The Universe Is Rarely So Lazy

I don’t think op would appreciate us discussing this on their post (given who they interact with and their comment) but wow is this a lot, my favorite part is when it was just “daughter” “dead” and “norbury” floating around 

This is REALLY REALLY fucky. Just… wow.

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.

What is TD-12 then?

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

Suspiciousness

Emotional isolation

Eccentric ideation

Antisocial aggression

Shamelessness

Over-theatricality

Narcissism

Over-dependence

Wariness

Obsessionality

Stubborn procrastination

Undue pessimism”

(X)

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.

BONUS FUN FACTS:

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:

I’ll tag people because I think maybe they will be interested, if you don’t, sorry D:

is exactly what the writers did? 

Parallels between The Reichenbach Fall and The Final Problem, as well as I Owe You and I Love You.

SO if anyone wants to read into things, here’s an excerpt from Ariane’s transcript of TGG - the most notable things being that they play Mars when we’re looking at Jupiter, and that the footage BECOMES JUMBLED. I’ve bolded the things that might be interesting.

In a morgue

Molly [John mirror] slaps the shit out of Sherlock

Sherlock is on drugs for a case

Is the scene in TLD Sherlock’s MP version of this?

In a morgue

John beats the crap out of Sherlock

Sherlock drugged up for a case

As John starts to hit Sherlock he yells: ‘WAKE UP” 

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

IS MAGNUSSEN’S LOOKING GLASS IN 221B?

Is it obscuring the flow of time?

And the truth?

Who’s HE? Not once did John and Lestrade mentioned Sherlock by name during the exchange in the interrogation room.

AND WTF IS THAT BEHIND JOHN?

is the same hand here:

So I saw this letter in TLD and noticed that the address on it was not 221 B Baker Street. So I looked at it.

S. Holmes

156 Montague St.

London

Okay. So I looked it up and clicked on google street view. Guess where.

That’s the street that Sherlock was imagining when imagining “““Faith Smith”““’s flat. I’d call that an Easter egg.

BUT WHY WAS HIS MAIL GOING THERE AND HOW DOES HE HAVE IT

As for Sherlock imagining Faith’s flat: Very good catch there if it proofs to be true! Isn’t this how “mind palaces” work? You basically imagine places you’ve been before - actually places you know really well.

As in… tptb are parodying fans. Probably.

Yes, you’re reading that right. We’ve got two twitter accounts here that are named after two absolute BNFs, ivyblossom and lsit. These accounts were both created this month and their first tweet was identical, so we can be reasonably certain they were created by the same people:

Go and check out these accounts. They’re both very focussed on BBC Sherlock and they keep tweeting the link to a very suspicious video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xePPOO0Y4tg

In the video description it says: “A message to BBC and Hartswood Films.” And the video then talks about what went wrong with BBC Sherlock etc, using only photos with short texts on them.

The really interesting part is this: There are only two videos on this Youtube channel, one of them made before tfp aired and the other one after, and the account is called Dale Pike. And guess what? There isn’t just one corresponding twitter account, there are two.

https://twitter.com/ibelieveinPike This is the first one. It was created in 2015, but there are only a few tweets from back then. It’s only become really active in January 2017, tweeting a lot of #Norbury stuff like you’d expect it to (and like dymm wants us to…).

That person is calling themselves Dale Pike. In canon Sherlock Holmes, however, there’s a journalist called Langdale Pike. And sure enough, there’s a twitter account under that name as well: https://twitter.com/Contact_Dale_P/

It seems likely that both accounts are supposed to belong to the same person. Look at Langdale’s tweet:

Sounds like Langdale has two twitter accounts.

I haven’t had time to look at all of these in detail (it’s 2 am), but I wanted to talk about this because they actually made parodies of fan accounts. How incredible is that??

@ivyblossom (I know you see things a bit differently wrt tfp, but obviously you need to be tagged here, if only to take a look at that parody account. I hope you don’t mind the speculation here!)

@loudest-subtext-in-tv (LoudestTubSext… What a Name.)

Dale Pike’s actually has eight fics with a total of about 50,000 words: https://archiveofourown.org/users/yesiamTHATdalepike/works BUT THEY’RE SO META AND UGH!!

I’ve only read three of them. One is a poem that’s supposedly Buffy/Labyrinth fanfic, and it’s about a well (and never mentions Buffy at all, plus the author says in the notes that “[s]ome things are best expressed in really bad poetry, squirrelled away on fan-fiction sites”). And the other two I’ve read are part of a series called Spoiling Sherlock in Real-Time. They keep breaking the fourth wall, mentioning the fandom and the authors… Idek anymore.

Then I checked the comments of one of the fics and found that IvyBosom and loudest_TubSexts_in_Television have accounts too. They’re empty, but in the comments Dale accuses Ivy of being Mark and lsit of being Steven. (There’s also an account called CumberBint99 that just really ships Sherl0lly.)

wait for it…

why? what?

Who are they?

fuck U

This haunts me: 

Mark: “Im sure there are lots of mysteries on twitter”

I’ve read some stuff, and it’s truly insane - all this fucking talk about “breaking the fourth wall” OVER AND OVER and WHAT IS THIS.
