(so Mad I Can’t See Straight) Yeah I Just Don’t Think Chat Gpt Is A Good Classroom Tool

i really enjoy the realm when it’s driven by character conflict. not conflict spawned by faction wars, or by weekly tasks—but between two people played by streamers who have had the opportunity to develop their characters separate from an external, admin-driven force. such as (most notably for me personally) the ones between aimros & pangili. i think that’s where the heart of the server lies, and i think the cast of people on the server would thrive in a completely free-range roleplay opportunity. they’re all very creative people, who have the skill to make some incredible storylines outside of factions.

and i do feel it’s important to note that several creators have started to take their storylines in their own directions, and give less “lore-ability” to the factions. which is incredible! it’s really been re-sparking my love for the server.

it wasn’t intentional, but the factions do feel restrictive, both in terms of things people can do and directions in which they can take their characters. it’s had a tendency to put them into boxes. that’s not to say that there haven’t been extremely interesting character conflicts and dynamics spawned by the factions, because there have been (ex, pili/ros, green/red, etc) but they also prohibit any development of these dynamics. because the factions have inadvertently given us the “good guys” and “bad guys,” we are at a stand-still. they have been frozen in this conflict, and it’s being dragged out with no proper way to resolve it.

for example, at the end of the day, the red faction will still have to kill. there’s no other option. and i feel like that’s very isolating. and i feel like it’s spawned a lot of fandom toxicity. and that (the fandom infighting), above everything else, is pulling me away from the server. it has a lot of potential! even currently! but i fear the factions will eventually drive it into the ground, and drive the community past the point of no return.

MARY WATSON IS

(His Last Vow spoilers)

Not as bad as people make her out to be (she made bad choices, yes, but she just wanted a future with John, a happy future)

An idiot (she could have just SHOT MAGNUSSEN -> ✅ Blackmail solved ✅ Sherlock isn't hospitalized and like............ There's no way Sherlock and John would have judged her for it, they would've probably helped her cover up the murder even so why, why why why would she shoot Sherlock)

It was more of like...

You know when you get a new toy for Christmas, and then you play with it, and then you play with it, and then you play with it? And... after a while you get another new toy! And then you throw the other one in the trash cuz...

you kinda got bored of the old one.

It-

It was a mistake clicking on this banner

hi i just wanted to let you know I genuinely cried when I clicked on your banner thanks

that is the intended reaction

Study not to be perfect but to become the best version of yourself.

I finally drew something in my sketchbook!!!

Thanks so much for such a detailed reply and don't worry, it's completely normal to forget stuff from time to time!

And yes, it was absolutely meant with kindness sorry if that wasn't clear!

And well, the queerbating thing, I posted a while ago. I'm a bit further in the series, and especially with not getting a resolution it does seem like queerbating.

What I guess I meant (or what is still true of it now) is that your posts helped me enjoy the series. When I first heard of the queerbating, I was upset because it ruined the whole series for me and your blog helped me enjoy this (albeit a bit broken) series again, even with its flaws

🤍

(I sent a similar ask a while ago but it seems you didn't get it sorry if it's twice) Hey so I only recently found your account and first of all, discovering asexuality from watching Sherlock is the funniest identity finding story I've ever heard (I read it on one of your posts), second of all, I love how structured your blog is (you've written SO much and it's surprisingly structured) ANYWAY that was a long introduction, my actual question is: Do you know why season 4 turned out the way it did?

luminescentlama asked: So I found your blog and I have a couple of things to note 1. Your profile picture is so gay (queer) /pos 2. Finding out about your own asexuality through analyzing Sherlock is the funniest realization story I have ever heard 3. I read your one post on why the show isn't queerbating and I feel better now so thank u :)

Hey Lovely!

Sorry, I've been sick and feeling a bit overwhelmed with literally everything, so I apologize for not replying right away; I often put off some asks so I have at least one new piece of content daily! I found your other ask and did miss it, so I do apologize!!

In response to your comments:

The larger version of my icon without the flags is here. The flag version was just for Pride month and I forgot to change to my Christmas icon this year, but I just left it because I like the pride version better.

RE: my sexuality, I am assuming you mean that with kindness (it CAN be perceived as not-nice teasing on initial read). Assuming it was one of these posts that you're referencing, and it's completely true. In the early days of the fandom, one of the little running jokes was that this show helped so many people realize that they were queer, LOL. For me, seeing a lot of myself in Sherlock, I imprinted on him and for some reason it jumpstarted my journey of self-discovery in my mid-thirties.

Thank you very much for the kind words on my blog. I work meticulously to keep it tidy and I LITERALLY have filed every single post for at least the past 5 years, so it makes it easier to find posts and reference back to them. I also have a meticulous tagging system (most of the time) that probably only makes sense to me, hahah. I love when you guys notice those kind of things, and I'm glad that my posts please you.

As for S4, no. We've got some tinhat theories, but these days I'm a bit more cynical about the tinhat theories and look more to Occam's razor theories: I just feel like Mofftiss "got bored" with the series, were mad people figured out their planned endgame (you know, like a good show / series ENCOURAGES in their fanbase), took their ball and went home and now just keep teasing to keep Sherlock the Brand profitable; ANOTHER theory is that around TAB, there was a shakeup at the BBC of the higher ups; Another was actor interference; and another was copy right issues at the time with the remaining stories. Who knows anymore, tbh.

Which then segues into your queerbaiting comment, I feel without a resolution in S5, then it is. But again, could be just me goalpost-shifting. But I do have a LOT of thoughts on S4 post-series, which are still entertaining reads and can be binged here on my Post S4 Meta Masterpost (August 2018). I have more recent posts as well, but will need more specific questions to direct you to them, LOL.

Anyway, again, sorry for the delay in a reply, but I hope that this response was worth the wait, and that you continue to enjoy your time here *HUGS*
