It's probably all fluffy, angsty, non- to semi-canon ships, y'know.

Be still my aching heart…

[mottlemoth]

These gifs just cripple me. 

Look how good they look as a united force. Look how Mycroft goes to speak, but then hears Greg’s voice and falls straight in line, trusting. Their horrified glances lift straight to each other, no-one else. 

This is clearly not the first time they’ve looked each other in the eye and thought, “What the hell do we do?” 

Sherlock is a mystery show, and here’s my favourite mystery of all: why, even though Mycroft Holmes and Greg Lestrade have the kind of established connection where they can now communicate without speaking, have we never been shown a single word shared between them? Why do we have plentiful confirmation that they speak often offscreen (”I don’t just do what your brother tells me”) but we’re not allowed to see it happening?

It’s because someone on the writing team ships it like he’s still fourteen - and in this essay, I will

-Good.-

It was a good day.

Had some fun, met new challenges, learned new things.

Too many things.

Things I never wanted to know,

And those I never thought I'd want to stay secret.

Am I glad of it?

With my heart, not my soul.

But there's no use hopping out,

From the bottom of this rabbit hole.

Just enough of what I needed to hear,

But too much for me to say.

I don't know what happened, but,

It was a good day...

... It was.

It was a good time.

Had a blast, met new people, lost some of them.

Too many of them.

Those I never thought I'd meet,

And those I feel like I don't deserve.

Does it hurt?

Of course, but also relieving.

I don't want to stand around and complain,

About people walking out and leaving.

It doesn't matter how or when, for me,

But what made them think of why.

I don't know what I did, but,

It was a good time...

... It was.

It was a good life.

Had some laughs, met some friends, shed some tears.

Too many tears.

Some that have thankfully been wiped dry,

While some have sadly been left all alone.

Will I ever atone?

Perhaps I could, but it's a long shot.

I'm too far gone, it may be a misfire,

But it's one of the last few chances I've got.

I'm walking above thin ice, on a tightrope,

And everybody else has the knife.

I don't know what went wrong, but,

It was a good life...

... It was.

Give my bro a gander, if you're miserable and are into poetry much like everybody else in this wasteland

The problem is you don’t really believe what you think you believe.

You say that someone with male anatomy poses a threat to women and girls. If that’s true, and you believe folk with penises are inherently dangerous, why don’t you believe this should exclude them from positions of authority or leadership? Why are you comfortable with male anatomy in the Oval Office, but not in the bathroom cubicle next to you? If you can’t trust “men” to behave reasonably in a public toilet, why are you happy to give one the nuclear codes?

You say you want to protect women and girls from being alone somewhere isolated with a man. I shared a small office with a male boss for years. He locked the door for meetings all the time. Why aren’t you campaigning against that? Why do you believe that a male co-worker poses no danger to me, but a transwoman in the next bathroom stall does?

You say it’s unfair that transwomen athletes have a biological advantage over ciswomen. Why don’t you believe we should ban Kenyan athletes from long distance running? Why is one biological advantage fair, but another sends you into a frothing rage?

You say you’re worried that if we allow people to change gender, it somehow “erases” my same sex attraction. (Firstly, when did you start caring about gay rights?) Why do you see my attraction to women as an attraction to vaginas? Is your attraction to men just an attraction to cock? Why do you believe your sexuality is about an entire person – their personality, their choices, the rich tapestry of their whole life – but mine is all about the genitals? If your male spouse lost his penis to disease or injury, and you still found him attractive, would you no longer count as straight?

You say you don’t want someone in your changing rooms who might be attracted to you. I hate to tell you this, but you’ve been changing and peeing in front of me for years. Why do you worry about sharing a changing room with a transwoman, but you’ve never thought twice about gay women? Why do you shrug when I stroll in, but you lose your mind over my trans sister?

You say that “men” are going through gender transition in order to access somewhere they can spy on you while peeing. Gender transition takes a great deal of courage and money. It’s emotionally gruelling and comes with painful costs – the loss of friendships, the loss of respect from colleagues and family, the loss of employment opportunities. If the goal is simply to hear people peeing, why not avoid those risks and become a toilet cleaner? It would be much easier. Why are you campaigning ferociously against transwomen in your bathroom but not male toilet cleaners? Why don’t you worry about their intentions?

Why do you want to believe there are good and noble reasons to demonise transfolk?

Why do you want to frame this as ‘a discussion’, rather than a vicious campaign against the basic human rights of very marginalised people?

It’s Because You’re Transphobic™

Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

I COULD NOT REBLOG THIS FAST ENOUGH

[elliemillah]

“Mycroft, I think has removed the idea of any physical intimacy even more than his brother. I have to say on a personal level if I were to have a relationship with Rupert Graves I’d be very happy. But that’s me talking! I’ve had a crush on Rupert since I was about fourteen. Who hasn’t?” - Mark Gatiss about Mystrade and his own feelings towards Rupert Graves during a Q&A session at Mumbai Film and Comic Con (x)

Brain Fart

I've always sort of noticed how Mark tends to neither confirm nor deny a question when the answer to it is supposed to be canon.

Like during the Rolling Stones' "Fan Theory Exploder" interview with him, he didn't confirm nor deny Mary's death.

What he did is that he related it to real-life elements of the plot, by explaining that they "won't do what (Sir Arthur Conan) Doyle did just because he did it."

Mark denied every other theory in the interview that wasn't canon.

So maybe when he gets a theory that is canon, he doesn't confirm it. But he does relate it to the 'out-of-fiction' elements of the show.

Like for major plot point theories, he'd relate it to Doyle's original writing.

And maybe for ships he'd relate it to...

....the cast's relationship...

...with one...

....another.

[sherlock-nanowrimo]

I do love the humor in the fanon idea that Sherlock would melt down if he found out that Greg and Mycroft were dating, and I agree that at the very least he would mimic vomiting if he saw any affection between them.  But my personal headcanon is that he ships it and has done for years.

Exhibit A:

Sherlock interferes with Greg’s love life when it is obvious to him that it’s going to crash and burn.  

-He told Greg in S2 that his wife was still cheating on him when he had hopes it was going to get better.  

-He told Greg in S4 that his date with the new forensic wasn’t going to work out.

Exhibit B:

Sherlock keeps trying to get Greg and Mycroft interacting more. You’d think he would want it less, given his jab in THOB, but no.  

-In S3 at John’s wedding we see Greg morosely drinking, obviously feeling lonely.  Sherlock calls Mycroft to try to convince him to come to the wedding.  WHY in the world would he want Mycroft there??  Sherlock is in distress over John getting married, he sees Greg is also down, he calls Mycroft to come and distract him from his own unhappiness by making Greg happy.  (of course Mycroft only deduces the first part of that, lol)

-In TAB, during the ‘modern’ part of Sherlock’s drugged out dream, he imagines the two of them side by side, working together.

-In S4, Sherlock finally straight up asks Greg to look after Mycroft, as a last ditch effort because JFC these two are dense.
