i had a writing teacher show us how he uses chatgpt to get feedback on his writing…… like pls sir…… the robot isn’t reading your stuff it’s simply generating the most plausible sentences a critique would sound like…… i repeat the robot is not reading nor relating to your writing in any way no matter how much your ego gets stroked by autogenerated praise and tips this is the author’s equivalent of reading a horoscope

Happy Tumblrversary!!!!! We loves you!!! 💕😘

🎈🎉💐5 Year Tumblrversary💐🎉🎈

I started blogging on this beloved hellsite in July 2020 and have done so every single day since then.

I'm stuck here, I love it, I love everyone who's stuck here with me and I will never leave even if I could.

Irrefutable

Summary: He took the steps two at a time and threw open the door with an imperious, “For the love of God, it had better be a seven.” But then his bluster deflated and he whizzed to a halt.

John stood on the stoop with Rosie on his hip. Two suitcases were crowded behind them, threatening to tumble backward onto the kerb and vomit their overstuffed contents. It had been five months since Sherrinford, and a quiet drive home, and John returning to his daughter in the home he’d bought for his dead wife.

“Hello.” John fidgeted, rebalancing Rosie’s weight. “It’s been a minute, yeah? Thought we’d…” He shook his head, paused, frowned. “Are those new goggles?”

“No.” Sherlock watched Rosie chew her finger. Unable to rein in his traitorous hope, he asked, “Why are you here?”

John and Rosie move back into 221b, and life takes on a new normal: one where John smells like Sherlock’s mate, Rosie smells like his daughter, and Sherlock tries his damndest to ignore the evidence. But how long can the world’s only consulting detective avoid coming to the obvious conclusion?

This is my first Sherlock/John fan fic. I'm so enamored of this pairing. There are a remarkable number of wonderful stories out there. I've enjoyed so many of them. I hope I've done the pairing justice.

I am wildly out of season on this one, but I didn't feel like sitting on it for another several months. I made this recording last year and wasn't able to look at it seriously until now! (Sort of forgot about it. :P) This is a collection of limericks written by friend Spectral Chicken and published in the fall issue of The Watsonian. It weighs in at only 6 minutes, so it's not a long commitment to listen. I think there are some pretty clever ones in it! Find it on Ao3 here!

I can’t believe I inked all of this.

That is the kind of punch you give to a friend who’s been fingering your dad for the past three years.

YEAH AND TAKE UR STUPID FUCKIN TOOTH TOO

“I had remained indoors all day, for the weather had taken a sudden turn to rain, with high autumnal winds, and the Jezail bullet which I had brought back in one of my limbs as a relic of my Afghan campaign, throbbed with dull persistence. With my body in one easy chair and my legs upon another, I had surrounded myself with a cloud of newspapers, until at last, saturated with the news of the day, I tossed them all aside and lay listless, watching the huge crest and monogram upon the envelope upon the table, and wondering lazily who my friend’s noble correspondent could be.”

John Watson having a one-sided beef with Irene Adler is so funny to me. Love to include that in my fics any time I get.

Sounds wonderful 🥹

It took me years, but I finally made my way south to London to do the Sherlock Escape Room in Shepherd's Bush, and can I just say, every minute was a joy!

The strangest, most surreal part for me, though, was standing inside the recreated 221B. I have spent countless hours in the 221B of my imagination as I write my fics that the flat has become oh so very real to me. So standing in that space, it felt like revisiting a place I'd already been, a place I knew all too well, a place I've spent almost as much time in as my own home. They've done a marvellous job with the details, from the Union Jack pillow on John's chair to Billy the Skull on the mantel to the clutter on the tables and dressing on the papered walls. I wish I could have stayed a little longer and just revelled in being there. But there was a game to play. Happy to say, we successfully escaped. ;)

If you've not done so already and you're in London for a spell--and if you like to solve puzzles and crack codes and pretend that Sherlock and John are still out there doing the same--do take the time. For me, it was a dream.

🌎Welcome to my world!🌎

My raison d'etre at the moment is entertaining y'all with limericks, mostly about Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson - the original Dynamic Duo.

I found out that the polymath super-genius Issac Asimov wrote 60 limericks (in his copious spare time)- one for each of the 60 stories.

Asimov's ghost mugged me on May 1st, 2024, and I've been doing limericks since then (even though I hadn't written any since 6th grade).

WARNING! Limericks are contageous! I'm Patient Zero in the 'Ricking Crew (@helloliriels @ghostofnuggetspast @chriscalledmesweetie @peanitbear @meetinginsamarra & @totallysilvergirl)

Don't laugh - you might be next 😉

Enjoy!

Hi John, the red pants are just a fun myth created by your readers right? I followed every case of yours and they were not mentioned anywhere. I wonder why your readers were fascinated by the colour of your pants.

Is this your subtle way of saying red isn’t my colour?
