WIP Ask Game
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips (please repost, don’t reblog). This isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? Any unfinished project counts!
Thank you @helloliriels for tagging me… My WIPs, let’s bring them out to the light. In order of posting probability, and “working” titles.

Tagging, @elwinglyre , @the-reading-lemon , @cumbercurlygirl , @kameodouglas , @sherlock-gnomes , @shelleysprometheus , @silentauroriamthereal , @fellshish , any fan that wants to share their WIPs!
Oh, I got tagged, so I have to do this! Lol. Ironically, someone literally just sent me an ask about this fic. I have a hard-and-fast rule about only working on one thing at a time, so what I'm working on right now is a sequel to Isosceles called Trapezoid, because obviously the sequel had to have a stupid shape name to match the original! :D There is significance to which shape I chose, though...
Hello, I saw you were writing a sequel to Isosceles, and I was wondering if you felt comfortable sharing something about the plot if there is one, or if it's more a slice of life kind of thing, etc. I know you're taking your time, so no pressure, I'm just curious and really looking forward to it!
Hey! I don't mind sharing at all! It's set about nine months after Corey's time in London and starts with him inviting Sherlock and John (together, obvs) to come visit him in LA, officially to consult on British crime laws for a film he's producing, but really to get their help on vetting a co-star he has a thing for and maybe also figure out if it's worth a big, public coming-out for, etc. Also it gets... spicy. And that's all I'll say about the spicy bit, haha! It's all set in LA, at Corey's place, more or less. Another of his superhero franchise movies is about to come out, so he's hosting a big premiere party and such. :)
Eeeee! My story Sine Nomine just attained its first 10,000 hits!!! This is so exciting! This is one of those stories that I wrote at a time when I was going through a lot of things and worked some of it out through this specific story, so it’s one that means more to me than some.
This is my main pandemic story, frankly. During the first phase of Covid, I found myself very suddenly working from home with under 24 hours’ warning. My workplace closed for 2 weeks initially, then they added 2 more weeks, then an additional month, and then another month after that. By the time we re-opened, Covid was still on, George Floyd had been murdered, the BLM movement had taken off enormously, and my workplace went through an enormous, very public scandal around racism and homophobia. During those three months, I was told to find myself something to do to justify still getting paid. I spent it on research, which is adjacent to my job, but not exactly my job. I researched Syria, a topic I already had close to my heart for a lot of reasons (the main one is that I spent a chunk of time there back in 2000) and had wanted to learn more about their attempt at an Arab Spring revolution and the refugee crisis that came out of it. It was grim research, but has stayed very close to my heart and I’m now my workplace’s resident expert on Syria, have made connections with the local Syrian refugee community, and continue giving presentations on what’s happened there in the last 11-12 years now through the illegal revolutionary art that Syrians have made about all of it.
Sine Nomine is set, officially, in an unnamed village in Serbia. The vibe is meant to resonate more with the Srebrenica Genocide in Bosnia than anything in the Middle East, but the nameless ghost town I created in this story is, for me, Syria.
Beyond that, this story was meant to ask the question of why Mycroft didn’t do something when he saw the footage of John beating Sherlock to a bloody pulp in the morgue that day. It opens with him rewatching the footage for the umpteenth time and revisiting his original question about John: Will he be the making of my brother? Or make him worse than ever? He’s basically made his decision, and decides to give John one last chance: a test.
It’s truly a chiaroscuro story, with the scuro parts being pretty grim, but then the chiaro comes through, I promise! If you’ve read this one, you have my heartfelt thanks. If you haven’t and you decide to give it a try, I thank you in advance! <333333333333333333

So I honestly can’t believe I’ve never seen anyone talking about the art direction of this scene. If I’m repeating something, Ah,well. But I’ve honestly never seen it pointed out that this is the very first time we see Mary, and there are three important things here:
Mary reaches for John’s hand. John takes it, of course—he is used to being offered comfort for his loss, by now—but he is not reaching out to her for comfort in his sadness. She is inserting herself into his grief. Reflexively, he lets her.
We only see the back of her. It’s unusual to introduce a major protagonist any other way than by showing their face pretty much immediately. A major antagonist, however…a baddie…well, they often are introduced in a cloud of cigarette smoke, from a distance, in the shadows, as a mysterious voice on a phone, or in some other way that doesn’t tell us right away who they are. Our first glimpse of Mary gives us only the most vague information about her. Obviously a woman, obviously someone John is close to, as he holds her hand. Other than that…who is she? We don’t know.
Finally, it’s no mistake she is wearing a long, grey coat which flares slightly from the waist, and a blue scarf. But they are paler shades of those colours than Sherlock’s coat and scarf were, because Mary is but a pale imitation of the person we are used to seeing standing beside John Watson (even once, when they were handcuffed together, holding John Watson’s hand in a manner similar to what we see here). Her coat and scarf look cheap, “less than,” and her denim jeans are “less” than Sherlock Holmes’s designer trousers. Her dark hat is a visual echo of Sherlock’s dark hair. This whole shot is set up not only to remind us that Sherlock used to stand here at John Watson’s side, but also that This is some lesser, fake, replacement-Sherlock standing at John Watson’s side, and whether consciously or unconsciously, John has chosen a pale imitation indeed.
This
is how
the show
introduces
literally
every
single
villain
and antagonist
I mean, it doesn’t take a huge analysis to prove that the person who shot the title character is a villain, but that said, this is a brilliant piece of analysis!
Nine favourite characters

Wow I thought Tumblr had gotten rid of all the p*rn
Those are all fruits. Two fruit salads right here.
This outfit SAYS SO MANY things to ME 🥹
I enjoy this
@jobooksncoffee, @bakingsherlycakes, @annecumberbatch, @totallysilvergirl (not Sherlock, I KNOW, but I’m legally obligated to tag you in these things!), what say you? Also I’m pretttttty sure I forgot to tag one of you usual suspects. (I’m so sorry!)
No thoughts…except dirty ones.
Dirty thoughts? About this man? @totallysilvergirl , @annecumberbatch , @jolieblack , @silentauroriamthereal We don’t have dirty thoughts — do we? 😉
Um… maybe 😬😆
how to tell you're living in a dystopia: working your contracted hours and meeting your job description is considered "quitting"
The brainwashing is ongoing, insidious and persistent. In my twenty three years of work in Canada ONE boss did not expect free overtime. Everyone else, be it private small company or a big corporation, expected it all year long and expressed outrage when it was not happening - even when there was NO NEED for it. I was explicitly asked “why your team leaves at 4”, when the boss knew very well that the volume of work at the time was very low.
It was not happening when I worked in contract; I worked an hour more, billed you for one hour more 🤷🏼 😁
Stealing people’s time and inflicting the stress on employees is an integral part of North American so-called “work ethics”. 😡
Ugh this.
Very much this! Someone just read through all of Against the Rest of the World and commented on every single chapter as they read - a fic I wrote nine years ago and which still means a lot to me. Made my whole week!! I love people who read my stuff and comment on it. My current one is blazing ahead, btw! It’s over 6,200 words now!
I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”
“They are STUPIDLY competent at EVERYTHING except each other.”
“You thought this hair was naturally curly?”
Classic Barachiki crack! I live!!
