Also The Horrible Sensation Of Your Nails Being Filed (don't Know If That's The Correct Word)

I don’t exactly know how to say it, but..... society doesn’t seem to realize that anger is an emotion. I mean most of the time we are told to stop being so emotional and the immediat response is, to stop showing vulnerability and replacing it with anger. When men tell women (or when women tell men or men tell men...etc.) that they are to emotional, most of the time they do it in an angry way. Anger seems to be generally viewed as acting strong and not emotional, which is weird because anger is probably one of the strongest emotions you can feel. 

I don’t know if that makes sense to anyone, but the whole concept of anger being more socially acceptable than sadness, or literally anything else is just wild to me.

Ok first of all here is the A: LGBTQIA+. And you're telling me it's only about lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people? So you're also excluding pansexuals, intersex people, omnisexuals etc? Even if you refuse to put an A in your acronym there's still a + for other orientations... And what are inclusies? People, who include other people? That's a bad thing?

Sorry, I totally forgot that I wanted to respond to that and left this in my drafts.

Dear exclusionists and gatekeepers please explain:

You say aspec people don't belong in the LGBTQIA+ community because we are are "not oppressed enough" or "basically straight" but then proceed to say that the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for ally. Like WTF?! Allys most of the time are cishet people. They are straight, they aren't oppressed based on their sexuality in any way and you say they are part of the community and we aren't?! Please explain I don't get it.

I just wanted to let anyone know who would be interested - I worked on the charachter designs on Hearth & Holmes, a game currently in development by @abigailmoment ! If your curiosity is peaked, you can play the demo, and wishlist it on steam!

You are John Watson. You're very worried about your best friend, Sherlock Holmes. You're right to be worried. Left to his own devices, he'll

RIP Sherlock Holmes you would have loved Lindsey Stirling

Same in German. I mean for the original stories and adaptions set in Victorian England it would kind of make sense since even family members once addressed each other with the formal version of 'you', although I'm not sure if we hadn't moved past this already in the late 1800s. But for all modern adaptions, this translation makes absolutely no fucking sense. I mean come on, you can't tell me that BBC Sherlock and John who were on a FIRST NAME BASIS would have addressed each other with formal 'you' (Sie) instead of 'you' (Du) until John's wedding?! Elementary's translation is even worse in that way because Joan and Sherlock address each other with Sie (formal you) until the very last episode. I mean please, they tell each other that they love one another let them say "du" (normal/informal you)

Lowkey hate how in Russian Sherlock Holmes translations (and, by extension, in adaptations in Russian, and in, like, the whole cultural tradition in general) Holmes and Watson use formal "you" with each other. It's, like, a whole Thing, seen as a something emblematic of book canon. And it doesn't really make sense!!! Yes they use last names but that was just the normal etiquette at the time even with close friends, and it's not like you have nothing to extrapolate from in Russian, because people also mostly used last names here at the time, and they did very much combine it with the informal you with their friends! There's tons of examples??? It was absolutely the done thing! Whooooo decided to translate Holmes and Watson like that >:(((

Concept: Garak meeting Data. At first, Garak is curious about this android Julian speaks so highly of, hoping for some delightful literature debate. The moment Data walks into view, however, and Data says, "I am eager to spend my shore leave here on the station" Garak gets distracted by the fact that Data is spending his shore leave in his uniform. Naturally, Garak invites Data to his shop to find him something a little more casual and fashionable to wear, but that proves an impossible challenge: Data simply does not style. Garak can find clothes that suit him, that accentuate his skin tone (and then de-accentuate it when Data requests so in an effort to look more human), and he can find styles that suit Data's body type... but none of that changes the fact that Data wears clothes the same way the average person chooses a padd to work with: with no regard for aesthetic whatsoever. Being an android, he has no concept of personal style, and is equally comfortable working clothed or nude, and only wears clothes because of social expectation. Therefore, no matter what Garak styles him in, it ends up looking bland and drab, because Data never really feels the clothes he wears or takes pride in the cut or the make or how it looks on him or any of it.

Finally, Data finds something that he wants to wear, and worse, it's not even from his shop (but then, of course not: Garak would die before allowing a fashion monstrosity like that to come into existence with his own hands). The item of clothing in question: The most hideous cat-print breezy beach shirt Garak has even seen, in a horrid kitchen wall yellow that puts all of Julian's fashion crimes to shame. And then, to top it all off, the yellow brings out Data's eyes nicely, and he enjoys wearing it because the cat on the print reminds him of Spot... which means he looks good in it.

Garak visits sickbay with several fractured knuckles on his right hand, and Julian jokingly asks: "Did you punch a bulkhead?" Garak laughs, but Miles mentions having to repair an odd fist-shaped dent in the bulkhead in Garak's shop, and makes the same joking remark: "I didn't take Garak for a punching a bulkhead kind of guy, but I don't know how else it could have happened."

Suddenly, his joke doesn't seem like much of a joke.

Reblog if you think that relationships don't have to include sex to be considered romantic. Trying to prove a point.

Let me introduce you to Peter Cushing, the Holmes actor that looks insanely similar to the Sidney Paget illustrations!

out of curiosity what's the legal age for buying/ drinking alcohol in your country?

Today’s entry in ‘Sherlock Holmes being very sweet and empathetic, actually,’ we have this passage from The Engineer’s Thumb.

(For context, this man has just shown up at Watson’s clinic with his thumb missing, and after cleaning and bandaging the wound, Watson takes him to Holmes)

“He [Holmes] settled our new acquaintance upon the sofa, placed a pillow beneath his head, and laid a glass of brandy and water within his reach.

‘It is easy to see that your experience has been no common one, Mr. Hatherley,’ said he. ‘Pray lie down there and make yourself absolutely at home. Tell us what you can, but stop when you are tired, and keep up your strength with a little stimulant.’”

He’s so comforting and hospitable to this man, knowing that he’s just received a traumatic injury. Instead of the impatience that he usually has for clients being slow, he recognizes that, yeah, the dude might need a minute after, y’know, GETTING HIS THUMB CUT OFF.

And THAT is Sherlock Holmes. Sure, he can be rude, petty, and abrasive, but he has a deep kindness that shows when it counts.
