This pride month would be a great month to announce Sherlock Season 5

Anti anxiety.

As someone with crippling anxiety, this shit WORKS.

When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

…dude.

Checking in with the orchestra AU progress!

Hey all, I haven’t forgotten! The fic is being written. I didn’t expect it to be so long, but it’s currently around 14 chapters at 42k-ish words, and still only about half way until the finale. (Sigh) Please stay tuned for Sherlock and John’s harmonious life!! Hope you’re all still interested in reading some musicians!johnlock. Thanks again @wendyqualls for an awesome idea! @posh-boy-clever-boy @justshadethings @wantoseasomore @shamelessmash @221bloodnun

OH MY GOD I AM LOOKING SO FORWARD TO THIS!!!!!!! <3

sherlock looking longingly at john’s chair on the morning of the wedding at the beginning of the episode is informed enormously by the fact that we later find out that they almost hooked up in that exact spot

Oh my GOD WHAT

dear lord this episode has been out for almost three years HOW ON EARTH ARE WE STILL FINDING MORE PAIN IN IT

Haunted by memories of what could have been… (T_T)

YES, because we can also see Sherlock even shifts his eyes to look at HIS own chair too! So he’s definitely thinking about what happened in those two chairs the night before…

End me

This is it…this is the most painful post. BYE @lookingforawaybacktonarnia (I almost forgot to tag you XD)

But… How… Why… NO MORE!!

ohmygod the nostalgia 👌🏻 i always had either the “haunted” mansion or the aquarium 🖤

Recently, I had an argument with friends because I was soooo convinced that the maze was a game. I spent hours sitting in front of it :-D I wonder what my parents thought at that time.

And oh god the middle right - WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS AN OKAY DESIGN??

Uncle Hercule Comes for Tea

“And your parents? They are well, I trust?”

“Yes. Father is once again attempting to grow roses. Mummy is trying to set Mycroft up with the Bulgarian ambassador.”

“The Bulgarian ambassador is married, I think.”

“And a man! Mummy has decided that Mycroft is gay. Says she doesn’t care as long as there are grandchildren somewhere down the line.”

“And you, ma puce? I noticed you have not thrown yourself off any rooftops yet this year.”

“Well it is only March. I may still find the time.”

“Perhaps if you do, you will warn Poirot, hein? You will be kind to his old heart and write your uncle a little note to say you are not dead?”

“Yes. Yes, of course, Uncle Hercule. I- ah. I do apologize.”

“Excellent! Now, your friend, Monsieur Watson. He is still upset with you for intruding upon his proposal?”

“No, he’s well over that. There was this train car parked under Parliament, and- Wait. How did you know that I interrupted his proposal? Have you been talking to Mycroft?”

“Non, Sherlock. There was no need. Poirot is the one who-”

“Yes, yes. Taught us everything we know. Bollocks. One of these days I’m going to figure out how you do that.”

Dude, I love this to pieces ❤

Aww!!! I love it!!!

Sherlock didn’t throw the game away, he was winning

Listen John, we need to play this game.

Well, I’m not convinced.

You’re losing, Sherlock.

Considering where the king stands (the far left of the board) and the rook being in the 8 lines, one can assume that’s there’s been a castling.

Castling is an uncommon move because you actually moves two pieces that mustn’t have moved in the whole game. You bend the rules of chess. It’s legal, but it’s not supposed to be normal.

Castling may be a good way to protect your king, but I’m afraid I don’t see how Sherlock can win with what he’s got left. Especially when I look at the white sides.

One can see the black king, a rook, a bishop and a few pawns. Mycroft has still what looks to be a queen, a bishop, a knight and several pawns.

Sherlock? A few pawns, a tower and a bishop. The knights and the queen have already been taken.

Mycroft seems to play calmly, everything is organized where it seems to be more chaotic for Sherlock. He got his queen out to attack Sherlock’s king. A very good even if predictable approach. Sherlock defends by castling.

Let’s take a look at little chess pieces are still on the board, because we’ve got a turnabout.

Red is Mycroft, Blue is Sherlock.

And I’m guessing, but I can almost taste what was the last move.

Sherlock checked.

Of course, in that case, Mycroft has no choice but to put his king there. Because, while the knight can still check, the pawn will take the knight and take care of the menace.

And if the knight wants to live another day, he must go there.

Whatever the next move is on the red side, the knight will go there.

And, I’m not joking, if the king wants to avoid another check and finally get rid of that bastard. He’ll need to move and be in a position that if the knight tried to take the pawn, he’ll take it.

Next moves.

Although, I admit the rook’s position can change the way you’ll play your knight.

But, believe me. Right now, Mycroft is stuck on the defensive while Sherlock keeps attacking. He’s that close to win.

But where does that knight come from? He had lost his before the second pic!

He got a promotion. Somehow, a tiny little pawn managed to reach the end of the board.

Considering the configuration in the second pic, and how Mycroft was moving the rook out of his original position, here’s a configuration of what may have happened.

Mycroft made a grave mistake, he hadn’t noticed the little unassuming pawn and let him reach the end of the board, even though he could have stopped him.

And, because Sherlock isn’t Mycroft and doesn’t think in term of power, because is and remains a dragon slayer, he picked the knight, the most chaotic piece in the chess board, the most unpredictable and the most annoying.

And since then, Mycroft has done nothing but damage control. He’s made his rook leave his position in the second pic. He had to bring it back in order to not loose it, or even have a better chance to eventually pin the knight.

It doesn’t matter what pieces were at the other side of the board, unless Mycroft could have made a super recue via queen and because he’s stuck on the defensive, nobody can harm Sherlock’s king and he cannot play anything but these pieces to our knowledge.

Sherlock was already winning. Game over. No time to waste on a pointless chase. Mycroft has been had, he’s made a mistake by underestimating the pawn and Sherlock is winning because he’s managed to be unpredictable, he’s reached the end of the board and finally got his promotion to knighthood.

WOW, this is the most detailed examination of the chess promo pictures i’ve yet seen. Thank you!

Are you kidding me???!!! Amazing@@!

“He threatened me with a knighthood, again” Sherlock the knight!!

This is beautiful. What does it mean, though, that Mycroft wants Sherlock to be a knight? If Mycroft is being forced to play against Sherlock, perhaps he’s surreptitiously trying to give Sherlock the tools to win.

It is with a heavy heart that I type to write these words as I remember this fateful day on which Sherlock Holmes duelled professor Moriarty (allegedly) and descended down the Reichenbach Fall in 1891. I can picture this as if I have witnessed it personally. The sight of his Alpine-stock leaning against a rock. Two sets of foot marks leading away to the end of the path, none returning. His silver cigarette case with a note. Followed by years of silence. (No wonder people of the 1890s actually mourned his “death.”)

The canonic significance of this event will never be lost on me… Have a blessed Hiatus, Sherlock, my literary best friend. Everyone thinks you’re a cold, calculating machine, but I know the depth of your loyalty, love, and kindness behind that facade. You have influenced my life in so many great ways… Believe me to be, my dear fellow, very sincerely yours always. xxx

Tarmac Hell BLISS I fixed it :>

YYAAAAASSSS!!!!!

Better

Perfect

Oh wow, I really hope so!! 

What are the other 5 stories? I kind of knew about Garridebs already, but didn’t know that there are other very interesting ones. However, if that is the case that this is intended as a fuck-you to copyright holders: Why don’t they say so?

And I sometimes catch myself to think “I hope I’ll still be alive in 2019/2020, when Sherlock continues”, which is completely crazy, because OF COURSE I wish to be alive in 3 years, but not solely because of a f*cking TV show.

know the difference

It has come to my attention that many people mistake wyverns for dragons, so here’s a post to help you remember

Dragon: 4 legs, 2 wings

Wyvern: 2 legs, 2 wings

Drake: 4 legs, flightless

Wyrms: long snake like body with no appendages, can also appear as a traditional Chinese dragon with 4. Legs and no wings yet can fly

Amphithere: 0 legs 2 wings, can be feathered

Lindwurms: 2 legs, 0 wings, long body

Luck dragon: 4 legs, no wings, can fly, long body, furry with dog like face

Komodo dragon: 4 legs, no wings, real

Bearded dragon: 4 legs, 0 wings, often kept as pets

as a person passionate as fuck about dragons, i stand by this post

please understand

Important!!!!!

As I count myself as one of those who DON’T know the difference - hell, I didn’t even know that Wyverns existed - I sincerely apologize for my lack of knowledge in this area and thank you for clearing it up :-)

Not sure how all of you are doing on this here day, but regardless of how tired and exhausted you might rightfully be waiting for Moftiss to drop the special, know that it will happen eventually. Everything we know very clearly indicates how fake the version of events in s4 was. When you feel doubt, remind yourself of John’s missing letter, the TD-12 drug showing up in T6T, everything about the entirety of TFP. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

I needed this reminder very much.

It’s the only logical explanation for everything that happened in S4. It’s the only logical outcome of the narrative they’ve been building for seven years. Moffat’s words about “younger audience” who solved “where it’s going” (well, they solved it too soon / it was the only mistake of the women’s conspiracy from TAB, do you remember that? they hurried up and broke the glass / the glass in TFP is “elephant glass: shock proof”: be patient, ladies) and “I was told and I didn’t listen” (we WEREN’T TOLD about Sherlock’s secret psychopath sister and Redbeard as a substitute for drowned childhood friend / we heard about “the other one” in the end of HLV, about Redbeard - in TSoT / it’s NOT something that they’ve been telling us throughout 10 episodes!) are constantly in my mind. What else? Mary’s impossible death + glowing skull. That’s all I need to remember that this story is not over yet.

I don’t want fucking german Sherlock its gonna be awful. I bet they have changed “he is more caring in the afterglow” and “the man we both love” and erased every ambigious line like they fucking always do please töte mich

I’m very (not) excited what they did to “Romantic entanglement … would complete you as a human being.”

And “My Baker Street boys”. Especially that one.

Oh god no. “Meine Baker Street Jungs”. “Romantische Verwicklungen würden Sie als Mensch komplettieren.” (Or is it Du by now. It is, since tsot, right?)

“Heute Soldaten” “Soldaten”

“Emotionaler Kontext.”

“BITTE NICHT INS GESICHT!!!!!!!”

“Viel Glück, Jungs”

Help. Please help me.

anyone ask you what hell’s like, just show them this, it’s all condensed in 10 seconds

It’s more terrible each time

I’ve been watching this for the past 5 minutes. Still unable to give it any other reading than: “Fuck, this is real. He married. But I love him.” - “Fuck, this is real. I married. But I love him.”
