you know I wonder if back in the day when The Final Problem came out Victorians were sending out letters with “Dear sir, have you read the latest Holmes story yet? I simply cannot handle it. I have cried an unseemly amount of tears. I cannot. Oh God.” and then there’s just a big ink scribble because keysmashing wasn’t an option

osheamobile:
Between the gorgeous gowns, Disney princess gifs, and this Sailor Senshi generator meme I’ve been playing with, my Tumblr dashboard is probably the least manliest place I have on the Internet. And y’know what? I’m fine with that. I’m enjoying the hell out of this, and nobody has the right to tell me I’m doing it wrong. So bring on your frilly period dresses. Explain to me the...

“You might have killed him!” she cried breathlessly.
“You can’t kill that kind of a snake with a hat-pin; you have to stamp on its head. But I rather believe it will be some time before Mr. Craig will again make the mistake of insulting a woman because she appears to be defenseless.” Elsa’s chin was in the air. The choking sensation in her throat began to subside. “The deadly hat-pin; can’t you...

Mike: I will say. The entire event was worth it, just for the vitriol from the audience. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Matt: Agreed. If you can guarantee you’ll see it with an audience as vocal as the one we did, I could almost recommend the movie. Mike: I’ve seen the silent look of disgust in the, “Well, that was a waste of time,” sort of way. But not...

P.S. to authors: I know that bad reviews can hurt. I know that sometimes bad reviews are objectively WRONG. Shut up anyway. If you’re a decent person with a good book, your readers will defend the thing. And that’s the dream. That’s what Goodreads is for.

People tell girls not to listen to the Creep Radar. They tell girls it’s cold or rude or mean to do what the Creep Radar says. Because if girls always acted on their internal Creep Radars, they might only have sex or hang out with people they really, genuinely, completely liked or loved. And we couldn’t have that, could we? Sheer anarchy, I tell you!

Anonymous asked: Apparently. Michael Sheen and Benedict Cumberbatch have commented in interviews how often they have tried out for the same roles in the last few years. What are your thoughts on a Cumberbatch Aro?
The Black Turkey Recipe →
As the bird cooks, it will first get a light brown, then a dark brown, then darker and darker. After about 2 hours you will think I’m crazy. The bird will be turning black. (Newcomers to black turkey will think you are demented and drunk on your butt, which, if you’ve followed instructions, you are.) In fact, by the time it is finished, it will look as though we have ruined it....

carnivaloftherandom asked: Wait. Pattinson actually referenced, "My Little Pony?" Is he trolling SLOD? I mean, I would totally believe he would do that, because he *is* the biggest twi-fandom troll there is. I mean, the Sparklerosa could be *his* Head Canon. *falls over ded of lulz*

Kody's Blog: A Confession About My Disability →
I pretended I wasn’t blind, basically.
I didn’t do this out of shame. I’m not ashamed of being blind. I did it because I didn’t want it to be part of my identity. I am a person. I am writer. I am a girl. I am a Southerner. I am a music lover. Way, way, way down that list you might see “I am blind.” Of course it is a part of me, but it isn’t me.
But our society loves “tragedy.” In my...

Huzzah! Episode 9 (“Van Helsing realises that if they are to capture the vampire they must hypnotise Mina. Read by Michael Fassbender, Gillian Kearney, James D’Arcy and James Greene”) is available to stream, after I missed the live airing and shook my fist at the heavens for a good two hours. DAMN YOUUUUU TIME ZOOOOOOONES!!

The first answer is this: If people can get you to worry about how skinny you are, they have already taken away a substantial chunk of your time and energy. Seriously. Look at how many “solutions” there are to the problem of girls not being “skinny enough.” Are you doing yoga? Are you running? Are you swimming? Have you gone vegetarian yet? Have you gone vegan yet? Have you tried eating only...
