Thanks So Much For Such A Detailed Reply And Don't Worry, It's Completely Normal To Forget Stuff From

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*

Then maybe the one mister Holmes should brush up on his cryptography.

What am I even talking about, this was a mere lucky guess.

Since upon closer inspection, it depicted some inner sense, especially the singular M and the Mw't, the only combination of letters for that would be 'it's' which makes sense for M = I since I is the only capitalized standalone word in English, I thought it would be a homoalphabetic chiffre (a chiffre where one letter always translates to an encrypted counterpart) and after a lot of trial and error... no it wasn't. The thing above still was true, but it was actually a polyalphabetic chiffre, one where one letter, for example A, can translate to different encrypted letters.

How I found this out? After being very somewhat frustrated at not finding an answer, I just input the message into a Vigenère decryption program and, just on a whim, chose Sherlock as a password. This produced this output which left me... surprised, to say the least.

Then Maybe The One Mister Holmes Should Brush Up On His Cryptography.

Then, of course, I knew I was on the right track so I put in Redbeard as a password, which gave me the following message:

Sherlock, is mummy hosting christmas this year? Am I invited?

It's been such a long time. I have gifts for everyone.

Only four days to go, time is ticking.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah you might wanna do something about this. Good thing I was in dire need of a riddle since this message seems quite... urgent. Good luck figuring this one out, but that's more your area of expertise, Mister Holmes.

I have some 8th grade school notes, should Mister Holmes be interested in expanding his very limited knowledge of cryptography.

Sincerely, the local cryptography nerd,

LL

Another code? The structure suggests it's not random gibberish. But without the cipher, even I can't make sense of it.

ace flag colourpicked from a Harry Potter book

JK Rowling made a disgusting (and badly researched) post about asexuals yesterday. So here's the ace flag colourpicked from the front cover of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Fuck you Rowling.

how do the character thing

So I've been writing stories, playing TTRPG and doing basically anything which would require one to come up with a character. Problem is,

I genuinely do not know how

Of course, you can build a character's background, their job, their zodiac sign, but what I'm really missing is how to find out how these characters would actually behave, their mannerisms, the way they talk, all of that which makes a human unique and more than just a stat block on a piece of paper.

(It's why I'm writing fanfiction a lot, I know the characters and can sort of guess how they'd behave but it is beyond me how I should do that from scracth so to Tumblr I go pls send help, sincerely, a writer desperately wanting to write original stories 👍)
