It hasn't stopped raining since Saturday and pining Johnlock graphics are of course very convenient right now, because sad and rain is like pizza and cheese, right? Anyway, to add to the johnlock mood (sad, hopeful, silly love) I'm doing a listening marathon of my friend monwatson amazing Johnlock fanmixes. You should go and listen to them.

To be fair I don’t think he honestly understands fandom at all. He only sees what he’s exposed to, he’s never chosen to educate himself as to the true nature and heart of fandom. Few actors have the time or desire to do so.

Well, in my opinion, if he doesn't understand the fandom, he shouldn't be saying such things. While, yes, a part of the fandom (adolescent sexuality-seeking, woman-eliminating people) meets his views (I was one of those people once), it isn't the entirety of the fandom. Especially given the audience he's speaking to: Out - a magazine that caters to homosexual males. 

I understand his (probable and highly likely) frustration with what he sees in the fandom: people mocking his (and Martin's) acting talents, along with the whole production in general, by over-sexualizing Sherlock and John's relationship. I get it. But to toss it off (intention intended) as insignificant or something to be looked down as "Oh, you know how kids are" is not respectful. 

Looking over this argument, I can see why he could be making this point, in this particular magazine - a sexual relationship between two men should not be something taken lightly - should not be perpetuated to satisfy the lust of anyone, naive adolescent or educated adult. That is disrespectful and degrading. 

Then again, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that the two (Sherlock and John) were lovers/homosexuals in the stories, and people over 100 years ago thought so too. So it isn't just pre-teens coming up with this now, in this context. Surely he knows that much. I mean, he's an educated man. He just doesn't understand that not everyone is about just the sexualization of the pair, that there is a large majority of the fandom that loves their relationship and the love the two men share: philos and agape love, as well. 

But he doesn't know enough about the fandom to understand those concepts. 

So I guess I've just rounded the argument back to what you said: therefore I agree with you. However, I think he could have handled the question/situation with the kind of class we expect and know of him. He knows (and even encourages) the need to educate yourself before you speak. And he didn't do that - that's why I don't like it.

Ben just said more stupid stuff about johnlock fans all being lustful teenagers who are putting Sherlock with John to get rid of any female competition. And he didn’t say anything about lustful cockmonsters, that was the journalist.

Oh Benedict... *sigh*

You are awesome and amazing, and a wonderful person. So don't listen to a single word that stupid anon was saying. You are a sweetheart and I adore you. HUGS xoxo

Kim!!!!  Thank you so much for your always nice words darling, ily ♥

Here's a promt. John and Sherlock are teens who rake leaves for extra money. Somehow they both get scheduled to rake the same yard (probably Mrs. Hudson couldn't remember she had already scheduled someone to do it, or is secretly trying to play matchmaker). They both get there, argue & bicker over who's going to rake the leaves. They decide on a competition to see who can rake the most. Make two huge piles, argue over their sizes and then end up throwing them at each other and snogging.

Marry me?

I was tagged by hobbitbilbo (sorry Elsie I'm so late!)

Tag game: give us five random things about yourself & pass it on to your followers.

1. I like to put on wool socks to bed and then remove them one by one (with the other foot) before I fall asleep, and then rest my bare feet on top of the discarded socks which stay inside the covers. IT'S WEIRD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. IM SORRY. UGH.

2. I'm afraid of turning on the central heating on my house. One day I tried to turn it on and a flame came out of there with an explosion sound even! I almost got burned! So I turned it off as quickly as possible and did it again because I thought i fucked it up or something and then again! An explosion and the flame was even larger! So now i'm scared. 

3. I'm always thinking of ways of escaping of new places I go to. Like if I go to some bar I think oh how would I escape from here? Or someone's home? Or just a public bathroom. Yeah that kind of thing.

4. I love analogue photography. I used to have a Konica from the 60s or 70s that belonged to my mum and dad but someone stole it and now I have an old Canon A1 which is also from like the 60s I think and an Holga. I know how to develop my own pictures too and I won an award once for one of them. Being inside a lab is fantastic.

5. I don't wear make up daily only when I go out at night or something and I was told by friends and strangers (even one that works on tv) that I have very good taste to combine colours and stuff to do the make up thing haha but like how can people put on make up in the morning I hardly wake up with enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair a bit. 

Anyway, I'm sorry I'm so boring (this is 6) haha.
