Sherlock candids (10/100)

I’m still not over his face

Hi!:) I'm Polish and here in Poland it is traditional for the bride and groom to walk down the aisle together, hand in hand. I guess some couples do the father thing, but that's rare and entirely due to foreign influence. Just thought I'd share.:)

See, that’s beautiful and just makes a lot more sense to me!

I love these backstory-to-gif posts more than anything, seriously. The corgi with the lettuce is still right up there as one of my all-time favourite things on the internet.

Men believe the family is their domain but when it comes to watching the children or doing chores suddenly it’s not their responsibility

“If hoards of men started taking their wives’ surnames, it would be an unfortunate and perhaps irreversible step towards a matriarchal goddess culture, which blows for guys because those cultures used to routinely kill male infants and treat males like slaves. In a world where there are already very few incentives for men to get legally shackled, this is one slippery slope I wouldn’t want to slide down.” - Ricky, 27

I’M SORRY BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO FEMALE CHILDREN AND WOMEN AROUND THIS WORLD??? OH YES, JUST THAT.

I feel like I need to trigger warn this as “infuriating male opinions”

Actual equality is perceived as inequality by most men. And by a lot of us women, because that’s what society has taught us. I actually grew up in a place where woman keep their surnames after marrying, so when I learned that women here are suposed to change it, I felt bewildered… Your name is a part of your identity… How could it affect U.S. men and women to be raised from birth, ones knowing that their surname will someday change to another they don’t know yet based on the man they marry, and the others, knowing that they will be called the same all their lifes and that their future wifes who they still don’t know will assume their surnames? I’m sure it has to condition them somehow. It can’t be good growing up knowing that your name, your symbollyc identity, is temporary and will be changed by a man. it has to have an impact

(and that ELijah boy is gr8t. “Listen, I’m a feminist.” Isn’t he precious? *sarcasm*)

I like how women are expected to change their last names and when the other way around is suggested, it’s so taboo and unacceptable. Hypocritical, much?

This makes me feel nauseated. Which is also how I feel about the idea of fathers walking their daughters down the aisle at weddings. Why is only the female person getting married (at, of course, a woman + man marriage) the property of her male parent? Why aren’t both participants the property of both of their parents, that need escorting and “giving” away, like parcels? Or better still, why don’t we just say that this is two adults who have made a decision to give themselves to each other, since that’s what it really is? Bonus if all the parents are on board, etc, but really not necessary in any way.

If any guy I was dating ever asked my father his permission to marry me, I would not only dump him, but punch him in the nut sack on his way out the door of my life, lol. I will say that it would be in his best interests to get my mom on board. :P

This post is nauseating, though. The erasure of identity - it matters for men, but not for women? Fuck that, and fuck it hard.

This upsets me so much. SO much!! I don’t even know if I can stomach watching the special if John and Mary are together.

… but why wouldn’t they be? I mean, that IS canon! This is the problem with having hiatus for this long - we tend to forget what canon actually is. I mean, unless (and here’s hoping!!!) that the forgiveness scene wasn’t real on John’s part, they’re back together. But, unless they’ve lied again, the special is completely unrelated to canon. That’s what they’ve said. I’m not saying whether or not I believe them, just what’s actually been presented. I fully expect John to still be with Mary in the special because we haven’t been shown a break-up. Don’t get me wrong; I want a break-up (or Mary’s death *cough*) more than anything; I’m just saying that I think it would be reasonable to expect them to be together. ????

not sure tbh. I think it’s just nice to have new material, but it’s been so long since that’s happened that my brain is frying.

In mourning =/= widow! It looks very much to me like they’re married - as they still are in canon, at least for now. Ugh. 

HELP THE SPECIAL HAS ENDED ME WHAT IS LIFE AAAHHHHH

In a good way or a bad way?

GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. That’s off my chest now. Sorry, it’s just a knee-jerk reaction of UGH NO GO AWAY NOW every time she flashed onto the screen. More of them, less of you. Please. Now. Yes. Bye. 

What thinkest thou of the Sherlock Special trailer?

I don’t even know yet! I only JUST got home after a super long day and I haven’t had time to watch it more than once, and that was on my phone, so - I’m way behind! These things always happen on days when I’m massively busy!!! Going to see my dash now!
