Adler for President

Valorie. 20-something. American. Sassy. Reads too much, writes a lot too. Occasionally NSFW. Not spoiler-free.

do you ever just sit and stare into distance thinking about all the things bbc sherlock could have done and chose not to?

[skulls-and-tea]

Yes, but I actually end up thinking more about the very specific things they could have chosen NOT to do, yet still… did.

Yes. Both. Often. Every day since TFP.

but the real question is whose shaft dazzles

[adlerforpresident]

Seriously, what on earth would “the dazzling shaft” even mean? Is this a Twilight vampirelock AU?

Sherlock and John derive their energy from toast, takeaway, and SICK MYCROFT BURNS.

Not only is it clear that the scripts are not the “final versions,” I would also just like to remind everyone, for the hundred thousandth time, once and for all, that Martin and Ben are terrific actors but have absolutely no power to overrule a script. They can ad-lib a line here and there, especially a cute joke (”Am I the current King of England?”), but they cannot change the meaning of the entire show on their own.

The reason the scenes in the show differ from the scenes in the script is because the script was changed by Moffat and Gatiss. Period.

It defies belief to think that Martin and Ben could take it upon themselves to tell a different story than the one the showrunners were telling and have the showrunners just go along with it, informing their directors and editors to just *sigh* go ahead and do what Ben and Martin want, they’re the ones really in charge. Yes, there has been a history of actors “secretly” playing characters as gay, but that doesn’t extend to changing the dialogue in multiple scenes to suit their own ideas.

If you are a TJLCer and you honestly believe that Ben and Martin conjured up Johnlock all on their own, then how do you explain the “oh my god” and “my husband was just the same” appearing in the ASiP script, “bathed in starlight” appearing in the TGG script, the subtext in the script throughout the whole show, the subtext in the visuals throughout the whole show (including Sherlock’s flashbacks to ASiP!John in TLD), the subtext in the music throughout the whole show, and the fact that they apparently both decided to abandon this plan mere days after forcing yet another aborted love confession onto their weak, pushover showrunners at the end of TLD? If this was an actor-led coup that required the cooperation of the editors, directors, cinematographers, lighting directors, production designer, costume/hair/make-up team, and composers, then why didn’t it succeed? Why no romantic John-in-a-blanket scene?

I’m honestly confused as to why TJLC not only throws out seven years of consistent evidence, some of which it just got its hands on yesterday, just because a clearly incomplete, non-final script has surfaced, but has also embraced the long-debunked idea that Moffat and Gatiss have no partnership with their actors with allows for the exchange of ideas in both directions (Martin deciding to replace a line with a look, which the showrunners obviously approve of, because they’ve spoken about it with admiration; Moffat and Gatiss deciding to tell the actors to do something that they haven’t written into the script, which the showrunners have…also acknowledged that they do).

[the-7-percent-solution]

I have been thinking the exact same thing. Martin and Ben have NOT changed the direction of this story. Moffat and Gatiss came to them with an idea and the actors jumped on board – very enthusiastically, keep in mind. Moffat and Gatiss are not being duped by everyone else associated with the show. This is THEIR show. They are writers AND creators. They have absolute control over what comes out. To think Moffat and Gatiss wrote the show one way and then the actors took it in a different direction without them noticing or caring is, quite honestly, the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. And that means a lot coming from the person who encourages people to wear tinfoil hats so Derren Brown can’t infiltrate our thoughts.

I need to see this For research reasons Like Can you imagine Benedict just so enthusiastic, passionately kissing Andrew -who’s like damn its Benedict Cumberbatch no need to complain- and meanwhile Mark and Sue standing there like “Ehrm… Ben… Ben- you shouldn’t- ben! Is that - and there’s the french kissing, great”

[wolfhound46-deactivated20170718]

Perfectly understandable; I mean, who, upon being instructed to just nearly kiss Andrew Scott, wouldn’t suddenly encounter issues with their short-term memory?

[dead-is-the-new-sexxxy-deactiva]

This will forever be my favourite.

[dancelikeandrewscott-deactivate]

URG except in that interview Andrew said they never actually kissed…which is fine, that’s fine…but now I’m imagining Andrew having to go BEN STOP, near kiss, remember?!? and just laughing and then them both laughing at the completely ridiculous fact of the entire thing.

new rosie headcanon: at age 4-5 rosie gets really into fairytales and princes and princesses and all that jazz and she adores love stories and sherlock is so good at telling good night stories but they’re never about love, they’re always about adventures and good people defeating bad people and daddy and sherlock running through london at night chasing thieves and villains and it’s exciting but … there has to be more to it, right? so one evening she and john are sleeping over at 221B rosie asks sherlock to tell her a love story and sherlock starts out like “mmh well…um… once upon a time there was a princess in a land far far away,” and he’s already lost because he’s really not good with princes and princesses falling in love, and rosie interrupts him because he’s getting this all wrong anyway, a true love story has to be Real, so she asks if sherlock has ever been in love? and sherlock’s smile falters for a second and then it comes back, brighter than before but a bit bittersweet and maybe a bit sad, and he says “yes, once,” and rosie wants to know if it was a princess or a prince and sherlock tells her it was a prince, a beautiful, brave one who had faught many battles and defeated bad people and healed good ones before he met sherlock, and the very first night they spent together an evil cabbie tried to kill sherlock, but his new friend, his prince, saved sherlock’s life and sherlock fell in love instantly – and rosie asks why sherlock and the brave man he fell in love with are not together and sherlock just smiles and explains to her that the prince didn’t love sherlock back, not like that, he fell in love with a beautiful woman a while later and even married her, and that’s okay because when you really love someone, sometimes you have to give them up so they can be happy. sometimes love stories are a bit sad but they’re still love stories, and sherlock has many happy memories with the man he loves and that’s enough, and sherlock is slowly starting to feel extremely weird, opening up about unrequited love to a 5 year old who should have been asleep 30 minutes ago, the subject of the conversation being her father who’s waiting downstairs with the tea that’s getting cold but… sherlock just keeps going, he can’t really stop, until rosie is sleepy enough for him to give her a good night kiss on the forehead and switch the light off.

so the thing is, rosie is not an idiot and when they’re sitting at the breakfast table the next morning she fumbles with her toast gives sherlock a look and says, “is it daddy?” and sherlock nearly drops his fork and says “What” and rosie just completely matter-of-factly says “the prince. the one you fell in love with. who saved you from the cabbie. i think it’s daddy” and. sherlock and john on opposite ends of the kitchen table just. fucking dying.
