do you guys remember that one text post about pyjamas the terror being an anagram for harry james potter? 

so initially I was going to draw only harry wearing a pyjamas the terror t-shirt, but then I googled online anagram generator and had so much fun with it that ended up drawing the entire gang

ABRAHAN LINCOLM was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War—its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis.[2][3] In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy.

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever encountered

I’ve been re-watching “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” (aka the Granada Series) and I just have to draw these beautiful boys. <3

Anyway Singing In The Rain is gay and poly as hell and I have the #receipts

Featured: Cosmo Brown Platonically Totally Not Proposing To His Best Friend

Don: “Im sad about that girl I saw the other night :((”

Cosmo: time for me to expend an unprecedented amount of energy to get him to smile!!

these two goobers have been looking all over town to find Kathy but I’m still emotional about how overjoyed they are to finally see her again. They’ve barely met her but they already love her a lot!!!!

Kathy and Don are about to go off and be het - I dont need to argue that the two of them are in love - but for now look at these three MUGS.

HERE IT COMES!! the most important moment in poly heaven!!!

THE REST UNDER A CUT BECAUSE IM NOT THAT MEAN

Oh hey you three! What are you up to? Just eating ham and cheese sandwiches and drinking milk?

(quick aside where Cosmo and kathy are already close enough to eachother that they have whole conversations about cheering Don up without saying a word)

Wait a second, Cosmo, what did you just say?

Its….. 1:30 in the morning?? You guys have been chilling out at Don’s house just…. chatting…. getting a post-midnight snack…. until one in the morning?? what a perfect time to SING A SONG ABOUT HOW IN LOVE YOU ALL ARE

it sure is guys

look at how they both have the exact same dancing relationship with Kathy this whole song even tho only two of them are in a romantic relationship

WHAT A GREAT DAY TO BE POLY AND FROLIC AROUND WITH YOUR TRIAD

They’re literally just goofing around and having fun?? They’re having the time of their lives??

okay return to your regularly scheduled blogging while I cry

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS

I drew a lot of bookplates for the Year Two Kickstarter.

- Jack and Parse as kids in the Q - Lardo and George talking about their dumb boys - There’s a huge S in the Samwell hockey locker room for this purpose - Parse, at home, probably on insta - Bow before Lardo, Flipper of Cups, Ruler of Bros - A swim (◡‿◡)

The death of meta

I would have to say that the Sherlock fandom is more than half of why I fell in love with this show. The clever, well-informed critiques that people had of this show blew me away. People well versed in story-telling, film making, and queer history came forward and wrote beautiful, stunning things about BBC Sherlock, its characters, its gorgeous lush images, and its over-arching storylines running through the text and subtext. People brought both serious analyses, and funny, cracky ideas about the show and where things were headed to the table to enjoy and build on. I reveled in the fertile ground of the Sherlock fandom’s intellect and imagination. Post s3 was a heady time in the fandom.

And then series 4 happened.

I know many have continued to write well-thought meta pieces on s4, on symbolism, and explanations for time lines, and possible dream sequences. I applaud those who still want to play that game. I had to let it go.

At the end of s3, Mary had been set up to be an ultimate baddie, someone in cahoots with Moriarty  orchestrating John and Sherlock’s downfall. Then suddenly with the opening s4, the trio are back together solving crimes with the baby in some goofy parody of a sitcom. Mary and Sherlock trade jibes while putting John down, and oh right, they got a dog to walk around and   … . clue for looks? I’m not quite sure.

The series delved more and more into the absurd as it went along. There were no consequences for anything, red herrings, and dropped set-ups flew in thick and fast as hail on a cold spring morning. What was in that letter John gave to Sherlock? Why did we see multiple conflicting scenes of John checking his texts in bed? What was the whole point of that memory-wiping drug they made so much of? Since the real Faith never came to speak to Sherlock, did it really even happen? What did really happen? Then the story took a huge jump into an alternate reality where Sherlock’s mad sister has X-men powers of brain-washing, and can pop in and out of prison and set-up whatever outlandish scenarios suit her fancy. Oh, and John left his feet in the well to be rescued. I just.

Nothing that came before series 4 seemed to have any bearing on what we saw in January. It’s as if we started watching a completely different show that just happened to have the same actors we knew playing in it. No longer did a cohesive narrative seem to run through the show. Anything we knew of the characters and their history and personalities was erased and rewritten with whatever seemed wacky and fun for the moment. I do applaud those who want to continue the game of finding connection and meaning in the Sherlock show, but I had to put all that down and walk away.  Within fandom, in the art, and fanfic, and clever writing about this show, I can find depth of feeling, integrity, interest in character study, and a rich story-telling exploration of “what might have happened next.” When I look at what the showrunners gave us for s4? All I can say is nothing means anything anymore. Flash, splash and dash are simply great barrels of fun  … and boop, it’s all fine.
