Reading ACD/Granada/Victorian era Holmes and Watson fics and getting to the part where they call each other by their first names … ok. … ok it’s literally just their names and yet it makes me

The Scooby gang are friends. The Scooby gang are BEST FRIENDS. THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. THEY TRAVEL AROUND SOLVING MYSTERIES FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PASSION FOR IT AND BECAUSE IT MEANS THEY GET TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER WITH EACH OTHER. THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS.

…. You’re telling me Dr. John Watson started publishing his stories about Sherlock Holmes in the year 1887 (Or is it 1881 the year they met so Watson can give Holmes the credit he insisted he deserved for solving the study in scarlet. Timelines I swear…). And Holmes fakes his death and is presumed dead by everyone, especially by Watson, on May 4, 1891 (135 year anniversary today btw!), and so there’s a point that one or several of the stories that have been written so far up until the Final Problem - to put it in a way I read about that made me tear up - were one long eulogy from Watson about Holmes… and they aren’t reunited canonically until 1894.

The cutscene in KH1 of Sora, Riku, and Kairi racing on the island does a great job of informing you of their characters. There’s the obvious that is pointed out a lot, Kairi being left behind, unable to keep up with them. However, she suggested the race, and Kairi does her best, laughing the whole way. She’s happy the way things are. Sora immediately runs, he has no qualms racing his friends. Then there’s Riku, who lowkey scoffs at the notion of a race but still takes it seriously and ends up in the lead, with Sora being able to just keep up with him. The next shot, Sora is ahead of him, and then Riku catches up. Sora and Riku are constantly switching places with who is in the lead, neck and neck with each other. Another thing to note is that while Sora is focused on the horizon, looking straight ahead at the goal, Riku is instead looking at Sora, his head turned towards him. Even when the camera goes to shift above all three of them, right before showing the title, Riku is still looking at Sora

Fellow linked universe fans.. I am brand new here (as well as a brand new legend of zelda fan, as the only experience I had with LOZ really was the Nintendo Land mini games on the Wii U), please please share with me your favorite fics. It’s been almost a week since I stumbled in here and have like 6-7 pages of fanfic i have saved on ao3 that i’ve read through but I’d love some recommendations if you don’t mind 🥺

Thinking about Sora stocking up on potions and rings and earrings to stay alive in KH1 and not knowing if it’ll be enough to get him through a fight. Multiple fights. Thinking about KH1 Sora literally having a panic button (press triangle) to call for Donald and Goofy for if he needed help/felt overwhelmed. Means they worked out a system- of course they did, cause Goofy taught Sora how to dodge roll and Donald taught him to how to cast fire, before all three of them left Traverse Town for the first time. Thinking about how that option doesn’t exist after KH1, from what I’ve seen. Could be because Sora grew up too fast/grew skilled enough that it wasn’t necessary anymore. He’s got summons. He got keychains. He’s got Strength, Magic, and AP Ups. He’s leveled up. But it could also be because after KH1, Sora has experienced being abandoned, left defenseless and on his own when he wasn’t seen as useful or chosen. He doesn’t think he can really call on them to protect him like that anymore. Maybe he doesn’t even realize that he’s thinking that. Maybe he does. Does Sora ever look at the stock of his supplies, so plentiful, made up of the dropped loot picked up by a desperate boy fighting to live another day. The keyblade and destiny didn’t pick him but he answered the call all the same. He must be tired.
