#and I really like that

If there is a God then Bryan Fuller would be collaborating with Guillermo Del Toro on a horror franchise

Actually something I really like about Nickloon (using that both as a duo and ship name here) is that their relationship is pretty much identical no matter how you see it. Romantic? Platonic? Queer platonic? Doesn't matter. They're still just as obsessed and weird about each other. They're still each other's favorite guy no matter what

It's the Beowulf Dragon, isn't it?

Tolkien writes (something to the effect of): for a man who began his career with Grendel, what less than a dragon is worthy to end it.

So Moriarty is Holmes' Dragon. Conan Doyle took care to give Holmes an enemy worthy of being defeated by. And he still gives Holmes the win. Holmes sets out his win conditions right at the beginning and then achieves them. The conclusion is forgone, but the details matter. This victory matters to him, even if it's news to us.

Yes!!

He knew that Holmes required a dragon, you're right. And he GAVE him one. It would have been so much easier to just be like "sometimes criminals get lucky, and everyone's number has to come up sometime :/" and have it Just Happen somehow, rather than to give him a fitting monster to slay. But Doyle saw he ought to have a dragon and he delivered on that.

And ALSO yes, the way Holmes keeps saying "If I could defeat him that would be enough to end my career on" both underscores the seriousness of Moriarty's evil and establishes that Reichenbach is a win for Holmes regardless of his own death.

OH. In a way, it's about agency. Holmes doesn't die because someone decided to kill him and succeeded, on a narrative level—he dies because he saw a fight worth dying to win, and he stepped up and won it. That's nice.

they dont tell u this but the moment you let yourself just use or not use words and stop caring is when you are truly free

Frankly and honestly I only forgive first person narration if the narrator is funny.

saw that it was lesbian visibility week and my mind and hands immediately RUSHED to finish this

these two are background characters on a comic i’m working on, they’re not really important to the plot but i still thought they deserved a love interest :>

on the left is Lenia Dyere and on the right is Captain Rene, both are lesbians and Rene is trans

whoever can guess the animals they’re spliced with gets a free drawing

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

anybody else feel that being human is like being a long-time syndicated cartoon character watching the world get more complex while your own design stays the same until youre incongruous with the reality around you??

stuck between "psychological horror statement" and "objectively the funniest thing you could say to your real flesh and blood dad" in the father's day card aisle

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

[oidheadh-con-culainn]

as an aroace person with limited sexual experience, no interest in watching porn, and poor sex ed as a teen, there IS something simultaneously funny and vaguely tragic about being 28 adult years old and realising how extremely tiny your frame of reference is for genitalia and deciding you should expand this to better understand bodies (yours and others). and then you're just there like "okay so what the fuck do I even google right now, anyway"
