out of curiosity, does everyone have a certain type of character they get attached to or are urs random
I spent a solid week trying to figure out what Lucretia Adventurezone and Stede Bonnet had in common. (there’s some earlier obsessions that are probably worth examining at some point)
And y'all the moment when I hit on “strong sense of responsibility” and “doesn’t think that other people will listen to them”
Whew.
(on a less “and then I talked to my therapist about it” note, I do appreciate a weird sense of humor and a dramatic sense of style)
I KNOW I do. In HS it was the sexy bishonen type (Kurama, Yuki, etc) and now I think it’s evolved to where I love, like… exasperated characters. The straight man (who’s never straight, not always a man) who puts up with shenanigans.
Also tragic backstory and self-hate. That seems to be a theme. Hm.
The Irreverent Joys of a Japanese Sherlock Holmes
The Irreverent Joys of a Japanese Sherlock Holmes
HBO’s new take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective sees two young women solving crimes in present-day Japan.
Miss Sherlock is a new adaptation of a much-reprised tale. You might recognize Tachibana’s Syria story as an update to Dr. Watson’s return from the Second Anglo-Afghan War. 221B is, of course, an address in Baker Street, in London. The strange young woman’s name is Sherlock. A great deal more is recognizable as original Arthur Conan Doyle material, but tweaked: Sherlock, played by Yūko Takeuchi, is slender and eerie and brilliant, but unmistakably female. She plays the cello, instead of the traditional violin. Tachibana (Shihori Kanjiya) is the straight man in the relationship. Listen closely, and you’ll hear her referred to as Wato-san—her first name, plus an honorific.
So, we have our Sherlock and our Watson, two attractive young women solving crimes in contemporary Tokyo. In these facts alone Miss Sherlock injects Holmes’s old white corpse with new energy.
Shows like Elementary and Sherlock have brought Conan Doyle’s hero back to our screens over the past few years. Elementary even had one woman in a starring role. But two? Miss Sherlock has crossed a rubicon.

Dear straight guys,
You must understand it is natural for us to find you attractive. We all have types and for some of us that is you. What you don’t know is how willing many gays are to serve you in any way that you wish. Getting close to a gay will often result in sex and oral on tap as and when you want it. Gays know how to pleasure a man as they are one themselves allowing them to give better oral than any woman ever could.
This means that you can have the best sex/oral of your life and free reign to explore your kinks that you would be to embarrassed to share with a woman as well as the freedom to see girls at the same time as there are no strings attached.
So take it from me, use this power that you have as a straight man by teasing and having fun with gays because it’s your unattainability that turns us on more allowing you to exploit us as your sex slave.
Yours sincerely
The gay community
