I am not your Watson

This blog is basically a wild mess of all my niche interests, current hyperfixations and weird obsessions - mostly all things detectives and mystery.

Hundreds of thousands of people had gathered peacefully in the German capital for the annual Christopher Street Day celebrations, one of Europe's largest LGBTQ ​events, before the apparent attack brought it to an abrupt end.

"There are many injured, among whom multiple people have ​life-threatening injuries," police said on X, adding that an urgent manhunt was underway for ⁠one or more possible perpetrators.

For those wondering about the fox. Grace has a subtle motif with this animal throughout the movie, but especially this shot where they pack this toy fox with his belongings on the Hail Mary. The pose of it looked a little haunting to me, thus prompting this illustration. __________ (Small/large prints are also available on my etsy ❤️)

the thing about fruit flies is that in the abstract, they live peaceful and irreproachable lives nibbling on overripe fruit and its attending microbes, but practically speaking they awaken some sort of primordial rage within me. Get off my bananas you little fucks

After watching PHM for the 3rd time, it really makes me think about Grace. He doesn't have any immediate family or friends, not even a dog, then gets sent into space. But then Rocky comes about, and that is his best friend ever. He's never had a bond like that before, and it's so amazing to have a friend. He risks it all for Rocky, and Rocky does too. In what seems like such a short time, he gains both friendship and something he considers family. I wouldn't want to leave that either

I love how the entire aroace community latched onto Ryland Grace with no hesitation and have used his character as an outlet for frustrations regarding real-world politics surrounding our identities.

Dr. Ryland Grace was arguably the perfect backup candidate for his mission. Stratt got that right. He had no children, no life partner, no family, not even a dog. All he had was his students and that was enough for him, but that made him replaceable.

Right?

Not only were Grace’s wishes completely ignored, his life and his value as a person was undermined. Simply because he had no one but his students to care for his wellbeing, because he wouldn’t have someone at home waiting for him to come back.

Aroace people deal with similar treatment simply because romance and sex are seen as essential to the human experience, completely disregarding any and all other types of connection. One’s inherent value as a person is not lost when they choose to live life without romantic or sexual relationships. One’s value is simply in existing.

Aroace people know this well, which is why so many have become so attached to Ryland as a character. Many of us see his way of life as the end goal for ourselves, so any one of us would have been seen as just as dispensable, by Stratt and by society as a whole.

Aroace people love Dr. Ryland Grace because his life mattered just as much as everyone else’s, and so do ours.
