#i wish i could remember more

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hey Steph! How are you? I want to thank you for all you do keeping the fandom alive and united. I feel a lot of us come here for some guidance, at least so we can connect with others that have the answers we are looking for. What you do here is invaluable. Thank you.

That's the reason why I would like to share this with you and all the fellow fans:

https://at.tumblr.com/thou-babbling-brook/sherlock-fandom-survey/hxi9dezxvekp

I hope you can see this correctly. It's a survey about fandoms, it will be useful in a study about the vocabulary that we use and our knowledge about this spaces. This time is BBC Sherlock. I think it's a great thing that we can all do, and another place where we can share our love for this fandom and what we built together.

In virtue of this, I would like some guidance. In one part of the survey there is a section about phrases or words that we use that are specific of our fandom, and I CAN'T remember any (except maybe TJLC and Johnlock). Do we use a specific language with each other that it's unique of us? Some other code words? I can't remember.

Anyway, thank you if you read this and I hope you have a great week! ❤️

Hey Lovely *HUGS*!

First off, thank you for your kind words! I am glad you enjoy your time here and I hope I continue to make it worthwhile!

As for the link, yes! I did see that survey; I reblogged it a couple nights ago, and I hope everyone takes a few to do it! I plan on it as soon as I get a free moment myself!

Oooof, yeah there's a few I can immediately think of:

TJLC / johnlock, as you said

smoll (that was started by the Sherlock fandom)

john's red pants / red pants Monday

tea and jam (and there was something about John being a kitten? can't remember this one)

purple shirt of sex

I feel like "pillow princess" started with us, but I'm probably wrong

dark fuck prince Sherlock / dfp Sherlock (essentially where Sherlock has this weird dark, sometimes cold and/or abusive characterization that I personally don't jive with, but to each their own)

"setlock" is what we call the filming period

I feel like the sun and moon thing was started by us as well? Dunno.

bisexual lighting (while I don't think we coined it main-stream, it became a little more popular after our fandom spent a LOT of time examining it)

tinhatting / tinfoil-hatting (again, same with this one)

a bit of a selfish one here, because I am pretty sure I coined this one: the mary problem. Another one not really beyond my own blog and the small circle that follows me, but I did see a bigger blog a long time ago use it AND credit me for it, so whee.

DON'T remember the EXACT phrasing, but it was something like "the fake baby is guns and money", where during the S3/S4 hiatus, speculation about the "baby" was that it wasn't real, and jokes devolved to "hahah the baby is Mary's secret stash of guns and money". It was silly and I loved it.

"something's fucky" came about after S4, and I don't know if it spawned from our fandom, but I'd NEVER seen it used before S4 shitposters used it.

Another I don't remember the exact phrasing, but "a camp gay and an angry bisexual dynamic"

phone = heart metaphor, the tea code, and food = sex metaphors

"the gay pilot"

I know I'm missing a PLETHORA of them... I've a terrible headache so my capacity for remembering things is very low right now, and I've been in this fandom for SO long, I've seen things come and go too often. If anyone wants to add to this list, please do!

Weirdest fucking thing from this morning...

I woke up with a pretty solid memory of what i was dreaming about, and the Distinct Understanding that what I was dreaming about was like..... The third episode of that particular dream??????????

I do not remember the first two, i only Barely remember what happened in this one (it was one of those dreams where i wasn't Present persay, the perspective character was a young woman with red hair, it had something to do with gods in a sort of Modern Fantasy setting ala percy jackson and horrible grotesque monsters) but i Know that whatever happened here was the Follow up to two previous dreams which just seems Wild to me...

My brain is keeping Secret Narratives from me and Frankly i don't Appreciate it >:T8

#monster noises #i Wish i could remember more #some of the monster designs were so coooooool #but i can't get a clear enough image of them

Interview with the Vampire is NAILING it, i can’t believe they went so hard and are PERFORMING . who asked for this show?? why did they make it? i’m so glad they did though

#i'm only on the first episode #but its incredible #oh my gosh #i haven't read the book since middle school #i wish i could remember more #the show is blowing my mind though bless #iwtv

[spiderversegf]

one important thing that Must be understood about interpersonal relationships is that you have to stop interacting with people who love you like they’re one slip-up away from leaving you. you have to trust that the ppl you love mean what they say. you have to believe that when they say “this hurt my feelings,” that they’re also saying, “can you please love me this other way next time?” and you have to wrap your head around the fact that even if you don’t understand Why someone loves you, you can accept that that they do. true, honest, & open love does not function like hp in a video game !!!!!!

#🍜 #wish i could remember this more. trying to rmr that when ppl are honest w ways they are hurt it’s bc they love me enough to be honest ab it #i am not perfect. but i can do my best to love people well and to apologize when i mess up #i do not have to punish myself! i can apologize and do better in the future #the love i feel increases when people tell me how to love them. the love i feel increases when people tell me how to love them. the love i- #sueñito tag

[aussie-roadkill]

still can’t believe they had the gall to complain I never talked to them about my problems when they literally yelled at me saying that I was selfish and entitled and nothing bad had ever happened to me so I didn’t even have a reason to be depressed and anxious

#and always talked about how love isn't real #and no relationships work out #and was shocked I didn't tell them about my partner #after they specifically told me not to talk about that person #because they felt guilty about something they said #I wish I could remember more #just so I could know if I was innocent or not

to love, is to turn back and look

#star trek #spirk #the motion picture #it's not really about him looking #it's more about him learning to choose to look #learning to give in to himself and his needs and his love #if that makes sense #i'm tired #hmm i think someone made a similar post to this a while ago actually #and i'm only just remembering now because i think i said the same thing then #sorry if it's very similar #i wish i could make gifs properly bc it would be so much better i think

#font = nouvelle vague. #realized that there was a distinct lack of Lysistrata gifsets so i decided to fix that and slapped this together #I feel like her lack of gifsets is a result of her limited screentime but also look how many felix gifsets there are (that's my fault tho) #I remember after I read the book I wished the movie was actually a miniseries so we could explore her more even before the movie was out #abyssal stuff #abyssal gifs #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #tbosas #thg series #gifset #gifs #lysistrata vickers #tbosasedit #thgedit #hunger games #tbosbas #the hunger games trilogy

I don't know how many people remember this, but 2000s internet feminism was obsessed with trying to rehabilitate the reputation of periods with all kinds of stupid reheated divine feminine, feel connected to your womanhood, all negatives are socially constructed, etc bullshit. 4chan had its fun creating extreme versions of this stuff, but they didn't invent it whole cloth. It was inescapable. Anyway, I'm so glad people have moved on and are no longer trying to convince everyone that periods are awesome. So happy that it's now uncontroversial to say that shit sucks.

#I wish I could remember more of the blogs from back in the day #This was back when you had to bookmark everything and periodically go load the blog to see if it had updated #Sadly my bookmarks were lost several computers ago and were on a shared family machine regardless #It would be interesting to take a look from a historical perspective #I'm sure Tumblr was the same when it was invented #But I never looked - I think I looked at feminist tags at some point in the early 2010s and immediately noped back out literally forever

bioware really said "i made this whole ass cool as fuck last second reveal in absolution that gives dreadwolf so much potential, so help me if y'all say dragon age 2 is a bad game that can just be skipped in the triology ONE MORE TIME I WILL SEND MEREDITH TO BEAT YOUR ASS-" and honestly that is so correct of them

#dragon age #dragon age 2 #dragon age absolution spoilers #dragon age absolution #da2 #daa #when i say i fuckin screamed #leaped out of my chair even #justice for da2 its a great game actually all it needed was more time to make maps more varied and not backtrack so damn much #time the devs did not have. and honestly id take shitty map design over fumbled story any day of the week #im still screaming this series was so good #the ONLY complain is i wish it was a 12 episode series so it could pace itself well enough to keep the non game fans from being lost #i imagine the show is way lesser if you cant remember codex stuff and dialogue bits at drop of the head #how do people who dont know things like who venatori are feel about later episodes??? #anyway funky dragon show good had a great time #bringie talks

adam from the weird tmc dream i had last night. more doodles and also an explanation under the cut

^these were my notes from last night LMAO. i was really tired. i remembered more as i was drawing. basically i was adam and i went into the vol 2 basement(?) and there was a tv (i think) and it was showing me advertisements for microwave dinners (one of them was fettuccine alfredo w peas) and some sort of news segment about a resident evil fan convention (????). can't remember what the 'evil merchant' was about??? anyways. kept walking and it became a brutalist concrete hallway with a glass ceiling and there was a fucked up creature behind the glass

^looked like that. its eyes kept following me. at some point the ceiling was concrete again but it was bleeding?? and then my body started splintering apart and it was basically catalyst but worse

^me (as adam) looking up at the ceiling as i became a creature. blood was dripping down the walls etc. some notes abt what i looked like after i transformed (some of this wasn't actually in the dream but i made shit up based on what my body felt like):

-iris/pupils have stopped bleeding, are now 'cracking' outwards (no clue what my eyes looked like. but there was a LOT of blood/'blood' on my face)

-mouth and teeth fused together, can't open (i couldn't open my mouth in the dream)

-two new mouths run down face from eyes. both have tongues and are fully functional (i remember having the vertical mouths w the tongues. super weird feeling. i licked my eye on accident it was gross)

-mouths on neck are cosmetic, not functional (i added them for fun. in the dream they were just holes i think)

-left shoulder got shifted around so much that it just sticks up like that. arm is broken and can't move much. (very stiff movement, just kind of hung there)

-just has a hole in the middle of chest. ribs are mostly normal but some of them can move/curl up like centipede legs. some ribs were sticking out of my back also (i think. felt like it at least)

-right arm got stretched out and fused to side of body, had to use it to walk (in the dream the hand itself was normal i just wanted to draw a weird hand. the arm rest of the arm was still weird tho)

-left leg was relatively normal, just a bit stretched out and broken.

-right leg was. long. it kept getting longer as i tried to limp away, until i stopped and then it stayed that length. i walked on the 'knee' and dragged the rest of it behind me

-also my bones were just. broken. just stabbing myself accidentally bc they stuck out weird and were VERY sharp. moving sucked

and thats all i remember. i know there was SOMETHING going on like. a plot or whatever but i forgot it :( like there was a REASON there was a beast in the ceiling but i cant remember WHY. oh well i got a sick alt adam design out of it lol. sort of. want to make an au based off of this ngl LMAO

#the mandela catalogue #adam murray #tw: body horror #tw: gore #tw: blood #tw: eye contact #foster's art tag #been rotating this in my brain for 3 hours wish i could remember more of it #catalyst but worse au #foster's dreams #<-forgot that one lol #tmc septendecim au

hey did you guys ever think what would happen when Diavolo and Mc had a child together? ever imagined the fear he has of them dying during childbirth and him despites his best efforts hating his child for only this simple thing they had nothing to do with just like his father did? or him not knowing how a father has to act because his refused to even try to love him for something he had not control over? or the fact he mostly likely never had a friend who just wanted to get to known Diavolo and not just the Prince of the Devildom and he fears the same would happen to his child? because I do now :,)

#local shouldn't be allowed to think #I have a fic idea :) #also this is like one of the rare times I would actually like to write something that could be sad #sometimes I just remember Diavolo had a really shitty time growing up and honestly horrible father and I get some ideas #wish I had more experience with sad things because I would love to write something that just breaks people in the best of ways

IMAGINE. working at ur stupid uhhh job or whatever. pulling into your drive way and ready to work on some crazy project in your garage. opening the door to the most unfamiliar silence. did your wife and kid leave for something? could you imagine knocking on your kids door, hardly getting an answer, and opening it to find the splattered remains of your wife across his room your child is scared! hes hardly consolable, in a state of shock and terror. you are too, but youre the adult here. you need to take charge. you need to protect him. you need to do something. you need to do something.
