[ELEMENTARY SPOILERS DON’T LOOK] But the final hour is called “Heroine” for a reason, as this is also a story about Joan Watson at the end of the day. In a case where Sherlock is at his weakest, and when he is unable to realize that the path to victory is failure because it means acknowledging that failure is even a possibility, it is Joan who sees more clearly. Joan isn’t afraid of Moriarty, but is rather protective of Sherlock (as both his sober companion and his partner), and the confusion that Moriarty’s emergence creates within Sherlock creates surety for Joan. If Sherlock only sees puzzles and Moriarty only sees games, Watson sees actual people: her interest in Sherlock is human, the kind of relationship that Moriarty can’t even imagine (referring to her as a mascot at one point in their lunch date). While the truth about Moriarty robs Sherlock of the most striking, human connection he believed he had ever made, the resulting investigation reaffirms a more powerful connection in his partnership with Joan, the newly discovered species of Euglossa watsonia a metaphor for what happens when an extremely rare bee miraculously unexpectedly finds a compatible partner.

what if I lived in world where every time someone said “a million times more” I could say “really, a million times?” and they wouldn’t get defensive and either we would all smile at the hyperbole or we would all have a serious discussion about where we’re getting our numbers from or maybe both

“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of  how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

Kel commits treason by defying orders and going behind enemy lines. Thirty-two of her friends and allies immediately take off after her to help.

Kel. I think it’s pretty safe to say you have the best friends ever.

azurewren:

A fantasy story where three siblings are named Could, Would, and Should. On the last page, they are all knighted and given lands, thus providing me with the chance to write, “Could of,” “Would of,” and, “Should of,” in a grammatically proper way.

This isn’t really all that related, but in one of the many ongoing stories my father told us as children, there was a litter of kittens who were all named things you say after “oh,” such as “Dear” and “Brother” and “Great” and “Kay.” 

“Oh, joy,” said [character].

“Meow,” said Joy.

Donald Duck and Goofy team up with Final Fantasy world characters to save the Disney princesses.  They fly through space on a ship made of “gummis” but you don’t get to eat the gummis.  Oh, and instead of a proper weapon, the main character wields a giant key. You stare at some cards and hope to find lines in (Z/3)^4.
