Me: It is Perfectly Normal to struggle while doing visual tasks in the dark, and fumbling while plugging in my phone is a neutral act. It has been over a decade, can you please just-

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

#supernatural #dean winchester #spn #destiel #castiel #deancas #misha collins #im 20 i have been Experiencing supernatural and johnlock since i was 12 and merthur since wayy before that i have fought Wars #this is crazy #i love u hannibal i love u 911 (if u make eddie gay)#for the love of god by 'mostly headcanoned' i dont mean that it was never intentional #i am aware that they put the subtext in on purpose #they knew what they were doing #but my focus here is on the actor actually saying it because like #if its not mostly headcanoned then y was the entire cast denying it for years AND YEARS #like do yall not remember what jared and jenesn used to say #there have been many many many instances where the cast has made us feel crazy/stupid for saying anything abt destiel #im just saying TO ME its crazy that actors and creators talk so openly about these things now !!! again i was raised on merlin and sherlock #ok also im confused on the queerbaiting part #everyones saying its queer coding and not queer baiting but cant they be true at the same time ?#im not being dumb on purpose i swear im just confused #like yes dean is very much bi coded and their relationship is queer coded but if the creators deny everything #and we only get a last minute confession after 11 years #that doesnt count as queer baiting ?#someone smart explain this to me 🙏

#spn #bbc sherlock #bbc merlin #spn is a complex case #this is genuinely a joke #while spn did use queerbait tactics it's also true that destiel is canon #one thing doesn't negate the other #nbc hannibal #hannigram #destiel #merthur #johnlock #ngl i prefer queerbait ships....#canon queer rep is AMAZING but there's crack in queerbait ships #not natural

Genuine question here !

I'm seeing a bunch of recent content creators and artists making new adaptations or media inspired by Sherlock Holmes.

There's Fawx and Stallion ( @224bbaker ) , Watson's Sketchbook by @contact-guy, Fogtown (@fogtown-sleuth-society), The Beekeeper's Picnic game (@beekeeperspicnic) and the web-series I am currently working on : @thebakerstreetproject

(Probably others too that I am forgetting about !)

I was wondering, has it always been like that ? Or has something triggered some form of resurgence of the "old-as-time" Sherlock Holmes fandom ?

Does it have to do with a story that has -rather obviously- been queer for ages but that people finally feel free exploring ?

Or is it just because everything hit public domain...?

What do you think ?

#johnlock #sherlock holmes #fawx & stallion #fogtown #watson's sketchbook #beekeeper's picnic #the baker street project #question #queer #are we just tired of the queerbaiting ?#they are in love your honor #they have been for years

Queerbaiting sucks... but

I find it so affirming as a person who struggles with their romantic orientatation. I just live for that state of not quite friends/not quite lovers.

Like yes, they are partners, yes, they live and die for eachother, yes, every other relationship they have loses all meaning compared to them. But also no, they haven't kissed, and they don't want to kiss, and yet, somehow, every single word, every single glance, every single touch carries so much meaning and conveys so much love because this amount of platonic love is usually unheard of and they don't want the other to misunderstand. And I just- aaah, it gives me so much hope and reminds me that romantic love isn’t the only type of love worth experiencing and showing on screen/paper.

I do wish it was done intentionally and wasn’t just a product of homophobia and capitalism. Like I really, really hate the reason I get this representation. Like, it also leaves a somewhat sour taste in my mouth, because I can see that if the world was more accepting, it would probably be a romantic relationship.

(I sometimes see people calling queercoding queerbaiting, and just to make it clear, that isn't what i'm talking about)

In September I watched Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes and it ruined my life I really cannot stress how much I love these movies

#then read the books and loved them in an entirely different way #but GOD early 2010s queerbaiting hits like a fine wine #sherlock holmes #john watson #ritchie holmes

something about the new popular shows seems awfully familiar to me hmmmm.....

#it's the beginning of a new era #an era without mass queerbaiting #also the way david tennant transcends time and is now a vital member of both trios #good omens #what we do in the shadows #our flag means death #supernatural #doctor who #sherlock #superwholock #also this is not hate i am/have been in the fandoms for all 6 shows and i have very fond memories of all of them

watching Sherlock for the first time ever and im currently on S2 Ep1 and let me tell you… the amount of jealousy radiating off John is insane… I actually can’t believe it

#I knew the show was queerbait but I did not expect it to be THIS gay #no wonder why y’all were so upset they didn’t become canon #bbc sherlock #sherlock bbc #sherlock holmes #john watson #johnlock

I’m glad we’re getting queer rep these days but lowkey miss when they would just shamelessly queerbait. bring back the days of 22 episodes of homoerotic bullshit and then when you ask about it eric kripke runs you over with the impala and jeff davis finishes the job with the jeep

When I watch the ship I knew was going to be queerbait turn out to be queerbait
