“I cannot accustom myself to the idea that I will never see him again. I am in despair. Adieu. For me life has no more charm, all is finished. I embrace you.”
— Pauline Bonaparte on the death of her brother, Napoleon. In a letter to Hortense de Beauharnais.

wanted to wait until I had more TH profiles finished but got too excited... this pair of freaks is brought to you by the extremely talented @xamag-draws
Gives off the 'Plug a little weird, but he chill' vibe
Probably smarter than you and makes you feel a little inferior
He doesn't do it on purpose, but if there's something you don't understand but he does, it frustrates him
Sometimes he takes his anger out on you, but he always apologizes after. He doesn't mean to get violent or have outbursts. He just has these intense emotions and sometimes they're so hard to control
He's eccentric and spontaneous
If you want to do something, he's your guy
He doesn't care what you do, he just wants to have fun
You want to go cliff diving? Hell yeah
Want to go get something to eat at 2 in the morning? Yeah, he's a little hungry too
He's a pretty chill guy, when he's not experiencing his emotions, and is okay with anything pretty much
Especially if it involves you
He really cares about you and he is pretty shy about those feelings. Might not straight up say 'I love you' but there are little signs
He loves having days where it's just the two of you. Together
He wishes he could freeze those moments forever and just stay with you
The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax, Part 2 of 3
It's very rude, and I kind of feel bad for basically saying the same thing about Watson earlier. This case is definitely more jarring compared to the ending of The Three Garridebs, where it was all nice and loving.
There are so many characters in these stories where it's just some guy who met a woman a long time ago and has never stopped loving her and is now back in her life, either on purpose or by happenstance. I assume it was a popular trope back then or something.
Hey, I was correct about the ear! Anyway, the fact that Dr. Shlessinger/Holy Peters frequently preys on lonely women for their riches makes him sort of a unique villain. Not to say that Holmes hasn't faced people before who have preyed on women, but here it's apparently this guy's whole modus operandi. He's known for it.
I'm assuming this was a reference people would have gotten in the time and not just some flavor to round out Philip Green's backstory.
I sincerely hope the strange questionings of why they're having a funeral for their victim leads somehow to Lady Frances actually being alive at the end. I don't see how that could be, but I can hope.
While at The Depot, Fraser often wondered why his fellow cadets seemed to be obsessed with female breasts. They would often pass around pornographic magazines; he never looked at them because women were more than breasts.
Years later, he was in Chicago. He, Ray, Dief and Spike The Turtle were at the park. He and Spike watched as Ray and Dief ran around. Ray came over and flopped down on their picnic blanket on the grass, he kicked off his boots and wiggled his toes.
Fraser still didn’t see the appeal of female breasts, but he liked Ray’s bare feet.
