Friend: “Hey, I haven’t seen you in forever! how are you?”

me: “Fine, thanks.”

Lemony Snicket from outta nowhere: “Of course, in this case, ‘fine’ is only meant to reassure. She has never been less fine, nor was she ever fine in the first place. Here, the word ‘fine’ could be defined as ‘I am actually slowly dying on the inside, but don’t wish for anyone to worry’.

Sections of a map of Bath by Joseph Gilmore

There is a great deal of detail in this map, trees, houses and even ripples in water, though the perspective is inaccurate to what an arial view would actually look like it helps give a sense of place by showing what the architecture of the city looks like.

This year was wild af wow

Pretty sure this is the sequel to ‘we didn’t start the fire’

so guys my mom is a doctor and while we were watching the episode she said “johns a pretty bad doctor, he should have laid mary down and put her feet up so she wouldn’t bleed out”

it made me think that possibly mary’s death is part of sherlock’s recurring dream and that’s why it’s inaccurate

we know john’s a good doctor; sarah tells him he’s over-qualified for that office and he demonstrates his knowledge throughout the show. would he really forget this significant method of keeping someone alive when they’re bleeding out? especially with his own wife?

inevitably-johnlocked

Agreed. This is one of the many things niggling at me. John is a VERY GOOD doctor – Sherlock even says so in the first episode. He was able to save a nearly-dead soldier AND Sherlock, but half asses it for his wife? Yeah, this… is not correct and this is Wrong.™

so remember when we realised sherlock’s story about Mary phoning the ambulance was definitely fake because magnussen first says “kill us both” and then when Sherlock retells the story he says “kill both of us”

well when they show John and Mary in bed talking about Rosie the first time Mary says “mummy’s coming” in a sing song voice but when they show it again she says “I’m coming”

this is a dream. this is sherlock’s dream.

Ring a Ring o’ Rosie (Watson)

The fact that Sherlockology have nicknamed Rosamund Watson as Rosie (x) reminded me of an old nursery rhyme, one I knew as Ring Around The Rosies, but is also called Ring a Ring o’ Rosie/ Ring a Ring o’Rosies.

The rhyme was a game for children- we would all link arms in a circle and skip while we sang:

Ring-a-ring o’ rosie A pocket full of posies, A-tishoo! A-tishoo! We all fall down

At “all fall down” we would break the circle and drop to the floor.

Now, this nursery rhyme has a controversial interpretation, one that folklore scholars dispute, but it’s still remains a common interpretation, at least in the UK.

The rhyme is said to refer to the Great Plague or Black Death.

Peter and Iona Opie, the leading authorities on nursery rhymes, remarked:

“The invariable sneezing and falling down in modern English versions have given would-be origin finders the opportunity to say that the rhyme dates back to the Great Plague. A rosy rash, they allege, was a symptom of the plague, and posies of herbs were carried as protection and to ward off the smell of the disease. Sneezing or coughing was a final fatal symptom, and “all fall down” was exactly what happened.[19][20]”

The line Ashes, Ashes in colonial versions of the rhyme is claimed to refer variously to cremation of the bodies, the burning of victims’ houses, or blackening of their skin, and the theory has been adapted to be applied to other versions of the rhyme.[21] In its various forms, the interpretation has entered into popular culture and has been used elsewhere to make oblique reference to the plague.[22] (x)

We’ll see if any ‘rosy rashes’ appear in The Lying Detective (perhaps a symptom from Culverton’s possible drugs?), but this combined with Rosamund Watson sharing the initials of Rachel Wilson, the stillborn daughter in ASiP (x) is very ominous…
