” Sophie , you’re beautiful! “

[allthecolorsofdisney]

#no but like #you don’t understand how important and meaningful sophie’s arc in this movie is #she starts out hating herself because she believes herself to be ugly and dumb#then she’s turned into an old hag and promptly loses most of her insecurities because she no longer has to care about being beautiful #then we find out the curse weakens whenever she is being strong and it shows her real self underneath #which means the curse is mostly self-inflicted and not done by the witch of the waste #sophie curses herself because it is easier for her #but because she starts to see that she is important to people and others love her #she grows out of it and finally is able to stand up for others #and break her own curse #and get some fucking shit done #sophie is my hero and my gpoy always

[mayasaura]

In the book, Sophie possess a certain kind of magical power - she makes things real by saying them. She can lay spells just by saying them. When she made hats, and she told a hat that it would make a rich young man fall in love with it, a rich young man fell in love with the woman who bought it. When she told a hat it would make some woman look beautiful, everyone knew the mayor’s wife looked positively radiant in it. It’s what drew the Witch to her hat shop in the first place.  When she cursed out a bucket of plant food, it turned to potent weed killer. When she told herself she might as well be an old woman, when she told herself she was doomed to fail, when she told herself she was plain and boring and no one would ever notice her, no one did.

When Howl tried to break the spell on Sophie, and he tried many times, he always failed. Not because his magic was less powerful than the Witch’s, but because it was less powerful than Sophie’s.

Let’s make the notes disappear y'all

[iamnotsebastianstan-archive-dea]

you know what drives me crazy? people that be standing up here saying “we need to give him the benefit of the doubt, we need to give him a chance and see how he leads”

I’m sorry, do you want the world to just fuckin…ignore the hate trail he ran as a campaign? we just what, pretend the last 18 months didn’t happen and his behaviours and attitudes and cabinet picks are not indicative of the man he is and the administration he’s going to run?

if someone treated you like shit every day at work, made your life hell, bullied you, objectified you, harassed you, and then got promoted and became your boss, do you just forget that happened because he might treat you better now he’s in charge?

nah fuck that, power doesn’t change a person for the better, it just makes the type of person they are more obvious, and idk how much more obvious it can be that he’s a hateful piece of shit, so fuck giving him a chance or the benefit of the doubt. fight back. resist. don’t ever accept this man as president. acknowledge it happened and fight to fix it, but don’t accept it. acceptance indicates something is okay, and this? absolutely isn’t.

Trump is such a loser.

MYCROFT’S KITCHEN. MYCROFT’S EMPTY FRIDGE. ALL HIS TAKEAWAY MENUS. CALL GREG, MYCROFT. YOU REALLY NEED GREG.

[kookskabooks]

Damn right you do, Mycroft.

-

Greg: “Hello?”

Mycroft: “May I order a large cheese pizza, please?”

Greg: “For fuck’s sake, Mycroft. I’ll be over in 10 minutes.”

[earlgreytea68]

Mycroft: “Such prompt delivery, Antonio’s House of Pizza.” 

Greg: “For the last time: YOU KNOW I’M NOT ANTONIO’S HOUSE OF PIZZA.” 

Mycroft: “Do you deliver wine, too?”

Greg: (sigh) “Yes.” 

Mycroft: “Maybe a nice bottle of Chianti. Not a cheap one, mind.” 

Greg: “Sure.” 

Mycroft: “Good-bye, Antonio.” 

Greg: “You’re a wanker.” 

[okaygimme]

Beautiful! And Greg arrives with red and white checkered tablecloth, wine, pizza, and Mycroft offers him a generous tip? 

[earlgreytea68]

Absolutely. :-)

mary got shot in the exact same spot as sherlock and yet she’s dead because apparently her love for john watson was not strong enough to restart her heart

[inevitably-johnlocked]

BURN

[pati79]

[archipelagoarchaea]

This isn’t really a proper meta, just something I’ve been mulling over that I thought people might be interested in. Specifically: the role of women who are attracted to either John or Sherlock, and what they symbolize.

Sarah’s the woman who gives John a chance, but quickly realizes he’s a lost cause and won’t let things get too serious. Jeanette’s the beard who learned the hard way (and probably deserved better).

More symbolically:

Molly’s the straight woman who can’t see a man’s obvious homosexuality because she wants the man for herself (wishful thinking/willful ignorance). In Jim from IT’s case the homosexuality was coded in his campiness. In Sherlock’s case, though he has a trace of camp as well, she ought to have known by his obsession with John and his disconnected, awkward way of talking about her appearance. (Writing off this obsession as friendship while assuming his interest in Irene’s case is romantic, as Molly does, is in fact very common among straight female viewers who are attracted to Sherlock.) When she can’t have Sherlock, she finds herself an obvious look-alike then gets angry when he’s not actually like Sherlock. In other words: she feels entitled to a heterosexual Sherlock. So far we haven’t seen her handle Sherlock’s lack of interest in her particularly well, but she may evolve.

Irene’s the lesbian who just needed the right man (or at least, that’s how she presented herself). She’s also the “right woman” to make Sherlock interested in women despite having never found them attractive. (Again, he’s not interested in reality.) She lies, concealing same-sex love, to draw Sherlock away from John. On a sort of meta-textual level, she’s also the woman who’s been used to straight-wash Holmes over and over again.

Mary on the other hand is heteronormative writing and queer-baiting itself. She comes out of nowhere with no actual romantic build-up (they’ve only known each other six months), yet feels entitled to John’s romantic love and commitment and isn’t even worried when the man he deeply mourned returns. She never lives up to Sherlock (e.g. not doing her fair share of the bonfire), yet still thinks she’s done enough to be the love of John’s life. She teases John about his feelings for Sherlock as if they’re a joke and sees nothing wrong with mocking Sherlock’s jealousy of both Sholto and herself. No matter how clear John’s feelings for Sherlock, or how badly she treats John, she’s never really all that concerned that she’ll lose. She’s incredibly over-confident about her hold on John. Metaphorically, this is stunningly in line with the heteronormative “oh Johnlock is just a joke” attitude toward the show.

With that in mind, I really wonder if they’ll continue the Mary = heteronormativity metaphor into S4. If so, what would that mean? Does she die when John tells her he chooses Sherlock, or attempt to reclaim him, or mock him? “You can leave me but you’ll never actually be happy with him.” Does she think John’s interest in Sherlock was not merely inferior, but also never actually romantic? Is she revealed to have a hidden homophobic streak? I don’t know, I just find the potential a bit interesting.

if you’re struggling for AU ideas take a look-see at this list i wrote for my friend who dubbed it “better than the 10 commandments" 

1)     Coffee shop AU

2)      Flower shop AU

i)       You buy a weird amount of flowers and I’m concerned as to why

ii)      I’m allergic to flowers but I work in a flower shop – you’re a customer who’s very confused as to why I’d do that

iii)     (this is also a good way to incorporate flower meanings eg, buying certain colours/types for person to represent feelings etc.)

3)      Library AU

i)       You’re overdue on this book and I want it so I’m tracking u the fuck down

ii)      I work in the library and I’m a little concerned for your health bc you never stop studying

iii)     The library’s pretty empty save for you and me and OH that couple making out loudly in the shelves somewhere

4)      Awful first time meeting

i)       I accidentally punched you in the face when I was too overexcited about something

ii)      I thought you were my friend who’s just done something awful to me (read: cut my hair while I slept, dyed all of my clothes pink, etc. etc.) because you look similar from behind so I stormed up to you and shoved you from behind while calling you an asshole

iii)     You get the gist to this one

iv)     Oooh when you told me your name I thought you were joking because it’s fucking awful and I made a joke about it and things got awkward real fucking fast (perfect for a Hannibal au just saying)

5)      Weird places to meet/awkward meetings in general

i)       We live in the same block of flats but haven’t ever talked and Sunday morning we were both doing the walk of shame and had to stand in the lift together

ii)      “okay I know that being in the woods at 2am is a weird thing to be doing but my friend called me and- wait, why are you in the woods at 2am, fuck I’m going to die aren’t I?”

iii)     A personal favourite of mine – first day at a new job and oh fuck my boss is the person I drunkenly hooked up with last weekend/night

iv)     We keep accidentally running into each other I’m not a stalker I swear

vi)     “My shower’s broken but I’ve got a date tonight could I possibly use your shower please?” “Oh sure (neighbour that I’ve been crushing on for the past six months) of course you can use my shower to get ready for your date (fuck fuck fuck)”

6)      Friends to romance – pining and all that wonderful shit

ii)      I really like you but you’re my best friend’s ex

iii)     You’ve liked me for ages and were really obvious about it and I didn’t like all the attention but now you’re over me I really miss it and fuck I think I like you too?

iv)     Somewhere along the way of getting into bar fights together, staying up all night with movie marathons, other friendship things, I’ve fallen in love with you but oh my god this could ruin EVERYTHING

v)      Friends with benefits oh wait I like you

7)      FAKE DATING HOLY SHIT I LIVE FOR THIS

i)       It’s my highschool reunion and I need a hot date so I can rub it in the faces of the people who hated me

ii)      My homophobic parents are coming to visit will you pretend to date me as an extra “fuck you”?

iii)     There’s a person who won’t stop bugging me will you pretend to be my partner so that they’ll fuck off?

iv)     I told my sister I have a boyfriend so she’d stop trying to set me up with people but now she’s coming to visit and I’m in too deep I need a fake boyf ASAP

8)      Soulmate aus

i)       The first words your true love(s) will say to you are tattooed on you and why the fuck are their first words something really ridiculous like ‘I’ll pay you a tenner to punch me in the face’ or ‘quick what’s your favourite animal’ or ‘fucking shit hell holy fuck wow oh my god jesus h Christ fuck me’ etc. or even worse a really ridiculous song lyric like  the opening lines of uptown funk or a high school musical song or smthing did you have to serenade me the first time you saw me asshole?

ii)      You get an ‘impression’ of your soulmate when you turn 18 or something but all I got was a strong smell of bananas or an overwhelming feeling that Thatcher was a good prime minister or an image in my mind of a fucking unicorn

iii)     The more ridiculous the better actually

iv)     Something like whenever your soulmate sings a duet you can’t help but join in and my fucking soulmate is in a goddamn band but I can’t sing for shit

v)      Or maybe something like soulmates always sneeze at the same time and I cant be sure but me and this kid in my French class just sneezed at the same time are we soulmates or was it a coincidence (proceed w character trying to make themselves sneeze around said person to see what’s what)

9)      Alternate universes for real

i)       Mermaids

ii)      Siren and asexual pirate who doesn’t understand why all his crew are losing their shit that person has a nice voice sure but what the fuck is happening

iii)     Hogwarts

iv)     We live in a world where the greek gods are real and you went and got yourself cursed and now I have to go on a fucking quest to sort this shit out why do I love you again?

v)      Pacific rim au (either they’re drift compatible or one of them is a ranger and the other stresses constantly bc what if they die yes I have read a fic like this no I didn’t come up with this one but it’s fucking good) (also if you haven’t seen that film go watch it now)

vi)     Literally any movie or book universe you like tbh just go for it

10)   Other aus that I like

i)       I wanted to go on the ferris wheel but there has to be two people to a cart come on random person let’s go oh wait are we stuck at the top? Fuck

ii)      We work in the same office and you have a goddamn squeaky chair and you wONT FUCKING STOP SQUEAKING IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT ANNOYS ME

iii)     Our mutual friend set us up on a blind date and I thought I’d hate it but you’re actually… kind of funny? But because I expected to hate it in no way am I going to let you change my mind just because you’re gorgeous and funny and intelligent oh no my friend is not winning this

iv)     It started to snow and I’m the only one of our friends who would go outside with you – I soon found out why none of the others would go out in the snow with you (this works best if they’re new friends who don’t know each other all that well) when you shoved a handful of snow down my back and declared snow war

v)      It’s nowhere near Christmas it’s literally still November would you calm down about Christmas wait no why are you getting the tree out no stop please stop (if you do this pre-relationship you can have the grouchy one secretly finding the other’s excitement endearing and falling in love with them actually that works for established relationship too)

vi)     Current partner got a new job in America (or other country far away) and we’re getting by on skype calls and emails but it’s not easy and then I met someone new (can be poly or can be finding the OTP person)

vii)   You want us both to get in shape and I hate working out/running but your ass looks really good in shorts oh the things I do for my friends and their nice asses

viii)  Carrying on from 10.vii. you’ve caught me checking you out in what I thought was a subtle way too many times and now you’re calling me out on it what do I do???

ix)     You’re an actor/other famous person that I really admire and I just saw you in the street and as I was debating whether or not to say hi you came up to me and started flirting what do I do??

x)      You were waving at your friend behind me but I got confused and waved back at you and now I’m dying of embarrassment but you think it’s cute

xi)     I sat down in the wrong class and I’m panicking but don’t want to get up and leave because the class has started and you think it’s hilarious and shut up you dumb fuck you don’t know me aahhh

xii)   I’m a waiter at this wedding and you’re a drunk guest who will not stop hitting on me please I’m trying to work no I can’t dance with you omg let me find you some water

xiii)  Our best friends are that awful ‘cute’ couple that make-out in public and call each other “sweetie” and “sugar” and “babe” and god they’re awful let’s talk about how awful they are – develops into “shit we’re the awful couple now”

xiv)  You pissed me off in class so I threw a book at your head and now I’m in detention and jesus fuck I hate you so much and the teacher made me apologise and wait you’re cuter up close and the way you talk is kind of nice actually oh fuck no

when you find an author that writes your otp with the ideal dynamic

[jonnyluvssherlock]

when you read all the fic’s they have written and it’s not enough!

[sourwolfsam]

Gryffindors are bright mornings, leaves dripping in gold. They’re the trailblazers, unafraid of the road ahead. They’re laughing so loud your stomach hurts, the knowledge that your friends are right behind you wherever you go. They’re ice skating with someone you love, clinging on to them for dear life. They’re make-believe games with quests and dragons and swords pointing at the sky. They’re rosy cheeks, winter winds and freezing hands. They’re the adrenaline when a plane takes off, the drop at the top of a rollercoaster. They’re delighted screams and freedom, the wind through your hair. They’re panting, pillow fights, feathers bursting into the air. They’re finger painting and festivals and burning sunsets. They’re the burn in your lung after chasing something you’ll never be able to catch. 

Hufflepuffs are honey and flowers and the soft autumn sun. They’re knitted jumpers and scarves and soft tan boots. They’re fresh air and nature, the sound of birds singing. They’re rolling down a hill in the spring, grass stains on your knees, daisy chains in your hair. They’re waving at someone across a crowded room, bright smiles and laughter. They’re coming home after a long day and seeing your family. They’re playing fetch with your dog, your cat weaving between your feet. They’re fluffy socks and song birds and kraft notebooks with hand drawn patterns. They’re throw cushions on a bed, a tiny cottage surrounded by wilderness. They’re the ground beneath your feet, the air that you breathe. They’re the light you chase when you thought you’d never see the morning. 

Ravenclaws are leather bound books and overstocked libraries. They’re waking up at two am to google that thing that’s bugging you. They’re journals with half the words crossed out, scribbles and ink stains and missing pages. They’re stretching when you’ve been hunched over all day, rolling off the edge of a bed, burrowing in blankets. They’re torch light and held breaths and reverent whispers. They’re the entire night sky and everything beyond it; the embodiment of the universe. They’re desperate searches and hidden castles and ghost stories by firelight. They’re the mystery of a dark corridor, the force of a whirlwind. They’re the excitement of discovery, the rustle of crunched up paper. They’re the last whisper before you fall asleep. 

Slytherins are foggy hillsides and picturesque landscapes. They’re hand written love notes and subtle glances across a classroom. They’re black boots, long coats, buttons done up to the top. They’re tipping your head back to breathe the air, kicking up stones on a deserted path. They’re mirrored lakes, everything below the surface. They’re the confidence to get something right, the feel of magic in your fingertips. They’re holding your breath underwater, pretending to be a mermaid when you swim. They’re finding that one song that makes you want to create a storm. They’re the chill in the breeze, the force in the tide. They’re enchanted forests and lingering glances and long drives. They’re the lightning and the thunder and everything in between. 

[sadieb798]

It'd reflect the Kíliel moment as well. Like if it was directed correctly it could show the real good paralels of the tragic romance and show M/M on the same line as M/F =D And doubly broken my heart as Bilbo shakes him and kisses him and begs him to come back to them all. Compare the raw emotion of Bilbo's loss to the confused uncertain sudden pain of Tauriels. It'd have to be done right so as to not look Samey -- but it could be SO POWERFUL and FEELSY

OH MY GOD WE COULD HAVE HAD THIS AND MARTIN IS SUCH A FANTASTIC ACTOR THAT HE WOULDN’T EVEN BE A DRAMATIC SHAKING JUST LIKE IMAGINE REICHENBACH TIMES A THOUSAND BECAUSE IT’S BILBO AND HE DID NOT MAKE DEALS WITH ELVES AND TRAVEL THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF MILES TO FOLLOW THIS STUBBORN DWARF FOR HIM TO DIE RIGHT THERE ON THE BATTLEFIELD WHY WHY WHY

[mrsmarymorstan]

Imagine if it was the shouts of Bilbo echoing through the mountain range that bring everyone. As he rages and bellows for Thorin to stop what he’s doing and come back to him. Shaking his lifeless and still body, that same small happy smile on Thorin’s face never moving as Bilbo does everything to try and get another reaction. To have Throin scowl at him again. 

He used to think he’d give everything to see Thorin smile, now he’ll give up everything to see it go away.
