Sherlock: You're So Pretty...

I always find it hilarious when more recent adaptations of Sherlock Holmes makes Holmes the dreamy heartthrob/attractive one (not that he’s not a total catch) because my dudes, Watson is right there. He is literally like a Victorian wet dream, he is everything that classic Victorian period would find appealing- adventurous, fought for his country, learned, has groomed facial hair (legit that was like the equivalent of being 6’ tall today), polite. He’s got just enough “melancholy” (depression) and rakishness (gambling) to still be a gentleman but like a bad boy gentleman. A real Romantic (both romance how we think of it today and like Romanticism) archetype. If anyone is the heartthrob here, it is Watson.

ao3 fics i’ve loved!!!

i’ve been reading a LOT of ao3 genshin fics lately, and wanted to share some love for them and the authors over here! some may have tumblr pages that i don’t know about, so pls feel free to let me know if i miss any.

they’re listed in no particular order:)

hall of fame

aka ones i can’t stop thinking about

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (kaeya x albedo) | multi-chapter - this is SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DEPICTION OF ALBEDO AND KAEYA i feel so many emotions just THINKING about it. fluff and smut and everything nice 🥰

A Thief in a Mansion by Wiolli (kaeya x albedo) | multi-chapter - this was so fucking gorgeous. so. gorgeous. i loved this so so so much. if you read it PLEASE talk to me about it.

you are the night time fear by PaintItBlack (childe x zhongli) | 22.4k words - god this is such a fucking good blend of smut and angst. it’s kinda long (just like zhongli’s di-) but WORTH IT

multi-chapter works

Hellbent by virixe (scaramouche x reader) - a literal NOVEL, incredible angst (some fluff, but mostly angst) and i’m normally not one to read angst. it’s literally so good i can’t even put into words how much i was engrossed in it. the author just finished it, i truly couldn’t stop checking for updates as it was coming out!

The Thief and the Harbingers by Lauren___manuel (scaramouche x reader, childe x reader) - PHEW i fell in-love with this depiction of childe so much. it’s being updated every friday!!

As a River Carves Through Mountains by go_ask_ash (childe x zhongli) - PHEW this combo of smut and angst and fluff… again, i’m usually not one for angst. but BOI is the angst in this incredible. i’m eagerly waiting for the next chapter to come out.

Meteor Shower by valkyrie_cha (childe x zhongli) - this had me all types of horny and emotional. it’s not finished, tho, and i don’t think ever will be. SO that’s a warning:’)

one-shots/short works

Kiss Me Till the Night Ends by rivervul (kaeya x albedo) - phew.

Cry for Me by rivervul (kaeya x albedo) - phew 2.0. needy albedo has my mind running a mile a minute.

Open Canvas for My Beloved by umathe (childe x zhongli) - this is so lovely and so spicy 🥵 childe is determined to find a way to mark zhongli’s quick-healing body the way zhongli does to his. it’s … *chef’s kiss*

Gentleman’s Curfew by scattertxt (kaeya x albedo) - this is simultaneously tooth-rotting and spicy. what’s better than that???

Give and Take by lunalagnia (kaeya x albedo) - imma say it, something about inexperienced albedo with kaeya taking it slow is just … nice. also i just KNOW albedo’s lil diamond mark is sensitive.

the best decision by mylomanya (kaeya x albedo) - i’m typically one for top kaeya x sub albedo but this dom albedo is NICEEEEEEEE

this thing is the best ever

Palestine campaigns with under a thousand donations

Trying a new tactic with the fundraisers on my pinned list. These campaigns appear to gain a lot more traction when the number of donations hits a thousand, so here's a way to highlight those that could use more. These have all been vetted by Palestinians on Tumblr. Just like the main list, I'll keep you all updated with how things progress, and as always, if you can't donate, reblog.
