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 🙃

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

ummm excuse you justin, that is your best friend

lol really though!!

but nah, i touched on this in my tags of a rb of this tweet. like to me it isn't a huge deal or anything. they're obviously still close, they just don't talk in season (which they've both said before). but they spent time in france together this offseason and have also said that they love each other and are always gonna have that connection so i'm not too worried! friendships go through stages sometimes, and adult friendships are just kind of like that, even for football players i guess! (some of my absolute best friends in the world, my favorite people, i only talk to once a month if that. and like a real deep catch up session happens only a few times a year. it's just hard! and i can say for sure that me and my friends do not have nearly as much going on as these two guys lol)

but anyway i'm also gonna take this opportunity to ramble about some more ja'marr character analysis lol. so like, it's becoming pretty clear that ja'marr is deadset on keeping tee and joe with him as long as possible (not gonna get into contract details or likelihood at the moment because that's all still in the air of course. but like, ja'marr's intentions at least are clear at the moment). and it's also obvious how much ja'marr treasures his friendships! he loves his guys and thrives off of being around them! i wonder if like, the evolution of his relationship with justin has to do with how extreme he, tee, and joe are being about contract stuff right now???

like justin and ja'marr were SO close for awhile there. from the hyper competitive but clearly loving friendship they had going on in college. the way they were always together on the sideline and always doing their dances and making up ridiculous elaborate handshakes <3 the way all of their joint interviews involved so much laugher and loving glances. and even after joining the league still talking about each other in the media and how much they love and support each other even as they're still super competitive. hell, when i first became a fan in 2022, ja'marr would still be streaming with justin almost every week lol. (i think justin has stopped streaming and maybe doesn't even do much gaming-wise anymore, which may have been the main way they kept in touch tbh. like, many such cases for the men i know in my life lol)

and now they're at the point where they have so much else going on, that even though they love each other, the constant conversation and all that isn't as present. (and ja'marr has kind of made it clear that that started on justin's end. like, ohhh he doesn't text me back blah blah blah, however true that is 🤔). and i feel like, even though ja'marr probably understands, that had to have hurt. again he values his friends so much and is at his best mentally, emotionally, and athletically when he's around them!!! i wonder if that taught him something about like, "if i want to keep these people i love in my life as much as possible, i need them to stay on my team. justin went to a different team and something that was so beautiful and important to me changed. i can't have that for tee. i can't have that for joe. we need to figure something out" which like, could absolutely be me digging depth into something that isn't there but at the same time it makes sense motivationally for me!!! like did he sob on his agent's shoulder one night about how much he missed justin and how he couldn't stand the thought of that happening with tee (I WANT TO PLAY WITH HIM FOR ETERNITY!!!) and the agent was like, hey, we can do something about this actually! send me his info!

#sorry sorry tldr: a bunch of projection #personal note that transitioning from living basically on top of my college friends and talking SO MUCH every day #(to the point that we were getting sick of each other lol)#to like. adulthood. in separate states. different kinds of jobs. different friends and family...#yeah that shit is hard!#but you always love each other #and ja'marr and justin clearly still do even if it's not quite the same #ON A DIFFERENT NOTE #holy shit those comments #i know i should never read football twitter #but like damn #do vikings fans hate ja'marr that much??#surely y'all can't be THAT insecure about justin?? like sorry that this one year (also ja'marr's rookie year)#people are saying that ja'marr could be better than him #like regardless of whetehr or not you believe that #it's hard to say there ISN'T an argument for it. like triple crown wise #i'm not sure where i fall on it #but like damn. why are you guys so bitter about ja'marr??#also acting like ja'marr has actually insulted justin??#when these two have IN A FRIENDLY LOVING WAY shit talk each other since day 1 at LSU #like??? the competition is one of the main bases of their friendship lol #each other of them has always and will always say that they're the one that's better #jesus christ #stop pitting two bad bitches against each other etc etc #anyway sorry anon i just used this ask to spill some Thoughts before bed lol #ja'marr chase #justin jefferson #(i'm also NOT sober so i doubt much of this makes sense)

Didn't felt like mentioning it immediately but shoutout to my sick and twisted brain for getting so triggered by an unexpected Christmas parade that I ended up havin the absolute worst panic attack of my entire life (potentially the only real one? I've had a couple other episodes I thought of as panic attacks but they were not even close to that so who knows) to the point where I spent the very last day of my 30th year on this earth in the ER, good times, good times 😊

#that was 10 days ago and i honestly was fine immediately after it ended so don't worry for me <3 #but yeah this shit was crazy holy hell #like i knew intellectually that 'feeling like you're dying' is a symptom of a panic attack but *actually* feeling it is another thing...#and even at the worst i was like 'ok i'm clearly having a panic attack it's not nice but it's gonna be ok'#but there was a piece of my brain that was like 'ok but what if your mom or grandma had told themselves that...'#'when they were having heart attack? They would have died and so will you 😊'#and i was like shit can't argue with that better get my ass to the hospital before i die #spoiler alert: i didn't died #ironically enough the revolting state of our healthcare system is lowkey what helped me calmed the fuck down #because i was tiny but i do remember when my mom had her heart attack and they sure as hell didn't let her wait for 7h+#so when i realized that this is what was gonna happen after i spent a brief moment with a nurse i was just like...oh i'm fine actually lol #and then i had to go take the bus in my fake crocs that i usually never wear outside of the house smh #interestingly enough my phobia of hospital seems to have competely disappear! which makes me believe that it was more a trauma response #than an actual phobia #not that the name changes that much but still interesting development #also no i'm not wearing a mask because nobody gave me one #that's actually one of the thing that made me leave lmao #oh and btw the christmas parade is true but also a bit more complex than that #basically i had a full sleepless night and i was mad so i decided to go buy myself some weed #turned out that there was a huge christmas parade 5 minutes away from the weed store so i hade to find another way #and then i got lost on the way back #and saw no less than 3 big fights between different homeless people #including one man randomly kicking another man's dog (which kinda really messed with me tbh)#and then i smoked a big joint (first one in like 10 days) with 0 sleep and zero food in my body #and then i took the bus #and then the bus driver yelled at an elderly man for not waiting at the right place #and then i took a sip of water and for some truly strange reason my brain decided that the water had gone in my lungs #and that i was actively drowning #and the rational part of me was like...girl that's not what drowning feels like what are you even talking about??#and then my brain went 'well if we're not drowning than we're having a heart attack'

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

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

Rereading my own posts about JJK and the tags I left in those posts is making me want to chew wood. I knew virtually nothing but yeah yeah. The parallels between Gojo and Sukuna not only exist, but they are key. Yeah, Gojo indeed knows, trusts and relies on the people around his age he interacts with in that flippant, intimate and vulnerable way (Ijichi, Shoko, Nanami, Utahime); they were his classmates and childhood friends. Yes, Megumi and Gojo do go way back, I wasn't hallucinating it; in the last chapters, this will weight on the scenes in which Megumi laughs and smiles faintly. Yes, Gojo does sincerely care about things and the kids, and tries his best to do good and be good, even if he's also annoying and rude. Yes, indeed it is all very lonely. Yes, indeed there's ontological alienation. Yes, indeed love is like a curse, it is even stated that way. Yes, indeed last words doom, and keep people going; that too is a blessing and a curse, like love is. Yes, there's significance in Gojo using "boku". Yes, "when granted everything, you can't do anything... but just die peacefully" does apply to Gojo's life miserably. Yes, indeed there is a mix of longing for a normal life and being drunk on power, the feeling that one is hindering the future generations and a desire to make it better for them. Yes, indeed it is a mix of selfish and selfless motives. Yes, Gojo musing about Nobara's power being intriguing is indeed shady. Yes, Gojo's death will be done in a way that imply continuity kinda similarly to Cantor's hypothesis on the cardinality of the Continuum. And so on and on. Unfair how well constructed this manga is. Unfair how much wasted potential there is in it too. I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop being frustrated about it all. It's so good. It's so unsatisfactory. The last chapter made me smile because oh it made so much sense, of course; it also broke my heart, because of course. I wish I had never gotten into it. It's given me a lot of joy, despite everything. I've drowned in remembrance. I've had a lot of fun. And in short, I love it, quite honestly. I can't even wish I didn't. I resent it, but I can't even wish I didn't. I love it, it's both a blessing and a curse; but that's how it always goes when it comes to love.

#I can't believe how spot on I was at times and I say this not in the 'heh! I was right!'#but in the 'damn that was planned *and conveyed* from the start'#From time to time people like my posts from last August (how they find them is beyond me)#and it hits me every time just how well constructed some things are enough to foresee what was going to be of them #Still frustrated over many things but for a change I am feeling too lazy to ramble in tags even though I intended to do so initially #I should keep watching the anime #It's been well over a month since I last watched one episode. At this rate I'm going to have to start over #and I don't trust it won't keep me again weeks? a month? to get over the first time Gojo expands his domain #I should also read the manga from beginning to end instead of playing hopscotch because of fear of commitment lol #I do love this after all. I guess the harm's already done #And if faintly I still hope reading the entire thing in order from beginning to end will save Geto's writing for me #because what a waste otherwise #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #Sorry I wish tumblr didn't put this in the general tag after so many tags #but I do want to find this post in the future and compare my past and present thoughts if I do not end up deleting it in a couple days #Jujutsu Kaisen

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

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

just watched challengers at the cinema w my little sister. it was so intense wtf
