crop top that says “the cleveland street scandal of july 1889 arrested men from a male brothel for homosexual activities” with a varsity jacket that says “sir arthur conan doyle pitched the sign of the four to dinner attendants in august 1889 which notably included oscar wilde” with matching booty shorts that say ““The division seems rather unfair,” I remarked. “You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?” / “For me,” said Sherlock Holmes, “there still remains the cocaine-bottle.” And he stretched his long white hand up for it.”

lesbians get to be mean and annoying when they’re good at their job, that’s the rule

one of the funniest fandom characterizations in bbc sherlock is that john is a vegetarian because martin freeman is a vegetarian and those are the only type of meals he would eat on screen. as if dr john watson doesn’t know how to HANDLE his MEAT

john watson in bbc sherlock is the kind of character that you can tell in the shower he always hesitates for a couple seconds before cleaning his ass. like of course he cleans it but he has to silently assure himself he’s not gay beforehand. and then he probably does so a bit too thoroughly and for a bit too long

i know it’s been talked about ad nauseum but there’s just something so poignant in pluribus that emphasizes the power of human irrationality and imperfection as a mode of connection and it’s intentionally paralleling the ai hellscape we’re currently in. like, there is a LITERAL sequence of code that every infected human adheres to the strict logic of, and it personalizes its algorithm to the remaining humans by learning from all the input within the hivemind. here, carol, we know you’d love a tour of guggenheim because it was on you and your dead wife’s bucket list. here, carol, we know you like this pepper bacon you last had in 1998 because you still talk about it. here, carol, here’s a theragun your dead wife bought you, this is really going to make you happy because you enjoyed it so much at the atlanta airport. this algorithm built around a seemingly peaceful utopia works easily on the humans with loved ones remaining and absorbed, as to believe the lie allows a rejection of the grief of losing them. it’s far simpler to follow the path of least resistance, the least struggle. we are seeing this in real time even now. a conglomerate logic model that can in detail describe the history of a brand of vodka and the etymology of its name but could never paint amateur flowers on a makeshift grave without being expressly commanded to first. because there are no graves in this new world, not when humans pose a source of protein. what sense would that make?

i’m thrilled to be witnessing the byler endgamers as someone who survived bbc sherlock’s finale back in 2017. my entire dash is now byler nation, intentionally so. it brings me joy like no other to witness. the essays over a single romantically-coded shot, the collective headcanons that have become canonized in your heads by popularity alone, the interview clipping, the chronic fandom infighting, the constant and unsuppressable hope you all have that grows stronger by the day… tell me, do you guys have a softly softly masterdoc? do you have a rebekah tjlc explained youtube channel? do you have a russian dub finale leak yet? god forbid, will you have an apple tree yard in this streaming world? no matter what happens, i’m rooting for you guys because you are me and i finally want a win.
