I have a Terry Gilliam-induced head ache.
Does Eliot create a ‘universal language’ through employing familiar myths and legends? Or is he ultimately elitist, isolating the reader with multilingual quotations and obscure, unexplaind references? Does he do both? Does he do it on purpose? Is he creating an intentional tension/juxtaposition between the two to express the tension between collaboration and communal living and...

I officially only use tumblr to procrastinate.
I have a presentation due at 9am. It is currently a quarter to 11pm. I haven’t watched the required film. Luckily, I have read the necessary poem, but it’s possibly one of the densest motherfuckers in the English language and I’m not 100% sure I’ll be able to answer questions on it.
Fuck you, T. S. Eliot. Fuck you and glorious, complex network of intertextual references...

I feel like doing something reckless and stupid...
It’s a weird and horrible restless, itchy, destructive feeling. It’s a shifty-eyed feeling. I just want to run around or get to work on a mammoth project or write something or paint or cook or something. I want to start a Muggle Quidditch team. And dye my hair. And tattoo myself with something ridiculous. And pierce my lip. And plan stuff for the summer. Lots of ridiculous stuff. I...

– This excellent, excellent article here. Heavy trigger warnings for deep survivor shit. But so good.
Read this, JoePa fans. Read every word. Then read it again. Memorize it. Every time you’re tempted to jump to Joe Paterno’s defense against a survivor, remind yourself of this article. Form a...

If you’re the Sherlock in this conversation, I would love to roleplay with you at some point, if you’re up for it. Because you’re a bit bloody wonderful.

This morning I accidentally knocked some bagels off the top shelf, and after watching them fall down I thought to myself, “lol, Reichenbagel falls”. And then felt embarrassed.

“Why do I always have to make it?” John grumbled from the kitchen. Clinking a teaspoon against the rim of one of the steaming mugs of tea he’d brewed, he let out an exaggerated sigh. “You haven’t bought the milk for weeks, either,” he added as an afterthought, frowning as he threw the spoon into the sink; it clattered shrilly as it fell past towering piles of dirty...

all of this. the reason the fall looked so realistic is because we’re seeing it through john’s shocked, concussed eyes. he was knocked to the floor intentionally, again, probably by someone in the homeless network (especially as their importance/efficiency was highlighted earlier on in the episode).

mycroft is one of the most intelligent men in the world, and runs a government that tortures people for information, yet a) is incapable of lying about his brother’s back story and b) couldn’t just fucking kill moriarty?
i am optimistic enough to assume that’s part of a bigger, nastier plot and not just shoddy writing. maybe mycroft is all kinds of fucked up and just wanted to...

jim: hello?
sebastian: is this a bad time?
jim: yes of course it is, what do you want?
sebastian: that kitten came back to our flat. i've decided you can keep it.
jim: SAY THAT AGAIN. say that again, and know, that if you are lying to me, i will find you, and i will skin you.
sebastian: if you don't come home with cat supplies in the next half hour i'm using it for target practice.
jim: WAIT.
jim: sorry, wrong day to die.
sherlock: oh, did you get a better offer?
jim: you'll be hearing from me, sherlock.
jim: if you have what you say you have, i'll make you rich. if you're lying, i'll make you into shoes.
sebastian: i already have access to your bank account, and you have enough shoes. just come home before this cat pees on the rug.
