How to Ship Johnlock without Really Trying
I. The Soundtrack Does It
Listen to this audio clip. The notes you hear are the motifs for “John Watson’s Theme” (first) and for “SHERlocked” (second.) “SHERlocked” is the music that plays during the scene in the Battersea station between Irene and John and continues playing while Sherlock is walking down Baker street as he opens his eyes.
Both pieces have four note motifs (but they’re different chords) and very similar contours.
The very musical themes that stand in for John and Irene, that color their characters on screen and jerk our emotions are quite connected but different- just like their relationship to a certain consulting detective. (I dare you to listen to John’s theme and not feel a pang!)
II. The Editing Does It
Here’s yet another example of why the editing of Sherlock is so damn good. Irene enigmatically says to John, “I don’t think so, do you?” and the camera jump cuts from Irene to a very still John. Then there is a slow fade out over John’s face to total black— as if we’re looking at him and closing our eyes on his unmoving, and fraught face. The next edit is a jump cut to Sherlock opening his eyes as the music titled “Sherlocked” swells. These three are so intertwined— by shot selection, editing, music— that beautiful music that wells up in them all, in us. Irene is outspoken about her sexuality and desire and she’s outspoken about John’s. He does not contradict her when she says “Look at us both.” In fact, she has seen right through John. He’s not gay— on the whole. But he is Sherlocked. Irene knows what John likes. They are a little jealous of each other. Sherlock intentionally lets them know he’s there.
The scene has opened Sherlock’s eyes. Not because he didn’t know Irene’s true feelings, not because he is in love with Irene, not because he is touched that she is still alive- remember John says that the moodiness Sherlock is enacting is what he normally does anyway- doesn’t eat, plays sad music, etc. Sherlock has no sentiment towards her. She intrigues him and at this point is winning the game. Irene was easy to see though emotionally— well Sherlock proves her attachment by cooly taking her pulse. No— the eye-opening moment for Sherlock is that he begins to see John’s attachment— not that he understands it. In Hounds he says he has no friends but smartly reconsiders when he sees he has wounded John (as he had Molly before). In Reichenbach, Sherlock can’t understand why John would be upset at disparaging things people say about him. But I happen to think that by the time he makes his final call to John from the roof, he does care.
This short little edit, this blink-and-miss-it moment is the exact point in time that the CAMERA ships Johnlock— not in the sense of them having actual sex in canon— but in the sense that their bond is real, mysterious and eye-opening. Strong enough to last their whole lives.

#Moriarty and his constant manipulation of the narrative just fascinates me. #This moment is such a break in the storyline that it almost doesn’t feel like it should be in this type of show. #It probably shouldn’t but he makes it work because his character is constantly flipping everything you know on its head #or challenging the very notion of it as it exists and what comprises this in the first place only to smash it to pieces. #The way he subverts moments that should play out a certain way #or leads you down an entirely different path you didn’t see coming is so refreshing. #Ugh perfect character. I love you.

"Um. Myself and Colin have spent a lot of time together the last 2 years. And yesterday, uh, Colin was practically asleep, we got into London at like 7 - i dunno, something stupid - in the morning, and we were talking to somebody and I said a joke, and the person I was talking to didn’t laugh, but Colin woke up and went hahahaha. And, it’s just-it’s just kind of, and I, you know, I find myself knowing - I don’t know, just picking on this strange wavelength that we’ve created, between the pair of us, and not being able to step away until, after, I go oh my god, we’re a pair of weirdos."
- Bradley James- (x)
Just a point I remembered to make for anyone not in the UK
When Sherlock S3 comes out, you can watch it here live, at the same time us, on BBC One!
i’m really really hoping it doesn’t come to this, but just in case signal boost
Thank.
GOD BLESS YOU
Inhaling Autumn’s Breath by Emjayelle
↳ Arthur Pendragon has upended his life, and uprooted himself to a new country, hoping to start over. As he looks for something different and new under the fiery colours of fall, he finds that he might be able to become the person’s he’s always wanted to be, all with the help of a quirky French Canadian writer, some serious seasonal activities and just a little bit of magic.
“’I was told to take a small detour through the Chemin des Pères from the highway.’ Merlin bit his lip at his words, sucking in his cheek, his eyes full of mirth. Arthur frowned. ‘What?’
‘It’s just… I just like the way you said Chemin des Pères.’
Arthur’s frown deepened, his self-consciousness was back. He rubbed his palms on his trousers. ‘Didn’t I… didn’t I say it properly?’ he asked, unsure.
‘Oh no no no!’ Merlin stopped Arthur, grabbing his forearm lightly. ‘It was fine! I did understand you, didn’t I? Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. I know how embarrassing accents can be, I mean, listen to me! I just meant that I like the way it sounded. It’s cute.’ ”{ Masterpost of fic recs can be found here. }
HOW WOULD YOU GO ABOUT DYING THAT MUCH HAIR
HOW MUCH HAIR DYE WOULD YOU NEED
We are going to say it takes 3 containers for a foot of hair, along with the thickness of her hair. Takig in those that factor along with the fact that Rapunzel’s hair is approx. 70 feet (canonically), that makes 70 x 3 =
210
She would need 210 containers of hairdye.
That’s a lot. Wonder how much it cost?
Well hair die costs $6.99 at Walmart. Let’s round that up to $7.00. So multiply 210 containers by 7 dollars and you get $1,470.
It would cost her around $1,500 to die all her hair blue

this is greatand yet no one here is willing to spend 5 minutes on math homework
Things that happened before Season 3:
- More Harry Potter was announced
- The US government shut down
- Global warming was confirmed to be our fault
- Exorcists tried to cleanse England of Harry Potter
- There was another Hobbit trailer
- Supernatural Season 9
- America started to colour its money
- Tony Abbott became the Australian Prime Minister
so the moral lesson of the story for the BBC is never have a 2 years hiatus for Sherlock because shit happens.

I totally forgot to upload these. Took them on 21st August in North Gower Street. This is how close I got to him. Our fingers touched when he gave me back my pen. He said to me “That is a very beautiful picture.” when he signed it. It still seems so unreal to me. But it was one of the best days ever.

I’m not actually gay.
I’m just occasionally hetero-negative
Do you ever get the impression that Benedict and Martin are convinced they are creating two entirely different shows? Like Benedict thinks he’s playing the lead man in a thrilling crime drama with a spunky sidekick; while Martin is the lead actor in a heartbreaking unconventional romance series that just happens to have a lot of explosions.
That explains so much, actually.

I can’t stop laughing at Harry running the fuck away, the boy who lived ladies and gentlemen.
….You realize, of course, that Hermione Granger lit a teacher on fire when she was eleven, and kept a person alive in a jar for a year when she was fourteen, and studies dark and forbidden magics for kicks, and is one of the brightest and strongest witches of her era. If she came at me, even wandless, I would aparate to Neptune to get away from her.

run, sherlock!! HE’S GONNA EAT YOU
Oh no. Hannibal won’t eat Sherlock.
He knows a clever mind and loves to watch that mind slowly twist inside itself.
He’s going to find the source of that mind’s sanity.
He’s going to eat John.

Dear John’s head,
I feel a distance growing between us. I thought we were having a great time together but obviously you needed some space today. I get it … All good friendships need a moment to breathe but shooting is ending shortly and this makes me cry alone at night … In a corner.. Of my closet. So I hope you got your space so we can have a good end to a great beginning.
Sincerely,
The girl who always ends up stuck behind youThis TFiOS movie blog is the best.

So I have been talking to this guy I really like for about a month now, and I was at work one day, and he surprises me, holding my favourite Starbucks drink. I had lent him the book Looking For Alaska, because he said he never really enjoyed reading, and I told him this book would change that. So he told me he was done with it, and he took me home from work. We get in front of my house and he’s like “I want another book!” So I told him I’d run inside and get him Paper Towns.
As I was getting out he grabs me by my hand and says, “Wait! there’s this quote I wanted to show you on page… 123, I think. I like it a lot and I’m surprised you didn’t highlight it!”
And so I turn to the page, and there is this post it note pointing to that sentence.
I was asked out via a John Green book.
reblogging (again) because cripples my heart so much.
WELL DID YOU CHOOSE A B OR C
can someone explain this god damn american government thing i keep hearing about it wtf
the ministry has fallen. scrimgeour is dead. they are coming
Sadly, no. More like Lucius Malfoy is throwing a hissyfit about the fact that Muggleborn might be let into St. Mungo’s. Not that he goes to St. Mungo’s. He has a personal physician, doncha know.
this.
tiny little turn ons:
- people leaning against walls with one shoulder while they talk
- catching somebody turning away smiling at a joke you made
- people who linger on a hug for just a second after you let go
- somebody glancing at your lips while you’re talking
jesus CHRIST
Someone glancing at your lips is actually a sign of attraction, if I remember correctly.
I’m pretty sure some ambitious person out there would be able to find an applicable merlin gif for each one of these.
Anyone up for the challenge?
GUYS ITS 2:AM AND I FORGOT WHAT OATMEAL MEANT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EMOTION AND I SAID OUTLOUD “IM FEELING VERY OATMEAL” BUT IT DIDN’T MAKE SENSE, SO I LOOKED UP OATMEAL, BUT I SPENT 20 MINUETS CONTEMPLATING IF IT ACTUALLY WAS AN EMOTION AND IF GOOGLE WAS LYING
this text post is so oatmeal
i hate you
