Whoa dude totally honored.
(I was hoping someone would have made a gif of the one dude on Firefly talking about his honor, but no one has yet obliged.)
It’s your fault for being shiny. How was I to resist? I have had those same damn feels when people manage to splash their Sally hate onto my dash.
I dislike the idea that an officer of the law is under some obligation to be cuddly and incurious.
Or completely cool with being undermined by a consultant who sees fit to shout her business all up and down the street to score points.
Also, considering that Sherlock called John an idiot within hours of meeting him, without provocation, do people really think Donovan was the one who started the whole name-calling thing?
YOU ARE SO COOL.
Pardon me. But. Hating Sally is a thing? Really? NOT SEEN IT. HAPPY THAT WAY. I had her kiss Mycroft, steal his coat, and get away with it. I just don’t see why.. okay, envy, yes, I could hate her like that, but… She’s not boring. How can you hate her? (Yeah, I can see how people could, but I don’t follow people like that.) It’s kind of a lazy viewpoint.
Also, when someone said “people of colour,” and… I just took a long time to figure out WTF. I just don’t think of Sally as black. Or female. I think of her as Sally. Um. I don’t think of the other characters as white dudes. They have names. Um. I just don’t take score cards to my TV. Um. BUT BY GOLLY IF THERE IS A WAY TO WORK GINA TORRES INTO SOMETHING SIGN ME THE HELL UP ahem. But yeah, I just don’t… notice that stuff until someone else has a rant. Um? Er.
IF YOU WANT TO CAST SHEMAR MOORE AS LESTRADE I AM SO FINE WITH THAT I’ll shut up now.
When I look at magazines or watch TV or whatever else, I sometimes have these overwhelming moments of “NO ONE LOOKS LIKE ME.” Because I’m not even particularly that Asian-looking, but I’m definitely not white. And it’s awful. So when I see people of color on TV or in movies or in magazines, no matter what race they are, I feel better. Like, maybe biracial women aren’t being featured, but at least someone who is something other than white is. It’s an awful, creepy, soul-sucking feeling sometimes, but it is what it is.
WELL SCREW THAT BABY. COME HERE AND HUG IT OUT, BITCH.
No, you’re not Asian-looking. I kinda got the idea that you like Japan, you’ve been there, but… I just didn’t know. I just want to cut out all the middle stages. I don’t want to work our way up to even representation, etc. I just want to cut ahead to the bit where no one else even notices or thinks about it. “People look different in different places. Hurrah. Next?” You know?
I’ve never really been a minority. I was American in London - which even then, I didn’t feel like a minority. I just… YOU ARE JUST SO EVA THAT I DON’T EVEN. You’re Eva. You’re just… Eva. I do not want you to be creeped or soul-sucked. I want you to just WHEEE at the SHINY!!!!! etc. :[
So true. And choosing particular battles doesn’t mean we somehow don’t care about the other issues, just that this world...
Hey, I’m all for whatever works. Fiction is about making the world we want to see real, which is important. That’s why I...
