Sherlock Imagines and Oneshots

Hi all! I’m Isza (they/them) and this is a blog of BBC Sherlock (along with characters from the original ACD series that wasn’t in the show) imagines and oneshots! Feel free to make a request! I write xreaders, ships and even named readers, so feel free to ask for pretty much anything!

[aceinthehole312]

Yes, I’m dumping this here. Check it out, if you like historical AUs and Mormor!

Expect a lot of historical inaccuracies! It is a gay couple in the regency era that WILL be getting married, so… 😘

Sebastian sighed as the door to his study opened once again and a quick glance up told him that John was slipping in to follow Severin who had interrupted his work a few minutes prior. He looked down at the stack of papers he had to go through, knowing it was unlikely he would get through them before the night with both of his brothers in the room.

"To what do I owe this misfortune?" He asked, leaning back in his chair, hands interlocking in front of himself. John decided that was enough license to take a seat, as Sebastian dragged his gaze between them, envious of the ease that took to their lives. John, fresh from travels across the isles of Greece, and Severin, only encumbered by the artistic whims of his mind and whatever individual his eyes took to in the ton. It could be the streak of misfortune that seemed to follow him in romance, or perhaps it was the weight of his family’s expectations for him, but Sebastian could truly only feel envious of the successes that came to them from the ease of their lives.

Dearest gentle reader,

Did you miss me?

As the members of our esteemed ton lazily sojourned in their rustic retreats, this author was doing but one thing. Honing my skills. Or should I say, hatching my plans? No, even better, I was sharpening my knives… for all of you. Questions abound as to this author’s identity and means. Seeking those answers shall prove fruitless, indeed. There is, of course, another unknown identity at present. Though, this one you will be able to unearth. I speak of the season’s diamond, wherever she may be.

Your move, Your Majesty.

Eighty Percent

[olg6328]

[ID: A comic by Sophie Labelle (@assignedmale).

Panel 1 of 4: A random person tells Stephie, "We shouldn't allow kids to be trans because 80% end up detransitioning."

Panel 2 of 4: Stephie rebuts, "That number is from Kenneth Zucker's study from 30 years ago, in which he claimed to have "cured" some gender non-conforming kids of gender dysphoria with "reparative therapy"―a form of torture. Half of them never even expressed gender dysphoria!"

Panel 3 of 4: She continues, "The researcher's clinic was eventually shut down after he was revealed as a fraud, and his methods recognized as inhumane and unethical. His results were never reproduced.

Panel 4 of 4: She continues talking to the random person, "Actual, recent studies consistently estimate detransition rates to be between 1 and 2%". The random person dismissively replies, "Ok well I got my studies, you got yours. Agree to disagree."

As a former humanities student, I feel it is my duty to reblog this one.

[bramblefrump]

A tech bro tried to convince me AI was amazing cause "you could make 30,000 screenplays in minutes" not realising that every single one would be shit, you'd have to sift through everything just to find some good bits, time wasted that could've been spent just writing a screenplay.

Technology Brothers know nothing about what goes into creating a work, other than the fact a work has been created to be exploited for cash. They see creativity as an investment opportunity, not a love for humanity.

Matthew Dow Smith: "Just remember: Arts & Humanities are so useless and pointless that Tech Bros were driven to spend billions of dollars to try and get a computer to do something that badly approximates something Arts & Humanities students could do half asleep and wired on coffee the night before the due date."

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

[katjohnadams]

Time to bring this back. Again.

[katjohnadams]

Apparently this is evergreen. Dammit.

[citadelofmythoughts]

I remember adults telling me, as a kid that girls can be equal to boys in all fields including athletics. Now, they consider girls to be delicate flowers who could never hope to compete against boys.

watching a star trek TOS episode where a starship captain has a psychosis that makes him aggressive and manipulative. he kidnaps kirk and spock, tortures his doctor, kills another mental patient, and threatens the safety of the Enterprise crew.

despite this, kirk continues to show him dignity and respect. instead of villainizing him, kirk reminds him his mental illness is not his fault and the awful things it has caused him to do are not who he truly is.

when spock finally shoots the man you think "well that's the end of that guy." but then we learn spock intentionally only stunned him, and the man is last seen getting mental health treatment. he is unaware of what has passed or who he is, and is confused to be referred to as "Captain" but he returns the respect he receives

Mental illness was treated better in a '60s scifi show than it is now.

The writer knew what he was doing, and the producers shot it.

Texas gave up that land so they could keep slavery:

“When Texas sought to enter the Union in 1845 as a slave state, federal law in the United States, based on the Missouri Compromise, prohibited slavery north of 36°30' parallel north. Under the Compromise of 1850, Texas surrendered its lands north of 36°30' latitude.”

Tell me more about how critical race theory shouldn’t be taught in school.

I am a grown ass man and I just learned about this 5 minutes ago.  Fuck everything about trying to hide the sins of our past.

Climate denialism in the netherlands is so fucking funny like. Bro the floods. They’re coming

[pocket-deer-belly]

There’s a natural ice-skating event where you tour through 11 cities in Friesland (one of the northern provinces) that’s scarily close to celebrating it’s 30 year anniversary of not being held at all on account of the lack of thick natural ice. It’s been like a solid 5 years since i’ve seen any amount of snow. Bro there’s no snow anymore. I REMEMBER THERE BEING SNOW AND IT’S NOT THERE ANYMORE BRO

[pocket-deer-belly]

Bro i don’t know september heatwaves used to not be a thing! It used to be cold and rainy in september just 10 years ago!

We've got dry seasons. We used to not have dry seasons. EVER.

[pocket-deer-belly]

I actually love how much the notes are filled with people remembering seasons being radically different in their childhoods than they are now it’s fucking crazy. Every year more people will be radicalized by the weather.

Okay, I was just going to reblog this without commentary, but I can't keep this to myself. I'm a PhD student in environmental science and this is my fucking highway.

The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of-- feel free to point out if there's an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.

Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.

Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a "recent fad" in research.

I think one of the Worst Things about wanting to find period clothing from other cultures, is trying to find fucking casual/work clothes. Like no, I do not want to see all these fancy intricate kimonos, I want to see jinbei, and field work outfits so I don't put a damn obi on this poor boy so he has a belt to hang his knife from.

[daxdraggon]

so international space station astronauts apparently dropped a tool bag during a spacewalk. and if you look outside when the ISS is in your region, you can see it with binoculars

The tool bag is now orbiting our planet just ahead of the ISS with a visual magnitude of around 6, according to EarthSky. That means it is slightly less bright than the ice giant Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun. As a result, the bag  —  officially known as a crew lock bag  —  is slightly too dim to be visible to the unaided eye, but skywatchers should be able to pick it up with binoculars.  To see it for yourself, first find out when you can find spot the space station over the next few months (NASA even has a new app to help you). The bag should be floating two to four minutes ahead of the station. As it descends rapidly, the bag is likely to disintegrate when it reaches an altitude of around 70 miles (113 kilometers) over Earth. 

she's fucking magnificent

100% Disagree

It’s an underdog story about classism in which the folk hero (Johnny) is confronted by a powerful man (the Devil) who tries to exploit the hero’s perceived ignorance and inferiority by offering a great reward with impossible odds. Although Johnny warns him that looks can be deceiving, and that he’s going to regret the dare because Johnny is the “best there’s ever been”, the devil is blinded by his greed and arrogance.

The devil creates an awful cacophony of technically excellent fiddle playing that would be impossible for Johnny to replicate. It’s a trick.

But Johnny just grins at him and starts to play “simple” classic country fiddling songs - Fire On The Mountain, House Of The Rising Sun, and Daddy Cut Her Bill Off. He doesn’t rise to beat the Devil - he simply creates his own music from his home, in the style that he knows, and his love of it and the familiarity of the music make his “backwoods” fiddling more perfect than the Devil could ever achieve.

It is thus the devil’s pride, not Johnny’s, that allows Johnny to Bugs Bunny his way into a golden fiddle.

(In that sense, I do agree that it is the most American song: in a land of prejudice and inequities, great power lies - dormant but ever-present - in those we underestimate and attempt to exploit.)

[cumaeansibyl]

Also people initially react to the devil's part like "holy shit that's badass" because he's got electric guitar and bass and a whole backing band to make him sound good. Of course he sounds amazing. But if you drill down to the actual fiddling -- and this is straight from Charlie Daniels -- it's not as technically difficult as what Johnny does. It's fast? But it's mostly just going up and down scales.

Here's a good performance -- the devil's part starts around 2:00. Check out how long Daniels just stands there holding his fiddle while the guitar and piano carry the weight. I love that piano bassline but fiddling it ain't.

It's still an American narrative: if you can afford to hire a bunch of more talented people, you, too, can look like a genius. Doesn't make you one.
