The Katana myth again...
petermorwood:
The Japanese sword is a good weapon. What it’s not is some weird combination of Excalibur and lightsabre.
The European longsword is a good weapon. What it’s not is some weird combination of iron club and barbell.
It would be easy to adopt the approach displayed by some, er, uncritically enthusiastic katana-fans, which is to hit capslock, shout, swear and diss every other sword...

Writing In The Daylight ~ Dancing In The Night:... →
beautifulfic:
Roughly every six weeks, my parents try to convince me that my writing is a waste of time. Not making money therefore irrelevant. This week, we went along the lines of “change the names and publish it”

How Sherlock Moved In With John
Just consider this from canon:
I had returned to civil practice and had finally abandoned Holmes in his Baker Street rooms, although I continually visited him and occasionally even persuaded him to forgo his Bohemian habits so far as to come and visit us.
So imagine it. Context suggests (though other Holmes fans familiar with canon may want to correct me) that Watson’s clinical practice...

“One of the most remarkable characteristics of Sherlock Holmes was his power of...”
– Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, His Last Bow (via polymnia)
…And this is something that so often gets dropped out by those who don’t know canon. The moments when Sherlock says (paraphrasing here, but the cites are easily produced) “Screw this, Watson, let’s go out to Romano’s...
reneausten asked: Oh, my. . . you are on Tumblr! I am such a big fan--your writing has influenced my own in some very significant ways! I'm so grateful to you for sharing your talent and skill and passionate love for writing all of these years. I just re-read "My Enemy, My Ally" only last week! :)
rainywithachanceofstars asked: I was about to ask if you watched Teen Wolf, but I realized you probably reblogged that post for the Bestiary interpretation and not the show. Nevertheless, it made me happy to see that on my dash.

Who was it has the cool poem about Persephone...
Someone enlighten me please. It crossed the dashboard a couple of months ago and now I can’t find it and I want to show it to Peter.
ETA: Ok: got it. (There have been a number of variations on the theme, but the one I was thinking of: it’s here (among various other places).
Under the cut: “Persephone Lied”

The truth is, I was bored. My mother blissing ahead of me,...

UNIMODUS IS NOT A DICK
Let’s just all be clear here, okay? NOT. A DICK.
I got the joke. My problem is that I thought the OP was someone else. SORRY, love.
Per someone else’s comment (“She’s old and didn’t get the joke.”):
…The occasional addition of a smiley is indeed of more-than-occasional assistance in this medium for us elderly ancients.

The Argents' Bestiary: Phallic Unicorns, Ball-less...
keriarentikai:
Because I can’t help but pick at Latin-related minutia, I was curious about the Argents’ Bestiary. I established here why it couldn’t actually be in Archaic Latin, so what is it?
After many hours of labour, I can tell you. You will here find discussions of the texts used, images and translations (mostly my own) of what the pages shown in Teen Wolf say.
And don’t blame me...

rembrandtswife:
… or is the plot of the third-season TNG episode “The Defector” essentially the same as the plot of Diane Duane’s My Enemy, My Ally?
Ron Moore is a good friend of ours. We’ve been his houseguests (Peter experienced his first earthquake at Ron’s) and he’s been ours: we’ve enjoyed each others’ work: I’ve pitched to him, and I would love it if...

When I was little I thought being an adult meant not having a bed time but I’ve come to realize that it just means being in charge of my own bed time and it turns out that I am not equipped to handle that responsibility.
NOT JUST YOU.
