yes all my favorite characters are desperate to be loved. no i don’t think that says anything about me
legend has it that if you say “i hate sansa stark” three times in front of a mirror sandor clegane will jump out of the mirror and kick your sorry ass into oblivion
pour one out for the phantom and all he’s done to awaken girls to the irrefutable sex appeal of a deranged reclusive thespian
the older i get the more i realize how unimportant it is to tell people my business
People without siblings should be required to undergo rigorous training before they're allowed to be a roommate
Only children in the notes are so mad you'd think I asked them to share or something
additional only children that don’t know how to take a joke

Fans of Mark Gatiss know that he's a hardcore horror girly and his most formative experiences of the genre is with the high aesthetic atmospheric horror of the Hammer films.
Which makes the vibe of BBC Sherlock make all the more sense given that plot-wise it was effectively a police procedural/detective drama (to quote Honest Trailers "It's 'Law and Order' rules, folks!") But it never /feels/ like that while you're watching it.
It's because it borrows so much of the visual styling, story beats, and even sound design from atmospheric horror films of the 60s and 7Os while telling a modern version of a Victorian era character.
The mid-century aesthetics are almost like a stepping stone between the two time periods that helps it gel together.
BBC Sherlock isn't just a modern retelling of the Sherlock Holmes books- it's a horror retelling as well. And the ultimate proof of this concept lies in the only totally original regular character in the show: Molly Hooper.
If we could just start with the aesthetic of Molly Hooper...
Feminine colors in modest cuts- Fashionable in a very mid-century vintage way and in stark contrast to basically every other character. And it largely goes unnoticed at how differently Molly is styled because at the time "Twee" fashion was seeing a surge in popularity and Louise Brealey was already pretty much on the vanguard of that trend in her personal style before being cast on the show.
But costumes are choices, deliberate ones made by creators. I think this choice was meant to evoke a specific trope in all our minds.
Molly is indeed the only original character in a show the creators swore would not have any original characters. And why would they? How would they? Throw new characters into an adaptation that has a cult following that spans longer than a century?
What kind of original character could hold up against literal literary icons?!
One built on a classic trope, Mark Gatiss's very own favorite horror trope: The Final Girl.
We almost know her right away when we see her- the clever, resourceful, modest (brunette!) and almost as soon as she turns up, she's unwittingly used by the central villain to get close to Sherlock.
She aids Sherlock in his clandestine activities and seems to be his source for the body parts he experiments with and earns his trust enough to play a central role in faking his death. Then ultimately is trapped unknowingly in a SAW style house of horrors scenario wherein every other participant up to that point had been brutally killed.
She lived to tell the tale.
She ticks every box on the Final Girl check list, right down to the cardigan, high ponytail and tweed skirt of the smart one in a group of young campers who *doesn't* have shower sex while there's a mad killer on the loose.
If the story were told from her perspective, it would be a horror and she would be the final girl.
Her presence as a character cements the horror atmosphere and makes it feel natural instead of corny but also doesn't oversell it past the point of overshadowing the detective genre aesthetics.
In fact she blends in so well she, and everything she represents, almost slips passed the audience unnoticed- the way all final girls survive.
Messier 101 : Big, beautiful spiral galaxy M101 is one of the last entries in Charles Messier’s famous catalog, but definitely not one of the least. About 170,000 light-years across, this galaxy is enormous, almost twice the size of our own Milky Way. M101 was also one of the original spiral nebulae observed by Lord Rosse’s large 19th century telescope, the Leviathan of Parsontown. Assembled from 51 exposures recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope in the 20th and 21st centuries, with additional data from ground based telescopes, this mosaic spans about 40,000 light-years across the central region of M101 in one of the highest definition spiral galaxy portraits ever released from Hubble. The sharp image shows stunning features of the galaxy’s face-on disk of stars and dust along with background galaxies, some visible right through M101 itself. Also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy, M101 lies within the boundaries of the northern constellation Ursa Major, about 25 million light-years away. via NASA

This is his channel!
This is his most recent video! Please leave positive comments after watching the video and press the Like button.
I’ve seen his watercolor tutorials and they made me want to paint again. It’s wholesome content and he is a kind soul.
I love my third grandpa 🥺
the video is 14 minutes long so to summarise: he’s not looking for support in the form of compliments, he’s looking for feedback (specifically if his videos are engaging and helpful, bc he wants to work on evening out the high subscriber/low view count ratio). he would like to be getting around 10% of his subscribers’ viewership which is around 40k views per video as he is only getting around 20k
he is an ailing old man who just wants to figure out the best way to ensure that his videos (across four channels damn!!!) are helping people, it’s essentially his legacy. so if you’re trying to get into watercolor painting or like to have relaxing painting videos on while you’re working on things, check out his channel and give him some views!!!
Even you don’t paint, just play the guy’s videos. He’s so relaxing to listen to or to watch. YouTube’s algorithm freaking blows; let’s get this good good grandpa to trending.

What do you think, gentle readers?
Can we help this grandfather?
Mr. Shibasaki is live right now for his 75th birthday celebration!
The true AO3 experience is trying to remember a very specific fic you read some time between 2013 and 2019 but you can only remember two of the characters, a vague idea of the plot outside of one specific scene, and you have no clue what the tags could have been.
