I’m burning up. I’m at the bottom of pit and I’m still falling, and I’m never getting out.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

This is the most inspirational thing I've read all week. Possibly all year

Can I just take a moment to say how incredible the Sherlolly community is? I have had a full wake up call in another fandom, and I have quickly realised I have been lucky to be in the BEST little corner of fandom since starting writing for Sherlock and Molly 5 years ago. Yes not everything is perfect anywhere and there are always individuals everywhere who try to bring a fandom space or community down (lord knows this fandom knows that!), but here it’s never been a defining feature of the experience, to me. I am sending love to you all - I’ve always been grateful for the experience of being in this community, but now it’s even more special to me. You lot are awesome 💝❤️

Was looking for something soppy but then I saw this and it gave me a much needed giggle so I went for it 😆🤣

All my Sherlock TfL posters, 26 in total.

I’m thinking about having them printed in A4. I also plan to publish two A6 postcardbooks that will contain 13 different motifs each. Prints and postcardbooks are going to be available at my storenvy.

[khorazir]

Prints and postcardbooks are available now:

set of all 26 motifs (only five available)

TfL Postcardbook #1 (contains 13 motifs)

TfL Postcardbook #2 (contains the other 13)

single A4 prints

pros of having a favorite character youve liked for over a decade: character brings you joy and excitement

cons of having a favorite character youve liked for over a decade: they have become a permanent part of your internal monologue and you cant get them to go away

[modernbluem]

ok fine i’ll go write my book because at this point my characters have probably been standing in the same scene for three weeks wondering why their deeply undisciplined author abandoned them mid-plot.

[englandsgray]

Characters quite pleased their deeply undisciplined author left them sat on a sofa weeks ago but somewhat concerned by said author’s search history containing ‘what might cause a helicopter to crash?’

A (random) moment for these guys, with whom my FYP is suddenly and inexplicably obsessed, purely because the first fanfic I ever wrote was a rambling ode to how much I adored them at 11 years old 😆🥰🥰

What’s the point? I needed a hug.
