I do not accept Eurus as canon.

I will not be elaborating on this point.

Apparently, now every time I rewatch something I have to do this because nothing has ever been funnier than these texts. So here you go, bbc Sherlock's version.

This can only have come up before multiple times, but I will henceforth headcanon that ALL of the Holmes children are naturally ginger/auburn and dye their hair darker in order to appear more dramatic. I mean we know all of their actors dyed their hair, but why stop there?

I propose that Sherlock started dying his as a rebellious teen, but Mycroft did it around the same time to try to look more serious and intimidating. Both always claim to have done it first and obsessively attempt to conceal the fact that it not natural; John and Anthea have never noticed. Eurus however saw the other two and/or the film 'The Ring' (original Japanese obviously) and requested regular dosings of dye as one of her 'treats'.

Their parents are offended by this common gene-denying practice but, like so many other things, accept it as a mildly amusing quirk of their children.

I love her character. She's just too doomed by the plot 💔

Eurus, after TFP: Hooray!! thanks to my experiments, i can now understand human emotion ^^

Literally everyone else after TFP:

Free my girl she may have put the protagonists into a saw trap style mental maze but honestly she needed the enrichment

[divinity-in-chaos]

Did some more Sherlock funnies but this time it’s the whole Holmes siblings gang (plus John, cause he’s an honorary Holmes at this point)

"Childhood trauma masked by an invented memory. Boring!" (S2E2) Sherly. You sure? Last I checked it wasn't just Henry Knight.

Your Little Pirate Ship.

- A BBC Sherlock fanart by 梨塔寐里

This is one of the most stunning piece of fan arts I've ever laid eyes on, not just because of the absolutely extraordinary techniques and aesthetics but the details and conception design behind it. Take a moment to truly look at the symbols, the intricacies, and the sheer conceptual genius of this unbelievable creation.

An "Always the Grown-Up" Rant

I know that a lot of fans are angry at Moffat and Gatiss for a lot of things, and most of all for Season Four.

I personally am mad at them for a few things. Mostly things that I can easily let slide given the immense enjoyment I've had and continue to have from their BBC Sherlock series.

But THIS FUCKING LINE!!!

A woman's wedding ring is dirty even though the rest of her appearance is carefully curated? I'll handwave it and maybe google when we started using soap.

Man wears same large thick coat outdoors in all seasons? Fine. It's England. And I have an old (autistic) friend who actually does this.

John's eyebrow says that he hasn't rung his sister, and Mary's a bread baking disillusioned Guardian reader with a secret tattoo? Hahaha why not?

Sherlock has to use his incredible mind over matter to restart his heart but also "it was surgery"? Bit much, but I'll overlook it. For you.

Evil genius simultaneously hacks every screen in the country? Eh, ok.

Secret island prison? Sure. Let Sherlock live his pirate fantasy. Let John point his gun at someone. Let Moriarty play Queen while dramatically disembarking from a helicopter.

Predicting multiple terror attacks at lightspeed from Twitter? Well, we've come this far.

I do not watch Sherlock for 'slice of life' realism and dear lord I hope no one else does. I do not WANT realism. I want to forget that I am vast majority bedbound and that people are out there having coffee and going for a pint and working at normal jobs with payslips and lanyards and spreadsheets. And generally speaking, BBC Sherlock has helped a lot with that!

But WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK were they THINKING WITH THIS LINE???

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!

Sherlock is barely a fucking grown-up on his own, but I'd allow it. Especially after the "baby" jokes John, Lestrade and he himself have previously made at his expense.

But COMPARED TO MYCROFT?!?!

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK. LADS?????

WERE YOU HIGH? WERE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MINDS? WHAT THE FUCK???!!!

See, after I first heard this, I quickly recon headcanon-(is this a thing? Is there a name for this soecific thing?) -ed it into Mrs Holmes the mad genius being completely out of touch with the social reality of her children- especially as she's been so harsh to Mycroft in this scene and not massively had to look after adult Sherlock herself. Because, y'know, Mycroft was doing it!

Then I complained about it on Reddit.

To my HORROR, another user told me that Steven Moffat had said in an interview that it was meant to be taken as true. But y'know, we're all just randoms on the internet and people get things wrong.

Then another user told me they theorised that Eurus had reprogrammed her parents to favour Sherlock, which is an interesting theory.

But clearly in the script, everyone... including Sherlock and Mycroft... just quietly agrees.

What....

What is the reasoning for this?

I know some will say "mate, welcome to all of season four" or even "three and four" or all of it.

I know some people consider Mycroft a bully, but I really don't. Certainly not after the scene on the plane and the 'Redbeard' reveal.

I'm open to persuasion though. If anyone has any thoughts on this, feel free to share! I might well not agree, but I won't attack you either.

Or the writers. But again, if I ever end up trapped with them in a lift or some such... I WILL have questions!

A Transcript of the 5 Minute Conversation Between Eurus and Moriarty

[Discussion]

Eurus: I have a master plan to finally break Sherlock!

Moriarty: Ah, wonderful! What's my part of the plan?

Eurus: Well first you, of your own accord, have to come up with a series of impossible mysteries for Sherlock to solve.

Moriarty: Okay...sounds like I'm doing a lot of the work...

Eurus: And then you have to let Sherlock outsmart you, and pretend to be so upset that you kill yourself.

Moriarty: So I pretend to kill myself?

Eurus: No, actually kill yourself.

Moriarty: So just...okay...once again, sounds like I'm doing a lot of the--

Eurus: Now, before you die, I need you to record some close-ups of yourself saying the following phrases...

She hands Moriarty a script which he leafs through

Moriarty: Most of this is train noises! Are you going to be doing ANY of the work?

Eurus: Oh of course! I'm going to dress up as Zoe Dechanel on a bus and seduce Watson.

Moriarty: Oh, that's clever! Wait, why?

Eurus: For...uh...to be a sort of mysterious and foreboding presence in Sherlock's life.

Moriarty: Right, in Sherlock's life. So why torture Watson?

Eurus: So I can shoot him.

Moriarty: Ah! Brilliant! Killing Watson will--

Eurus: No, no. Just with a tranquilizer gun.

Moriarty: But...why?

Eurus: To announce that I'm Sherlock's sister! And then he'll tell Sherlock!

Moriarty: So you're going to tell him you're Sherlock's sister and then shoot Watson...on the bus?

Eurus: Oh! No. I'm also going to pretend to be Watson's therapist, who will not be Zoe Dechanel.

Moriarty: So you can pointlessly shoot Watson with a tranq?

Eurus: Precisely! AND, to really be a nuisance, or something, I'm also going to pretend to be a girl that Sherlock will be investigating on an unrelated case that I'll have no idea he'll be investigating in 5 years because it would be literally impossible for me to anticipate that. But rest assured I'll dress up as someone related to some case, and that someone will leave Sherlock a note with "Miss me?" written in invisible ink!

Moriarty: Miss me...that's on the script you handed me.

Eurus: Exactly! I'm going to play a video of you saying "Miss me?" to Sherlock so he thinks you're still alive!

Moriarty: But I won't be...Ohhhh! So we're going to set up an elaborate mystery before I die so that it will appear to Sherlock that I've set it up after my death! He'll think I'm still alive, and it'll drive him craz--

Eurus: Right, right, but no. No, there won't be an elaborate mystery under your guise. Just little notes that say "Miss me?" Because in actuality it'll be me he's missed! Not you! Then once I've revealed myself as his sister, I'll make him go through a gauntlet of deduction! And thennn use those fun train sounds which you're going to record for dramatic effect!

Moriarty: But then...excuse me, madam, why do you need me for your plot at all?

Eurus: To confuse the audience!
