Wait and go back, Maybe they'll say more. A story is rarely ever one sided.

Though I suggest it's over and find a new group to watch.

I just mean no one knows what happened yet.

I took your suggestion and decided to go back through everything with a fine-tooth comb today before answering this ask. And I am not liking what I see.

This is certainly a very difficult situation. The facts as they are at the moment: John has abandoned interacting with the original Sherlock blog and is no longer participating in roleplay with consult-sherlockholmes. Claiming an amicable split.

I find it interesting that consultjohnwatson was interacting with other (very new) sherlock blogs in the exact same manner as they would with consulting-sherlockholmes before the "break up" announcement. Makes it appear that they were shoping around for a new rp partner before they pinned that post.

Side note: (After looking at some of the reponses by the rp blog) There is no excuse for mistaking these new blogs for the original rp partner whether in out of character.

We know of it happening the first time publicly at the end of January, about a month ago. Almost directly after the rp love confession from original account. We also know for a fact that John ( the character and roleplayer) isn't stupid and would see it wasn’t consult-sherlockholmes, like it was implied/said. I am sure we all can see this.

(Devils advocate) would he (John (rplayer and character) have been oblivious, though?

Personally, I would doubt that. I don't quite remember the timeline of when they officially put a label on their (rp) relationship. I believe it was somewhere around January 29th. That was two months ago confirming a johnlock relationship. Who in their right mind would destroy that? Not John the character. Thats so way out of left field for him. That being said, it's possible that they (John and the new sherlock account(s) have been talking behind the scenes before the break up AND before the offical rp johnlock confirmation.

Especially, considering the ease at which they (the john rp and new sherlock account(s)) are interacting with each other. Incredibly sus. Which is why I would doubt him being oblivious to what he's doing.

Digging further, it almost seems planned, however sloppily. All of this is weirdly out of character for John to do. Which leads me to believe that this is not roleplay. Because, how likely is it for John (rp or not) to just split after getting johnlock? So that begs the question. Why did John actually break up with their original Sherlock? It can't be because he received a random ask from another Sherlock. Thats just ridiculous.

Especially, choosing to immediately hook up with that someone(s) as if they were together all along with, using a near identical username to consult-sherlockholmes, etc. It appears that this entire debacle was intended to replace him (original sherlock rp), without warning.

Last point and the most damning would be this. If this was talked about between original parties for a "long time" and it is an amicable split of partnership (roleplay or outside roleplay), why is consult-sherlock completely surprised in his posts? Why was he surprised about the appearance of the other sherlock(s), thinking its an impostor? If roleplay, if this was actually planned, if it was discussed he (consult-sherlock) wouldn't have reacted like that.

This would be extremely shocking and hurtful for anyone.

Anywho, just things I've seen and noticed.

All in all, the point is. Something in the milk aint clean and I have a strong suspicion that this weirdness isn't roleplay but a deeper issue behind the scenes.

If I am so motivated, I may even organize the information I have gleaned and put it in a comprehensive format. Because who doesn't love graphs?

Okay here's a new one for the Penelope and Phillip friendship tag: step-siblings Philip and Penelope. Portia's husband dies when Penelope is just a baby and she is in dire straights. By some marvelous coincidence, Lord Crane is looking for a wife to help raise his sons as he is far to busy. So when the two enter a marriage of convenience. Philip and Penelope instantly click and are basically joined at the hip. Since their parents aren't to interested in them, they both lean on each other heavily. Penelope is also able to delay her debut since George's wife Marina fall pregnant just before while George is off in the war and she volunteers to stay behind and look after her. George passing away, Sir Crane dying of grief with Marina not to long after lead to a further delay in Penelope's presentation as her and Philip work on raising the twins together while Portia works on getting her two eldest married. At last though it can no longer be avoided and she drags Philip along with Penelope to London with the twins to find Philip a wife (Penelope is 26 and is a hopeless case in her mind. At least she can work for Philip as the children's governess). Cue Colin and Eloise meeting and falling in love with Penelope and Philip but they think Penelope and Philip are married to each other given that they have the same last name.

I want to adjust this a little to have Felicity being the baby when Lord Featherinton dies. Mainly because I'm giggling at the thought of shotgun!Felicity going to bat for her favorite sister and step-brother as the introvert protector. Then she turns around and teaches the twins bad behavior. She teaches Oliver and Amanda how to shoot a shotgun while Eloise will later teach them how to shoot pistols. 

When Penelope was seven her father died. When she was eight her mama moved them out to Gloucestershire where she was told her new father and brothers lived in their new home.

Penelope liked her new home in Romney Hall. She did not like Sir Crane, but she did like George and Phillip. Thankfully Sir Crane was not all around that much and Phillip liked books like her!

Practically glued to the hip Penelope and Phillip would explore the countryside together studying different plants they came across and reading their books. As the rest of their family tended to ignore them the duo could be gone for hours before they were needed for lessons. Felicity joined them as she got older, much preferring to be outside with them and practicing her shooting. 

The two of them were never really apart until Phillip was seventeen and Penelope was fifteen. That was the year Phillip had gone off to university to study Botany.  The two kept in contact with letters, but despite her best friend and favorite sibling being so far away Penlope wasn’t lonely. George had recently become engaged to a young debutant named Marina. She was the same age as Phillip, and she was quite beautiful. She seemed to carry a deep sadness though. 

Penelope’s stepfather still mostly ignored all the children in his house, while her mama had gone back to London with her two older sisters to try to find them husbands for them. Her mama said if all goes well then Penelope’s turn will come when she is seventeen. 

Penelope scrunched up her nose as she read over the letter. She didn’t know how she felt about moving all the way to London to look for a husband. Could she not find one here in Gloucestershire? Like how Marina found George? 

Penelope never got to go to London when she was seventeen. When Penelope was seventeen her family had received a letter that George had been killed in battle, and then they had discovered that Marina was with child. Sir Crane had left that same morning to drag Phillip home as the new heir to Romney Hall. 

Phillip and Penelope comforted each other that night as the mourned their lost brother. 

Two weeks later Sir Crane died while yelling at Phillip and threatening to whip him. The old Sir Crane fell over, and Phillip was officially the new lord of Romney Hall. Penelope and Felicity helped gather the kindling needed for Phillip to burn that forsaken whip. 

Phillip and Marina married something Portia agreed with. 

“Your future child will be legitimized this way,” Portia explained to Marina. “If born a boy he will be Phillip’s heir and there will be no need for either of you to share a marriage bed.”

No one talked about the twins being eight-month babies, but there were whispers of how the Lady Crane never left her rooms. In order to help her brother Penelope took up the role of Lady of the house. 

Marina never got over her heartbreak, and Felicity did not like how that heartbreak manifested in their home. 

Nineteen year old Penelope was walking towards Marina’s room looking for Felicity when the most unexpected thing happened. She heard yelling. 

“Keep quiet! I cannot remember if you don’t keep quiet!” Marina shouted from the doorway.

Twelve year old Felicity glared. It was clear she was getting ready for her lessons based on the materials in her hands. “Remember what?” Felicity spat back. “That you are Lady Crane and the lady of this house? Remember that you have children?” 

“I am not the lady of this freak house,” Marina said coldly. “I am Lady Crane to Sir George Crane.” She turned towards Penelope, pointing at her. “That is the lady of the house, the sister wife to Sir Phillip Crane.” 

Penelope doesn’t flinch. It has not the first time Marina has said something like that to her due to her sadness, nor is it the first time she has heard someone whisper about her and Phillip’s close bond. It does not help that some truly believe her to be the lady of the house instead of her position of acting lady. 

Felicity opens her mouth to say something else when Penelope interrupts her. “Felicity, wait for me down in the drawing room.”

Felicity looks back from Penelope to Marina before taking her leave, giving her sister a quick hug before darting down the stairs.

With Felicity gone and the silence back Marina burst into tears. 

“Do you wish to lay down?” Penelope asked her. Sleeping was something Marina did a lot of these days. 

Marina nodded and Penelope led her back to her bed. Once tucked in Marina herself became silent. 

When Penelope got to the drawing room Felicity was not there, but Phillip was. “Felicity told you?” 

Phillip nodded, and then sunk down into his seat. “Marina is right. George should be the one here right now.”

“Well, if we’re going by should be, then my father, Lord Featherington should be alive, and I should be in London. We should have never met.” Penelope said, leaning her head on Phillip’s shoulder. 

Phillip let out a nervous laugh. “Could you imagine us right now without one another?”

“We’d be miserable.” Penelope replied. “We’ll get through this.”

“Hopefully.”

The two sat in silence for a moment then Penelope looked up. “Where is Felicity by the way?”

“I told her she could go destress by practicing her shooting.”

“How she loves noise.”

When Penelope was twenty-four Marina had passed away from a sickness that she didn’t even try to fight. The family went into mourning. 

Phillip and Penelope were answering condolences letters. Penelope hands one to Phillip that is only addressed to him. 

“Who is it from?” Penelope asked.

“A Miss Eloise Bridgerton,” Phillip said. 

Penelope looked over the list of relatives. Her mama managed to keep a meticulous record of the Featherington family tree and the Crane family tree. Ah there it is, Bridgerton.”It appears she is one of Marina’s distant cousins.”

Phillip nodded and started his reply. 

When Penelope was twenty-five and Phillip twenty-seven Portia had put her foot down.

“You two, and Felicity are to come to London this season to look for spouses,” Portia said, leaving no room for argument. Before either of them can get out a word Portia stops them. “No buts. Penelope we should have brought you earlier, instead of relying on someone finding you out here in Gloucestershire. Maybe if we had we could have had the Featherington grandson by now and Phillip, the children need a mother. As for Felicity it is time for her debut, and she won’t go if you two don’t.” 

Phillip and Penelope glanced at each other. As much as they don’t want to admit it, they knew Portia had a point. The Featherington estate needed an heir, Portia managed to secure it so that the first grandson would get the estate but to give themselves their best chances of that they needed as many as the daughters married as possible. Also, Romney Hall deserved a proper mistress, and the twins a proper mother. 

You deserve a wife who will love you, Penelope thought to herself as she watched her brother think it over. 

Phillip eventually nodded, looking pained as he said his next words. “I see you point Mother; we shall join in London for the next social season.” 

“Good,” Portia nodded. “Now when we are there you two must make sure to act like you are looking for spouses, and not like a couple who married for convivence.”

“We don’t act like that,” Phillip and Penelope said at the same time.

Portia sent them a look, “I know that and anyone who lives or works in this house knows that you two are nothing more than siblings. But rumors do travel, and often times leads others to see things that are not there.” 

A week later two carriages rode off towards London, one bearing the Featherington crest, while the other bared the Crane crest. 

Phillip and Penelope sat in the Crane carriage, each of them had one of the twins sleeping on their laps. 

Penelope looked down at her lap and then back at her brother. “Pip.”

Phillip looked up; Penelope hasn’t been called that since George died. “Yes Penny?”

‘When you marry-”

“If I marry-”

“When you marry,” Penelope said, “I think I should like to find a cottage nearby. To give you and your new wife some space.” 

Phillip smirked. “You just don’t want her to find out you write dirty novels, and ask barmaids about female pleasure, Lady Whistledown.

"I figured if anyone knew about female pleasure it would be Lucy. She certainly has the bossom for it. And I was right!" Penelope then made a face. “I still say it is your fault everyone calls me Lady Crane.”

Phillip had been teasing her about seeing so many reading her novels in public once and had called her my lady. He had meant it as Lady Whistledown, Penelope suspected others thought it meant Lady Crane. 

“Whatever you wish Penny I will help,” Phillip promised. “But who knows, maybe you will find your own match in London.”

Penelope rolled her eyes. “Yeah, right Pip, no serious offers would be made to a spinster.” 

As was tradition with the London social season Lady Agatha Danbury’s ball opened up the festivities. Everything was set up in a beautiful garden, with lanterns organized just so to give a romantic lighting. 

Penelope grabbed hold her Phillip’s arm. With her luck her brother would spot a plant he found interesting, get distracted, and then she never sees him again. Yeah no, she’s not about to explain Amanda and Oliver about how they lost their daddy over a plant. The Featherington estate would not survive the chaos.

Portia leads their group over to their host, who was standing with a middle-aged woman, and what looks like could be her children. 

The woman was Lady Violet Bridgerton, and her children with her were Colin, Eloise, and Hyacinth. Felicity liked Hyacinth, but Felicity had to do a double take at her older siblings.

Oh no, Felicity does not like that look Colin is giving her sister. He looked hungry and only Penelope could satisfy his hunger. Also why is Eloise sizing her brother Phillip up like that?

Thankfully Penelope is still holding Phillip in place. She does not want to see what those Bridgertons would do if she wasn't.

A few more words were passed between the the four and then Penelope detaches herself from Phillip to dance with Colin. Eloise takes Penelope's place and begins a walk around the room with Phillip.

Oh no, Felicity is gonna need her shotgun, and the twins.

Penelope and Colin are engaged and just want to spend time together. However temptation can sometimes turn into a scandal.

Lyrics:

Those times I waited for you seem so long ago

I wanted you far too much to ever let you go

You know you never got my "I feel it too's"

And I guess I never could stand to lose

It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Could I have love someone like the one I see in you?

I remember the good times, baby, now, and the bad times too

These last few weeks of holding on

The days are dull, the nights are long

Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

'Cause baby, it's over now

No need to talk about it

It's not the same

My love for you's just not the same

And my heart, and my heart

And my heart can't stand the strain

And my love, and my love

And my love won't stand the pain

And my heart, and my heart

And my heart can't stand the strain

And my love, and my love, and my love

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Now, could I ever love someone like the one I see in you?

Yeah, I remember the good time, baby, now, and the bad times too

These last few weeks of holding on

The days are dull, the nights are long

Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you, whoa

Songwriter: Zachary Holt Smith

Goodbye, baby (goodbye, baby)

So long, darlin'

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you, whoa

Bye-bye, baby (bye-bye, baby)

So long, darlin'

Goodbye to you (bye-bye, baby)

Goodbye to you

More Regency AU! Arthur really wants Molly to marry- the caveat is that it needs to be someone he approves of, and the only thing he's willing to approve of is a Protestant, preferably an Anglican. Molly's concerned about how Arthur's "long engagement" to her friend gets longer every time he sees another ship he can board. What's even more pressing then is how to tell her nephews and niece their father's left for sea again.

A "short" crime report.

"The chief problem in any community cursed with crime is not the punishment of the criminals, but preventing the young from being trained to crime." And if W. E. B. Du Bois is right on that quote, then this place must be the foremost university schooling in theft across the nation considering the crime rate.

The thief anon.

The most prominent figure lately has been the thief anon, who seems to be running around, well, stealing. I have received a claim that the next break in or theft shall be at the Hamilton-Laurens residence, however if this claim is to be believed is of a matter of discussion. That could be a warning from the thief anon themselves since only the thief anon themselves would know that yes- however it could easily be a hoax made by someone bluffing, however I say it is important enough to note.

Some suspects of the thief anon include Philip Hamilton Laurens, supppsed to be Kelleher however who knows if that will actually happen after what has transpired, stealing money for child support he will have to pay to Odette Clementine.

A criminal often returns to the scene of the crime, so I would play close attention to anyone around the Hamilton-Laurens residence and Timothy Pickering's tavern.

The shooting of Timothy Pickering.

As you can see from this article, Timothy Pickering has been having a very horrible no good time for the past few days.

No one truly knows what happened, except for Timothy ofcourse, and even he doesn't seem completely sure. I have not managed to find any records of the shooting except the aftermath, however people found such;

Peter III has been pestering Timothy and the sorrounding people for a while, he tried to make Timothy play war with him when Timothy obviously did not want to because of his trauma relating to the topic. Peter III has also taunted Timothy for his hight unprovoked, as well as many other people. For example Nathaniel Kraus who's sculpture was called ugly by Peter III, as well unprovoked, in an attempt to start an altercation.

No one is sure of Peter's exact motives, however the opinion across the board seems to be that everyone should stay clear of him and his explosive temper and uncompromising personality.

Detective S.

A new detective is on the scene, Sterling Edevane, sniffing around for clues of some criminal underground. He is calling himself "a consulting detective", whatever that would mean.

So expect a knock on your door and a lil questionnaire, for he is very serious about his work. And if you have any information that could help him, he is kindly asking for you to bring it on over to him direct, via postbox or a visit at his address (@sincerely-edevane).

He specifically asks of any sightings of the previously mentioned 'tall goth clad in all black', however also takes any tips concerning the thief anon or anything else.

Also- yes you can put advertisements here now! Just as per usual send in an ask whatever you need to advertise, such as a new job position, services ect. and I shall incorporate it!

And for a specific one of my readers-

I am sorry to give you no alcohol! I hope you shall find a new excuse to drink.

However please remember, here I try to never state my own opinions or theories, all of which you have just heard has been sent to my letterbox and I am only putting it into an article.

As it says in my bio, do not kill the messenger♡︎

Tidbits of information and rumors from all around are always appreciated

P. S. About the Elias-Philip-Odette ordeal I shall most likely publish nothing about. Everything that has been revealed seems to have been revealed, not to mention everything about it is coming out so fast that I cannot keep track and anything of which I write vould be out of date hours later. I also just do not feel like writing about it in detail, and if mentioned it will only be mentioned like today in passing. Send in tips about it if you wish- however I cannot guarantee I will use them.

Behold a very rough, tentative plan of my first actual CAMP structure. Sound off if it’s going to doom me lol.

Notes:

* I don’t believe I’ll need any additional stations because I’m right next to the Overseer’s CAMP so people can just mooch off of the resources there.

* The question mark area will be my vending machine and a generator, but I’m not sure how I’m going to arrange them just yet

I'm golden-child!Jason and not-even-a-silver-egg!Dick truther for life, and that's so funny.

Bruce is used to the chaos he calls his son, so when Jason actually behave, Bruce is soooo confused.

Like, what do you mean Bruce can tell him to not do something and Jason will??? Obey??? The order??? Dick would never.

Bruce, fully prepared for scandal: You are not allowed to jump from one wardrobe to another, it's dangerous for you.

Little Jason, who has no idea why he should: Ok? I wasn't planning to anyway.

Confused Bruce: You wasn't?

Little Jason who are scared to touch anything here, because it probably costs more than his life: I don't want to ruin the mansion...

More Confused Bruce: You don't?!

Or 

Bruce: so, you are saying that if I tell you to sit in your room and read books, you will really sit in your room and read books?

Little Jason, who has no idea why he shouldn't: Yeah?

Bruce, whispering to Alfred: I didn't know they could do that.
