Imagine Mycroft proposing to you.

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

Straight ahead or two steps forward, two steps back? Linear and non-linear narrative in BBC’s Sherlock

I was probably not the only one to be blown away by the complex narrative in season 3 of Sherlock. It has been nagging me for a long time, so of course I had to visualise it. 

What started as an experiment, turned into a monster that would not let me go. In the end, I just had to finish it, so here you go. (If someone ever tells you that they intend to make 224 frames by hand, please tell them to go learn animation properly. I do know that I ought to!)

This is what you need to know when watching the animation: 

Considering the recent discussion about the order of events in A Scandal in Belgravia and The Hounds of Baskerville, I should also point out that each episode has a line of its own. I did consider letting the dots jump to the right line when there are flashbacks to earlier episodes, but that would have turned this regular monster into a flaming balrog that would have burnt me to crisp. So each line refers only to that episode and flashbacks to earlier episodes are simply put to the left of the events that actually take place in the episode. I hope that made sense … :-)

…the fact that Mycroft went undercover wearing a £895 coat is honestly one of my favourite things about Mycroft

My, my, my… It’s

Gatiss Wednesday!

Mycroft Holmes has been on my mind ever since my friends and I rescued him from Moriarty last week. Let’s see your favorite pics or gifs of Mark as Mycroft Holmes. 🌂

Usually he's being so serious, but...

Where else have you seen Mark being so... Mark?

Gorgeous! 😍

Sherlock - Warriors (Legends Never Die)

I think it's time the creators of "Sherlock" say: "We don't do more of it, because the principal actors don't want to do it". And this must be it - not because of the schedules, not because of the Marvel (seriously - "Doctor Strange 2"?), not because they are "THE STARS", but because they don't want to do it. And the fact that they don't admit it is unfair not just to the viewers, and not even to themselves, but also to other actors who were also vital for "Sherlock"'s success but who are somehow not "THE STARS". Because they would definitely find some time to do more. But nobody cares.
