LOL!

Apparently I've taken a faction in Ben's fandom!? Someone blocked me. LOL! Ok: I'm a MartinFreeman fan, Johnloker, maybe there was IRLfreebatch & something doesn't convince me about Sophie H.

1 more of my truth: Only the beautiful people I met online effects my life, everything else is entertainment for me.

And I'm a Ragabash in Werewolf RPG.

Ugly Duckling by Testosterone_Tea

6.9k, Fluff/Smut, NC-17 

Author’s Summary: “ Sherlock has spent his life thinking that he's ugly, and it really wouldn't bother him except for two things: a) he wants John to like him, and b) he finds himself on a case involving underwear modeling. But apparently body positivity comes with a bloody side dish of serial killing, and John in nothing but pants is very distracting. What's an ugly duckling to do? “

My Summary: A beautifully crafted casefic, where Sherlock slowly realizes that he is beautiful. John, of course, helps magnificently. This fic is one of my go-tos, I’ve read it upwards of fifteen times. The slow, sweet and soft exploration of their relationship and firsts is everything.

It's been a while since I've felt this way A feeling inside that now I pray away Gotta live in the moment, isn't that what they say

A moment is gone and so is yesterday How can I be the one you want to see How can I give you everything you need You tell me you feel the way you feel for me Blame it on timing 'cause it's everything And if I let go would you be okay We could just move on, let it fade away Would it make a change if I kissed you for the first time I know you like me I can tell the way that you always remind me everytime our eyes meet I know there's something that you're feeling for me The world keeps on turning, are you turning with me Give me a reason I can't be the one to fit in with your dreams and promise me you'll never give up on this feeling that we're throwing away Maybe we'll find it on another day I've been thinking about you lately Always thinking about you baby I've been thinking about you lately, should I call you to tell you I feel alone without you next to me Been filling a void with all the girls I meet But when nothing compares to you, what's a man gotta do to get through If walking away is all that's left for me All feelings aside, I guess I was right You needed something more Than love can give you, no And if I let go would you be okay We could just move on, let it fade away Would it make a change if I kissed you for the first time I know you like me I can tell the way that you always remind me everytime our eyes meet I know there's something that you're feeling for me The world keeps on turning, are you turning with me Give me a reason I can't be the one to fit in with your dreams and promise me you'll never give up on this feeling that we're throwing away Maybe we'll find it on another day I've been thinking about you lately Always thinking about you baby I've been thinking about you lately, should I call you to tell you I know you like me I can tell the way that you always remind me everytime our eyes meet I know there's something that you're feeling for me The world keeps on turning, are you turning with me Give me a reason I can't be the one to fit in with your dreams and promise me you'll never give up on this feeling that we're throwing away Maybe we'll find it on another day I've been thinking about you lately Always thinking about you baby I've been thinking about you lately, should I call you to tell you...

*sherlock’s voice* THAT’S WHY HE STAYS

[bluishtrashcan]

taking your own life. interesting expression: taking it from whom? once it’s over it’s not you who’ll miss it. your own death is something that happens to everybody else. your life is not your own, keep your hands off it

Sherlock Holmes dragging me to hell and back and calling me out on this shit like how dare you after three years of nothing making me understand this simple concept that not even years of weekly therapy could

IM LITERALLY HYPERVENTILATING RIGHT NOW

[raggedyblue]

@possiblyimbiassed

I have been too tranchante before, it is obvious that a truth must remain, also because having wasted so many thoughts in vain would also displease me deep down.

My idea always remains that there is the possibility that the Moffits have started two trains on parallel tracks. That of reality and that of Sherlock's mind, but that the camera was mostly aimed at that of Sherlok's mind. I say mostly because sometimes we have seen it slip and confuse us. What I meant is that perhaps it is possible there are two truths, a more "real", more prosaic, more tangible, which many of us have longed for, but which has not yet manifested itself, you want it to be a satisfying plot conclusion, you want that it is johnlok (as far as I am concerned I have come to possess a quantity of truth and knowledge in these years that I will always be grateful to the show) a truth that runs on a track that has remained mostly in the dark, while the one that we saw it was a tangent "immaterial" truth (confused) and therefore similar but not totally consistent with the real truth of the other track, and precisely because of its immaterial nature, precisely because of its belonging to the realm of pure and intangible imagination, somehow it is becoming inconsistent and intangible.

But all this running would not be useless for many reasons ranging from personal enrichment (but still here is my experience that speaks), from having discovered a lot about Sherlock Holmes as a potential human being, as a character, as a multiplicity of his interpretations, as a context that has seen him born, grow, multiply. But it also gave us numerous clues as to what was possibly going on on the other track. It made us play. It was, is, a beautiful race. I personally am not at all regret having bought the ticket, even at the cost of not finding it in my hands anymore.

Series 4 - Sherlock’s adaptation of John’s blog?

A.K.A. John’s blog is a gold mine for Sherlock’s EMP!

[This is an updated version of a meta I posted some time ago, but there was some technical problems with the post so I’m not sure many people could read it. Also, now that John’s blog is no longer available on the original website, the links needed to be transferred to the Wayback Machine (X). Anyway, here comes a new, slightly altered, attempt:]

I was reading John’s blog post The Empty Hearse (X) when I spotted this:

I was out having dinner with my girlfriend when he sauntered back into my world. He was dressed as a waiter. BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY. He genuinely thought it would be funny to surprise me. I think he was more surprised when I nutted him. But let’s not dwell on that because again, as the saying goes, life goes on.

Now, doesn’t this sound just a little bit too familiar? Some points in the blog post that especially stand out to me are these, that show up in an exaggerated version in S4 (my bolding):

John: “I think he was more surprised when I nutted him”. Later on, in the morgue scene of TLD, John beats and kicks Sherlock so severely that he’s hospitalized.

John: “He genuinely thought it would be funny to surprise me”. John in TLD (talking to Lestrade after having beaten up Sherlock): “We always saw it coming. But it was fun”.

John: “But let’s not dwell on that because again, as the saying goes, life goes on”. In TLD they do not dwell on that; in fact, the next time John sees Sherlock it’s like the beating in the morgue never happened; Sherlock seems to have somehow harmed himself…

And there’s more:

Only, of course, he comes back into my life which means I find myself being attacked, kidnapped and stuck in a bonfire. We still don’t know why that happened. It had nothing to do with the terrorist plot. It was terrifying though. One of the scariest moments of my life. Trapped. Unable to move. I could hardly breathe. And all I could hear were children! Singing and laughing like they were in a horror movie. Not knowing that I was trapped in the bonfire. And then someone set it alight and that was me gone. Just about. Sherlock and my girlfriend turned up in the nick of time and saved me. It was probably Sherlock himself. Set it all up just so he could save my life so I’d forgive him about what he did. Nah, I know it wasn’t really.

John describes how he felt like he was in a horror movie. In TFP we all feel like we’re in not just one horror movie, but a whole bunch of them!

John is “stuck in a bonfire”, but Sherlock (and - supposedly - Mary) saves him. In TFP John is trapped in a well, but Sherlock saves him.

John: “It was probably Sherlock himself. Set it all up just so he could save my life so I’d forgive him about what he did”. Ghost!Mary in TLD: “Basically he trashed himself on drugs so that you’d help him … so that you’d have something to do, something doctory.” In TLD the roles are reversed, but it’s basically the same idea, isn’t it?

We know from TAB that Sherlock was reading up on John’s blog – something he has probably been doing at least since John’s description of ASiP, even if he might not have payed much attention to it at first. But in TAB Mary asks out loud if Sherlock has been reading John’s blog:

And Sherlock confirms it:

On The Empty Hearse blog post (X) Sherlock even comments: “I see you haven’t spent the last two years working on your writing technique”. So Sherlock has definitely read this post.

To me it seems quite likely that the blog is the ‘John stuff’ Sherlock bases his Mind Palace scenarios on in S4; Sherlock has read and re-read John’s words on his blog after his own return, to try and figure out what John is thinking and feeling. Then he re-hashes these ideas in different scenarios to see what the results might be.

The Empty Hearse post could also be read metaphorically, as in John being terrified by the onslaught of emotions when Sherlock ‘saunters back into his world’ and all the conflicting feelings regarding Sherlock resurge in John’s mind. He can hardly breathe, and his heart is on fire…

But once you’ve started this kind of comparison it’s hard to stop; John’s blog is a gold mine! :) Here’s another one from The Hollow Client (X) where Sherlock’s wild imagination is demonstrated:

As we stared at the suit, Sherlock quickly formulated a number of solutions. Alan had been winding Jack up to the point where Jack genuinely believed he was invisible. Jack had wrapped himself in a complex set of mirrors so that it appeared as if he was invisible. Or had been wrapped up in the mirrors by Alan. He briefly considered invisible paint. Perhaps Jack and Alan were highly-advanced scientists (they weren’t, they were media students). We’d been drugged on the way in and taken to an exact replica of 221B Baker Street where a camera was projecting the suit into the chair. I did stop him at that point and ask who’d have done that. He shrugged and suggested ninjas. Then he continued… the suit was a hologram, Jack had never existed, Jack was dressed up in the same fabric as the chair…

So, we’ve had a lot of mirrors in S3 and S4, haven’t we? On one hand, there are literal mirrors visible in a great deal of the scenes. On the other hand there are other characters mirroring Sherlock and John to such an extent that the protagonists sometimes become ‘invisible’ and the mirror characters take over the show. A complex set of mirrors indeed. There are so many mirrors, in fact, that I won’t even bother to seek them out; even if you only watch a small part of the episodes, you can hardly miss them. 

And I strongly suspect that in S4 Sherlock’s been drugged and brought to his own imaginary version of 221B:

And the ninjas, who were, according to Sherlock, the causing agents of the suit deception? Well, here’s Wikipedia’s definition of a ninja (X):

A ninja (忍者, Japanese pronunciation: [ɲiꜜɲdʑa]) or shinobi (忍び, [ɕinobi]) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan. The functions of a ninja included espionage, deception, and surprise attacks.

Ninja figured prominently in legend and folklore, where they were associated with legendary abilities such as invisibility, walking on water and control over natural elements.

The archetypical ninjas seem to have been climbing buildings with ropes (X):

Sounds like anyone we’ve heard of? ;-)

And in TST we also have Charlie Wellsborough, this guy who made himself invisible by dressing up in the same fabric as a car seat:

This dressing up as furniture is not an entirely new idea, by the way. Here are pictures of Robert Downey Junior disguised as a chair in 221B in Guy Ritchie’s adaptation “Sherlock Holmes - a Game of Shadows”, 2011: 

I don’t know, but Sherlock seems to adapt almost every crazy idea that John has documented on the blog to play out scenarios on his Mind Theatre in S4. In fact, it seems to me that just the way BBC Sherlock is an adaptation of Conan Doyle’s stories about Sherlock Holmes, written by his alter ego John Watson, the most surrealistic parts of this show - HLV, TAB and the whole of S4 - is the detective’s own adaptation of John’s blog posts about Sherlock. And there also seems to be lots of references to the many other Holmes adaptations… 

Any thoughts?
