Tagged by @omarfor-orchestra, @technicallycleverdetective aaand @gaysessuale quite some time ago, but I’m bored rn and have a lot of things to do so I’m doing this instead ❤️ since this took me a while to write some things are no longer d’actualité but I’m just crossing them instead of deleting just because, and also because three people tagged me so each will get one 🫶🏼 (in most categories, in others I can’t think of anything more)
3 ships:
Nicotino Skam It
Naditza/Filippo MF
I can’t think of a third one, I’ve been searching my head for over 10 minutes and nothing comes up?? Simuel UP, perhaps?
First ever ship:
Frankly I have no idea, depends when we start counting. Maybe Katniss/Peeta from the Hunger Games ?
Last song:
Comme Tu Dis - Pomme
Siamo A Metà - Leo Gassmann
Boys Don’t Cry - Mikolas Josef
Last movie:
Il Bagno Turco (1997)
Come Des Frères (2012)
Les Petits Mouchoirs (2010)
Not to spoil but like all of them made me cry
Currently reading:
Le Otto Montagne - Paolo Cognetti and Can You Keep a Secret - Sophie Kinsella (aka the only book in english I could find here, I wanted to read a bit in english too) this hasn’t changed at all because I don’t think I even opened them again after I first wrote this whoops
Currently watching:
oh boy, so many things I think, sometimes I start shows and then forget about them for a while. La Porta Rossa, Les Combattantes, Succession, New Girl, WWDITS, Fleabag, Tutto Chiede Salvezza, You, From Scratch, Je Te Promets, La Faute à Rousseau aaand I just remembered I never watched the last episode of Generazione 56k 🫣 And other things I’m probably forgetting. And of course Mare Fuori!! I finished it since then :( ahh and I still need to watch the second season of Young Royals so you could count that already
Currently consuming:
my patience cereals
Craving:
a little bit of courage to do the things I want to do. Or like, pizza too, I haven’t had that in a while. And a spritz.
Some of you may have already done it by now but I’m tagging: @suicide-inthe-trenches , @breaddo , @sassy-sara , @evadingreallife , @abissalemp3 , @fcblues , @violeblanche , @sophiamcdougall , @pezzo-di-paradiso

I yearn to talk about my Dracula!Holmes au, and the universe has seen fit to give me free will and internet access, so talk i shall.
Listen. Hear me out just hear me out.
We literally have Johnathan motherfucking Harker whose written POV we read Dracula from for like a solid half of the book, right. Well, no more, he's John Watson now babeyyy, a retired army man now gainfully employed as a lawyer who's off overseas to act as estate agent to the strange and eccentric client who has expressed interest in moving to foggy London... Count Holmes! [insert jazz hands]
Instead of being Evil(tm) and plotting to take over London or whatever, my guy is just Autistic. Also riddled with ADHD and in desperate need of some enrichment in he goddamn enclosure. He will also in fact be trans, because. Of course. Vampirism as a metaphor for queerness and the social ostracization that follows as a punishment and having inherently queer narratives intertwined in them etc etc... anyhow! Count Sherlock Holmes, vampire detective!!!
(I do also want him to be aroace, or aroacespec at least, but I'm willing to negotiate for the Johnlock and the Johnlock alone.)
Mina Harker here is of course the one and only Mary Morstan, although it is clearly a lavender marriage, because we aren't cowards in this household and so Mary gets to be gay with her Lucy equivalent here, just as god intended. I haven't decided who her Lucy equivalent will be yet but this au is still young (technically I've been going insane about it in my mind for like a month or two but whatever) and there's no reason we can't make up an OC for her Lucy.
John Watson, resident gay doctor lawyer, of course, is smart enough to realize the enigmatic Count Holmes' vampiric secret within like one adventure, but he sure is going to have a slow burn of realizing just how gay he is for said enigmatic Count Holmes. We, of course, get to witness this tooth rotting bullshit firsthand as we read his diary entries and some later letters to Mary.
And instead of being one long gothic horror narrative, it's just adventure of the week with your friendly neighborhood crime solving vampire, the various other mythical creatures who do said crimes, and Just Some Guy.
Just, every Sherlock Holmes adventure adapted into this au with other supernatural elements. The guy from the Red Headed League is a local villager being bamboozled by a leprechaun, the Silver Blaze thing is about a kelpie. Everyone including Sherlock was operating on the assumption that Irene Adler was a siren, but actually she was just a regular human, and instead of unlearning misogyny (bc I don't see trans vampire Sherlock living so long through changing times and society and being sexist), Sherlock has to learn not to underestimate the intelligence of humans.
Also, he's just really excited to have this new human, John, living in his castle. So curious, too, about humans, he has sequestered himself from them for such a long time and John seems like a very interesting one. He's probably the first friend Sherlock has had in a long time, too.
Also. Instead of being warded off or harmed by garlic, to Sherlock, garlic is just the vampire version of cocaine. He just gets high as fuck off garlic. Could live on the stuff. And the reason people think he's warded off by garlic is just because he was seen getting high off his ass, turning into a bat, and flying away in loop de loops upon consuming garlic one (1) time. And everyone thought it's his weakness. And he never bothered correcting them bc Why Would He. He's basically getting free cocaine left and right from villagers who are scared/wary of the supernatural Count Holmes and only go to him when there's no other option, and it's no bother to leave people he's not investigating alone.
I genuinely do think cocaine!garlic addicted Sherlock has so much comedic potential, it really is so beloved to me. Just imagine, if you will, an extremely put-upon John Watson caring for Batlock who has gotten high off his ass and refuses to stop flying into his own antique chandelier.
I was also thinking that it would be funny to have Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Turner in place of Dracula's sexy vampire roommates or whatever those three were lmao (I couldn't think of a third character, sorry)
Also. Obviously. Van Helsing has got to be Moriarty, by virtue of opposition. I do think their whole deal has a lot of potential to be very funny and entertaining also. I am also considering it might be fun to have Lucy's other suitors be the Scotland Yarders, like Lestrade, Gregson and what have you, but that risks missing out on the very fun possible dynamic of "Sherlock being exasperated with the dumbass out of their depth Yarders he keeps helping" raised to like the hundredth degree so. I honestly would like people's thoughts on that.
Anyway so YES, Dracula au please and thank you. Maybe with endgame QPR Johnlock? Yes? Please? Queerplatonic husbands Johnlock is my shit.
In conclusion: THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK <3
