Me expecting The Sun and the Star to be about a silly little quest and getting a fully fleshed commentary on how trauma survivors often don’t know who they are without their trauma and are startled by the realization that life now has to go on outside of survival mode, and just how difficult that is.

I think some people might mistake A Scandal in Bohemia as being sexist in overall theme when really, it’s quite the opposite.

Sure, there’s a bit of period appropriate sexism there, nothing too bad, but let’s talk about the feminist elements of the story.

Holmes sees Irene Adler as “The Woman.” The most common (and boring) take is that this is because she is the only female Holmes has ever felt affection/attraction towards.

In reality, Watson makes it very clear why Holmes is so taken with Adler, why they remain friends and why she is the woman to Holmes. It’s because she represents femininity to him, and that femininity is defined by her cleverness, her quiet cunning, her intelligence. Holmes nerds over this woman because he sees her as an equal intellectually—which is not something you could say of most of the men he interacts with. To Holmes, that’s what womanhood should be, what it is at it’s pinnacle. I believe he even makes a comment somewhere in either The Dancing Men or The Five Orange Pips (if anyone remembers this or if I’m misremembering please let me know) about women generally being smarter, especially for knowing when to be quiet and observe. And it isn’t really in a “women should shut up way”. Holmes knows how valuable silence is in the gathering of information, how much of a virtue it can be, how smart it actually is. Remember, this is a man who spends hours upon hours completely still and silent himself.

I just think this dynamic with Holmes and his perception of women and femininity and what it means is so interesting. When Irene Adler becomes the woman, it doesn’t mean she’s the only woman Holmes has ever liked, it means she is the embodiment of a woman. And their subsequent friendship shows a clear mutual respect.

Sending an ask cause I think my submission got buried:

I’m 18, looking for other 18+ people to roleplay either Good Omens (ineffable husbands) or an ocxoc in a fantasy setting of some sort :)

I prefer semi lit replies, multi paragraph is awesome but if you can’t do that shorter is fine too.

I have whole lists of ideas so there’s no concern regarding that.

My discord is locardstheory0877, add me and we can talk there.

I’m looking for more long term Ineffable Husbands Roleplayers if anyone is interested!

18+ if we plan on doing anything other than PG13, though I’m open to clean stuff too. I have fun with plots and have plenty of ideas.

I usually roleplay on discord.

Hey I’m looking for some extra people to rp with.

18+ preferably, if not then I’d still be open to an rp but without NSFW content.

I play both Aziraphale and Crowley, so your preference is valid either way!

I have 4+ years of rp experience and about 6 writing seriously.

Literate-semi literate is preferred.

I have a list of Au’s and am also open to other ideas!

Message me if you’re interested.

Neil Gaiman on Aziraphale’s and Crowley’s perceptions of each other

Even though I have Amazon Prime, I bought the DVD of Good Omens just for the writer and director commentaries (and the deleted scenes, but those were brief). I’ve been rewatching it with the commentaries and I was struck by what Neil Gaiman says about how Crowley and Aziraphale portray each other during their trials and would-be executions. Here’s a transcript of the relevant part of Neil Gaiman and Douglas McKinnon’s commentary on episode 6.

Neil: I love the idea of what Crowley’s idea of Aziraphale is. I think Crowley’s idea of Aziraphale is a lot more heroic, and standing up to everybody, than Aziraphale’s idea of Aziraphale. Just as Aziraphale’s idea of Crowley is somebody who can be flippant and insouciant when faced with the monsters of Hell.

Douglas: He [Aziraphale] is a lot more determined in this incarnation, isn’t he?

Neil: Yeah. They’re each probably rather better at dealing with things than the other one is in reality, but they think that’s what the other one is probably like. I love that.

I find that incredibly touching. Neither of them is very brave, but each thinks of the other as brave, so they find it easier to be brave when they’re pretending to be each other. They both must have that courage in them, or they couldn’t put it on in the guise of the other, but each needs the thought of the other to be able to find it.

Idk if this shit ever works but I see people do it all the time so I guess I’ll give it a try.

My boyfriend has been struggling with something called Candidiasis (Candida) which is an intense yeast infection in the microbiome lining his intestines. It’s a blood disorder, because the toxins can get into the bloodstream, which effects his cognitive abilities, gives him chronic fatigue, and basically mimics similar symptoms to MS.

It’s actually the same type of yeast that causes yeast infections.

In severe cases, Candida can negatively impact vital parts of the body, including the blood, heart and brain – ultimately leading to hospitalization and, rarely, death.

Candida cannot be cured by taking anti-fungal or antibiotic medications because the yeast grows back before the other good microbes can grow back. The only thing that helps to alleviate his symptoms is is to eat a strict diet that avoids most carbs and refined sugars.

He cannot be accommodated at his university because he does not have the paperwork to prove that this affects his life. In order to prove that it does, Ben needs to take a blood test. However, it is very expensive for him and his family. (He lives with his father, who works on commission- so money making is difficult) Health insurance does not cover it, and eating off of the diet will cause the Candida to release toxins into his blood that affect him cognitively, gives him fatigue, and severe gastrointetinal discomfort. The cognitive effects include extreme difficulty concentrating and speaking, memory loss, and headaches characterized by sharp pains.

Ben needs the funds to get tested by March 6. He only needs $300
