To celebrate the 2 year anniversary of The Original Johnlock Shirt, I have redesigned the ultimate shirt for fans who ship John Watson and Sherlock Holmes.
UPDATE 11/8/2017: This shirt is now available again for preorders! And for the first time ever, it’s available as a tank top! All sizes available up to 5XL. But preorders end soon on November 15, 2017! These will ship in time for Christmas, so hurry!
I just watched Thor Ragnarok and damn it I want to make Doctor Strange’s and Loki’s costumes so. BAD.
I know I promised that I would update on the first post in two weeks a loooooooonnnnng time ago, but here I am updating it after a month and a half, so sorry about that.

Our beloved BBC Sherlock Manga Series
Interesting to see all the different versions of covers. Besides the first one on the left, I’ve never seen the others.
(Sorry that I forgot to take a picture of the info, but I assume that we all know enough about BBC Sherlock series)
Arthur Conan Doyle’s Letter
If you couldn’t read the words on the paper:
“In this letter to his editor of the Strand Magazine, Conan Doyle expressed the belief that ‘Holmes must preserve his dignity’ if he were to appear in an advertisement. Since that time Holmes has appeared in several hundred advertisements for a wide variety of products. In terms of preserving his dignity in the process, the results have been mixed.”
*cough* mixed in deed *cough*
Here’s ACD’s letter in MANUSCRIPT:
Simply gorgeous and graceful handwriting. ❤
The next update is on the Arthur Conan Doyle special collection, keep an eye out if you are interested. Let me know if you want to be tagged or untagged for updates!
During @inevitably-johnlocked wonderful watchalong today the chat in our hilarious insanity began to notice similarities between Penguins of Madagascara and our favourite episode of Sherlock: The Final Problem.
I found this whole concept hilarious to try and find as many parallels as I could. This is the shit post to end all shit posts for TFP and frankly, I laughed so much while making this that I almost peed. I hope this can help my friends to smile and heal from the train wreck that was The Final Problem.
Let’s start at the beginning… Meet our two Villains. Dave, and Eurus. Masters of Disguise.
Dave and Eurus also share the same trait of being a genius. Wow.
Oh look, similar themes… North Wind, meet East Wind.
Both villains are introduced in the most over the top horror-type dramatic fashion.
There’s an explosion, which our heroes miraculously escape from.
Without even a scratch.
Our heroes steal a boat so they can get to our villain’s evil lair…
A REMOTE ISLAND FORTESSS!
BUT… They need to sneak in, in disguise.
Looks like Penguins won this round… Guess we don’t get to see Mycroft in a mermaid suit.
Where they are confronted by our villain via a TV
Our villains both have magic remote controls for their evil dastardly plans!!
And they both like to make things scary by switching all the lights to RED.
Always use nonlethal force to subdue heroes. Tranquilisers are a must for any budding super villain.
HOW DO YOU LAND THIS THING??
OH SHIT WE ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THE BABY!!!!
What motivates our villains you ask? Why, it’s loneliness of course!
Oh hello sinister water… what are you doing here?
How do we defeat our villain? GIVE THEM A FRIEND, DUH!
Finally, we come to the moral of our stories… I think Penguins also wins this round. While TFP says: “Who you really are, it doesn’t matter.“
Penguins of Madagascar says: “If there’s anything we’ve learned from this delightful adventure… Kowalski… It’s that looks don’t matter. It’s what you do that counts. And look at what you did. […] you are the most meaningful and valued member of this team.”
au where instead of saying “the address is 221b baker street” sherlock says “my grindr username is detectivetwink1983”
“Who’d want me for a hookup?”
Mike chuckled. “You’re the second person to say that to me today.”
To John’s surprise, Mike took him to a chilly morgue, where a lanky man with the face of an angel, eyes not leaving a computer screen, asked to borrow John’s phone. The whole situation was quite strange, especially when the man started making some surprising deductions about John’s past in Afghanistan.
But that was nothing compared to the utter bewilderment that John felt at the man’s next question, completely out of nowhere: “How do you feel about topping?”
John did a double take. “I’m sorry, what?”
The man hardly looked up from his computer. “I enjoy being tied up when I’m thinking. Sometimes I want sex for days on end. Would that bother you?” Now, he glanced at John. “Potential lovers should know the worst about each other.”
John scoffed and looked back at Mike, who was grinning like a madman. “You told him about me?”
Apparently Mike hadn’t, and the lanky angel made some cryptic comments about how he’d worked out not only John’s current dry spell, but also his complete family history and military past.
It was completely and utterly intoxicating. The stranger’s sharp eyes on him gave his skin a tingly feeling, like being caressed with nothing more than a gaze.
So when the stranger said, “We’ll meet tomorrow evening; seven
o’clock,” John was speechless.
And when the man strode towards the door and added, “Sorry, I’ve got to dash. I think I left my
riding crop in the mortuary,” John’s jaw dropped halfway to the floor, countered by another part of him that seemed to rise as if on command.
“Is that it?” John barely managed to say.
The man stopped in his tracks. “Is that what?”
“We’ve only just met and we’re going to meet for a hookup tomorrow?”
“Problem?”
John blinked. “We don’t know a thing about each other. I
don’t know your name. I don’t even know where we’re meeting.”
The stranger grinned, a glint in his eye. “My grindr username is detectivetwink1983.” He winked. “Afternoon.”
It was all John could do to keep himself from sliding to the floor in a puddle of perplexity, wonder, and complete, utter lust.
Plot twist: it’s not sherlock who’s in a coma, it’s you, you were in a car accident right before season 4 was about to air and this has all been a terrible coma dream but don’t worry, tomorrow you wake up, and the first thing you’ll whisper to your crying loved ones is show me the johnlock kiss damnit
Life on Mars" is a BBC series of 2006. It’s already been highlighted, I’m sorry I don’t remember by who, similarities between Sherlock and Ash to Ash. Ash to Ash is a spin on Life on Mars, so I thought I’d take a look at number one. With calm… And surely it’s interesting. This is a dream that is making the protagonist in a coma. His reality often bleeds into the reality he is dreaming of. Mirrors of the protagonist are used. Surely there is much more … but meanwhile ….
Sam tyler is investigating on a serial killer, who has just kidnapped his girlfriend and colleague, when he is hit by a car and he wakes up in 1973.
Here, while helping police investigate a crime identical to what he was investigating in the future, he glimpses a man who talks to him, presents himself as an ipno-therapist, tells him that he is in a coma, that everyone is worried about him, that his phone is never stopping ringing (really odd line), which has to step back and wake up.
And so he climbs on a roof and he thinks about jumping of but is stopped by a colleague, who makes him doubt what is true or not, and that he tells him maybe he is there for a reason.
From time to time he hears the doctor’s voices of the present time.
He works in a very strange office. It’s seems to be in a basement, whit dark walls an a particular cellar, like a chessboard (hello Mycroft office).
the interrogatory room is in a sort of storage closet, full all stranger things (Hello Magnussen’s MP).
He has a nightmare with a blond girl and a clown’s rag doll
In the second episode a girl working in the police department finishes in a coma after a shootout. She’s blond, thin and with delicate features. She has a boyfriend, like he in present time. While she’s in the coma, in her hospital bed, we hear the sound of the monitor but the monitor is always off. She’s a mirror?
in the next episode he heard his mother’s voice, the voice of an elderly woman, who talks to him as if she was in his sickbed, through television.
In the same episode, following his red cat, what he had as a kid, meets the young version of his mom.
There is a scene where his colleagues are talking but he hears the beep of a monitor and voices that talk about medical conditions.
He continue to get in touch with his reality, occasionally independently, but more often through the television or phones that ring and he just seems to hear.
He seems to be conscious of being in a coma, only one of his colleagues knows about his real situation.
