I Want To Read...

I just feel annoyed at this point, I don't even think it's worth watching the other two episodes if it'll keep going like this

I just finished Sherlock S4/1

What the actual fuck was that

Huh????

It's like... Sherlock and Mary, featuring John as a side character who is stupid every now and then but otherwise unimportant

And the finale?????? It felt so... staged and John didn't even help? Just call her an ambulance for fuck's sake

Study not to be perfect but to become the best version of yourself.

Young Viktor (still haven't chosen a last name)

this is the finished piece for my jayvik arcane on ice au and the whole vibe of the piece was inspired by middfoxx off of twitter

technically these pieces of viktor take place before the au happens but I thought it would be fun to draw him being all elegant

Arcane! on ice AU: (First/Viktor's character sheet)

He said he'll try and go for green!

Wowies drama :D

ok but

Why didn't Owen join the green faction?

Purple is pretty cool I guess, but with Pangi having witnessed all that he could've gaslighted girlbossed all around the place

What if we had tea instead?

Incredible work by Keikoquette on twitter as her piece for gallery nucleus

Thanks so much for such a detailed reply and don't worry, it's completely normal to forget stuff from time to time!

And yes, it was absolutely meant with kindness sorry if that wasn't clear!

And well, the queerbating thing, I posted a while ago. I'm a bit further in the series, and especially with not getting a resolution it does seem like queerbating.

What I guess I meant (or what is still true of it now) is that your posts helped me enjoy the series. When I first heard of the queerbating, I was upset because it ruined the whole series for me and your blog helped me enjoy this (albeit a bit broken) series again, even with its flaws

🤍

(I sent a similar ask a while ago but it seems you didn't get it sorry if it's twice) Hey so I only recently found your account and first of all, discovering asexuality from watching Sherlock is the funniest identity finding story I've ever heard (I read it on one of your posts), second of all, I love how structured your blog is (you've written SO much and it's surprisingly structured) ANYWAY that was a long introduction, my actual question is: Do you know why season 4 turned out the way it did?

luminescentlama asked: So I found your blog and I have a couple of things to note 1. Your profile picture is so gay (queer) /pos 2. Finding out about your own asexuality through analyzing Sherlock is the funniest realization story I have ever heard 3. I read your one post on why the show isn't queerbating and I feel better now so thank u :)

Hey Lovely!

Sorry, I've been sick and feeling a bit overwhelmed with literally everything, so I apologize for not replying right away; I often put off some asks so I have at least one new piece of content daily! I found your other ask and did miss it, so I do apologize!!

In response to your comments:

The larger version of my icon without the flags is here. The flag version was just for Pride month and I forgot to change to my Christmas icon this year, but I just left it because I like the pride version better.

RE: my sexuality, I am assuming you mean that with kindness (it CAN be perceived as not-nice teasing on initial read). Assuming it was one of these posts that you're referencing, and it's completely true. In the early days of the fandom, one of the little running jokes was that this show helped so many people realize that they were queer, LOL. For me, seeing a lot of myself in Sherlock, I imprinted on him and for some reason it jumpstarted my journey of self-discovery in my mid-thirties.

Thank you very much for the kind words on my blog. I work meticulously to keep it tidy and I LITERALLY have filed every single post for at least the past 5 years, so it makes it easier to find posts and reference back to them. I also have a meticulous tagging system (most of the time) that probably only makes sense to me, hahah. I love when you guys notice those kind of things, and I'm glad that my posts please you.

As for S4, no. We've got some tinhat theories, but these days I'm a bit more cynical about the tinhat theories and look more to Occam's razor theories: I just feel like Mofftiss "got bored" with the series, were mad people figured out their planned endgame (you know, like a good show / series ENCOURAGES in their fanbase), took their ball and went home and now just keep teasing to keep Sherlock the Brand profitable; ANOTHER theory is that around TAB, there was a shakeup at the BBC of the higher ups; Another was actor interference; and another was copy right issues at the time with the remaining stories. Who knows anymore, tbh.

Which then segues into your queerbaiting comment, I feel without a resolution in S5, then it is. But again, could be just me goalpost-shifting. But I do have a LOT of thoughts on S4 post-series, which are still entertaining reads and can be binged here on my Post S4 Meta Masterpost (August 2018). I have more recent posts as well, but will need more specific questions to direct you to them, LOL.

Anyway, again, sorry for the delay in a reply, but I hope that this response was worth the wait, and that you continue to enjoy your time here *HUGS*

*Pixelates your blorbos except there’s more*

reblog if you have skilled writer friends and you're damn proud of them

Okay I want more thoughts on the music played in the QSMP teaser.

The first song played is Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D, P 37). Doesn't seem to have much of a story to it? But I think the main reason it was used is that it's a popular song played at weddings and, the more importantly, funerals.

The second song is from Mozart's Requiem Mass- Lacrimosa. It was written not long before Mozart died, and it literally translates from Latin as "Weeping" or "Tearful". Requiem Mass is just a big piece about death and grief. It's just another funeral song.

SOOOO what does that mean?? Is this quackity's funeral, the federation's, or the island's?? I have so many thoughts that I don't know how to put into words, but if you have ideas, that would be awesome.

oooooh that definitely fits with the whole creepy vibe that's going on in the video

Weeping, tearful and funeral...

To be honest, not really an idea of what to make of that. The only connection I could draw would be the poem which is spoken, which goes on and on and on about how that 'creature' is eating it's own heart and destroying itself.

The funeral part also stands in direct contrast to the Morse, which says things like 'I'm coming back' and the flashing text which literally says 'not over.' To lean completely out of the window, I would say that... the easily visible surrenders being alone, being scared and also maybe that the Federation is no longer (the Federation buildings are completely empty), but the stuff beneath the surface clearly says that someone is planning a comeback.

That way, the music fits with the whole dying, self-destruction theme which is shown through the stuff you can easily see without decrypting morse and stuf. Maybe someone destroyed themselves and now it's their funeral, but actually they're coming back. But who? The players, the Federation? I don't know, but maybe we'll see in the future
