Did you notice that Sherlock said that John spend too much time on dancing lessons?can you image John enjoying it so much that he asks Sherlock even though he already knows how to do it right

inevitably-johnlocked:

OF COURSE I DID. I CRY EVERY TIME. OH GOSH. THE DANCING LESSONS ARE STILL FOREVER ENGRAINED IN SHERLOCK’S BRAIN. HE THOUGHT THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT, BUT NOT ENOUGH TIME TALKING.

OMG. Mini meta time:

Since this sequence is in Sherlock’s head, can we presume that Sherlock thinks they spend too much time DANCING AROUND EACH OTHER instead of TALKING TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?? Sherlock doesn’t think John understands the things Sherlock is trying to say to him. Because what does Watson do in this scene?

John’s confused at the whole conversation that transpired. The same one where Sherlock told Wilder that he and John were ‘together’. Yeah, Sherlock wants to talk about them being together for real, and he thinks John won’t understand when Sherlock will eventually bring it up.

Boom, best meta I’ve ever written.

I hate it when people are like, “I’d draw more, but I suck”.

Guys.

Guys.

You’re always gonna suck at the beginning. I sucked, your favourite artist sucked, your Cool Artist Friend used to draw faux Disney paws when they started out.

Art isn’t easy. It’s actually pretty lame sometimes.

But if you don’t draw… If you hold yourself back? You’re never going to improve. Being self-depreciating in your work won’t help you, because if you don’t appreciate your effort, do you really expect others to?

Be confident. Open commissions, take trades, even if you’re fucking terrible. Someone will want your art, someone will want to help you grow, and you’ll gain experience by drawing things in ways you’ve never drawn before.

Please don’t believe that you can’t get there, or that people won’t appreciate gifts or fanart because you’re not Picasso. It sounds silly, but the heart of what you draw is what matters, the effort you put in, how hard you try to get better.

So don’t worry about it. Just relax, and draw. Draw people, draw furries, draw fuckloads of porn. It doesn’t matter.

Just create.

I believe in you.

To our all precious artists

if you ever feel like it’s just too late for something, remember that michael keaton virtually vanished from hollywood for twenty years and now he’s starred in the best picture oscar winning film for two years running.

I teach a class called ‘Decolonize Your Diet,’ and I talk about the Spaniards arriving in Mesoamerica. One of the first things they tried to change—in addition to religion— was the way people ate. They introduced wheat and tried to make eating bread something that was seen as more valuable than eating corn. They outlawed amaranth, and in South America they outlawed quinoa.

I tell my students to think about how the dominant powers are invested in controlling what their subjects eat, and then to take that concept from the 1500s to our contemporary era and ask themselves, ‘What are the powers that be wanting us to eat right now? Where are all the food subsidies going? How is that influencing what we’re eating? Who’s benefiting and who’s suffering because of that?’ For students, drawing those connections is really powerful, and it gives them a tangible way to analyze relations of power.
