“River was more then gifted. She was a gift.” - Simon Tam, from Firelfy
I got bored last night and wrote this on my wrist. I just always really loved that quote.
If I ever get a text tattoo, I want this person to do the writing…
In Which Ms. Ellen MacLean has a Tumblr
This is all rather new to me, so you will find a broad assortment of things, from my obsessions with Steampunk, The Doctor and Buffy to random knitting and crafting projects I deem worthy.
9Liz really wanted me to watch Firefly
but when I saw all the hatred, anger, and degradation against women in the very first episode I never wanted to see it again.
Wait, hold on, are we even watching the same show? The one with two—no, three—wait lets make that at least four—of the most bad-ass females to ever grace the screen? There are some problematic issues with the “extraordinary girl” sort of trope, but this show tackles some really important feminist issues, including the right of a woman to choose her partners and occupation, women in the military, women as skilled scientists and engineers…I’m feeling like we might have been watching different shows here.
So you know all those news stories about people acting really really crazy?
and how people are like “ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!!”?
Well… what if it’s Reavers instead? What if like… the US government has been exposing the public to some experimental drug to make the public docile and it’s basically doing to people what the Pax did in Serenity?
I only say this because these peeps sound like they’ve gone crazy… not like they’re the dead coming back to life.
When did I turn into a conspiracy theory blog?

WHY MUST YOU MIX MY TWO TRAGIC OTPS. FUCKING GODDAMMIT FUCK YOU JUST AHRGI;OEHARGOIAEH
This needs a fic or something. I need to write one anyway. I have no other way to get rid of the feels.—
Mycroft looked at the army doctor in front of him, knowing full well that he didn’t want to be there. However, Sherlock had specifically requested that Mycroft check up on John frequently to make sure the man did nothing drastic, as Sherlock feared he would.
However, like his younger brother, Mycroft Holmes was not one for small talk or comforting.
“It’s been over a year, John.”
John said nothing, merely looking down at his untouched cup of coffee. Sighing, Mycroft leaned back in his chair. Why couldn’t Sherlock just tell John that he was alive and put an end to this little game of his? If Mycroft were ever a man for having half a mind, he would have had one to tell John the truth himself.
“We used to come here,” John said after a moment. “Sherlock and I, that is. Usually after he’d finished up at crime scenes.”
Mycroft nodded, not knowing what else to do. He supposed he should just let John talk. That was how he had heard people should be comforted, after all.
“He was happy, you know?” John continued. “Solving those crimes made him smile…made him laugh…it made him human.”
“I don’t know about human,” Mycroft muttered under his breath, but John either didn’t hear him or chose to ignore him.
“He was more than my best friend. He was—” But John cut off, digging the heels of his palms into his eyes. Mycroft considered telling him that this was not particularly good for his eyesight, but he figured that John did not really care about optical health right now.
And then—
“John…are you crying?”
John hastily wiped the telltale salty drop off of his cheek. “No, no I’m not.”
“You can’t lie to me.”
John was silent, his eyes still covered.
“You love my brother, John Watson.”
John froze for a second and moved as if to deny what Mycroft had said, but finally nodded, affirming what Mycroft had held merely as a loosely supported theory.
“After all this time?”
John looked up, finally meeting Mycroft’s gaze for the first time in months.
“Always.”
