What everrr

characters who crave affection but at the same time have no idea how to respond to actually receiving it due to the fact theyve rarely ever experienced it are my absolute favourite

Randomly thinking of that one scene in The Great Mouse Detective where Ratigan pauses mid-villain song to execute one of his own henchmen for calling him a "rat" and how it maybe kind of makes him a bit unintentionally sympathetic because rats seem to be an undesirable racialized Other in the world of mouse!London and Ratigan is obsessed with dressing in fancy clothes and talking in posh accents and claiming to be a mouse, even though he is, very clearly, a rat, at least biologically speaking. And then thinking about how Ratigan is clearly based on Professor Moriarty, who today has a reputation for being a generically kind of posh Victorian villain, but who, when you think about it, is a guy with an Irish surname living in Victorian London. And then thinking about how Moriarty's henchman was a guy called "Moran", another Irish surname, and wondering for a long moment whether Sherlock Holmes has actually been kind of racist against the Irish all along; but then thinking, "Wait, 'Conan Doyle' is also an Irish name, isn't it? How does that interface with his problematic depiction of the Irish?" and then looking up the significant amount of scholarship that has been written on this.

I don’t like how they wrote Johnny in the last two episodes. Like they rushed the reveal he was evil. In my mind he’s more morally grey and yk. Doesn’t act like an idiot. Especially not on LIVE TV

SAME!!It all felt so rushed. I wish there was more depth in his character and not this sudden change. He fr acted like a total idiot...

I’m just saying if I was on the writers team—

OH YOU WOULD HAVE DONE IT A LOT BETTER!I DONT JUST THINK THAT,I KNOW THAT!There is so much potentional in making Johnny a lot more interesting in these episodes... It could have been better if we could at least get more story from Johnny and not a small explanation from Randall...

Maybe past me was onto something
