there's something so poetic and healing about having experienced the dumpster fire that was the johnlock experience (the queerbaiting, the open disdain for the queer shipping by the cast/crew/showrunners) and now experiencing that of heated rivalry, where the show is giving us exactly the queer joy we've been looking for and everyone involved with the show is completely and utterly embracing the fandom that has come with it.
the way hudson and connor have been like "bring it on, tell us about the omegaverse"? the way jacob has been like "oh yeah if you think this artistic choice was because gay, yes, that's exactly what it was, all of the team logos are dicks and butts"? like benedict, martin, and moftiss would NEVER
Digimon Adventure: Bokura no War Game - Taishirou-fied!
So a few weeks back, I discovered the Taishirou-fied Our War Game parody from this post here:
https://lickedlipssinkships.tumblr.com/post/110070607917/bokura-no-war-game-taishirou-fiedzip
It was an absolute masterpiece, but as the above post mentioned, YouTube took down the video, and the original script writer/editor lost the original files at some point. So the only remaining copy was a copy downloaded from YouTube from back in the day, but this video was in 360p and cut into five parts. Now in 2021, I decided to âremasterâ the whole thing since we now have Blu-ray quality footage, and well, itâs not that much effort to re-transcribe the subtitles and slap them onto the footage.
So I would like to present to the world my first contribution to the Taishirou community:

If youâre on a desktop/laptop, you should be able to stream the movie from that link without directly downloading it (but feel free to download if you wish!). If youâre on mobile, well, I guess just wait until you get yourself to a computer.
Feel free to share this around with other fans and re-upload, clip, and whatever else your heart desires. Letâs spread the love. <3
Also, I obviously do not own the rights to Digimon, Bokura no War Game, or anything else mentioned in this post. Iâm just a fan who wants to live in his little fantasy, and wants to share that fantasy with other like-minded folks.
Note: If the video above ever gets taken down or the link dies, feel free to contact me on here and Iâll see if I can get it up again.
Oh my gosh, what??? đ I can't believe people are still discovering and engaging with this wild thing I did like 18 years ago. Does the mid-2000s Internet humor from a 16-year-old even still hold up?? Haha.
This is so cool! I hope resubbing it was a much smoother experience than what I had to do on Windows Movie Maker back in the day, lmao. Also, it was originally uploaded to YouTube in five parts! It was because YouTube had a 10-minute upload limit back then (wild huh?).
Anyway, randomly decided to see what would come up when I searched "Taishirou" these days and was really pleasantly surprised to see this. Thanks for making my night!
oh look, i can come back to my johnlock tumblr without having followed anyone new and my dash is full of ineffable husbands, iâm v v v proud of u all
So this past Thanksgiving, Iâm on the couch with my cousin and weâre watching Sherlock on my phone together while weâre eating turkey. My cousin is like 7 but sheâs perceptive for her age so I knew sheâd enjoy the show.
So weâre watching the first episode and then THIS fucking scene comes on:
And my cousin legit just BURIES her head in my chest like sheâs trying not to watch it and Iâm like, huh?
So I say to her, âwhy are you covering your eyes?â
And thatâs when she says,
âMommy said to cover your eyes when two people in a movie are about to kiss.â
I laughed so hard that I dropped my phone on her head and she cried.
i can go literal months without even thinking about johnlock and then i come across this one (1) fucking fan video and i mcfuckin lose it for 5 hours straight and have to bury myself in bed with a fanfic crying because this is the most heartbreaking love story ever told and i will Always Be In Hell It is Never Over
In a reversal of usual Hollywood practice, Martin Freeman stars as one of only two white characters in a predominantly black film.
I find the title of this article quite misleading (as they often are) but for the links sake I kept it. IMAO itâs been chosen to get a reaction out of people. Martin talks about so much here. His roles in Black Panther, Sherlock, Fargo, Startup, personal things, his new TV series Breeders, being a mod, music etc.Â
Read for yourself:
âIn a reversal of usual Hollywood practice, Martin Freeman stars as one of only two white characters in a predominantly black film. He plays a CIA agent on the trail of a villain in the superhero blockbuster Black Panther. The other white actor is his Hobbit co-star Andy Serkis. As a result, the two were known on set as âthe Tolkien white guysâ.
âYes, that was quite funny,â agrees Freeman, over a sushi lunch. His character, Everett Ross, is also on the receiving end of one of the filmâs best lines â âDonât try and scare me, coloniser!â â after he bumps into Shuri, a princess in the mythical African kingdom in which the film is set.
But Freeman was keen that Agent Ross should be more than the beleaguered operator that appears in the original Marvel comics, saying he didnât want to play another âgoofy white guy among cool black people going âWhat the hell?ââ So he discussed fleshing out his character with director Ryan Coogler.
âAnd he was completely on board with that,â says Freeman. âI had no interest in [playing a thin character] any more than a black actor would have had interest â as they have been for many years â in being a one-or two-dimensional black character.â
Freeman thinks weâll be seeing more of Everett Ross in the Marvel cinematic universe. But he isnât sure if that will mean he and Sherlockco-star Benedict Cumberbatch â who plays Marvelâs Doctor Strange in the franchise â will ever share big-screen time. Nor is he sure if he and Cumberbatch will be reunited on the small screen any time soon.
The fourth series of Sherlock finished in January 2017 amid a flurry of negative headlines accusing the once highly acclaimed show of having become convoluted and over-the-top. How did Freeman feel about the backlash?
âUm, weâre British. We basically want everyone to die after the first album,â he says. Yet he thinks some of the critics may have had a point. âTo be absolutely honest, it [was] kind of impossible. Sherlock became the animal that it became immediately. Whereas even with The Office [the Ricky Gervais comedy that launched Freemanâs career] it was a slow burn. But Sherlock was frankly notably high quality from the outset. And when you start [that high] itâs pretty hard to maintain that.â
He seems more frustrated by speculation among the showâs rabid fan base that Watson and Sherlock are in love. âThere was a chunk of people who just knew it was going to end with us getting together,â he says, still sounding exasperated 15 months after the last episode was broadcast.
For the record, then: âMe and Ben, we have literally never, never played a moment like lovers. We ainât fââ lovers,â he says forcefully.
Have they discussed a fifth series?
âNot massively. Um⌠I think after series four [it] felt like a pause. I think we felt weâd done it for a bit now. And part of it, speaking for myself is [due to] the reception of it.â
Rather than the criticism, he means the exceptional personal pressure he found himself under as a result of the showâs success. âBeing in that show, it is a mini-Beatles thing,â he says. âPeopleâs expectations, some of itâs not fun any more. Itâs not a thing to be enjoyed, itâs a thing of: âYou better fââ do this, otherwise youâre a câ.â Thatâs not fun any more,â he repeats.
The actual reason for our meeting is to talk about Freemanâs new compilation album, Jazz on the Corner, which he has put together with old friend Eddie Piller, the founder of revered label Acid Jazz.
The pair co-hosted a show on independent station Soho Radio a couple of years ago: two hours of âdigging in the cratesâ for beloved old jazz records to play. There was such a positive response to it, that Piller suggested an album.
âAnd it was nice. Itâs just a good excuse to delve through some jazz records at home and kid yourself that, âIâm doing this for this work purposesâ.â
The actor is a Mod to the soles of his well-shod shoes, but Freeman was keen to break out of the confines of the culture and âgo jazzâ.
âThere are some, for want of a better word, Mods who canât talk about anything else. Totally mono-cultural. And that drives me totally barmy.â
He himself grew up on the fusion of ska and punk rock that dominated the early Eighties. âCatholicism and Two Tone were my twin religions as a kid,â he grins. âI was crazy about it. I went mad over Madness and The Beat and the Specials. It was great music that managed to touch 19-year-olds and nine-year-olds.â
Itâs music first and foremost that keeps him sane in the long hours of downtime on film sets, particularly on huge and laborious productions like the Atlanta-based Black Panther.
His long absences away from home are rumoured to be among the reasons for his split from his partner and Sherlock co-star Amanda Abbington, with whom he has two young children, in 2016. He admits now that juggling work with home life has always been tricky. âEven when Amanda and I were together I was very picky [over what I did]. I even thought about [not doing] The Hobbit! I was thinking, âHmm, thatâs a long time away from two little kidsâŚââ
Has the split made him change his attitude to his career? âNo, it hasnât massively impacted on my life. Iâm determined to do things that I want to do. And not do the things I donât want to do. And me and Amanda will always find a way of making it work, because weâre very supportive of each other.â
Freeman is currently single, which might help explain his raft of recent projects, including Black Panther, the jazz album, last yearâs West End play Labour of Love, an Australian zombie movie for Netflix called Cargo and new BBC sitcom Breeders.
Created by and starring Freeman, Breeders is about âthe stuff in parenting that nice middle-class people just donât want to talk about, and almost never do,â he says. âAnd I canât quite believe it. I canât have serious conversations with parents who donât admit that sometimes they want to throw themselves out of a window â for real!
âI realised when my kids were very, very young that I couldnât have any more nice north London conversations about how fantastic it was. Yes, of course it is â you love your kids more than anything in the world. But sometimes you want to kill everyone in your house.â
Part of his recent output would also seem to be driven by a desire to remove himself as much as possible from the âeverymanâ persona he first cultivated as Tim in The Office, a persona he has vocally resented being labelled with ever since. Recent roles have been grubbier and dirtier, from his mild-mannered insurance man who descends into murder in Channel 4âs Fargo, to the Amazon drama StartUp, in which he played âa bent FBI agentâ.
âI really enjoyed doing that,â he says eagerly of StartUp. âIn Fargo you saw a guy who at the start was not psychopathic and was not mental. But in StartUp he begins there. This was not an, âooh, heâs an everyman, but heâs taken a turnâŚâ No, heâs really dark. And I really loved that.
Did it unlock any inner demons?
âNope,â he shoots back with a smile. âIn my job I think thatâs exactly how you exorcise things, because you get to do it on the set. Not that Iâm never a complete pâk in real life â I am a complete pâk in real life sometimes, but probably less than I would be if I didnât have this job.â
