the book is better

Hello! You can call me Dragonfly, Phoenix, or Cats. (she/they, well over 18, queer, fanfic writer) I'm just some guy. I try my best to be a kind and conscientious person every day, but if I fuck up or say or do something insensitive, please tell me! I won't start anything or be offended. I want to be better!! Ty! This blog is mostly just reblogs, since I'm only on here intermittently; my free time is usually spent reading or writing fanfic instead. If you're interested, you can find me on: AO3 as Phoenix_of_Athena or FFN as Athena's Phoenix. I'm also on Pillowfort! DND campaign tags: cordiform, conspiracy, counterfeit, conation, corrigendum

Sherlock Holmes is a perfectly normal autistic guy with a roommate who is deeply perplexed by him.

[absolutejamer]

Sherlock Holmes demonstrates a remarkably sophisticated understanding of stimulant usage in neurodivergent individuals

[acethembo]

Something a lot of people forget about Holmes is that, because ACD was Like That, his 'relatable audience insert' Watson is actually a lot weirder than Holmes is

[byjove]

That is something that is so fun about reading the books, Watson being the narrator adds so much because you slowly realize how bizarre his perspective is and how strangely grounded a lot of Holmes’s ‘strange’ behavior is. There was something so fascinatingly wrong with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and he passed it on to his self insert.

[byjove]

I’ve said it before but most of what is ‘wrong’ with Holmes is largely understandable and a lot of what is wrong with Watson can be explained by him being a British man from the 19th century but there are just some things about Watson that make you go ‘Dude, what the fuck?’

swifties always going on the "you just hate women" defense like first of all Taylor Swift is not a woman she's an unskippable ad

[loth-caatgirl]

actually yes this needs to be kept as part of this conversation

[can-i-make-image-descriptions]

[Image ID: Tumblr tags from astroterran reading: i have a slightly nuanced opinion of taylor swift, i do think that she is an unapologetic capitalist monster who would burn her family alive if she thought it would make her 50 cents, i do think she is ultimately a creatively bankrupt hasBeen, but i do also think she gets a lot of hate for being a woman, you cannot mention her name at my workplace without 50 middle aged men instantly calling her variations of a whore /End ID]

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

I quit writing when I realized I had no desire to do all the steps to professionally publish a book. And I started writing again years later when I realized I was allowed to do things I enjoyed without a profit endgoal

You don't have to do a thing the way society says is correct

You can do it the way that is satisfying to you

I was working on my masters in secondary ed (with a teaching certificate) and my little sister was working on her teaching certificate and I watched her ACTUALLY ENJOY IT and I'm ... The fuck am I doing? I finished the degree with doing the cert part and moved in with my life. (I was also not GOOD at student teaching. That was a funny conversation with my advisor. She was like, okay so you have a few areas for improvement, and I'm like oh don't worry I realized I'm not suited to teaching. And she was like oh thank God. You figured it out on your own)

having used tumblr as a teenager is a vaccination against using tiktok today

[neurotypical-karen]

i realize you’re probably half-joking but legitimately having this level of control over what i see on my dash and not having the popularity of my posts determined by The Algorithm makes using tiktok feel like my body is fighting a Disease
