Hello! I recently engaged with the original Scandal in Bohemia, and it's given me some feelings as to what Mofftiss did with Irene Adler's character, and the atrocious way they responded to criticism. I recall Steven Moffat being quoted as saying something along the lines of "it's hardly like the original Irene Adler was very feminist herself" and I would like to quote him correctly I can't seem to find the direct quote. Do you know the quote I'm talking about? Thanks so much

Hi Lovely!

Ah.... I vaguely recall this quote but I don’t remember 100 what it was, just that he had an awful take on Irene’s character. Anyone know for certain what it was?

That said, yeah, it the grand scheme of things, given the turnout of the series: while I liked that they made her a mirror for Sherlock, at the end of all this, I dislike what they inevitably made her character be. *shrugs*

"Some patients can't be saved/ But that burden's not on you/ Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that" What the FUCK I was just sitting their folding a lil' origami Icarus while I listened to your playlists and I was not prepared Horatio did NOT deserve that

LITERALLY THE ENTIRE HOSPICE ALBUM IS ABOUT HAMLET AND HORATIO BUT NO SONGS MORE THAN WAKE AND EPILOGUE AND IT DOES, TRULY, DESTROY ME LITERALLY EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT

Hey would you like to go on a 3 page rant about Troilus and Cressida?

i honestly had like three whole paragraphs written up but then chrome crashed and i lost it all but here is the gist of it

troilus and cressida not only is a great gift but the way that thee ol willy shakes is able to play around with gender dynamics of it all but the foiling of troilus/cressida/diomedes with agamemon/helen/paris like!!!!! his mind!!!!! and honestly the story of cressida is essentially the soldier going away to war while troilus is her house husband, no one can do it better!!!! the way that cressida is doing the stereotypical masculine thing and masking up her feelings for troilus while troilus is out there going “I CANT FIGHT HEAD FULL OF CRESSIDA”

I love all of Jane Austen's books sometimes I love the girls more than the romance, but man. Edmund Betram was just a terrible person. Like. Awful. An awful man. It's one thing to not return a crush but to treat an old friend like second best after gaining a girlfriend. That's a red flag. And his reaction to her saying no to Crawford? A Real Red Flag

Edmund is very frustrating because he could so easily be so much better if he’d just make the slightest effort and he just...doesn’t.

I know I saw that use of the Shatner fight scene gifs at the military base as us beating up Mark and the crew on your page, could you please help me find it? My father and I are having a trekkie convo. Please.

Heavy in Your Arms from Florence + Machine for Hamlet?

Also I hate to make the Ho ratio playlist sadder than it is, but Night We Met by Lord Huron is kinda perfect

HUGE BRAIN... “i had all and then most of you // some and now none of you” [shriveling]

“in memoriam” crushed me like a peanut shell... it’s so very... idk i feel like... both hamlet and horatio see the other one as above them somehow at least in canon (and that’s not necessarily healthy but like. canon is a fucking mess) and so i am. melting on the ground

and oh my god there are so many layers to wax and wane but may i spotlight “i never said it was your fault // i only wanted to blame someone”

You're doing the Lord's Work with all the playlists. Thank you!
