what if Giles gave in to his birthright and became a Watcher but didn't drop his Ripper attitude. He rolls into Sunnydale on a motorcycle. Kids go to the school library and find him smoking with his feet propped up on the help desk. Buffy keeps having to bail him out of jail for getting into fights with cops

When people don't return their library books on time smokes by their locker and threatens them

I don't think you need to modernise Jeeves and Wooster to work in 2026. It's so dated it flips back around to being evergreen. If I met a man in 1920s garb saying 'what ho!' and introducing me to his manservant I wouldn't even be surprised. I'd think 'geez, rich people are getting audacious these days' but that's about it

My favorite thing about Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes is the sheer number of times that he just waltzes into Watson's bedroom when he's sound asleep. He doesn't knock. He just walks in and stares, or whispers at Watson, who always wakes up seeming bemused rather than surprised or momentarily frightened to be woken up by someone in his bedroom whispering at him. And like also they just go to a bath house together sometimes, which I'm sure didn't have Implications(tm) in Victorian England. And the show decided that this Very Important Detail needed to be kept in. Not that Conan Doyle would have known that gay men and bath houses are associated when he wrote Holmes and Watson in one. It's not like he was friends with Oscar Wilde or anything...

Imagine being a police officer in the late 1800s in London at a crime scene at 3:00 am, beacouse one of your superiors found the dismembered body of a child in a river, and as you shiver with cold you see homotron 3000 walking towards you with his little gay assistant talking about sum "you are my conductor of light"

I have glasses now and wow I never realised how bad my vision was. I thought I just didn't see writing that was far away but turns out even the writing only a metre from me was somewhat blurry. Wearing glasses feels like cheating because I now have 4K vision. I can count the leaves on trees from my window. Wow
