Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?

*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest

How experienced do you think Arthur’s is in bed and where would he get it from because I don’t see him as someone to sleep with harlots as much but he probably has when he’s desperate

i honestly think arthur’s too much of a romantic to have been with working girls as often as other men in camp have because imo he needs to have a connection with the person he has sex with but i do think it could be possible that he’d gotten to know a specific girl he’d visit from time to time so they wouldn’t be complete strangers and also there has been abigail because i remember it being mentioned that she did sleep with arthur at least once before she got pregnant with jack but apart from that i think he’s still pretty fresh to the sex scene, i mean he definitely had experience with eliza because isaac was born but i don’t think he had sex with mary simply because she doesn’t seem like the type to have sex before marriage and given the way she views herself as higher on the social hierarchy than him i don’t think she would’ve lost her virtue to him

okay so i got carried away by the backstory but to answer your question: i don’t think arthur is particularly experienced but he’s a natural and he’s also a fast learner so it’s not a problem!

James and Regulus in the forbidden forest

Regulus: How do you know this place was sacred?

James: That’s obvious

Regulus: Pretend it isn’t

James: Everything here … is so full of life. Every tree, every leaf, every insect

Regulus:

James: It’s as if the world is vibrating. As if everything is much more than itself.

Regulus: You feel all that?

James (smiling softly): Don’t you?

Remember the live action Justice League movie that came out a few years ago? Earlier today i had a dream about what was essentially a sequel movie, where everyone in the live action DCU get together to stop the big bad yadda yadda. And SOMEHOW they managed to get Ryan Reynolds to reprise his role as Green Lantern. Like no reboot. Its straight up that same Green Lantern from the 2011 movie i have only one memory of and im pretty sure was a flop. But heres when it gets funny. Every scene with him in it was filmed like Deadpool. His first appearance involved him running from the cameras screaming that he'd never wear the CGI suit again. He keeps breaking the fourth wall to absolutely roast himself and the other characters (*cough* Batman *cough*) and most importantly the crew. The first time they all suit up he cycles through a ton of super suits Scooby Doo unmasking reveal style until its something that passes for a GL suit. The JL are beyond done with him but they can't break the fourth wall like he can so they can't physically stop the Ryan Reynolds shenaniganery. The rest of the movie is broody and serious this is JUST every Hal Jordan scene

Just some unimportant ponderings for your mv x ev crossover. You mentioned them possibly going after Astel as a false lead and I got caught in a spiral on how tf they get there without the ranni quest. So if we want a fun detour we can say they are looking for mentions of a fallen meteor. Arthur, who has dabbled in Carian magic, makes a logical leap that a place of astrology and knowledge would be a good start. No academy key so that's not an immediate option, but the Carian study hall may have information. Perhaps they do get info there, maybe not. Their proximity to Ainsel river and the fact that it sits down there and is accessed only through the Ranni quest really can be stretched to there being some sort of lead to find in either there or the manor. They head to Ainsel river pursued by runebear. Ants. Void creature throwing rocks. Stumble their way accidentally to lake of rot overlook. Arthur falls down as a plot device. Back in the rot... again. Fight some fucking rot cultists. Fall down in the coffin. "Arthur! There is a huge fucking Void monster! Arthur! It's about to sh-!

PURSUED BY RUNEBEAR WHKJWHWJH also the amount of falling into things arthur does. incredibly correct. falls the whole way down from the overlook and gets another rot bath™ and somehow survives. trips into an open coffin and it turns out to be the lands between's only public transit vehicle. that's arthur for you. or maybe he was just so fucking exhausted from fighting/running from the dragonkin AND the tree spirit AND the cultists that he was just like john, listen, i'm gonna fucking, i'm just gonna take a nap. in the coffin. it looks so comfy. yes i know i can't see it you described it as comfy. well you said it could physically hold me which is basically the same thing. fucking. shut up, i need this. and then they fall off a cliff Again this time in a coffin. or, possibly more believably, the pests in the area knock them out and put them in the coffin for some ritual purpose known only to them. or to say 'get out of our cloister you weren't even invited.' OR they have to hide in the coffin from the pests. idk why i'm so hung up on getting him into the coffin but i guess we have a lot of options now

ok wait more Plot Thoughts about this. the astel in ainsel is already so like, Barely overtly relevant to the ranni questline as it is, that i almost feel like it would make More sense if they were pursuing astel on purpose rather than just running into it completely accidentally while helping a living doll take over her step-mom's civilization. i think caria almost definitely has a connection to the eternal cities, so maybe while they're in the study hall they find references to the ill-starred monster from the void that totally wrecked one of them. and obviously they're like oh shit, a monster that came in on a meteor and destroyed a city?? this has GOTTA be what kayne wanted us to kill. it's a slam dunk!! and then it's. still. the wrong. fucking. meteor monster.

Do you have any headcanons of Morgana?

Hmmm I don't really think much about her if I'm being honest, but here's a few!

Morgana came into her magic pretty late compared to other wizards, such as Douxie. She's actually in her thirties during Camelot and only stops aging after she's trapped in the Trollmarket Heartstone. She would have anyway stopped aging, but most of her centuries were spent trapped, so she never really matured, her mind stayed trapped in a way too.

I think it's very hard to keep your sanity if you can't move your body and only have yourself for company. So I imagine despite Morgana finding ways to semi communicate with her changelings, she went a little mad during all the centuries she was imprisoned. That explains how crazy she was when she was eventually freed.

Morgana actually cared about Douxie quite a bit, she considered him almost a younger brother. But the fact he didn't question or defy Merlin or Arthur when he KNEW they were wrong frustrated her to no end. So she eventually clumped him with Merlin and Arthur to soothe her conscience when she fought against him in Wizards.

i just thought of another question :D what is something arthur found unexpected about iron bull? was there anything about arthur that surprised bull?

I think the Iron Bull was, as a whole, entirely unexpected for Arthur; he had a lot of preconceived notions about the Qunari as a Marcher in relative proximity to Kirkwall in the 9:30s and the Trevelyans are very devout Andrastians, so none of those preconceived notions wouldn't have been favourable. Bull being so personable and open about what he was disarmed Arthur and his initial wariness. It still took a little bit to fully defrost and trust him, but the way Bull quite frankly masterfully navigated that conversation and got Arthur to warm up to the idea of having him around when he was initially resistant (Arthur told him he wasn't sure the Inquisition needed any more mercenaries) really did wonders.

Bull had done his research on him, of course. Circle mage, Chantry family, never joined the rebels. Assumed he must have a stick up his ass. He expects nobles to be assholes, to look down on the rest of the poor bastards who didn't get blessed by birth to live a life of luxury. Arthur being quite down to earth for a noble surprised him. He still has his moments when that little bit of highborn defiance comes through (and honestly.... it's kinda hot), but seeing the early displays of compassion to the refugees in the Hinterlands and seeing it was out of genuine care and not an act being put on to further the stories of the Herald of Andraste warmed Bull up to Arthur quite nicely as well.

status: closed

pairing: arthur & wren

based: things we plotted

with: @darkwants

it wasn't as if it was anything new for the redhead. wren was used to being seen as nothing more than an object. after all she had grown up in one of the houses designated for women without families. she knew the laws and knew that she was allowed to be used by the general public. at least, unless, someone opted to claim her and take her in as their own. the rules for the houses were different because they wanted the girls to be claimed to empty the bed. that afternoon had been a rough one due to a rather angry man who felt the need to take his feelings out on her. by the time he had finished, she had been trembling. she found herself walking into the area that was designated for after care. even if women were treated like property, they were still to be looked after. she fully expected to head into the area where the baths and showers were. until she spotted arthur who had been lingering by a few of the other girls. he had come for her a few times but she had told him he couldn't keep it up unless he wanted to claim her. she was frozen at the sight of him but without thinking she was going to throw herself into his arms," i'm-i'm sorry!"

HI!! HELLO!! SORRY IF THIS IS SUDDEN. HOWEVER. THOUGHTS AND/OR THEORIES ON THE NEW ETN CONTENT? WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'LL GET IN A WEEK?

hello!!! and don't worry it's not sudden, my inbox is free for any questions or thoughts or what have you haha. as for any theories ...

for starters, i think it's pretty clear we're getting season five rather than a spin-off or what have you. at first i wasn't too sure, but once the artifact was revealed as pandora's box? yeah, this is s5. this was the cliffhanger we were left on four years ago and i think it was very purposeful of the team to include that as our first teaser. there's still a tiny chance that instead of a season, we'll get a book, given the use of 'chapter' and the fact joey's an author irl but i doubt this? joey was pretty upfront about the season one board game awhile back after some basic teasing, probably because he knew fans would be disappointed if he led them to believe it was a new season for too long, so i can't see him pulling these cryptic stunts unless it was for a real season. he's been steadily and quietly building intense anticipation for this, which is similar to his announcements of other seasons in the past. maybe this is something everyone knows but i just wanted to clarify! since i've seen some people ( rightfully! ) still being on the fence about it as to not get their hopes up. i can also say my theory for the era will be 1950s themed, since mr. graceffa has a penchant for the 1900s ( 3/4 of his seasons are set in this era ) and he's expressed interest in it before ; most notably with a diner setting of sorts. personally, i'd want an era that's further back like s2, but maybe he'll surprise me!

honestly, i don't have many theories for etn s5 in general. i was of the firm belief it wasn't happening, so i haven't spared it much thought besides what everyone else expected it to be. people are probably going to enter pandora's box to save joey, or for another unrelated reason, or maybe they've been trapped there, but it'll likely still revolve around getting the savant out of the box. the only two things i'm forming tentative theories about, in an overall fashion, is that we might return to the s1 estate? the house emoji reminded me of it, considering the estate was called 'the house built without hands', and the decrepit look of the house was too interesting to be anything but intentional. something that's been abandoned and has rotted because of it. after such a long hiatus and how long etn has been running for, it would feel fitting to make a return to where the tragedy started ... so i could see this in the cards for s5. the other thing is that, due to the social media cleanse etn's pages took, i do think something will be different about the usual formula as well. i heard they were following amazon tv and netflix right before going dark, so it might also move platforms, which. yeah. obviously! the entire point as to why it got stalled to begin with was due to youtube red no longer supporting it. but i'm trying to cover all my bases here, since you asked and i like being thorough! my point being that when another production company gets involved, there should be an expectation of little or major changes coming with it. so i like keeping that in mind, just in case. i also semi hope joey learned his lesson after fans' disappointment ( unjustified or not ) with s4 keeping the same formula despite being a 'special' season.

the accounts also posted something about halloween weekend, which if this is a season, i'm guessing we might get a trailer or another teaser in video form ( but longer ). 11/2 seems to be the most important date overall, because that's probably when they'll start releasing it? or maybe, like before, halloween will be promotional images of the cast that'll get revealed on november second, with a trailer to boot. who knows! those are just my guesses as for what i think i'll see in the following days.

now! with my weak attempts of theory crafting out of the way, i'll share my thoughts!

as mentioned in a previous post, and as all my friends know from countless dms, i'm actually more nervous than excited for s5! it's been four years and as a die hard fan who's poured a lot of time, effort, and care into the individual characters and storyline i'm naturally weary of this being a 'bad' season. my main concern is that'll feel like just any other season of escape the night rather than something important ; because this is our fifth go at this and we haven't advanced much in the plot, or dedicated much time into the savant's progression and downfall. in my head, i've always viewed s5 as the finale so to speak. an end to etn. i guess it's because i don't know where else we'll go after joey is, inevitably, freed from pandora's box. we can't keep up the same rhythm of : joey gets trapped/hurt/needs help, so he invites his friends willingly or unwillingly over to an era out of time, they come and then die, and boom here's our two survivors as this shit starts again. s4 changed this slightly, which i give it some credit for, but at the end of the day it was still the same thing. etn isn't only a reality show competition and a fun death game, it's always been given this overarching plot that we're supposed to care about and believe in. but uh! we haven't gone anywhere with that. there's been no real sign of this cursed god and we've hardly explored the society against evil and we still know nothing about why the collector even did what she did. these blanks are ones i've happily filled and played with over the years, but people want answers! and the show really has to stop dancing around actual, meaningful plot for the sake of doing this for as long as possible. shows who have ten or so seasons are never good and they quickly lose any semblance of interesting plots, well done characters, and general creativity by season six and onward. it's happened to countless shows! including cartoon products who don't have the same amount of serious stakes or plot. it's just a risky move, so we need to start delving into this shit now rather than later, that is if etn wants to go that route.

in my opinion, the cursed god vs sae battle is one that isn't joey's ( or any of the other characters' ) concern. it never has been. the carnival master wasn't lying when he said the sae caught joey into a war that isn't his, and frankly i'm very vocal about my distaste towards the so called good guys of the story. they've used joey just as much as the other side at this point. people love forgetting this but the only reason joey actually lured the s3 gang into danger and let them die was because jael and ryu gave him the choice to begin with. had they not bothered him, he would've stayed dead and not hurt anyone anymore ... would've been allowed to rest! during the scene, they also use very purposeful and pointed wording to scare him into agreeing. if people told me i'd be 'lost among the dead forever' if i refused to potentially sacrifice my friends? i'd be tempted to make that deal too. at the end of the day, these people are bad for the savant. they need to get out of his life pronto and they need to stop using his friends as body shields for a war nobody's agreed to. the only reason mat and nikita even joined them was because they were under the illusion they could save the everlockers! like, i do not fuck with the sae. and if i could wishfully conjure up a plotline in s5, it'd be joey realizing that they're bad news and that they've played a heavy hand in how traumatized, apathetic, and hated he's become. to me the perfect s5 ending would be joey stepping back, letting this centuries old war continue without him, and then just going somewhere. disappears all quiet. now i know that's unlikely lol. yet i do want it to be clear that if joey dies and stays dead, i'll likely come out of the new season disliking it. i've never been a fan of people wanting some perfect happy ending, where joey dies and then everyone else is revived. it'd make the emotions i've felt over this show and these avoidable deaths meaningless! and besides, i think joey should actually be forced to live with his actions after everything's said and done, rather than getting a quick out.

ahem! i also hope the box has warped joey in some way, like it did with that sae agent. let him have non-human features! let him be a villain! as lovingly as possible, joey needs to hit rock bottom before we can see any real redemption from him. his character development has always been negative, a downwards spiral, so i hope this sticks in s5. let him get worse before he gets better! its simply more fun than way, and irl joey deserves to play a bad guy and have total fun with it tbh.

oh, and i don't want this to be an all winners season. i actually don't ever want an all winners season <3 mainly because if i have to watch any of the survivor pairs be forced into killing each other i'll never recover. and i'm just not interested in having to listen to people claim mat and eva would be the survivers because they're just 'so smart' ... if i have to re-do arguments of why having a big brain isn't enough to save you in etn, and that these death games are in fact not fair, it'll be a bad day for everyone. some things are better left in the past! on this note, despite my selfish want for them to return, i don't know if i actually want mat and nikita back, like narratively? while they care for joey and want answers, they failed the one thing they wanted to do. and now they actually have to begin the grieving process for everyone they desperately hoped to get back. just feels like seeing them in s5 all smiles and behaving nonchalantly would feel off, you know? although that's probably a minor, insignificant concern compared to the rest of these things. ahhh what else ...

i can't really think of anything more! i'm sure something will hit me later, yet that's it for now i guess! sorry for how absolutely incoherent this all is ; it's three am and i'm not good at airing so many things out at once, no matter how many times i've thought about it. however, thank you for the question!!! it was very fun to answer, if not a little nerve wrecking since i know some of these are. unpopular opinions. but i just wanted to be brutally honest!

Hi

If you like Oscar and Arthur pairing you should read Wild Flower in a Rose Bouquet by Oracle_Venus on ao3

Really well written

oooh, hi! thanks so much for the rec, anon <333 🥰 *adds to reading list immediately* 😊

[jimmythejiver]

Apparently one of my favorite tropes to write is the "I'm the father, not that guy raising him, oops I'm wrong due to bad counting, misconstrued prophecy or power of belief, looks like he is the father after all" anti-reveal. Don't know if this ever shows up anywhere (must've in some broken clock's always right twice a day soap opera plot), but I've done it twice. Not that that's a spoiler or anything XP
