#RIP mary

[murd3rouscrow]

Hey folks! I got some juicy angst for you all today, as always, spoilers for sign of four part 10, under the cut

I got a mostly headcannon-y aftermath of Mary's death for you all.

- After Mary's death, John went to stay with his mum for a bit. Not a long time, just a week or two. He just needed to be away from the city, away from cases.

- Sherlock and Mariana stayed. They took on a lot of smaller cases. Like Mariana said, they'd go broke if they didn't.

- Mariana spent a lot of nights at 221B, she slept in John's room, just so Sherlock wouldn't have to be alone. Sherlock thinks it's cause she doesn't want to be alone. He's not entirely wrong.

- They'd call John every night. They didn't talk much, mostly have him on facetime while they ate dinner. John would eventually start crying again and, Sherlock and Mariana tried to help him as much as they could.

- All three of them blame themselves. Obviously John blames himself for getting Mary wrapped up in all this. Mariana blames herself for letting Mary come with her to the Spanish ship. Sherlock blames himself for not being able to stop Mary from getting hit.

- John comes back to 221B. Mariana doesn't stop staying the night, usually on the couch now. They still eat dinner together. Sherlock goes on small cases, alone mostly.

- John thinks a lot. He thinks about what if he stormed in with the girls. He thinks about what if him and Mary ran away together. He thinks about what if Mary showed up for that first date, and he never met Sherlock.

- Sherlock doesn't think at all. He's gone entirely on autopilot. He doesn't speak to John often. He barely speaks at all. He's not sure what he can say.

- Mariana edited some of the last episode. John did most of the complicated stuff but he couldn't listen to some of it without crying.

- John wants to blame Sherlock. He knows he shouldn't, and it's not rationally his fault. But he's only human.

- The three spent a lot of time just sitting together in silence. It was comforting in a way. At least, to John it was.

- John finally comes to Sherlock's room to talk. There's a lot of tears (mostly from John) and a lot of hugging (also from John, but some from Sherlock).

- The three take a week off cases. They don't go anywhere special. The movies, the park, cafes and restaurants. 'Friend dates', John calls them. All the dates he would've taken Mary on. Instead, he takes the other people in his life he loves as much as he loved her.

The Bentley is a lie

(This is a spoiler zone for Good Omens season 2) Hey guys! I found something strange (and most likely the stupidest meta of all)

I read these amazing posts about the Bentley Ineffable discontinuity and the Bentley's roadtrip transformation and this one by @embracing-the-ineffable and @thesherrinfordfacility

and they got me thinking…

Why the Bentley is a lie:

So while re-watching episode 2, I noticed something strange…

Something immediately caught my eye in the first scene. The blue box in which the "2" (2500 BC) is written. In terms of color grading, I find it very striking.

A second blue box appears with the "L" of "Land of Uz".

The next 2 are in the book of Job that Aziraphale and Crowley are looking at. "T" and an "S" can be found.

In the back of my mind there was still the hint that this episode was called "The Clue". And of course there would have to be hidden clues in this episode. Something story or meta relevant.

So I just googled "2LTS". (Because I am a research professional)

And to my surprise a model of a car appeared, that looked very similar to the Bentley: the Ballot 2LTS.

Maybe there is a Bentley at the start of the season (episodes 1 and 2) but they later switched it to another car? The Ballot 2 LTS.

I don't know anything about cars. So I read a bit about them. To my surprise, a Bentley isn't just a Bentley. It's the chassis that is from the manufacturer Bentley and the body is made by a coachbuilder company. (In this post @scrapheapchallenge explains which body the old Bentley in season 1 had and what happend to it in season 2.)

So my theory is that they changed the Bentley chassis to a Ballot. And put on a 4 door body.

This could explain the changing seat colors and hubcaps.

And why they talk about a Bentley in the first two episodes and later just use the word car.

And why a Queen song is only played once in the Bentley. (Episode 1)

The Bentley was there at the beginning but then it was replaced?

In what way is this relevant for the story? I don't know.

Why are the clues hidden within the Job storyline? I don't know.

Maybe it has to do with multiple timelines (by @noneorother) where the Bentley is and isn't? I don't know.

Maybe the the french word "Ballot" has a deeper meaning? I don't know.

Does any of this make sense? Probably not, but I had fun writing it.

The only thing I know is that the Bentley ought to be the old Bentley, but it seems to be another car.

There are more of those blue squares (did you see the metatron's TIE?!), so I will look further into them, but for so long:

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I'll let myself out.

Imagine that Captain Marvel, Billy Batson and Living Lightning are three personalities in one body. Living Lightning is a little over 200,000 years old, Billy is twelve, but Captain Marvel is three years old, because Billy got his powers at nine.

Of course, Marvel will be asked how old he is.

The captain will immediately say that he is three years old.

Only no one will believe him and everyone will think that he is mocking them. Marvel will wonder for a long time why everyone is looking at him with resentment.

Then a curse is placed on Captain Marvel, and Marvel, Billy and Living Lightning are separated.

The League's shock is beyond words when they see a three year old running around a twelve year old boy, who was supporting an old man so decrepit that no one knew how he was still alive.

Captain Marvel, Billy and the Living Lightning, or Thavma.

That's how they introduced themselves.

And you know what's funny? Thávma always wants to go somewhere. Because when else would you get a chance to wander around outside of the Champion's body? The old rascal once withdrew a thousand dollars from Batman's account and went to Vegas, where he multiplied it a thousandfold. Billy suspects Solomon's help, but keeps quiet, amused by how Batman loses his shit when he finds out what Thavma did during his trip to the city. And he always manages to slip out from under every hero's nose without being noticed. So everyone just lets Thavma do what he wants.

Three-year-old Marvel never left Diana's side all day, following her around like a duckling. The Amazon loved to pick him up and kiss his cheeks. Marvel laughed loudly and kept asking for more kisses. Every hero cooed at him and gave him hugs. Superman reminded Batman that he couldn't take the child for himself, no matter how much he wanted to. Barry was constantly feeding the child sweets when no one was looking.

All the heroes, from the youngest to the oldest, have stuck to Billy. Batman wanted to steal him away, but Oliver stopped him. Billy gets offers every day that he can move in with someone else. Batman and his children are very persistent. Billy cleverly avoids these offers, like bullets. He is not a little boy, he can take care of himself. He does not need pity. But he does not refuse the food that is given to him.

When the curse is lifted and the three are united again, Captain Marvel is caught by Barry and Hal, who asked to see Billy. The Captain transforms and Billy is taken to Barry's house until Batman can intercept them.

And from that day on, the "Great Custody Battle" began, where there was no pity or compassion.
