But when the world needed him most, he pulled the wrong lever...
Why do they even have that lever?
Well done everyone, 10/10 post
Fanfiction is so wonderfully strange because what do you mean I spent two weeks rewriting a single scene โ repeatedly taking myself to the brink of madness over and over and over, desperate to come as close to perfection as possible โ simply for the love of it? For free? What do you mean this is how I choose to pass the time?

I'm just learning how to knit and basic knitting is so funny, sometimes you go to make a fun lattice-looking stitch and you can immediately tell you've messed it up bc you start getting pillars instead.
Like. Could you imagine if that happened in actual architecture, just "Yeah I fucked it again boss, the window's got columns in it. Yeah like the little greek ones. No I don't know how, I did it exactly the same as last time." Absolutely humiliating. Roman Colosseum be upon ye.

I think one of the greatest joys of fandom is being able to look back on a certain media or a ship or a trope or event or something of that nature, and being able to remember like "oh yeah! that was how I became friends with [x]!" "that was when that friend and I watched that show and stayed up until 2 am to do it!" and when those friendships bleed back over to real life too, like "oh I tried that food bc x says they like it!" and "that's x's favorite animal!" and all these sorts of things that happened because we happened to meet just like, in the great vastness of 1) human existence and 2) the ephemerality of fandom existence.
The way that certain things become suffused with that friendship and the like joy that really is. What an uncommon occurrence. What a lovely thing it is. What an honor. What a privilege.

I love learning about the inspiration for Holmes. Itโs also worth noting that Doyle talks about Bell in a very similar manner that Watson describes Holmes (high nosed, acute face, penetrating grey eyes etc.) and has a similar admiration for the doctorโs skills and intellect as his narrator has for his literary counterpart. Holmes is also occasionally described as explaining his methods to watson like a teacher addressing his class, which is most likely referencing his real life model being a professor.
I love that Bell kept an interest in Doyle and his stories, and Iโm wondering if his โimpractical suggestionsโ were what was being mirrored in Holmesโs critique of Watsonโs romanticism:
โDoyle, this is entirely unrealistic!โ

Also left in a little excerpt about Doyle spending his lunch money on books {FUCKING NERD (me too)} because I thought it was cute.
