“that’s all it was. just texting. but i wanted more. and you know something? i still do”
PER MY LAST POST
Also if you don’t know Tumblr is not allowing posts with links in the search bars now. There’s a work around in the last post I reblogged, it affects everyone, but mainly content creators.
For me personally, I won’t be going back and fixing old posts as this seems like a temporary fix for spam b*ts and the like. Hopefully it goes back to normal, if it doesn’t I’ll reassess at that time.
I agree it’s stupid but changing how creators post because if it will only make tumblr probably maybe not change it back eventually
As of today, November 17, 2018, any post with links, any links, even to other tumblr posts, just don’t show up anymore in tumblr’s search engine.
I just found out about it, after I posted a fic with a link to my masterlist and it got little to no notes (it shuldn’t). I was right – the moment I deleted the links, my post magically appeared in the search again. Wow.
Please spread the word to warn the others.
This affects artists who want to cross promote their work, writers who want to link to previous chapters or to a masterlist, and editors who want to link to their YouTube channels, among just a few. This new policy will kill content creators’ ability to spread their work, and for what? A poor attempt to use the algorithm to crack down on porn bots and scammers? Sad.
In the meantime, here’s what I suggest: post your work with no added links, and tell people to check the notes for your masterlist, story navigation, links to ko-fi, patreon, and other social media sites. Make sure you have all those things ready, then paste it into a reblog and have people access them that way. It’s stupid, but it’s a work around we’ll have to use until tumblr gets their act together.
Reblogging this here because I put links in pretty much all my posts so I’m going to basically disappear from Tumblr searches, more so than I already have (as a NSFW blog I’m already mostly invisible). I’ve been using a redirect for my patreon link that doesn’t even work on mobile, as many of you have contacted me about, but since it doesn’t matter anymore I’m just going to go back to using the direct link. All of my comics have links to other pages so this will also be unsearchable through the main tumblr platform.
Reblogging is pretty much the only way new folks are going to be able to find works with links in them anymore so consider reblogging works you like more frequently so that people will see them. At least until this terrible website dies lol.
About ¼ of the way through TAB –– after the threat of the bride has already been introduced and John and Sherlock have been shown going through several cases –– Sherlock is deducing a case during his dream when he calls upon Watson’s assistance, only for Lestrade to say that Watson moved out months ago as Sherlock tries to brush the momen toff, signifying that he’s always thinking about and talking to John, even when he isn’t there (like John once asked in ASIB, “Do you just carry on talking when I’m away?” Sherlock replied, “I don’t know. How often are you away?”).
About ¼ of the way through TST –– after the threat of Moriarty’s post-humous revenge has already been introduced and John and Sherlock have gone through a montage of cases –– Sherlock is deducing one when he calls upon John’s assistance, only to see that John spitefully placed a balloon with a smiley face in place of his own position in the duo, signifying what John presents as his own feelings of inadequacy and resentment towards Sherlock.
Both Sherlock and John have had moments and feelings like this before: weighing how much they truly care about and matter to each other, parsing it off as largely in context of their professional relationship. But with the end of series 3, and John having already moved out as normal life seems to resume after Sherlock’s return, and the seeming salvation of John and Mary’s marriage, both John and Sherlock are telling a version of events imagining what that moment would be like when they finally realize that they can’t recapture what they had before, too much time has passed, too many feelings have bee hurt, and that both of them lost their chance to tell each other the truth, instead resigned to perpetually yearning for their early days as they subsume their feelings for each other.
As much as I love the main gang, there are a lot of interesting minor characters in Sherlock that I think make their own impact. Minor Character Monday is going to highlight some of my favorite minor characters, whether they had 20 lines or none.
First up, Helen from A Study in Pink. Her role was short, but memorable. Just two scenes in which she went from gushing romantic to heartbroken lover, but it still sticks with me. So does a bit of hair envy… (x)
I love this character too. I love how quickly and effectively the show reveals that she’s the lover, not the wife. Even though we don’t know these characters and we’ll never see them again, the conflicted emotions of the moment are palpable.
. The floorplan of Sherlock Holmes apartment in 221B Baker Street based on the “SHERLOCK” series by the BBC. . This is a hand drawed original (not a print), made in scale, coloured with colour pencils and with full details of furniture, fabric, timbers and complements… The design is made according with the “real” apartment respecting the spaces, proportions, furniture and objets presents in the studio set. .

hey anon! it’s not the same shot there’s one thing that has been clear to me since the episode aired: this hand holding the gun is absolutely not eurus’ but john’s.
our eye is trained from the introduction of tld to realize that this gun is going to hurt john, we see him laying down like he was already dead… moreso, the hand is john’s, i could recognize martin’s hand anywhere tbh and the credits also want us to understand that this gun, this hand, these two belong to john:
just like the superposition of the gun on john’s face and 221b is important, we know that john is in danger, from his own gun.
now what does the gun shot means? and also when do we see it in tld?
we see it three times:
– at the beginning, with a long shot panning to john laying down/unable to sleep. we know that subtextually it means that john is suicidal again, we get way too many echos to asip and his desire to just end it. it’s here for a reason. john wants to die because he’s alone and can’t be saved by anyone, unless that ‘anyone’ is sherlock
– second time during the scene of sherlock and faith talking at sunrise and the shot happens while sherlock says this:
SHERLOCK: “Taking your own life.” Interesting expression. Taking it from who? Oh, once it’s over, it’s not you who’ll miss it. (Resting
one hand on the railing, he looks westwards along the river towards the
London Aquarium. In a brief cut-away, a pistol fires towards the
camera, then there’s a brief shot of the exterior of the Aquarium as the
gunshot echoes and then smoke rises from the end of the pistol.
Sherlock now has both hands on the railing as he continues to gaze along
the river.) SHERLOCK: Your own death is something that happens to everybody else. (Faith has looked in the direction he’s looking but now turns to face him again. He lowers his head, his back to her.) SHERLOCK: Your life is not your own.(His voice becomes strained.)Keep your hands off it.
the gun is again linked to suicide idealization, suicide attempt and what would be the repercussion of killing yourself to the people you love. now we know that john has been deeply traumatized by sherlock’s fall. we see him being depressed, feeling suicidal and yet not wanting to end it this way. not 100%. he has one last hope: only sherlock could save him from dying, his life is not his own but sherlock’s… if sherlock wants him back.
– finally, the last shot, with eurus pointing it at john. we know eurus is an obvious john’s mirror but we also get the shot colored in red, à la james bond. sometimes in the narrative happened and john is on the verge of dying.
3 out of 3: the gun means john is dying and more probably by his own volition.
now whatever happening in s5, the reverse of asip would be quite interesting. one of the most iconic scenes of the show is after all john saving sherlock by shooting the cabbie, and we know the cabbie is a john’s mirror. sherlock saving john from a self-inflicted garridebs (of any kind) would close the circle.
‘save my life before my room i am lost without your love save my soul seek my room’ fcking hell
