It appears to me a lot of people's impression of Sherlock Holmes' drug use out of context is "he's running around solving murders while coked out of his mind" which is really funny BUT!

As someone who reads acd canon & has the autistic urge to correct people about my interests, I'd like to let it be known that he actually primarily uses drugs between cases, because he gets painfully bored with nothing to do, stating "my mind rebels at stagnation." This is because he has adhd but the diagnosis hadn't been invented yet. Anyway

This can still be funny because it means the rest of the time he's acting like that while completely sober. He's just quirky. He IS a cokehead but it actually calms him down. Because he needs adderall

You may hear "Sherlock Holmes does cocaine" and think "oh, that explains why he's so fucking weird" but you would have it backwards. He does cocaine because he's already just Like That. He does this specifically when he's understimulated. They didn't have adhd meds in victorian london he's taking whatever stimulants are available. And That's why he's coked out of his mind. But Not while currently working on a case, because that keeps him busy

*note: I have adhd I know how it is

This is exactly why I enjoyed the modern version of the Sherlock TV show "Elementary", which presented Sherlock as a recovering drug addict and Watson as his recovery support/coach/babysitter. Sherlock explains his addiction as, he needed the drugs to cope with the modern world, with the noise, the people, the demands and expectations. He said if he was born in a quieter time, maybe he wouldn't have been an addict.

I like the extrapolation; that bringing Sherlock into our modern world means pushing his coping mechanisms (including a sex addiction, which I know a lot of people thought was too OOC) much further. OG Sherlock was in control of his drug use. But our world is too much.

I made a handy diagram

So HEY surprise, it’s December! Is anyone interested in running SNS Xmas this year….? Send me a message and let me know!

(It would involve collating participants and their prompts, then figuring out the matches and sending people their prompts, then reblogging everyone’s gifts.)

I looooove your work, I recently commented on Something New on ff because i got soooo entralled and I just love it so, so much!!! I hope one day you feel like continuing!! I cried and laughed and skfiehdnfir i just appreciated it so much! ♡♡♡ sometimes ill reread Leaning Towards the Sun when im sad haha ♡ so just… thank you!!!!

Enough people have contacted me about poor Something New that my motivation to continue is increasing lol. As a perfectionist it will always bother me until it's "completed" ahahaha....

is it rude to read pornographic fanfiction at the dinner table?

only if you don’t leave a comment

*peaks around corner* ahhh....hi guys *blushhh*. I’m still alive, yay!!! And still on tumblr every day getting my SNS fix, though yeah, I haven't posted in a while (and I was on holidays during SNS Week away from wi-fi, so sad)! I haven't had much to contribute. I’m touched y’ll remember me, *happy tears*.

Sns week!

Hello everyone! Guess what, we are going to have another week full of sns all over our dashes xD Our fandom is dealing with tough situations at the moment and that is why I thought we need to bring back all the positivities and actually try to celebrate Sns as a family with all the passion and love that we have for the story that they shared with us! This sns week takes place from March 20th until March 26th and just like past two years, each day are going to have different themes.

As always there are only three rules for participating:

1. Being respectful and trying to spread positivities rather than negativities!

2.Tag all the posts with “Sns-week” as well!

3. NO repost is allowed unless you own the materials or have permission.

You see how easy the rules were? Well, the themes are even easier XD Look:

*You can do any of the themes as groups or on your own but make sure to post everything on the right days :3 

*You can post all kinds of headcanons every day because those are the themes of EVERY DAY! 

*From day four onward it’s okay to post selfies, it’s not just for one day. 

*I’m also going to make games everyday so we can all play them as a fandom and every night a group of us can watch sns related episodes of Naruto together in Robb.it. 

Also let me give some explanations about the names of the days. The names don’t neccesary means you have to make your posts only based on the names on those days, you posts can be about anything but those can also be about the name of the day, hence the names are also themes of the days. 

It means along with other materials that you post, you can Also make posts about the name of the days and talk about them seperately. For example in day two which is “sasuke” day you can make posts about Sasuke as an individual and your thoughts of him and headcanons of him and then relate him to sns and talk about the influences he had in the bond. The posts that you make about the came of the days don’t even need to necessarily be the other themes that the day has because the names and other themes are two complete seperate themes in this event ^^

LAST BUT NOT LEAST (seriously, pay attention to this part, you won’t regret it xp) anyone who reblogs this post and signal boosts this event a lot will get “Sns surprise faily asks” in their inbox during the week and also five of the people who participate a lot in the week will get PRIZE! XD

If you have any further questions , feel free to ask. You have more idea for the week? Tell me and I’ll add them to the themes. You need ideas for what you are doing? Just buzz me and we’ll figure some ideas out for ya ;) Lets just have fun and celebrate, our fandom needs and deserves it. LETS FILL ALL THE TAGS AS MUCH AS WE CAN IN THAT WEEK AND SHOW THE REAL POWER OF OUR LOVE FOR THIS PAIRING :3 Good luck and long live sns!

Update: There is a small change of plan, someone pointed it out and I realized I should change it. The fifth day is called “Team 7 and taka”  while the sixth day is called”Family and home”. It’ was important to the bond so I needed to make a day about it!

WAHHHH I'm so EXCITED!!!

Reviewing M/M Fiction~!

Hi y’ll- I’ve started a review blog for m/m fiction! I’ve been reading a lot of books lately, trying to get to know the genre I hope to publish in one day ^_^.

Anyway, I think a lot of my tumblr friends will like some of these books too! So check out my reviews if you’re interested <3 <3 <3. You can find me on Goodreads and Twitter also~. 

(I’ve found a lot of amazing authors these past few months! I highly recommend books by Ann Sommerville, Ginn Hale, and Kaje Harper! It’s so exciting to see that there’s so much m/m fiction out there, and it’s so diverse!) 

(p.s. reading published novels over fanfiction has meant spending more money, but I’ve learned some tips! Smashwords, Amazon, and publisher websites often have sales, and everyone should check out libraries in their own countries to see what e-books they have!) 

p.p.s. let me know if you have any recommendations, or you’d like some from me!

so bad bad :D hahahahahahhahahahahah :D

SASUKE ON ICE EVERYBODY!!!
