life, I can’t imagine my life without coco in it
After a decade of being in this fandom and community, it’s kinda scary to think that after the 2024 tour, we don’t know when the boys will be back, but what matters is that we’ll be waiting for them 🤍
