Land of Shits and Giggles
Sometimes I reblog things, sometimes I draw things, and sometimes I write dumb rants about dumb ranty things. Sometimes my posts are fandom-related, sometimes they're original-work-related, and sometimes they're life-related. Sometimes my posts are serious and sometimes they're silly.
There is not a lot of consistancy to this blog.

It’s called swagbending.

My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…
Pluto is there.
The artist remembered Pluto.
Guys…
The artist drew Pluto crying.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
it’s nothing personal.
it’s just that Meenah is better than you in every conceivable way.
There’s this really cute aromantic themed comic on Tumblr but I can’t reblog it. So here’s a link.
What speed do you read at? (Remember, it’s not a race!)
PS: photo-reply is turned on :)
jesusfuck what
I knew I was fast
but
not that fast
I will swear to my dying day that this is a really inaccurate test. It was only a tiny sample of text, so you can’t reasonably extrapolate from something that small. A longer test (like three or more pages or something. I wanna say ten but then some people are slow-ass readers and don’t want to do things for that amount of time? iunno) would probably give a more accurate result.
and also I read significantly slower when I’m reading for my own enjoyment, because then I use my brain and think critically about what I read and sometimes I have to go back and re-read parts to double-check something.
but still
jesusfuck what
[…] try to imagine fandom’s reaction if the next big Holmes adaptation to come along had Holmes and Watson as British, yeah - young black British men, living case to case on a council estate in a dodgy area of London. How fandom would react if Sherlock Holmes didn’t employ street kids and homeless people like trained animals to do his bidding, but instead was part of that invisible underclass; if instead of having his eccentricities tolerated~ by Scotland Yard on account of being the Great White Genius, Sherlock Holmes, BME, school dropout, and sometime addict, was regarded by the police as practically a criminal already, one more thug, one more junkie, one more dealer in the making. If he had to choose between buying the week’s groceries or palming a twenty to a bored constable for the chance to spend five minutes on a crime scene, in the hope that whoever’s under enough pressure to deal with crime rates in the neighbourhood will pay him enough for a perp to feed himself and Watson for a month or two. If the greatest threat to his safety were police brutality, or the prospect of being done for a snitch; if his arch enemy weren’t Moriarty, but the systemic poverty and inequality that has him helping out his oppressors just to get by, and that makes the other side of the law look more tempting to someone with his skills every day.
I would watch the hell out of that. I’d even write for it. What do you do with Mycroft being part of the “Establishment” then? Mycroft works at the local youth center? Mycroft as a pastor, deeply disapproving of his brother’s failure to reject street culture and conform? Hell, Mycroft IS the police? Token affirmative-action face of colour, should have made DI ages ago but is still a PC even though half the force secretly ask his help? And because they resent Mycroft, they resent Sherlock even more, fueling the rivalry? Lestrade can stay a DI, with the authority to choose to work with either Holmes but not enough authority to force everyone else to do so.
I’m curious to see how Mrs Hudson and Moriarty would work in this.
Holy fuck this would be truly awesome. Mrs Hudson could be a nice woman who occasionally makes the boys a meal or offers up a warm bed during severe weather. And Moriarty, fuck. He could be like a well-to-do man who previously was in Sherlock’s situation. He somehow moved on from that kind of life, and sees a lot of himself in Sherlock actually, but hates for that reminder. Wants to take Sherlock down, put him back in his place.
Shit, this would be bloody brilliant.
