And my manager was like no!!!! If that happened, I would drive to find you guys in my truck and we could eat stuff from my wife's garden and I would make sure everyone I know survived!! I would carry you all on my shoulders away from the zombies!!

The idea that societal collapse exposes mankind’s true nature ignores one thing: society IS mankind. We make it, just by being around each other. Social mores and customs aren’t arbitrary rules inflicted on us by some unseen force, they’re our own behaviors and views. We say please and thank you because we want to be kind. We establish charities because we want to help others. We set up garbage cans because we want to be clean. We’re the ones setting the standards and frowning at the people who don’t rise to meet them. We’re the ones who are appalled by the cruelties in our history.

The problem with nearly every post-apocalypse story is that they take the worst behavior of people during a riot or a natural disaster, extrapolate it to all of humanity, and assume that situation never changes. But even the worst disasters end. Hurricane Katrina looters aren't still looting. And there were far more people helping than looting.

Common Reactions: Nausea, dry mouth, mild existential dread, and forgetting exactly why you walked into the room.

Non-Traditional Reactions: Sudden vampirism, masochism, transient telepathy, or ancient forms of leprosy.

I tell you, my friend, that if a detailed account of that silent contest could be written, it would take its place as the most brilliant bit of thrust-and-parry work in the history of detection. Never have I risen to such a height, and never have I been so hard pressed by an opponent. He cut deep, and yet I just undercut him. — The Final Problem

idk if someone's pointed this out before but... we all know the scene in the first episode of ys where sherlock comes barging into james's bedroom, and he already knows where it is

yeah so did anybody else notice that he comes in wearing a navy blue jacket, takes the jacket off, THEN PICKS UP HIS STRIPED ONE THAT'S LYING ON JAMES BEDFRAME AND PUTS IT ON? THE JACKET HE WAS WEARING EARLIER??????
