HE DIDN'T I THINK WHAT WHERE DID HIS BROWN EYES GO

A little Ortegas doodle I thought of while being on the motorway during my recent driving lessons hehe

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket

In 2020 my husband and I got really into the 1984 Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. In The Musgrave Ritual, the fourth episode of the second season, Holmes spends a lot of time swanning around being cranky wrapped in a crochet blanket. I had: lots of online classes and zoom calls, lots of pent up anxiety and energy, a wrist injury that flared up during everything except crocheting for some reason, and a Holmes-loving husband who was just as obsessed with this iconic blanket as I was. So I made this!

If you'd like to make one too, read on. I wrote the pattern two different ways; both are in the reblogs. There's a quick and dirty version where I assume you know the basics of crochet and throw some details at you and it's pattern chaos. And there's a nice, neat, detailed pattern with more specific instructions. Caveat for both: I'm a long-time "figure-it-outer" when it comes to fiber craft and I've made up tons of projects but I am new to writing a pattern for someone else to interpret. So good luck in there. And let me know if you have questions!

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket: Chaos Pattern

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket: Detailed Pattern

Drew my first DBH fanart

finished the game for the first time on Sunday and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it ever since 👀 The way Markus was introduced with his cosy first chapter, especially in contrast to Kara’s introduction, instantly had me sold on him, he’s certainly one of my favorites🦫

also got a version without the statue from the pacifist route (which I loved to have as an option)🫡 love this guy

I’m still confused about where these rendering skills randomly showed up from specifically for this drawing lol😭

SH&Co. Black Peter Part 1 SPOILERS (+ slight spoilers for the game SH Crimes and Punishments?)

I stopped what I was doing and audibly gasped when they mentioned the harpoon, because I was like "Is this what I think it is??" And the more they kept describing the scene the more I realized that I'VE COME INTO CONTACT WITH THIS CASE THROUGH THE FROGWARES GAME "SHERLOCK HOLMES: CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS" BEFORE, it's actually the first case you solve in that game and I hadn't recognized it by just the name "Black Peter" alone, but as soon as the harpoon came in the switch flipped and I was like "OHHH IT'S *THAT* CASE???" I'm still confused about the religious stuff that's been hinted at so far though, since as far as I remember, that part wasn't in the game👀

I also don't remember every single detail from the game version of this case though, so I'm excited to find out how they'll do this🦫

I want everyone here to know that Boimler referenced Moriarty in the Lower Decks mobile game🧍

I missed my chance to take a screenshot though because I tried to hold the screen since I forgot that I just don't have to touch the screen at all for this part of the dialogue to stay, so the dialogue went on and I didn't take a screenshot now😔

If I may offer some of my own interpretation for why this is supposed to be degrading:

First of all, it makes it harder for the guards to sympathize/empathize with them, which leaves them with even less hope to get out and leads to them being treated harshly consequently, which is degrading. And the android looks play their part in that even if it wasn't something that they'd personally see as degradation. (Of course the guards would be doing their jobs anyway but it leaves no room for tricks, no room to even try to pretend to be a human, no room for one of the guards to show weakness and question what they're doing.)

Most obviously: they're being forced to do something. They didn't just go "ah wait actually let me remove my skin rq it was getting kinda uncomfortable anyway", the guards ordered them (mind you, the androids they caught that *were* deviants had been trying to *escape* getting ordered around and now they'd be ordered to do something (something that would lead to their doom too) again, except this time it's not even just "in their program" to blindly follow orders. This time they're being threatened and forced to do something against their will.) It wouldn't even matter if they wouldn't usually mind doing this, being forced to do something and remain in that state in order to not be killed is degrading.

Another aspect is that androids live with their skins being turned on. At least so far I have seen no instance of them turning it off just for the sake or "looking their true self" or anything like that, Markus did it in the tower for the sake of not being recognized as easily and yes, probably also to represent androids, but I've seen no other android do that voluntarily. Of course one could argue that that's because they need to fit into the human society, but even in their safe haven they remained with their skins turned on. Noone in Jericho seemed to think "Ah finally, I'm away from the humans and amongst other androids now, let me show my true form in peace", of course that can all just be because they're in the middle of a revolution, but saying that "they're like that", without acknowledging that they in fact do not spend most of their time "like that" doesn't really seem like a strong argument to me. I understand what you mean and I agree that under different circumstances their non-human designs wouldn't be degradation, but these circumstances make all the difference here.

Furthermore, it creates uniformity. All of the androids in the camps look exactly the same, except for male and female body shapes and the one kid, Alice, maybe their eye color and facial shape if we're looking into details up-close. But if we're just seeing the camps as they are, it's just a bunch of androids that can be lumped up and killed row by row. Even if they weren't as connected to their human looks, their identity still gets stripped away by making them look uniform. Yes, that is what they look like, but no, I do not mean their "humanity" when I'm referring to their "identity". I mean their individual looks that keep them from just becoming one big mass to the humans.

Additionally to that: Androids seem to have a certain connection to their skin. Think about North and the android that was the same model as her, they have been living their lifes with these skins and I honestly find it hard to imagine them not having built any kind of connection to the looks they'd gotten used to at all. And then having that be taken from them forcibly and having to see no mercy in the way the guards perceived them... That is degradation.

And last but not least: these camps are supposed to mimick concentration camps. So they did the equivalent of shaving their hair off and taking their autonomy, individuality and hope. Taking the last bit of similarity to humanity (of course not actual humanity in the case of the androids, but similarity, which is the only way these humans would've understood and not been able to ignore that they are alive too, by seeing their resemblance) any human could see in them and sending them to die. The most important part of this degradation is their death becoming inevitable and looming over them as the humans give them orders they can't fight against and the panic about the upcoming destruction rising as they're forced to do something themselves that'll move them one step closer to their death.

I've got no intention of arguing much further here though, just thought I'd share my thoughts on this too, hope you have a nice day

I just finished Detroit Become Human for the first time and I’m in desperate need to talk about it

Here's some Truman show fanart cause I recently watched that movie :)

There we go then, here's the community link, can't wait to finally get into a proper exchange with this fandom :D

Tumblr

Join Strange New Crew • Community on Tumblr

Appreciating Star Trek Strange New Worlds and sharing that with a community of nerds

Is there an SNW community thingy on Tumblr already? I think that could be quite useful, if not I'm honestly considering to just make one myself because I need to connect with y'all more effectively🧍

Give me some Star Trek character doodle requests in my asks please, maybe no specific actions and more just characters you'd like to see me doodle please I wanna do some of that rn👀

(Sherlock Holmes and such would be fine too btw, but I'm looking to figure out Star Trek some more rn)

I've watched Star Trek SNW, TNG and the 2009 movies, but feel free to request whatever if you want lol

Tried to imitate his handwriting a little but I may have just ended up writing in regular cursive🥸 I haven't written in cursive in a while though so that was interesting 🧍

3 attempts at understanding his hammer later we've finally got this lol😭 I hope I didn't overlook anything this time

Love this guy, Jayce Talis they could never make me hate you, dude is trying what he can with very little to zero actual guidance in the political position he was pushed into I hope I can get a better understanding on his character and the circumstances on my rewatch cause I was crocheting on my first watch and probably didn't catch some things lol
