sherlock holmes reactions part six (aka me losing my mind over the final problem)
Hi, I am once again reminding you all that I've formed a parasocial relationship with the crackhead detective 👍 This made me overly emotional for the fact that he didnt even die
But like
hhhmmmmmmmm those were certainly an interesting 14 pages
Yeah, I already made a post about how the final problem relates to yuumori's final problem and how incredibly sexy it is but yes now I'd just like to relay to you how absolutely heart brocken i am over this lol I will eventually get to reading the post hiatus stories i just. I haven't emotionally recovered from this yet
Yelling below the cut somehow this reaction feels longer than the story itself. but it's about half cracking jokes and half sobbing so be prepared
I mean, starting off strong with "well yknow since i got married my and sherlock's Very Intimate Relations had to be modified and all but we hadnt seen each other in a while so it was kind of jarring to see him crawling in my second story bedroom window clutching Wounds and closing the shutters absolutely fucking wasted losing his mind over some dude named moriarty"
We've been over this but. Oh my god why are they gay
I just like????? Imagine how fucking bizzare that would be to just see your old homie crawl into your window bleeding on your floor and asking to exit the other way in case he's followed like "hey bro can we Talk i hope you're not busy" WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO, SAY HE IS? Imagine watson just like "no dude I'm fucking busy go get killed"
But legitimately. That's certainly something. And like, I see a lot of books starting like this lmao but. Holmes's stuff usually starts off kind of easily with watson going "yeah so lately ive been Experiencing Sherlock Holmes" and spend 20 minutes on exposition with them having a Conversation but no. mans just fucking escaped a hitman and went directly to his boyfriend's house having apparently Never Before In His Goddamn Life mentioned his actual nemesis to this guy. How the FUCK has watson never heard of him before.
And how sherlock starts talking about it isn't any less funny he's just like "UHHH SO THERE'S THIS GUY. THIS ABSOLUTE MAN. AND HES REALLY IMPRESSIVE I MEAN HES LIKE SUPER FUCKING SMART AND HES LIKE DOING CRIMES????? SO I LIKE. I NOTICED AS I DO BUT HE NOTICED THAT I NOTICED AND I MIGHT HAVE MADE A LITTLE FUCKY WUCKY DUDE CAN YOU HELP ME LIKE. FLEE THE COUNTRY" and watson's like my dear sherlock What The Fuck
Im also loving how he calls moriarty a "mathematical celebrity" awhi;grih;oaewhhta;ioh;iaewh;ii;oewh;eh;rg mans just. ok lol hes a Math Celebrity that had to quit his math teacher job because EVERYONE JUST KNEW HE WAS A CRIME LORD LIKE THEY TOOK ONE LOOK AT HIM AND WENT MANS DEFINITELY HAS BODIES IN HIS BASEMENT I DONT WANT HIM TEACHING HERE
But yeah, it was interesting to see what the big deal about og moriarty was... especially since the deal simply did not deliver. There was not really a big deal. It's like reading the first chapter of a book and immediately skipping to the climax. Everything is so hyped up and clearly having been building for years and you just get like NO CONTEXT. I swear Moriarty wasn't goddamn mentioned any time before this. He's just suddenly the big guy and watson has just never fucking heard shit about this guy.
What's so funny about this whole situation is that I just. Cannot objectively know anything about Moriarty at all because sherlock just... does not go into what this dude's alleged crimes even were, other than. The fact that he like. Does them. He's just really involved in crimes. How? Why? For how long? In what way? For what purpose? NO FUCKING CLUE HE JUST. HE JUST DOES. And there's nothing to really suggest that Moriarty was honestly a really evil guy. They're all like trust me he was just. he was just really bad but show absolutely No examples of being such. The most evil thing we saw Moriarty do personally was call sherlock stupid for letting him get into the apartment. And even then he immediately followed it up with complimenting him lol
yeah, my impression of Moriarty was like. I expected him to be worse, honestly. I expected him to be like a cartoon villain because he was kind of made out to be one and then he's just honestly a really polite and refined guy?? Mans strolls the fuck into 221B like hi shawty and it is Not like yuumori obviously man's holding a gun but like. What the fuck they are just. They have never met before but They Clearly Have and it's. its so weird
Like honestly I don't dislike og moriarty. He's really what william tried to be (and fucking failed, but beside the point) but like. Dude's so powerful and for what. He just walks into the apartment with No Pretense like why sherlock holmes is that a revolver or are you just happy to see me oh my goodness you are a dolt why would you hold the gun that way. disgusting. disgraceful. dreadful. Oh my god. I love him I'm sorry
abngnahhghifeah;iewh and Why does sherlock describe him like that hes like "MANS A REALLY REFINED LIZARD /pos" HIEHIFEHW:HGIHOEWFEEW FOR WHAT. FOR W H A T
baaaaaaaaghhhhhh but likeeeee they went STRAIGHT to "you know what I'm here for" "you know how I'm going to respond" "well then" "yeah" "mhm" "damn well it really do be like that sometimes" "ur really smart by the way" "im fucking aware let's kill each other as we both Thought in our Minds" "yes lets" AHDHDHDHDFS WTF THIS IS INSANE
But damn uh. mutual destruction my beloved this is very different from sherliam but im not. im not. opposed to it tucks hair behind ear
I just. Holy shit they really went "if you destroy me I will ensure that we both go down hand in unlovable hand" "I wouldn't mind that"
Annnnd I just noticed that the actual lines for this part kind of. that kind of happened in chapter 31 when sherlock was like i would Gladly die to take down the lord of crime and william was like. hahahah yeahNO NO NO NO
BUT SERIOUSLY THO IM LOSING MY MIND OVER HOW SHERLOCK SAYS THIS WHOLE THING TO WATSON AND HES LIKE DAMN SHAWTY HES LIKE THE REASON FOR HALF THE CRIME IN THIS CITY BUT HES SO NICE THO??? LIKE I EXPECTED HIM TO BE TOUGH AND EVERTHING NO HES JUST SOME POLITE PROPER UNDERSTANDABLE MAN WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE VERY DIABOLICAL shawty is having a Crisis
And then watson is like wowww that was cool you wanna spend the night and sherlock is like "UNFORTUNATELY BESTIE I AM BEING FUCKING TRACKED DOWN ID LIKE YOU TO NOT DIE WITH ME"
This bit gave me a Moment Moment because oh my god. Then watson is like "no shut up i'm coming with you i don't care" and i just had to Take A Minute because THEY SWITCHED PLACES AAH SHERLOCK IS TRYING TO KEEP WATSON SAFE NOW AND WATSON IS NOW MORE RECKLESS BC OF HIM AND. AHHHH
Completely random but. How sherlock still refers to 221B as "our rooms" to watson even though watson hasn't lived their in years........ shawty i am emotional.........
SO THEY GODDAMN FLEE THE COUNTRY TOGETHER BC WATSON SAYS THEY HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER AND SHERLOCK HAS A MOMENT WHERE HE'S LIKE YEAH NEVERMIND PLEASE GO HOME WATSON AND WATSON IS JUST LIKE. NO. AND HSERLOCK IS LIKE. DAMN OK I HAVE NEVER HEARD YOU SAY THAT BEFORE
But. Ok as funny as this is. They have this fucking Conversation on the train to switzerland where sherlock is like "I have not lived in vain" and watson is like "YOURE NOT DYING" and hes like "i have not lived in vain. like i said. this will not be a bad way to die" UHHHHHH DAMN SHAWTY
hhhhhh and it just Gets. it. it. it Gets. These fuckers get to switzerland and they stay in a hotel and then leave for reichenbach but watson gets this goddamn letter telling him that hes needed at the hotel to basically save this lady's life. And he doesn't. Like. he doesn't even want to go he's like FUCK IT SHE CAN DIE IM NOT LEAVING YOU but sherlock convinces him to go fULLY KNOWING THE LETTER WAS FUCKING FAKED BY MORIARTY JUST AS A PLOY TO GET HIM ALONE
AND THEN HE JUST. WENT ANYWAY AND WATSON HAD TO WATCH HIM JUST LIKE GODDAMN WALK OFF INTO THE SUNSET LIKE "LITTLE DID I KNOW THIS WOULD BE THE LAST TIME I WOULD SEE HIM BUT IT JUST. IT HAD THAT VIBE YKNOW"
God I just. Wow sherlock really did that huh. He really went and did that. And I went over it in the post about this compared to yuumori but it just RUINED me how watson just. Never saw what happened and there's just so little information about it that all they have is these assumptions and pieces that just suggest that these guys met up, walked up to the goddamn waterfall having a nice civil conversation about how talented and smart they both were at this and how they revealed their methods to each other and complimented them because of course they did
And they just sat up there talking to each other so long and Moriarty legit waited politely or even possibly was the one that suggested he write a letter to watson in which sherlock just went "damn lol moriarty's pretty nice actually anyway uhhhh sorry watson ily ✌" and just like. left it up there in his damn cigarette box
But just like. damn the insinuation that moriarty just sat there and watched while he wrote that entire goddamn letter, sealed it up, and then got up and went alright buddy let's go but it makes no goddamn sense if they wanted to actually kill each other and assure they themselves would survive I could name like 23 different ways they could have managed it so easily and they Didn't. they were really set on mutual destruction huh. There's no way they were even trying to do anything but Die Together at that point and that's Something huh
It absolutely baffles me how they could say that these guys had plummetted like, holding each other tho. Like. ok lol but How Do You Even Know
It was certainly a ride. But the fact that Watson had to actively try to think like Sherlock to figure out what happened in the scene was just. The cherry on top. Especially after they'd consciously started to switch roles in this i just. Damn.
In conclusion uhhhhhhhh gay people real I suppose

The Dave and Dirk log, for obvious reasons, was something I wanted to try very hard to get right. That meant although we drafted it together via msparp, as was our custom, I ended up overhauling it way more than any of our other combo walkaround logs. A few chunks did survive the transfer, though.
In other news, we’ve made a solemn pact to finish TLC over winter break, which is good because I’m running out of bonus content. Hopefully we’ll have some assets to show off soon. I’ve already seen a few; they’re very nice.
DIRK: Hey, dude. You did pretty well out there.
DIRK: Didn't even die once.
DAVE: twice in a day is my max im satisfied with keeping that record
DAVE: even if getting machinegunned is rapidly becoming my "thing"
DIRK: Seems we each have our respective "signature deaths".
DIRK: Or at least it ain't a party until I get decapitated. That sure was something we needed to do again.
DIRK: Just once, for old time's sake.
DAVE: well that puts the nail in the meme coffin
DAVE: any time you panic someones gonna tell you to keep your head on
DAVE: like keeping your hair on except you know that shit aint going anywhere its probably shellaced
DIRK: That shit is bolted to the floor. Did you know I walked around with a girly-ass pink tiara on my head this whole day and had no idea?
DIRK: I had no idea. Couldn't feel a thing.
DIRK: And people let me do that.
DIRK: Can't fuckin' believe it.
DAVE: oh
DAVE: i figured you knew
DIRK: I am less than pleased with my Skaia-ordained divine color scheme.
DIRK: But I guess I have to live with it. It's part of the team aesthetic.
DAVE: you could always change
DIRK: Nah, with the tiara and tights ditched I have at least mitigated the enforced flamboyance. It's bearable.
DIRK: I can't be the one dude out of uniform. Couldn't bear the shame.
DAVE: my outfit is pretty sick ngl
DAVE: sburb knows everyones secret desire is to have a cape
DIRK: Unfortunately, mine isn't long enough to also make for a good tactical maneuver.
DIRK: Not gonna lie, that was pretty funny.
DAVE: if nothing else my attempts at combat can provide a source of humor in our lives
DAVE: but honestly id be fine if my fighting days were over
DAVE: i was never into it
DAVE: rose on the other hand was obviously itching to beat people up
DAVE: one of those 12 year olds who wants to get jumped in an alley to work out her suppressed anger
DIRK: Maybe Skaia did make a few miscalculations in dumping your asses with your respective guardians. I think you'd get along well with Roxy and her cats, make her budget her time away from the alcohol.
DIRK: ...in theory.
DIRK: Rose can go a few rounds with me if she wants, we still need to sort out who has the rights to document our legendary journies.
DAVE: ill plan your funeral
DAVE: what kind of flowers do you want
DIRK: ...there's different kinds?
DAVE: damn thats right you grew up in waterworld
DAVE: these choices matter
DAVE: allegedly theres a thing called "flower language"
DAVE: whether you can actually send someone a boquet telling them to meet you in the pit i dont know
DIRK: Like, I get that, in theory, different kinds of flowers exist. But I fully anticipate any attempt on my part to conjugate in the language of said plants would end in my coffin declaring my hovercraft was indeed full of eels.
DIRK: Maybe it'll have thorns on it. Or it'll be like the sixteen millions tons of green bullshit covering my land and making my nose itch.
DAVE: probably
DIRK: Worst case scenario, I'll pick out something orange and present to a prospective love interest and it'll mean something like "my brotherly passion for you knows no boundaries, and also no homo".
DAVE: my bro wouldnt go for flower arranging
DAVE: or pink tiaras
DAVE: he was pretty uptight about the whole rah rah macho act
DAVE: probably subscribed to alpha males weekly
DAVE: which is weird considering
DAVE: well
DAVE: youre gay right
DIRK: Uh.
DIRK: Well.
DIRK: My symbolic quest land is not covered in green bullshit, but I.
DIRK: Happen to like watching birds, if you know what I mean.
DIRK: Fuck, you probably don't know what that means. Jake and his goddamn thousand euphemisms.
DAVE: cant say i do no
DIRK: Nobody knows what it means but Jake. It's an old time epithet for being into dudes.
DIRK: He knows all the old epithets, including some I suspect he made up.
DAVE: so
DAVE: thats a yes
DAVE: in a roundabout way that includes birds
DIRK: I've never denied it.
DIRK: I'm just.
DIRK: Not a huge fan of the word. Why, in this world post-society, do we need to confine ourselves to labels like "gay"? Such constraints were washed away from my world with the rest of the human race.
DAVE: holy shit that was such a pretentious dodge
DAVE: dont let rose hear you say that
DIRK: Rose can hear all she likes.
DAVE: but anyway
DAVE: i wasnt asking to get up all in your business like SOME PEOPLE
DAVE: who are so into getting into other peoples businesses theyre basically the fucking mafia or the irs
DAVE: but
DAVE: it explains some stuff
DAVE: but on the other hand it doesnt
DAVE: the way you raised me was kinda aggressively mainstream masculine enough that it wasnt something that ever seemed to come up as an option
DAVE: [describe that type of culture and mindset better later, I KNOW what i mean but im tired rn lmao]
DAVE: and anything outside of that id just brush off because it couldnt apply to me
DAVE: and that went for pretty much everything that went against what you wanted for me
DAVE: including that
DIRK: And yet, here the man was, subconsciously shrieking his desire for floppy felt dong through,
DIRK: What I guess you could call his art, for want of any other applicable word at all. God, the mental images are crawling up the insides of my skull like the Exorcist child, do I want to know?
DAVE: probably not
DAVE: guess trying to act peak male has its drawbacks
DAVE: weirdly enough troll culture is obsessively hyperviolent but doesnt give a shit about sexuality
DAVE: they dont see the difference most of the time i guess
DAVE: and so like
DAVE: maybe it rubs off on you because in some ways that kind of makes sense
DAVE: but after so long its hard to know what i feel and what it means because i spent so long ignoring it
DAVE: so i guess i was wondering
DAVE: if you had anything that might help with that
DAVE: or if youre also trapped in this whirling screaming maelstrom of bullshit
DAVE: while kinsey sits in the eye of the storm laughing
DIRK: Wait, wait, wait.
DIRK: You're coming to me.
DIRK: For advice.
DIRK: Do you know what a laughable hurricane of disaster my interpersonal life has been?
DIRK: Like, in a weird way, I'm kind of honored, especially since about five hours ago you were scared shitless to be around me, but.
DIRK: I'm standing here and waving my credentials in the air just to display how I don't fucking have any. My degree is a sham and my hands are empty except for a crudely scribbled on piece of construction paper.
DAVE: are you suggesting theres a gay university
DAVE: where you study bird watching
DIRK: Do I look like a man who's been to college?
DAVE: fair
DAVE: but like
DAVE: your friends know
DAVE: how did you broach the subject there
DIRK: I might as well have been dating a Yoko Ono for the devastation it wreaked on our friend group, so yeah, it was a little hard to ignore.
DIRK: Compounded by the fact some smartass from Gay University was using my social circle for romance geometry homework.
DIRK: It wasn't even a love triangle so much as a love roundabout.
DAVE: ok but thats just because you were a dipshit not a gay dipshit
DAVE: they were chill about the first part right
DIRK: Thanks.
DIRK: I mean... Roxy always seemed disappointed.
DAVE: luckily i dont think anyones waiting in line for me
DAVE: i guess im blowing it out of proportion
DAVE: i dont think anyone will MIND
DAVE: no one did about rose and kanaya
DAVE: didnt even question the vampire bit which goes to show what our lives are like these days
DAVE: like ok our outfit has vampires now
DAVE: thats a thing that we have
DAVE: if i say oh hey i might be bisexual theyll just say sure pull up a chair at the acronym table
DAVE: the only one who might be weird about it is john
DAVE: but hed be just as weird if i told him id changed my favorite color hes just like that
DAVE: the only person its really a big deal for is me
DIRK: Jane was a little bit like that. I'm pretty sure the only reason she had to object was because she found out the day I made a move on her crush.
DIRK: It might just be growing up in a household where you're not regularly fighting for your life, and thus what genders are kissing whom has the space to be higher on your priority list.
DAVE: that aint anyones priority these days
DAVE: im prepared to acknowledge the concept that hey maybe everyone elses lives dont revolve around me and my personal drama or self revelations might have some merit at least as a hypothesis
DAVE: when i met kid english he kept going on about how i was the most important person and everyone else was side characters
DAVE: and maybe ive acted like that sometimes
DIRK: Yeah, like you alone are the one responsible for everyone around you.
DAVE: and maybe ive acted like i think that way too sometimes
DAVE: ive been wrong about people
DAVE: people i care about people i shouldve known better
DAVE: i was wrong because i wanted to believe things that matched how i wanted the world to be
DAVE: things that made it easier for the story i was telling myself
DAVE: i dont think kid english meant to call me on it but damn
DIRK: Reality is, after all, something we construct for ourselves.
DIRK: I think maybe I knew that all along when I surfaced for air inbetween shoving my head as far up my ass as it would go.
DIRK: Or maybe that's just what I try to tell myself in hindsight.
DAVE: well if it takes a hyperactive 12 year old version of the final bosss creepy hero worship of me to make a point i guess thats not the least subtle way the universe has sent me a message lately
DIRK: You want unsubtle? Let me tell you about my damn planet quest.
DAVE: haha
DAVE: i didnt have to do much of my quest because im invisible
DAVE: thanks mom
DIRK: My denizen practically sat me down like it was my life coach and growled in my ear about improving my communication skills with a guy I told to go fuck himself not eighteen hours prior.
DIRK: So while I'm glad SBURB has a vested interest in me repairing my friendships, playing electroshock death DDR with him was a little on the nose.
DAVE: maybe getting shot again wasnt that bad
DAVE: so weve all learned our life lessons good job team
DIRK: Exactly. Can we wrap this up now? Can we please go rest?
DIRK: I'm so exhausted I haven't even noticed I'm still hungover.
DAVE: sure thing
DAVE: but if i need tips on leaping out of a closet to intimidate passerby i might text you
DIRK: I mean, I can try. As long as you don't ask me for dating tips. That, I definitely shouldn't be helping you with.
DIRK: Go talk to your sister for that.
DIRK: ...wouldn't she, by the transitive property of siblings, also be my sister?
DAVE: yeah i guess
DAVE: but theres no way in hell im asking rose for dating advice
DAVE: on her first date which she refused to admit was romantically oriented she got wasted in anticipation forgot to show up and then fell down the stairs
DIRK: Oh my god.
DAVE: she tries to look like shes got her shit together but its a lie
DAVE: if you find my corpse floating on lolar in the next few hours dont let the truth die with me
DIRK: Why are we like this?
DIRK: Is there actually something hardwired into our DNA that predisposes us to being disasters?
DIRK: But, that aside.
DIRK: I won't object if it's me you come to talk to.
DAVE: ill hold you to it
DAVE: and if you ever want to publicly you admit you
DAVE: "enjoy birdwatching"
DAVE: in less vague and evasive terms
DAVE: ill have your back
DIRK: Thanks.

DETAILS: PINK PAJAMA SET | LACE BRA | ALSO GOT THESE MATCHING PANTIES
We’re baaack! We had such an amazing time in the Dominican Republic celebrating mine and Mara’s birthdays. Thank you all for your sweet birthday wishes – they totally made my day! It’s funny the older you get, the things you enjoy spending money on chance, your perspectives change, life changes. It’s weird though because mentally I still feel in my early 20’s a lot of times, and then it will hit me that I’m not that age anymore! I don’t know if that even makes sense lol – anyone else relate? But I have to admit, I really love my 30s. (I’m 33 for those who have asked) – these have been the best years! Anywayyyy in reflecting on my age, I realized the things I spent my money on in my 20s is so different in my 30s. I thought it would be fun to share some of the buys that have changed with age.
1. Comfy PJ’s: If you’re anything like me you love to lounge around in cozy pajamas. The second I get home from work, 99.5% of the time I’m stripping down and changing into my comfy clothes! I also work from home a lot so comfort is key! I’ve realized that it’s so work it to spend a little more on high quality pajama sets that will literally last forever. I just got these Thirdlove pajamas and I’m obsessed! They are so soft and as soon as you put them on you’ll fall in love. They come in three colors but you guys know I’m a sucker for pink so of course I picked that color.
2. Good Books: Ok if I’m totally honest, it’s more like cute decor books. I love looking for new coffee table books or pretty books for our shelves. When it comes to actual reading, I feel like maybe i save money now because I get books on tape and Audible.
3. My Skincare Routine: I can’t say this enough, but it’s never too early to invest in good skincare products. I didn’t really start to focus on my skin until I hit my 30’s, well maybe late 20’s – but now I’m definitely making up for lost time and it’s one thing that I always invest in.
4. Candles: Candles, candles, candles! I have been going through a major candle phase lately – nothing makes a house feel more like a home than a good scent! Whether an investment to you is $10 or $100, it will make all the difference in your home (not to mention it double as decor!).
5. Pretty Lingerie: Nothing beats feeling comfy and feminine at the same time. You guys know I love my sweats and tees, but there’s something about good lingerie underneath that makes you feel confident no matter what you’re wearing on top. I just got this pretty two-tone bra (also got the matching panties) and am obsessed! I’ll usually find any excuse to ditch my bra, but that’s not the case with this one – it’s so comfy!
Thirdlove is one of the only companies I know of that will let you try out one of their bras for 30 days completely free! If you’re unsure which fit would be right for you they also have a fit finder quiz here.
What are some of the things you guys have started investing in? Below are a few more pretty lingerie pieces and pajamas I’m loving!
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + '://' + 'widgets.rewardstyle.com' + '/js/shopthepost.js';d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') {window.__stp.init();}}(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script');
