I just answered someone and my internet cut out as I clicked ‘publish’; the message has disappeared completely. I do hope you see this; my apologies. I’ll tag you if you let me know you have. :)
The question related to someone who found themselves flying/floating through their palace rather than walking. They felt they were going too fast through the hallways and feared this was...

pantropia:
why cant I live in the UK where there is good television and the birthplace of so many attractive people
I’m fairly sure I read somewhere that there are more brits living abroad than there are foreigners living in the UK. So, y’know, it can’t be all that.
Shh they think we’re attractive.

I don’t usually do this and I apologise in advance. This won’t be normal programing, promise.
I just got the most wonderful ask, and I replied privately by mistake like the why-are-you-up-at-twenty-to-four-in-the-morning-doing-mind-palace-stuff-for-tumblr moron I am.
And I’m so tired I can’t even remember the lovely person’s name.
I want to put you on my...

kezpc asked: Hey, I'm another student of yours. Thanks to you I've made an amazing start on my own 'mind palace'. Though mine is just a classroom and a closet full of books at this point. Just wanted to say that you wrote an excellent guide, thank you very much!

Mind Place: Question Masterpost
That GIF on my blog can only mean one thing…
Here’s the masterpost for the Q&A for my Mind Palace post; this’ll be updated each time I answer a new question.
For your ease, I’ve broken things down into sections.
Please let me know if any of these links are broken/incorrect.
Creating a Palace
I have several options and can’t pick which to use; what should I...

Don’t nobody want a fandom brother?
Otherwise perfect.

If you watch ASiP on Netflix, these are the subtitles you get for this particular scene. Now, Lestrade actually does say the full name, but the slip-up is kind of an adorable thing to think about (even if it’s rather a silly nickname). So, fic happened. Warnings for dad!Lestrade and the inexcusable fluff that goes along with that.

I don’t ship these two but I...

My mother finished a long and unpleasant rant about how she doesn’t believe/approve that I am transgender (ftm) with “…and anyway, you’re just like your father!”
I burst out laughing. It was pretty much all I could do.

I’m just going to say this is Benedict Cumberbatch, (which I’m not 100% sure it is. IT HAS TO BE.) and cry myself to sleep, wishing he was in my bunk.

Steven Moffat: Rupert, thanks for agreeing to be in Doctor Who.
Rupert Graves: Sure! The five kids are asking; can you tell me anything about my character?
Steven Moffat: Well, there's no story as such yet.
Rupert Graves: Oh.
Steven Moffat: But if it's set in the near future, your character's going to mention his Dad's name is Greg.
Rupert Graves: ...Right.
Steven Moffat: If it's set in the near past, your character's going to mention that he's calling his son Greg.
Rupert Graves: ...I see.
Steven Moffat: No wait that's too kind.
Steven Moffat: I'll set it in present day London and not give you a name or make your job obvious.
Steven Moffat: And you'll die right at the end so they'll spend months wondering if Lestrade's dead too.
Rupert Graves: Mate, I think you've got a problem.

There is no way a genius like Sherlock would treat a gun like that. I mean, he’s literally scratching his head with it. He may walk on the wild side, but he’s not an idiot.

colourblynd asked: I'm having trouble deciding on a first mind palace. Having a great visual memory, I can recall almost every house that I've lived in to minute detail... and all of my best friends houses as well. I can access them perfectly, but when it comes to placing a memory, my brain can't decide which house to visit. Any advice? I have been really intrigued by your blog. :D

crisischris asked: Could you give me an example for the mind palace? Like bdays?i started in my room, there was a calender and it had MAY scrawled on the top because most people i know are born in may, and then they days were listed, may 1, may 2, etc. the first bday was May 14, and i had 13th crossed out because of bad luck, and i knew the next was the 14th, Four starts with an F and the girl is Fatima. I went on...

forthelionhearted asked: I've seen you talk about how your mind palace is Hogwarts and how you have subjects organized by room. But doesn't that mean your Divination room for EVERYTHING Philosophy would have to be huge? Can you explain how that works? I imagine there's a lot of information, you know?

vodka-barbie asked: Regarding a mind palace: Do you have any tips for a first timer doing it for an exam? I've read your detailed post about it, but I'm not sure how to fit an entire subject into one room? Also, I'm not sure how one image/object can trigger pages of text from a book? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks xx

we-blaze-away asked: Do you have any ideas about using a mind palace for learning a language? Like is there a more efficient way to store things than simply having an object per word you're trying to learn?
