Forget

(part of this was taken from "Mistress of Rome" novel by Kate Quinn so it's not fully mine. however, i changed it a bit so here's my version)

Forget him. I wanted to. For that, I spent my time praying and kneeling in church.

But God had said "no". You will not forget him so easily. You will know everything about him, to the bottom of his soul. Every one who passes down the street will remind you of him. You will have the knowledge, but not him. Have the memories, but not him. The sound of his voice will ring in your ears but nowhere will you hear it. You will start to hate his first name - and even last! - and you will curse the day you met him. Weep and pray. Lose your sleep during night, but oversleep during mornings. A year will pass and all of that will start seeming insane to you, but you, too, will almost go insane.

And when you think you've reached rock bottom and that there's no hope left, all illusions in your head will crash like a house of cards - and then you will forget him.

And God was just, because I knew all along that adoring a mortal man meant playing with fire.

My opinion on a possible Sherlock S5

So, I kinda forgot I have a tumblr account lol. But anyways, let me hop on the BBC Sherlock bandwagon because I've just finished rewatching s4 for the millionth time. And here's what I think about a possible s5

I think that s5 will not be possible - and it's not even necessary. Some spoilers ahead so please proceed with caution.

Let's be real, the whole storyline since s3 finale has been ridiculous. From Mary turning out to be an undercover assassin, to Sherlock's sister Eurus appearing out of nowhere - firstly posing as John's "friend over text messages", then as his new therapist, then as Faith, then as a little girl on a plane, but plot twist! She's been locked at Sherrinford for years!

I kinda feel like both Assassin!Mary and Eurus came out of nowhere. In Doyle's original stories, Mary is just a normal girl who meets and falls in love with John on a case, and I don't even remember Sherlock having a sister in the original stories.

I understand that the writers wanted to put a twist on the original stories and make this series unique - and I could somehow understand the Assassin!Mary storyline. I could not, however, understand, how she managed to still be friends with Sherlock after she LITERALLY SHOT HIM AND DRUGGED HIM. And then her pathetic death scene in The Six Thatchers. Even though she was trying to redeem herself the whole time, I found her annoying and it made me change my previously positive opinion about her.

Now let's talk about Eurus... Where do I even start? She made NO DAMN SENSE. I found her character ridiculous and the whole series has been ruined with her character. Making all those traps and tricks, driving Sherlock insane, playing with his emotions... It was a disaster.

MORIARTYYYYYYYY. Seriously, he was the best villain. He should have been more in the show. Or even Irene Adler. They were such great intellectual equals for Sherlock and it's such a bad how they only get thrown around for references, especially Moriarty with all that fake foreshadowing - ohh, he's coming, HAHA JUST KIDDING, THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO

And the ending of The Final Problem. I guess after suffering a traumatic experience, all of them just... went back to normal lives and old-school murder mysteries, right? If series 5 is ever announced, I could not imagine it going back to normal.

Because The Final Problem is exactly what the title says. It's Sherlock's final battle. It's supposed to wrap up the whole show. I can't even see how they would continue with ideas after this disaster. Even if s5 ever happens, the show won't be the same.

That's enough for tonight. I'll get back to tumblr, dw.

O where, o where in Heaven will my mansion be?

Will it be built in the heights of the trees or down towards the sea?

Will it have an extra Angel by the door?

Or will it be a place to Adore?

The oil lamp is lit, by the window on the plate.

I wait by the door, for the Master at the gate.

Will Mary come to take me to see her Son?

The bridgegroom awaits, He says, “it is done”.

No crying, no fear, no anger, no pain.

No sorrow, no sickness, only love remains.

Will my guardian Angel spread their wings?

When, O Angel, shall we sing?

My family surrounds me, we’ll never be apart.

O Jesus, all this time, I was kept in Your Sacred Heart.

Last night I was with you.

This morning I woke up

alone in my bed

and realized

it was just a dream.

So disappointing, but that's just life, isn't it?

lmao i was literally thinking the same thing even tho i've only read c&p

.

im afraid dostoevsky’s books have irrevocably changed my life for better (im sexier and more mysterious now) and for worse (i need psychological help)

#i ditched my fake friends #i started feeling intellectual superiority #my classmates hate me even more now bc of that #but i dont care honestly #i like it this way #dostoevsky tag

There are nights when I dream of you and then there are nights when I don't sleep.

Sonya and Rodya in Siberia ❄ [crime and punishment, fyodor dostoyevsky]

Such a cute ending

The Dostoyevsky (fandom?) on tumblr is hilarious because it's all people idolizing and drooling over Raskolnikov which is something I NEVER imagined I'd see when I originally read C&P a couple years ago? Also, while there's fewer posts about his otherworks - some of them are also jarring in the same manner. I do really enjoy seeing people enjoy his works as much, if not more, than I did/do though

[penelopesodyssey]

I just opened tumblr and freaked out as shit.

WHAT EVEN IS THIS

Not to mention the useless One Piece tab. I don't even watch/read One Piece and I don't even care about it. Plus bots, bots, more bots. What even is going on?

TUMBLR STUFF. We do not need another "One piece" segment at for you page WE NEED A BETTER MODERATION. I deleted +/- 10 sex bots already past this 2 weeks oh my god.... they keep following.

#spam bots #tumblr fix your shit #stop the bots

[penelopesodyssey]

i got followed by good ones. shoutout to troublesomemenstrua (menstruation probably?), adaptive cobweb and 'coming-pansuit420'

Glad the bots are getting creative again. Someone called starvedbottomland just followed me.

Yes, disaster can strike at any second: Tornado, earthquake, hurricane, flood, landslide, pain and death all lurk in the shadows...and it's terrifying. But isn't it also a reason to live every second to the fullest, knowing any moment may be your last?

Morning y'all bc if it was a 'good morning' I would wake up either next to him or to his message.

Anyways he probably forgot I exist, jebiga

Btw we're all fed up with these bots aren't we? They have some cool usernames though. Reporting and blocking them is becoming tiring but at least I feel easier bc the whole tumblr has this problem.

this!

If your blog is empty, has no sort of title, and a picture of a real-life woman as its pfp (as opposed to a cartoon or something), you're getting reported as a spam blog. Sorry for anyone caught in the crossfire, but the bots have been very persistent lately.
