I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyone who follows me reblog this.

I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head.

Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away.

So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out.

I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot

This is one of the first moves I was taught in Krav Maga, and it is one of the most effective.

It took me about a half hour to get down with practice, but once you get it, it’s an intuitive movement.

Please pass this along, it will save lives.

REBLOG.

Its amazing how much work went into making this as authentic as possible. They could’ve just thrown vaguely African stuff together but they, especially Ruth Carter and Hannah Beachler, drew inspirations from real cultures. I think that is part of the magic and beauty of Blank Panther and why it means so much to the different members of the African diaspora. We can see ourselves and our cultures, as well as Strong Beautiful women

the absolute best parts of Umbrella Academy s2

I literally have nothing new to add to these; they just made me smile. And obviously, spoilers if you haven’t see it!

Allison not hesitating for a SECOND to jump into the pool while reuniting with Klaus!!

The whole family getting into the car with Vanya to help Harlan. Just. *chef’s kiss*

“Hey, Diego. Can’t say hi to nobody?” “hi allison.” “What was that?” “HI ALLISON.”

Ben (as Klaus) reuniting with and hugging Diego

Let’s be real, Ben was the real hero of this season. He’s dead and still prevented a nuclear apocalypse by saving Vanya.

But Diego, Allison, and Klaus also trying? Beautiful.

Diego and Vanya chilling on the steps in the last episode

Five admitting that the entire time he was in the apocalypse alone he was worried about his family

The slow reveal that Klaus has become a legit cult leader

Ray’s biggest takeaway/surprise from Allison’s whole life story being that there was a black president

Ben telling Vanya to make sure that Klaus knew he wasn’t responsible for keeping Ben away from heaven

Diego immediately leaving orientation

And then later lying to Five by telling him he passed the whole thing

Klaus being caught by those two cowboys

Five calling the Swedes the “IKEA Mafia”

what a good show. free free to add your own favorite parts; this is in no way a comprehensive list!

Trying to articulate this properly but the way the umbrella academy showed Allison running away from those white men who had clear intentions to hurt her and then she rushes into a black womens' hair salon and she doesn't even say anything (she literally can't) and just has fear on her face and this group of Black women immediately, immediately, shift into protection mode. They don't know this woman, don't know her name, don't know how she came to be there but all they see is utter distress caused by racist sexist white men and their first concern and action is protecting her. Like that is something in the black community that's always been there. Protecting each other at the drop of a hat. Putting yourself between injustice. And recently with the Blm protests still at full force you again get this image of what the black community does and always has which is that they pick each other up and they do it every time and that's how they've been surviving and helping each other survive and intentional or not this season did a really good job at highlighting at the right time that black people have simply been asking for their right to exist safely for centuries and yet it is the 21st century and that is still being villainously denied

He deserved More

And she deserved her own Story

Wattson from Elementary!

favorite thing about them

Her empathy. No matter what job she had, she always wanted to help people.

least favorite thing about them

This is hard because there’s really not much. I tried coming back to this one last but really I just love everything about her, even her flaws.

favorite line

I really wanna say “I don’t care which cock I’m holding, I just want to know how it got there” because it’s a golden line, but I should probably pick a serious one. Probably just that moment in the first episode where she knows Sherlock is lying about having a plan and calls him out for being a dick.

brOTP

hmmmmm probably her and Marcus. She’s just like “this is my boyfriend Sherlock, and his boyfriend Marcus.”

OTP

Joanlock, of course. The show really tried to straightbait me with this one.

nOTP

I guessss Joan and Moriarty. I enjoy their dynamic and Moriarty being infatuated with her but I want Joan in healthy relationships only thanks.

random headcanon

Her and Sherlock officially became romantic by the end of the finale.

unpopular opinion

She’s one of the best Watsons ever popularized. It’s probably not unpopular amongst true fans but it’s unpopular amongst the larger Sherlock Holmes fandom because they refused to give the show a chance. She is everything important that makes A True Watson. Way more than the other popular recent adaptations.

song i associate with them

Retrograde - James Blake, Line of Fire - Junip, Optimist - Zoe Keating, Feather on the Clyde - Passenger

favorite picture of them

Well… lemme just show you some of my favorite outfits of her’s

I would like a boyfriend please

It continually baffles me that Elementary isn’t mentioned very often on tumblr. It’s like four seasons of televised, well-done Sherlock Holmes fanfiction. Just for starters:

It casts the criminally under-appreciated Lucy Liu as the show’s version of Watson

The show’s creator has been holding the line for four years that Sherlock and Joan will NOT hook up because “it’s too easy,” and the show “doesn’t need it.”

It doesn’t downplay Sherlock’s (canonical) addiction to heroin, and in fact turns his recovery and continued sobriety into an issue he constantly struggles with

Sherlock’s character is well-balanced as a rude, arrogant, anti-social misanthrope who is still capable of being kind and treats those few he considers friends with respect

Likewise, Joan is intensely empathetic and nurturing to people in need, but does not tolerate bullshit (Sherlock’s especially) and is perfectly capable of beating up grown man a hundred pounds heavier than her with a police-baton

Sherlock teaches Joan cane-fighting (a fighting style he had in the books), and is an avid beekeeper (another detail from the books)

Sherlock and Joan share a pet turtle named Clyde. He paints.

The cast orbiting Sherlock and Joan are diverse, three dimensional, and exist as more than cannon fodder for Sherlock to prove his superiority at every turn.

Ms. Hudson is a trans woman (played by a trans actress) that cleans up Sherlock and Joan’s place when she’s not cohabitating with her sugar daddies

The mysteries are pretty cool and creative detective stories

Lucy Liu herself has said that a non-sexual relationship is more “dynamic” and “interesting” to play and considers the lack of romance between them a “sacred” part of the characters

The show is unabashedly practical when it comes to sexuality: Sherlock has arrangements with women that are non-romantic but respectful, and has suggested that Joan is “dissatisfied” with traditional relationships and might be more inclined to an open or even polyamorous relationship

I can’t even ruin it but just…Moriarty is magnificent

Again: a male and a female lead in a deep, significant platonic relationship based on mutual respect.
