A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.

I'm reading about the Victorian Aesthetic movement and I was violently reminded of...

...Sherlock Holmes's 'rose monologue' from The Naval Treaty, HI HELLO CAN ANYONE HEAR ME

Mixed signals.

when you’re out at a restaurant or a coffee shop or a target or whatever with your friends and you overhear/eavesdrop the same snippet of some stranger’s conversation, and you look at each other for a second to check that you both heard this stranger say the same weird/funny/baffling thing and just break out in knowing grins and quiet laughter… that’s a love language

The idea of Sherlock Holmes, the bachelor man, the famous detective, the "calculating machine", thinking of every young girl as his daughter makes me want to sob in my bed for days

Comics for THE NAVAL TREATY, which is one of my favorite short stories because I like the mystery and find Percy “Tadpole” Phelps to be very funny. featuring: Watson secret bitch backstory reveal, Holmes attempting poetry, and an adaptation of this Paget illustration:

A whole wealth of comics for THE CROOKED MAN and some of them are even funny! I mean, one is about the most inscrutable man in the world trying desperately to be understood but. There’s also Watson waxing rhapsodic about a mongoose (canon)

Oh, you know, just thinking about them:

And them:

Even them (just finished rereading all of ACD canon using the new annotated version):

Revisiting my love of these Victorian boyfriends/husbands/domestic partners/soulmates has helped me so much through these past few months 💖

Continuing on (slowly) to discover the other Holmes/Watson duos I haven't properly watched/listened to yet...

Wait???

Watson literally traveled NEARLY SIX HUNDRED MILES IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS just to see Holmes and make sure he was okay.
