in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

Sherlock Holmes is the funniest case of “doomed by the narrative” ever. Doomed by the narrative and destined to die young bc the creator hated him, and then the fans literally bullied him into un-dooming the narrative, writing about him for another thirty years, and giving the character a canonical happy ending where he retires to the countryside and keeps bees. Funniest shit ever.

cinderellas castle genuinely has the best music of any starkid show and it get like zero recognition and i am going to fight people over it

I keep thinking about how funny it is that Lauren Lopez is literally making her west end debut but she doesn’t get to bow. Like she has to stay in character and yell and scream and be carried off stage. She literally directed the show and she can’t bow

You know, it's probably best that Glam and the Pentagrams is coming out after Miss Halloween, where Miss Holloway decides to undo her deal. Otherwise we'd all collectively forget everything that happened in it after watching it.

i love when a fan wiki includes a "nicknames" section in their little character boxes and it's just everything a character has been referred to as that isn't their name so like one character will dismissively call another "hat boy" once and now it's on the wiki. thats his nickname.

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil
