I made a snowcas in the snow today :))
Yes Supernatural is 15 seasons long but it’s really simple. every season something happens and the world is about to end and one of the main characters goes I have an idea I’M GONNA KILL MYSLEF and that’s it. for 15 seasons. and the gay yearning of course
i just started watching supernatural season 4 and... oh my god...
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
so, I made a guide for the order of the granada sherlock holmes series [1984-1994] (mostly for my own benefit, but felt like sharing for anyone else as confused as I was before I made this, so here we are)
the adventures of sherlock holmes [1984-1985] (13eps)
s1 (1-7/7eps) [1984]
s2 (8-13/6eps) [1985]
the return of sherlock holmes [1986-1988] (13eps + the 2 movies)
s3 (14-20/8eps) [1986]
s4x1/ep21 - the sign of four [1987]
s4 (22-25/5eps) [1988]
s4x6/ep26 - the hound of baskervilles [1988]
the case-book of sherlock holmes [1991-1993] (6eps + the 3 movies)
s5 (27-32/6eps)
s6x1/ep33 - the master blackmailer [1992]
s6x2/ep34 - the last vampyre [1993]
s6x3/ep35 - the eligible bachelor [1993]
the memoirs of sherlock holmes [1994] (6eps)
s7 (36-41/6eps) [1994]
it goes per the show titles, the movies are placed when they came out within the shows. since there are 41 episodes in total I wanted to know how many there are per season so that's what I did with the addition of which episode numbers they are all together. if that makes any sense (it does to me at least)
feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes. I took most of the info from imdb and wikipedia.
I might add all the individual ep names later on but can't promise that yet. we'll see where my hyperfixating takes me next. anyways, this is done now sooo... bye, see ya :]
"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff
"you've already left kudos here. :)" ok and I'll leave some more. You got a problem? Because in my opinion, this work is so good and the author totally deserves it
I miss the time when someone had just posted whole movies and shows on youtube for free, like not copyrighted or anything just the whole thing in one video
I remember when I watched the whole of star wars rebels at my grandmas on youtube years ago, you can't do that anymore (at least not very efficiently) I've also watched barbie movies and a whole bunch of other stuff on yt
I do understand why they're copyrighted now though, don't get me wrong, but I can still miss those times
tbh I really dislike how aphobia tends to be discussed whenever there's some kind of incident that makes it visible to general society. The most common response seems to be some variation of "why would anyone hate asexual/aromantic people, they aren't even doing anything" and it just always sits wrong with me. It paints such a passive picture of our existence and feels like a comment influenced by the level of invisibility that aspec people have in society. Why would you be annoyed by someone who is practically invisible? Just go back to ignoring their existence, it's easy!
But despite the invisibility, aspec people are actually doing quite a lot of things that will piss off queerphobic, right-wing and religious people (and hell, even left-wing people). And the most obvious point is that we are actively not performing heterosexuality the way they want us to. People who's entire world view is "cis men and women should be in monogamous, heterosexual marriage and have (white) babies" are not going to lean back and say "oh but those asexuals and aromantics are fine". They will also hate our guts, and they will come up with all sorts of reasons, including insinuating we're all secretly into bestiality, or mentally ill, or not human, or attention seeking children. It's just plain old queerphobia, and like all queerphobia, there's no inherent logic to it which you can worm your way out of by "not doing anything".
And like, there's a lot more that aspec people do which people hate. Raising awareness about amatonormativity? People feel attacked, they hate it. Asexual people having sex? Or not having sex? People hate it! Aromantic people being in (seemingly) romantic relationships? People fucking hate it! Aromantic people having sex? Ohh people hate that!!
I guess the existence of aphobia can be confusing when you haven't spent much time thinking about asexuality and aromanticism, but in the end, these are identities that aren't heteronormative and they will be hit with the same or similar bigotry as any other queer identity. I just get tired of this response after seeing it recycled for 10 years without ever seeming to go any further.
My fanfic has two kudos. Two people liked my writing. I'm so fucking happy I feel like I'm at an awards show and people are throwing roses on the stage. /gen
