Mycroft is a very complex character. Somehow, he’s the key to Sherlock.
Steven Moffat – BBC Sherlock – (x)
The “I am a piece of shit and nobody will ever love me” factoid is actually a statistical error. You are actually are fantastic and infinitely worthy of people’s company. That person you used to care about, who taught you to hate yourself by abandoning you, is an outlier and should not have been counted
this is the greatest and most positive use of a meme that i have ever seen.
[Jack, to Agnes:] ‘I guess I’m just looking for a home.’
‘And is Torchwood really your home?’
Jack shrugged. ‘Sometimes, I think so. Sometimes not. And then I’ll go travelling for a bit. Or do something totally different. I had a brief spell in life insurance. Yeah, I know. Didn’t last long. Then there was the burger bar on Bondi Beach. That was fun. But I always come back to Torchwood.’

And laughing, too.

Reblog if you’ve ever read fan-fiction that actually set the bar higher.
#yup#it’s so hard to read published fiction now#so much of it is just sooo baaad#but like#part of the gate keeper effect to publishing#is that they don’t get inundated with all these stories using similar tropes#tropes don’t get refined like they do in fanfiction#published fiction ends up feeling cliche and clunky and incredibly slow#where fanfiction works through every possible iteration of a trope or a technique in a matter of months#and then comes back and turns old beloved tropes on their heads#while published fiction is still floundering with the basics of something that fanfiction explored in depth years ago#it’s like when someone shows you a ‘cool new funny meme’ from fb#and you’re like#that was on tumblr in 2007#and it’s not even a particularly good example of the meme#it’s a mediocre example at best#from before the meme really got going and people got really imaginative#that’s how published fiction feels to me these days#in comparison to fanfiction#anyway#tag talking#fanfiction#reading (via)
