Okay, so this one is legit one of my faves. See, I used the CSP models to get things the way I wanted to, then I made the modifications I needed to my line art to get that really close feeling I wanted, and it *really* worked out! I love these two. They're best friends in the AU they're both in, and I wanted to get that across, which I think I did!

Oof, it’s been so long since I’ve given any kind of update even though I finished the 6th Lady Sherlock a few days ago. I just kept getting distracted and forgot to write down thoughts 😂 I think I remember most my thoughts but they’re a little jumbled now 😭

Anyway, I really like how this book started with letters from different characters. Especially Charlotte's to Ingram because this lady, man. She’s ahead of her time, isn’t she? Writing smutty fanfic before smutty fanfic was even a thing LOL. Now that these two finally confessed and are treating each other like actual lovers, they really aren’t holding back are they? 😂

Something else I really loved was Mama Watson. She’s so protective of Charlotte, not wanting her to deal with Moriarty alone and even willing to take a bullet for her. I love her 😭. Give her some adoption papers so she can fully take on the Holmes Sisters and get them away from their awful blood parents. We got the One True Mother over here.

I’ll say the main thing that I keep thinking about is the ending and how Charlotte faked her death and whatnot. I wonder if readers actually thought she died if they were following the series from the start and didn’t know there was another book coming. I might’ve thought that but I think the ‘death’ would have to be closer to the end of the book.

That and the ‘death’ was too easy. Like, if you’re going to kill off a Sherlock Holmes character, it’s gotta be done right or there’s (probably) gonna be backlash. Especially because Sherlock is so iconic. It has to be satisfying and actually make sense.

The last thing I wanna talk about is Moriarty and him coming to Charlotte and co. Ngl, I loved how everyone was scared and on edge. That was such a power move for Moriarty to step into “enemy territory” first. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want him to win against Charlotte and co. but I love an antagonist who feels like they’re in control and shows that off.

I’m really curious to see what direction Sherry Thomas will take the series in. The audiobooks are also getting longer, so that’s fun that I have more to take in. I gotta wait a while until the next one (but wait, as soon as I send this it’ll be ready lol) and then I will finally be caught up! It’s always satisfying to catch up with a series, especially when more books are being released.

ALL OF THIS!

Yes, you're so right! Oh my gosh yes, I completely agree with everything you said.

Charlotte would love tumblr. I'm just gonna say it right now. I think her blog would be lit LOL.

Mama Watson is the real MVP. I love her. I would do anything for her. Mama Watson deserves the world.

I don't know about the whole fake death thing if I would have believed it or not because I know the fake death thing is hardcore Holmes canon so it would make sense for it to be here too. Plus like how dare anyone kill off the main character. This is not Game of Thrones.

I'm really curious to see what Sherry Thomas does too. I feel like there's a lot of ways she could go with it, especially with how clever the whole series has been so far, anything is possible.

I'm so so so SO glad you've enjoyed it all so far. It makes me happy! And thank you for sharing all your thoughts with me, book related and not. I enjoy conversing with you.

A Moment in Time - Dearly Missed

[inkskinned]

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.
