black, two sugars

ready for heteronormativity to be shattered and for two men to kiss. hello. f-20-tjlc • (she/her) • ca.

[hellaholmes-blog]

so, the johnlock kiss. don’t get me wrong, i’m more than thrilled for the kiss.

but i’m also looking forward to the moment after the kiss. what’s that gonna be like? blushing and giggling? both grinning like idiots? can’t stop smiling? “now people will definitely talk”? will they act a little shy? will they even know what to say to each other? or will they be too breathless to even say anything at all and just rely on facial expressions and intense eye contact for communication? anyway i Cannot wait

[hellaholmes-blog]

also this still gets notes??????

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history. 

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.

and it took ALL of me to not SCREAM that SHERLOCK and JOHN WERE IN LOVE, it is so BLATANT throughout the WNTIRE EPISODE. it is s o blatant i'm not ok. Sherlock literally starts his heart up. For John™. and people still don't SEE IT howwwWWWWWWW

[hellaholmes-blog]

i knew i should've stayed home from class, today we watched his last vow and i knew it was going to be too emotional for me, i have such a huge headache, my class started defending mary and i tried arguing against it but I can't talk in a classroom so it came out as so incoherent, she cut me off as I was about to explain that magnussen called the cops and not mary, I just UGH

[beloved-child-of-the-house]

the importance of watson isn’t that he’s useful. he’s important because he LOVES holmes and holmes loves him. whether he’s a crack shot or good in a fist fight or doctors ppl up real nice is beside the point. he doesn’t need to bring good detective skills to the table. that’s not why holmes wants him around. and watson doesn’t hang around with holmes just because he wants someone to oooh and ahhh at. they enjoy each other. they support each other. they love each other. that’s that.

sherlock looking at john ⇢ the sign of three

[wammysrunaways]

Based on this wonderful post:

Plot Twist: Sherlock and John are totally gay and hopelessly in love, but everybody assumes they’re just friends.

This came up on my facebook feed and I am so excited to see how generation Xers and Baby Boomers will find a way to use this to shit on millenials anyways

[m4ge-deactivated20210331]

nice okay we’re off to a good start

[m4ge-deactivated20210331]

oh boy do i have something to tell you about millennials, working, and debt that’s gonna absolutely blow your socks off

[m4ge-deactivated20210331]

[onlyblackgirl]

Why old people so mad.

[witchtimez]

It’s funny because millennials can pretty much multitask like it’s second nature simply because it’s necessary to keep up with society, while baby boomers whine about reading subtitles and can’t seem to program anything more complicated than a VCR.

But sure, ok, the kids are lazy and have entitlement complexes

[decrystallize]

Older Generations: -Make comics about kids not knowing how books work-

Millenials: -Read more books than anyone else-

Older Generations: …no we changed our minds reading a lot is lazy and entitled now

[natural--blues]

I had a professor, way older, talk at a great length about how his generation is more well read than Millenials. When it was brought up that our generation reads more, he literally came out of nowhere with “Well, that’s not the point. See, my generation was better informed. You kids don’t know what it is to actually sit down and read for information. This generation is the least informed of any previous generation! Other generations sat and read, listened to the radio for information. There’s access, but are any of you *actually* informed? No. If I wanted to know what happened in Finland to make it a country, I would go to the library, speak to another human being, and check out books to read on the subject. We were happy to do it.”

A girl a few seats behind me goes, “Bullshit. If I want to know that, I can Google that in a few seconds depending on my signal. I can youtube or Netflix a documentary on Finnish History. I can listen to podcasts made by Scandinavian historians. I can use Duolingo to get a better than basic understanding of the language, and use Amazon same-day to get a book in my hand by my last class of the day, delivered to the class. I can order Finnish food on my ubereats app, find a language partner chat app to video with people in Helsinki, use Google Earth to visit, patronise interactive museums, and stream the most popular films from the country *right now*. If I so desire I can take an opensource course from a highly accredited university about the same subject and apply to study abroad with a trusted program with the click of a button. I can use Tinder to find me someone there to get some with, I can buy plane tickets and find a top rated hotel for a good price with great reviews and stream their local radio stations with an app. I can buy train tickets, bus tickets and rent a car. We aren’t less informed. We just don’t learn things we don’t give a shit about or need just to say we did all smug about it. Stop sneering at us for the access your generation dreamed of giving us actually happening just because your old ass doesn’t know how to use it.”

me trying to explain bbc sherlock now that i’ve lost all my patience: i don’t know if you heard about this but … words and pictures have meanings

[finalproblem]

“And happily, everyone has fallen for the trick of assuming that means another brother.”

[radogost]

Lol look at him, all smug. That’s clever very clever awfully clever… Did he honestly think that “a sister instead of a brother” is such an original and unexpected twist? Hate to break it to him, but even of it were done well, it would be rather meh. Done as it is, in the form of an homage to the B action and horror movies, it’s cheap and rather embarassing. There.

[sherlokiuss-deactivated20240928]

Anyway, everyone fell for the trick. Maybe it wasn’t an original and unexpected twist. But almost E v e r y o n e fell for it.



[radogost]

@johnlock-is-the-new-sexy If by “fell for it” you mean “by no means expected it because it’s a shallow parody-like cliche and we thought of mofftiss way too high to consider them capable of giving us ‘an insane murderous secret sister with supernatural powers locked up in a tower’ trope”, then yes, we fell for it.

[hellaholmes-blog]

we watched asib today, and i was so ready to GO i was prepared to explain irene's motives, sherlock/irene mirror, disprove adlock, BATTERSEA... and all my prof wanted to discuss was mycroft and the terrorist plot lmao
