100 Reasons NOT To Kill Yourself

1. We would miss you. 2. It’s not worth the regret. Either by yourself if you failed or just simply left scars, or the regret everyone else feels by not doing enough to help you. 3. It does get better. Believe it or not it will eventually get better. Sometimes you have to go through the storm to get to the rainbow. 4. There’s so much you would miss out on doing. 5. There is always a reason to live. It might not be clear right now, but it is always there. 6. So many people care, and it would hurt them if you hurt yourself. 7. You ARE worth it. Don’t let anyone, especially yourself, tell you otherwise. 8. You are amazing. 9. A time will come, once you’ve battled the toughest times of your life and are in ease once again, where you will be so glad that you decided to keep on living. You will emerge stronger from this all, and won’t regret your choice to carry on with life. Because things always get better. 10. What about all the things you’ve always wanted to do? What about the things you’ve planned, but never got around to doing? You can’t do them when you’re dead. 11. I love you. Even if only one person loves you, that’s still a reason to stay alive. 12.

BBC: "And then, Mycroft's umbrella turned into a sword! And then a gun! And then a drone grenade propelled Sherlock through a second-story window unharmed! And then there's an island in the middle of the ocean that holds a Hannibal Lector woman with magic powers of mind control! And then Sherlock gets teleported back to his old mansion! And then Sherlock learns the power of love from his psychotic killer sister."

BBC: "We're very proud of this show."

Sherlock’s characters

[enigmaticpenguinofdeath]

I know emotions are still running high in a lot of areas, but could I just say this - surely most of the area of fandom disappointed with the way Sherlock has turned out don’t think Steven & Mark deliberately ‘queerbaited’ to cause upset and distress to fans, right? So you don’t think that Mark, a gay man, sat down one day and thought let’s set all this up in a bid to undermine representation and validate homophobia and all the other allegations being thrown around. If you feel those were the results, okay, but you don’t genuinely think he was hoping and aiming for that, right?

If so, then could I please issue an appeal that you try to address your concerns to the Powers That Be through routes like emails that explain, rationally, why you feel that way and where you think writing/marketing/etc for the series suggested things that never happened. Educate them. Could I respectfully suggest that it is not appropriate to contact the Switchboard LGBT charity Mark Gatiss is a patron for and tell them they should make him step down because his writing has damaged so many people.

It’s reached the point that some people seem to be actively trying to ruin his personal and professional life. Calling him an “honorary straight” and invalidating his sexuality, sending him abusive messages, and now attacking his support for a charity. If you’re upset, write your letters, but please try to keep some perspective and don’t basically ask an LGBT charity to sack a gay man who has done years of work for LGBT causes because you disagree with the way he writes Sherlock.

[scalperjim]

Well written.

[the-7-percent-solution]

Regardless of whether or not we get that Lost Special, take great pride in knowing we’re the arm of the Fandom that demanded they bring Holmes back, just like the 1,000s of people in Victorian England who did the same thing after the original debut of The Final Problem.

History books talk about those livid Holmes fans that canceled their subscriptions to The Strand and who wrote angry letters to Doyle after The Final Problem.

We did exactly the same thing, except we banded together and tore apart the legitimacy of Apple Tree Yard, a completely unrelated show.

“In a plot twist worthy of Doyle himself, angry Sherlock fans unleashed their distress on Twitter on Sunday night, collectively tearing apart a new television show on BBC One simply because they didn’t believe Sherlock was over.”

I don’t know about you, but this is the most fun I’ve ever had. Ever. Participating in a global conspiracy while reenacting a social phenomenon from Doyle’s day? Sign me the fuck up. I am LIVING.

[scalperjim]

Yep.
