They’re whether intentional or not really using the BBC Sherlock pathos. John grows a moustache which is a nod to the fact he is first described with one in Charles Augustus Milverton I believe. But everyone like makes fun of him BBC Sherlock style? Idgi

This isn’t even like me being the friend that’s too woke it’s just a writing decision that seems at odds with what I believe the writers were trying to do and rather something to entice the bbc Sherlock crowd. Like a lot of this is framing the content of milverton in a modern adventure but also

Sherlock and co. is dipping far too heavily into the BBC Sherlock pathos for me lately. Excessively bullying Watson making him look stupid the multiple gay jokes in one episode man idk. I don’t love that at all

I mean what’s funnier is I did not get any part. Not a single part. Girl who delivers every line like she’s trying not to laugh got a part but I didn’t. But their play last semester was rough but also they cast that one fully randomised so I won’t be too harsh here

I did not get the part but I did all my introspective pondering and Norma Desmond-isms on other social media accounts and I have come to the conclusion that I am too talented and this is beneath me anyway

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

You’ll have to make it again because now I’m curious

I look a bit big and healthy for a sick and dying woman but I am nothing if not locked in

Theatre troupe I’m in is staging two plays this semester and it’s Dracula and Sherlock Holmes. I would have applied to be in the Holmes play but the rehearsal times are almost exactly matched to my shift at work so I applied for Lucy Westenra and I just hope I get it

I just pronounced Dracula as Draculer. Letting the intrusive /r/ win.

Italo Calvino on Invisible Cities: “The image of ‘megalopolis’ - the unending, undifferentiated city which is steadily covering the surface of the earth - dominates my book, too. But there are already numerous books which prophecy catastrophes and apocalypses: to write another would be superfluous, and anyway it would be contrary to my temperament. The desire of my Marco Polo is to find the hidden reasons which bring men to live in cities: reasons which remain valid over and above any crisis. A city is a combination of many things: memory, desires, signs of a language; it is a place of exchange, as any textbook of economic history will tell you - only, these exchanges are not just trade in goods, they also involve words, desires, and memories. My book opens and closes with images of happy cities which constantly take shape and then fade away, in the midst of unhappy cities.”

I didn’t even bring up Sherlock Holmes myself I am positively haunted

My biggest enemy came to my job and he was actually decently pleasant because all he talked about was how soviet Sherlock Holmes mischaracterises Dr. Watson as a helpless idiot as though he wasn’t a doctor of medicine

In all fairness he took it very well

not now bro i'm romanticizing the monstrous, eroticizing the grotesque, and glorifying the perverse

If you think you’ve embarrassed yourself fear not for I once lost the plot so badly that I told my classmate in my Shakespeare class (after he called my hamlet “effortlessly captivating”) that he would make an excellent bottom. It took me a full three seconds to add “from a midsummer night’s dream”

Seeing Moby dick staged as a play today reminded me just how many chapters in the book are what can be boiled down to “shady AF whale facts”

My friend converted me and now I’m unreasonably preoccupied with moby dick yaoi

this account is just Dr. John Watson shady facts

When he has to force himself to stop thinking about Mary by reading up on pathology

watson is just adorable in the sign of the four

I love Sherlock Holmes so bad it’s so unserious because all my social media algorithms think I like BBC Sherlock

That’s pretty cool tbh

Duolingo is so yesterday whenever I want to practice Dutch I translate song lyrics

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Ok so we're either on the holodeck or the crew is doing some regional community theater. We're on an olde tymey street in England Victorian times. Data, Geordi, and Dr Pulaski are all gussied up in era appropriate outfits with Data as Sherlock Holmes, Geordi as the other guy who follows Sherlock around I forget his name, and Pulaski is in a nice dress and hat and I'm not sure is she's also a normal character in those books. Data is concentrating hard smoking a pipe and Geordi is standing proud. Big smile, hands on hips like he's about to bust out some show tunes, and looks about as happy as a puppy with 2 peters. WATSON. Watson is the other guy from before. I just remembered this. Ok where were we, oh yeah, closed caption reads, "Some are meat, and some are sweet!"

Also I lied I was twelve so not a teenager yet.

Tried watching BBC Sherlock for the first time since I was a Sherlock Holmes obsessed teenager and it was just this picture + extreme homophobia
