#mofftiss

mofftiss (the sherlock showrunners) didn't have the guts to make johnlock happen. i knew that in the lead up to the final season. but the duffers? i am COMPLETELY confident that byler will become canon. having been there on the other side, not only do i believe the duffers have the courage to do it, they clearly have so much respect for byler – and not only that, they are constantly committed to the theme they set out for the show, which is that all outcasts should be celebrated for who they are. there's no foreseeable way that byler won't be canon. take it from someone who's been here before.

Now I watched Enola Holmes 3, partly because of Sherlock Holmes and partly because of Helena Bonham Carter. And I was so disappointed. I feel like no one actually cared about this movie who was on this movie. And I don't just mean the actors. Everyone involved.

Say what you want about Mofftass but it was very clear that they cared so much about what they were doing. They were self proclaimed superfans.

There was yearning and puppy dog eyes in every scene with John.

Do you think this was intentional by Moftiss? Or was it Ben and Martin's chemistry naturally playing out?

Hey Nonny!

LOL ABSOLUTELY I noticed it, and it's why I inevitably ended up shipping Johnlock romantically, because it was so ridiculously intense. One of my theories on it was because it was written with Sherlock's POV rather than John's (which I think S1 and S2 are), and in turn shows just truly how much John has impacted Sherlock as a person, and how much he needs him after Serbia, and the complete "experience" that is the aftermath of his mistakes.

And John being John continuing to marry Mary because he was angry with Sherlock. But I digress.

And yes, I think it WAS intentional at one point, hence why Ben and Martin acted "that way". Both are incredible actors and there's no way they would have let the implications show if they didn't believe that Johnlock was endgame (I personally believe that they were told "here's the planned direction of our show, and then absolutely fell in love with it. Because after S4, both men seemed very disappointed with the end result...). But I am of the belief something either happened behind the scenes that was out of anyone's control (BBC shakeup at the time, bitter separation between Martin and Amanda) or – and this is what I lean more towards because the drastic shift in narrative in S4 was SO 180º – Mofftiss got pissed off that the fandom "figured out" their show (if I recall correctly, they prided themselves on subverting expectations, and the fandom figuring it out was just not on) and essentially took their ball and went home. And I have other gossippy / tea-type / mean girl theories I chat privately with other people about that I'm not going to state here, but that's the primary running theory I have. And that they were getting bored with the show and upset that they couldn't get Martin and Ben as easily anymore, so *shrug*. Anyway. Shitposting.

So no, I personally believe that the chemistry was off the charts in S3. Unpopular opinion but it is my favourite season of the series (not including TAB. I love TAB SO MUCH). And you're not crazy for seeing it too. I think that's why S4 is so disappointing for me, because S3 and TAB kind of were off the charts intense, and then suddenly in S4 it wasn't.

Bonjour !

Je suis actuellement en train de travailler sur un sous-titrage VOSTFR de l'Unaired Pilot de Sherlock (A Study In Pink), et je ne sais pas bien comment traduire "The Game Is On".

Si je ne m'abuse, je crois qu'en français, on l'a traduit par "C'est parti pour un tour", mais je ne suis pas complètement convaincue, je trouve que ça ne fait pas très 'catchphrase'.
