Why do such wonderful things attract such shitty fans?
Dear Sherlock fans, stfu. Stick to making pretty graphics and just /stop talking/. Or at least think before you talk. Watson is an iconic character. Watson is not an iconic character because of the way s/he looks. Lucy can definitely make an excellent Watson. If they decide to sabotage Joan Watson, that will have nothing to do with the fact...

I like Lucy Liu, and I’m pleased they’re casting a WOC as Watson because TV NEVER does that, but I’m worried they’re just doing this so they can slap them together while avoiding homoeroticism or, heaven forbid, gay people.

in my experience network television rarely ever shies away from homoerotic subtext between two white male...

squintyoureyes:

Another key change: Sherlock and Watson now live in...

Why do WOMEN feel the need to defend the character...
fuckno-asoiaffandom:
In politically aware times of today with women as prime ministers and CEOs why so much love for a noble born princess who dreams away her future? It might be interpreted as absolutely conservative image of women if a guy rooted for the fairy tale princees why do women feel the need for it, biting away everyone who disagrees. Two centuries of feminist politics have...

I mean Kataang was so cloying, if they called each other ‘Sweetie’ one more time… It all just seemed so… superficial and fake and showy.
And Zuko doesn’t even tell Mai when he’s going away. I like Maiko, I think it’s a lot better developed than Kataang, which, well, oogies. All the oogies. I…

watermeloncholy:
I was a tomboy when I was a kid because I had an older brother and didn’t really understand that we weren’t the same. I was occasionally reprimanded (by my old school scarily religious grandmothers) for running around barefoot, climbing trees, getting dirty, blah blah blah, but I often got away…

and especially of depression, because it’s like, depression is, I feel, my BIGGEST OBSTACLE to productivity and creative self-expression.
Like, if I had to write a song while in a depressive episode, it would go:
I’m not getting up
I’m not getting up
fuck you
I’m not getting up
that’s my song.
And certainly, mental illness...

I am so fucking tired of feeling so tired and so scared and so fucking paralysed all the fucking time.
It makes sense, it really does, the whole ‘don’t listen to those stories’ thing. But when everything I do just proves them right it’s really hard to pretend they’re just bits of useless mind gunk.
And even if it’s just a weapon, well, it’s almost as...
