Conclave (2024)

You are bigger than what is making you sad.

I am the eldest daughter, which is to say that I am a sponge that absorbs all the trauma of the household. Life is spilt milk and I am a kitchen cloth burnt at the edges. I am falling apart at the corners, threads coming away, rips and ripples like I am torn and trembling in an ocean of nothingness. I am the eldest daughter, which is to say that I emphasize with everyone. The love of my life marries someone else, and I find myself hoping that he loves her the same. My brother wishes death upon me and I toss and turn in my sleep over the tears I saw in his eyes. Life is an accidental fire and I am water. I attempt to stop a tragedy I did not start, to go blindly into a catastrophe that I cannot halt. I am the eldest daughter, which is to say that I am silent in my needs. My father asks me what I'd like to eat and I say that I am not hungry. I will chew on my guilt and swallow my pride before I even think of asking for anything. I buy myself a sweet and nothing tastes as bitter as it. Life is a metaphor for debt and I am drowning in the desire to be as insignificant as possible. I demand nothing and nothing demands me.

Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.

Eternal Sunshine AU || Sherlock finds out that John ‘erased’ him from his memory with a new controversial procedure at Baskerville after ending their relationship. Betrayed and angry, Sherlock retaliates by undergoing the same procedure, in order to forget John. But as he begins to loose each precious memory that he and John had with one another… Sherlock immediately regrets his decision.

Looking over to Sherlock, she sighed. “You were not supposed to see this. I’m terribly sorry, and I do apologize.” Her voice seemed to give off the impression she was anything but sorry. Rather, inconvenienced.

“I want to do it.” Sherlock repeated darkly. “John erased me for a reason, and if I can’t know WHY… then I want to forget him in turn.”

Stapleton furrowed her brow, setting the telegram down, “Our files are confidential Mister Holmes… so we can’t show you any statements or consultation records.” She paused, looking back up toward Sherlock. “Suffice it to say, Doctor Watson was… not happy, and he wanted to move on. We provided that possibility. I told him once that anything was possible here. I guess he lucked out; erasing someone or something from a person’s memory is surprisingly simple.” Stapleton explained. “Given the circumstances of this particular situation… I would be willing to perform the procedure on you. If you’re sure, that is.” She clarified. “It’s still considered experimental, but then again, almost everything we do here is.” She mused.
