Hey Boss I Can't Come In Today It's A Sunny Day And There's A Lovely Breeze Coming In Through My Window,

Random things that are canon in Sherlock BBC that we don’t talk about enough:

- Sherlock is friends with BANKSY

- Sherlock and John have played board games together in their free time (and it went to shit)

- Sherlock taught John to waltz behind closed curtains on Bakerstreet more than once AND they were caught by Mrs Hudson

- John has an alcoholic lesbian sister he doesn’t get along with

- John thinks that Sherlock is autistic

Sometimes my brain’s like “hey, here, out of nowhere, a name that’s absolutely perfect for your character!" But most times it’s like "no. nope. this one sounds ugly. this one doesn’t feel like her. this one spells ugly. this one’s nice but transliterates awfully. she doesn’t look like this one. I hate this one for no reason. This one’s good but I already have a character named like this in the same work"

Also for me it’s certainly not the single most stressful part, but it is a special kind of stress to have someone on your character list who is just a description without a name. I’m not even talking about actually writing someone yet unnamed.

why is it that naming characters is the single most stressful part of writing? i’ll spend weeks drafting intricate plots and creating entire fake histories for countries, but the moment i have to name someone, my brain is like, 'uhhhh… kevin?' i can’t have my epic fantasy hero named kevin! but then i overthink it and end up with something like arithalas drakemourn, which sounds like a bad d&d oc. there is no winning.

I love how the main characters of the prequel trilogy, the original trilogy, The Clone Wars, and Rebels can be summed up as follows:

A Lasat, a grumpy droid, a smuggler, and -deep breath- Darth Vader's son, Darth Vader's daughter, Darth Vader's droid, the droid Darth Vader built, a Wookiee who saved Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's master, Darth Vader's grandmaster, Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's wife, Darth Vader's favorite clone captain, a Jedi who fought Darth Vader, a rebel pilot whose father fought alongside Darth Vader's master, a Mandalorian whose mother fought alongside Darth Vader's padawan, a padawan who fought Darth Vader and met Darth Vader's master on Darth Vader's home planet, Darth Vader's padawan again, Darth Vader before he was Darth Vader, and Darth Vader 🤣🤣🤣

anakin please im begging you stop causing so much drama and getting so involved in everyone’s drama

Nothing will ever be as horrifying to me as Sam Vimes organizer rattling down the timeline of the fall of Ankh-Morpork and the death of the guard members, one by one, including the typically unkillable protagonists Vimes and Carrot. I can still remember the deep existential dread of then

If you think that you’re a horrible person and no one will ever love you, just remember that there are certain BrBa fans out there shipping themselves with Tuco Salamanca and he’s practically as bad a person as humanly possible

Just saw this post & remembered how much I dislike books/shows/movies named the same as the main character because when someone asks me “do you like [name]?”, I always have to reply “the character or the work?” And also the web searches & tags & stuff are always messed up

Am I the only one getting tired of shows and movies just using the name of the main character instead of coming up with something interesting? (“Ahsoka” “Obi-Wan Kenobi” etc.)

petition to rename the ahsoka show "lesbians in space accomplishing nothing for 8 hours"

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

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 just happened to me today… again

Except that it wasn’t even a lyric, it was just a vibe

*grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you* don’t EVER say it’s so over. it’s not over. There’s hope. It’s not over for the flowers that get paved over because they grow through the cracks in the concrete, stronger than ever. It’s not over for the moths on a soot-blackened tree because they will grow black wings and evade predators faster than ever. It’s not over for the tree that gets chopped down because it will survive off nutrients from its root neighbors and keep holding on. It’s not over because it’s hard. There’s hope. There’s hope. There’s hope.
