“It’s not my fault you don’t like girls!”: How one line sparked a pointless debate
Oh, this one line. It really should have cleared everything up. Those who picked up on hints at Will being written as gay saw it as a reassurance. Others saw it as a sign that Will is developmentally behind his friends and just isn’t ready for romance yet. The biggest flaw in this feud is in seeing these two as mutually exclusive options. There is no reason that Will can’t be both gay and not ready for dating.
What comes next? Well, with our base funding secured, this means we can keep on campaigning for our stretch goals! The more stretch goals are unlocked, the more we can offer with our zine, and the better it becomes!
To recap our stretch goals:
[$25,000] -- An exclusively-designed linoleum carved bookplate from diogenesprintco will be included in every physical anthology order!
[$28,000] -- A pair of adorable stickers designed by Basil will be included in every physical anthology order (and not just the ones with merchandise added)!
[$30,000] -- The cover of the anthology will be adorned with a spot gloss finish for a shiny, premium look.
[$35,000] -- The cover of the anthology will have gold foiling to add a further gilded charm!
[$40,000] -- The anthology will be printed in hardcover!
Thank you sincerely to everyone who has backed and shared our Kickstarter! It means the world to us to be able to turn the zine into reality, and we hope to make it the best it can be!
i'm concidering (key word: concidering) writing a Thing about Holmes being autistic. i've collected some passages from canon, but if anyone can send me their favourite autistic-Holmes moments from canon that would be VERY helpful
i bring heartbreak to you, may you enjoy it (details and some transcribed text under the cut)
it all started with this
it is also like my graduation gift to you, this took so long because of my graduation and it is finally over (succesfully), so i can draw old men yaoi (also it took so long because my whole surroundings decided that the essay "room of one's own" by viginia woolf isn't a significant piece of literature)
I'm still polishing my designs for them, mainly for Watson. For some reason i can't figure out a way to draw him in more simplified style. (Although I like how i drew him on the couch). Just so you know, Mycroft knew everything (not sure if that's canon) and I headcanon Mary Morstan's and Watson's wedding as lavender, Mary as a lesbian.
by no means do i want to steal or copy @/contact-guy 's style, idea or anything, i just like drawing these two and thought this would be a nice visual
The condolences are people from my favourite cases (that happened before The Final Problem according to @/contact-guy cause her order makes the most sense) and there is one imposter among them.
The quote on the grave is "No longer mourn for me when I am dead" from Shakespeare's sonnet 71. For me it reads as a nice yearning and the "And mock you with me after I am gone" at the end of the poem comes to me as nice metaphor for victorian society, its prejudices and taboos. Sonnet 87 was a strong contender, but not so much funeral like. I really really tried to pick some homoerotic victorian poem, but for the love of me i couldn't find anything published before holmes' death that could be cited on a grave. I wanted to include a verse from the poem "An Arundel tomb" ("What will survive of us is love", but not this one… you know, that wouldn't be put on a grave for a man by a man in victorian era), but that would be anachronistic and I decided against it. "Bright star" by John Keats was also considered (bright as intelligent and magnifficent, haha get it? that's a stupid joke), but nothing to put on a grave. Thought of Rimbaud or Verlaine (famously gay lovers and poets), but the vibe was off.
Text of the letter Mrs Hudson wrote as a condolence (look, this is only an excrept and nothing to be taken too seriously, i whipped it out in a minute): The rooms now belong to Mycroft, but you are welcome at any moment, just like he would have wanted. Mrs Hudson
Text of the Irregulars: We liked him. Irregulars (i wrote this with the pencil in my fist like an uneducated homeless victorian child to achieve the effect)
