Broke (2016): BBC Sherlock is a phenomenal piece of media and anything that seems like a flaw just hasn't been fully explored yet

Woke (2020): BBC Sherlock is an incredibly flawed series run by an egotistical writer, it never deserved the hype and is actively bad on so many fronts (especially representation)

Bespoke (2024): BBC Sherlock is flawed and bogged down by increasingly poor writing, which many fans refused to see while it was airing, leading to hugely misplaced expectations (particularly for the final series), AND it has the seeds of some compelling characterizations and portrayals, some genuinely solid performances, and touches--albeit imperfectly--on complexities that are still being discussed today (particularly as it relates to the relationship between Sherlock and John). The huge cultural impact of the show has created a massive pendulum effect in its public perception, leading to most people today remembering a caricature of the show (whether positive or negative) rather than appreciating its nuanced merits and failings...that being said Season 4 sucked

On my long list of things to write, I think it'd be interesting to write some content of Jamie's earlier neath days and the marvellous.... from mary-annes perspective. Just the like. Under the surface ways Jamie utterly struggles with day to day life and society are things she has such a unique look into, and the way the various class dynamics play into it all with Mary-Annes role and Jamie's background and attempts to play at things, and the very unconditional dynamic they have

chapter 2 of forever under lock and key!

I know the ask is about ships but could you make a non ship one with Dean and Carlos from the Winchesters? I can't think of an exact thing for Dean to say, but the first sentence can be what Dean would say for their first meeting. Thank you if you can (*^‿^*)

"I like your hair," Dean says, staring up from where he's clinging to the bottom of Mary's winter coat, and Carlos grins wide when he adds, with all the breathless gravity of a four year old eager to impress their opinions upon a new friend; "It's swooshy and it's pretty like Mommy's hair, and your-- your beads are pretty and shiny and shiny is my favorite color."

"Swooshy and pretty and shiny is exactly what I was going for, so thank you, little buddy."

Even with almost six years between now and the last time he'd seen Mary, Carlos is relieved to find that they still have a good sense of one-another -- can still communicate silently, swiftly, like they used to when it was life or death. He meets her eye, and her face softens, and understanding passes between them before he slides one of his lucky beaded bracelets -- the bloodstone one -- free.

Dean's eyes light up when he takes it.

When he smiles, he looks just like his mother.

In my mental ranking, Becoming Elizabeth, actually beat Wolf Hall for the most gay Mary Tudor and Stephen Gardiner portrayal award.

Y'know I did not realize how perpetually fuckin nervous I am every hour of the day until my sister offered me some of her edibles to try during the weekends.

Like, originally it was for back pain, but at some point I started noticing that 'Huh. Everything feels less hazardous?'

Like, any time I'm about to speak to anyone who is 1) over the age of 10 and 2) not in my immediate family, I think about what it is I'm trying to convey, plot out five different ways to say it, weigh potential connotations of word choice to figure out what I might unknowingly imply to avoid upsetting/angering anyone before choosing a sentence, calculate the most appropriate time of day to reach out/say it, rehearse it in my head/aloud to decide which version of my voice is most likely to make this go well, calculate the three most likely responses whoever I'm talking to might give depending on their emotional state so I can be prepared to respond to each of them... and then I talk.

This is ingrained. Active conversations are exhausting cuz I do all of these calculations in real time while talking, but at the same time I have to, or I just can't talk. (Which is a special kind of hell when half your relatives speak a language you're only sort of fluent in at the best of times). But then with the edibles, I'd find myself thinking 'Or you could just... not?'

The awareness that something could go wrong if I don't do it this way is still there, but I suddenly have the ability to just... not worry about it. Like 'Okay? There's a possibility this could go badly if we don't say something perfectly, but 'badly' in this context is still not that bad. Who gives a shit. This is noooooot worth this amount of effort.'
