But. Why. Is. The Irene dimension. A CHURCH for IRENE HERSELF???

Irene is literally the only person who goes to there so why have a million seats in the chapel dedicated to yourself??

The ideas I currently thought of areee:

Irene found places like that quite soothing as they were typically quiet since everyone was busy praying to her

The dimension was at one time an actual church to Irene before she sent it to this dimension (that wouldn't have any negative consequences. None once so ever.)

Irene is egoistical.

Similarly to Aphmau praying to Irene in MCD season 1, Irene would sometimes pray to a stronger version of herself while in her dimension. Since the world idolized her so much, the strong and stoic persona she became for them started to seem separate from herself who couldn't even keep her love life together and so she prayed to it, like those around her did when they felt weak. She prays to the concept of Irene. (Why yes! I do have a favorite headcanon!)

She needed a place with strong ties to magicks or something to make a dimension, where was better than a church where people would worship and pray to a god-like lady

It looks cool

Placements Who Are Most Likely to Experience a Chill Kill

Chill kill -  the term refers to a situation or person that disrupts a state of peace or silence, even though that disruption is ultimately missed.

Pisces 4th house (Sag rising) - Pisces is a sign about the unknown and not seeing clearly. It's about dreams and being up in the clouds. but being in a house that is so established and has to do with family, living situation, and the place you come from, could cause confusion or major change in the household. I have a sag rising and when I was in 8th grade, my parents completely uprooted our household to move North, for no reason at all. this rising can give you a disoriented home life and parents who probably are good for each other.

Scorpio 4th house (Leo rising) - Scorpio is a sign about transformation, it's after Libra which starts darkness and Scorpio is pitch black. You could have moved or had really bad living conditions. maybe abuse or just parents who might have not been that good together. A mother that's a little dark but probably still loves you.

Aries 4th house (Cap rising) - Aries is a rapid fast-moving sign so you could have moved a lot or the neighbor hood you lived in what either very child friendly or really not.

Neptune in the 1st or 4th house - Neptune is Pisces' modern ruler so the themes of Pisces transfer here too. in the 1st, the person could have been confused and not know who they really are. in the 4th, your household could have been very scattered and no real structure and this affected you because when children have no structure you grow into adults with no structure and live their lives confused.

Mars in the 4th house - Mars is an independent planet and can lead to dysfunction and violence in the house.

Pluto 1st or 4th house - Pluto is Scorpio's modern ruler and it also has to do with rebirth and transformation. You could go through internal struggles and people not liking you and going through rebirth if its in the 1st house. in the 4th, there's dysfunction in the household and transformations in the home.

Jupiter 4th house - Pisces traditional ruler and has to do with expansion so you could have been born into wealth or come into wealth. Could have lived in a lot of houses.

i feel like the tumblr perverts need to be aware of the forcefem novel written in 1901 by a trans woman patient of magnus hirschfeld, wherein:

a lesbian hypnotises her girly stepson into believing he is a woman

then she hypnotises his father her husband into shooting himself when he tries to stop her

then she proceeds to live as a man and convince her stepson that he is HER WIFE

AND THEN WHEN THE COUPLE WANT KIDS (AS SHE HYPNOTISED HIM TO) SHE HAS HIS CHILD AND CONVINCES HIM THAT HE GAVE BIRTH TO IT

AND DECIDES TO RAISE THE BABY AS A GIRL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BORN MALE

AND THEN FINALLY ON HER DEATHBED CONFESSES EVERYTHING TO HER WIFE

WHO REFUSES TO BELIEVE ANY OF IT

the author's pen name is luz fraumann (yes she actually named herself "woman-man") and i wish i could tell her she's literally insane for this bestie and also how hard she would do numbers on tumblr dot com

(link to hirschfeld's profile of fraumann and extract from her novel, in german)

In an interview, Craig Sweeny, the creator of Watson said that Irene Adler was canonically Holmes’ only lover

False. They were never lovers.

She was The Woman because she outwitted him.

(Twice really. Not only did she replace the photograph, but she and her husband fled London without his notice. And she even wished him "good night" before she left and Holmes didn't realize/notice until she informed him via letter.)

And, while Irene is the only woman to have outwitted Holmes, she is not the only one to have impressed him with her intelligence (see: Violet Hunter).

(Honestly, Violet is the one Watson speculates Holmes might be attracted to and is disappointed later when he isn't).

Anyway. I feel sorry for Irene Norton née Adler. She married a man she loved, but everyone groups her with a man she had no interest in. (The "my dear" and "very truly yours" feel more like taunts or teases than any kind of affection; like, we do understand what sarcasm is, yes?)

(Also, can we talk about how Irene canonically crossdresses frequently and enjoys the freedom it grants her in public?)

Astrology Observations - Fire Sign Edition

The 2 types of Sagittarius I know are the super outgoing, friendly, life of the party, but very spiritual or religious, or the Sag that's a little clingy and loud.

The 2 types of Leo are the super self-centered pretty and low-key annoyingly perfect Leo or the really talented and understated Leo who lets their skills speak for themselves but they still like to brag tho.

The 2 types of Aries are the loud energetic and fun Aries who are kinda ignorant and don't really listen sometimes and the Aries who are more reserved. They are just like the first type but only really express that side with people they know.

Sags really like new and foreign things. My friend is a Sag and she really loves Asian pop and dramas. I'm a Sag rising and I really love K-pop, specifically RV. Like Nicki said, "What's good Korea?"

Leos are very loyal and if you don't think so, its most likely that Leo just isn't loyal to you. when a Leo loves and trusts you, you are locked in. They are very prideful but if you are worth it, they'll put their pride aside.

I really love how Aries are able to express themselves and stand up for themselves but they could be a little divaish. For example when Irene was yelling at that one stylist who kept putting the girls in tight outfits but I think she was also criticized for being rude to other employees, not sure tho.

Leos are actually really private but they still love being out there. they don't want people knowing all of their business but they might give them little tidbits. For example, Whitney Houston.

Sags are so unserious sometimes, they are really funny and likeable. For example Nicki Minaj. She has so many famous and funny quotes.

Leos are really talented. They are always really good at something artistic. My sister is a Leo and she's really good at doing hair and things like that. Whitney Houston is a Leo and she's probably the best singer ever.

More Irene but now little less messy and little less biblically accurate

Some Queen's Thief bullshit

The fact that only Irene ever remarks on the scent Nahuseresh's beard oil*, and more importantly, calls it cheap, has always been of interest for me, because it feels so out of character for Nahuseresh to save money on this one thing he clearly cares about. The fact that neither Gen nor Kamet ever remark on it either also gets me all in my

thoughts.

Anyway, there are many possible explanations. Kamet repeats so often that Attolia stinks, that one might think the olfactory landscape of each country is just different enough to produce two very different standards. Maybe coastal Attolians like the salty breeze and Kamet, city boy extreme, thinks it smells like fish; maybe Nahuseresh's scented oil is in the same position...& maybe Gen has a cosmopolitan nose, and appreciates it all?

You can go a little more psychological if you want. Nahuseresh's scented oil triggers for Irene the memory of that amphora she broke as a child; she goes on to say that after that she became the Heir, and was given more expensive scented oils to use. Maybe Nahuseresh's scented beard oil is too close to the cheaper scent she associates so strongly with that symbolic, troubling memory...

CHEAP though! My actual favorite theory is a little simpler: his beard oil has a scent that is rare and precious in the court of Ianna-Ir... but rather commonplace in Attolia :o He notes nobody in court is wearing that fragrance and doubles down thinking he's so exclusive and posh....in an AU where Nahuseresh secures power in Attolia, he becomes very rich very fast by exporting it...

*Sophos makes a similar complaint to Eddis about Akretenesh's oil scent, so everything in this post could apply to him as well
