Your squeesplosions are one of the many reasons I adore you so :)
You don't have to go trying to convince yourself you're straight and kicking Raffles out of bed, forcing him to go chase ladytypes, making him try to seduce you back by leaning over you in his bunk and planning NAKED HEISTS, for heaven's sake
I know, right? Sometimes these stories just absolutely boggle me with how blatant they are. The naked heist! "Climb into my bunk"! The fact that Bunny keeps obliquely referring to things that could only be taken in a "my-somewhat-illicit-relationship-with-Raffles" way!
oh, our poor, poor little rabbit!
No kidding! I've counted three times in how far I've gotten that he's thought Raffles was dead. Good heavens, the poor thing. He hasn't got half Watson's fortitude and just once was damaging enough for him.
Possibly I did get a bit carried away there, yes.
*hugs the stuffin's out of you! Only doesn't really because that wouldn't be nice*
Bunny breaks it between the lines.
YES. That's a really good point. Buh, poor little rabbit.
(I think a good 42.5% of my love for this fandom may be the sheer adorability of having a narrator named "Bunny" and the many possibilities for calling him by still more adorable nicknames.)
<3! And it's not like Raffles doesn't encourage you! With his "poor old Bunny," and "Bunny - my Bunny!" and "my poor/dear/etc. rabbit" all the time!
Raffles is much healthier, really, but it makes him less deep, less believable, less human, and less admirable.
YES. Head of nail, meet hammer. When he does the kind of bad things to Bunny that Holmes does to Watson it reflects less on any damage to his psyche. Which is to say, you know Holmes is doing it because of his own emotional problems, and you don't see that as clearly with Raffles.
Bunny is brave and loyal and sweet, but he doesn't have that absolute, unfathomable nobility that's the cornerstone of Watson's personality.
So very, very true. Ah, you get Watson so well that it makes my little heart happy!
I love that Bunny's last name is Manders, because thence commeth the verb "bunnymandering." I haven't decided what it means yet, but it NEEDS to happen.
EEEEEEEEEE XD My first thought is that "bunnymandering" would be to follow after someone with mingled adoration and anxiety for the outcome of whatever escapade they were undertaking. It need not be said that you should win some sort of prize for coming upon this idea.
