in light of my total lack of creative output these past few months it seems borderline ridiculous to promote this, but if you have the ability to help me buy groceries this month through my ko-fi that would be pretty cool of you ♡ every little helps!

(& if you live in the UK and leave a mail address, I will try my best to send you a tiny book in the new year)

#but also I know literally everyone else in the world is having this problem rn so this pinned post comes without any obligations ♡#tldr my work is closing for christmas & if I don't work I don't get any money #this plus moving in december has just irrevocably fucked me over I fear #very genuinely going to have to start eating 2/3 meals at the cafe welp #w.txt

Mycroft Holmes or the embodiement of the Eldest Daughter Syndrome — Young Sherlock (2026)

#ahem. I rest my case #young sherlock

I know this will probably be a hot take but I think this might be my favorite iteration of Mycroft. He's clearly frustrated with Sherlock's shenanigans but I love that you can see his genuine affection for his brother coming through even when he's trying to keep him in line. You can also tell how much his actions are driven by the fear of losing him the way they lost Beatrice. He can't save his little sister so he will do everything, even bend the rules a bit, to save his little brother. And he's not just doing it because he's scared himself, he also wants to spare their mother the pain of potentially losing another child. This "softer" version of him is just an interesting take on the character imo

#also obsessed w how mycroft is clearly no one's favourite child. and he knows it #imho that is the central facet of the entire dynamic and no I will not be taking criticism <3 #logged back in just to talk about this show. feeling insane #young sherlock #sherlock holmes

Travelling Companions by Augustus Leopold Egg (1862)

The book I’ve been reading rests on my knee. You sleep. It’s beautiful out there— fields, little lakes and winter trees in February sunlight, every car park a shining mosaic. Long radiant minutes, your hand in my hand, still warm, still warm.
