—–

I know it doesn’t look like a lot condensed like this, but there are at LEAST 50 lists per page, so… huh, wow I didn’t even think of how many I have done over the years, LOL. Hopefully I’ve re-arranged some lists to more logical places, but yeah, if you don’t find a list where you think it should be, look under either “characters” or “miscellaneous”.

Sorry again for the delay in fixing this… not even sure if it’s used all that much, but I hope it’s helpful anyway.

And a reminder, if there’s a list you want to see, I also have a HUGE list of lists I currently have saved in my offline folder, and I haven’t been asked for many of them since I posted it, so if you want a guaranteed list within a month or two, choose from that list above :) And as always, don’t hesitate to ask for a list and I’ll see what I can do.

One day I’ll finally post up the community recs posts and masterlists… it’s just that this one is such a HUGE thing to manage that the idea overwhelms me.

Kudos and true amazement at the genius who curates the whole of the fandom. We are in your debt forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Princess Bride fanart? ✨As you wish✨

I need to know if this movie played an integral part in your childhoods like it did mine ngxngxg

This was one of those films that played on literal repeat for me and my family friends as a kid — though my parents always skipped the R.O.U.S scene bc they thought it was too scary 💀 I turned out to be a huge weenie, so maybe they were right lmao

It’s been on my mind a lot recently, since I finished reading As You Wish by Cary Elwes, the guy who played Wesley! Highly recommend it if you are interested in hearing about the making-of this iconic movie 👀👌✨

please excuse the poor image quality, i do not have a scanner on me this semester, my phone is the only tool i have.

this comic has sort of spawned from all sorts of conversations i’ve had with people and … have overheard from people. just a few days ago, i overheard a group of chinese students discussing marriage and childrearing. ‘it’s just performing your duty to your parents, isn’t it?’ one of the girls remarked.

i felt like that statement was so resonant with a lot of pureblood customs in the hp universe. for all that’s been said about the lgbtq+ community in the wizarding community, i do not buy that they are ‘more accepting’ of lgbtq+ folk. given pureblood attitudes towards procreation and continuing the bloodline, i think there would be a lot of hate directed towards anything that didn’t lead towards the production of heirs.

so i think that in exploring lgbtq+ identity in the wizarding world, it’s important to keep in mind that not everything is rosy and wonderful, and that there are very real fears and feelings of negativity present that need to be addressed within the context of wizarding culture.

Christmas Fics!

5687 (Approximately) by prettysailorsoldier

When John's leave request for Christmas is denied, Sherlock is nothing short of devastated, not that he's letting it show. The holiday season now something he's just waiting to end, Sherlock doesn't think anything can possibly make it worse. That is, until he realizes no one in his life believes his army "boyfriend" is even real, but, luckily, everyone is in for a surprise.

All I Want For Christmas by Mssmithlove

Taking Sherlock's platonic university flatmate home with him for Christmas can be a tricky business. Especially when he wishes their relationship wasn't platonic at all.

John Watson's Twelve Days of Christmas by earlgreytea68

It's the holiday season. John Watson needs money. Sherlock Holmes needs something else.

Need vs. Want by Goddess_of_the_Night

Sherlock needs John to pretend to be his boyfriend for Christmas. John has always preferred to be wanted rather than needed, but there's some disagreement between them on the actual difference.

Dropping the Act by jadztone

Sherlock and John are quite happy living together with Rosie in Baker St. They might be even happier if they didn’t act towards each other like their love is only platonic. Mycroft brings troubling news in the form of Mary’s parents wanting to know just what their grandchild’s home life is like. The boys decide to spend Christmas pretending like they are in love in order to seem more like a "normal" family. It's easy enough to pretend when all you're doing is dropping the act.

Tomorrow by Berty

The night before they travel to Dorset to spend Christmas with Sherlock's parents and John's wife, 221 Baker Street is peaceful with the smell of baking, flickering candles and presents under the tree. But Father Christmas can't be relied upon to bring the boys their heart's desires. Just as well Mrs Hudson - who is NOT a fairy godmother OR their housekeeper, thank you very much - is so good at her job.

Untitled Christmas Goose Game by meansgirl (Mystrade)

Greg should have known better than to say the phrase ‘I’ll owe you one,’ to Sherlock Holmes. This was his own fault, really. After four years, he really ought to have learned by now. But Greg had been tired and desperate and Sherlock had been acting like a stroppy child. The words had slipped out and then Greg had immediately forgotten them.

In which Greg agrees to pose as Sherlock's boyfriend at Christmas, finally meets the invisible Mycroft Holmes, catches feelings, and has a very happy holiday indeed.

I wish you a very happy Christmas!

CONGRATULATIONS HEARTSTOPPER FOR FIVE EMMY WINS!

that was just one of my favorite days ever

NICK AND CHARLIE | HEARTSTOPPER 1.02

unabletocomply

narliesbuddie

i will never move on from this hug. the way that nick truly is, so obviously, recharging here, while also try to pour all of his love for charlie into this hug, and also give him reassurance after overhearing the conversation in the bathroom. it just makes me want to cry

his little scrunched up face bc he’s snuggled so deeply into charlie’s shoulder, and the way he’s holding onto him so tightly, like if he loosens his grip charlie will disappear
