psychic: [reads my mind]
me: the canon of sherlock holmes is the greatest love story ever told and bbc sherlock is the first show ever to illuminate the prologue to that story which has been obscured by years upon years of homophobia and heteronormativity. not only was holmes and watson's relationship made invisible by the prejudices the original acd canon evolved within, but bbc sherlock shows us that the society we live in now is also incapable of understanding queer romance beyond the realms of heterosexual convention while simultaneously maintaining a double standard when it comes to queer vs. straight romance. it demonstrates how if creators don't explicitly state the sexuality of characters queer relationships will inevitably be read as platonic, no matter how obviously in love two people are. it also demonstrates how within a heteronormative society being queer without adequate representation and support from those around you can easily lead to paths of self-destruction, many of us stumbling around in the dark unable to acknowledge or even understand our own feelings — mislabelling them, repressing them, being consumed with guilt/self-loathing for failed heterosexual relationships, or otherwise living unfulfilled lives without ever quite understanding why. moffat and gatiss reflect these struggles and the way society fails queer people, but also suggest that the power of true love is enough to be able to overcome even the deepest of traumas if we allow ourselves to finally acknowledge and communicate our feelings to each other.

DEVIL JOHN
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: Explicit
Summary: John is dead, but that's not the end for him. Not when he has a soul left to corrupt.
Excerpt:
Why was it so dark here?
His wound was gone now, but there had been an awful lot of blood before.
“Are you done now?” A voice called out, a lilting voice that rose and fell like music. “Have you realized yet, or are you still in denial?”
“Hello? Where am I? I can't see you.”
“It's hard for you, I know, but I would have expected that as a doctor you would realize the truth sooner rather than later.”
The voice sounded familiar, male, a bit high pitched, sing-song. No, it couldn't be. “Who are you?”
“You know who I am. You just don't...want...to believe it. You don't want to see it either. I haven't seen this much smoke since the first time I burned down my orphanage.”
“Moriarty? But you're dead!”
“Yes, I am...Ah! You almost see it, but your mind is fighting it. You have such a titanic skill at denial, don't you John?”
“Denying what!”John barked. The light became darker. “What are you doing with the lights?”
“Nothing Johnny boy. It's you who is doing it.”
“I'm not dead!”
“You are, that's why you won't see me. When you realize the truth, it will all become clear.”

Loved the key to time
(To Sherlock fans, isn’t this they same pose they always film Sherlock in?)
23 September: On this day in 1978 ‘The Ribos Operation’ - the first story of #DoctorWho’s Key to Time series - concluded!
Polls open at 7am! Go early!
ALRIGHTY EVERYONE if you are planning on voting in the primary tomorrow and all you upcoming primary states here’s what you need to know:
There will 100% be fuckery when it comes to closing polling sites unexpectedly or switching locations without notice. This already happened in other primaries this year and I live in AZ & we dealt with this in 2016 where it was taken to court AND FOUND TO BE LITERAL VOTER SUPPRESSION but nobody got in trouble and nothing was done.
So I’m just telling y’all who plan to vote EXPECT there to be shit that goes wrong because 👏🏽they 👏🏽don’t 👏🏽want 👏🏽you 👏🏽to 👏🏽vote. People in AZ were seriously waiting 8+ hours so if you’re going tomorrow make sure to bring water, dress for the weather in case lines are outside, and bring ID!! Some places will go smoothly, but it’s good to come prepared!
Also, your employer is legally required to allow you to go vote - I know all this doesn’t really mean shit at some places, and some of y’all literally can’t miss the work - but for those of you that can get that time off and go vote because anything’s better than being at work lol
Oh my God
I did it. I finished it!
Months and months of on and off hard work, this period of time included my last exams of my master degree, my planning for a South Korea university trip, the cancellation of said trip, and the first days of this quarantine all we Italians are living..
But this is an incredible result. The original picture is a work of art, and I loved it to the point of spending the last half of a year reproducing it
Now, what's next?
DOCTOR WHO
5.01 - The Eleventh Hour
7.12 - Nightmare in Silver
12.10 - The Timeless Children
