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
#these just sum up my personal takes at the years in question and also what i'm seeing on tumblr/other social media#bbc sherlock#sherlock holmes#and i actually have a lot more thoughts to share on this series#specifically relating to the cultural impact#there is SO much about the show that goes unappreciated in hindsight because of how public perception of it has soured#and i totally fell into this as well--i still regularly rewatch hbomberguy's video absolutely dismantling the series and he isn't wrong!!#but what i'm saying is that i think it's easy for us to look at a piece of media (especially one so massively popular) like sherlock...#with very black-and-white lenses. it wouldn't have become so popular if there wasn't something inherent in it that resonated with people#and that's being buried (and i totally forgot it) because 'sherlock is cringe and problematic. can't believe i liked that'#which again it IS full of issues and those are well-documented as they should be. future portrayals should not repeat those mistakes#BUT being able to impact so many people is a merit in itself. and that's only possible because of other genuinely good things about the show#yes the way they handled the relationship between john and sherlock was riddled with problems YES it was often queerbaiting#AND the way they portrayed that relationship had a deep effect on me. i saw a lot of myself in sherlock and the complex way he loved john#the nuanced feelings he had about john's marriage to mary. the part (in s4!) where john calls him inhuman for not feeling romantic love#there was genuine intention and care put into some parts of this show and it comes through in scenes like those. they impact people.#and because of this realization i'm going to (eventually) do a rewatch of the show. i'm much older and i want to see how i'll view it now#but i want to go into it--and i want everyone who engages with it still--to have an open mind and evaluate it for what it is#not what we expected it to be (secret episode anyone?) or what the cultural drift has turned it into (the tiktok of sherlock's mind palace)#but the messy problematic somewhat-heartfelt massively significant and ultimately meaningful piece of media it actually was#anyway that's my thoughts would love to hear y'all's perspectives#funny how after all this time making a sherlock post still feels like i'm poking a bees' nest lol please be kind!#kay can i just catch my breath for a second#kay has a party in the tags

Actually all gravity falls shipping wars in back when the show was airing were hilarious. i once saw two ppl arguing abt wether pinecest or stancest was better like guys i think its better if we just throw both of you into the bottomless pit forever
#mabcifica wasn't mainstream until like 2019 which left dipcifica raining supreme on the pacifica front#but the billdips and dipcificas were ALWAYS at eachothers throats#oh yeah and wendip too of course. it was just this trifecta of fighting#and everyone would be screaming and throwing chairs and shit snd then someone in the back would go 'i ship stan and goldie :)'#and for just a moment the fighting would stop bc everyone agreed that was endgame..... and then the candips would show up#like candips never did anything to anyone but bc they liked roadside attraction in 2016 they were actually hellspawn to everyone#candips were caught in the crossfire of rage. shoutout to all the 2016 candip shippers you deserved better#i know i saw mabill stuff a couple times but it had absolutely no impact on anything. net 0 change#like i said in that last post once the finale aired everyone kinda just. stopped fighting bc there was So Much Happening#there's a real life bill statue somewhere out there we can't be wasting our time here#but i think actually maybe blubsland going canon killed it all too. like we all agreed that was a huge win for everyone#we all put aside our differences for just a moment to applaud The Gay Cops#'they were disneys first gay couple' WRONG goat and a pig#all this to say shipping wars are dumb and if someone's being gross just kill them or something idk#you don't have to make a whole big thing outta it just block them and move on fighting isn't worth it#it is funny in hindsight tho. and if fiddauthors wanna start a war with billfords i'll be watching from the sidelines with popcorn#sassy speaks#gf

thinking about Naruto Clash of Ninja (the first Gamecube game) and how in it when u pit Iruka and Kakashi against each other they're like
Iruka: Show me everything you got!
Kakashi: Careful now, don't overdo it.
And how, when I was a kid I was CONVINCED that they were flirting. I didn't even know what Naruto OR flirting was! My grandparents just got it and the Gamecube in a raffle and I played it knowing nothing.
Anyway the point of this post is that my eight year old self was absolutely right they're definitely married.
(i also thought they were fake fighting as some sort of distraction or something. Not sparring but pretending to actually fight and if that ever actually happened PLEASE tell me I never got very far in the show and I NEED to see that plz)

I keep forgetting to put my fics here asdlfj
Anyway I'm exceptionally proud of this one. Arlecchino reflecting on everything she's learned, breaking up a fight between her children and briefly impersonating Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows

my dad about to accidentally inflict deep and lasting emotional scars on his young children: here’s a movie by the same people who made Totoro! It’s called Grave of the Fireflies

In my idea for a shattered glass version of RiD15 Alchemist Prime would be in the place of Megatronus/ the Fallen. But unlike the Falken he would be the overarching villain of the series and this version of the high council, who would be a version of the Protectobots here, would be his minions while he stays in the shadows.
Honestly that's a better plot than what the show did concerning Megatronus prime

omg got the cutest armor and so it's finally tiiimeeee to shareeee.
This is Flu. <3 She/They pronouns. Badass. Misses her sister who in my mind looks exactly the same but styles her hair differently and is a dark blue instead of a dark purple like Flu. This inn lighting is just meh and their face and freckles are the cutest I'll have to upload a more closeup pic. They're the coolest nerdiest badass-est wizard on this here continent and they're for SURE not an undercover True Soul who has seen and done some SHIT to keep their cover, NOPE.

sometimes i think about the time i tried out for the weightlifting team at my high school (i cannot stress to you enough how twig-tiny 115 pounds i was and am. literally i will snap in half if the wind blows at me wrong. i marched baritone though so actually i was a little stronger then) and how of all the other people there who had been doing this shit for a Very Long Time, I was one of the top 3 for all of the like, "strength challenges" we kept doing. like I held the wall-sit for the 3rd longest, I was fucking good as hell at doing the hops on the field, etc. etc.
you know why i stopped doing it.
they had me try and do a clean and jerk (i think that's what it was called anyway) where you have to jump and YANK the weights up over your head.
i was literally so scared of it that i started crying when the coaches did weigh ins and the coach was like "bud....if you don't want to be here you don't have to......" and I quit the next day :D

okay but for some reason the vast majority of mormons just don't do nerd culture i moved around so many times and I met like maximum two actual gamers and it made me feel insane growing up like I thought mainstream franchises like final fantasy or star wars were obscure and I was a weirdo and then I met non-mormons and was like oh. oh ok so this shit is normal mormons are just really fucking boring

vaguely wondering if they’re gonna give us a glimpse of norman’s shitty childhood in the new gold goblin series/arc since they seem to be trying to make him sorta-kinda more sympathetic. i always found it interesting how norman, spider-man’s greatest villain, kinda got passed over when it came to that trend of giving comic books villains ANGST over their awful pasts; like, he got an abusive parent backstory back in the 90′s, but it’s only been brought up like three times in the past 30 years, which is a bit peculiar given how popular that trend was for a while.

On top of what folks have to say about moose, I wanna add an extra bit,
3) It doesn't matter if you're the only human within a 100 mile radius on a clear one-way road. If there are woods on both sides of you, you respect that speed limit and keep your eyes up.
A deer CAN and WILL just run from one side to the other right in front of you.
Deer season is upon us.
1.) Wear your seatbelt.
2.) If your choice is swerve at high speed or hit the deer you plow Bambis mom like you’re an IT specialist with a secret Twitter account and it’s anthrocon weekend.
Deer are softer than trees. Deer are softer than rolling your car 8 times.

I have various locations that aren't Civitrecce and Selatak, but I do basically shit and fuck with them these days. Atlantis who. Geovyn what.
I used to have my beloved Underland but while it might still exist in theory it's such a weird niche setting (and a pretty isolated one for the most part, being deeper underground than most jade caverns are) I can't see anyone wanting to make trolls for it now that my friends I used it with have all left the ftc.
No wait I forgot Kaningård, that's also fairly used, since aside from being a cavern it's also a safe haven for anyone Tuuya or their family allows to stay there.
I used to share Port Mina with Bel, that was a fun town, but Gliese moved back to her original hive years ago and I don't really use Ionole much anymore. Cennef has also moved to...wherever, somewhere close to Kyeeve. Not like she had a lot of happy memories in Hanhai anyway.
Derevnya is also basically defunct by this point. Pretty much just exists in Maidel, Svalla, and Thrixe's backstories.
I will be adding a new location in the future relevant to Ullane, but that won't properly be a thing for a while.
