#god i need to make fanart of them so baaaad

[sherlock-is-ace]

SCREAMING at the new episode of deep space discounts!!! harold, they're lesbians! dkjffg

[minimuii]

So like - Whenever I’m too busy to consume new media and hyperfixate on it as I usually do, my older cherished hyperfixations come in and carry me through the extended work time, which is lovely, because they are my beloveds, and I absolutely love thinking about them

however -

this is a problem because suddenly my brain really wants to draw something for them, and god, they deserve it, and !! I’m finally in the right headspace to do it- but - I never g e t to because this only happens when I’m way too busy

[dr-who-said-lgbtq-rights]

i, a fan of superwholock, dissect and give my opinion on the individual shows

idk i thought this would be fun and i currently have 4-5 hours to kill soooo

let’s start with

doctor who

(only new who. i have not seen the older stuff :( )

k. so. i have been a fan of this since i was pretty young. honestly i think i was a little too young to be watching it when my mom first showed me it but that’s beside the point. basically: i really like dr who

this is probably the best show out of superwholock, both in my opinion and in general. however... i am going to be nitpicky bc why not

1. the canon. 

(yes the example is abt a dr who episode)

in short, the canon is comprised of a) retcons and b) contradictions. im not an avid follower of canon with any media but good god nobody can keep up with dr who canon

(i am blaming moffat bc i hate him and i think a lot of it is his fault anyway)

2. representation

honestly, the representation isn’t bad. however, i would describe it less as “good” and more as “a good starting point.”

for example, there is quite a bit of queer rep, POC rep, and a lot of characters are women. however, while this is nice, the show could still use a lot more rep, and the rep it has currently should probably be improved upon (for example: jack harkness is NOT straight, but he falls under the “multi-spec person wants to screw everyone” stereotype (i have not seen torchwood so this may be amended in that i just needed an example off the top of my head)).

3. story

some people yearn for romance. i yearn for the days when the doc would take their companion to some party, flirt with a tree, the companion almost dies while britney spears is playing in the background, etc. etc.

basically, the story starts out nice. just a bunch of goofing off, maybe a “big deal” thing here and there. life was fun.

then, the story changes. (this happened specifically from eleven onward, so yeah you can bet your ass im blaming moffat ‘cuz it’s his fault) things gradually became less fun. conspiracies ran amok; just when you thought it was over, turns out there’s an even bigger part of this plan that what you just defeated. the doc actually started caring about the timeline (what happened to time being wibbly wobbly?) sure, there are still fun episodes where the doc and the companion(s) go out for funsies but it’s just not the same as it was. 

4. morals

morals are good. basically:

you can have a dark past but still have a bright future, and

be kind

bonus 5. cowardice

at least one of the doctors played by one of the male actors should have worn a dress. there were plenty of opportunities but noooooo there’s a gender binary or something (like,,, they’re an alien????? if gender on gallifrey is the same as gender on earth i am going to fly to britain and drop kick some writers)

OVERALL

needs work, but p good and enjoyable.

~~~

now it’s time for 

sherlock

just. um. ohhh boy. basically

but i am going to do my best

1. representation

eugh. representation was baaaad in this. like, i think the only POC in the entire show that had any significance were the Chinese gang members and that is like,,, incredibly poor rep. i think the innkeepers in thob were gay but that’s as far as queer rep goes. there were a few women, i would die for all of them, we need more women. also the “im a high functioning sociopath” line makes me cringe everytime

basically this show had shit representation

2. john

okee he’s a great character right??? the common sense of the operation right??? wrong

he cheated on mary??? and we don’t address it like,,, at all??? it made me so fucking mad. 

(again fuck you moffat and gatiss probably had something to do with it too so im mad at him as well)

3. sherlock

classic “let’s make him a bitch” mistake. needs the stick surgically removed from his ass

4. story

story’s actually not that bad. it’s not like, great or anything but i enjoy it

bonus 5. ending

i just want to address it. i think the ending was p good and yall tjlc-ers are just upset that they didn’t bang or anything. they’re literally living in the same [two-room] flat??? and they’re raising rosie???? TOGETHER???? like what more do you want

anyway sherlock’s ace soooo

OVERALL

eh. needs LOTS of work. i love mrs hudson tho, she’s beautiful

~~~

and finally

supernatural

ohohoh. boooyyyy.

(plz forgive me this is so shitty but i threw it together in like,,, a minute)

1. story

aight so the first five seasons? p good. not much to say there

the other ten? the skill level of the writing went wayyyyyy down but i still enjoyed it

2. representation

this show is notorious for bad rep and for good reason. kevin, our beloved prophet and the only recurring asian-american character? dead. charlie, so nerdy and fun and also a lesbian? dead. castiel, the angel who was totally gay? dead. basically: if you find yourself in spn and you are not a straight white man, etc etc, you are going to a) die or b) die but in a worse way

3. mythology/treatment of religions

okay so. a while back i had a wicca/witchcraft hyperfixation which was closely followed by a general pagan religions hyperfixation, so i know some stuff here and there abt religions.

and good golly does this show make me MAD

why is christianity the central and most powerful religion? (i know why, it’s a rhetorical question) why do you demonize the other religions?? (again it’s rhetorical)

one thing that really annoys me is when they say something is a “pagan god.” like,,, do you know how many gods that contains??? if you didn’t know, a religion is considered pagan if it isn’t under the abrahamic religions umbrella. what are the abrahamic religions, you ask? well, they are christianity, judaism, and islam. literally every other religion ever is a pagan religion. so, when they say “it’s a pagan god,” i cry.

back to demonizing... they literally made a greek muse eat someone. my greek mythology phase ended a long time ago and i didn’t really get into the muses but i am p sure they didn’t eat people. also the fact that it makes hoodoo look dark and stuff when it’s actually more abt peace and healing... i bet ten dollars it’s because hoodoo was created by enslaved african americans

there are so many examples of this show disrespecting religions... i just can’t

4. general notes

(for you himym fans: *saluting* general notes) (sorry i couldn’t resist)

-the filler episodes/episodes where random shit happened were the best

-the finale memes are *chef’s kiss*

-god there’s so much abt this show that i can’t even choose bc my brain is overloading

-am i glad amara wasn’t ganked at the end of s11? yes. am i happy about the dean/amara kiss? gods no

-john winchester ���� steven moffat: getting a spot on my “fuck you” list

OVERALL

there is just. so much improvement needed. however if there is an absolute shit show with likeable characters i tend to gravitate to it

~~~

and for funsies let’s talk abt superwholock as a whole

-honestly im a sucker for crossover fandoms. if you scroll far enough on my blog you may find my rotbtd fanart. 

-it’s honestly just a fun idea

-there’s a lot of ways you could make it happen and all of them are fun

-great opportunities for rarepairs so rare no crackshipper has thought of it

~~~

aight that’s it. thank you for reading! if you have any questions abt my opinions abt other aspects of the shows just ask, i like talking abt this

[rusharound]

Okay, so I finally got some time to watch Albireo (ACT week SUCKS!), and first off, just let me say: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! IT'S SO AMAZING!!!!!!!! Okay, okay, but I'm gonna break this down, because it all needs to be said. (Kinda wish you had submissions turned on, 'cause this is gonna be a lot of asks. Apologies in advance. Also will try to avoid spoilers.) Okay, so first off, Chambers: He's such a dork I freaking love him! Nothing's Gonna Happen is such a 1/?

Oh my goodness- OH my goodness I just cannot- I cannot express to you how touched I am by your words! Thank you, so so so so much, we are just over the moon you enjoyed the show! I’m going to try and respond to all your thoughts concisely here but it’s so difficult to think clearly through the great mood you’ve put me in! 

Yes, by the end every single person in the company was vying to protect Chambers and by extension, Colton. He is very much like his character in real life, just a terribly sweet man. I remember one day he came in after getting a haircut, and his barber had nicked his ear a little. Between all of us, It was a collective transition of “Oh no are you okay?” to “that barber will pay.” I wanted Chambers’ problems to be a lot bigger in his head than they are in real life, because that is how anxiety can behave- that is until big BIG problems show up.

I am so glad you like Holly! (well I’m glad you like them all really.) and I’m so pleased you approve of her characterization. Writing for a modern day teen is always fun, especially when she’s set across from her ball of nerves young Godfather. With so many big personalities on stage, I felt like having someone very down to earth would make a welcome bouncepad for the audience, not to mention how utterly lovable Kapila is. (I forgot to mention in the bio that Kapila herself is in a band! Check out their soundcloud, they’re so sick!)-

Wh- Broadway-quality??…???????

Saoirse- I have been told- is fun, if nothing else. I admit, I always had a blast when I had to stand in for her when Rachel was absent. She is a singularity, a damn great singer, and completely hilarious. Rachel actually performs improv regularly! Saoirse is bad news. From her head to her toes, I wanted her to radiate just baaaad. (Danger, Charon Chambers, Danger!) Very much a red villainess in all her bloody glory.

 Gosh- I’m still marveling at your praise, it’s got me shaking in my seat! Saoirse the Scream is also one of my favourite songs! (it went through so many iterations, I rewrote the lyrics so many times, trying to reach that perfect level of evil jauntiness.) And oh GOSH the ensemble absolutely brought it, didn’t they? Many of them had very little dancing experience, but their enthusiasm was unmatched and they’re all just such wonderful folks. (As a creator, I really, really wanted Albireo to be the type of show wherein anyone in any role is pumped, feels needed, important, essential and has a great time. The ensemble has presence. Without them, the show wouldn’t be what it is, and that’s the truth I wanted everyone to understand.)

Oh lord don’t even get me started on Wriker. That man is entirely too big and handsome, and I’m just so pleased you love him. “Two Halves”- as is the title in the script- was a challenge, as Jed is actually a rock singer by trade. He worked extraordinarily hard with this new style and really delivered. And YES those freaking eyebrows, lord I’m actually so enthused about that. Wriker’s dialogue is a complete amalgam, more about the personality, the delivery, than the actual words, and often times, Jed would mix it up in rehearsal but carry that character through effectively. He’s a good big brother. A bit brash, a bit selfish, a bit loud, but a good big brother.

“Well if I break them all, they’ll still match.” is my legacy, thank you.

Lyle and Laura are gifts, and that description of her is completely accurate. Catch those stock broker’s hands.  

I am so, so, so glad, you love for all these dorks, it’s just… Such a wonderful thing. All this positivity, directed at my work, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to watch the show, and write me such wonderful messages. Seriously, it means the absolute world to us over here. Thank you.

(We share favourites, though Siren’s Sword has a special place in my heart.)
