What are your thoughts on lin as a slytherin? It’s hard to imagine him as one because he’s so bubbly, but it also makes sooo much sense.

i wish i could answer that, but i've never seen/read harry potter, i'm sorry 🙃

#I KNOW #some people still can't believe it lol #it was just never my thing tbh #lin manuel miranda #lmm #anon #i saved every letter you wrote me*

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

#these just sum up my personal takes at the years in question and also what i'm seeing on tumblr/other social media #bbc sherlock #sherlock holmes #and i actually have a lot more thoughts to share on this series #specifically relating to the cultural impact #there is SO much about the show that goes unappreciated in hindsight because of how public perception of it has soured #and i totally fell into this as well--i still regularly rewatch hbomberguy's video absolutely dismantling the series and he isn't wrong!!#but what i'm saying is that i think it's easy for us to look at a piece of media (especially one so massively popular) like sherlock...#with very black-and-white lenses. it wouldn't have become so popular if there wasn't something inherent in it that resonated with people #and that's being buried (and i totally forgot it) because 'sherlock is cringe and problematic. can't believe i liked that'#which again it IS full of issues and those are well-documented as they should be. future portrayals should not repeat those mistakes #BUT being able to impact so many people is a merit in itself. and that's only possible because of other genuinely good things about the show #yes the way they handled the relationship between john and sherlock was riddled with problems YES it was often queerbaiting #AND the way they portrayed that relationship had a deep effect on me. i saw a lot of myself in sherlock and the complex way he loved john #the nuanced feelings he had about john's marriage to mary. the part (in s4!) where john calls him inhuman for not feeling romantic love #there was genuine intention and care put into some parts of this show and it comes through in scenes like those. they impact people.#and because of this realization i'm going to (eventually) do a rewatch of the show. i'm much older and i want to see how i'll view it now #but i want to go into it--and i want everyone who engages with it still--to have an open mind and evaluate it for what it is #not what we expected it to be (secret episode anyone?) or what the cultural drift has turned it into (the tiktok of sherlock's mind palace)#but the messy problematic somewhat-heartfelt massively significant and ultimately meaningful piece of media it actually was #anyway that's my thoughts would love to hear y'all's perspectives #funny how after all this time making a sherlock post still feels like i'm poking a bees' nest lol please be kind!#kay can i just catch my breath for a second #kay has a party in the tags

dehradun days

you meet them for the first time,

knowing it's probably the last.

might as well make the most of this time,

since life comes at you fast.

you find the strangest of signals

in the no-network zones.

cross-tent communication with folks,

just rambling about the unknown.

there's the warmth of shared laughter,

that carries you through freezing nights,

and you look up at the flickering stars,

to finally see things in a different light.

and at 11,000 ft above sea level

you finally reach the peak,

just to realise the joy was in the journey,

and the friends you made that week.

you'll visit caves & splendid cafes,

and remember the city in mere parts,

but years later, you'll still tell everyone,

how dehradun captured your heart.

#inertia-writes #poets on tumblr #desi poetry #dehradun poetry #poems on india #poems on life #desiblr #being desi #dehradun #i went on a trek w the lowest of expectations and it was one of the best experiences of my life #it's so refreshing to meet people from different cities and of different ages and backgrounds #jan and feb were pretty meh but things have been looking upwards from march (thank you god - i acknowledge your existence)#thought of writing a happy poem for a change of tone (and also maybe because i am genuinely happy :) )#this isn't one of my best poems i feel - it's a bit unrefined - but who cares it is one of my happy ones sooooo #there are times when absolutely nothing significant happens and there are days when years happen #i didn't go in the mountains for solitude - i felt that here already haha. i went for a change.#but i gained so many memories w people and so many positive perspectives that i needed in general. also nayata premier league <3 #i think i believe in destiny now. i was destined to meet those people and have a good time and come back to reality w a spring in my step #and maybe the mountains were calling. can't stay away from snow too long - i was born during snowy days anyway #came back home and am still in some weird positive trance - good for me #also my lucky streak is still going on - kaavish released a new song #historic moment in time (thank you god 2x)#poems on friendship #found family #poems on found family #all the may '23 - feb '24 melancholy has been washed out of my system. i am now set for the next tragedy of my life lol #dekhte hai kab tak khush rehti hu mein - kuch bhayankar honewala hai aisa lag raha hai #i do not remember the last time i was happy for a month straight - am i living in a virtual simulation?#whoever is controlling my life rn - i would like to continue to stay in this simulation - thanks v much

happy one year to her and one of my better opening lines for a fic <3

now, because i'm curious:

#to hell and back again #i genuinely can't believe it's a year but i guess that's how time works huh :')#anyway umm gonna leave some retrospective thoughts in the tags:#1. i hold this fic near to my heart but also have a very complicated relationship with it now-#mostly bc i feel like my writing has improved so much and it's hard for me to reread parts of this lol #2. i honestly feel like it's a product of its time? like i think if i was publishing it now people wouldn't like it nearly as much #(especially with the opening line wHICH HAS A POINT AND COMES FULL CIRCLE AT THE END OK JUST TRUST ME)#3. on a sadder note this also means it's been a year since we had to put my family's eldest dog down #i remember i was gonna post this first chapter later when i had finished another fic up #but then our dog just like. straight up started dying on my mom's bedroom floor #and my mom was too distressed/upset to take her to the vet so i had to put her in my car and take her on my own #and then had to go to work right after that #so yeah i was upset and was like 'well dammit im gonna post this then bc it's silly and makes me laugh and i am sad'#so yeah!! some thoughts and behind the scenes info for anyone who's bothered to read this many tags #idk these things just feel like Tags thoughts not Post thoughts #anyway thanks for all the love this one has gotten!! i'm glad people are still enjoying it though *will voice* it's been a year mike #byler

feel like i'm being gaslighted by the ofs fandom like where are all these wild think pieces coming from we can't possibly be watching the same ONE EPISODE of the same drama

anyway,

#the amount of baseless fanon is... wild #and by baseless i really do mean like. two sentences and a trailer #i feel like.......... bl fandom has never seen a couple like. actually be in the dating phase #so everyone is interpreting their little dance as two MASTER MANIPULATORS when they're just like... feeling each other out?? lmao #also some of u really think that mew is lying about being a virgin #so either he's been lying to his three closest friends for 4+ years or they're lying for him even during private moments with no one around #on the off chance that some hot guy is going to learn about it and want to date him because of it #that is breathtakingly bad writing #(of note: said hot guy was already interested in him before learning he was a virgin and still would've gone home with him had he not known #and if mew is so much of an unreliable narrator that we can't believe ANYTHING that is on screen that is also unbelievably bad writing lol #some of you are CONVINCED that he is an absolute psycho #?????????#ofs liveblog #i use that gif and then these are my tags #also i don't say all this like i know who mew really is. because it's been one episode lmao but he's definitely guarded and intuitive #i'm open to being wrong about MY interpretation of him but if any of these headcanons are true i probably won't finish it lol #(but i find it really unlikely... especially from how many of these takes are from people who hate top...)#(which tells me that you're not actually interested in understanding him as a character and want to cling to your own ideas of him)#(an attitude that i have a hard time believing you don't apply to all the characters. especially mew)#ANYWAY

really struggling with work atm. not in the sense that I have a lot to do or it's stressful or my colleagues suck. It's just having to somehow go a full 9h without laying down that really gets me.

#literally can't do it. I have to hide and lay down on the bathroom floor nearly every day. Or use up overtime to leave early #and regardless when I get home it's just. Couch until bed. I just grab a snack before going to the couch I don't even do dinner anymore.#I still CANNOT believe that sitting is restful for some people. I sit whenever I can at work but it's still so exhausting #it all sucks lol #cfs #vent

Alec: 😭 I just got a prophecy that I would father a child of no woman

Seregil: hmm... I agree that does sound unambiguously like you'll never have a child, but also, did you want a child? You knew I wasn't going to bear a child for you, right?

Me: congrats boys, you've just described a way to father a child of no woman (mpreg*)

*I don't know why I'm trying to avoid spoilers for a book that came out over 15 years ago, but for people who have no idea what I'm on about, I need you to know that the actual evental womanless childfathering method is. Worse.

#i love that the concept of mpreg seregil is literally canonical (THE CONCEPT NOT THE ACTUALITY)#and also how phenomenally terribly that would go. like. just truly awful.#anyway. as always. Alec is truly a character who has the Most happen to him...and then he'll do some manual labor and mostly get over it lol #this is a real tangent but I still cannot believe that my kindle has The White Road marked as read #i have no memory of that book. and also goodreads doesn't think I read it whereas it does know I read the first 4??#tbf I also only had vague memories of Traitor's Moon as well (they go to Aurenën and Alec impresses people w archery)#so who can say. maybe when I restart it more memories will return as happened w this one.#nightrunner series #cc #as always- to be clear- i love that alec is like 'yes this is my horrible abomination child born from trauma. and i love them.'#this is why I'm baffled that I supposedly read The White Road but can't remember it!!!

always find it ridiculous how whenever a mangaka write a fujoshi into their story, the readers always come out of it with the same conclusion of

"oh the author wanted to show that these fujoshis are terrible for fantasizing about men like that, real men don't act like that etc etc"

well... YEAH REAL WOMEN DON'T ACT LIKE ALL OF THE GIRLS IN MANGA AND ANIME TOO so why is it so easy to give free pass to those dudebros but it's so easy to talk shit about fujoshis?

like ofc there are nuanced in this, but damn i've been in the animanga fandom for awhile now and most of the time this sort of thing is just pot calling the kettle black lol

like yeah fujoshis are terrible bla bla bla, but dudebros really is much worse when it comes to dealing with women in real life

#this is such an old 2010s level of discourse lol but i've finished reading some kumeta kouji's work #and it's... hilarious how people react to the fujoshis in his manga #because personally i feel like he's actually self aware enough that fujoshis are just different kinds of otaku #and that they are not like... even more terrible than your average dudebros who's obsessed with their waifus #can't believe there are people who still shamed others for liking queer stories when the thing they love are even worse lol #tmi tag

every time there's a new videogame preservation dmca or whatever crackdown people on here love to blame random posts for bringing them visibility. what's up with that

#i believe what actually spurred this¹ is the recent advances in emulation on the ios / apple store #(1: vimm's lair removal of roms i mean. check their homepage if you didn't know)#i think these companies play some mind games where they 'have' to present this image of absolute control over their IPs #but they definitely let a stream of piracy pass through to actually create / 'enhance' fans #like we all know people having access to old games is good business for them. but they can't say that out loud #like idk vimm's lair has been pretty well known for years now lol #in a way these are more symbolic than truly about profit #still fucking sucks ofc. and if i could i'd be a data hoarder. like with a little server rack and all #but yeah it just annoys me how ppl will always blame others just reblogging stuff #like this isn't top secret underground stuff. you can find it on fucking reddit slash r slash piracy
