I was always irked by the way Smart acted towards Johns mod; like, they didn’t exactly see them as their own person, just an extension to John/Martin Freeman. But, we have no ideas on what is happening in privacy, so I digress.
Edit: Even though the account is weirdly empty, I will answer this ask anyway, because I'll assume that they specifically created the account to send me asks because I had anonymous turned still off at that point. I received the ask on April 3rd, but only got arround to answer it now with all that's been going on (sorry for being so slow).
Thank you for your comment on this, I agree with you. I found her behaviour weird too and bordering on inappropriate sometimes, given that safedistancefrombeingsmart did not interact as a character, but as herself. It seemed as if she sees John as a stand in for Martin Freeman, and now that she has taken over the job of the new Sherlock the roleplay immediately implied sexual stuff, as if this is what they wanted the whole time. We indeed have no idea what has been happening in privacy, but the public roleplay with safedistancefrombeingsmart's Sherlock (artofdeductionbysholmes) has bordered on explicit. After everything that happened and their apparent desire to take over as Sherlock it seems as if she had been jealous of my Sherlock for a while, which could explain her (passive) aggressive behaviour towards Sherlock (on both her personal account safedistancefrombeingsmart and therealharrywatson) and the attempts to flirt with John. It seems that she kept mixing up in character and out of character sentiment, which can happen when you literally interact with your private account as yourself with characters. I never talked to safedistancefrombeingsmart out of character, I only ever interacted with her as Sherlock. I thought it was roleplay, and I thought the rivalry between Harry and Sherlock was funny (I wanted them to be bitchy at first to each other but then become friendly, realise they have things in common like their addiction struggles, just like it had happened in December with the New Year's Eve party that had been my idea), but seems it wasn't roleplay to her. Safedistancefrombeingsmart also mods therealharrywatson, which explains some weirder interactions there as well that people have already commented on. Especially during the time of the roleplay after Sherlock's confession when John and Sherlock had officially been in a relationship, safedistancefrombeingsmart's inappropriate flirting with John had increased, and now that seems like it could have been intended as a tongue-in-cheek mockery of me as the mod because they were already working together behind the scenes with John's mod to replace me at that time and to take over as Sherlock. And their behaviour now after the split says it all, how safedistancefrombeingsmart was ready to harass and bully me together with John's mod, who are both significantly older than I am. Her inappropriate behaviour in the roleplay (even when it was her personal account and questioning whether roleplay or not) could be disregarded and wouldn't be that bad, it could still be roleplay, if it wasn't for her behaviour in the aftermath directly bullying people personally, that is the main point.
