Guys, Colin Mochrie’s daughter is transgender. It’s so amazing and heartwarming to see celebrities accept and be vocal about their trans loved ones. It’s a reminder for myself and other trans people that we are not alone. There is love in the world. Just another reason to love Colin Mochrie 💖💙
The Natural Conclusion of Things
Now, I wasn’t exactly looking for a blatant confirmation of a romantic relationship between Sherlock and John, but it seemed logical for it to appear, particularly after The Lying Detective.
If you put a rifle on the wall in scene 1, it has to get fired before the end of the story. Announcing that John and Sherlock both need a romantic connection in The Lying Detective is one such rifle.
I wasn’t expecting it to be obvious, and it’s not, not entirely, but yeah, it’s there.
This episode isn’t about Sherlock and John and a change in their relationship, to be clear. It’s about why Sherlock is what he is. But slid in there is the assumption that Sherlock and John are back together, the way they haven’t been since The Reichenbach Fall, but this time with eyes wide open. They’re together and talking this time, that’s where we left them with The Lying Detective. They are finally, finally talking to each other about their feelings in a way they never did before. This story doesn’t address those steps directly, it certainly addresses them obliquely.
First: Mycroft wants to talk about their sister alone because “It’s family.” John stays in the conversation because Sherlock wants him there for the same reason. Sherlock considers John family. John considers himself family as well; they are in agreement about it, and John doesn’t offer to go, or move to step away. On its own, that’s a lovely sentiment shared between them, but what it suggests is that John is not only his friend. That’s nice, but only the first part of why I think they’ve moved their relationship to a new place.
Second: Eurus hears Sherlock play one note on his violin and knows that he’s had sex. That’s news! Who’s Sherlock having sex with? Eurus assumes it’s a woman. That’s the same kind of mistake Sherlock made in A Study in Pink. But who else would it be? It’s John.
Third: when John finds another DVD left by Mary, he doesn’t watch it alone. Sherlock needs come over to watch it with him. Sherlock is fully engaged in John’s emotional life at this point, just as John is fully engaged in Sherlock’s, family and all.
Most of this story is game face time, so other than a shot of them co-parenting, and them physically putting their lives back together at the end, there isn’t time for them to show much more. Except that’s sort of the point: they are working as a unit through this whole story, a truly complete unit. They are at peace with each other, they trust each other, they know each other. There is not a flicker of doubt left about each other.
Nothing will ever come between them again.
*looks around* Am I okay to...yeah? Sure? No cause I'm pretty sure they'll kill me if I say that I - yeah? *straps on helmet, hides under bulletproof glass*
I enjoyed that.
∞ Scenes of Sherlock
My heart is exploding from all the cuteness.
Mycroft Holmes and his umbrella skills [pt.2]
I actually loved it???
They’re back at Baker St. LITERALLY picking up the pieces from all the destruction they’ve had over the last two-three years, while also solving new cases, and it’s brilliant!
I loved it.
Mycroft telling Sherlock he always despised him in a bid to try to make it less painful for Sherlock to shoot his big brother?
Most perfect Mycroft moment ever.
— This is a private conversation. — John stays.
Why do people say, episode 3 has no johnlock? No, they aren’t making out, but John is declared as FAMILY by Sherlock - that IS very close. And they are raising Rosie together in 221B, solving cases and LIVING together - pretty much all I wanted.
Why is everyone getting so emotional? Was one of my jokes too funny?
Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.
So to everyone else in the galaxy, all humans are basically Doc Brown.
Aliens who have seen the Back to the Future movies literally don’t realise that Doc Brown is meant to be funny. They’re just like “yes, that is exactly what all human scientists are like in my experience”.
THE ONLY REASON SCOTTY IS CHIEF ENGINEER INSTEAD OF SOMEONE FROM A SPECIES WITH A HIGHER TECHNOLOGICAL APTITUDE IS BECAUSE EVERYONE FROM THOSE SPECIES TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE ENTERPRISE’S ENGINE ROOM AND RAN AWAY SCREAMING
vulcan science academy: why do you need another warp core
humans: we’re going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast
vsa: last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast
humans: hahaha yeah
humans: it did tho
vsa: IT EXPLODED
humans: it exploded twice as fast
I love this. Especially because of how well it plays with my headcanon that the Federation does so much better against the Borg than anyone else because beating the Borg with military tactics is nigh-impossible, but beating them with wacky superscience shenanigans works as long as they’re unique wacky superscience shenanigans.
Yeah, I love this.
Reminds me of the thing I wrote a while back about Humans in high fantasy realms - they’re basically Team Fuck It Hold My Beer I Got This.
Impulsive, passionate to a fault, the social structures they build to try and regulate this hotheadedness ironically creates even greater levels of sheer bull-headedness. Even their “cooler” heads take action in months or weeks.
All their great heroes of the past were impossibly rash by galactic standards. Humans Just Go With It, which is their great flaw but also their greatest strength.
klingons: okay we don’t get it
vulcan science academy: get what
klingons: you vulcans are a bunch of stuffy prisses but you’re also tougher, stronger, and smarter than humans in every single way
klingons: why do you let them run your federation
vulcan science academy: look
vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores they don’t do experiments on one and save the other for if the first one blows up
vulcan science academy: this is a species where if you give them two warp cores, they will ask for a third one, immediately plug all three into each other, punch a hole into an alternate universe where humans subscribe to an even more destructive ideological system, fight everyone in it because they’re offended by that, steal their warp cores, plug those together, punch their way back here, then try to turn a nearby sun into a torus because that was what their initial scientific experiment was for and they didn’t want to waste a trip.
vulcan science academy: they did that last week. we have the write-up right here. it’s getting published in about six hundred scientific journals across two hundred different disciplines because of how many established theories their ridiculous little expedition has just called into question. also, they did turn that sun into a torus, and no one actually knows how.
vulcan science academy: this is why we let them do whatever the hell they want.
klingons: …. can we be a part of your federation
I just left my husband alone with our two children for sixteen days. I was not worried about anything regarding the house, their food, or their wellbeing. I put all the appointments in the family calendar and my husband checked it and kept them. I literally did not worry about them. I missed them, and I was sad that they missed me, but I didn’t worry about them AT ALL. I need to impress upon you all that I missed their company, but was not worried for their welfare.
I also did no meal prep. I don’t even think I went shopping right before I left.
This is not about apples and oranges. This isn’t even about my husband. This is about the fact that this is apparently WEIRD.
Another mum at my daughter’s school is leaving for ten days. She’s taking her youngest (who is a very small baby) and leaving her husband with their two girls. She has been cooking for days preparing freezer meals. She’s panicking and deputizing her six year old to remind him how to make school lunches. AND I AM APPALLED.
A) He is definitely not helpless. (He’s a doctor or something.) What gendered bullshit. B) THAT LITTLE GIRL IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER AND HER SISTER’S WELLBEING. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. C) Why is she married to this person and creating children with him if he’s this big of an idiot?
While she was laughingly recounting this, the other mums were nodding and smiling sympathetically, like oh yes, I too have my caveman at home!! Such managing required! I was the only one who was like “Dude, he’ll be fine. Literally. He will be fine.” I said it a lot. She was not convinced. She kept bringing up her older daughter. She’ll be like a little mum!
NO.
NO NO NO NO.
NO.
Straight women, don’t do this shit. It’s gross. Don’t infantilize your husbands and then expect your daughters to pick up the slack. So fucking gross. So. So. GROSS.
The fact that so many adults think a six year old girl is more capable of learning and performing basic domestic tasks than a grown-ass man says it all, really.

Jasmine: Oh Jafar, your beard is so...twisted!
Me: AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
but can we take a minute to just appreciate how well Missy is written?
because obviously Michelle’s portrayal is utterly priceless, but it is still the actual script that really solidifies her as a character, because she is still so completely the Master
yes, she’s hilarious and bonkers and wonderful, and in my opinion, the most lovable Master yet, but it’s still made very clear that you’re not supposed to love her because she’s awful and she’d definitely kill anyone who isn’t the Doctor without hesitation
she’s dangerous because she pulls you in with her lunatic charm and then she turns around and does exactly what you knew you needed to expect of her the whole time - murderous backstabbing betrayal (which you can bet she had planned from the moment she put Clara in the Dalek casing), that’s just how she is, especially after she’s just been sidelined by the Doctor given that she’s an attention seeker at heart
because the worst thing you could do to the Master is ignore them, and that really comes through in this episode, so just well done to Moffat and Michelle for completely nailing her character
FIREBRINGER UPDATE:
“We’ve upped the stakes! If you get us funded before Sunday, we’ll release an audio recording of A VERY POTTER CHRISTMAS as well as the script! That means you could get your hands on TWO unreleased StarKid shows if you include Starship Requiem! I think we can do it, and I hope we do, too! AVPX-MAS is a very funny addition to the Very Potter universe. So let’s hit that $88k mark! Also, THANKS FOR GETTING US TO 1600 BACKERS!!! Just last night we had only a little over 1500. 100 backers in one day is YUGE! We’re getting very excited for the summer when we look at how well this is doing :) Let’s bring it home!
Sincerely,Team StarKid”

I’m just sat here crying over videos of people being given puppies instead
hormones and 20 years of wanting a dog are a dangerous combination
