I know?!? It's like 'hey I think you're mediocre and feel a strong desire to let you know"

Hi, I was just wondering if you've ever bought anything from taobao and if so what is your advice about it? (also I just realised I wasn't following you until now, which is weird because I swear I was)

I have!

I used TaobaoNow as my shopping service although I've heard them and TaobaoSpree are about on the same level.  If you want to deal with something easier (albeit slightly more expensive and with less selection) try looking at Qutieland or Clobba.

I own a Rose Melody JSK and it is divine- they generally embroider all of their designs which makes it feel super ornate and luxurious.  Infanta, Kidsyoyo, HMHM, R-Series, White Moon, Dear Celine, Chess Story, Rococo Soul, 69th Department, and Surface Spell are the other shops I can think of off of the top of my head that make gorgeous stuff that you'd be okay buying pretty much anything from.

Be prepared to pay A LOT for shipping fees (with shopping service charges and shipping, my ~$80 dress ended up costing me around $120) and to wait forever for your item, but it's also worth noting that a lot of lolita comms run Taobao group orders fairly often to cut down on shipping costs and that a lot of Taobao shops will offer custom sizing!

I think Taobao is a more affordable alternative to brand and a great way to add some variety to your closet :)

SPOILERS- wait I swear Irene did fall for Sherlock because she used his name as her phone password? (I may have remembered it wrong. I didn't like the BBC interpretation of her at all, though. She didn't win, and that strikes me as the whole point of her.)

I do not give Moffat that much credit at all. Both Irene's and John's relationships with Sherlock were closely compared, and yet John remained 'not gay' while Irene's homosexuality was disregarded. Sherlock beat Irene by monitoring her body language and whatnot, deducing that she was ~in love~, and the password from that. Moffat had also stated that they fancy each other in ACDcanon and that's why he lost to her then. There's better posts explaining all the issues with that episode than me, tho.

(On Irene being gay but still wanting Sherlock)

I too am not inclined to give Moffat much credit, but it looks like people do have multiple interpretations.  Personally from what I know of Moffat I'd go with the most negative interpretation but as I haven't seen the show myself (and I must say I'm not really interested in doing so at this point) I can't say for sure!

I do agree that it's ridiculous that she doesn't best Sherlock though.  I loved that in the original canon.

No. That is not a thing you can do affordably in Central London. (I didn't see the first bit but if this girl has money troubles why is she living in Baker Street, even with the shared rent?)

Thanks!

Asks on how to address a group of people in a non gender specific manner:

jephaway:  i call everyone "children" because it summarizes certain people's attitude toward mixed-gender group pronouns rather well i feel

atheistsandcats:  My boss refers to us as her cherubs. If I have to refer to a large group of people I usually say "Y'all" (going to school in the south changes a Northerner), or show off my extreme whiteness by saying "ERRBAHDY" (EVERYBODY).

anonymous:  [Starfire voice] Hello my friends, I have a suggestion! Perhaps in mixed gender social interactions with other people, we could refer to them all as companions! Farewell, my companions! [/Starfire voice]

anonymous:  I have this habit were I just address a whole group as "friends", like it didn't matter if I've never met them it was always "Hello friends." But I wouldn't recommend doing this because you will end up with exactly zero friends.

amoleofmonsters:  For a non-gendered group terms, I use "humans". It's gender neutral and accurate. :D

cornixcaeruleus:  Why not call everyone 'you lot'?

cornixcaeruleus replied to your post: Some of my favourite fics are RPF. Depends on which ones you’re reading, I guess. There’s a series of fics that I am absolutely in love with and they’re brilliantly written. I don’t think it’s fair to dislike an entire genre of fics because of a bunch of bad ones. Sure there’re fics that make you want to claw your face off, but there are amazing ones too. It just frustrates me when people insist a certain thing is bad like this.

I feel guilty for writing the baconsuezuofregret fic now… That was kind of different, though, right?

Parody RPF where you have some kind of knowledge of the person you're writing about is okay.  I knew it was meant to be a joke, and it was obviously a joke (there was no way anyone could have taken it seriously) and I thought it was hilarious.

But most people writing RPF are really serious about it and want these celebrities to really be like that.
