I've seen this clip many times, but never really appreciated the power of "what was her problem?" Just casually assuming that lesbians come in a wide variety of shapes and being inclusive. As a transbian who is probably still closer to Homer shaped than to my ideal, that's huge!

You know the Paul brothers were so controversial around 2016-2017 that I get nostalgic once in a while and decide to see what they’re up to lately. And the answer is almost always that they’re doing some kind of elaborate scam.

Logan Paul is trying to make like graded mint condition manga a thing I guess. Which is stupid because once it’s encased in the protective plastic it’s just a brick. You can’t read that. Anyone who knows the purpose of books thinks that this is stupid but you just know that some scalper with money and zero brain cells is buying up every worthless shonen jump he can find right now

i can handle one (1) Event™ per day. whether it be a phone call, an appointment, trip to the grocery store, play date with a friend, etc. only one, that's it. any more than that and i am Stressed

I used to think that it was kind of strange, bordering on unrealistic how, in the Persona series, you only get a single day and night action, and then you have to go to sleep and do things the next day of thats even possible. I would find myself thinking, does it really take 4 hours to go eat a burger? Or another 5 to go to a bookstore or something with someone you know? And then i actually started doing those things... and i did infiact realize why they are like that. Doing one thing for a long period is easier then rushing around trying to accomplish 3 different things in the same day. That might just be a me issue, but judging from this post, im not entirely alone, which is nice.

phone somehow autocorrected "the joker" to "the worker." why so devoid of class consciousness, batman

This is literally why we need bike lanes

The pedestrians ignoring the bike bell are on the bike lanes.

“touch of the ‘tism” = punishable offense

I actually completely agree with this and not even as a joke. Terms like "neurospicy" make me want to fold up into a little ball and implode on myself. Just be autistic. Be yourself. Don't do anything you don't want to do. And most of all, don't go out of your way to make yourself more palatable for people. The best version of you is the you that's most natural, comfortable, and true to yourself.

they should invent a body that feels normal to be inside of

Mech suits

brought nothing to the gun fight. whatever man

Honestly not even sure why I decided to come to the gun fight at all

i hate the word spicy can we bring back calling things erotic

rolling up to Wendy's to get an erotic chicken sandwich

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

the thing about phone in bed is that it's so awesome. almost makes you feel like betraying & destroying yourself for nothing isn't all so bad

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

don't be mean to yourself that's you

you live there

The way that most of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories’ most horrible villains are rich dudes that are abusive to women, in a time such as the 1880’s, compels me.

There’s a whole subset of Sherlock Holmes stories that could be labeled Asshole Guys Try to Control Women’s Money.

Yup, there’s a huge number of times where Sherlock Holmes is the ONLY person to take a young woman’s complaint or worry seriously and finds out someone is up to some serious evil.  Holmes also shows a lot of compassion and empathy with the victims over and over again.  (This is why I find “Secretly a woman” or “Trans” Holmes headcanons much more convincing than “sociopath” Holmes.)

This is also the basis for a lot of speculation about Holmes’ family life.  The idea that he has been a victim of abuse, or his mother was abused (or even murdered by his father.)  There’s definitely SOMETHING that makes him very aware of how dangerous isolated families can be, and the dark things that can happen behind closed doors.  Plus, of course, the motivation to devote himself to stopping crime.  And yes, so much of it is of the personal type. 

dude see this is one aspect of the original books i NEVER understand why modern remakes (cough cough) don’t go all in on. Like, in the 21th c we HAVE all the dumb forensic shit that made Victorian Holmes stand out, but we STILL DON’T HAVE uh….you know, compassion for women and minorities, or the willingness to believe them, adequate community support for domestic violence or hate crimes, etc. etc. which you’d think is exactly where a renegade consulting detective would come in handy. A good modern day Sherlock Holmes remake, instead of trying to convince us that Holmes is some super genius for being better than fingerprint analysis or whatever, could have him just be…a good person who helps out people the police can’t and won’t help. There you go. That’s how to write a relevant modern Holmes.

One thing that annoys me is how much the BBC version of Sherlock (and the fandom around it) focus on police cases or cold cases.  In the stories, Holmes’ bread and butter cases had fuck-all to do with the police and in a few stories, he actively works around/against them, or outright lies to them.  Of the many, many things I wish that show had done differently, this is one is particularly obnoxious since it’s such a gimme.

#my favorite murder in holmes canon#is when they straight up witness a lady murder her blackmailer#do nothing except destroy his other blackmail material#and then straight up lie to lestrade about it#sherlock holmes#more of this in modern adaptations pls (via @cactusspatz )

Let’s not forget the time Holmes helps a young woman who’s being catfished by her own stepfather to steal her inheritance, and when the villain sneers that the law can’t touch him, Holmes grabs a horsewhip out of sheerest chivalry.

So, the most canon-accurate iteration of Sherlock Holmes in the last few decades is actually Benoit Blanc….

So yes, Benoit Blanc is the best modern Sherlock.

this website is so weird

I love this so much
