#sheriarty superiority

[consult-sherlockholmes]

I have the perfect way to cure your little problem, Sherlock. To never concern yourself with the dull and simple again.

You owe me a favour after our little deal, anyway. And I can hint; Aren't you ever so lonely with John out of the picture?

I can solve all these problems that seem to just pile up, Sherlock. All of them.

Just tell me, Sherlock, would you accept this-me? Would you marry me?

Become my partner in crime, Sherlock. We'll throw crushed up pretzels at our wedding, rather rice. So romantic, and fitting.

Just one easy thing, and it's all yours.

I'm all yours.

You are right, I despise the dull and the simple. And you are the only person who isn't dull or simple. You are the exception. I am you. You are me. We are both prepared to do anything, not on the side of the angels. We are equals, mentally and intellectually. No one else would be able to keep up with me, keep me intellectually engaged, except you. You are the only one. You know me so well, asking me the question no one else dared to ask, taking action.

You are making me the happiest consulting detective in the world. I think you already know my answer, it's quite obvious. Of course I want to be partners in crime solving.

If Sheriarty is going down, I'm going down with it. If Sheriarty is the most hated ship in the world, then I'll still ship it. Sheriarty superior.

i've just realized that my favourite ships are basically all different variations of the enemies to lovers™ trope:

enemies to lovers

enemies to friends to lovers

friends to enemies to lovers

friends to lovers to enemies to frenemies

friends to lovers to enemies to frenemies and sometimes friends, lovers AND enemies all at the same time

SEND ME A QUESTION REGARDING MY MUSE.

13. What about your muse makes you sad?

I’ve already sort of covered what makes me emotional about Jamie here, so, for the sake of not repeating myself, I’m going to talk about Jamielock (A.K.A. Sheriarty). This is stepping into canon territory, with spoilers, so mind how you go! So, Elementary’s take on the over 100 year old ship of Moriarty and Holmes is fascinating. Disregarding spoilers for a second, and just talking about how Jamie and Sherlock relate to each other, it really is tragic. They are each other’s only intellectual equals, the only people, as Jamie says, that they can really talk to. But they are separated by a wide gulf of empathy. Jamie has spent her entire life thinking she’s alone, intellectually, only to find that there is someone else out there who sees everything she does, who might just be an intellectual sparring partner. Her loneliness never bothered her (the way it seems to have bothered Sherlock), but now she has the potential of someone who is her equal? She’s fascinated. And so, imagine her disappointment when she finds what a disappointment he is. Not only is he shackled by empathy to the point of it being a burden to him, but he is so deeply emotive that he turns to drug use to escape from those feelings. Jamie is disappointed in Sherlock, but she can’t quite bring herself to withdraw completely from him, and that’s her ultimate downfall. She’s not sure if what she feels is love, or some stunted version of it, because she’s had no experience with the emotion, but she’s afraid that it is, because that’s something she’s supposed to have cast aside as a useless emotion, which serves no grand purpose at all. She’s determined to make him see the world the way she does, because she believes her viewpoint is superior, but he ultimately ends up getting inside her head instead, affecting her decisions, she says, “in the strangest of ways”. And that is so sad, because she rails against his influence on principle. She’s incapable of the kind of transformation he wants her to undergo. It’s beyond her. And that is so darn tragic.

TJLC is not a ship.

 TJLC ≠ Johnlock

It is a conspiracy theory and therefore open to as much criticism as can be thrown at it. It is not on the same level as Sherlolly, Sheriarty, Mystrade, Adock etc. It hangs out in the same ball park as 'I don't believe we landed on the Moon and Elvis is still alive'. If I can criticise those ideas, I can criticise TJLC. It is not protected by Tumblr ethics towards shipping and I don't have to respect your conspiracy theory - especially given the tremendous harm and damage it is doing not only to those outside of the community but also to those within the community who can't seem to see the clear signs of confirmation bias, indoctrination and messiah/superiority complex.

SHERIARTY

MY SPEECH AND DEBATE COACH SAID SHE SHIPPED SHERIARTY JSKDKDKKWD I SHIP JOHNLOCK BUT I LIKE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN I DO AND INTERPRET THINGS DIFFERENTLY + she said Moriarty is villainized with a sexual charisma (which is like obvious) but it's fun to see adults that are your "superior" in school talk to you about shippings and fandom. AHH THATS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL
