hello! i post ab whatever i'm currently obsessed with, unless it is bl, drama, or kpop-related, then i post about it here: @yeahhabsolutely!
usually it is just me posting about leverage and elementary because those are my children and i love them very much.
insert obligatory elementary gif here bc i love them your honour:
Fuuuck I just loss 20000 dollars in adverisement revenue and potential sales when that guy over there didn’t look at my flyer because he was talking to the girl he was walking with. The sensible option here is to ban talking while walking since it’s literally theft.
brb thinking ab that time i said that it sucks that there aren't really any ethnic food places that have gf food in my city and one of my coworkers said "what? no, there's tons!" and then listed a restaurant that has cross-contamination issues...
“Big Pharma” okay are we talking about how privatization and monetization has deeply corrupted the field of medicine or are you talking about how you think chemicals in the water are making the frogs gay
“GMOs”? Are we talking seeds that grow sterile plants and patenting genetic modifications then destroying any competition no matter how small they are? Or are we talking life saving rice with vitamin a to make sure kids don’t go blind in regions not suited for other high vit a veg? … or are we talking about your chidoodle?
"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

anyways thanks! also this is about to be so longwinded bc i am unable to be concise
last song : struggling to remember but it was probably either can't love by can't be blue & HAN (from straykids, he was the whole reason i listened in the first place and i'm in love w the song, the guitar is amazing, i will def be checking out their other music) ... or it was MARTYR by EKOH which is loud and depressing and basically sums up my music taste!
currently watching : Unforgotten Night (thai bl, rewatching it bc it's one of my faves) and any video Shawna Ripari posts on YT bc her vibes are immaculate and we love sustainability and conscious consumerism! also i am technically currently watching Doom at Your Service but i have 3 eps left bc i can't bring myself to finish it (i've had 3 eps left since nov 😭). AND i've also been following this dude on YT who just discovered stray kids and is watching through their mvs and content! his name is VyScope on YT and i love his reactions bc he genuinely appreciates their music and it's so fun to see him experience all these things for the first time!
current obsession : i actually don't think i have any current obsessions lowkey (a rarity for me) but i am always obsessed w leverage, elementary, and stray kids. a couple days ago i was scrolling tumblr and found a couple of very in-depth character analyses of elementary and i was so excited! character analysis is my fuckin' jam! also if you want my rants about bl or asian dramas in general i do that here: @yeahhabsolutely
currently reading :
1. Son of a Wanted Man by Louis L'Amour - he is my #1 favourite author and i love his books so much, i literally own all of his books, and i'm almost done reading all of them! i have like 10ish left. he was the most famous/most popular western author of the 20th century! if you want book suggestions, hmu i am always down to talk ab him and his books!
2. Sick Houses by Leila Taylor - literally such a cool book, it is about the architecture of horror-related houses and structures! i actually can't watch horror because i am a grade-a wuss, but this book combines architecture and sociology which is one of my fave combos! i am almost done it, but have been so busy that i haven't gotten around to finishing it yet. i can't recommend this book enough it is SO interesting! this is part of the book description on Libby: "Sick Houses crosses the threshold of eerie spaces to explore how different types of architecture become vessels for terror and how these spaces, meant to shelter us, instead become the source of our deepest fears."
currently working on : nothing nothing at all meep meep no thoughts (eta: i am actually working on a crocheted baby blanket for a friend! i literally remembered immediately after i posted this lol)
last google search : kinda depressing, but i looked up house fires in my city bc there were some recently and it prompted me to get renter's insurance (i moved recently and it had slipped my mind until this reminded me). 4 houses burnt down and also damaged other houses and cars on the block so that sucks 😬

Yay fun!
Last song: ummm do I count the last one I chose (Tamebsz by Angine de Poitrine) the last one that I heard on streaming radio (Hair Down by Samm Henshaw) or the one stuck in my head on repeat (Magic of the Sale by Teethe).
Currently watching: Elementary (second watch), Bob's Burgers (first watch), Starfleet Academy (first watch), Colombo (first watch), Flight of the Conchords (first watch)
Currently reading: The Seven Surrenders by Ada Palmer. If "enlightenment-era hot mess sci-fi" were a genre, this would be it. Ok ok, it's a lot deeper than that, but, man, is it deliberately messy
Current obsession: I know it doesn't really fit the theme but... Pickleball? I love how I can just show up to the local public court and join a team like I'm playing fortnite fills or something, except I'm getting exercise and no one is saying the N-word. My opponent might be 12 or 75, and that's part of the fun for me.
Currently working on: learning FreeCAD because I'm reeaaally late to the party on 3d printing and I wanted to learn a tool for making designing stuff. It's hard, lol. Putting ethernet cable in my house because the walls have that kind of plaster that hates wi-fi but I'm still pretty early in that project, it might not go anywhere. "Working on" getting my ass back to a museum cause it's been a few months since I consumed high culture.
@the-nerdy-autist @geekysteven @songstarliner @18electrons @biitumen @caketopus-bleg yeah I suck at social network stuff
reblog with topics you'd do a 40 min youtube video essay about in the tags
Ever think about how Eliot is known - widely known, globally known - for violence? That he's killed and maimed countless people, sometimes with his bare hands? That hardened criminals, assassins, hear his name and are afraid? Ever think about how it must feel to have someone like Parker, who is fully aware of his past and everything he's capable of, get in his space and physically tease him and put stupid hats on his head like he's her own giant dress-up doll, with zero fear, zero hesitation? To be on the receiving end of that bone-deep trust, where it never even seems to occur to her that poking the beast could be dangerous?
I think about it a lot.
#i also think about the way Eliot yells at Parker and Hardison sometimes#because! he's so controlled! so soft-spoken! with everyone#because he knows he IS scary and dangerous. he keeps his demeanor so mild to put people at ease#but when Parker and Hardison get under his skin he shouts at them and shows his irritation#as if HE is trusting THEM to know that his anger will never ever come with violence. that he is never a threat to them.#he can let his guard down. he can be human. and cranky. and imperfect. he can be teased like a regular person.#i just wonder how it feels. to be seen as lovable and funny and playful and safe.#to be seen as a man after so many years of only being a weapon. (via mariposakitten)
Look, I have nothing against my older gifs still gaining notes - I honestly love it! BUT, this was my second ever leverage gif, and lets just say that it's just not up to par when compared to my current stuff. So, here you all are, a new improved version of this gif!
read this piece of prose this week and loved it:
Poems, readings, poetry news and the entire 110-year archive of POETRY magazine.
the poetry foundation is such a fun website to find new authors! i get their newsletter to my email every month and i love seeing what people have written, and often it's people i've never heard of before!
i feel like i don't talk about how much i love writing and poetry on tumblr but i love poetry, and there will always be a part of me watching anne of green gables and hearing her recite the highwayman...UGH so good. there is a part of me specially reserved for the romantic (not romance, the romantic)
i literally have an insta account where i post my own writing (beware, it is very depressing lol) and i find it so helpful for me to process my emotions and work through how i feel about different aspects of my life. if you want to read my writing you can find me here:
280 Followers, 236 Following, 166 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Dee (@lowercase.poetry)
if anyone has any suggestions for poets or writers, i will gladly take them! i've read poetry for years, but i feel like i'm kinda boring and don't branch out very much haha, i would love to have more variety in the type of writing i read
sorry to be a broken record every month but christ menstruation is a stupid concept. oooooh excuse me for not getting pregnant, why the fuck is there goo falling out of me about it? grow the fuck up and reabsorb that shit for nutrients.

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system
i find sherlock's relationship with touch incredibly interesting, especially when its related to watson.
throughout the show, sherlock is seen declaring his undying love and devotion for watson in the most matter of fact way possible. bouncing on his feet, eyes darting everywhere. standing firmly on the ground, gaze fixed on her. frenzied, relaxed. he has told her how much she means to him time and time again, in all ways possible. and yet, when it comes to touch, he shies away. those screenshots are from s5? s6? yeah so by that time he has made FAR more intimate declarations, so it stands to no reason why he should fuckin. poke her to wake her up😭😭
it is no secret that sherlock is, at least to some extent, touch averse. yes he has sex, but casual touch is Not his thing. whenever people get too chummy with him (physically) his look of disgust/unease is very apparent. to him, touch is usually seen as a means to an end. he seems to give touch easily when it's related to sex, something that gives him pleasure (which is also something he seems to view quite clinically. it's less about intimacy and more about endorphins and such. #asexualsherlock). he does not, however, touch people just cause. he doesn't give casual touches easily. so it's easy to say that even if he Does love joan a lot, he doesn't exactly like physical touch in the manner of hugs, arms on shoulders, etc. and its totally valid, because not being comfortable with physical affection doesn't mean you love someone any less.
but! it doesn't end here. sherlock's feelings about touch w.r.t joan evolves throughout the show, just as their relationship does.
in season 2, joan gets kidnapped. sherlock is beside himself, and mycroft tells him that joan is "the person you love the most in the world". very early on its established just how much she means to him.
this scene was so impactful. maybe more so than it would've been if sherlock hugged her or frantically checked her for injuries. the first time I watched it, I was struck by the sheer weight of his gaze as he stood in front of her and just. stared. how he crossed the distance between them and stood so close, and yet didn't touch. silent, but breathing hard. not a single movement made and yet, i could see him almost vibrating out of his skin. the noise in his head finally just. stops. she was here. watson was here. and he didn't need to touch to make sure, no—it was her. he could never mistake her. not her, never her.
and watson must've known it too, known his desperation. after all, she is the one who knows him best. that's why right after she sees him she says "it's okay. it's alright." when he comes close, she doesn't move. doesn't step back to put any distance between them. looks back at him steadily, sees the noise in his head, the trapped chaos in him. softly, softly, she says: "im alright."
this scene from s4 is the first time joan hugs sherlock. he doesn't seem to be expecting it, so he just. freezes. you can see him realising what happened only seconds after the hug got over.
this is so lovely because watson doesn't linger. she doesn't ask him why he isn't hugging her back, because she knows. she knows he isn't really comfortable with physical affection, and that's why throughout the series we see her keep any physical touch limited when it comes to sherlock. but sometimes it just bursts out of her, all that love and relief and just the sheer magnitude of it. so she hugs him, and doesn't wait for him to hug her back. sherlock has always been better with words and actions. she knows without a doubt that he loves her, so this does not bother her at all. but she needs to show it, you know. she can't bare her heart to him through words as often as he does to her. this is how she loves, and she's aware that this is not how sherlock loves, too. and she's okay with that.
what strikes me the most is the surprise in sherlock's face. the momentary glitch in his brain that is always in overdrive. he always does that whenever watson expresses her love for him, when she shows that she loves him as much as he loves her in her own way. it's baffling. he lies and he is rude and he is a lost cause. and yet, she loves him. his dear watson.
scene from s6 that kills me. my god. the way she's hugging him. the way she holds him closer even after he says "my personality has not changed, watson." what sets this hug different from the previous one is the ease of his shoulders. he didn't expect the hug, sure, but he doesn't look like his fight or flight response has been triggered, either. AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S SO SO IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS SCENE??? THE WAY HE DOESN'T TRY TO SHRUG HER OFF. he doesn't hug her back, sure, but look at the placement of his hands. after he gets the text he is holding his other hand in a way that makes sure he isn't jostling her too much. steadying their hug. he isn't the one who says "that's enough now, we have to go." WATSON is the one who pulls back after she's done. he is keeping her steady. HE IS KEEPING HER STEADY. HE DOESN'T WANT HER TO LET GO. WHATEVER!!
s6 again. here, he invites her for a hug, more or less. he is expecting it this time. arms open, grin blinding. he knows she'll come to her. he's home. he's back by her side.
the most interesting part about it is that he still doesn't hug her back. and it's not that he doesn't want to hug watson, no, but it's that it's too much.
it is established very early on that sherlock experiences everything—be it emotions or senses—a lot more intensely than the average person. throughout the series, there are many many scenes where he has declared his love for her and almost every time, he seems stricken. shaken by the intensity of the love he feels for her. it seems to hurt him sometimes, and often overwhelms him. he doesn't have anything against hugs, you see. he hugs marcus back in the beginning of s7, smiling. but never once has he hugged back joan (till that point) when she has hugged him. and i submit that it's not because he loves her less that he doesn't hug her back—it's because he loves her in ways he can't really express. it's bigger than him, you see. this kind of love is unfamiliar to him. what he had with moriarty was different. but this? he is utterly unprepared for this.
and then, crescendo .
no longer will he try to hold himself back. he almost lost her because he wanted to hold himself back, because he told himself that he is too much, too rotten, burning, burning and he thought he will take her down with him because his watson, his dearest watson, is good. she will follow him willingly. he thought he was sparing them both the hurt, and he almost lost her because of his stupidity. so it doesn't matter if his skin feels like it's on fire when he holds her. it doesn't matter if all the love he has labelled and put in neat boxes spill out, messy, never ending. it doesn't matter if she thrashes against his hold and tells him she's fine. it doesn't matter if she fights his love. he's staying. of course he's staying.
never again will he leave her. never again.
@poohsticksandkaratekicks can't believe i've never drawn them !!
