savethetexasprairiechicken asked: Oh, why not then! Lust, sloth, envy, gluttony, wrath, greed. If anyone else were going to ask, they would have by now. xD

Hooray! :D

Lust: Men in glamour drag. What I mean by glamour drag is basically long formal dresses, corsets, heels, posh-looking underwear, make-up which isn’t applied with the intent to look fake… Essentially, things which bring out a man’s feminine features, without it mocking a man for being feminine. Serious love for that. :)

Sloth: I don’t really hate anything about myself. I’ve learnt to love my body and my personality and my mind. Yeah, my eyes are freaky, but it doesn’t mean I hate don’t like them. (And anyway, after seeing this pic, I’m freaked out by ANY eyes FOR LIFE.)

The irises look hairy and lumpy. Yet they don’t feel that way. HOW DOES THAT NOT FREAK YOU OUT?!

If I was going to say something that annoyed me, it would be my clitoris, because A) it isn’t a penis, and B) I can’t piss standing up with it. Otherwise I’m happy. ;)

Envy: I don’t really wish for anything. If I want to be better at something, I go out and work on getting better. Of course, I often feel like giving up after a short amount of time. I guess that’s something I would like to improve on - will power. I am getting there, though! :D

Gluttony: That’s a tie between coconut macaroons and salted peanuts, depending on the time of year. I freaking LOVE these things - literally, if I go shopping for groceries on a budget, I will happily go over budget to buy a pack of these things. It’s a serious addiction, though I’m trying to cut back on them because otherwise I try and live on them. And that isn’t good. I love my body too much to let it go that far though.

Wrath: I’m generally calm, but I do have a few irritants. One of the only things that drives me up the wall (besides gluten and dairy) is when people end statements with question marks. Like say I said “I hate strawberry ice cream and chilies. What about you?”, it would be really annoying if they replied “I hate that too?”. It makes you seem shallow, passive, always seeking someone’s approval and a real doormat. And that’s one thing I can’t stand.

Greed: Hmm… I couldn’t live without my confidence. I admit, when I was in the early years of puberty, I was a doormat. I cared too much what people thought, so I acted like they wanted me to act, and I didn’t have the confidence to be myself. This in turn drove me o SH, anorexia and to contemplating suicide later on.

But now I have the confidence to be myself, I am much happier. I still struggle with eating, but that’s more habit than feeling. I don’t SH or contemplate suicide anymore (unless I’ve eaten gluten/dairy - that shiz is basically like a drug to my body, and it pushes me completely out of whack). I’m much healthier, and I have much more energy to do things.

So, confidence. Couldn’t live without it.

savethetexasprairiechicken asked: Pride! Although I want to ask all of them. Heh. ^_^

Ooh, one thing I like about myself! (Only one?!)

If you asked me this a year ago, I would’ve said eyes. Then I saw a close up picture of eyes, and found them really rather freaky, and not as pretty close up. Plus I didn’t really have much self-esteem then, so meh.

But nowadays, I’m more confident with myself, and there are things I like better than my eyes. But my all time favourite thing would be… my confidence. I love how confident I am. I mean, I know I’m going to walk into social situations and probably act completely different to the norm, but I like that. I have a fresh perspective on a situation, and I’m not afraid to act differently. I feel there are some people who appreciate that quality in me, that appreciate that I’m not afraid to be unorthodox, and there are some who prefer the norm, but I’m happy the way I am.

(Go on, ask all of them. ;) )

Reblogging again, to get the message out, for those who didn’t see it.

Gym comes from the greek word for “the naked place, or the place to be naked?”

Why do people not go to the gym naked? Working out would be cooler if everyone was nude.

SHERLOCK IS NOT A GAY POSITIVE SHOW

SHERLOCK IS NOT A GAY POSITIVE SHOW

SHERLOCK IS NOT A GAY POSITIVE SHOW

The closest thing in Sherlock to queer representation was Irene Alder who said she was gay and then fell in love with Sherlock. (make of that what you will.)

The whole show is about two heterosexual men. And one of those men, Watson, spends about half an hour each episode telling everyone ever that he and Sherlock are not a couple.

That is not gay representation.

I repeat: that is not gay representation.

And fuck you if you think that is representation.

A show having a large slash fandom does not count as representation.

I’m sure there a many legitimate criticisms of Elementary, but accusing the show of being homophobic because Watson is played a women is not one of them.

I cannot say this enough times: Sherlock is not a gay positive show.

Sherlock is not a progressive show in terms of representation. It is about two white cis heterosexual men solving crimes.

The fact that Elementary has a women of color as a main character pretty much already makes it more progressive than Sherlock. 

And furthermore if you watch Elementary you are under no obligation to ship Sherlock/Watson. I’m sure that there will be at least one other dude you can find. 

And listen, Sherlock is a good show and Elementary existing is not gonna change that. You are under no obligation to watch it. You are under no obligation to even acknowledge it.

I just really want people to understand that, sincerely. Sherlock is an AMAZING show on so many levels.

This is not one of them.

Having subtext and (perceived?) sexual tension and even jokes on the subject does not make it a gay positive show. That’s the way it is. So if you want to criticize Elementary (well, maybe wait till you se it), then go for it! Absolutely. But not on this subject. We can revisit the issue if Season 3 has Watson Sherlock getting together - which would be strange since Sherlock is pretty much asexual, but I would welcome it all the same.

Just because Sherlock may be asexual does NOT mean he and John can’t get together. Us aces can love too! Not all relationships are based on sex!

I mean, it’s highly unlikely they would get together, as John insists he’s straight, but the fact that  Sherlock may be ace doesn’t really come into the equation.

Anyways, enough nitpicking on wording and shiz. Sherlock is awesome, but not gay-positive. Gay-visible maybe, because they mention it, joke about it and there are people in that show who ARE on the LGBT spectrum, but not progressive or positive.
