Pros-and-cons of Sherlock and Elementary, rebloggable by request
Something that I really wanted to add about Elementary v. Sherlock that’s really important to remember when keeping them both in the context of the books is the characterisation of Holmes;
In canon, Holmes was not an asshole. He sometimes screwed up, because he’s peculiar and brilliant and has a bit (ha ha) of an ego, but if he offended someone he cares about (not just Watson, but clients & near-strangers who didn’t deserve the abuse), he regrets it.
He has a massive heart; it’s half the reason he solves crimes.
- Sherlock doesn’t seem to even touch Sherlock’s humanity outside of John.
- Elementary handles it brilliantly. Sherlock has a heart, and while he often steels himself, he is very much human. And when Sherlock screws up, Watson holds him accountable for it.

one thing I will never understand is how normal people are unaffected by movies or books I mean when they watch a movie or finish a book they say “well that was a good movie/book” and they move on while I have an existentional crisis and question the whole universe

She was an exquisite painter. She made her living restoring Renaissance paintings for art museums. She travelled extensively because of her work. She was…highly intelligent, optimistic about the human condition. Usually consider it a sign of stupidity but with Irene it seemed…almost convincing. She was, to me, The Woman. To me, she preclipsed and predominated the whole of her gender. The only one I ever—
#HE RECOGNIZES HER PAINTING BEFORE HE EVEN SEES HER #IT’S ON HIS STUPID FACE #BYE #elementary #to me she was simply the woman #i’m gonna be all over this
HE DOES, AND HIS FACE. HIS HANDS. THE WAY HE REACHES OUT TO THE PAINTINGS AS THOUGH EACH OF THEM IS HER.

Highgarden Castle is the seat of House Tyrell, regional capital of the Reach and heart of chivalry in the Seven Kingdoms. Margaery Tyrell describes the castle as having groves and fountains, shady courtyards, and marble colonnades. It is filled with singers, pipers, fiddlers and harpers. The stables have a fine selection of horseflesh, and there are pleasure boats to sail along the Mander. (x)

i hate unpaid internships so fucking much
- unpaid internships exploit college graduates, most of whom have exorbitant student loans, into working 30-40 hours weeks for no pay
- at which time they start owing massive amounts of interest on their student loans
- they often don’t have time to search for other jobs
- it’s really only practical for wealthy people whocan afford to work without pay to make their resumes look prettier and network (again without pay) to get a job
- under the vain hopes that they’ll get hired at that company after their internship is up
- which frequently does not happen
- or to bolster their resume so some other company will hire them
- and if they do get a job at that company the company now doesn’t have to pay for their job training, which they’re legally allowed to do
- all of which is unconstitutional because it’s fucking illegal to make someone work for no pay
- it’s in the thirteenth amendment
so why is my generation living at home?
because no one will fucking hire and pay them a living wage that will cover rent and food and their student loans, that they have to pay because in order to get that unpaid internship in the first place they have to attend a university that is costing them between $35,000-$60,000 a year
and the debt for those loans is the only type of debt in this country that is unforgivable
that’s right even if you declare bankruptcy and have nothing left, you will still owe your student loans
so in conclusion
fuck everything in this broken system
and also pay your employees
thank
There is a leak in my face now, because all of this is the most accurate, and this is a very touchy subject for me, especially given the internship I just finished, at which I had almost no supervision or guidance, certainly none of the mentorship I was promised in the interview, and during which I completed a couple of really significant projects, things the company would otherwise have paid for.
I AM SO SICK TO DEATH OF INTERNING. I am so sick to death of applying for MORE internships because no one is willing to entry-level little old me (even though I have held down a full-time job before and am now working to finish my master’s degree) and NOT GETTING THOSE because there is SO MUCH COMPETITION out there because NO ONE WANTS TO HIRE ENTRY-LEVEL PEOPLE.
I am terrified that I will NEVER get out of this incredible mountain of debt I’ve accumulated since graduating from college, going to work full-time, being laid off from that startup when it collapsed after just a little more than a year of working there, job hunting, finally going to graduate school, PAYING for graduate school…
I just want to buy a house/condo/whatever and raise perfect puppies and cook delicious food for the rest of my life. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK.

75 Years of Lois Lane: A Chat with Bryan Q. Miller
I have tears in my eyes.
(via careful-sweetheart)
The best thing to me, among so many quotable best things, is Bryan validating what I’ve always thought: that the AUs where Clark loses everything he stands for when Lois dies is an affront to not only Clark, but to the very memory of who Lois is. She has always been his embodiment of humanity, the best that humanity has shining through her, and he is inspired, yes, inspired by her and who she is.
