30s, dragged back here whenever I get a new fixation. Too sentimental to change the username I came up with at 16.

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

k but if u haven’t seen the guy ritchie sherlock films u don’t get it but they fully wrote holmes as in love w watson. like undeniably in love. In the first ten mins holmes refuses to take a Single case for three months bc watson won’t go with him. he locks himself in his room for two straight weeks, drugs the dog, and shoots the wall for attention bc watson is moving out. he says the world outside his room has nothing to offer until watson asks him to go to dinner & immediately agrees. he humiliates mary bc he’s jealous she can marry watson and he can’t. he goes to a fight club to Feel Something bc he knows john is slipping away from him. there’s never any “oh well just bros being bros” the whole tone towards it is just “ofc he’s in love w watson that’s one of his defining character traits”

[assiraphales]

as “action packed blockbuster” as these films are

1. sherlock isn’t portrayed as an emotionless machine or sociopath. actually, one of the big problems he faces is he feels too much (so he self medicates self harms and self destructs). he does weird experiments on the dog and annoys mrs hudson and has funny lil disguises

2. watson is not only a BAMF but genuinely loves working cases w sherlock (the adrenaline the mystery the violence) and genuinely matches sherlock’s freak even if he won’t admit it

3. they are both in love with other, both mad about it, and both refuse to vocalize it. once mary understands that john needs sherlock as much as sherlock needs john, she nudges them in a direction that they can both at least internally realize the depth of their feelings if not to each other. she doesn’t get jealous, just shrugs and starts saying “this is my husband john and the man snorting coke off a corpse is john’s husband sherlock”

I’m also not wearing rose colored glasses about them being in love, this is what jude law said about them

Azune Nayar: Do you want me to hurt the man who hurt your friend? Please let me hurt the man who hurt your friend.

Halandil Fang: What? No, no, let me... think about that.

Azune, a couple of days later: OK, thinking time has expired, and Hal clearly isn't going to ask for anything. I'm gonna get this asshole fired.

I love the idea of Maekar making sure to pack all his kids matching outfits with him.

Not Aerion though he probably refused smh.

[moonward-bound]

[kelssiel]

the ring: gimli son of gloin you can have your deepest desires if you just take me~

gimli: oh?!

Universe, just take Jorah Mormont away and drop Dunk to Daenerys pretty please.

No, but seriously, this passage from got feels like it was written for Dunk. It has that strong, big brother, warm kind of energy.

And have a Silver Mare and Dunk for all that is good in this life
