Mince-pies and Christmas dessert followed the pudding. The older members of the party then retired for a welcome siesta before the tea-time ceremony of the lighting of the Christmas tree. Hercule Poirot, however, did not take a siesta. Instead, he made his way to the enormous old-fashioned kitchen. “It is permitted,” he asked, looking round and beaming, “that I congratulate the cook on this marvellous meal that I have just eaten?” - Agatha Christie, The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding

My collection of favourite quotes from Detective Inspector Thursday, a very eloquent man.

You don't think about something for long enough, you think you've forgotten. Then one day, something comes along.

Sherlock Holmes modern adaptation but the main characters (Sherlock, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Irene Adler, and maybe even Lestrade) are all vampires and they’ve just been doing their thing since the time period of the original books

Irene gets to be from New Jersey like she is in canon and she’ll occasionally show up and help Sherlock with a case but they don’t ever date or hook up or anything

buck and eddie were supposed to be the main shenanigans-causing investigative duo in a cozy mystery series who fall in love while trying to figure out who is committing murders by putting poison in yummy delicious pastries from buckley’s bakery. instead they are on 9-1-1 on abc formerly on fox.

Ben Aldridge as Matthew Venn and Declan Bennett as Jonathan Roberts in THE LONG CALL (2021)

I was raised… I was raised in fear and shame. I was raised to despise myself. I know it’s what you believe. I know that you didn’t mean to, or maybe you didn’t see what I was, or even admit it to yourself, because I did a very good job of hiding it. Mum… If I could have turned myself straight, I would have. If I could have taken a pill, or if the praying had worked… Even after I left, I spent years just hiding myself, just working, doing everything I could to be good, to redeem myself. And it was sad and it was lonely and I spent years like that.

And then…

Then I met Jonathan. And he showed me that I didn’t have to be scared all the time of people seeing who I really am. That I can be loved.

you know what keeps me up at night?

the relief on Rimmer's face in "Blue" when Lister hugs him. you can see the desperation in his eyes and it HAUNTS me.

and i know they make out right after and it's great lol, but something about the sheer, desperate need in his eyes when they finally embrace fucking kills me.

this man is so touch starved. and what makes it worse is that this is Lister's dream. he's imagining this being Rimmer's reaction to being hugged. somewhere in Lister's mind, even if it's subconscious, he knows how badly Rimmer needs to be held. HE KNOWS.
