Howdy my name’s Lily. My header is a photo of a Holmes and Watson themed collage I did. My icon is a painting I did of Joan Watson. My art tag on here is #my art and my art sideblog is @bonesart
People with similar interests hiiiiiiiii come talk to me (idrc if we’re mutuals or not)
Rn I’m in a big Sholmes phase (ACD/granada mostly but Elementary is also a longtime fav) and I’m writing my own audiodrama adaptation that is on a short hiatus but will resume posting on ao3 in late May.
I use she/her and he/him pronouns. I’m a white, aspec and genderqueer lesbian. I am also chronically ill and neurodivergent.
I’m 25, but I’m fine interacting with interacting with minors in a limited capacity. If you’re 15 or under I would prefer you not follow me but I’m not the boss of you. If you are uncomfortable interacting with someone my age, feel free to ask me to unfollow, no worries I won’t take it personally.
This is completely a multi interest blog but Star Trek, Holmes canon and adaptations, Chen Qing Ling/The Untamed, and D&D (+actual plays, mostly d20) are the most consistent
I talk a lot about my politics, which are rooted in transfeminism, anti-racism, indigenous sovereignty, abolitionism, and disability justice. I am always happy to answer questions or direct people towards resources if you’re interested in learning more about any of these topics. I am particularly passionate about the last one, as I am disabled myself and also work in intellectual/developmental disability social services.
If you’re one or more of the following I’m gonna block you:
a TERF
a SWERF
a nazi/white supremacist
weird about people using the word queer, a transmed, or otherwise an exclusionist
a pedophile/map whatever the fuck you call yourself
anti-BLM/pro cop
a Zionist or anti Land Back
My original posts all have image descriptions but I’m not great remembering to look for them in the notes of reblogs. I try and tag posts without them as #undescribed
they should invent a job for autistic people where you get paid for thinking about special interest. At the end of the day your boss comes in hands you a form that asks "did you think about special interest today" & you answer "yeah " & then they give you a million dollar. every day forever.
trans women have the site's moderation weaponized against us for years -> staff happy to be complicit -> the media picks up one (1) event that's too blindingly obvious to ignore -> they apologize for not making an excuse earlier, pretend that trying to stay quiet is about the Integrity of The Platform
they clearly think we're idiots, it's just so painfully obvious.
sincerely cracking the fuck up watching tumblr HQ accidentally(???) unbanning pjackk, seeing how we immediately started talking about transmisogynistic moderation bias, and banning pjackk again.
if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal
i mean this so sincerely if you are a man in 2026 you should expect to be on thin fucking ice with the women in your life and if this confuses or enrages you then you are part of the reason why
if you aren't even aware that we are right now all of us living in an ongoing worldwide antifeminist backlash, that is not a oh-no-cute-oopsie kind of ignorance. that fully goes past "complicit" and enters "actively part of the problem" territory. it makes me contemptuous of you. it makes me not want to know you at all. i doubt i'm alone in that.
Sometimes I get really hung up on the thought of if I didn’t experience alexithymia and low affective empathy would I still identify as asexual? and like the answer doesn’t matter because it’s about a hypothetical world that does not exist because I do have alexithymia and low affective empathy and neither of those things are ever changing. and also even if the answer was yes my asexuality is a direct result of my autism, implications of that answer don’t really mean much because sexuality cannot be cordoned off from the rest of your internal experience of self including intellectual/developmental disability. so I know I should just stop dwelling on it but unfortunately in addition to having can’t directly experience most of my own emotions disorder I have chase your own tail thinking disorder so being logically able to dismiss this as a cause of concern does not stop the rumination #myrumination
sherlock getting That Look in his face whenever joan does some freak shit makes me kick my feet and giggle. joan picks a pocket and he's literally swooning. joan does an illegal autopsy? her biggest cheerleader. joan knows information about mafia (that she collected when she was a teen btw. freak /aff) that he doesn't? he's genuinely twirling his hair. whenever joan does something super smart and surprises him he looks this🤏 close to being yelling HELL YEAHHHHH THAT'S MY PARTNER!!!!! and i think that's beautiful. everyday sherlock looks at joan and goes "ok she's way too cool. i need to lock the fuck in to be a worthy best friend for her." and that makes me so so happy. and NONE of it is even remotely romantic. GO MY QPR!!
If you’ll excuse a bit of self-indulgent lyrical analysis, I just love her use of relief. The idea that when faced with a world of prejudice that makes one either hide themselves or open themselves up to violence, the main thing that queer people as an oppressed class are seeking is only relief— the ability to finally breathe, to relax, to stop enduring constant pain. And it paints such a beautiful picture of gay bars and nightlife as a source of that. They are positioned as oases, which in the time the song was written (1977) they definitely were— lone spots of safety, of community in a desert world of systemic violence
