It's Only the End if You Want it to Be

oh my god I could never keep up with that much I’d melt under the stress of it
It’s not stressful at all! I mean, obviously I recognized long ago that I’d never be able to catch up on my dash every time I visited tumblr.
I just check up on my close friends’ blogs periodically, to be sure I haven’t missed anything.
I just noticed that I’m currently at 555 followers, and 555 people that I follow.
And no, they’re not all the same people. There are a number of blogs I follow who don’t follow me back, and vice versa. So there’s no reason that number should be the same.
But it is, and it’s 555, which is a cool number in and of itself.
How weird is that?!
Are we going to talk about the fact that Joan has discussed that conversation with him?
We know she was angry and kept it all bottled up in the restaurant but when she finally got back to Sherlock she must have let lose about what Moriarty said. I’m guessing we caught the end of it in Gregson’s office.
I think she was especially mad about being called a mascot; that’s why he picks up on it in his confrontation with Moriarty, because it upset Joan the most, so he takes the thing that hurt her and throws it back in Moriarty’s face to prove Joan’s power, to use the insult as a tool of Joan’s power.
In writing everything is done with a purpose; there are no accidents. “The Mascot.” is it’s own sentence to truely emphasise Joan’s place in this world, because if you’ve made it through 24 episodes and still think Joan Watson is a sidekick, this scene proves you very much wrong.
This one line takes Sherlock and Joan’s equality and brands it into the very heart of the show: In Elementary, there’s no such thing as a sidekick.

Noone makes fun of Taylor Swift like Taylor Swift makes fun of Taylor Swift
I absolutely adore the smirk at the end of the second gif. It’s like ‘haters gonna hate’ in facial expression form.

Why does DC hate beautiful and perfect friendships :(
You know what I love about this?
So often with team books like this, or any situation where the writer wants to create a strong relationship, you see these relationships more or less emerging out of nowhere. They’ve known each other for two issues, and all of a sudden you’ll get these really extreme statements, like “YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO’S EVER BEEN THERE FOR ME” or “THIS TEAM IS THE ONLY FAMILY I’VE EVER HAD”, and it always rings pretty false, because we haven’t seen that relationship develop, and more often than not these extreme statements are just contradicting previous history.
What I love about this team is that it’s so sweet and touching, but it’s understated. It makes sense for where the team is at this point. Some of these teammates know each other from before, of course (Dick, Donna, Wally), but as a whole they’re still getting to know each other, like Dick says here. And there’s a bond that’s starting to form, but it’s not as strong as it’s going to be someday.
Eventually, you see the Titans get to the point where they refer to the team as their family, and at that point, it has weight - because we’ve truly seen them loving each other and supporting each other as a family. We’ve seen those relationships develop.
But here, we’re not at that point yet. Relationships don’t start with “You guys are like family to me”, out of nowhere. Relationships don’t start with “I love you”.
Relationships start with “I really like all of you so much. As friends.”

Top 13 Favorite Teen Titans Episodes: #9 Haunted (S3 Ep31)
Hard as I try to pick the more lighthearted and adventurous episodes, I guess I am just attracted to the darker ones. Maybe it’s because they have some of the best character development overall.
Slade has been out of the picture for a while since they saw him do a back flop into a chasm of magma/lava at the season 2 finale. The Titans have moved on from Slade. All except for Robin, who just can’t seem to shake the feeling that Slade is not actually gone. After a criminal named Cinder block stirs some trouble, Robin begins seeing Slade, the problem he is the only one who can see him. Has Slade really returned? Or is Robin’s obsession making him suffer a mental break?
When I think about it, Robin never got too much development. If he did it wasn’t really anything too deep. Not to say that he didn’t come across as a complex or even a 3dimensional character by any means, but I feel that more could have been explored. At the same time I feel like for this incarnation of Robin enough was said and showed to make him a good character and a good leader of our team. That being said, this episode was a great one in terms of fleshing out Robin’s complexities.
Robin is kind of hard to pin down in terms of what kind of person he is, though that might have to do with whoever was writing the episode at the time. One thing I noticed though that was consistent is that Robin has the tendency to be an obsessive recluse, especially when it came to Slade. Not hard to see why, considering everything that has transpired between them over the course of the series thus far. Also, considering that Robin was raised by the master of being a brooding, obsessive recluse, it is no surprise that his behavior is the way it is.
Yet the most interesting part I find about this episode is that it shows the damage that this behavior can do to oneself and to others. Obsession can destroy the mind and the relationships around you. Also that one must learn to let go in order to move on and become stronger or else you give the object of that obsession power over you.
I feel like what happens here is kind of made pointless by later events in later seasons but as a stand alone episode it has a great atmosphere and a great message. Definitely give this one a watch sometime :D
*If anyone wishes to reblog this, please do it as a text post so it wont be cut off. Thank you*

Yes but we don’t seek to control you for our own selfish gains.
Or, maybe you just haven’t revealed yourselves yet. Maybe we’re still in the honeymoon phase where you say all the right things and make me feel totally loved and accepted and needed, and then sooner or later you’re going to pull back the mask and reveal that it’s all been part of some sinister plot.
#i love how obvious it is that the team is kind of new in the first season #like at first you just assume they’ve been at this for a while but #this is really the first time anyone has reached out to raven and tried to understand her #and that means a lot to her and now she really feels like part of them #like she’s found a place that will be good for her
