#might actually write somthing about this/draw somthing cause

[funkyfreshman]

I’ve read a couple fics where snotlout gets good with archery and I genuinely love that, I think maybe it’s the fact he’s been pushed to be this big burly guy who fights with axes, swords, hammers, his damn fists, then being good as hell at archery it’s just RAHHHHH imagine he just embraces it and lets himself indulge on that skill please it would be so good and just another thing that makes him different to how his dad wants him to be. And maybe it helps him even further strengthen his bond with hookfang like if he were to focus on archery and then add it with dragon riding, he would have to put a lot of trust into his dragon so he can focus on hitting targets. And augh there bond is already so good but imagine IMAGINE, PLEASE SEE MY VISION. And like it would add so much to the team, hiccup is oddly there front line he has his sword and his gas thing. Astrid is his shield. Ruff and tuff the bomber or whatever you would call it, and fishlegs is there heavy hitter. IMAGINE IF THEY HAD RANGE, eugh. The thoughts are swimming

SAVING  JOHN  WATSON

________________________________________________________________

ONCE AGAIN PLAYING WITH MIRRORS ON THE BASIS OF SYMBOLISM

GOING TO DINNER TO CATCH A KILLER

PILOT: Sherlock already knows 'what' the killer is. A cabbie.

SHERLOCK: There are cars that pass like ghosts, unseen, unremembered. There are people we trust, always, when we’re alone, when we’re lost, when we’re drunk. We never see their faces, but every day we disappear into their cars and let the trap close around us.

And when a black cab pulls up at the other side of the steet Sherlock knows exactly what's going on.

SHERLOCK: I give you the perfect murder weapon of the modern age, the invisible car. The London cab.

Sherlock reacts immediately. With a little help of Angelo (code word 'headless nun') he acts like a drunk and approaches the taxi. The plan goes wrong though. Serial killer Jeff Hope is able to drug Sherlock. After bundling the half conscious man into his cab, where he quickly passes out, Hope drives away. John notices that something isn't right and starts running after the cab .... without his cane.

__________________________________________________

ASIP: Sherlock hasn't the 'faintest idea' who would be hunting in the middle of a crowd.

A black cab parks at the side of the road across Angelo's which raises Sherock's suspicion.

SHERLOCK: Look across the street. Taxi. SHERLOCK: Stopped. Nobody getting in, and nobody getting out. SHERLOCK: Why a taxi? Oh, that’s clever. Is it clever? Why is it clever

On the off chance that the serial killer could be inside the cab Sherlock and John (without his cane) chase the taxi through the streets of London . Sherlock is right and wrong at the same time. He suspects the passenger to be the murderer when in fact - as it turns out a little later -  it is the cabbie. Sherlock and John return to 221b without having achieved what they set out for. After a while the cabbie arrives here as well and lures Sherlock into his car with the promise to explain how he was able to talk people into suicide.

________________________________________________________________

THE MAIN-DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE SCENES:

PILOT:  It is Sherlock who phones and approaches Jeff Hope

Sherlock knows already the cabbie is the murderer. John and Angelo are in on the plan and observe from afar. Sherlock gets druged, abducted and is then completely helpless at the mercy of the serial  killer. John chases the taxi on foot back to Baker Street (a five minute walk between 221b and Angelo's) 

________________________________________________________________

ASIP:  It is Jeff Hope who phones and approaches Sherlock

Sherlock follows him willingly and with full knowledge that this is the murderer. Sherlock doesn't tell anyone about it. He gets never druged in this version. John is able to trace Sherlock to Roland-Kerr Further Education College because the serial killer neglected to get rid of the treacherous pink phone.

__________________________________________________

HOW DOES THIS STORY START ?

John Watson the soldier, the doctor, comes invalided back from the war - unable to work in his job anymore. He doesn't get on with his sister Harry. Because John can't afford London on his army pension he is looking for a flatshare. His therapist tells John that writing down in a blog everything that happens to him would be very helpful. Problem is ... nothing happens to him.  And John keeps a gun in his nightstand.

THINGS THAT HAPPEN BOTH IN THE PILOT & ASIP

John (with his cane) meets Sherlock at 221b.

Sherlock reacts enthusiastically when he finally gets summoned by DI Lestrade on the case of the serial suicide murders. 'Oh, it's Christmas!' Sherlock exclaims and full of excitement he rushes out of the door.

A frustrated John stays behind who damns his bad leg, his disability, for being the reason he has lost a life full of action, adventure and meaning.

Unexpectedly Sherlock comes back to invite John on the case.

After having investigated the crime scene Sherlock rushes off again, leaving John behind a second time.

Unexpectedly Sherlock calls John back to Baker Street to discuss the case. Then he invites him on the hunt for the serial killer and ... to dinner.

AND WHAT HAPPENS AT THE BEGINNING OF TLD

Faith Smith (with a cane) comes to Baker Street seeking the help of Sherlock Holmes.

It's about murder. Later it turns out that a serial killer is involved.

Sherlock notices certain things about Faith. Her isolation, her limited funds, that she left her job.

But he isn't interested in her case and sends her away.

Unexpectedly Sherlock calls her back because suddenly he realizes somthing very important:  Faith is on the verge of killing herself.

Sherlock invites her to dinner and takes her case.

In these scenes Faith Smith serves as a mirror for John Watson. For one second Sherlock even sees John in his mind ...  walking with his cane down a dimly lit street (ASIP). There is the memory of a damp coat (lady in pink) and there is a handbag too.

PILOT & ASIP - a smallish suitcase without the weight of a pink phone  

TLD - a handbag with the revealing weight of a heavy gun

Sherlock reads the symptoms of depression and suicidal tendencies correctlly and is aware of the dangerous condition Faith is in.

SHERLOCK: It’s too heavy. You said I was your last hope and now you’re going out into the night with no plan on how you’re getting home ... and a gun.

And Sherlock reacts really sweet. He invites Faith on a stroll through the nightly streets of London and later to dinner with fish and chips. He explains patiently and in great detail how he deduces certain things and how he draws his conclusions from them. They walk and talk the whole night. When the new morning dawns Sherlock demands Faith's gun as payment for taking her case and throws it into the Thames.

SHERLOCK: “Taking your own life.” Interesting expression. Taking it from who? Oh, once it’s over, it’s not you who’ll miss it. SHERLOCK: Your own death is something that happens to everybody else. SHERLOCK: Your life is not your own. Keep your hands off it.

John's gun gets thrown into the Thames as well. It happens at the end of the PILOT.

SHERLOCK: Where is it? JOHN: Where’s what? SHERLOCK: Don’t. Just don’t. What did you do with the gun? JOHN: Oh, er, bottom of the Thames.

________________________________________________________________

AND WHO WOULD BE THE VICTIM OF A SERIAL KILLER ?

SHERLOCK: He wants to kill anyone. He’s a serial killer! SMITH: Anyone.

FAITH’s VOICE: Anyone. MOLLY’s VOICE: Anyone. MARY’s VOICE: Anyone

SMITH (multiple times): Anyone

(In total 'anyone' is mentioned by different characters 28 times in TLD)

_______________________________________________________________

SERIAL KILLER JEFF HOPE FROM THE PILOT:

CABBIE: Anyone who didn’t know where they were going, ’cause they were drunk or lost or new in town. CABBIE: Anyone I could walk through the wrong door

__________________________________________________

Interestingly the term 'anyone' is at no time uttered by serial killer Jeff Hope in ASIP.

-  SAVING  JOHN  WATSON  -

In the PILOT as well as in ASIP Sherlock deduces a lot of things about John which he tells him right away - first in Bart's lab and on the next day during the taxi ride to the crime scene. But Sherlock is not the only one who notices certain things. The audience gets included in the deduction process as well. We are the ones who are able to watch an isolated and depressed John Watson in his sparsely furnished flat. His nightmares are the very first thing the story starts with. It is clear from the beginning that this man is in a really bad condition. This is a man who has lost his joy for life ... who has lost his meaning of life. The way John looks and moves when he is alone in his dim little room ... how he eyes the gun he's keeping in his nightstand ... tells that he is very near the mark of using it on himself.

But what the audience doesn't see is, if Sherlock Holmes notices the same things as well. Does he deduce about John in the PILOT and in ASIP what he deduces about Faith in TLD? 

Looking at  John ... does Sherlock see 'suicidal, alone, strapped for cash, good cook  and isolation' ?

Does he notice that John is in great danger? That he is in dire need to be saved? If so ... how does Sherlock react? Well, he invites John on the case and to dinner ... very similar to how he reacts with Faith. Therefore Sherlock might very well have deduced the same things about Joh Watson. Just Sherlock's reaction isn't shown to the audience. Or ist it?

________________________________________________________________

AND ONCE AGAIN THE LYING DETECTIVE

This episode is woven of several story threads (in fact, the whole show is). If I had to name the two main threads in TLD  I would call them:

'THE EVOLUTION OF SHERLOCK: CHAPTER 'DRUG ADDICTION'

'SAVE JOHN WATSON: CHAPTER 'GET THE HELL ON WITH IT'  

Actually, the second title could be used for the whole of S4 (or more?):

'Save John Watson' - The first episode TST - ends with this request

The whole second episode TLD - is about this request.

The third episode TFP - seems to bring the story in the perfect position for achieving this request.

Hopefully S5 will present the successfull outcome of this request.

((As mentioned in several previous posts (X X X X X X) I think that Mary isn't a real person but a character 'casted' (invented) by Sherlock to serve as an avatar for himself on his 'Mind Stage'. 'It's for an experiment'.  Additional information regarding this idea can be found here and here and also in 'Why Mary?' by @loveismyrevolution. In that case  the 'insturction' how to save John Watson actually comes from Sherlock himself - it is the result of his own deductions.))

THERE IS A CASE SHERLOCK ..... YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ..... SAVE JOHN WATSON ..... SAVE HIM SHERLOCK ..... SAVE HIM

This is how TST ends. And TLD starts with a case that mirrors the PILOT as well as ASIP in a lot of things. Probably to drive home the point as clear as possible -  right after Faith 'vanishes' mysteriously by daybreak near the Thames and Sherlock starts wandering aimlessly through the streets -  the audience as well as Sherlock is reminded of the main purpose of this episode again:

Don’t think anyone else is going to save John, because there isn’t anyone

And then later, near the climax of this story, the audience gets in detail Sherlock's instructions from the DVD which has already been given to him in the prior episode (TST).  What he has to do to achieve the very important task of saving John Watson:

Don’t think anyone else is going to save him, because there isn’t anyone. It’s up to you. Save him. But I do think you’re gonna need a little bit of help with that, because you’re not exactly good with people, so here’s a few things you need to know about the man we both love – and more importantly what you’re going to need to do to save him.

You can’t save John because he won’t let you. He won’t allow himself to be saved. The only way to save John ... is to make him save you. Go to Hell, Sherlock. Go right into Hell, and make it look like you mean it.

Go and pick a fight with a bad guy. Put yourself in harm’s way. If he thinks you need him, I swear ... he will be there.

And exactly this is what Sherlock is doing in 'The Lying Detective'. He picks a fight with a really bad guy. He puts himself into mortal danger. He bets his own life by playing an insanely risky game. Druged and completely helpless Sherlock submerges himself to be at the mercy of a extremely dangerous  serial killer. And John starts running to help him. Well .... he starts driving .....

Oh .... but hasn't all this happened before?  It's on the tip of my tongue .....

ONCE AGAIN - BACK TO THE BEGINNING - TO THE PILOT

Sherlock invites John on their fist case. He invites him to dinner at Angelo's. Sherlock picks a fight with a bad guy (and he doesn't inform the police ... really nothing new under the sun).

Sherlock puts himself into harm's way. He gets druged, bundled into a cab and is kidnapped by a serial killer.

JOHN: Something’s gone wrong. ANGELO: No, no, no. All part of the plan. ANGELO: Sherlock always has a plan. JOHN: Yes, and it’s gone wrong.

And John Watson immediately starts running .... chasing the cab ... attempting to save Sherlock Holmes. First part of the plan achieved?  It seems ....

 THE FINAL PROBLEM MIGHT BE A THREE PATCH PART PROBLEM

GOING TO HELL

AVOIDING SAMARRA

STAYING ALIVE

Hoping John arives in time. Because the only way to save John ... is to make him save Sherlock. Either they both survive or neither of them. Because #Sherlock Holmes lives means #John Watson lives. This show runs in circles!

Right from the beginning of the story? It almost seems so ....

Hi, I am not actually upset about anything, I was just trying to offer up my two cents on the topic. But if I came across as angry in my comment, I apologise and blame the character limit on the comment box. (english is also not my first language, and i mostly write academically, so that might be a factor.)

I do infact have a rather busy life, and meant it more in the way of “if i get no response, then I am not going to take the time out of my day to post somthing”. I don’t particularly care (as in, it does not awaken any strong emoutions in me), but I’ve seen the debate about likes vs reblogs going around.

I guess I lied a bit when I said I don’t care. Because if I truly didn’t care, I wouldn’t have bothered commenting. I care in the sense that I am afraid that other artists are gonna draw the same conclusion as me, that if people don’t reblog then the people don’t care, and the artists are not going to spend their time shouting into an empty void. If no one shouts back, eventually all the people who create content for the fandoms are goiong to leave, and we are all going to be poorer for it.

Of course I appreciate likes, but as a person who use my likes purely as bookmarks, the ratio scewing more and more towards likes rather than reblogs as time goes by is very discouraging, and makes me rather sad when I consider where we might be in the future regarding new art and content for all the various fandoms at this site if other feel similarly to myself. (Which it seems like many do, based ont he posts I’ve seen going around)

sorry for the long reply, but apparently i did in fact care more than I thought.  I appreaciate you reaching out, even if there is no cause for concern.

@theghostofaspider hey re: ur reply to the post abt likes vs reblogs, i think u shld read this post. it's entirely fair to be upset, i'm not trying to have a go, just offering an alternative perspective
