Holy crap, I just happened to wander by and spotted that I suddenly seem to have 6,700 followers!! That’s unbelievable! June will mark 10 years since I rejoined the world of fanwork and fandom in general, and August will be 10 years since I got myself my humble little tumblr account. In that time, I’ve had or witnessed fights, dramas, mass unfollowings, death threats and invitations to off myself (yes, really!), but all that fades in light of all of the incredibly good things that have come with being a part of a fanworld again. My first fandom was Harry Potter, and JK Rowling ruined it for me, first with that horrific epilogue, secondly by constantly adding “facts” that she hadn’t actually written into her own canon, and thirdly, by outing herself as a massive transphobe and bigot, and it really soured me on things, so I wandered away. Then I discovered the massive acting skills of Benedict Cumberbatch, which brought me to the world of Sherlock, and here I still am a decade later. 
I just celebrated my very first fic in this fandom having reached 20,000 hits, and just yesterday someone just left me a comment on the second one, adding that they couldn’t believe I was still answering comments on it. I could have just as easily said (and I think I did!) that I can’t believe that people are still reading my stuff ten years on. And I’m still writing! I’m slower (read: busier!) than I used to be, rocking a full-time job and two part-time ones, which has really eaten into my writing time, but I promise, I’m still here and grateful to be! This world and the fine, fine people in it have literally changed my life and saved me more times than Sherlock and John have saved each other. I’m grateful. 
I have friends who would nag me to mention it, so here you go (you know who you are!!): I have a patreon, if you feel inclined. Please don’t feel that you ever have to, or that you need to keep on if you start. But that’s there if it’s a thing you like to do. My account is set up for monthly donations, and if you’d ever just rather send a one-off sort of thing, my email for PayPal is [email protected] (old school, lol!). Meanwhile, thank you for being here, thank you for your friendship, and thank you for reading my stuff. :)

Hellooooooo
I'm coming back from the dead here, because after quite a few time without doing arts, I decided to return on my old loved hobby!
I openned an instagram account, but sometimes, I'm feeling quite mad about the insta art format. It drives me crazy. So I decided to come back here, and I'm quite happy to see that almost all the people I followed a few years ago in the Johnlock fandom are now in the Good Omens and Our Flags Mean Death one!
I hope my little silly arts will bring you joy!
And for the first post, here is a selection of my Good Omens Inktober I did last year!
Enjoy!

i had a question and i hope that it doesn’t sound rude. do you feel ashamed being in the fandom and being a shipper at 32? i ask because i am 27, and have been in the fandom since 2012, off and on. i haven’t rly been in it actively for the last two years or so, but when i want to come back, i feel embarrassed. i also don’t think i could handle the stress of it tbh! lol. i hope you are well <3
I was going to answer this yesterday but then remembered I had a 7 hour drive today and didn’t want to stay up later than I already was. Because I’m an adult, with (now one) previous multiple jobs, a pet, rent, vehicle, three post high school diplomas, and student loans, and there are many things in my life I get ashamed of, like when I answer “you too” when a cashier tells me thanks for shopping or when I let a whole bag of celery go bad in my fridge without ever cleaning or eating it. Shame? At my tax dollars funding death weapons and family members voting for strong men? Sure. Latent homophobic internalized shame from my upbringing? Yeah, sometimes.
But life is too fucking short to be embarrassed or hold shame about a FANDOM. Listen, I “ship” Johnlock, or Merthur, but Larry wasn’t a ship for me it was a discovery of queer joy. Like I’m so sorry but baby Larry was real. 100%, actually, seriously legit, like how else do you fucking explain any or all of that. We watched two boys fall in love with each other and okay we don’t know the devil or the details but we have how many albums and interviews, jokes made by media personalities etc, plus the fact that now, this many years later, their solo stuff is still haunted by a nauseating back and forth, these odd lyrical choices that are echoed in the other?
Yeah it’s not a ship. It’s a thing that happened, that we witnessed, and by virtue of it happening and us witnessing it something about gay love became dreamable, reachable, attainable, soft and puppy and exciting and wild. Their secret sign language and mimed blow jobs and jealous looks and touches when they thought there were no cameras, all those things made queerness not just something you saw on Glee. Not just something your parents talked about while wrinkling their nose up about ‘those people.’ It’s a generational thing, the world has moved on, we don’t NEED Larry anymore. And that’s okay. But we don’t need it because it happened. Not to be a brat but you exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
And yeah, we wrote fics about highly characterized and publicized versions of Larry, often inserting our own traumas or fantasies, creating a kind of gay mythos around this witnessed event from the periphery, from the lens of the consumer, the only lens we have. But I’m not ashamed of that. You think stories are only ever written about people that don’t exist? At some point you have to acknowledge that in our world, celebrities are the deities of our popular imagination. I could write a thesis, but before I get into the weeds, suffice to say Harry and Louis have created a world of what can be, unburdened by what has been.
Yk? Anyways. Hope this made you feel better. And hope you come back to visit from time to time. I’ll be here.

Fluffbruary: Day 15
Drowsy Sherlock is John’s favourite kind of Sherlock. John just loves the pillow talk with him. It’s never declarations of undying love or sharing their deep, dark fears. Rather, it’s Sherlock sharing nuggets of his vast knowledge about the most varied topics.
For example, he tells John that a shrimp’s heart is in its head. Or that humans have tongue prints.
And John counters by telling him how British military tanks are equipped to make tea.
Once, Sherlock mumbled that the correct term for a hashtag is actually “octothorpe.”
John finds all of it amusing and weird, and endlessly endearing.

Sherlock and CO
So you know I'm obsessed with BBC Sherlock? It doesn't stop there. I was reading fanfiction one day night when I came across the fandom tag 'Sherlock and Co'. I was intrigued and opened Podcasts to listen to it. I loved it instantly. It took me approximately a week to finish the 45 episodes available, and then I waited for the next ones. And every week I wait for the new ones.
Some memorable parts of the podcast for me (among many) are the parts that made me audibly gasp, causing my family to tell me to shut up and get off my phone. For example, when a shoutout was given to 'Professor James Moriarty' in Shoscome Old Place. I screamed and my sister thought I was dying. I love the modern adaption and how Sherlock and John are portrayed, and Mariana being the Mrs Hudson equivelent. I love the scene where Sherlock and John meet, and Sherlock has stabbed himself (for science, John!) to measure how excercise can relieve pain. I love it when they do weird things to get into places and to slove crimes, such as climbing trees or licking bedsheets or smuggling cats into performance venues. I love it when John's microphone breaks and they all turn into chipmunks, and when they do things together in Baker Street (and yes, I still hold out hope for a Johnlock canon adaption). This podcast, like BBC Sherlock, has also changed my life. it has made boring tasks like tidying and chores more exciting without being distracting (I used to watch shows while tidying). I listen on the way to school, and I leave early on Tuesdays to listen to the new episodes as soon as I can. And although my stupidly weird laugh gets me weird looks on the bus when something funny happens, it is always fun to walk down the street and see someone I know, and they ask me what I'm listening to, and I can grin and tell them that someone has just been stabbed or killed or similar. I like to watch the look of horror and fear cross their face.
I feel like Moriarty now, so on the subject, I cannot wait for him to properly appear on the podcast. I am the sort of person who loves Reichenbach angst so I await the podcast adaption eagerly.
Thank you, Sherlock and CO. You distracted me from watching the 13 episodes of BBC Sherlock on repeat, and gave me joy.
-Sophie

Hello hello fandom friend! I love love love your blog. Thank you for all that you do for the this part of the internet. I have a slightly subjective question: I know that there are SO many creative, wonderful, smartly written pieces. But in your opinion, what are the top 10 (or less, OR more :-)) most gorgeously written stories? Anything where the writing made you think JESUS CHRIST and absolutely blew you away. I know this will be a personal call. Feel free to use your own measures. (Most re-read, most haunted by, ones with lines you still remember 10 years on?) Thank you so much in advance!
Hey Nonny!

Definitely on the side of the Angels ...

Tumblr media
Sherlock/John | 22k words | explicit rating | 5 chapters | complete
one | two | three | four | five
John now knows that Irene and Sherlock have been corresponding through burner phones and WhatsApp for years. What he doesn't know is that the 'Oo you're shiny and smart!' hormones wore off long ago, and now they're simply gay besties chatting about life, fashion, and, of course, John. But John doesn't know that, so when Irene appears in their life again just as they get called into a very personal case, he feels the sand start to shift beneath his feet and has no idea why. 
Luckily, Sherlock will always do what it takes to ensure John gets to solid ground, no matter the cost.
(Also featuring: Harry Watson, Rosie being two, depressing statistics, Johnlock resolving the sexual tension several times over, and queer joy god dammit.)
Let me know if you'd like a tag removed! Or if you think there's one I should add! This part of Tumblr culture / Sherlock fandom really confuses me! @totallysilvergirl @keirgreeneyes @calaisreno @a-victorian-girl @phoenix27884 @safedistancefrombeingsmart @sabsi221b @gregorovitchworld @helloliriels @peanitbear @raina-at @topsyturvy-turtely @inevitably-johnlocked @lisbeth-kk @bluebellofbakerstreet @kettykika78 @jobooksncoffee

So, I've been doing the Great Sheith Reblog for a while now, gradually reblogging almost everything I shared before that was tagged as Sheith. Lots of art, gifsets, fics and recs, old merch posts, and meta to go around with the occasional dash of salt because lord, dumbness about shipping brings out the salt sometimes. But most of the time it's a lovely nostalgia hit and a reminder of why I still love this ship with all my fandom heart. It's bittersweet sometimes, seeing the usernames that left with Tumblr's worst decision ever, the fellow fans who have moved on to other things, and yes, the hopes and dreams we had before Season 8.
Long blathering under the cut: musings about the persistence of anti-shippers and what queerbaiting actually means.
But occasionally what both amuses and frustrates me is how things line up because it's 2024 and we still have klantis/antis over on the former Twitter spreading the same lies about Shiro and Keith - about their ages, about how they met, about what their relationship is. Right now over there, arguing is happening again because someone put up a clout-chasing poll about which mlm ship was the most influential and included KL but not Sheith (KL beat Johnlock and then lost to Hualian, so I'm happy twice over). Side note - I think if we take "influence" as a completely neutral term, then yeah, KL has been a huge negative influence on fandoms as it was one of the places that allowed puriteen attitudes and anti behavior to grow unchecked for so long. That helped turn some ship fandoms into cults, in which you had to believe with utter certainty that your ship would be canon or you weren't a "true" fan of the ship. That put more emphasis on opposing a rival ship through wank and harassment instead of focusing on the joy and fun of creating for the ship you supposedly love.
And that poll prodded someone to create a Google Form for soliciting answers as to what the biggest examples of queerbaiting are in media. And of course people are saying KL and Adam/Shiro, among other things that are not at all queerbait. These are examples of people guessing wrong and getting mad about it. Queerbait requires that the producers/writers/etc. say outright that a ship is going to happen and then it doesn't, without any influences from the powers above them making changes. Not received fan "wisdom". Not marketing doing things without consulting the producers.
And I just reblogged someone's ask in which they said they felt queerbaited by Sheith solely because of the "brother" line in "The Black Paladins". The answer is excellent and worth a ready if you haven't seen it on my blog already.
Breaking it down:
KL is not queerbait. KL was never planned as a potential ship and LM/JDS said so multiple times. They said it never occurred to them as a possibility and by the time KL's popularity took off they were too far along in the writing to try and go back and make changes, because animators need time to draw. LM flat-out said she was surprised that it became a thing. If the producers are telling you over and over in no uncertain terms that a ship had never been on the table and couldn't be added to the table now, that's not a case of queerbait. And they spoke of Lance's love interests as female every single time. JDS/LM never said anything that would lead fans into thinking KL was a possibility without the deliberate and willful misinterpreting of their words.
Adam/Shiro is not queerbait. Adam is a minor character in a series with a large cast. He has two functions: to be evidence of Shiro's status as a queer man and to be a "face" for all the pilots that died in the first wave of Sendak's invasion. Some people try to claim that LM and JDS queerbaited with their answers at SDCC 2018, but they're wrong. The only thing LM said was that we would see more of Adam in S7. And we did. She did not promise we'd see more of him with Shiro. That was people inserting what they wanted to hear, just like them trying to elevate Adam's status to a fiancé when again, LM clearly stated that they were serious and considering getting engaged. Not engaged. Not married. Just a couple that was serious about each other but broke up.
I don't consider Sheith to be true queerbait. It might fall under the cryptoqueer situation explained at the end of the post linked above, but JDS and LM were mostly very careful to talk of Sheith in terms of deep friendship and devotion to one another, after the initial wave of support for fan content during S1, prior to the klanti movement taking off. The only thing that skirts the line for me is a quote, I think from JDS, saying that if Shiro had a new love interest it would be someone he has known a long time. Or maybe that was about the romances in general being developed over seasons and not Shiro-specific - I would need to research. (Yet more proof that the endcard "wedding" was not planned since we didn't see the unnamed groom until S7 and they never interacted.) And that was said before studio execs started meddling and caused the trainwreck of S8.
I do think we were supposed to have an open ending for Sheith. Klantis like to point out a storyboard artist claiming that "no one wins" this ship war as evidence that KL was supposed to happen and got changed, but that statement applies if Sheith is left open-ended and Allurance happens, even without the endcards.
When I have a chance, I'll try and dig up the links for the various quotes I mention above. Thank you for reading if you made it this far!

i ended up on the tot wiki page for aaron recently and some details there really brought me so much joy and sparked some thoughts on my end
1 ) huh....did luke and aaron become friends because they were both DETECTIVE FANBOYS?????
"[...] With a passion for detective novels, Aaron uses his alternative identity, Sphynx, in order to challenge and defeat misfit detectives who walk on the wrong side of the law." -from the Big Data Lab Entry on the wiki
i find this funny cuz i already knew this, what with how heavily the Sphynx thing is featured in luke's personal stories, but it only now clicked in my head that, occupations aside, this is a common interest they both have. theyre both detective fiction NERDS.
we know luke is into sherlock of course, and he might also be into agatha cristie because of the book hes got on his bed with "AGATHA CHRISTIE" loudly emblazoned over it---
Tumblr media
--but it makes me curious as to what specific detective novels and fiction aaron is into. does he also like the sherlock novels? does he have a favorite? did he and luke meet at the NSB because they got into an argument over which sherlock adaptation was best? in the year 2022, luke pearce was 17 years old and already in the midst of his Disappearance/NSB Recruit Boogaloo, and also the mystery movie Glass Onion came out, did luke take a break from the training to watch it together with aaron?
"he's a friend from the NSB" luke says about aaron to mc in the beginning, completely glossing over many details like how aaron's saved his life in the past and how aaron has a vigilante alternate identity and, Most Importantly, how aaron is a fandom buddy.
[at some point in the past]
aaron: youve totally written johnlock fic, havent you, kid?
luke: shut up
aaron: can i read it?
luke: what! no! it's---special to me, youre not allowed to--
aaron: i can beta your writing for you. fix up any pesky grammatical errors
luke: ..................i'll consider it
-
2 ) his featured quote on the page
Tumblr media
i have no comments here aside form the crying actually, im just extremely emotional about aaron and luke all the time but especially Now because of this, because aaron is so wonderfully unwaveringly stubbornly a believer even the faintest glimmer of hope and how one needs to hold onto that, and that kind of mindset is what luke needed when he was at his lowest and aaAAAA
Tumblr media
...MOVING ON
-
3 ) aaron the PECAN MAN
"Originally, Aaron is from a hometown outside Stellis that grows pecans, and he sometimes leaves boxes of them as gifts for his fellow doctors." -from the General write up on the wiki.
i cant believe i missed this detail, but it's true, it happens in luke's blossom chapter personal 02-01 (thank u @scientistsinistral for letting me know where!!)
Tumblr media
i wonder how i missed it because it is JUST the kind of perfect tiny mundane character detail that i LOVE. aaron the pecan man from pecan town who leaves pecans from pecan town as gifts for others. im immensely endeared by this and think it wld be very funny if this became a running joke between him and luke
i now hc that whenever luke's birthday rolls around, aaron's gift to him is pecans. when luke gets injured on a mission and wakes up in the hospital, the "get well soon!" gift left on his bedside table is pecans. when aaron learns that luke finally confessed to mc and that theyre dating, his congratulations gift to luke is pecans. when luke and mc get married, guess what his wedding gift is to them? pecans.
also
[at some point in the past]
aaron: hey, so what did you end up naming your new pet bird?
luke: pe---
aaron: :D
luke: ----eanut. peanut.
aaron: :|
luke: what?
aaron: you really set on that, already? there are better nuts out there
luke: ...
-
in conclusion: i love aaron.

You put BBC Sherlock on my dash? You put BBC Sherlock on my dash like it's the 2010s? Jail!! Jail for you for 1000 years!
No, wait, actually I kinda like remembering that part of my childhood... very stormy and depressing, but the joy of a propper hyperfixation was new to me then... It's like looking back at your own photo 10 years later and going "oh... I was SO obviously nd and queer, how did nobody see?"
Enough abt myself tho, what's your fav episode?
Haha! Hey! Your childhood was my early 30s, but BBC Sherlock was my first real fandom experience. I read my very first fanfic ever about Johnlock. I am more in love with the fandom and Series 1 and 2 than anything else. I don't acknowledge 3, 4 or the Christmas special like, ever. I have enjoyed reading a bit of Parentlock, but mostly, I like to keep it S1 or S2
Fave episode? I think that might have to be a toss up between A Study In Pink and A Scandal In Belgravia. You?

Fluffbruary: Day 25
Looking back, it's funny, the way Sherlock manipulated the truth to get John to move in with him.
"Sometimes I don't talk for days on end." A blatant lie. He's always eager to share with John everything he knows and learns.
"I play the violin when I'm thinking." A half-truth. He does, but he didn't mention how he "plays" it (makes it screech) half the time.
Finally, the omissions. He didn't mention his experiments, or the indoors shootings.
Even if Sherlock had been completely truthful from the beginning, it wouldn't have changed anything. John loves his life with the madman.
