“…What can I do, Holmes? Of course, it was that damned fellow who set them on. I'll go and thrash the hide off him if you give the word.” - The Illustrious Client “You are right,” he cried with an immense sigh of relief. “It is quite superficial.” His face set like flint as he glared at our prisoner, who was sitting up with a dazed face. “By the Lord, it is as well for you. If you had killed Watson, you would not have got out of this room alive." - The Three Garridebs

hey. do whatever you want btw. it’s your identity. kiss people for fun. enjoy sex. nobody’s stopping you. being aro and/or ace doesn’t mean you have to be repulsed by romantic or sexual activities if you don’t want to.
and also! things only mean what you meant them to mean. you can have platonic sex and platonically make out with your friends. it’s true. just be sure to communicate so that everyone involved understands and you’re good.
"No More Hotels"
Graffiti seen around Aruba in the Caribbean, denouncing the overconstruction of hotels and the extreme land loss the Indigenous people of the Island are facing.
I often think about Holmes learning not to cry in his youth by pouring all that pent up fury, anguish, and despair that the world was not made for boys like him into his violin.
How long did it take Watson to realize that the occasional haunting notes drifting up to his room at night between recognizable tunes were tears.
Found a rare candid photo of Eddie Munson
Please stop comparing your body to Chris Hemsworth and the like. That is an extreme example of a lifestyle where an individual not only has the time to work out four hours a day, but also has a personal trainer and enough money to fuel an extreme diet tailored to their body type. It’s unattainable for most people. If you ever want to see what sustainable, healthy, strong, attainable bodies look like for men, I suggest you look at stars and heartthrobs from the sixties and seventies, when no one contoured or surgically tightened their abs. Where animation wasn’t used to beef up super heroes, and stars didn’t have to spend several hours every day working out, they were allowed to be healthy and strong without extreme methods. Here’s some examples!
Davy Jones was a young heartthrob in the 1960s, he was quite the lady killer and as we’ve seen was able to do some impressive yoga moves and such. He had a strong healthy body without the pressure to be “shredded.”
Sean Cassidy was a singer and actor in the 1970s who swooned fans of all ages. He’s a skinnier guy, but toned. His body is an attainable example of a skinny buff.
Bobby Sherman was a star and heartthrob in the 1960s, quite the handsome guy and a good middle weight example.
Hollywood and peoples’ standards seemed to have changed now, and you may feel compelled to slave over a perfectly chiseled Greek body with washboard abs and heart shaped shoulders, however the fans and others have shown that you don’t have to have an unreasonably defined body to be seen as hot and impressive. Here’s some examples from recent TV!
First up Joe Keery. He’s a popular choice for young and old fans of Stranger Things, he said that he didn’t have too much of a set workout routine, just lived a healthy active life, but that hasn’t stopped the fans thirsting after him.
Christian Kane, while this is not his most flattering photo since he’s in the middle of a boxing match on the show, is an extremely attractive man with a strong and powerful body.
Cooper Barns is a comedic star who plays a super hero, and has the body match. However, he is encouraged to have a sustainable diet and exercise routine to eat what he likes as well as doesn’t overclock the hours in the gym.
Now that you’ve seen some examples of strong, healthy bodies, you may have a better idea of what to strive for with your own goals, since these photos and bodies weren’t done with makeup, surgery, or editing touch up.
In media, examples of unhealthy and toxic images crop up everywhere, influencing our idea of a strong, healthy body and what is considered attractive. I encourage you to look to more realistic and unstaged photos (as in not a photo shoot) for better examples of what to strive for.
Times: Which of the Monkees are you closest to?
Tork: It’s different with each. Micky’s the best pal, but my heart connection is biggest with Davy. Davy is capable of as much heart as anyone I’ve ever met. I kind of had a crush on Davy for a while.
I’ve often said I loved, liked, and respected each of the other three Monkees in different proportions. What I don’t often say is that I loved David the most. - Peter Tork
