[malevolent-muse]

I do not accept Eurus as canon.

I will not be elaborating on this point.

[221bnassau]

Apparently, now every time I rewatch something I have to do this because nothing has ever been funnier than these texts. So here you go, bbc Sherlock's version.

[sarcasstic-jpmvr]

TECHNICALLY the only thing that’s canon is ACD Sherlock Holmes

The rest are just fanworks

EURUS ISN’T REAL

[mayaruinstheinternet]

I finished Sherlock BBC last night, and, yes, tears were shed because

A) It's over.

B) Moriarty never came back from the dead like I predicted

C) John and Sherlock never kissed.

[desnoot]

Hello yes, I have been assaulted by thoughts. May I present you all with this Sherlock x The Magnus Archives au that just kind of *vaguely gestures* writes itself???

Main character knows shit he absolutely shouldn't by normal human standards, mystery genre with suspense, it's even set in London for God's sake. Enter the headcanons.

The Holmes Siblings

• Family serves The Eye and keeps relations with other avatars.

• Not blood related, like the Fairchilds. Holmes is just a name, but they were raised together.

• The Holmes kidnapped them when they were very young because they had an interest in gifted children, similar to the institute in tmagp.

• Mycroft was brought in last to keep an eye on the other two, he is still the oldest.

• Timelinewise the family attempts a ritual that goes wrong. "Uncle" Ruddy, head of the family, dies in the attempt and Eurus is weakened to a debilitating state. Also goes a little insane due to the Eye's influence.

• The Holmes run what is basically The Institute.

• The Diogenes Institute has close ties with the Yard, the government and royal family. One could even say they run most of them.

• Sherlock is basically the Archivist. Barely acts the part. Obsessed with closing open cases.

• Basically works alone untill he meets Lestrade and later on John, with the rare exception of Molly being included.

• The archives are in utter disarray. This is not on purpose, it is just his way.

• Out of the three, Sherlock is by far the one that abuses the Eye's power the most. He does feed it but he uses it to exhaustion.

• This is the reason Mycroft is still a motherhen.

• Mycroft is head of the institute.

• Has the most control over the Eye's powers. He does feed it a lot. Having access to the entirety of London's cctv feed does help.

Yes, I am writing Sherlock BBC aus in the year of our lord 2025. No, I am not finished.

Askbox is open in case anybody is curious.

John Watson and Trust Issues

[1neptia]

I love her character. She's just too doomed by the plot 💔

[noodles-and-tea]

Such a silly question but, I got into Sherlock recently and found your art through it and I need to know your opinions on the show’s adaptation of Moriarty. I hate him so much but like, he’s also lowkey fruity and I’m here for it lol

He’s silly idk. I like Andrew Scott and his dance he does makes me giggle.

An "Always the Grown-Up" Rant

I know that a lot of fans are angry at Moffat and Gatiss for a lot of things, and most of all for Season Four.

I personally am mad at them for a few things. Mostly things that I can easily let slide given the immense enjoyment I've had and continue to have from their BBC Sherlock series.

But THIS FUCKING LINE!!!

A woman's wedding ring is dirty even though the rest of her appearance is carefully curated? I'll handwave it and maybe google when we started using soap.

Man wears same large thick coat outdoors in all seasons? Fine. It's England. And I have an old (autistic) friend who actually does this.

John's eyebrow says that he hasn't rung his sister, and Mary's a bread baking disillusioned Guardian reader with a secret tattoo? Hahaha why not?

Sherlock has to use his incredible mind over matter to restart his heart but also "it was surgery"? Bit much, but I'll overlook it. For you.

Evil genius simultaneously hacks every screen in the country? Eh, ok.

Secret island prison? Sure. Let Sherlock live his pirate fantasy. Let John point his gun at someone. Let Moriarty play Queen while dramatically disembarking from a helicopter.

Predicting multiple terror attacks at lightspeed from Twitter? Well, we've come this far.

I do not watch Sherlock for 'slice of life' realism and dear lord I hope no one else does. I do not WANT realism. I want to forget that I am vast majority bedbound and that people are out there having coffee and going for a pint and working at normal jobs with payslips and lanyards and spreadsheets. And generally speaking, BBC Sherlock has helped a lot with that!

But WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK were they THINKING WITH THIS LINE???

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!

Sherlock is barely a fucking grown-up on his own, but I'd allow it. Especially after the "baby" jokes John, Lestrade and he himself have previously made at his expense.

But COMPARED TO MYCROFT?!?!

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK. LADS?????

WERE YOU HIGH? WERE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MINDS? WHAT THE FUCK???!!!

See, after I first heard this, I quickly recon headcanon-(is this a thing? Is there a name for this soecific thing?) -ed it into Mrs Holmes the mad genius being completely out of touch with the social reality of her children- especially as she's been so harsh to Mycroft in this scene and not massively had to look after adult Sherlock herself. Because, y'know, Mycroft was doing it!

Then I complained about it on Reddit.

To my HORROR, another user told me that Steven Moffat had said in an interview that it was meant to be taken as true. But y'know, we're all just randoms on the internet and people get things wrong.

Then another user told me they theorised that Eurus had reprogrammed her parents to favour Sherlock, which is an interesting theory.

But clearly in the script, everyone... including Sherlock and Mycroft... just quietly agrees.

What....

What is the reasoning for this?

I know some will say "mate, welcome to all of season four" or even "three and four" or all of it.

I know some people consider Mycroft a bully, but I really don't. Certainly not after the scene on the plane and the 'Redbeard' reveal.

I'm open to persuasion though. If anyone has any thoughts on this, feel free to share! I might well not agree, but I won't attack you either.

Or the writers. But again, if I ever end up trapped with them in a lift or some such... I WILL have questions!

Did some more Sherlock funnies but this time it’s the whole Holmes siblings gang (plus John, cause he’s an honorary Holmes at this point)

- A BBC Sherlock fanart by 梨塔寐里

This is one of the most stunning piece of fan arts I've ever laid eyes on, not just because of the absolutely extraordinary techniques and aesthetics but the details and conception design behind it. Take a moment to truly look at the symbols, the intricacies, and the sheer conceptual genius of this unbelievable creation.

A Transcript of the 5 Minute Conversation Between Eurus and Moriarty

[Discussion]

Eurus: I have a master plan to finally break Sherlock!

Moriarty: Ah, wonderful! What's my part of the plan?

Eurus: Well first you, of your own accord, have to come up with a series of impossible mysteries for Sherlock to solve.

Moriarty: Okay...sounds like I'm doing a lot of the work...

Eurus: And then you have to let Sherlock outsmart you, and pretend to be so upset that you kill yourself.

Moriarty: So I pretend to kill myself?

Eurus: No, actually kill yourself.

Moriarty: So just...okay...once again, sounds like I'm doing a lot of the--

Eurus: Now, before you die, I need you to record some close-ups of yourself saying the following phrases...

She hands Moriarty a script which he leafs through

Moriarty: Most of this is train noises! Are you going to be doing ANY of the work?

Eurus: Oh of course! I'm going to dress up as Zoe Dechanel on a bus and seduce Watson.

Moriarty: Oh, that's clever! Wait, why?

Eurus: For...uh...to be a sort of mysterious and foreboding presence in Sherlock's life.

Moriarty: Right, in Sherlock's life. So why torture Watson?

Eurus: So I can shoot him.

Moriarty: Ah! Brilliant! Killing Watson will--

Eurus: No, no. Just with a tranquilizer gun.

Moriarty: But...why?

Eurus: To announce that I'm Sherlock's sister! And then he'll tell Sherlock!

Moriarty: So you're going to tell him you're Sherlock's sister and then shoot Watson...on the bus?

Eurus: Oh! No. I'm also going to pretend to be Watson's therapist, who will not be Zoe Dechanel.

Moriarty: So you can pointlessly shoot Watson with a tranq?

Eurus: Precisely! AND, to really be a nuisance, or something, I'm also going to pretend to be a girl that Sherlock will be investigating on an unrelated case that I'll have no idea he'll be investigating in 5 years because it would be literally impossible for me to anticipate that. But rest assured I'll dress up as someone related to some case, and that someone will leave Sherlock a note with "Miss me?" written in invisible ink!

Moriarty: Miss me...that's on the script you handed me.

Eurus: Exactly! I'm going to play a video of you saying "Miss me?" to Sherlock so he thinks you're still alive!

Moriarty: But I won't be...Ohhhh! So we're going to set up an elaborate mystery before I die so that it will appear to Sherlock that I've set it up after my death! He'll think I'm still alive, and it'll drive him craz--

Eurus: Right, right, but no. No, there won't be an elaborate mystery under your guise. Just little notes that say "Miss me?" Because in actuality it'll be me he's missed! Not you! Then once I've revealed myself as his sister, I'll make him go through a gauntlet of deduction! And thennn use those fun train sounds which you're going to record for dramatic effect!

Moriarty: But then...excuse me, madam, why do you need me for your plot at all?

Eurus: To confuse the audience!

Note: I wonder how many people have read this. Every time I read it, I laugh uncontrollably.
