2005 kids... This is a question for you! I am constantly forgetting how old I am... Physically, I am 15. Mentally, I am 20. Emotionally, I am both a tired 4 year old and Aizawa Shouta from MHA. So, when I talk with people, I act like I was born in 2000. And intellectually, I know that I’m 15, born in 2005. Anyone else, or just me?
The worst part is when I forget my actual age, and just use my friends ages as reference. They are all adults!!! And having grown up as the ‘mature’ one in the family, I was treated as the oldest, despite my brother being 2 years older. I grew up being treated as 3 years older than I actually was. The other day, my friend and I were talking about Wattpad, and I calculated having started reading at 13. I said I started reading in 2013, when I was 8. That was an interesting problem to explain. And all my friends forget that I am 15, so they offer to let me come with on their midnight high runs to the McDonalds in the subdivision. Can anyone relate?!
An adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in a world in which the fictional character/literary juggernaut Sherlock Holmes, and all the subsequent adaptations thereof, still exist.
Sherlock Holmes (pronounced Holl-mess, as he is constantly reminding people) just had the misfortune of having parents who really liked the books, and his attitude towards his fictional counterpart is pretty much the same as that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sherlock runs a Youtube Theory channel called Mysteries Unwrapped with Sherlock Holmes. He has received no less than seven cease and desist letters from the Conan Doyle estate, all of which he has so faded managed to rebuff by pointing out that that's literally his name.
(No he won't change his name. He's Sherlock Holmes the real live human person. Let Sherlock Holmes the non existent fictional character change his name.)
John is Sherlock's flatmate. Sherlock almost refused to live with him once he realised that it would mean staying with a medical student named John, and only gave in once John pointed out that: a) he's a biomedical student, which is completely different from an md, and b) his surname isn't Watson.
It's now been three years, which is long enough for them to have developed a genuine friendship, and for John to have a) started working towards his PhD in biotechnology, and b) for him to start dating somebody with the surname Watson.
Sherlock can feel the narrative closing in.
His Youtube channel is meant to be focused on lost media, fan theories and stuff like that, but he keeps accidentally stumbling upon and then solving genuine crimes.
His brother Mycroft may or may not have chosen that name after he transitions specifically to annoy him.
He doesn't even live in London, but somehow the only flat they could afford was on a street named fucking Baker Street.
Sherlock Holmes and the Unescapable Power of the Narrative.
I was watching tiktoks, and someone was wearing a black marching band uniform and I had to remind myself it is not a MCR shirt. I am now dead.
Guys, I was listening to S1E17, and when they get coffee just after Dean puts itching powder in Sam's clothes... The name the barista uses for Dean is Jensen?!?!!!!!!??!?!!!!!
This movie is so important.. it really talks about how growing up in the system, and getting bullied in school creates criminals. and i dont use villains when I say this, because as far as we know, megamind never really hurt anyone. this is importrant, because while roxanne got kidnapped, I dont think she ever got hurt. Unless she is really good at masking, then I think she felt safe knowing megamind and Hejduk dont really want to hurt anyone. they were taught the only meaningful relationship they could have would be with Megamind as rivals.
Like, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he grew up being rejected, and the only way he knew to get affection, was to inconvenience Metroman. talk about breeding criminals
yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad
I got to hold a 500,000 year old hand axe at the museum today.
It's right-handed
I am right-handed
There are grooves for the thumb and knuckle to grip that fit my hand perfectly
I have calluses there from holding my stylus and pencils and the gardening tools.
There are sharper and blunter parts of the edge, for different types of cutting, as well as a point for piercing.
I know exactly how to use this to butcher a carcass.
A homo erectus made it
Some ancestor of mine, three species ago, made a tool that fits my hand perfectly, and that I still know how to use.
Who were you
A man? A woman? Did you even use those words?
Did you craft alone or were you with friends? Did you sing while you worked?
Did you find this stone yourself, or did you trade for it? Was it a gift?
Did you make it for yourself, or someone else, or does the distinction of personal property not really apply here?
Who were you?
What would you think today, seeing your descendant hold your tool and sob because it fits her hands as well?
What about your other descendant, the docent and caretaker of your tool, holding her hands under it the way you hold your hands under your baby's head when a stranger holds them.
Is it bizarre to you, that your most utilitarian object is now revered as holy?
Or has it always been divine?
Or is the divine in how I am watching videos on how to knap stone made by your other descendants, learning by example the way you did?
Tomorrow morning I am going to the local riverbed in search of the appropriate stones, and I will follow your example.
The first blood spilled on it will almost certainly be my own, as I learn the textures and rhythm of how it's done.
Did you have cuss words back then? Gods to blaspheme when the rock slips and you almost take your thumbnail off instead? Or did you just scream?
I'm not religious.
But if spilling my own blood to connect with a stranger who shared it isn't partaking in the divine
I don't know what is.
