See, Erin should do this for sure, but meanwhile if I were a zillionaire I’d be funding a ton of new sci-fi/fantasy video games! The one franchise I would buy the IP for is Dragon Age, and they would MAKE THE LAST GOTDANG DRAGON AGE GAME. Also a DA2 remaster.

WHILE I’M ON MY HOLMES BULLSHIT. modern Holmes should absolutely despise audio calls. he will fly across an ocean to deal with someone in person before he will voluntarily do an audio-only call. video calls he will grudgingly accede to being maybe less annoying than flying. MAYBE.

I will, for the record, absolutely entertain either diagnosis when discussing ACD’s Sherlock, but there IS a strong argument to make for a certain and specific presentation of ADHD rather than bipolar. I just think this would be the more *interesting* interpretation to go w/ for a modern adaptation!

niqaeli torres, child of disaster @niq.aeli.net · 27/09/2026

yes I know this is less likely to be a problem in a modern AU for several reasons; this is why I hold that in a modern AU, Sherlock should be DELIGHTED John is dating Ms. Morstan as that gives him more opportunity to katamari her into his Shenanigans.

some day. some day someone will write a sherlock holmes adaptation that has sherlock mad at john for courting mary morstan for the canonical original reason doyle gave us. which is: she is very smart and sherlock has a crush on her brain and he’s upset that marriage will make her less useful to him.

Every interview I have ever done as a massage therapist has been an absolute minimum of 45 minutes long and usually more like 75 minutes long, with anywhere between 30-60 minutes of physical labor on my part. But sure, Jan. It’s unprofessional to bring a drink with me.

both, though not disappointed with *me*; she had finally figured out what she wanted to do when she grew up and I gave up on that dream, but I gave up on it because of disability shit she was already dealing with, so. she'd be impressed I've done as well as I have considering all the disability.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Carol St. Clair Johnson
born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

this is very much true. the best definition I’ve ever seen for sex in biology is “phenotype and physiology as regulated by the endocrine system”. all definitions are still a societal construct, but under that definition there is a serious argument there are 7 or 8 billion human “biological sexes”.
