the ways in which

I'm a doctor. I know how to sprain people. Sherlock S1-3, Merlin, Endeavour, Peaky Blinders, and anything with Roger Allam. (Was, in the erstwhile times, "peoplearefond.")

Me, a brand new TJLCer unfamiliar with the BBC and who only started watching British TV recently thanks to Sherlock: Well, the audience wasn't ready for a gay relationship portrayed on TV and the top brass in the BBC were probably homophobic and toxic back then. I'm sure Moftiss wanted to but the BBC pulled the plug.

Me, 30 minutes into watching the first episode of London Spy, a BBC2 show from 2015: Oh.

Me, googling the show while still watching and realizing Gatiss is a part of the London Spy cast: Oh, for fuck's sake. Fuck you Moftiss.

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

[prismatic-bell]

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

[shredsandpatches]

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.

[thepioden]

In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded. 

[jumpingjacktrash]

in this essay, enlightenment will descend upon you without the agency of any living being. you will know things, yet know not how you know.

prepare yourself. it begins.

[quousque]

In this essay, I will use the first person pronoun as a bludgeoning weapon

now that it’s all over, i gotta say how incredible and bitterly hilarious it is that not even greed is stronger than homophobia.

like, people love misha collins. people love castiel. when they killed cas off in s7, viewership dropped by thirty percent and they had to scramble to rewrite him back into the show - and he’s only gotten more popular since then. at spn conventions, they have two costume competitions - one for castiel cosplayers, and one for everyone else. there are only a fraction of sam and dean costumes compared to cas costumes. misha is, as far as i know, the only cast member to do photo ops as his character - he puts on the suit and coat and takes pictures with fans while behaving like cas. people love it.

and people love destiel. it’s one of the biggest ships on the fucking planet. it has 90k+ fics on ao3. you can find destiel merch just about anywhere. after 15x18, destiel trended online over the presidential election. 

a ton of people tuned into the finale just on the hope that cas/misha would return, that they’d been lied to when it was said 15x18 was his last episode. if they had teased a clip of cas coming back - forget that, if they had teased a clip of a kiss? millions of people would have tuned in to see it happen. people who’d never watched the show and never would have watched the finale would have watched. sure, they would have faced some blowback from the conservative fans, but that wouldn’t have mattered after the finale.

and if they had embraced cas and embraced destiel, they could have milked that cash cow for years. they could have marketed to the entire queer community, they could have patted themselves on the back and “proven” they were never queerbaiting at all. they could have grown the fandom instead of shrinking it. the money-making opportunities on cas and destiel are practically limitless.

instead, they fucked over not only cas fans and destiel fans, but dean fans and sam fans; i’m not in w*ncest and bronly circles, but i can’t imagine even they enjoyed this, considering sam just moved on with his life after dean died and they were separated for 50 years. people are utterly furious. there’s a real chance that this fandom is going to completely implode, game of thrones style, and nobody will want to go to cons or buy spn merch anymore. it could have been cool to like spn, now it’s more embarrassing than ever before.

and all that because some dudes out there were like, i hate the idea of two men kissing more than i love piles of money. that’s fucking wild.

As both a Supernatural & Sherlock fan I can tell you after season 4 of Sherlock totally screwed fans over & proved it was all just horrible queerbaiting the fandom did implode.

The Official Sherlock cons had horrible turn out & died, people left the fandom in droves, Mofftiss are a huge joke to so many, the actors were unhappy & totally moved on & Mofftiss new project Dracula was a huge flop.

The people behind Supernatural really shot themselves in the foot
