ellydwerewolf replied to your post: my cat just had a hairball on my mom’s drawing of… i feel like this post embodies the soul of tumblr, tbh
ahahaha
I love this
you’re completely right
Yes, Miss Adler
my cat just had a hairball
on my mom’s drawing of a cat
problems i have with this shitstorm of a response
how many times (in how many graphics, how many analyses, how many fics) have you seen john watson called the heart, while sherlock holmes is the brain?
tell me how many fucking times
and then come back and tell me that you don’t like the fact that joan watson is the emotion of the duo
you know, emotion, associated with the heart
tell me it makes her a weak character
to have EMOTION
go right the fuck on
YUP
pretty much perfect
You see that video up there, it’s utter bull shit. CBS had some good shows but this just killed it for me. Please leave it to BBC to continue the legacy of Sherlock Holmes.
What I just watch did not have the intellectual nor awkward sense of humor that Sherlock Holmes had. Not only that but to replace Dr. John Watson with a female? Are you serious, you replaced a member of this dynamic duo with a girl? That is just plain stupid. I’m not even considering to give this show a chance. I grew up with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. I read the books and watched some of the old shows, and the cartoons. What I’m see here, it pure
Elementary Bull Shit.Clearly, the show’s director and producer does not know who to accurately depict Sherlock Holmes. It would be a disgrace to the name Sherlock Holmes and Sir Conan Arthur Doyle if this show was put on live television.
Ahaha, I don’t think ACD (…yeah you got it backwards) would give a crap, considering his opinion of Holmes and Watson.
Dear Lord.
Don’t tag your hate.
HAHAHAHA
ahaha
AHAHAHAHA
JOHN CAN’T BE A GIRL THO
HOW WILL I GET OFF TO MY FETISHISTIC GAY FANTASIES
Like even if you want to make an actual argument about Holmes/Watson being intentional and canonical
It is still subtextual.
Subtext can be canon. But it’s STILL SUBTEXT. If you want to make that argument, and scholars have, you are still making an argument for something never confirmed in text or explicitly represented. Hell, it wouldn’t even be implicit in the typical sense. It would be SUBTEXTUAL.
Removal of ambiguous subtext is not queer erasure in the sense of removing a represented relationship because ambiguity means other readings are also valid. Okay? OKAY.
Holmes fandom, get it to-fucking-gether on this shit.
YES THIS FOR FUCK’S SAKE

HOW DARE YOU ADAPT A FILM YOU ARE CROSSING THE LINE
legit my expression right now though
wh
ut
“You just can’t put it in New York City it just doesn’t work!”
this is like the perfect example of a US anglophile.
no rationale for why it wouldn’t work
it just wouldn’t work
because England is a holy place with tea and light rain
note that Elementary is HARDLY the first modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes
The Basil Rathbone films were made in, and took place in, the 1940s. Just because it’s not the 40s anymore doesn’t discount the fact that they were modern adaptations.
And ACD is NOT rolling in his grave
because he actually hated Holmes and wanted him dead so he could get on to more important things that he wanted to write
he killed him that one time, remember?

The super villain: Andrew Scott
Andrew Scott declares his role in BBC’s Sherlock as arch-nemesis Jim Moriarty to be an absolute blast. “Every time he appears he gets great stuff to do. You get real bang for your buck.” Though Scott first made his mark in theatre – appearing in such award-winning productions as Cock and A Girl in a Car with a Man in London and in David Hare’s The Vertical Hour in New York – he has two more TV dramas coming soon. First, there’s psychological drama The Fuse, starring alongside Christopher Eccleston, for the BBC – “It’s a very human story about obsession,” he says – then an adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier’s The Scapegoat for ITV.
After that there’s the third series of Sherlock to consider – well, possibly. Any hints about the resolution of season 2’s cliffhanger, which seemed to end with the deaths of Moriarty and Holmes? “I have to remain schtum. Even my mother doesn’t know what happens.”
Favourite sitcoms?Grandma’s House and Twenty Twelve. Olivia Colman and Jessica Hynes are brilliant.
Favourite childhood show?The Muppet Show: the theme music makes me excited even now. I used to watch the drama Chocky, too. There’s something about sophisticated drama for kids – it’s just great.
Guilty pleasure?Judge Judy. It appeals to some weird side of me, I like the way she deals with idiots. I got into it when I was doing Emperor and Galilean at the NT last year. You can’t go home and watch BBC4’s The History of Desks after Ibsen.
Favourite US show?I’ve just started Mad Men. I want to be that person who watches it until 4am, but I don’t think I am.
what if
he guest starred
on Mad Men

queer girls living with straight partners are NOT living in a state of “straight privilege.” because they’re NOT STRAIGHT.
they may have passing privilege—but as others who are infinetly smarter than i am have pointed out—this is not straight up privilege—because it is a site of *oppression* (through invisibilization and erasure that affects more than just bi girls) that our social sorting strategies only allow straight/gay man/woman man/man and women/women relationships.
so yeah, i don’t know what to call it what bi girls living with straight partners are doing—but i DO know that it’s not straight privilege.
also please remember that historical non-hetero relationships are often used to out you and deny you privilege even if you’re currently in a hetero or hetero passing one.
also poly people
also sometimes people talk about who they’re attracted to, thereby losing their straight passing privilege
I hate that this is a thing that needs to be said.
Q: I was wondering, after playing Sherlock do you deduce things about people?
Benedict: I was in the middle of an interview today at the phone and somebody was dialing a number to extend the interview as a journalist talked about the second series and she put her hand forward and I saw there were scratches on it and I saw the pattern and I went “Had you been traveling with a cat recently?” and she had.SO IT’S NOT JUST US, HE’S DOING IT TOO.
aahhhahhcutie
