who's doing it like him
oh i thought that was bad???? crying on the floor after busman's honeymoon
gaudy night has actually broken me
slow burn so slow that there are two books about them in which they don't get together, then in the book they do get together in it doesn't happen until the LAST PAGE and then just for good measure there's one more book about them as a reward for making it this far
kate was crazy in this episode and im LIVING for it
reading this bit and it's just an explanation of how Lord Peter does all the side quests in life lol
watching Granada Holmes im only four episodes in and this is amazing also Holmes and Watson are so married
I really wish there was a way for me to get '???????' to appear above my head in real life
was it casual when I gave you a necklace that belonged to my family and literally means undying devotion
never forget that one time Sherlock Holmes (while Watson was trying to go to bed) took all the cushions and pillows from the room, put them on the floor, sat on them in his dressing gown, and stayed up all night smoking his pipe. the next morning he woke poor Watson up at 4am, called himself one of the biggest fools in Europe and said he deserved to be 'kicked from here to Charing Cross', then said that he'd solved the mystery and the answer was in the bathroom. he had solved the mystery.
the best bit of a Sherlock Holmes story is not, in fact, the case, but the bit at the beginning where we just get a little glimpse of day to day life in Baker Street, and something funny usually happens
At last my life is fulfilled I've been waiting for this book to come for soooo long
im watching Pride and Prejudice 1995 and even though I KNOW the ending i am still screaming at the TV i have 20mins left of the last episode and im so irrationally scared that Lizzy and Darcy wont get together i am STRESSED
please can we all have a moment of appreciation for the most cute wonderful creature that is Monsieur Bob!!!! And Snubby, the dog who played him in the Dumb Witness episode of Poirot.
Reading Curtain permanently wounded my soul because my baby Hastings who deserves everything in the world was left alone without his wife and his best friend/husband and all his children left him and he was just so sad for that whole book and I couldn't bear it
So I like to think (even though it doesn't fit the timeline) that he retired somewhere with Bob. The dog from Dumb Witness. Because he loved that dog and he deserves a good companion. Also I adore Bob.
Thank you for blessing the world with this it made me smile so much
Arthur Hastings is your man for any rough stuff that arises!

Dying because I was talking to my dad about the Darkling and he thought I said the duckling
So I had a dream that Kaz and Inej were living in a house and then the Darkling turned up to kill them so they had to escape and they did of course and they ran away down a mountain and at the bottom of the mountain that kissed. Yes they kissed. My dreams are crazy actually
Still waiting for a man who will feed me potatoes and carry me up a volcano and tenderly kiss my forehead when I've just woken up
Me? Oh, no I'm completely fine. Definitely not spending every waking moment thinking about how Faramir gave Éowyn his mother's cloak and kissed her on the city walls and taught her that she could come out of the dark and find happiness again. Or that Éowyn showed Faramir that he was truly worth something very valuable when his father had always acted as though he were worthless and the person who loved him unconditionally, his brother, was dead. Nope. Not thinking about that. At all.
'“How about I push you in the canal and we see if you know how to swim?” Wylan said with a very passable imitation of Kaz’s glare.'
This is so funny to me. Like imagine if behind Kaz's back the crows have a death glare competition. Just for fun. Jesper cannot manage it in the slightest, Nina is just laughing, Matthias looks slightly ill when he tries and not particularly threatening, Inej is pretty good but Wylan? That boy knocks it out of the park! He's got the Kaz face almost perfect! So they're all staring at him terrified when Wylan himself suddenly looks petrified and they follow him gaze to see none other than Kaz himself, trying to glare at them but he can't hide his smile.
The more I think about it the more convinced I become that I am in fact a hobbit and if I'm not one already I will make it my life's mission to become one. Those people have the best lives. They live in their beautiful land in their cute cosy houses and eat seven meals a day and party all the time and have cute curly hair and don't have to wear shoe. I need it.
