at this point I don't even know if tag fragmentation in the general russian holmes space is worth addressing. a few years ago I successfully kept the ancient customs intact because I wrote a post so deranged and pretentious it displeased people into doing what I wanted but nowadays what's the point in making a grand return of being terminally online if yall kinda right

#history: in the ice age the soviet series were exclusively russian sherlock holmes #the 2013 show is about to appear under a surprisingly generic title of Sherlock Holmes that is also russian #the contemporaries can't come up with anything better than naming it the new russian holmes #it is a decade later #soon it will be 11 years of nrh being *new*#and russian sh keeps dying out in favour of soviet sh #tag fragmentation occurs where the historic russian sh name with almost 15 years of tumblr history gets shafted in favour of soviet sh #a relatively new tag nowhere near of the russian sh legacy #as someone who actually scrolled it all the way back to the very beginning and yes to the first posts of circa 2010/2011 #you can guess why I felt strongly about it since you are just creating an issue that never was and also making a false impression #of how sparsely populated soviet sh is while all this time it was just a secondary but also straight up unused tag #the same thing having two tags with totally different content bc of tag fragmentation is quite annoying #but it is now the modern age and idk if you can even go that deep into any tag anymore with how the search function doesn't work #and who could be wrong. russian sh Is soviet. nrh Is new. and nrh will never change and mix with the russian sh search forever.#plus what is the issue. russian sh gets one post a week and nrh gets one every half a year. the annoyance exists to me only.#do we assemble a council and grant both shows new unique tags and resolve the mistakes of our ancestors #while erasing 10+ years of history behind their current tags in the process thus basically wiping the fandom clean #or do we just live with it while occasionally shrugging at how this all happened #I thought and fought to keep it the way it was because adding to a search that goes back to 2010 is what it's all about o7 #but nowadays truly. everyone else is technically right. what's the point
