A Faint Taste of Bitter Almonds


"I should one day like to show in my work what such an eccentric - such a nobody - has in his heart."


I enjoy the violin, writing, and forensic science. I still want to live in a charmingly cluttered flat with ugly vintage wallpaper a dubious shade of brown, with my violin Benedict, my guitars Sherlock and Harry Darren-Criss, and many, many books, as well as enough tea to sustain my mortal soul.

Mainly Sherlock Holmes, Community, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Tintin, and old British comedy, but for a full list go here. For my categorical tags, go here.

A Slytherin, with Ravenclaw tendencies. I spam a lot of Vincent van Gogh.

Gosh I just really love old photographs where the people are being silly. It’s so charming, so real.
