I just realized that Irene Adler is going to be introduced any time soon now in the podcast, and I don't think i've been more nervous for a podcast ever before in my life. I really hope they take a more original approach on the story of a "Scandal In Bohemia" and for once in the 21st century of Sherlock Holmes history, they don't take a "romantic" approach at it. It is becoming insanely unoriginal at this point, and overall, bland. It is so bland, BBC Sherlock being worse than bland, legit the worst version of Irene Adler to ever forsake my eyes and ears.
I don't think writers when making a new adaptation of Sherlock Holmes ever understand the point of "The Woman," and what her character is meant to represent. She is NOT a damsel in distress, she was NOT in love with Holmes, neither was Holmes, and she is NOT stupid, literally FAR from it. She in the books was the first woman to outsmart Holmes, and what did Holmes have to say about it? He was happy and intrigued.
I understand that adaptations of SH are not trying to be true to the books, but diminishing an originally strong and smart female character to something as bland as a love interest and a damsel in distress when during the time of publishing the book, that was all women were worth in most stories written by men, is just outright wrong. The SH books are FAR from perfect but the impactful aspects of it, like Irene Adler, imo, should stay true to its original purpose.
I have high hopes this will not happen, but after back to back to back shitly written Irenes in the past 20 years of SH adaptations, im still dying inside.
Anyways, let me give some appreciation to Granada Irene Adler.
Mother was mothering so hard all of Scotland Yard got fed that day.
Miss Adler studied in the school of Serveington, majoring in cuntology, broke the score of most slayholarly with an 100 in cuntmistry.
When she sailed away on that boat to live her life with her new man, the boat shook so hard because her servecession was too much, but she still managed to bring everyone to slayty with her life mother boat. And when she arrived she pussified the land, with her own 2 heels.
Gayle Hunnicutt? More like Gayle HunniCUNT.

Prompt 271
“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone.
“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion.
Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files.
“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued.
“Is he coming to the Manor or…”
Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”
Now wait one moment-
“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

imagine amanda watching how mothers on vulcan share a telepathic bond with their children and not being able to do this for spock
imagine how it would break her heart, how she might worry they'll never connect when she sees a mother touching her daughter's face or holding her son's hand with purpose, without words
imagine spock melding with her as soon as he's able, showing her he loves her because he can't say it, he'll never be able to say it
imagine her being so proud of her little boy for researching and teaching himself to meld with a non-telepath just for her, all for her
holding him after when he's so exhausted he goes boneless in her arms and she strokes his hair and thanks him
and he mumbles something about it being illogical to thank him before falling asleep and she holds his little hand and feels the tiniest sparks of love still there, so small she might've imagined them before he's snoring softly

Distant family
Danny didn't quite know how to feel when his mother asked him if he wanted to go visit his aunt for a few days. He assumed it was his Aunt Alicia but apparently not, which didn't leave him with much of a choice as to who it might be. He wondered if it was safe to leave Amity for so long.
Later, his mother rectified herself by saying she was more of a distant aunt of sorts, which didn't help the halfa's confusion in the least but he ended up agreeing to it. Mainly because Jazz asked him to take a vacation.
That's how he found out his aunt was Wonder Woman, because sure, why not, Aunt Diana seemed to be just as curious about his existence but didn't tie him up in her shiny golden bow so Danny considered it a win.
Apparently his grandmother was an Amazon that left Themyscira after falling in love. His mom had met Diana when she was separated from her homeland as a sort of united group of exiled Amazons.
Danny wondered what that meant for Jazz's future, at least he had a story to tell Pandora, she would be proud of his origins...probably.

A (slightly belated) Happy Mother’s Day to a pair of the best mamas 💐
Their names are Alba (left) and Carmen (right) De La Cruz <3
I have the concept for doing a post (idk when, but I’ve had it planned out) of some of the Redacted parents, particularly the more known ones, and I guess you could say this is kinda a semi-introduction to that~
