My Sherlock quilt is done! 

(AKA: I have the best best friend in the world and I am not worthy)

Like seriously, bury me wrapped in this when I die.

🚨🚨 DO NOT REPOST, ONLY REBLOG 🚨🚨

Top to bottom, left to right:

  • Violin, “the damn hat,” “SHERLOCK,” Billy the Skull, Irene Adler’s lock screen
  • “Bored!” John’s silhouette, the door to 221b (with askew knocker to piss off Mycroft), Sherlock’s silhouette, “Miss me?”
  • Irene Adler’s lip stick print, pink case, bluebell the glowing rabbit (which ACTUALLY GLOWS IN THE DARK OMFG), Jeff Hope’s pill in a bottle, Michigan hardcore propellant spray paint, Moriarty’s IOU apple
  • The British flag, our dynamic duo running all over London 
  • Sherlock falling in John’s silhouette (break my heart omg), Sherlock’s scarf and Belstaff featuring red buttonhole
  • The wallpaper and smiley at 221b, Bainbridge, the crown, John’s hand on Sherlock’s tombstone (I’ll be in the corner sobbing if you need me), and
  • “The Game is On”

And the whole thing is quilted in a honeycomb pattern (if you look closely)

She rewatched the whole series and planned this whole thing in secret to surprise me at Christmas, but it took a little extra time. She does absolutely amazing work, all fandoms – check it out.

Sherlock claims top two of British TV’s best ever female characters in new poll

mrsabbington:

Find out which of the ladies of Baker Street is most popular.

BY JUSTIN HARP

Never mind Holmes and Watson, it’s the ladies of Sherlock who shine in a poll of the most popular female characters in the history of British TV.

The survey was conducted by BBC Worldwide of fans throughout the UK, the rest of Europe, Asia and North America to find out which ladies resonate most with lovers of British television.

And, to little surprise, Amanda Abbington’s super spy Mary Morstan has come first in the poll, turning up in the top three of rankings in all of the territories that were polled by BBC Worldwide. Of course, she also received the most votes overall as well.

Whereas fans in Europe selected Mary for her “British sense of humour and Britishiness”, Chinese and Indian fans tended to admire her confidence and those in the US found her intelligence most appealing.

“Wow! This is brilliant,” Amanda Abbington said today (February 13). “Thank you for rating Mary Morstan your number one!

“That makes me very happy. I love Mary and I loved bringing her to life. She was a complicated, fun, dangerous, beautifully scrappy character to play and though she is no more, Long Live Mary Morstan!”

Even more impressive for Sherlock is that Una Stubbs’ Baker Street landlady Mrs Hudson finished second overall, ahead of Pride and Prejudice’s Elizabeth Bennett, Miss Marple and even Missy from Doctor Who.

Below is the full ranking of the most popular female characters in the history of British TV:

1. Mary Morstan – Sherlock

2. Mrs Hudson – Sherlock

3. Elizabeth Bennett – Pride and Prejudice

4. Miss Marple – Miss Marple

5. Missy – Doctor Who

6. Sybil Fawlty – Fawlty Towers

7. Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham – Downton Abbey

8. Hyacinth Bouquet – Keeping of Appearances

Sherlock had similar success in last year’s BBC Worldwide poll, when Benedict Cumberbatch’s Great Detective topped The Doctor and Luther to be named the world’s favourite British TV character.

The good news is that there’s a solid chance we’ll be seeing more of most of the Sherlockgang, since co-creator Steven Moffat recently promised that the series will return after a lengthy hiatus.

no-one asked but here’s the plan:

gonna get these printed as business cards that i can scatter when someone talks to me about Sherlock, just as i disappear in my cloud of smoke

Yeah they have a long-term strategy, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. They- they plan it out for years. So they’re um, they don’t just come up with the ideas quickly and go, “Oh! We’ll do this.” They knew, I think, really, from series 1 -and 2-, they planned the whole series out.

garkgatiss:

s5 is gonna open with a dimly lit watson flat, blurry closeups on details, bottles and dishes and shit, you realize it’s the old flat, the real flat from hlv. intercut with choppy flashbacks, a row, john and mary fighting. john slowly comes into focus, looks like hell, just waking up with a killer hangover. puts his hand to his head, realizes he’s holding his gun. he’s startled, he’s confused about why he’s hold it, he sets it down away from him. music gets more ominous, he gets up, sits at the kitchen table, rubs his face and sets his chin in his hands. looks fucking bleak. wide shot: he’s staring at a huge pool of blood in the middle of the room. no sign of mary. he rubs his face again and opens his laptop. roll opening credits.
