Jane-of-almost-all-trades - …master Of None, Better Than Master Of One (I Hope)

Thanks to the person who introduced me to the fandom, I’ve only seen the extended versions of LOTR movies and I refuse to watch the shorter versions. Like, voluntarily depriving myself of a part of the cool stuff? That’s crazy.

(yes, the movies are too long to watch in one sitting. It may be just me or it may be a lot of people, I don’t know. But I’d rather pause it and continue on the next day than just… shorten it. I’m doing it for my own pleasure, after all)

This is exactly why I keep telling people:

Read. Terry. Pratchett. Books.

And if you already have… well, reread them after a good while to have a new understanding of them.

Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just: Here's a funny little joke Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept Here's a unique and well written simile Here's a lil guy Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

Reblog if you're black tumblr.

You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and your for us.

There's nothing wrong with Irene/Sherlock. It's just as valid and just as "canon" as your dumb Johnlock shit. Johnlock stans are annoying as fuck.

This asks feels like I made a time travel into tumblr 2014… so where to start?

First all: I am absolutely not against people shipping Irene and Sherlock. What i AM angry about is that we have 2025 and with every new adaptation announced Irene is once again the love interest. A woman who never met Sherlock face to face, a woman who is only featured in ONE story out of 56 stories and 4 books. A woman who is happily married and ran away with the man she loved. A woman who is now Irene Norton.

Where is the same energy for Sherlock x Voilet, or Sherlock x Kitty? Both women who knew Sherlock personal, btw. Instead of Irene who never meet him without a disguise.

Aren’t Irene fans mad that with every new adaptation announced Irene is yet again a love interest? Aren’t Irene fans mad that Irene never gets her true story told? A story where she outsmarted Sherlock? A story where she didn’t needed Sherlock? A story where she found happiness and was her own hero?

If you ask the Dracula fandom, all of them are certainly mad that Mina always gets paired up with Dracula, even though she is happily married to Jonathan. Where is the same energy within the ACD fandom?

Also why are johnlock fans mad? Well John and Sherlock were also never a couple in the OG books, that’s correct, but in contrast to Irene and Sherlock they lived together for years, and solved 60 crimes together.

But somehow we live in 2025 (!) and producers still find it more logical to pair up Sherlock with a woman he meet four times (three times he was in a disguise, one time she was), he was her best man at her wedding to the man she loved… he helped her to elope with the man she loved…. Instead of idk… let him fall in love with the man he shared his live with

Idc if you ship Sherlock with Molly, Irene, violet, kitty… but I am so frustrated by the sexism and homophobia.

Hope that cleared it up

I’m too lazy to list all my fandoms so you’ll just have to figure them out from my posts, comments, or whatever your mind-reading powers can pick up

Oh, look who finally changed her profile pic from the heavily-associated-with-bots-default Random Shape with a Bad Colour Scheme to something (a Random Little Doodle of a Togruta) that works better as a placeholder until I find The Perfect Profile Picture.

I outgrew Harry & Ron & Hermione… And Alisa Seleznyova… And the Pevensies… And Kalle Blomkvist…

*sheds a tear*

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

oh, the irresistible feminine urge to read six totally different books at the same time

Really, what is canon? There’s just a bunch of movies, shows, books, comics and games of different levels of coolness and some of them contradict each other and sometimes it’s two equally cool versions that contradict each other, so what’s the point of all this? There can be more than one well-written, logical, satisfying story about the same characters in the same universe, and they’re all there for us to enjoy.

Arguments about what's canon and what's not in SW fandom are kinda pointless, I know for a fact that every fan has their personal frankensteined version of canon based on what's best for their own blorbos. I love picking up a random licensed book to sneer at half of its ideas and then steal the rest. Some shows and books and comics and whole movies are simply not incorporated into my belief system. That's how we roll
