Hello all. I have come to a wonderful and terrible realization.
Q!Badboyhalo. Vaguely established to be c!badboyhalo as well. Currently visiting a desert that is seemingly the afterlife, a blank slate of sand, whenever he sleeps and suffering from memory loss. Seemingly about to die and reset, starting anew and having to figure out who he was supposed to be in this grand life of his.
One could say he's lived too long, from certain perspectives.
Friends I have potentially bad news about the canon status of Utah in the QSMP

What a lovely thing a rose is!
I've been staring at the Naval Treaty email schedule going "are we there yet?" since Wednesday, and we're HERE!
I know the standard argument is that he was looking for A Clue over near the vase of flowers - do you believe it for a second? I don't. That might have required walking over to the vase. It did not require a short monologue on the goodness of God followed by completely losing touch with the fact there were other people in the room.
He walked past the couch to the open window, and held up the drooping stalk of a moss-rose, looking down at the dainty blend of crimson and green. It was a new phase of his character to me, for I had never before seen him show any keen interest in natural objects.
“There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion,” said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. “It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
From a 'Holmes as queer' perspective, independently from the Holmes/Watson perspective, it's probably my favourite paragraph in the book. I'm not gonna pretend to be very educated about queer thought in the 1890s, I'm just extremely gay and think that 'Isn't it nice that my heart can find this beautiful, even though that feeling serves no purpose for the continuation of the human species?' might mean something. And that he believes it's a gift from God. Given the place and time he's living in, I think that's incredibly powerful.
Oh yeah and I found a floriography dictionary.

writing long ass letters to hometown friends now we’ve all moved away and not getting a reply breaks my heart. i really weave my love into them. it’s in the art i make, the postcards i buy, the pamphlets i collect. i’m thinking of my friends constantly.
i long to be thought of.
