“Survivors look back and see omens, messages they missed. They remember the tree that died, the gull that splattered onto the hood of the car. They live by symbols. They read meaning into the barrage of spam on the unused computer, the delete key that stops working, the imagined abandonment in the decision to replace it.”

We as a society will never get over “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” and that’s beautiful.

Mr Darcy: “My future wife must be elegant and articulate and demuring and beautiful and intelligent and respectful of her station and have the perfect countance for being the lady of the house and be an accomplished woman and-”

So we’re all agreed, the most important part of that episode was Mycroft with his feet up on his desk.

that and his tragic kitchen

A properly raised and socialized Dad will be perfectly comfortable cohabiting with Lesbians. Its not really “encroaching on another’s territory”. You wouldn’t say that about foxes in a forest that also homes bobcats, would you? No. It’s just two different species that have both evolved to live in similar/the same environment. As long as they recognize each other as equals, Dads and Lesbians are more than capable of cohabitation.

As a former timber-harvester… I feel this is potentially accurate in theory. But highly improbable in actuality.

Most of the above are native to craft and hobby stores (art students, historically, are native to museums, but having been introduced to hobby stores, have found a niche for themselves and thrived), but all can be seen in hardware stores on occasion due to territorial overlap. They are generally low-impact, as they tend to stick to specific small areas and primarily utilize different resources. While a large group of any of them can be disruptive (art students, in particular, are known to travel in packs), in general, they are more likely to have territorial disputes with one another than with the local fauna. 

I can say as a former craft store worker that if you wish to see true fear, look into the eyes of a Dad who must venture into a craft store. Despite the overlap of familiar beings known to him from his native hardware store habitat, Dads are instinctively aware that craft stores are not for them; they contain unfamiliar perils and even the seemingly familiar may have strange variances and unnerving secrets. (”Why is this airbrush so small? What do you mean nails, why would you… WUT!!”)

The idea of inherent enmity between Knitters and Crocheters is a common misconception, but much like hierarchical wolf pack dynamics, hostility between these subspecies seems to occur only in captivity or under unusual stresses.

Cosplayers are a highly adaptive and wide ranging subspecies, spanning across craft stores, hardware stores, and art supply stores in their search for the correct resources. It is thought they may be an off shoot of craft ladies adapted for a wider range, or the result of crosses between hardware store lesbians and craft ladies.
