Mycroft contemplated the chess set in front of him. There was not, currently, a game in progress, at least not one within the confines of the black and white checkerboard. He played, of course, and he did so very well. There were few who could beat him, and those that could? Well, they were all members of his family.

Perhaps it was no surprise that he had grown up comparing each member to a piece of the board. He and Mummy were similar; not the King nor the Queen, but bishops, sliding in from unexpected angles and disappearing just as quickly. They were facilitators: traditional and constrained at times, but ultimately ruthless.

In his youth, he had believed his father to be a pawn, almost an ephemeral inconsequence. Cannon fodder and little more. To Mycroft’s embarrassment, he had harboured that misconception for years, failing to see the truth of it. His father may be a kind, well-mannered man, happy to let his family be the centre of attention, but when it really came down to it, he could evolve into something far more. Push the pawn far enough, and he became the Queen, ruthless, sharp and vicious in defence of what he believed was right.

Though he would never admit so out loud, he had made the same mistake with John Watson. At first, he had been nothing but one of Sherlock’s toys. One who would be discarded as soon as the novelty wore off.

How wrong he had been. John Watson was no foot-soldier. He was a Knight. Unpredictable and unexpected, he emerged from the obscurity of the ranks with devastating consequences. His moral sense should have made him predictable, but John Watson did not follow the rules. Not if they got between him and the results that he wanted.

Mycroft sipped his brandy, wrinkling his nose before he leaned in and plucked the King from its place. The glossy black surface shone back at him, winking mockingly in the firelight.

Sherlock.

Oh, not always. Once, his brother had been a rook: off to one side, lacking guile and subtlety, barrelling in without any thought but to his own wishes. Mycroft could not quite pinpoint when that had changed. However, at some indeterminate point, he had looked up and realised the truth.

All of them, in all their roles, orbited Sherlock. He was their centre, whether they liked it or not. His personal power may be limited, but without him, there was no game – no point…

No purpose.

Just added eight ficlets to the Baker Street Chronicles including the one above: Knight - For Heather 💖

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

Eight Years Ago!

Eight years ago today, I started posting To Light Another’s Path on AO3. It was the first fanfic I ever posted on the archive, and I’m so glad I did. I’d used LJ and fanfiction.net before that, but as I took my first steps into the Sherlock fandom, people encouraged me to check out this site I’d not really known about before.

I’ve honestly never looked back. More than a million words over a couple of fandoms later, and I’m loving AO3.

Thanks for making the past eight years on this site so good, everyone. 💕

Stranded

‘Do you think we’re less than that – best friends? Or more?’ John’s head pulled back, and the look he received suggested John was seriously wondering how someone so intelligent could be so stupid. ‘Well, definitely not less.’

When stranded on a derelict barge at high tide, John and Sherlock reconsider their friendship.

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

[bunjywunjy]

hnn I WANT IT SO BAD

[bunjywunjy]

Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?

I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!

(just fine)

Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures

OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card

[bunjywunjy]

Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)

[bunjywunjy]

so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.

[bunjywunjy]

it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!

ajdhf.

well that’s just,,,

So, John and Sherlock (my guess is S2 … perhaps ASiB?) have sat in Eleven’s first Tardis (S5/2010 - S7/2013), while Twelve has sat in Sherlock S4 221b (Class filming 2016/7).

becoming vegan because factory farming is unethical is like deciding that since walmart and amazon mistreat their employees you are now going to get everything you need out of dumpsters

[jumpingjacktrash]

in a nutshell, instead of reforming the bad parts of your society, you try to opt out of it in a way that has really no effect, and wouldn’t work at all if the majority of people weren’t still part of the industry you dislike.

there was, for a while, a real movement of people who tried to get everything out of dumpsters, as a way of opting out of capitalism. but the problem was that you couldn’t get what you need when you need it, leading to you being kind of a drain on your community, and someone had to buy that stuff in the first place for it to end up in that dumpster anyway. it was Fundamentally Silly.

going vegan to opt out of farming practices has similar problems. for instance: you (hypothetical vegan you) won’t buy honey, but the bees are being used to fertilize the vegetables and fruit you eat, they’re making the honey anyway, all you’ve done is – well, nothing, because you’re not a big enough demographic to make an impact, but even if you were, honey sales are a much smaller part of beekeepers’ income than crop pollination. and beekeeping is not a big faceless corporate interest. it’s not monsanto. it’s a bunch of single-family or partnership business with a truck or two and a couple hundred hives. the bees make honey after a pollinating run, and the beekeepers sell it for a little extra income. if you made a dent in that, you’d be achieving nothing but making joe beekeeper buy his kids’ t-shirts at k-mart instead of target.

animal farming and plant farming are deeply interconnected. plant farmers grow animal feed; animal farmers sell manure for fertilizer. most non-corporate farmers raise both plants and animals. it’s more economic and gives them more resilience.

if you were a big enough demographic to hit ‘the farming industry’ in its wallet. you would be making things MUCH harder for small farmers than for factory farms. you would be making it easier and easier for factory farms to crowd family farmers out of business. so that’s pretty much achieving the opposite of what you want, right there.

and then there’s the fact that plant farming is just as rife with gruesome factory farm conditions as animal farming, but it’s humans who are exploited in those. i’m not going to level accusations of racism here, but it really is unfortunate how little the vocal internet vegan contingent seems to know or care about the exploitation of the mostly nonwhite workers in the industry. it makes y’all look racist, whether you are or not.

look, i keep saying this, even though folks never seem to hear me: i don’t hate vegans, i’m not trying to stop you being vegan, i do not care what you eat.

my problem is with defensive internet vegans trying to promote their dietary restriction lifestyle as a solution to problems in the real world. it is not. it may create more problems than it solves, or maybe it breaks even, i don’t know. it certainly doesn’t solve anything that can’t be solved just as well without it. it can only look reasonable from a perspective of deep ignorance about where food comes from and how the farm economy works. you basically have to be young, urban, and somewhat privileged to embrace it. and it is, fundamentally, very silly.

[questionablemotivations]

Furthermore I’d like you to look at a sheep farm. Actually look at it.

You CANNOT grow crops there. That’s WHY there are sheep on it.

You refuse to use wool, well aside from.the fact that it’s a fantastic fiber and how polluting polyester and other plastic fibers are, it doesn’t harm the animal to remove and in fact is done for their benefit.

Above - a sheep farm (note steep and craggy hills), an uncompressed bale of freshly shorn wool and some sheep being shorn.

It’s not stressful for the sheep. Sheep are dumb. Be confident, dont hurt them and they’re good. Wool is a good fiber - strong, warm - even when wet - renewable and biodegradable.

My issue with Veganism-As-A-Cult is the lack of critical thinking. By all means eat what you want, wear what you want to wear but a blanket ban on all animal products because they’re HARMFUL is in itself an extremely harmful philosophy.

Do you refuse to eat plants that were pollinated by bees or fertilized by manure since they’re a product of animal labour?

Honey doesn’t hurt bees. Wool doesn’t hurt sheep.

What about animals that are going to die anyway? We are currently in the process of exterminating possums in our country as they are a pest and destroyer of our native species. We kill them humanely but they’re still going to die because its them (introduced pest) or our endemic endangered species. We use the meat for pet food and the fur for a lot of things now - in making yarns or fur items - because the alternative is to let it rot. Which is just bloody wasteful tbh.

What would (generic) you prefer we do here? Let sheep die of over heating or the weight of wet wool? Force bees into swarming (90% casualty rate) so we can avoid taking their honey? Leave pest animals to rot and encourage the use of set-and-forget traps since there’s no incentive to check them?

What’s the humane option?

see: why I hate militant veganism

[msaprildaniels]

Veganism, as I have encountered it, tends to be a thing that morally smug white people try to spring on others as a quick fix solution for the world, and I resent it more every day.

[madqueensarah]

Like, I’m vegetarian, and my dad got real angry, did some research, then changed a few things: - Buying locally where possible - Eat less meat. If you’re eating meat at every meal, you’re probably eating too much to be healthy anyway - ‘Organic’ is less important than ‘Free-range’ if you’re looking out for animal welfare
