Maybe TD-12 is not a drug
My boyfriend and I were theorising about Sherlock’s EMP and we realised that Eurus (East Wind) maybe refers to the right brain hemisphere (east = right, just in case), and everything is happening in Sherlocks’ mind.
At first we didn’t pay that much attention, but later we read some psychological articles that pointed the right brain had some similarities with Eurus’ personality, here we go:
The right hemisphere is mainly in charge of spatial abilities, emotions, feelings, face recognition, intuition.
The brain’s right side also helps us to comprehend visual imagery and make sense of what we see.
Is our creative hemisphere and is in charge of processing music.
It performs some math, but only rough estimations and comparisons.
Damages on that hemisphere can lead us to not be able recognising places, names, faces and… Psychotic behaviour and schizophrenic aswell.
(Sorry for shitty quality)
We’re not saying that Sherlock could be psychotic or schizophrenic but TFP maybe is showing us the conflict that Sherlock is having in his mind against that side of his brain (feelings, traumas, …). If he doesn’t fight back against ‘Eurus’ maybe she could take control of his mind and that’s why Mycroft had to “jail” that part of him.
And this is not a crazy idea as we can see images of brains in the radio station in Sherrinford.
All Eurus’ puzzles in TFP are all about emotional context (Molly ; Watson or Mycroft shooting ; also murdering David), intuition and deductive reasoning (three Garridebs) here you can see article about right hemisphere involved in deductive reasoning.
Then, we had Eurus, the right side of Sherlock’s mind and we kept searching for more.
As we got psychological all the way down we searched what TD-12 could be and we found some interesting things:
First that there is a drum module that’s is call like that (we had to avoid all these kind of results, A LOT).
And then that there’s a test to measure the TD-12 (Tendances Dysfonctionnelles = Dysfunctional Tendencies).
Maybe it was a coincidence (you know what we say about coincidences) but it was worthy to take a look at. We found this:
“TD12 capitalises on the idea that the forms of personality aberration seen by psychiatrists (called ‘troubled personality’ in French) are but the extreme end of continua and represent characteristics that many of us easily recognize in the foibles of our friends and colleagues. It contains the 12 subscales of
Maybe not everything in this list, but… Do you recognize someone there?
You can see more here (has parts written in other language, but almost everything is in English: (x)).
This TD12 theory had something relevant too: potential situational triggers. This may lead us to think that there was an event that involved Sherlock and he was shocked/traumatized and well you know what can happen when you get traumatized *drum roll please*, yes: AMNESIA. Maybe this part can explain why Sherlock didn’t remember the dog kid Victor Trevor (aka Redbeard, the eating-from-a-bowl fellow). We don’t know what happened with him (maybe he drowned for real or that’s symbolic) but made us think that this event ‘unleashed’ Eurus in Sherlock’s mind and uncle Rudy and later Mycroft took care of him/her.
Magnussen brought the preassure points. He wanted to know the preassure points of the people so he can control them, so maybe Sherlock is testing his preassure points just to control himself.
We’re now in this rough idea, and wanted to share it with you and tell us what you think, and if you can bring more ideas.
Memory inhibition: When you search ‘TD12 psychology’ in Google in the first page you can find this Wikipedia page with no relation at all. (x)
Culverton described TD12 as ‘bliss’. We searched that term and we find that there is an album called ‘Bliss’ (x) made by the band 12 Rods. The more interesting thing about this was the discography of this band:
