Everyone keeps trying to invent a "new take" on modern Sherlock Holmes, and I am begging someone to have the courage to make "The most annoying gay couple you can imagine has a 95% solve rate for crimes and they don't even fucking work here, we just can't seem to kick them out."
My ideal modern Sherlock Holmes show? Picture exactly Psych, but Shawn & Gus are married.
Actually this also work if it's set in the 1890s, they just won't have the same official paperwork.
I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.
I hate some of the language around disability. I’m not an inspiration and I’m not lazy either. Those aren’t the only options. I’m just a person trying my best like everyone else, disabled or not.
I’m not a “warrior,” at best I’m a “tolerator”
As I always say, Alien is a feminist film not just because of the kickass female protagonist, but more importantly, because the cat survives.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."
Not the MAIN point (knowing your children) but I make a lot of worksheets and activities that often mean it is helpful for me to search online for "list of positive traits" or "examples how to describe yourself" etc and those all already exist. No need to treat this as a novel invention!
Also the 3 descriptors in the piece are SO vague. "Creative" instead of "does amazing watercolors" or "always making up brilliant songs" like give us SOMETHING
I hate that nowadays when a character is super good at puzzles the show makes them related to Sherlock Holmes. In the 2000s when a character was super good at puzzles it was just because they were heavily implied, but never stated, to be autistic.
House MD was both.
Okay what’s really getting to me about this is that Jane Austen is also public domain. You could have a character who is descended from the Darcys or the Knightleys instead.
Okay 2 things:
1. Original Sherlock Holmes actually does a lot of matchmaking so presenting this as a twist is already like “oh they don’t give a shit”
2. I can forgive your protagonist being straight Sherlock Holmes, but being white straight Kitty Song-Covey is too far

Choosing to reframe this. It is very ace of me to be contagious so no one comes near me. It is very ace to use my bed all day for its intended purpose (sleep, snacking). It is very aro of me to take care of myself and be secure in that.
