hey steph, I'm looking for a fic that I remember nothing of except that John didn't want to be outed but Sherlock was in court or smth and he said smth like "I was distracted" and then he was asked why and said smth like "I was distracted by my boyfriend John Watson" or "I was having sex with my flatmate John Watson" or something like that? and then I think that there was a flashback explaining how they got there??

HI NONNY OMG I ACTUALLY MIGHT KNOW THIS ONE IT’S A CHRISTMAS IN JULY MIRACLE!!!!

The Thin Line by Odamaki (M, 10,809 w., 1 Ch. || Virgin Sherlock, Awkwardness, Confessions, First Times, Anal, Idiots in Love, Hand Jobs, Gentle Kissing) – John swallows. Keeps his eyes on Sherlock. Begs him not to ruin him.Sherlock leans forward over the witness box ever-so slightly, “I was distracted,” he informs the court, “by my partner, John Watson.”

Let me know if it’s not (but not really because I’m reeling that I was actually helpful this time XD) and I’ll put the callout for it. :)

hair epiphany

Somewhere, in London, there is a man or a woman who gets to cut the Holy Curls of Sherlockdom. Who is this person? How were they chosen? I NEED FIC OF THIS. How is it even possible that there is no fic of this? We’ve covered every other aspect of the minutiae of their lives, where is the art of hairdressing??? 

uhm. yeah. i need to know too. @pennypaperbrain @sincerely-chaos

This sounds important. The closest real thing I know to Sherlock’s Curls is the Ponderhair, and it is cut by one of his friends (who happens to be a pro hairdresser with a set-up at home). I don’t see Sherlock going for that though.

*gulp*

This fic. I’ve wished for it many times. I want this fic. I want all the fics that explains Sherlock’s relationship and care for his transport and aesthetics and hair and–

I know one fic where John cuts Sherlock’s hair, but no fic about Sherlock’s usual routines… Need. It.

This would be a brilliant fic! And I’d love to read a fic in which Sherlock cuts John’s hair…that would be awesome.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL - WE HAVE A PROMPT, FOLKS.

Give me all the hair fic.

If someone decides to write this and has questions about curly hair, I’d be happy to help. My hair is the same curl type as Ben/Sherlock (there are different classifications for curls) and I’ve got my hair care regiment down to a science (his is shorter than mine, but the same physics and texture and all that).

In short - I have a special hair stylist who cuts my hair DRY, individually curl by curl (it’s called a DevaCut). I condition like hell in the shower, and lots of leave in conditioner after. AIR DRY, DO NOT BLOW DRY. And once it’s dry, you can’t comb/brush it out again without resetting with water.

Also if you’re looking to add angst to this, I had a childhood of teasing about my “Afro” and the bush on my head (my parents were clueless)

Ok, I couldn’t stop thinking about this, so… ficlet in progress 😆

Also, I think #curlock might be my favorite tag ever.

OMG. i never saw the origin of @88thparallel‘s fabulous #curlock fic. But here it is, preserved in the depths of tumblr history! and there’s even MORE delicious curlocky goodness here! yassssss. 

All the way through this, I’m going “…but there’s Curlock, there’s Curlock, THERE’S CURLOCK!!!!

And then I got to the end! LOL

(btw, there’s also Curlock podfic!)

Oh who will find me?

[Mostly a smooshed-down version of some key points from this older post.]

🎵 And under we go… 🎵

If everything after the explosion in The Final Problem wasn’t real, and Eurus isn’t really Sherlock’s sister, that means her song couldn’t actually have been about what the episode suggested. No sister = no hidden message about wanting her brother’s attention.

🎵 My soul seek the shade of my willow’s bloom… 🎵

The song existed before the explosion happened, though, which suggests it’s still something. But what?

Was this weird? John was sitting on his bed, late at night, rubbing his hands over another man’s body. (Massage)

I love me some John accidentally gets turned on, oh wait Sherlock is keen too, canon based fics!

Well done 👍!

Beautiful writing and beautiful read.

Anyways, this is the first rec list of hopefully many, feel free to send me asks for fics/lists and I will put them together as quickly as my little hands possibly can. I dedicate this first list to @srebrnafh for her unending kindness, support, and overall general awesomeness, you are the greatest! And, by the way, I found the fic you were looking for!!! It’s the very first one on this list, I’m really glad I was able to find it.

You can see my search results here in case none of these are to your liking. If you would like to be tagged in future lists just let me know and if you want to find my lists search for the tag #cc rec list.

Lestrade is worried about Sherlock. He hasn’t seen the man in a week. What else is a man to do but break into the man’s house under the pretence of a drugs bust. But who is the man that almost shoots one of his officers and why is he in Sherlock’s flat?

Sherlock’s been acting strangely, and Lestrade isn’t sure why. One day he finds a shirtless soldier in Sherlock’s flat and things start to make a lot more sense.

Sherlock has not been seen or heard from for more than a week. Lestrade decides to begin his search for the man at 221B Baker Street. When Scotland Yard’s finest arrive at the flat, what (or rather who) they find is certain to surprise them.

Sherlock’s Who? By freakypet

John has been away for Sherlock’s entire career and suddenly returns to London unexpectedly from Afghanistan. Injured and tired and in pain, all he wants is to surprise Sherlock and kiss his husband. His search to find and surprise his wayward partner takes him across London and meets him up with those in Sherlock’s world he has only heard about until now.

A quickly written story that was meant to be my version of “Everyone Meet Sherlock’s Secret Husband - Ha Ha In Your face” - but I got this instead.

Greg goes to 221B to check up on Sherlock after a strange phone call pulls him away from an important case, and is stunned to find himself in front of a gun brandishing soldier with a sleeping Sherlock on his chest.

John Watson is a doctor, a war hero, a husband, and the only one in the world who can soften Sherlock’s heart.

Words: 5k Rating: Teen

Greg never believed the rumors that Sherlock and John were shagging, not really. Sure, it was fun to tease and taunt his friends, but he knew their relationship was solely platonic. He had never seen any action to suggest more than that, so he continued to hold by that belief until proven otherwise. The last thing he expects is to inconveniently interrupt various impromptu make-out sessions between the pair, but is that really what’s happening? Neither Sherlock nor John ever say anything about it, and they seem thoroughly confused when he brings the topic up.

Is Greg Lestrade going crazy?

Are those two idiots setting him up?

Or does he just ship Johnlock harder than anyone thought?

Outed by a Drugs Bust by Inactive Account (sassybleu)

Their relationship status didn’t leave the confinement of their flat, so when they got lazy days like this; Sherlock without a case, and John without work, they took full advantage of it.

Sherlock and John are together-but no one else knows that. The damage is done when Lestrade and his crew break in on a drugs bust.

Looking back, there were a few things that should’ve tipped Greg off long before that night at the pub. A few things Sherlock left fairly obvious, that on reflection, made Greg question how he’d gotten his job in the first place.

When Greg first meets John Watson, he mentally wishes Sherlock the best. Lord knows that man needs someone who can keep up with him. When John keeps coming back, Greg is impressed. When they seem perfect for each other for each other, but neither of the blind idiots see it, well. Then Greg is less so.

aka 5 times Greg saw John was perfect for Sherlock but didn’t say anything and one time he did.

Oh my god. It was a test.

Holy f… I thought John was just smirking to himself about the corrupt nature of government. But this is just proof; Mycroft really is smarter than Sherlock. The warehouse wasn’t just a babysitting interview and salary negotiation, even if Sherlock thought it was. it was a damned test, and John passed. He’s too morally driven to sell Sherlock out, and therefore not inclined to stab Mycroft in the back. Four for you, Mycroft. You go, Mycroft.

(Also, CONTINUITY, Mr. Gatiss. You’re doing it right.)

Wait… did folks think that Mycroft was actually going to pay John to spy on Sherlock?

He’s CIA-British-Government-Big-Honcho. He can control London’s CCTV network and its phone boxes. He’d need a former Army grunt (untrained in intelligence) hanging around the flat and slipping him spy messages? Unlikely. 

Of course it was a test. If John hadn’t passed it, ASiP would have ended with our good doctor in the boot of a black sedan somewhere out on the moors. Or at the bottom of the Thames.

Who else was probably tested by Mycroft and passed?

Lestrade

MYCROFT: Interesting, that soldier fellow. He could be the making of my brother. Or make him worse than ever. 
LESTRADE: Sherlock Holmes is a great man, and I think one day—if we’re very very lucky—he might even be a good one. 

Why, exactly, is Greg Lestrade so invested in Sherlock’s sobriety, from the very beginning? And why do he and Mycroft go about using the same methods to monitor it, whenever John Watson’s not in the picture?

LESTRADE: It’s a drugs bust. […] They’re not strictly speaking on the drugs squad, but they’re very keen.
MYCROFT: Some members of your little fan-club. Do be polite. They’re entirely trustworthy, and even willing to search through the toxic waste dump that you are pleased to call a flat.

As Detective Inspector, wouldn’t Lestrade have an actual drug squad at his disposal? Why the below-the-table machinations, if not to protect Sherlock and avoid any actual drug charges?

Lestrade operates as Sherlock’s patron saint and advocate in the Yard. The only time things seem to get cocked up is when a higher-ranking officer like the Chief Superintendent in Reichenbach gets involved. A less-involved officer—someone untested by Mycroft.

We’ve got a direct allusion to the depth of Mycroft and Lestrade’s involvement in Baskerville:

SHERLOCK: I’m waiting for an explanation, Inspector. Why are you here?
LESTRADE: I’ve told you: I’m on holiday.
SHERLOCK: You’re brown as a nut. You’re clearly just back from your ‘holidays’.
LESTRADE (trying to look nonchalant): Yeah, well I fancied another one.
SHERLOCK: Oh, this is Mycroft, isn’t it?
LESTRADE: No, look … 

This is a man willing to leave Tahiti (or wherever) at a moment’s notice because Sherlock needs looking-after. Mycroft can trust him, and probably has done for a longer time than we think. 

(Lestrade and Mycroft also both refer to Sherlock as a child, much to his chagrin.)

Mycroft’s overarching concern seems to be Sherlock’s safety and sobriety, and Lestrade’s actions mirror this. We haven’t been told how Sherlock and Lestrade first started working together—all we know is that it started some five years before the events of ASiP, when Sherlock was was in his mid-twenties.

Twenty-something junkie geniuses get bored. Very bored. They need something as an alternative to getting high. I wonder which came first for Lestrade—Mycroft’s test, or Sherlock’s first case for the Yard.

In any case, I think he and John both passed big brother’s test with flying colors.

Hi! Could you explain what a special interest is? Is it something people experience differently? I’ve seen varying definitions and i’m confused.

I’d say a special interest is a topic you really enjoy and it can almost feel like the feeling of falling in love, to the point where it’s on your mind almost all the time. Some autistic people may start to become extremely knowledgable in their special interests, but not at all, and it is not a defining factor over whether or not something is a special interest

Top 12 alternatives to Photoshop for digital painters and illustrators

Hello there!

Yes, we haven’t done this in a while… but our inbox and chat are swamped with questions on the subject, so this article was very much needed.

it’s a simple list of art apps, but we know you love those :D

Enough with the intro, here it is, a list of twelve art apps you may want to check out.

ArtRage is an art program for beginners and professionals. With its minimal interface, it’s easy to keep the essential tools at hand without stealing space from the canvas. Panels can be moved around and tools can be customised. We all know how important it is for digital artists to be able to modify brushes!

  • Pros: easy to use; friendly interface; essential tools from professional apps available; available for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac
  • Cons: it may get sluggish with big files and when using big brushes, but performances also depend on the running machine; limited selection of editing tools if compared to Photoshop - ArtRage is more of a painting program rather than an editing one.
  • Paid

ArtRage Lite is a different version at a cheaper price, mostly for beginners, but also for professionals if they need the essential.

Now free, Sketchbook is the famous app created by Autodesk for various platforms.

  • Pros: clean, friendly interface; easy to use; professional features
  • Cons: lack of official tutorials; doesn’t offer as many tools as other apps (it’s down to the essential); paid subscription in Adobe style for the pro version
  • Free and paid

Black Ink is a powerful little program few actually know, but there’s a reason: this isn’t your classing drawing app. What’s cool about it is the vast selection of special brushes, completely non-realistic, and definitely able to boost your creativity.

  • Pros: vast selection of customisable brushes; excellent performance
  • Cons: not very easy to use; non-intuitive interface
  • Paid

This is probably the most complete software for painting, drawing and animation. It was originally known as Manga Studio, but with its updates and addition of features, it became Clip Studio Paint

This doesn’t say much about the quality of the features themselves considering the affordable price (if you haven’t used the app yet, that is), but among graphic apps, this one is the top seller.

  • Pros: professional features for illustrators; layout tools for comic/manga artists; 3D reference models; customisable tools; various sales with special prices
  • Cons: the interface may not appear intuitive at first; the program may lag (again, performance also depends on the running machine)
  • Paid

GIMP is the famous open source image editor originally created for GNU/Linux and available for OS X and Windows. 

Best known as Photoshop’s main competition, this is a manipulation program for both beginners and professionals who love design.

It offers many professional features, making the program a powerful tool.

  • Pros: professional editing tools; supports different formats; supported by different platforms; active community
  • Cons: in spite of the simple design, many options are hidden and it takes time to discover all the features; slow startup
  • Free

Krita is an open source painting app created by artists for artists.

  • Pros: easy to use; intuitive interface; great brush workflow; brush stabilizer; customisable brushes; general good performance; very enthusiastic, although small, community
  • Cons: it may be slow or even crash depending on the running computer and the app’s version; very few editing tools compared to Photoshop
  • Free

MediBang Paint is a free and light app for drawing and painting, perfect for manga and comic creation.

  • Pros: vast selection of brushes; cloud sharing; friendly, minimal interface (non-desktop app); also available for iPad, iPhone and Android
  • Cons: requires an account to use all features; non-intuitive interface (desktop version)
  • Free

Mischief is a sketching app with essential tools, useful for brainstorming and ideation.

  • Pros: infinite drawing canvas; friendly interface; easy to use; cheap pro version
  • Cons: few updates; offers only the essential (but that’s the point); no editing/adjustment tools
  • Free and paid

Corel’s jewel, Painter is the most famous software that offers digital tools able to give a traditional feel to brushes and canvas.

  • Pros: different selection of media; many professional features; PS-friendly
  • Cons: certain brushes may work slow; not easy to use at first; the software may crash (this is the most common report); pricey
  • Paid

Paintstorm Studio is a professional software for digital painting. It’s focused on the use of brushes and blending, which makes the software a little gem in the digital painting field.

  • Pros: good brush workflow; brush stabilizer; “close gap” feature; customisable interface and tools; professional features; affordable price
  • Cons: non-intuitive interface (desktop version)
  • Paid

Procreate is the powerful drawing app for iOS. 

With the very sensitive Apple Pencil, Procreate is so easy to use that many artists chose the iPad over the most famous graphic tablets.

  • Pros: friendly interface; makes it easy to organise files; excellent brush workflow; customisable brushes; video recording; affordable price
  • Cons: hidden features; only available for iPad
  • Paid

SAI is a simple app for artists who want to focus on painting and drawing. 

It’s well known for its good pressure support and its essential tools for manga artists, but SAI can be used by any kind of artist who wants to paint.

  • Pros: easy to use; friendly interface; light software; customisable brushes; tons of (non-official) tutorials
  • Cons: limited selection of tools, even basic ones; limited canvas sizes and uses; it might crash from intensive work, especially with big canvases and brushes; supports only RGB colour mode; lack of support
  • Paid

We hope you’ll find this list useful. 

If you think there are other apps that should have made this list, don’t hesitate to let us know!

Thank you and peace out,

G&M

MY JOHNLOCK FIC REC LIST

  1. Absolutely all of these fics have happy endings. I can’t read hardcore angst or I’ll die. I mean it. 
  2. If there are any other relationships in these fics then it’ll be minor but Johnlock is def front and center and endgame for all of them.
  3. I’ve avoided reccing the really famous Johnlock fics. I love them but all these fics need more love cause they’re all so amazing! 
  4. 99% of these fics are bottomlock but since I don’t care who bottoms or who tops (as long as they fuck and as long as they are in character) (that means no DFP Sherlock) (or Baby Princess John) so if you have a problem with toplock in general, tread carefully.

Soup-serving robot fail. [video]

Simone Giertz, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Shitty Robots.” She intentionally engineers terrible robots just for fun.

everything this woman makes is goddamn fantastic

So I went to her YouTube channel cuz I was like “yo I want some more funny robot videos.

Turns out:

Her latest update on twitter just came out less than a day ago:

Hopefully, her recovery goes well.

On a lighter note, when she discussed the possibility of going blind in one eye as a result of the surgery she got a comment:

She’s recovering wonderfully and she is not blind and doesnt have any complications! And she rented a full workshop, she used to work literally on the other side of her tiny basically one or two room house but now she has a whole workshop! I’m so happy for her
