Yuu: can you make this alive? *shows him a nutcracker*

Malleus: Child of man.... that is a very strange thing to ask.

Malleus: although, yes I probably can. But I must ask, why?

Yuu: no perticular reason

Yuu:

Nutcracker:

Yuu:

Yuu: god dammit, Horntorn's magic didn't work

Yuu: *sigh* I wish there was a christmas miracle to help me

Yuu: *pokes the nutcracker* I wish you could come alive and dance with me to make me forget how much I miss my home and family...

Nutcracker:

Malleus: *in another room* hmm, should I have told them that the nutcracker only comes alive at night? Oh well, Child of man will probably find out on their own unique way

I was going to send this as an ask again, but it's too funny not to have as a general WoLQotD.

With adventure plates in the game, would your oc(s) approve of the adventure plate you have selected for them? If not, what kind of adventure plate might they make for themselves?

This is also a chance for me to see all your fun adventure plates; I'm not going to lie. Give them to me.

Polaroid Photos (my JO Fanfic Universe)

Hi, hello, all my fics can be read individually, but if you want to read in chronological order, here is a master post

(I had another fanfic which I recently deleted that was it's own thing apart from this, but I'll probably re-write some parts to incorporate here)

I would say some of these are "not canon" in my "fic universe" (omg what in the PP cinematic Universe) and those will be marked with a *

T*LC Refutation (but decidedly NOT johnlock refutation)

[Note: I love and ship johnlock because I saw it for myself in the show when I watched it and was part of the general audience in the past. I even want it to become canon in some Holmes adaption in the future. But T*lc needs to get sucked into obscurity and forgotten. Other fandoms like Good Omens, etc., are following the same rhetoric in their "meta" posts, and that needs to go. This is crucial for our basic critical thinking skills and objectivity.]

Read Part - 3 : Everything wrong with "subtexts" and "symbolisms" here.

Part-4: The Harmful Aspect of T*LC:

Let's move on to some more serious issues, or why we (Kim and I) don't believe for even a second that hardcore t*lcers (the ones who're rabid about this theory) ever cared for any type of representation, or even johnlock in itself for that matter.

I say hardcore t*lcers because the normal ones simply believe in t*lc and keep that shit to themselves. I'm even mutuals with them on Tumblr (although I know that when the show was on air, hardcore, insufferable, and deeply problematic t*lcers were in the majority).

1.) The very definition of t*lc : The general idea of t*lc is that johnlock has been planned since 2010 (right from the first episode of S1), this whole show is essentially a love story between Sherlock and John, the cases are not so important, and that johnlock is going to be the endgame canon ship. When the writers deny anything related to johnlock in their own show, they're lying to keep their elaborate plan under the wraps. When Sherlock and John kiss on screen, it'll be a rug pull moment for all the non-believers, their love story will be groundbreaking queer representation in mainstream media, and BBC Sherlock will become a culturally iconic Holmes adaptation. Because sometimes, the queer characters can be the heroes of the story.

All this sounded so nice and fancy to me when I was new to shipping johnlock. Because BBC Sherlock was my first fandom that I ever participated in. Johnlock was (and is) my first ship. I used to be a non-shipper before this, because I'm not exactly a Romance-genre fan in published fiction.

Now I don't like the general idea of this at all. Not because I don't want johnlock to become canon in some version (I really do), but there are so many flaws in the very idea of t*lc.

a.) They didn't even plan what they were going to do with Rosie Watson in S4. They just introduced the pregnancy subplot to raise the stakes in HLV. Only for shock value purposes. This was Mark Gatiss' statement (now I can't find the link but I've seen an article about this before). To think they'd planned an entire romance storyline, but it was just under the wraps the whole time, is unrealistic.

b.) While it's true that showrunners or directors do lie to their fans before a work is published to maintain an element of surprise, Moffat and Gatiss had denied anything related to johnlock too many times, and almost vehemently for most viewers to believe that they're just lying. One can only lie too many times, after all. And something needs to be there in the actual show for (maximum) fans to catch on that they're indeed just lying. There wasn't enough evidence for that. Too many of those scenes just came off as gay jokes instead of anything of real substance. That wasn't a good look.

c.) The third part is really what gets me the most here, and one of the main reasons why Kim and I began to actively despise t*lc, even though we're both still pro-johnlock. These people really thought the ultimate rug pull moment for the entire audience should be... that John and Sherlock are in love? Really? That's it? That's highest standard you have for supposedly groundbreaking queer representation? That doesn't sound right. Queer representation really shouldn't be used for shock value. As if we're not marginalised and isolated from most people already. Especially in my country. That just sounds as though you want to place these two characters in a museum as though they're some exotic beings or something. That's the opposite of a healthy queer rep.

d.) Even if johnlock were canon, it would've hardly been groundbreaking for the purposes of queer representation. Even in the 2010s. Because shows like Breaking Bad (a show from 2008, i.e., before BBC Sherlock, in which a very significant character is canonically gay and black), Elementary (where Mrs Hudson is canonically trans, Joan Watson is a well written character even as a poc female lead, Jamie Moriarty is also properly characterised when mainstream media doesn't have a lot of well-written female villains to begin with), London Spy (which is also a BBC show from 2015), Money Heist (which also features a significant canonically gay character), etc., still existed. I'll even list The Irregulars as an example, even though the first season of that show was aired in 2021, because that was still before the Sherlock Holmes franchise entered the public domain. Watson is canonically gay and black in that one.

e.) This is a detective show you're talking about. Cases aren't important? You kidding me?

2.) Rabid t*lcers were hypocritical as hell. They used to demand canon johnlock for "representation", but they were all sorts of bigoted people themselves.

a.) They made racist comments about Lucy Liu.

(From Sarah Z's video) :

They've called slurs to fans of colour in the fandom (I can think of one fan specifically right now) for not shipping johnlock.

b.) Characterising Sherlock as a twink, gay baby, or "smol" is fetishistic. It's just homophobia indirectly.

c.) They went rabid about the bisexual Sherlock headcanon, Instead of simply disagreeing with it for whatever reason. You're not doing the queer community any favours by h/cing John as bisexual just for your johnlock shipping, only because he has canonically shown attraction to women.

See this:

Stop playing the victim card right after perpetuating biphobia lol. You need to rewatch the show if you think mere fascination was all he felt for Irene. Also, even if he genuinely didn't show any attraction to any woman in canon, fanon can still be its own thing. Not everything has to be strictly canon compliant.

One more:

Stop straw manning and assuming real people's sexuality. Stop ship bashing. Enough with the biphobia.

This person is a johnlocker and "The One" obviously means johnlock here. No, not everyone is uncomfortable because of johnlock for bigoted reasons. People are allowed to have preferences.

Another one (probably my favourite) :

Talk about hypocrisy. The title of this post sounds so positive to bisexuality, but then OP goes right ahead to frantically claim Sherlock is 100% gay and not anything else!!! 1!!

Sherlock is heavily queercoded in the show, I agree. I don't even care whether that was the authorial intent or not at this point. That's what a non-insignificant amount of people took away from this show.

But his canon sexuality was never specified. People are allowed to interpret his sexuality however they want. You are nobody to state your own headcanons as facts.

More hypocrisy.

d.) The acephobia was rampant in this fandom mostly because of these people. It's a well-documented fact.

e.) The misogyny in this fandom was ugly. The kind of outlandish metas they write trying to disprove adl*ck from the show... jeez. If adl*ck definitely doesn't exist in this show, why would you need to disprove it so many times through your meta posts?

Can't erase something that really isn't there, just saying.

"Irene is just a personification of Sherlock's libido for John." Seriously? Do you even listen to yourself?

Don't get me wrong. I blame Mofftiss equally as much for not writing women properly in general, Irene Adler in particular. They butchered canon Irene Adler (a queen) way too much in their show. But the fans' response to her was almost worst.

It's understandable if the show's version of Mary doesn't sit right with you for whatever reason. People are allowed to have preferences. Personally, I'm quite neutral about Mary Morstan in this show.

But these people used to take their hate for her too far. These people have never been as mad at Moriarty, or even at Culverton Smith, as they all were at Mary for shooting Sherlock. Again, this is a crime drama show. Not all characters are going to be sunshine and roses.

3.) Rabid t*lcers hardly ever tried to explore johnlock in other versions. If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, you'll be at least curious about different adaptations that exist out there. Why did they hardly ever posted about The Irregulars when it was aired? An adaptation in which Watson is canonically in love with Holmes? I've been around in the johnlock fandom enough to know that the rabid t*lcers (NOT ALL T*LCers) never really cared about the possibility of johnlock in some other version after it ultimately didn't become canon in BBC Sherlock. They only care for johnlock as long as Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are associated with it.

... Yup.

(ACD canon Watson was in his early thirties in the first novel. That's not middle aged. Joanlock didn't even become canon - something that was specified since Day 1 - in Elementary lmfao. Also, Lucy Liu was in her forties when Elementary aired. Get your facts straight.)

All these three points are enough to conclude that what t*lcers usually posted about was obviously not "demand for representation", but rather a demand for some extremely specific fantasies acted out on screen with an even more specific choice of actors.

I even joked to Kim about this: The stuff they demand for is so extremely specific that it sounds like a Starbucks order lol.

Part: 5 - Conclusion:

I want johnlock to become canon in some version of Sherlock Holmes adaptation. But I want t*lc as a theory to be completely forgotten and obscured. T*lc is definitely not the way to go about it. Other fandoms (namely Good Omens) have started to write "metas" with the exact same rhetoric in them, and now it's completely unacceptable. It's 2024 now. Let it go.

Some interesting links Kim and I found that are very insightful and relevant to this post:

About cults and the followers

Cult psychology

Conspiracy theory psychology

Science vs pseudo-science

Science vs psudo-science - 2

Conspiracy theory psychology - 2

Signs someone is a pseudo-intellectual

One explanation why even otherwise sensible people seem to believe in t*lc

PS: Not every dark haired character/ blond character is a Sherlock/John mirror respectively. That's not how character-mirroring works. Experts would know this.

[prowerprojects]

So remember when Superstars mentioned all of the main 4 will have an extra personal move via one of the Chaos Emeralds? I'm glad Tails' looks exactly how I expected when they described it in an promo article. (Not as cartoonish as AOSTH did that one episode, but I welcome Tails being able to do more stuff with his tails beyond flying or whacking people.)

It took me a second to realize what he was actually doing, but it's pretty cool! I hope something like this would be added to his modern skillset, or elsewhere (since it's the only attack that's original. Knuckles and Sonic get versions of modern attacks, and Amy's was in origins in super form)

(However while air-based attacks totally make sense for Tails, I do hope they're not planning on neglecting Sonic in this department)

Hi there!

I was wondering if you could help me to find some of your writing, please?

I'm sure you've written a couple of one shots where Reader is married to Nightmare, and lives in a cottage buried away from the rest of the multiverse. Then one day Reader finda Dream gravely injured, and nurse him back to health, only for Nightmare to burst in, enraged that his brother has found the wife he tried so desperately to hide.

If you know ehre these posts are, would you be able to link me to them, please?

Hello anon!

As flattered as I am that you think I’ve written those lovely stories, I must say that they’re the wonderful creations of @llamagoddessofficial. I merely just pitched the ideas and general vibe of the oneshots, but she’s the mastermind behind stringing them all together and making beautiful works of art with them.

However! I will gladly share the links with you so that you can go and read them yourself.

The first part of the story with Nightmare in the cottage.

The second part of the story where Dream makes an appearance.

I you want to know about other stories I’ve commissioned Llama to write, then I suggest looking for these chapters within the A collection of Fables and Romances story on her ao3.

Chapter 21: Beauty & the Beast (Nightmare Sans)

Chapter 23: Beauty & the Beast, Part 2 (Nightmare Sans)

Chapter 25: Taking your own bait (Nightmare Sans)

Chapter 27: A dreamscape - (Dream!Sans) - someone else commissioned her a second part of this oneshot. You can find that in chapter 30.

Chapter 31: First contact (HT!Sans)

Chapter 32: First contact, Part 2 (HT!Sans)

Chapter 34: Somewhere Else - (Dream!Sans)

I also commissioned this story with Dust sans, and this (which is the first commission I had with her) with Horror sans.

I believe that should cover it. Again, this is only the stories I’ve personally commissioned Llama, but she has many, many more for you to read and enjoy, so I highly recommend checking her out if you like her writing. It’s a lovely treat to go through her blog and ao3 library, trust me on that.

Hi! I like the discussion with your prev anon and I agree with you that liking louis and his music doesn't necessarily 'hate' 1D.

I found Louis through Harry - Larry - 1D (specifically in that order) and their performance of Night Changes on Norton Graham show was when I was caught on with Louis. And that one part of his in Night Changes really change my life haha.

That was around the time FITF made it to UK no.1 and I never look back since then. I still like to listen to 1D songs (and almost other boybands song tbh, i'm a sucker for boybands). But not their solo acts, maybe their musics are not really to my liking. They clearly have their own style and I like Louis' the most.

But yes, as for Louis, since he now has 2 full albums, I don't mind if he dropped 1D for his own songs.

Hello there secondary anon!

That is quite a pipeline - How long did that take to go through?

Louis really does have a distinctive voice, unique taste and produces music that really connects to people. Walls was my baby for so long, I almost couldn't imagine what came next - but FITF is an excellent and eclectic example of where Louis wants to go on his musical journey.

I think he'll keep the One Direction songs for this tour, the set list seems pretty structured. Next tour with three albums (fingers crossed) he'll have more than enough to drop those covers. But.. as with all things, I do wonder how much of the fanbase Louis/Louis' team perceives and if there is some sort of pressure or demand for songs over a decade old, he might continue to sing them. We'll see.
