Michael Afton's face when he finds out Michael Brooks who he called Homophobic words throughout all of Middle school and high school is now happily married with his husband and is living like a good happy life.

Well he's a lonely old angry inhuman loser

Haii (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)

I'm just curious on where the big schlong John thing ever started from lmao. Have a nice day (⁠~⁠‾⁠▿⁠‾⁠)⁠~♡

Hey Nonny!!

ACTUALLY, it was sort of joked about pre-S3 because of the way Martin carries John's character, but it's the show itself that actually confirmed it, in HLV:

SHERLOCK: Not bad. BILL (still looking at John): An’ I further deduce ... (Sherlock raises his eyebrows, and he and John exchange a brief glance.) BILL: ... you’ve only started recently, because you’ve got a bit of chafing. (John looks down his body.) SHERLOCK: No – he’s always walked like that. Remind me – what’s your name again?

[...]

JOHN: Er, I ... right. I should probably tell you ... (The man reaches into John’s jacket pocket and takes out Bill’s flick-knife.) JOHN: Okay, I ... (he points to the knife) ... That. (The man pulls John’s jacket open.) JOHN: And ... (The man stands up, holding the tyre lever he has just taken from John’s jeans and looking at him sternly. Sherlock looks startled. John steps closer to the man and speaks confidentially.) JOHN: Doesn’t mean I’m not pleased to see you. (The man does not look amused.) [x]

If you don't understand the context... basically John is SO used to having something large between his legs that him walking around and kicking ass for the first 20 minutes with a HUGE assed tire iron down his pants is NOTHING to this man. It's subtly implying he's used to carrying around a large and heavy package up front.

And how do we know that it’s not implying that John’s junk is small enough to fit a tire iron in his pants? Because of the “set-up and payoff” nature of these two lines within minutes of each other in the episode. There’s a reason I included the first chunk: Sherlock establishes to the audience that John ALWAYS walks “like that”, BEFORE we – and he – find out about the tire iron he’s been carrying around. This sets the precedent that John ALWAYS walks “like he’s chafing” but Sherlock deduces it’s because he has a giant dong.

This is immediately paid off with the big reveal that John has not only been carrying around his junk, but also a huge-assed tire iron too WHILE being a BAMF, and in turn surprising Sherlock because, “holy hell, wow that’s hot”. Sherlock was turned on, I like to think, LOL.

You can read more posts on my John’s Giant Junk (Masterpost) which has many fine voices in the fandom going into SERIOUS analysis about... John. Yes.

So, the TL;DR of it is that it's canon John has a giant dong, and Sherlock misjudged just how big it was and was shocked.

Take from that what you want, and enjoy, Nonny! <3

Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions

Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions

From the author of Salt Sugar Fat comes a “gripping” (The Wall Street Journal) exposé of how the processed food industry exploits our evolutionary instincts, the emotions we associate with food, and legal loopholes in their pursuit of profit over public health.

“The processed food industry has managed to avoid being lumped in with Big Tobacco - which is why Michael Moss’s new book is so important.” (Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit)

I came to the question of food and addiction inadvertently with the 2013 publication of my book Salt Sugar Fat. In it, I argued that grocery manufacturers were competing with fast-food chains in a race to the bottom that rewarded profits over health.

Over the past four decades, salt, sugar, and fat had enabled the industries to engineer products that were immensely alluring. Brilliant marketing campaigns pushed the emotional buttons that convinced us to eat when we weren’t even hungry.

Yet the book tried to end on a hopeful note. Knowing all that the companies did to prop up their unwholesome products, I argued, was oddly empowering. We could use that insight to make better choices because, ultimately, we were the ones deciding what to buy and how much to eat.

Thus, the initial imperative for this book: to sort out and size up the true peril in food. To see if addiction is the best way to think about our trouble with food and eating, given what we’ve learned from other substances and habits. And to peer inside the processed food industry to see how it is dealing with what, in its view, would be a monumental threat to the power it holds over us.

Everyone knows how hard it can be to maintain a healthy diet. But what if some of the decisions we make about what to eat are beyond our control? Is it possible that food is addictive, like drugs or alcohol? And to what extent does the food industry know, or care, about these vulnerabilities? In Hooked, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss sets out to answer these questions - and to find the true peril in our food.

Moss uses the latest research on addiction to uncover what the scientific and medical communities - as well as food manufacturers - already know: that food, in some cases, is even more addictive than alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs.

Our bodies are hardwired for sweets, so food giants have developed fifty-six types of sugar to add to their products, creating in us the expectation that everything should be cloying; we’ve evolved to prefer fast, convenient meals, hence our modern-day preference for ready-to-eat foods. Moss goes on to show how the processed food industry - including major companies like Nestlé, Mars, and Kellogg’s - has tried not only to evade this troubling discovery about the addictiveness of food but to actually exploit it.

For instance, in response to recent dieting trends, food manufacturers have simply turned junk food into junk diets, filling grocery stores with “diet” foods that are hardly distinguishable from the products that got us into trouble in the first place. As obesity rates continue to climb, manufacturers are now claiming to add ingredients that can effortlessly cure our compulsive eating habits.

A gripping account of the legal battles, insidious marketing campaigns, and cutting-edge food science that have brought us to our current public health crisis, Hooked lays out all that the food industry is doing to exploit and deepen our addictions, and shows us why what we eat has never mattered more.

i would like to stop obsessing about the dumb thing where i was scolded a little for being distracted but its a tangible single thing my brainworms can latch onto instead of the many many other shit things in the background that are objectively way worse or scarier

I went to the fair with my best friend and as we looked around I realized it was high time I right a festival fic. And I knew I wanted one of these two win the giant silly plushy for the other and the other wins a cutesy little plushy for them (not exactly in that order) but couldn’t decide which.
