Well, they ARE both Disney…

I’d ship it.

Job hunting should be like shopping. All I should have to do is say “one job, please,” and it should just happen.

reports that I have been eaten by one of the big five have been greatly exaggerated.

Tumblr, you and I are on a break

it’s not you, it’s me. I’m moving to the other side of the world. So, you know, I’m going to be busy for a while.

One day I’m going to write that story where Ranma turns into Sailor Moon when splashed with cold water which manages to be both Usagi/Mamoru and Ranma/Akane. One day.

one of my tiny fandoms is almost all-female, with a couple of dudes who are interested and participate too, and that’s all fine

but this one guy

this one guy

has to bring up that he’s a dude in every situation

usually with ultra wordy pseudo-intellectual posts

it makes me want to cry tears of hilarity

I’ve had this song stuck in my head for like three days now

Now you can too

eta: man I hadn’t actually watched this before, what’s with that ending, Popular already did that like ten years ago jeez

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King. It’s a series about a young girl - Mary, obvs - who meets Sherlock Holmes, and having proved to have the potential to become as good a detective as him becomes his apprentice.

It’s an OK series. I have some problems with it, both in terms of writing and in the interpretation of Holmes canon, but it’s light and enjoyable.

The most fun part comes from reading all the reviews from Holmes fans calling her a Mary Sue. Because Sherlock Holmes is allowed to be incredibly smart, fit, have a deep appreciation of music, an amazing acting ability which allows him to don any disguise, have countless bits of knowledge in a variety of areas, and (of course) be the world’s greatest detective, but give a woman half of these traits and that’s justsilly.

Stephen Colbert, king of nerds.

Mr. Franco, that was ill-advised.

Bless you, Colbert.

Real geeks: the ones who actually have fun with their geekery :D

Why is it in TV cop/detective shows victims always have perfectly spotless homes?

If I was robbed the detective would be all “the way the perp ransacked your room makes it look like they were searching for something… in particular” and I’d be all “no, it looks like while they were reaching for my laptop, which was accidentally partially hidden under a blanket and a pile of Mills and Boons that I’m totally reading for scientific research, they tripped over my pile of clean laundry that I’m definitely going to put away, like, tonight, and went headfirst into my pile of dirty laundry which, look, I ran out of washing powder a couple of days ago and just haven’t go to the store yet, OK?”
