Broke (2016): BBC Sherlock is a phenomenal piece of media and anything that seems like a flaw just hasn't been fully explored yet

Woke (2020): BBC Sherlock is an incredibly flawed series run by an egotistical writer, it never deserved the hype and is actively bad on so many fronts (especially representation)

Bespoke (2024): BBC Sherlock is flawed and bogged down by increasingly poor writing, which many fans refused to see while it was airing, leading to hugely misplaced expectations (particularly for the final series), AND it has the seeds of some compelling characterizations and portrayals, some genuinely solid performances, and touches--albeit imperfectly--on complexities that are still being discussed today (particularly as it relates to the relationship between Sherlock and John). The huge cultural impact of the show has created a massive pendulum effect in its public perception, leading to most people today remembering a caricature of the show (whether positive or negative) rather than appreciating its nuanced merits and failings...that being said Season 4 sucked

"just be yourself" has always been one of my most hated things to hear from someone. it may sound simple and easy to you, but when you grew up never able formed a single solid personality (because you grew up autistic or for some other reason) and/or have always felt more like 20 different personalities in a trench coat who fight over who is supposed to be in charge, that "simple" advice is so much less simple.....it can even seem impossible.

I'm seeing some bad Dorian takes already... it's concerning the number of people that suggest that he's "unwilling" to move position or be reasoned with because 1.) In game, we have herd very little from Dorian himself and only through Robbie during cooldown and 2.) It's been like 2 days since his world fell apart give him a little grace, also he hasn't talked in depth with anyone yet.

I just find it's strange that people think his stance comes from being unable to accept responsibility for how things happen with the crown keepers, when we know for a fact the he does 100% blame himself and carries that guilt and that killing the gods would be his way of atonement.

I also don't like the idea that dorian is being 'tricked' like no, he has agency and he can use said agency to disagree with other (white) characters. The onus isn't on Dorian for being "tricked" but on Ludinus for using manipulative techniques to appeal to those rightfully pissed at the gods.

I also find it really odd that the same people who give dorian very little grace have said nothing about Ashton. Who 1.) Openly said he was on Ludinus' side the most and 2.) Had a borderline nihilistic take to the situation, like at least be consistent. Is being anti-god bad, or is it only bad when the character of colour does it?

the absolute lack of media literacy from people who haven’t even seen oppenheimer is making my head spin but whatever

I personally really could not give less of a fuck about genderswapped ruikasa because first and foremost imo I think people just do it to get yuri warrior points instead of actually caring about female characters/wlw relationships. however I also dgaf because I think people do it in the most boring way possible without thinking about how tsukasa and rui’s personalities would impact how they present themselves as girls.

Tsukasa is so incredibly determined to be seen as a reliable mature older brother figure to the point where he dresses in an incredibly stuffy and boring way & has stripped his room of anything childish (& anything with personality). She would not dress super cute & girly. she would want to be taken seriously (& you should be able to be taken seriously wearing fashion like that but I’m not getting into that rn) & be viewed as anything but childish. She would not dress like Saki she would dress like she worked at a library or something. Her fashion would still be boring. Integral to the character.

I have less to say abt rui because I generally think less about what his fashion choices say about him (beyond hater of tight clothes #sensory issues king) but he is almost never in shorts and dresses in comfy loose fitting clothes he would also not be a hashtag girly girl wearing short skirts and bows either.

‘But I want to draw yuri and I want them in cute clothes’ draw emunene instead. Hope that helps.

I see where you're coming from, but also blorbo is different to everyone and we all had different experiences. I was in voltron but pidge was my blorbo, not lance, so I rarely saw him. And then I saw Yuuri everywhere whether I wanted to or not. Also, polls are not about accuracy, as much as we might think they should be. Life is a popularity contest. 🩵💙🩵💙🩵

my blorbo rankings contain multitudes. however, i am cognizant enough to recognize two things:

while lance is not my specific blorboest blorbo, i still rank him to be a more iconic blorbo than yuri. and so my vote for lance is still valid.

this poll is about most iconic blorbo. i like keith and allura more than i like lance, but i firmly believe that lance is voltron's most iconic character. i define "iconic" based on the following criteria: a) canon material; b) fandom experience and reaction; and c) impact on outsiders (the "did i see this character everywhere" standard). i heavily value points in the (b) category over points for (a) and (c).

lance's canon material sucks ass. however, the fandom's ability to 1) go crazy over lance anyway, and then 2) ability to extrapolate so heavily, insist on digging so deeply, and create so genuinely is impressive to me. and also incredibly hilarious. this is why i made the toxic iconity argument: i deeply respect the daily battles lance stans fought, both between themselves/the wider voltron fandom, and the constant enduring sisyphus-level uphill battle against the quality of the canon material. lance stans were able to create everything out of veritable nothingness, and i believe that deserves to be commemorated.

I live in a delusional world where in high school musical sharpay and kelsi had a secret tumultuous toxic frenemies with benefits relationship in which sharpay was deeply in denial of her lesbianism hence her overcompensating with her obsession over troy and kelsi was just experiencing a combo of low self esteem I’ll take what I can get and I am fascinated by this turn of events and want to see how it plays out and throughout the movies as kelsi gains more confidence it changes the dynamic of their relationship and they either end up with a respect for each other that slowly turns into affection or they just both end up hurting each other so devastatingly that they never speak to each other again

Headcanon : Rhinedottir would rather fuck the world up than go to therapy

She is the type to suffer in silence

Also while guilt is a good reason why she act so drastically, I think mania would be more interesting

HRLLPPP THIS IS SO TRUE

Rhine’s like those old people who swear they don’t have anything wrong with them, because ‘back in their days, kids toughed out how they felt, and it was normal’, but then they grew up in the 60s LMAO

You’re definitely right considering the fact she doesn’t at all seem like the type to even go near therapy or mental health practices— just considering the fact she actually thought abandoning her kids if they didn’t meet her standards was a good idea— so she’s definitely wayyy more bottled up ; hence the stuff she does 😭

I have no clue what is/was going through her head when she did half the things she did, but I think it could definitely be some result of guilt derived from the cataclysm (or something else) spiraling into her just be manic, and that being her driving force afterwards

This is also sorta making me think about if there were any attempts to have her just,, go to a psychologist or therapy or anything at all. Since there’s no way everybody looked at that woman and thought she was doing okay in the head at ANY point in her life

this might not articulate well but I feel like the way a lot of tumblr talks about taylor swift is . misogyny

[befuddled-calico-whump]

so the next test track comic would potentially include a panel with heavily implied (but also censored and non-explicit) noncon. Removing the panel is an option and doesn't really destabilize the flow, but I am indecisive sooo

What Does Impact Look Like?

What does it mean to create impact? It's time to look at what it means and how we can tell when we achieve it.

Impact is the ultimate outcome for any social change initiative yet it’s also the most elusive and poorly defined of our evaluation metrics in practice. How do we change this? In this first post in a series, I bring us into the world of understanding impact. Non-profits are in the business of making a positive difference in spaces that are ignored or neglected by other institutions society.…
