PSA: Writing a book can take a looooong time. If you've been working on your project for a year, two years, five years... you're not doing anything wrong. If you've written three drafts and thrown them all away, if you can only write a hundred words a day, if you put your book down for six months and pick it up again only to be baffled by what you've written... Congratulations. You're not inefficient or slow. You're just a writer. Welcome to the writing life.
oh, the irresistible feminine urge to read six totally different books at the same time
There's nothing wrong with Irene/Sherlock. It's just as valid and just as "canon" as your dumb Johnlock shit. Johnlock stans are annoying as fuck.
This asks feels like I made a time travel into tumblr 2014… so where to start?
First all: I am absolutely not against people shipping Irene and Sherlock. What i AM angry about is that we have 2025 and with every new adaptation announced Irene is once again the love interest. A woman who never met Sherlock face to face, a woman who is only featured in ONE story out of 56 stories and 4 books. A woman who is happily married and ran away with the man she loved. A woman who is now Irene Norton.
Where is the same energy for Sherlock x Voilet, or Sherlock x Kitty? Both women who knew Sherlock personal, btw. Instead of Irene who never meet him without a disguise.
Aren’t Irene fans mad that with every new adaptation announced Irene is yet again a love interest? Aren’t Irene fans mad that Irene never gets her true story told? A story where she outsmarted Sherlock? A story where she didn’t needed Sherlock? A story where she found happiness and was her own hero?
If you ask the Dracula fandom, all of them are certainly mad that Mina always gets paired up with Dracula, even though she is happily married to Jonathan. Where is the same energy within the ACD fandom?
Also why are johnlock fans mad? Well John and Sherlock were also never a couple in the OG books, that’s correct, but in contrast to Irene and Sherlock they lived together for years, and solved 60 crimes together.
But somehow we live in 2025 (!) and producers still find it more logical to pair up Sherlock with a woman he meet four times (three times he was in a disguise, one time she was), he was her best man at her wedding to the man she loved… he helped her to elope with the man she loved…. Instead of idk… let him fall in love with the man he shared his live with
Idc if you ship Sherlock with Molly, Irene, violet, kitty… but I am so frustrated by the sexism and homophobia.
Hope that cleared it up
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

Imagine being a feared drug lord that orders the death of children, threatens infant daughters, poisons the Cartel, and runs a huge meth dealing operation and the moniker your rivals know you as is "Chicken Man."
Reblog and put in the tags how you would die if your URL predicted your death
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"
you know how people say soup is round and so it's messed up to put it in a square tupperware? that's how I feel every time I see a square watch
