Sherlock after faking his death for 3 goddamn years is like:

Sherlock: My dear Watson, so glad to see you, my boy. Of course you're going to live with me in Baker' Street again. And sell that clinic of yours, I even have a buyer in my family interested due to my sheer pressure. Ah, you don't have to be a doctor, you know you'd rather be my biographer, but of course before writing one of our cases you'll ask for my permission. Oh and leave your checks in my locker if you need it just ask me for the key. Oh, it's 1895, bad time to be in London, let's spend a few days staying in that university town of ours far from here. Oh, pack your bags Watson, we're going to Norway too!! Now (...).

Watson: Okay, Holmes. Everything you want.

Book - The Return Of Sherlock Holmes

#sherlock holmes #arthur conan doyle #acd canon #sherlock x john #johnlock #only I found him too controlling in The Return of Sherlock Holmes??? #And Watson does whatever he asks without question #Sherlock my beloved let Watson breathe #seriously Sherlock #Watson is not your pet #even if you have the best of intentions #he needs to be free #stop I'm remembering the Shawn Mendes song #mercy #back to the topic If you Holmes keep suffocating him like this Watson will get a new bride with no name it's so boring #What did I say! Don't say I didn't warn you! #sherlock incorrect quotes

monolingual people really don't know how to write multilingual people do they

#“*pet name in a foreign language* *phrase in english*” NOBODY WOULD NATURALLY SAY THAT #like yeah it's almost a tradition now but it makes me wanna kill and maim and commit felonies #(and yes it is the easiest way to show that the character is bilingual because the writer doesn't need to learn the foreign language— #—but imo it would be more believable just not to use the language at all. or to write something like “x mumbled something in *language*”) #i wanted to write a longer explanation not in the tags but decided not to so if someone wants to read my musings on the topic tell me— #—and i will write something longer

i love the bias + the fan pairings so much because on the surface its very "oh, well, the bias just has to fall for the fan and then its happily ever after" but no! its way more fun than that!

the fan isnt in love with the bias. in fact, the fan doesnt view this world as reality, nor do they even view their bias as a human. the fun part of this pairing is the fan having to recognize the world they live in as their new reality and the people around them as people! the bias falling for the fan is just part one, the fan falling for the bias as an Actual Human Being is just as important an element

#wwaffles bein' an idiot #wwaffles reads stuff #keeps it gender neutral even though i've only seen f!fan/m!bias #miss not-so-sidekick did this pretty well although she did a 'oh this is reality' speedrun #if this one goes well i'd put it up on the same shelf its pretty good so far #we're like 30+ chapters in and she's still referring to him as her favorite character. fantastic #there was another one i was reading that i can't recall the name of (long title i think) that i havent read the end of yet #but it had a similar premise just not done as well #or that is to say. it seemed to skip the 'this is reality now' realization #but the problem with that is HES searching for someone who loves him. and SHE loves him as a fictional character #so hopefully they do address that at some point because that could only go well #anyway back to the actual topic #its actually very similar because cael wants someone who loves him for him #and she just wants him to be happy and to shove all her affection on him because shes his fan #she doesnt even factor herself into the equation of his happiness because he's not real and she is #she's still lowkey thinking she's gonna go home eventually (maybe?? unclear) #anyway i just love this particular subgenre its so good #also what happened to her depression. i mean having a bias is just like that but she wasnt doing so hot either #i wonder if there'll be a antagonists pet reveal where she's actually miserable #and a big part of 'i'll devote my life to my bias!' is that she literally has nothing else to live for

this is going to be the only thing ill be talking about for the next billion years

#downloaded mobile animal jam JUST for this #and absolutely grinded to get all the sapphires for him. #soo anyways. his name is Sneaky Spiritlight (aka Sneaks) and his pet is a cat named Spiral #i think that like. he got separated from a group of phantoms one say and got stranded in Jamaa #but it was around the night of the phantoms. so everyone was surpisingly chill with him #so he decided to stay in Jamaa and is learning more about all of the other animals that live there!! #btw. can you guys tell i was a little obsessed with animal jam as a child #because i was. ohh boy i was #ANYWAYS. #switching topic #once i have like. the money and space. i might genuinely commission someone to make a costume of this guy because im so attached #he's my blorbo!! #okay that's enough for tonight #WAIT ONE LAST THING. the hat isn't part of his usual outfit. it's because it's jamaalidays :) #(and also I don't have any other good hats for him but that's besides the point)

[uptonil]

not that i listen to/watch that shit but anyone who does podcasts or video essays about music or bands should be sent to the gallows. besides the fact that they're putting out *content* to please different people with different tastes, which naturally means they have no specific knowledge... they're literally always wrong? yesterday i randomly found myself hearing the host of a music podcast singing the praises of gary numan. and not even gary numan in the 80s, but like, the current shit he puts out and his live shows. who in their right mind would want to see that? also, stuff like trash theory on yt. i feel like i'm perennially in front of my computer, seeing their dumb thumbnails and shaking my head.

#another pet peeve of mine is when they claim they've read some biography about their topic and now they know everything #do you know biographies are usually terribly biased. like. that's the whole point about them usually. #you'd need to read like... 3 of them and then compare notes with hardcore fans #i was having these thoughts cause i'm terrified by the idea of someone putting together a video/podcast in that style about japan #based on THAT biography that shall not be named

Wai okay so like, one thing I wanted to add in that drawing but ran out of phone battery power and was racing against it, was the names of the cats. And also lil info on that big chubby black cat.

The big chubby black cat was Mel's first cat named Ace, and he was also the only cat Mel was supposed to have. But then Mel saw a couple of stray kittens, took them in. Heard bout senior cats not getting adopted in the shelter, also took them in. Saw more stray cats, took those in too. Next thing he knows he suddenly has 24 cats and still won't stop taking in strays but at least he gives those away to other loving homes now instead of keeping them.

He has their names themed. 12 cats named after zodiac signs, the other 4 black cats are named after playing cards to be themed with Ace's name (Spade, Diamond, Heart, Club). 2 cats named Cupcake and Muffin, 4 cats named after directions (North, East, West, South). And 1 cat named Palace. (He found this one nearby Alec and Ray's place and decided to name her following the theme of Alec and Ray's pet naming).

Cuz Alec and Ray has 6 cats and 1 dog (4 cats belong to Ray, the 2 cats and 1 dog belong to Alec. Have I told yall they live together? Well now I have. They also have a big aquarium with clownfishes and blue tangs in it. Finding Nemo yes) Also like wait, Alec technically has 2 dogs but 1 dog (her name is Diana) is living with his parents while the other one lives with them.

Ray's cats are named Princess, Prince, King, and Queen (my guy was also only meant to have 1 cat which was Princess oh but looky here, he ended up with 3 more). He roped Alec into following the theme with his own pets so Alec's cats got named Duchess and Duke with the dog being named Knight. Mel decided to follow that with his one cat and named her Palace. (Also like Alec wasn't even supposed to have any more pets other than Diana but Ray got him to get the 2 cats so Alec was like, yk what? i'll get a dog too why not).

#aria rants #am i coherent enough? can you follow my rambling that i was meant to keep short but ended up somewhat long? #i cant keep to one topic i ended up jumping to another but at least its still in line with pets' names right? #i keep adding alec and ray's names and stuff bout em and im sorry it's a curse with these 5 #theyre all connected in a way that theyre friends and buddies and i have to talk bout em all as much as possible #and as lil as possible too otherwise id ennd up derailing from my main point #and also all their pets are from the shelter #ariaoc #ariaoc: mel

I KNOW you guys are here for the Minecraft stuff but I am first and foremost a Warriors fan so I need to say this

Because even now, I’ll sometimes see posts about this- Needletail’s name.

Because a lot of people are like “Oh why’s her name Needletail, cats don’t know what needles are” and I die inside a little more.

Guys. Guys. Pine Needles.

She’s from ShadowClan, she lives in a pine forest, why is this a surprise.

#warriors #Warrior cats #needletail #shadowclan #a vision of shadows #Also on the topic of Warrior Cats; Starkit’s Prophecy #I see a lot of people renaming Jazzsong or giving her lore of being a former rogue or kitty pet #Jazz is also an emotion #Realistically she’s named after the genre #But in universe she could absolutely be named after the emotion

I just want to use charm person because it will 100% get us out of a Situation. The spell literally says friendly acquaintance. However, if you want me to seduce the character you literally named "Lucifer" understand that I am no coward.

#wacky watermelons #dnd #romance is like. an additional choice to me. not a given. so the treating of bards as romance machines is so weird #eddie literally has proficiency in persuasion and still has a -1 thats how bad his charisma is #not to mention that I know that half my group forgets eddie's even there #not that they forget me. they forget jackie's a puppet controlled by eddie #they're like penn and teller but penn's a puppet #i am the dm's pet (like teacher's pet!!!) though. he loves me for my silly puppet and expert names (Edmund Lime/Jacqueline Seam) #sorry. so far off topic #the whole campaign is like... tarot and christianity themed #which just for everyone keeping track. is really fucking weird to do as a atheist #for the main reason being that im not sure my group understands that I have.. no idea.. what some of these things are #lije the rock experts overestimating people's familiarity with rock structures. #thats what it feels lije just going “uh huh. uh huh.” as they talk about. angels or whatever #anyway! last off topic. #all this is to say. im wasn't planning on romance. however i will absolutely romance the big bad (?) if my dm #even minutely gives me a chance. everything i have will be put towards this with wanton disregard for any characterization #im going to. quote. “rizz”. unquote. mr morning star if its the last god damned (ha?) thing i do

[bitchfitch]

actually I've decided all those old ideas for them suck. Objectively the funniest possible answer to "who the fuck Are Conrí and Gwyn" is:

Gwyn is a proper nobody, but he's mostly happy living with his pet pixie frog, Jeremiah, and his roommate/best friend Human Jeremiah. who is a sorta eccentric older fellow. Tends to be very air headed and spends most of his time keeping to himself and quietly reading the old books he keeps up in their attic. He also does basically all the chores when Gwyn is at work so the dude could be a serial killer and Gwyn would still consider him the best roommate ever.

It's a great life for Gwyn. He can relax and persue his passions in his free time in a quiet and lovely home. He has company when he wants it and peace when he doesn't. it's Perfect.

Until Gwyn gets forcibly Isekai-ed.

He wakes in (bulk standard magic land... Bustmala) on an alter surrounded by strangers. They tell him he's the reincarnation of some ancient sorcerer and it'll be his job to stop some horrid evil. Gwyn is not down for this. He doesn't know how time moves in relation to the two worlds and Human Jeremiah is out of town so if Gwyn doesn't get home soon his beloved Jeremiah will starve or his water will dry up.

What proceeds is the set up for your standard harem anime. There's the extremely accomplished sorceress who works for the king/queen, Exac'coso, She is being forced to teach this newcomer. She resents his existence and he agrees that she should, they start hatching their plan in secret almost as soon as they are alone in the room together.

The powerful general who immediately starts talking strategy, Powge. her words go just as far over his head as Exac'coso's did. It devastates her to find out the plan her predecessors had been working to put into place for generations is going to fail. They didn't have any other way to possibly contain the BBEG. While she still has hope it'll work out some how, it doesn't take long to get her on board. The sooner Gwyn is gone the sooner the higher-ups will let them all start investigating more options that might actually work. This is the first time she and Exac'coso are getting to work together and she's learning to not be quite as intimidated by such a well respected member of the court.

And finally a maid of no renown, Manoré. She's the glue that holds the team together. The only one of the three of them that has an excuse to go anywhere without a single person paying her any mind. It also helps that she's a pickpocket and clever in a way that compliments Powge's straight forward eyes on the prize mindset and Exac'coso's overthinking and over complicating. Plus it also gets her a chance to reverse pickpocket a few things off the ladies. She likes stealing but also always feels a little bad about it later if the person is nice. She doesn't need to be convinced to join their mission, she was listening in when the other two weren't thinking of her as having been there because she was just the help.

The four of them get everything set up and nearly succeed in their goal without much fuss. Until the overly loyal dog of a guard that is Conrí interupts. He had been the greatest hurdle as he had been assigned to watch over Gwyn at all times in case BBGE tried to get him before he was prepared to win that fight. He had refused to hear any of Gwyn's protests on this matter and insisted he Must be the sorcerer because otherwise, what hope did any of them have?

The spell was already started up. Both Gwyn and Conrí were transported back to Gwyn's world. They land in his backyard and Gwyn just books it to check on Jeremiah. only managing to out run Conrí bc of the narrow halls and low cielings giving the giant fucker a hard time. Jeremiah is completely fine and Gwyn could just about cry with relief. His water is still full so despite weeks having passed in the other world it seems only a few hours at most had passed in this one.

Now Conrí is the one who's the fish out of water. You thought this was a story about a normal dude in a magic world surrounded by hot chicks? Gotcha. It's about a big wolf man stuck in a normal world that's wholely incompatible with him. with a man he's done a great job at making hate him.

Worst of all, Weeks had passed in his home when only hours had here. How long did they have to get back before the final confrontation was had and lost without the prophecized sorcerer there to save everyone? how long until everything he had ever known or loved was gone? He had pups, would they think he abandoned them in the days leading up to their firey deaths? They had already lost their mother, he couldn't make them suffer That too.

Things are awkward those first few days. Conrí is already going stir crazy having to stay inside what is to him a very cramped little house. Driving them both mad with his constant worry and hopeless anger. He's furious with Gwyn even if it's not fair for him to be. If Gwyn had just Paid More Attention. If he had learned more from Exac'coso before running like a coward then Maybe they would have gotten home in time.

They had summoned Gwyn with 3 years of prep time to make sure he was ready for the fight. With how time had moved between their worlds, the math said a year in Bustmala was only a day here.

The fourth day comes. Conrí locks himself in the spare room and refuses to come out.

The fifth day Gwyn barely manages to get him to eat.

The sixth he offers to bring Conrí a book so at least he could enjoy some reading while he wallowed. Conrí doesn't want anything that mentions earth or anything about it. All Gwyn has is non fiction. Human Jeremiah likes fantasy though. So maybe they could raid his library? Gwyn promises Human Jeremiah is cool and if he isn't Gwyn will pay him back for the book if he's not ok letting Conrí read it. Conrí reluctantly agrees.

They go up to Jeremiah's attic room and Conrí grabs a book at random from the shelves. They're all the sort that are bound in leather to look fancy and old despite being fairly new so he has to flick through a few pages to actually get a feeling for the type of book it is. Gwyn watches his brow furrow and realizes he might not be able to read english. but then Conrí is flicking to the table of contents and then to a specific story.

Conrí throws the book through the window and collapses onto the bed with his head in his hands. He already regrets having thrown that book. It was the same collection of short stories his kids had on their bedside table. He'd read it to them hundreds of times.

"Funny how the world can find a way to beat you when you're already dead. Right house, wrong man."

He doesn't respond when Gwyn asks for clarification but Gwyn doesn't really need it. It was more the shock of the realization that had wanted the confirmation than any cognizant part of his mind. Gwyn wishes he hadn't turned down Human Jeremiah's offers to let him read one of his books. Maybe he would have realized the truth when they still had time to act on it then.

He pulls out a few books, opens and sets them aside until he has the one he wants. A magic grimoire that had a spell and set of sigil work he recognized from Exac'coso sending him home. He was barely at the point of learning to read the most basic of basics from her and this... This was something she had spent an entire day preparing for and studying and even then made sure he knew there was a nonzero chance she fucked it up and sent him way back in time or dropped him from a few stories up.

"I... I can try to learn more."

"What's the point in that? To let me see my home in ruins? To see if I can find their bodies in the rubble? Just put me down and move on."

"Human Jeremiah will be home eventually... He could teach me. Or send you home himself."

"And still there would not be a point."

"We were wrong. about how time passed. There's this, uh, this denotes a time I think? If you remember what the date was we can go back to the same day we left on. I think."

"I will unscrew your head from your neck if you are givinge false hope."

"I don't think I am."

#i looked up 'good names for a frog' and no shit on the spruce pets listacle on this topic Jeremiah is the 5th top frog name #and you know theyre wrong about basically everything but they are right about this. #anyways and then they fall in love. and through gathering the ingredients and stuff for the spell collect some vital mcguffin #or bit of info that will let the Bustmala crew have their victory. #i haven't gotten that far yet #just know that at the end Human Jeremiah is going to move back to Bustmala and everyone wants Gwyn to come with him. #Gwyn is hesitant but since he brought Jeremiah with him when they went back and figured out how to get his pump and heater #to work without electricity via magic. hes very willing after very little convincing. He swears its bc hed miss the trio of Conrí's pups #too much not to go home to live with them and their father. #Anyways i have a new suicidally depressed dilf dog boy #anyways anyways. Isekais never give the protagonist a good enough reason to go home but i think 'my beloved pet will suffer a slow death' #is a Pretty good reason to have no interest in staying in the super magic world.

I looooove thinking about how soft Ian and Mickey are going to get. Sure they’ve always been deep down; and maybe they’ll never be that over the top couple who has Cupid arrows flying out from them but i love to think of them just becoming normal, settled. Not in a boring way, just a natural calming way. Like I think Mickey will just be a guy who loves kisses Ians cheeks all the time. I see Ian growing to use “babe” Both of them holding hands walking in the store. Casual stuff like this.

oh my god. oh my god yeah 😭 settled! that's a lovely way to put it. not boring, like you said but - at ease, safe, fulfilled! they can exist comfortably together and show each other affection like they've always wanted to 😭 i kinda love the idea of them trying out different pet names or little displays of affection.... holding hands, a lil cheek pinch (face and/or ass), head scritches, neck kisses, nose boops, belly tickles.... oh god belly tickles 🥺 babe, honey, freckle face, sugar lips, etc etc etc like i just LOVE the idea of them having the freedom to play around with their affection! touches and nicknames that make them giggle or sigh or melt with love, ones that make them feel so comforted, ones that get them immediately horny sdkjfh like YES anon i love this too!

#anon i am hugging you right now #i love this topic so much like gaaaHHH #i am such a sucker for honey as a pet name #when i think of one of them using it i fully combust #although i also think i suggested cookie puss once askdjf i stand by that #mickey would totally say that lmaooo #mel answers

the party has been wandering the sword coast and doing random quests, making friends and killing goblins

and they've been travelling for a few weeks and had some bonding moments, shared some secrets about shar or the orb but they're not really friends, like just good acquaintances or chummy coworkers

but they just cleared out the blighted village and saved wulbren and they end up camping in the apothecary cellar camp

and theres plenty of wine but not much food so they get pleasantly tipsy and lounge around

and bard astarion finds his way from his little room with withers to the balcony area overlooking gale, wyll and the fire, having a good time noodling around on the lute and enjoying his wine from his vantage point above

and the boys are cheering him on and making song requests, being talkative as usual so they manage to convince astarion to play for them

maybe if wyll or gale has a level bard they can also play along and have a jam sesh

and lae'zel and shadowheart eventually wander over (but maybe they're pretending to get things from the travellers chest and didnt even notice the fun) and at least sit nearby, start chatting and having a nice time

and tav is somewhere in the mix having fun (or they're off being silly if it's a durge run)

but this is really like the first time the entire party gets together and has fun socialising (and it's like when its a birthday in the office and you get to chat with people you haven't spoken much to) and the next morning they start to banter on the way to their next quest ♡

im sorry i just love the camp designs, they're so nice and they're all unique (i hate elfsong bc you spend most of act 3 in one spot and it's samey after a while) (and the pets dont wander around and the companions don't move as much) (like by the end i was going to wyrms crossing to long rest bc i just wanted a proper camp)

#in this post i also reveal my great love for office birthdays/baby showers/goodbye parties because they are a fun way to get to know ppl #its like a social lubricant bc you're all in a good mood because you're not working #and you are familiar enough to already know the really basic introduction stuff like name and stuff #and there are easy conversation topics premade for you like 1. work stuff 2. whatevrr the party is for 3. other coworkers #and worst case scenario you say you have urgent work to do and take ur snack back to ur desk early #its such a lifehack #its like when u put all the sims on the dance floor together and their friendship bars go up really quickly #im sorry for autismposting #*sorry for party rocking bass drop* #im sorry i just love the camp designs #they're so nice and they're all unique #(i hate elfsong bc you spend most of act 3 in one spot and it's samey after a while) #(and the pets dont wander around and the companions don't move as much) #(like by the end i was going to wyrms crossing to long rest bc i just wanted a proper camp) #bg3 #astarion #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 astarion #can u tell i took edibles before playing bg3 today lmao
