Heya! I'm curious as to what made you break up with Sherlock? I'm just an the start of season 3 so, IDK, I'd like to hear your thoughts as to how it fucked up, it seemed to go over my head and I wanna know if I missed something

Part of it admittedly was fandom going out of control as well as the showrunners, but I fell out of love really fast with the portrayal of Holmes as a vain, non-social, pretentious jackass only redeemed by his genius (I am a big fan of the original canon, in which Holmes, while weird and eccentric and sometimes unsociable, is generally a polite and empathetic person), and I was really just frustrated by the treatment of Irene Adler, one of the few people in canon to ever outsmart sherlock holmes, and how she was broken down to another accessory for him to seem great compared to. It just got incredibly annoying to watch after awhile, especially since I started watching Elementary around the same time and it feels like so much of a truer essence of Holmes to me, even if the Sherlock showrunners like to say theirs is much more accurate. In my opinion, they’re just enjoying the lazy writing of writing a jackass white man who’s worshipped for their intellect and faces very few repercussions.

It’s like they don’t know you or your decks AT ALL

Right?!

I take their serious questions and smash them to pieces while giggling. It’s awful.

Sarcasm is my one true power. All should be wary.

3,5, and 6 for the SO ask :)

3) What mannerisms do they have?

She taps her wrist to indicate time or time passing, or an awareness of time, and usually she doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. She also fluffs her ponytail when she’s got her hair up. 

5) How did you meet/become introduced to them?

We met on tumblr, actually! Back when I was onlytowardschaos and she was greytaliesin. We were both in Dragon Age fandom and we were both in the middle of some serious clinical depression so I inserted myself into her digital art livestreams and then stole her from a mutual friend. B)

6) Favourite thing they’ve ever said/texted/messaged?

...idk, we’ve been together for five years now, living together for four, and we once had a Skype conversation that lasted for 18 hours so like. That’s a lot.

But she wrote me a letter for my birthday a couple of years ago that was really sweet, and the ‘swiggity swooty’ text was both hilarious and ridiculous, so.

10 for the pet asks :)

10. Name 3 pets that are no longer with you and what your favorite thing about each was.

- Princess. She was a chihuahua/beagle/feist mix that resulted from someone’s registered show chihuahua jumping the fence to have illegitimate puppies with the neighbor’s beagle/feist hunting dog. (This was Mississippi, okay.) I had been begging my parents for a dog for a long time, and my parents are pet people, so they eventually caved, and we looked for a dog for a while before we found Princess. I was 8 when we got her. She was the runt of the litter, and she looked exactly like a chihuahua except that she had floppy little feist ears and the feist stubby tail. (Note, that is not a picture of her, just a feist dog to show you what that looks like. Now put those ears and tail on a tiny chihuahua and there you go.) my favorite thing about her is that she used to LOVE bedtime, and she would jump into bed with me, snuggle under the blankets, and hold her tiny toy close in her paws like a child with a teddy bear.

- AJ. When people talk about their “familiars,” AJ is who I think of. She was a long-haired calico cat that I adopted for my 13th birthday, and I swear to you that cat understood English. I told her complicated things and she understood me. When we first got her, we lived out in the country, so she was an indoor/outdoor cat (I would not do this now) but we moved to a city place where she couldn’t go outdoors when I was going to college. I would come home and see her on the weekends, but my mom phoned me up one day and was like, “AJ hasn’t used the litter box the whole time I’ve had her here, and she hasn’t gone anywhere else in the house that I can see. I’m worried about her. I don’t think she knows what it is for. She always listens to you. I’m gonna put the phone to her ear and you tell her how to use the litter box.” (My mom is this kind of person.) So I explained it to AJ over the phone, and then I heard the scratch-scratch of litter, and my mom goes, “...You’re never gonna believe this, but it actually worked.” 

- Angelo. My first betta fish! He had the sweetest personality. We had a snail in the tank with him (before I knew better) and he loved that snail. Would just sit on top of its shell. He never attacked anything, never flared at anyone, and would always come up to the front of the tank for kisses. He was a good fish.

... Go on??

It would be a mix of poetry and photographs that respond to the poems which would be short (2-6 lines, I think), but I am left with limited options for photos and I usually work with non-digital which makes it hard sometimes for these sorts of inspiration.
