Musings, and other such things

i think they should put doctor who in the public domain and let us all start taking cracks at it on youtube

remember in star trek beyond when spock gives uhura a necklace that's secretly a tracking device. that is rocky and grace 1,000,000%. grace is like wow thank you for this beautiful bracelet you made me my best friend rocky and rocky's like yes beautiful bracelet put it on now and wear it forever lovely jewel encrusted xenonite bracelet that is definitely not transmitting your vital signs and exact location at all hours to my texture monitor. except he says all that out loud and grace says uh what.

sometimes you have to sit down and decide "do i think this was a bad narrative choice or is this just the part of my brain that wants to see all my favorite characters end the story perfectly happy and thriving." and its surprisingly hard to tell sometimes because that part of my brain is loud as fucccckkkk.

‘beyond the scope of this paper’ is a dear friend to me. I Am Not Fucking Talking About That

"Look I can stay on track or this paper can be three times as long, your choice."

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

Hercule Poirot deduces you are trans by accident because he suspected you of murder and broke into your house and searched your stuff then puts 2 and 2 together when Hastings makes an innocuous observation about your fashion sense or something and he jumps up and cries “mon dieu!!!” before striding over to you kissing you on both cheeks and saying “ah, cher ami, you must live as you choose!” and then running off to confront the real culprit while you stand there in befuddlement

Columbo deduces you're trans from context clues while he's talking to you about the area, immediately uses your preferred pronouns and starts telling you about his cousin, who's also transgender, and how they got this job doing security, and how they told him that a security guard always locks up, and asks you if the guard locked up last night, and isn't it weird the place was open? And you're like, well, someone else must have opened it up. Maybe the guy in charge? He has a spare key. And then he nods and goes "the guy in charge has a spare key... well, how about that?" And then he offers you a cigar and wanders off, and a day later your boss gets arrested for murder.

Fanon Batman deduces you are trans and suddenly a free hormone clinic opens up by your home a couple months later

Miss Fisher learns youre trans and simply gives you hormones, and a little cocaine as a treat. she also invites you out to a club to meet like minded individuals. at the club you watch as she seduces the bartender and then the next day the bartender is arrested for the murder.

Elementary Sherlock reduces you are Trans and takes you on as a specialist in many obscure and useful disciplines, and also takes you in when you have a falling out with one of your many eccentric and rich paramours. This leads to you becoming an occasional and part-time housekeeper. You are Mrs. Hudson. Yes this is Canon and it aired on TV in 2007

ok so I looked it up, and it turns out they made a track out of PVC pipes, down a hill. The owner didn't realise PVC expanded in the heat, so on a turn the track just fell apart and the dude inside went over a fucking free way and into a swamp.

The funniest part is that the inspector was watching the whole time, and once the ball stopped he left without saying anything. Park management just shut it down then and there.

the anatomy students were literally newborns who just wanted to take a class about the human body to learn what shape their bones were meant to be and their professor started randomly skipping class all the time even though they never missed even a single meeting. rude.

I think you guys want Bone Apple Teeth by PrairieDawn

idk i just feel like "it is more acceptable and in fact encouraged to mock anything enjoyed primarily by women" and "being enjoyed primarily by women does not make thing feminist and righteous" are thoughts that can and should coexist

oh and also "even if the thing is bad your criticism of it can come from a place of patronising misogyny"

I love how elias's fatal flaw that he repeats over and over again is that he has the ability to know basically everything about everyone around him, but he's just. not that curious about it. he assumes he already knows everything by surface-level personality judgements alone and doesn't care to Actually Check. he doesn't care enough to look into tim's past, he doesn't care enough to check if he's underestimating martin, and he doesn't care enough to consider whether jon might actually be willing to kill him. pitch perfect representation of an academic with almost unimaginable access to information who simply does not give a shit about his professed area of expertise. even jon at his absolute rock bottom worst is still interested in learning new things.

he really thought he could wear the watcher's crown when his allegiance to the eye was utilitarian at best. cringe fail watcher who probably doesn't even like stalking that much.
