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.
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.
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.
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
for some reason 'wait for it' from Hamilton gives me such Kaz Brekker vibes. both the bits describing Burr and Hamilton. Like:
Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And:
I am the one thing in life I can control
I am inimitable, I am an original
I'm not falling behind or running late
I'm not standing still I am lying in wait
And:
He has something to prove
He has nothing to lose
...pace is relentless he wastes no time
Changes the game
He plays and he raises the stakes
These are just Kaz in a nutshell to me.

It will never stop being funny to me that after days and days of hard travel and fighting, most of the Fellowship are covered in mud and blood and dirt and their hair is an absolute mess.
And then there's Legolas. Who somehow is looking as perfect as he always has. And he has the nerve to tell Aragorn he looks terrible after the man fought a load of wargs, fell of a cliff, nearly drowned and then rode for a few days? I think he has every right to look terrible Legolas with your fancy hair.
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
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
"he called me an investment!"
"he called me an asset!"
