My wife does, she’s terrified of them. But nah, it’s just that clowns are always scary.

Ben and Martin will always be Sherlock and John to me. That dusty flat will always be their home to me. That much I know. That’s what adds yet another layer of difficulty. Those were practically real people to me and they still are, they still exist.
This is why it’s so hard for me to make a “clean break” with the show; I love the characters – these specific characters – too much.

@cumberfoil: Solved this for you! The answer is: UP
I hate you.
I hate you soooo much
Help?
we’ve been rickroll’d what the fuck
Wait. What???
IS THIS THE NEVER GONN A GIVE YOU UP SONG OR AM I JUST STUPID
they rick roll’d us
“N E V A G O N A G I V E Y O U”
Yup
this is 1) photoshopped 2) translates to “am here. abe slaney” so sincerely fuck off @spontaneityhasitstimeandplace
GOD there are just things i can’t let go off like what they did to john???? he used to be so much more he Is so much more than they gave him credit for in this series. completely ignoring john and sherlock’s relationship, like this isn’t even just the johnlocker talking, but genuinely, the bestest of friendsies and they barely spoke two words to each other during this entire ep??? slaughtering garridebs like that???? that was really fucking low, they shouldn’t have mentioned it in the first place if they were gonna make fun of it like this.
for everyone who says “it’s not queerbaiting!” i just want to let you know that i am not committed to TJLC and i spent a year in college analyzing and tearing apart every single moment of queerbaiting in BBC Sherlock and let me tell you right now that it is absolutely 100% queerbaiting whether u care about john and sherlock together or not
there are inconsistencies in the plot, pointless and endless lead-ons, etc.
if don’t see queerbaiting in sherlock, you are not looking hard enough, really don’t care enough to look, or have privilege regarding your sexuality
and let me reiterate, it’s not about “I wanna see john and sherlock kiss!” which of course is not wrong because that is representation
but it’s about the fact that it is something that has been strung along, played with, hinted at, and made into a joke by these creators to keep the majority of the shows fans – lgbtqia+ women/nb people – interested in the show
it is capitalizing on the desperation and hope of the lgbtqia+ community
also like
knowing that eurus was so dangerous that she had to be locked away in a special impenetrable facility on an island somewhere
why would mycroft literally ever allow her to converse with moriarty whether it was supervised or not
and like knowing what moriarty was capable of and knowing of his diabolical obsession with sherlock
why would mycroft allow moriarty access to his baby sister whether it was supervised or not
perhaps somewhat predictably, i am calling bullshit
yeah mycroft made no sense this episode…….. it was a present for her??? how could he be so stupid? get her an xbox or something
also like. he didn’t HAVE to get her anything….he could have just. not done that…..
RIGHT
or like
if he really felt some brotherly obligation he could literally have sent her a batch of holiday cookies
*Sherlock finds John regaining consciousness on the therapist’s floor after being shot with a tranquilizer gun for absolutely no reason, Eurus nowhere to be found because she just likes to tranquilize people and then run away as a prank*
Sherlock: John, are you alright? What happened?!
John: Well apparently I just met your secret sister and she shot me but I’m okay
*long pause while Sherlock runs complex scenarios in his mind, neurons firing, camera spinning around him as he uses his deduction powers to the fullest*
Sherlock: John. We need to hire a scary clown
Im Fucking screaming
Good morning,
That was, without question, a deliberate self-sabotage bursting at the seams with one red flag after another that it WAS a deliberate self-sabotage (most broadly summarized by “everything in it was not merely a departure from the writers’ character bible but a mirror opposite of it”) and my Current Mood is watchful waiting to find out why it happened, because there absolutely is a larger story here, because it absolutely, completely, 100% was deliberate, and inexplicable cruelty is only one possible explanation. (As a motive, I mean. Cruelty can be and indeed is the outcome, even if it wasn’t the intent.)
This doesn’t mean I’m not upset or pissed off or bewildered. I am all of those things, but I am, at the same time, very much convinced that there is a reason this episode exists, and that reason can not be chalked up to mere incompetence and forgetfulness. The ways in which it is bad are too elaborate and specific and too easily pointed out and fixed at any stage in the production and post-production processes to have occurred through simple carelessness. Its badness has every hallmark of planning. The objectively strange behavior of key people involved in its creation lends further credence to that view. My only question now is why.
[throws this episode over the sherrinford cliff] YEET
