Queer Bookworm

Salutations! I'm Jessica, and this is the blog of a nutty, slightly obsessive, bisexual, teenaged, feminist, fannish, internet activist. Therefore, you ought to expect lots of LGBTQ+, feminism, anti-racism, shipping, and general fandom nonsense, including but not limited to Harry Potter, Star Trek (TOS, Reboot, and DS9), Merlin, Psych, Community, Elementary, various other incarnations of Sherlock Holmes, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Homestuck, The Avengers, Doctor Who, Supernatural, cats, other assorted adorable animals and various other things which have a tendency to be shiny, squeeable and/or very, very gay. Any oppressed group I'm a member of, I'm an activist for, and any that I'm not, I try to be an ally for. Please, call me out on my bullshit whenever it occurs. I'm a seventeen year old high school graduate (skipped a grade, woohoo), and I want to be a novelist or a geneticist. Perhaps both, but probably not at the same time. I tag the shit out of everything, so 1) my blog is apparently an awesome reference point, and 2) I really won't mind if you need me to tag something for Tumblr Savior. I don't do followbacks unless you're fandom or SJ and I like what you post. If you want me to check out your blog, go ahead and ask. I might not follow you (I tried to keep the number of people I follow pretty low), but I will at the very least look at it! Currently single. ;) You can follow me on Twitter, too! I post a lot of stuff on there that never makes it here. Talk to me! I get bored easily; you can help alleviate that boredom! :D I'm most likely to be active between the hours of ten AM and ten PM, Eastern Standard Time.

nerdyvixen:

Let’s get one thing clear at the outset: I am a Nu!Whovian. I will be honest and admit that I’ve seen only bits and pieces of the classic series, and that is something that I would like to watch in the future. Still, the reboot was my introduction to the series; I started with Nine during Spring Break four years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s not a series without flaws—indeed, that’s about as far away from the truth as it can be—but it’s a good series and an important one. Through the eyes of an alien come again and again to Earth, we as an audience, however consciously, are called to examine what it is that makes us good and what makes us human. We laugh, we cry, we ship frantically and passionately. A show that can elicit that kind of response has to be good for something, at least.

However, I can also argue that while good responses are evoked by this show, there are also a lot of troubling issues that are brought up as well. I think we see this most prevalently in the Moffat-verse. This isn’t to say that RTD doesn’t have his share of problems (Christ metaphor, anyone? Rather, anyone who DIDN’T catch onto that? Too subtle, RTD!), but for me, the Moffat-verse is the most problematic, mostly in terms of how Moffat himself deals with women and female characters.

This extends into the other works of his that I’ve seen, namely Sherlock and Coupling. I can’t make the blanket statement and say that all of his works raise this issue because I simply haven’t seen all of it, but from his more popular shows, I feel that his treatment of women is at best troubling and at the worst, downright misogynist.

So you can tl;dr this, call me a crazy feminist, and tell me I’m reading too much into this—and honestly, you may be right. Still, this is an issue I have to take into consideration when I watch Who now, when I sit there and frantically wait for Sherlock to start, and so, this results.

I deduce there is nothing under my microscope

very observant 

I laughed way too hard at this.

New headcanon - Looking into the microscope is Sherlock’s equivalent of a kid putting their fingers in their ears and going “la la la I can’t  hear you”
So whenever John nags him about leaving heads in the fridge or toes in the sink or something, he goes and “looks busy” on the microscope, even if there’s nothing there.
John’s totally aware of what he’s doing, but he finds it too amusing and endearing to call Sherlock out on it.

Good god the slide he has laying around on the table isn’t even designed to be used with that kind of microscope. You don’t use glass slides with dissecting microscopes as far as I know

So, I’ve heard a lot of people say, “Oh, Sherlock doesn’t do this in canon, oh, that’s not right” except, funnily enough, he does. I don’t know what you guys have been taking as canon, and GOD HELP YOU if it’s BBC Sherlock because you’ll see a gigantic difference one chapter into “A Study in Scarlet”. John’s all but an invalid who “object[s] to rows because [his] nerves are shaken” and Sherlock is so damn enthusiastic to meet him that he’s practically a puppy. 

So here’s the thing, get your canon straight. Click the link above to go to every single piece of Sherlock canon, since it’s long been part of public domain, and read before you criticize.

  1. When they cite Rose, Martha and Donna as proof of his brilliance.
  2. When they cite River as proof of his brilliance. (Further reasoning- she may be badass but everything she has ever done was centered around the Doctor and NOTHING ELSE.)
  3. Actually, when they think that a female being able to kick ass makes them a good character. Because, guess what? It doesn’t. When Clara, Amy, and River are being used to sex-up ass-kickery and yet live their entire lives centered around dudes, that’s not being a strong character, that’s him writing his dream girl. And if it was once, it would be okay. But he literally writes the same girl over and over again. He got lucky with Sally Sparrow.
  4. IRENE ADLER DOESN’T FUCKING COUNT BECAUSE HE DIDN’T COME UP WITH HER CHARACTER AND ALSO MADE HER LESS BAD ASS THAN THE SOURCE MATERIAL, SO SUCK MY NON-EXISTENT DICK.
