God how I’ve missed seeing Gwendolyn Christie screaming and beating the shit out of a man on my screen! Thank you Severance for the sustenance

Again from rereading Sherlock Holmes stories, I need to know who dramatized and adapted the Granada series so I can give them a little kiss on the forehead for expanding on the themes so well. There are times I think they even improved the source material. The Dying Detective is the best example imo but Greek Interpreter might be second. Wisteria Lodge is also an improvement but that was a coincidence

@spacerelativity thank you for noticing this, you are so right!!

So normal about this line being said to the doctor in particular

As someone from konkan who called people in hilly/pahadi regions of Western Ghats "Desi" this information is even weirder...

'Desi' meant something entirely different to me growing up, tbh. We're in a mountainous region, we're from the hills so we called ourselves and the culture and the native flora and fauna 'pahadi' ('of the mountains') and that stood in opposition to 'desi' - used to mean 'of the plains'.

Then I started seeing people call themselves 'desi' to mean 'Indian', then saw it being used in a general 'south asian' sense, particularly oved the internet or in more global (but informal) contexts. I probably tagged some of my posts that had to do with something specific to India 'desi' too bc I didn't know how else to find others to talk to that stuff about but even then I never used the term for myself because it has never fit. And the kind of people I saw using it, often disapora South Asians but also particularly people from northern plain regions of India, I'd say I didn't see myself fit with their idea of desi anyway at the end of the day. And I never could get on board with using 'desi' to refer to all South Asian or even all Indian people when that's just one Hindi word, felt like ceding more ground to the homogenising of language and culture to place Hindi at the centre of the Indian identity, why would I say desi to refer to myself when I've always said pahadi, why would I say desi to refer to my friends from southern India and north east India when that's never who we referred to as 'desi' and they won't use that word in their own languages anyway, let alone why would I use it to refer to South Asians as a whole?

Obviously it's being used a certain way to have a shorthand for an identity and that's fine and whatever, and obviously there are hegemonic reasons for why That ended up being the word in common use (Hindi, north indian). I just prefer saying what I actually mean especially when I'm referring to my own identity and I think Indian, South Asian, etc etc fulfill that purpose better as far as I'm concerned

IT IS FINALLY TIME

I made the original tumblr post last month and procastinated on drawing it but i did make it true

One of the funniest consequences of attending any concert after binging TMA/TMAGP episodes is that apparently you keep imagining everyone getting brutally Slaughtered as the sharp lights flash on their half hidden faces...
