Note

I really love your writing and noticed your asks are open (i think). And, I checked your masterlist and didn't see RE8 listed as a universe you write for, so you can ignore this if you want. But, could I request Heisenberg, Donna, and Lady Dimitrescu reacting to a male dragon-shifter reader who has decided to make the character's residence their hoard, and as such, going to extreme lengths to protect them and the residence?

OOOHHH 😮😳 How did you know dragons (and by extent dragon shifters) are my favourite things in the whole wide world!!!!!

As a treat, you get all four of the Lords' reactions. 😎

For extra drama, the dragon-shifter (you) basically crash land nearby (after a loooooonnnngggg flight) and decide to take up residence in the nearest abode while you rest, and end up getting comfortable and liking the area so decide to stay.

You have a full human form, fully dragon form, and an in-between form.

Also, you have like saintly levels of patience.

Heisenberg

It takes him a minute of staring to figure out that the giant dragon in the factory, is not a hallucination, induced by either the drinking he was doing the night prior, or a trick of Mother Miranda's trying to destabilize him mentally.

However this quickly turns into a lot of yelling "what the F are you doing in my factory!" and "What the F are you!" while chucking metal at you.

You melt the more dangerous pieces and yell at him to "Cease this nonsense! You can't hurt me like this."

Heisenberg.exe has stopped working.

He's partially re-evaluating his life like...did I just get sassed by a giant lizard.

You take the initiative to tell the small angry man telekinetically chucking metal around to chill. "Listen, I'm just going to rest here a few days then leave. You leave me alone, and I won't Incinerate you."

He quickly weighs up how much he doesn't want you here vs how much it will piss Mother Miranda off if he uses the giant dragon crash landing in his factory as an excuse to do absolutely nothing for her.

He's a bit annoyed about you taking up all the room by the forges so he can't make new soldats but...

Hate for Miranda wins!

He actually uses this as an excuse in his next report and Mother Miranda comes to 'get rid of the problem herself since Heisenberg cannot'...you almost incinerated her and she checked out. (He's putting that down as one of the best days of his life).

Since he now has nothing better to do he either leans on a nearby balcony or stands on a floating gear and starts trying to get your attention.

Will ask you everything from your name and where you came from to your favourite colour and if you have a specific favourite scale on your body.

You're distrustful and annoyed at first but soon warm up to this obviously lonely man.

You get so comfortable you decide you just might never leave.

The first time you feel comfortable enough to shift back to your human form Heisenberg is like (o_o) hot person! Two for one deal, annoying Mother Miranda plus Eye Candy!!!!

Makes a joke about having you turn into your dragon form again so he can keep making excuses to Mother Miranda. Which gets you curious and you ask about her, and he explains about the cadou, the experiments, and what she did to him.

He will make a bunk for you, so he can get back to work and you can stay near the heat of the forges, (absorbing the energy from the flames speeds up recovery and/or keeps you charged at 100% so you're always ready to burn a b1tch...specifically Miranda).

You both talk about whatever while he works. Lots of late night chats. One time he accidentally doused the forges and you just blew into the chamber and they re-lit immediately. (Mechanical Heart Eyes)

Since you start considering the entire factory to be your hoard, sometimes you claim a random object as your specific favourite piece for the day, maybe one of his tools or a specific piece of scrap. If he needs to use it, you won't let him and a small argument can be had. A solution is soon found though, you can't have a conflict of interest if your favourite item is him.

When you protect him, he's super flattered and hypes you up.

Cue him on the sides cheering you on.

If you two have started dating he will definitely yell "that's my boyfriend!" and gush about you to whoever happens to be standing next to him. (Bonus points if it's any of the other Lords. Especially Miranda, she is dying!)

Definitely makes a sign saying 'Beware of Dragon' to put on the fence.

Sometimes you jump to his defence even when he's in the middle of handling the threat. He gets huffy, saying he can take care of himself. You respond by telling him you won't let anything harm what's yours and once again, Heisenberg.exe is experiencing an error.

Alcina Dimitrescu

She is absolutely dismayed and angry at the giant lizard that barged its way through the doors and took up residency in her hall. It's tracking in mud and snow, burned the curtains, and took a good chunk of the wall, (letting in the cold).

Her daughters can't handle the cold, damn you!

Tries to fight you...fails. Turns out she's not immune to incineration and loses quite a few limbs (they grow back...eventually).

When she sees you shift to your human form, she's doubly-incensed...not only did you barge into her home but your also a D I S G U S T I N G M A N T H I N G !

You shift back whenever she tries to kill you so eventually she just gives up. (According to her she's waiting for the right opportunity NOT giving up.)

Wants to kill you, calls Mother Miranda for help and well, the same thing happens if you had crashed in the factory...she checks out!

Refuses to leave the castle for any reason, she's not leaving you along with her daughters.

Resigns herself to yelling insults at you from the balcony.

You respond in kind and it slowly devolves into a competition to come up with the most creative insults.

Your dragon form radiates heat...like...a lot. (Even counteracting the cold coming through the hole in the wall, which you attempted to fix.) This of course attracts the Dimitrescu daughters to the hall (against their mother's will).

If Alcina sees you lying their in dragon from, her three hive-mind children chattering away happily with you encouraging their curiosity, (Bela is half-asleep by your side, Daniela is complimenting your claws and asking about your bone structure, while Cassandra proudly proclaims her mother's are better than yours), she partly reconsiders her stance on you being a filthy, horrible, disgusting lizard man thing to just a filthy lizard man thing.

Seriously, your filthy, take a bath.

You quite enjoy all the little luxuries that can be found in the castle and decide to stay. Alcina almost shreds her hat in exasperation.

You get more comfortable and she starts to tolerate your presence, although she will take a swipe at you if she thinks she has a chance at killing you in your human form.

Jokes on her you can partially change and still fit through the hallways.

You never told her you've claimed the castle and the Dimitrescu family as your hoard but she does notice you being oddly friendly to her and she is "suspicious!"

You've met a few vampires and have a few suggestions for a more sustainable food source (buying blood donations from villagers instead of killing them). She's skeptical but considers it.

The first time you defend her is actually against Mother Miranda...over the phone. You have sharp hearing...and you don't like what you're hearing.

She's both flattered you would defend her so, and disgusted with herself for accepting a man thing's help.

When she realises she likes having you around, she starts to rationalise to herself that you're not just any man thing, you're her dragon man thing and therefore okay.

Gets more comfortable with leaving you with her daughters. You treat them well and keep them entertained?! That's a free babysitter if ever she's seen one.

When she sees the more extreme lengths you will go to protect the castle and her family, she is impressed and flattered and a little scared, and acts like it was her idea to have you stay.

"Oh, haven't you heard, that's the Dimitrescu Dragon."

Definitely rubs it in Heisenberg's face that she has a dragon and he doesn't.

Donna Beneviento

What are you!?!?!

To protect Donna, Angie is ready to fight you or die trying!

Just kind off avoids you and sends the pollen at you to make you leave.

The only one of the four Lords most likely to actually defeat you.

When you speak though, telling her to "release (your) mind, witch, or (you'll) incinerate everything", she's surprised and scared enough to actually do so.

Asks if you'll be her friend. Angie is cussing you out.

You see how scared and lonely she is and just *adoption mode activated*.

You only need to rest a few days, why not do so on friendly terms with your host. (keep telling yourself that).

It takes a day for you to shift to human form, partially because you don't want to have your measurements taken because Donna wants to make you a giant bonnet, (You reason it's a waste of resources, you'll only be here a short while).

Jokes on you, this is your home now.

You've never hoarded dolls before, but there's a first time for everything.

You will spend most of your time in human form since your dragon form kinda scares her.

Even though she's still scared of it, Donna does find your dragon form interesting and will ask to sketch you (from a distance...no fire please).

Make various over-exaggerated poses and joke about "draw me like one of your french girls" and she will laugh, (even though she doesn't get the joke).

She makes a plush doll of you. It turns inside out to shift between human and dragon.

The first time you protect her, she's scared. The flames take her straight back to her childhood, she's crying and she hides. You shift back to human form very quickly and find her, holding her close and apologising for scaring her over and over.

Will tear a man apart in human form to avoid this (or almost human form).

She slowly works up to being comfortable in your dragon form, the first time she falls asleep against your side is a good day.

You start insisting on accompanying her to meetings and escorting her whenever she has to meet another Lord. They start talking sh1t, they get hit (or burned...you let Donna choose).

Angie cheers you on.

Salvatore Moreau

He is terrified of you when you first show up.

You basically tear your way into the mines for shelter and he is frantically plugging the entrance to his home with the enzyme to hide.

Calls for "mother" to save him and that's how you find him.

You see this small deformed fish man crying in the mine and think, "i'm not gonna ask."

You settle in the slightly larger chamber and just lie down for a rest.

He soon realises your not going to attack him and ventures out to stare at you. He just keeps staring at you for like an uncomfortably long time, peeking around a doorway.

Eventual you snap and ask him to stop staring.

He slowly comes out of hiding and starts asking the basics.

"You can talk?" "Who are you?" "Why are you here?"

Seeing no reason not to, you tiredly answer all his questions.

Hearing about your long journey has him curiously asking about the places you've been to.

He quickly figures out you must have some sort of human form since you end up on the topics of favourite foods or movies and your favourites are all distinctly human. (He's the fastest at figuring this out and the least surprised when you shift).

Terrifying (hideous) creature going through an unnerving transformation into a humanoid form...he can relate. Although he's slightly jealous of how 'normal' you look when you shift to human form.

You two have a movie night where he proudly shows of his collection. It is in the middle of him analysing the context of THAT ONE SCENE that you decide, Yes...This one is mine.

The entire reservoir and mine is your territory and if anything comes anywhere near it they will be ash in 30 seconds.

When you protect him from danger, he's shocked that someone cares enough about him to f-ing incinerate a lycan for even looking at him weirdly.

You act like its natural and eventually he starts to get used to you.

Has self doubt and questions your motives...you tell him he's worth it or that he's your jewel.

C O N F I D E N C E B O O S T

Starts talking back to the other Lords when they insult him. It's easy with you hovering menacingly behind him, veins glowing with barely contained R A G E.

One source of friction however, is the fact that he doesn't like that you keep trying to kill Mother Miranda and he will latch onto you sobbing until you agree to spare her (for now...you'll get her when he's not around).

However, the longer you two know each other, the more self-confidence he gains and the more you talk through what Mother Miranda did to him and why he deserves better, (pointing out her manipulation, analyses whether she's ever 'cared' about him, etc...), the less bothered he gets. (Give it a few years, he'll cheer you on alongside Heisenberg).

Bonus:

The second you see Mother Miranda...it is on sight. (Especially if you know what she did to the Lords).

Cue you shifting to dragon form and preparing to unleash a volley of flame, "I smell the blood of children on you."

You may be comfortable(ish) with the actions of your housemate but you have STANDARDS.

Alright 😊 Hoped you like these headcanons, jaychirps. They were really fun to write and grew quite a bit. 😅

(I feel like Moreau's a bit ooc but I don't know enough about him to dispute that claim....)

Oh and p.s. ... asks are open.

The Galley-Slaves’ Lament

EDIT: I realized that I mistranslated et point d’cravatte - I’ll update that now.

So I went down a rabbit hole the other day, and I found the lyrics (in French) for a song that was sung by the galley slaves of France (early/mid 1800s). I found two versions - one had verses 1, 2, 3, and 5 (I think) and the other had verses 1, 2, 4, and 5. I combined it all together and ran it through Google Translate. Thought I’d share the results.

Translation:

The chain: it's hail, but it's equal. It does no harm.

Our clothes are scarlet. We wear instead of hats caps and stock point. (orignally caps and no tie before I realized my mistake) * It made a brush for the frills**. (see notes - special translation) (my alternative: Our bristles are lace // It makes brushes our neckpiece)

We would be wrong to complain. We are spoiled children and it's fear of losing us that we are held in chains.

When the time comes to stuff your stomach, forward the beans! It's not good, but it gets in - everything like the best stew.

Our curse would have been worse if, like pretty cadets, we were made shorter at the Abbey of Mount Regret.

Original:

La Chaîne ç'est la grêle mais c'est égal c'a ne fait pas d'mal

nos habit sont écarlate nous portons au lieu d'chapeaux des bonnets et point d'cravatte C'a fait brosse pour les jabots.

nous aurions tort de nous plaindre nous sommes des enfans gâtés et c'est crainte de nous perdre que l'on nous tient enchaînés

quand vient l'heur' de s'bourrer l'ventre en avant les haricots! Ca n'est pas bon, mais ça entre Tout comm' le meilleur fricot.

Notr' guignon eût été pire si, comme de jolis cadets on nous eût fait raccourcire a l'abbaye d'Monte-à-regret

Notes:

I find it interesting that they chose hail - as in the ice that falls from the sky - for the first stanza. A thing that comes down and beats upon you, I suppose. “The chain” refers to the line of prisoners who were bound together by a physical chain. Okay, so grêle has turned out to be a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. The first guess was “hail,” supported by a quick google search and a quick plug into a translator. Then I started looking at alternate meanings and saw that it has some interesting etymology. Honestly? I’ll make a separate textpost about grêle because it’s kinda cool. Some other notes about grêle - it can mean “pockmarked,” “slender/spindly/delicate,” “high-pitched and without resonance” (like a thin voice), “hail,” or “something that falls like hail” (ex. a hail of bullets, a volley). Hail, however, is the most common modern meaning of the word. (grêlon, for example, is the direct and only translation of “hailstone.”)

c'a ne fait pas d'mal literally means “it does not do badness” or “it did not do of bad,” but the meaning is a bit more complex. From what I can tell, an approximate translation would be somewhere between “it cannot be harmful,” “it doesn’t do any harm,” and “it couldn’t hurt.” The original translation result from Google was “it didn’t hurt,” which I feel implies a physical pain in this context. It seems to be more of a saying - something like “Ça ne fait pas de mal d'essayer” means “it doesn’t hurt to try.”

* et point d’cravatte was mistranslated at first. Google provided two possible translations - “and no tie” and “and tie point.” Since searching “tie point” got me nothing but pictures of ties, I just threw my hands up, said “French is weird,” and moved on. A more accurate translation is now reflected above: “and stock point.” A stock point is a small piece of metal that was used to hold a cravat or a stock in place during the day. (A stock, in this context, is basically a detachable, upturned shirt collar.) Analogous is a tie pin or a hatpin. Here, I believe that it references the iron collar that the convicts wore - specifically the iron pin/s that held the two halves of the collar together.

** Jabot is a word in both French and English. In French, it can mean either the crop of a bird (as in the digestive pouch in the esophagus) or the shared meaning, which is a type of neckwear. The neckwear (a piece of ruffled lace or cloth) became popular in the 1650s and lasted well into the Victorian era for both men and women. By the Edwardian era, however, jabots were smaller and primarily worn by women. For the alternative line, I switched some stuff around (ex. cravate vs jabot) to get a better feel for the meaning. What I believe it’s saying here is a joke by the bagnards that their coarse and lopsided facial hair acted like a fine man’s lace.

Guignon has no good direct translation, but it roughly means “persistent bad luck.” I chose to replace it with “curse” for a meaning that carries a similar connotation. “Misfortune” could also work. Similarly, fricot has a couple meanings. Directly, it means “roughly cooked food.” It is synonymous with rata, which is “coarse stew served to soldiers” and/or “bad food poorly prepared.” Another synonym is frichiti, which is a cooked mean of generally poor quality.

The root/infinitive of raccourcire is raccourcir, which means “to shorten.” This specifically seems to mean to make an item shorter - the examples given for the translation are “this skirt has shortened in the wash” and “shorten a dress.” When I was first figuring this translation out, I thought it meant to shorten one’s lifespan; I realized the joke once I dug a little deeper. “Monte-à-regret“ means “mountain of regret,” and the phrase as a whole (l'abbaye d'Monte-à-regret) is a term for the guillotine.

I also added some punctuation to the translation - the original is left as-is. This includes c vs ç - everything is left as it was written. Er, actually, it seems I missed a couple letters. I went ahead and fixed that

#les miserables #galley slaves #if you speak French please help me #napoleonic era #french revolution #toulon #songs #rough french translations #bagne #valjean had a bad time #random research rabbit hole #jabots are really cool and honestly ngl I kinda miss them #song translation #I don't have the tune though #les mis #1800s France and French #gallows humor

Flora of Horizon Zero Dawn - freeze rime root part 1: sketching the real and the unreal

Hello lovely people, we’re on to plant no. 2 in my Horizon Zero Dawn (HZD) video game botany collaboration with Dr Maria Christodoulou… Freeze rime root, which we’ll describe from the perspective of a Carja archivist.

For anyone who missed it, our first HZD plant was medicinal valley’s blush and you can see all the artwork and find links to our research on it here.

OK. Onwards to freeze-rime...

Freeze rime root & Colorado blue columbine

This plant is one of HZD’s most recognisable as closely resembling a present-day species. The game is set in Colorado, and freeze rime root is a dead ringer for Aquilegia caerulea, aka Colorado blue columbine or rocky mountain columbine.

Blue columbine by Rob Duval - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=29940845

Our fictional plant is common in all habitats and is used to craft freeze resist potions. Which means Maria and I can mess about making up fun/fiendish plant properties here - because it doesn’t need to be safe to eat! Potions could be used in multiple ways e.g. applied externally to skin or painted onto armor (not that Maria holds back on the edible plants… She did make medicinal valley’s blush laxative in high quantities after all.)

With my pharmacologist hat on, real columbines contain a variety of interesting compounds such as lactones, saponins, flavinoids, and various fatty acid-derivatives. Some of these have medicinal properties that could be relevant for our imaginary plant, e.g. effects on skin. Others have effects on insects that we could extrapolate to being useful for freeze rime root survival. So there’s some ready-made biochemistry we can play with.

With my artist hat on, these plants also have very distinctive flower and leaf shapes that I’m curious to try drawing in the style of a Carja archivist - especially given the stylised motifs we see in Carja architecture and fabrics in the city of Meridian. All of the win then? We shall see...

Aquilegia caerulea specimen from Colorado College Carter Herbarium (COCO), catalogue number COCO-V-0010526 via SEINet

Where do I start?

My first job art-wise is to work out how Aquilegia caerulea is built. I live in the UK so it’s no surprise that I haven’t seen A. caerulea in the wild. Thankfully the internet exists, and online herbarium resources from around the world are available. The specimen image above is one of many I can access.

We also have wild columbine species in the UK I can look at, and some grow among the many ‘weeds’ I cultivate in my back yard - common columbine or granny’s bonnet, A. vulgaris, and probably dark columbine, A. atrata, to be specific. I say ‘probably’ there because they’re not readily distinguishable from each other, but what matters is that they give me a better idea of leaf/flower/seed head structure for this genus of plants.

Leaves of a wild columbine growing in my back yard

WTF, buttercup??

That’s basically the first comment in my notes about this plant. When Maria told me columbines are in the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), I said ‘what the fuck – it’s a BUTTERCUP?!??’ Maria had to botany-splain leaf patterns to convince me, but actually you can see the resemblance when you look at buttercup vs. columbine leaf structure. (I’m still renaming columbines to ‘what-the-fuck buttercup’ in my notes though, heh.) Columbine leaves are subdivided into lobed leaflets.

The flowers have lots of fluffy stamens, 5 tube-like petals with a long spur ending in a nectar reservoir (accessible only to pollinators with long tongues), and 5 petal-like sepals. The seed heads have several sections containing small black seeds.

One of my first sketchbook pages on freeze rime root - I can’t believe it’s a buttercup. (Aquilegia vulgare is a common misspelling, btw. I’m common, what can I tell you.)

Leaf details

The particular what-the-fuck buttercup species we’re looking at have biternate/2-ternate leaves. In ternate leaves, the leaf stem divides into 3 so that the leaf is made of 3 leaflets. In a biternate leaf, each of those leaflets is further divided into 3. Below are some illustrations of that, and there’s also a nice look at Aquilegia biternate and triternate leaf shapes here

One of my notes on ternate leaves. Try not to think about my spelling.

Ternate pressed meadow buttercup leaves –diagram of a biternate leaf – a single biternate Aquilegia vulgaris leaf in my back yard. (Biternate compound leaf diagram by Wasp32 - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=49634190)

There are differences between leaves on my local columbine A. vulgaris and Colorado’s A. caerulea, visible even to a non-botanist like me. The leaflets are more deeply grooved, and (at least in the herbarium specimen images I’ve looked at) seem narrower and less rounded. I’ll leave it to Maria to torment/inform me more on the proper technical description for that though.

Aquilegia caerulea specimen showing leaf structure with deeply grooved leaflets, from the Rocky Mountain Herbarium (RM), catalogue number 905181 via SEINet

Flower details

The flower petal spurs on A. caerulea are long and straight, unlike the curly spurs on A. vulgaris. This is apparently a product/driver of the plant’s relationship with pollinators. A. vulgaris is pollinated by long-tongued bees, and A. caerulea has a HAWKMOTH POLLINATOR aaaaay you knew I’d get moths in here somewhere, right? I doubt Maria will let me sneak in another imaginary moth just yet, but just so you know; A. caerulea loves moths.

Another sketchbook page on how Colorado blue columbine and Freeze rime root compare to each other

Enough of the real plant, what about Freeze rime root?

Aloy enjoying some quality botanising time

There are some noticeable differences between our fictional flowering plant and the present-day analogue, and you can see some below – the flowers are deeper purple, the petal spur tips are remarkably pointy, and the stamens look like cartoon hair that has just been electrocuted. The leaves are also quite rounded, more akin to my familiar local columbine.

How would we describe that and why might that be? Maria’s next post will fill you in on that, so stay tuned for a link which I’ll post here. She’ll be explaining how she looks at freeze rime root to write a formal scientific description, the next step before finding her inner Carja archivist voice.

December 13, (Sunday), 2020: 3:51 (Windsor)

There is no Russia.

There are no Russians.

Dues paid in full, SAG Card in good standing.

===================================

3:59 pm:

Other, unrelated Russian bullshit from Britain:

Real quick: There are Ford 351 Cubic Inch Displacement V-8 Motors. You can get those inside of old classic Ford cars & trucks, some are “351 Windsor”, some are “351 Cleveland”, both “Windsor”, and “Cleveland”, are words suitable for fighting over, are verbal weapons, put the two words together, and you have a nitrous gas weapon that cuts when you swing it. Put it in a car, and it goes fast as it cuts, aspirated with 4-Bbbl Holley.

I don’t know what the design characteristic differences are between Cleveland and Windsor 351 cubic inch displacement V-8 motors.

The key to starts each motor, seems to be on the helm of a boat, one that weighs less than the water it displaces, which is the reason the boat floats.

HMS Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

A Boat.

FLOTUS

Weighs less than the water it displaces. We have a new FLOTUS Boat in port right now, shiny, all cleaned up, refurbished older classic model, one that already has seen some battles on the High See’s. (is also trending on Twitter last night, WSJ says use of “Dr.” written on the hull is no good for new, old, FLOTUS)

There is also a Dodge 318 Cubic Inch Displacement V-8 Motor that comes to mind. You can get those in the classic Chrysler products. There is a old 318, pre-1964, and there is a new 318, after 1964.

1964 is Beatles British Invasion. (Russia).

I do know some of the design differences between Old 318 and New 318.

Maybe is better to say “USA 318″ for the old one, vs “British Chinese Hong-Kong Knock-Off Russian Mother Hoax 318″, for the new one.

Old 318 is narrow V angle from the crank center to the outer wings of the V shape on the heads, where the valve’s are controlled from the cam, below them. The Valve timing must be adjusted manually at the valve guide rocker arm tappets gap to specifications and service limits.

New 318 is wide-angle V shape from crank center to outer wing heads of the V shape. There is no valve timing adjustment, necessary, or possible on New 318. All is done with some kind of Amp Guru magic wand for making the valve’s work, somehow, is a mystery, no way to control the timing of the valves anymore, is automatic, comes from the Martinizer or something, secret knowledge, was wiz-bang high tech, no one talked about how come the 318 works so good without need for scheduled valve adjustment maintenance.

“That because they are Hydrolic Tappets” says auto mechanic guru when I ask questions.

“Ok... Hydrolic ones. That explains it then, thank you” I reply, knowing stepped in some kind of slippery slope only leads to the ground from there.

New 318 is much wider than it’s dead brother who ran out of Valve Timing Adjustment, needs more lateral room to fit it’s fat ass in under the bonnet (used to be a hood, I think is a bonnet now, see Jon Bonnet Ramsey areas of Russian Hoax Mother, maybe is more about that over there.). They call it “The Wedge” because of the wide-angle of the orientation of the shape of the engine block and heads. Intake Manifold is HUGE for those. (try a Weiand 4 bbl high-rise with Holley carburetors... experiment with different ones. it’s 1965. so, see what works, then report back to AutoMechanic Guru... Mr. GoodWrench. One time I put a Rochester Carburetor onto a 1969 Toyota Corona... it worked good. I don‘t know how come the thing fit on there, it just did, so, I hooked up some linkage, and off to the rodeo, for about 4 years with that. no problems. Later on, I put a 1986 nissan motor into a 1974 Datsun truck. There were some problems, had to make it fit, the fan kept going through the radiator, had to start over, but the motor I bought was new fangled computer operated motor... I did not get that part.... only the motor. Everyone says: “you need the computer part, it’s never going to work.” I said “go fuck off with your Lego’s, this thing has spark plugs, a distributor, is fuel injected. All it needs is some fuel and some air, it’s going to work without the computer part” and that is what happened. It worked without the computer part, and, it worked real good.)

Just some things to think about while Jill Biden is floating around with last minute hull dressings choices to decide what to call the HMS Boat she is riding on.

4:40 plus 8 pm.

============================================

5:38 pm: Walmart visit at the “Nightmare Before Elm Street” event from Friday or whenever that was:

My memory is returning some small details about things that happened there.

The Guillotine was there, I remember now, it was there on the way in, and on the way out too.

Looks like it’s part of the door.

You cannot see the guillotine. They put so much distraction, that even if you look right at it, you still don‘t know it’s a guillotine.

Mostly, it’s because we have been programmed and conditioned since we were children that there are no guillotines at the Walmart as you go in. So, mostly, that’s why we can‘t see the guillotine at the Walmart front entrance. (with new COVID Corona Rules, there is only one way in, and one way out of the Walmart now. The West Side Story, is that COVID rules from Salem Oregon Kate Brown HQ says that the West Side Entrance is to be closed, for COVID Safety. There is a small side door near that hallway where the Carnival Games are at, on the Shopping Cart Port side of the building where those get cleaned up and put back into circulation, like miniature FLOTUS HMS Biden’s. That door also is closed, big sign on the Art Easel says “This Door is Designated for Walmart Associates Only”, so, you have to show a SAG Card or something to use that one.

The important part: As I went in there, and was distracted by the Salvation Army Door Bell w/Bucket, wearing Chinese Knock Off (Hong-Kong) US Navy Officer Dress Uniform, I stopped right there as I was almost in the door frame going in. I saw something that looked kinda weird, had to rub my eyes... “Uh-Ohh... Walmart Transgender Patrol... it’s coming my way” I said.

I use my Bic Lighter consistently from the time I open my car door, wave it around a little, then get out of the car, all the way through the Walmart shopping adventure in Dystopia the whole time, every time I go there, or anywhere. You need a Bic Lighter to survive. Just light it, move it around at waist high every few minutes and when people are getting close to you. Only takes a second to clear the air.

There, was Pope Francis, coming in fast towards me. The Guillotine was between me an the Bergoglio. He was about 10 feet away when I saw a man wearing a white dress there, I don‘t recall the pointy hat, but, I do recall reaching through the Guillotine frame, saying “This is not a good idea, too risky”, but there were no choices, so, I reached through there, grabbed whoever that was, and pulled as the guillotine was triggered by my arm going through the motion sensor area.

Walmart Transgender Patrol was cut in three pieces as the blade came down. I wound up holding his hand... arm... and one half went outside of the building, the other half stayed inside and went to the left and onto the ground. I tossed the arm behind me to keep my hands free so I could fight when I went in, ducked under the blade that was still chopping, and that is when “The Unclean“ security that I explained sprang into action, also, just then, the man that monitors everyone who enters the store took his usual position in the center between the roped off Entrance Lane, and Exit Lane. He was off to the side safely out of the way before that Transgender Patrol Pope was cut in two at the front entrance. That guy stands there with a electronic Tablet size thing, he is able to read debit card chips as people walk by within range, so, he was Johnny on the Spot as the “Two Piece Pope” hit the ground, and, “The Unclean” began to do their routine.

I saw the man on the floor in two places. Maybe was two people who were cut, one was the Pope, the other was a heap of mess on the floor between the Exit and Entrance sides. I think was two different people.

The man was still alive, his head was moving but was cut long way, in two-three pieces. I cleared all of that, grabbed a shopping cart for some protection, it was sticky on the handle... people all began to come to the exit, I looked over at that man on the floor and said “You have to bring your own hospital”. Then, all of those people, about 15 people, all started to release a lot more gas than already was there.

Some pretty girls were deployed near the McDonald’s, and more of them beyond that, some noises towards the inside of the Walmart were such that my attention was drawn over there, and that is the direction I went.

In front of the McDonald’s, two of those pretty girls were ignited, from nitrous gas ignition, and they both launched up into the suspended ceiling and a piece of the ceiling tile fell to my right onto the place where some promotional items are stacked at the entrance area across from the McDonald’s.

An unmasked man was there to my left as I went into the Walmart. He had seen the two girls disappear into the ceiling and the tile fall from above. That man was mesmerized, in disbelief. I could hear him say “It’s real... the blog is real”.

I advised that if he pays attention to the pharmacy area, those two girls should be coming down out of the ceiling over there any second now, and I walked in that direction, the two girls came down out of the ceiling right there by the pharmacy, just like they always do and hit the floor hard. A cart was there, at the ready, had been deployed immediately upon lift-off, to cart them away. There is a channel built into the Walmart ceiling such that when the terror soldier launch up in there, they are directed to the pharmacy to come down over there, closer to where it can be easier to disguise such persons as unfortunate injured people who came to the Walmart Pharmacy for some first aid, from some other accident, they will say.

As I walked around doing my shopping for some food. there was a lot of talk about “The Pope”, “Francis“, “Bergoglio”, “Two-Piece”, “Papa”, and “Father” inside the store, enough that I believe it’s likely to have been “The Bergoglio” who came to attack me at the front entrance.

I have seen the Pope, the real Pope, here in Grants Pass many times. I have seen the previous one, “Pope Benededict” also, he goes to the Myers terror cell at 560 Jackpine, and, he brought the “Pope Mobile” at least once to Jackpine.

There are some entries here on this account about a time that included a large hot-air balloon, shaped like a house, when one of the Pope’s came to Jackpine.

That with the Pope Mobile, was the day this happened:

I was playing guitar when I heard something outside, and went out there while holding that guitar pick, there was someone speaking in Latin, hiding behind a building here at my house pointing a rifle at me, I spoke back to the person, who shot at me, then ran away. The gun looked like AR-7 to me, a survival rifle, like one that I once owned, is small, is for backpack travel, lightweight.

There also were two other people closer to me, a young blonde woman, and a young man, who were hiding under the deck of a wood raised porch here at my property.

But that happened a long time ago... I am just reminded of it from that Walmart adventure with the guillotine at the front entrance the other day.

So, although there is more to say about the “Nightmare Before Elm Street” event at the Walmart the other day, it’s useless to say the details... no one is going to send the kind of help that is required to stop the size and scope of the terror monstrosity that exists here.

I am optimistic that the man who was mesmerized with seeing the girls go into the ceiling found safe passage back to where he came from, maybe can send proper help.

6:50 pm.

============================

7:22 pm:

Maybe you don’t believe what I explained there.

I think you need to start thinking in bigger ways than the you have been programmed to think.

Was it the Pope? I don‘t know for sure, I don‘t claim to know who the “Transgender Walmart Front Entrance Patrol” was, that does not matter, is not as important as the event itself, all of the characters involved are terror soldiers, that is the important part.

I can say that when I have seen the Pope’s come to town before, there is also a presence of support people that are also present, they have a particular set of characteristics about them, and, those kinds of people were all in charge at the Walmart, wearing the vests, moving around the inventory pallet jack’s all over the place, at a very unusual time of day for inventory work, afternoon day time is not customary for those small forklift style pallet jacks to be so many, and there were many of them all with about one-half to one-third capacity of boxed store items on them, and, none of the items on the small size forklifts were marked with any brand name on the boxes. So, maybe 20 of those moving around in the store, each with generic brown color, white color, some green color boxes on them, none of which were very big boxes, stacked, arranged loosely on those pallet jacks. But it’s the people who were using the pallet jacks that are more interesting, but more difficult to explain why they are interesting to look at.

First, those people tend to be women, about 60 years old. They tend to all have the same hair style, curly shoulder length grey hair. They all are about 5′5″ or shorter. Each one looks the same as the other one. It’s easy to look at them and think about “Thing One, and Thing Two” from “Cat in the Hat” for reasons that only Sigmund Freud will know.

After careful thought, those women all look very similar to Joan Phillips of 507 Jackpine Dr.Grants Pass Oregon 97526, who I have explained is the leading terror command for as far as I am able to see, regional, global terror leadership over a great distance is at 507 Jackpine, and, Myers at 560 is SAG nbc Universal Comcast Studios version of Joan Phillips, and Bruce & Janice Freeberg of 535 Jackpine is terror Air Force leadership, also regional, maybe Global. Bruce has been dead a long time, is inside of stolen F-18 fighter jet two-seat trainer in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean for about 15 or more years. (Harold Phillips died about five or six years ago, was leader, now is Joan. Rumor is that Phillips are blood relation to Windsor Royalty. They pronounce the name as “Felps” if you are listening to chatter.)

Those people all have a look on their faces that is blank... like lobotomy patients or some other blankness, absence of inner light, souless looking people wandering around while pushing inventory freight pallet jacks around wearing Walmart vests, blue ones.

They stop when you pass by, and stare with blank facial expression that is so weird, you just want to move away from there.

Those people are not the regular Walmart terror assassins. those are more specialized Pope Vatican style Cat in the Hat terror gas warriors... they really do look like zombie face, or other way to explain lobotomy might be a real possibility about why they look the way they do. Physically normal, emotionally not present... blanks.

They have been here in Grants Pass at the other times when I saw the Pope’s.

Also, other SAG looking people were there, you can see that they are SAG actors by the props they use, the heavy character make-up, Hollywood Movie style heavy transforming make-up, the kind that is applied with small trowel, then painted, can‘t see it after that.

Most of that activity with inventory was at the Electronics Department. I saw one of those SAG Make-Up warriors who was playing role of store shopper, go from Grocery Customer, to Electronics Department Walmart Associate. he just went into the back, parked his shopping cart, grabbed a vest, and Viola! Electronics Guru was there. That guy had a beard with a pony tail about 12″ wrapped with fabric small beard coat, colorful, Rastafarian style, is there to draw attention away from more Vatican Souless ideas, towards other, media promotional bad-guy ideas.

Many pretty girls at the Walmart, all of them seem to be wearing very tight fitting leotard style yoga pants, very revealing distractive pants.

All of that is part of usual terror there, other than the “Lobotomy Blanks”... the Guillotine is part of the usual, the Pope is not.

Electronics Department was special circumstance that day. Unusual activity at the door that leads to the inventory at electronics there. Lots of Forklift Pallet Jack w/blank drivers going in and out, was cluster fuck traffic jam there at electronics w/special carts.

8:03 pm.

9:01 pm:

Some things about “Walmart COVID Front Entrance Monitor w/Tablet Size Electronic Gizmo”:

He is always there now. Been there since around spring time 2020 when the very industrial style dividers between front door entrance, and front door exit started to happen. At first, that divider was a piece of hardware, looks like an Easy-Up Canopy style extendable folding portable fence, scissors style extension technology. That was temporary, but Tablet Man Monitor is permanent fixture. That divider is always there now, but configuration varies, could be some movie theater style rope dividers, or, could be a lot of shopping carts put there to keep the “In Door” aisle, separated from the “Out Door” aisle at that entrance area. The entrance is neither inside, nor outside of the shopping store, it’s a grey area, that idea is present at all of the COVID sort of attack zones around, some kind of non-descript place between.

Electronic Tablet Gizmo Man is only obvious at Walmart as far as I can see, but at smaller venues, the Smart Phone Blue-Tooth Scouts serve the same function.

I say the Walmart has “Debit Card Chip Blue-Tooth Remote Scan“ technology, and I am aware of other, wondering variety of scouts who have the same thing in a smaller devise than Walmart COVID Monitor does. I walked right over to him that day and told him to his face that he was reading card chips, I looked at the device, the screen is blank grey when I looked. He had just stepped into position at the time.

The explanation I was told, about a long time ago, before there was debit card chips on the cards we use for paying, and has been repeated as a further explanation is that the device sends out a signal that makes a three dimensional map of a area within range. That signal finds, wraps around in three dimensions, a signal of the things it is looking for. A debit card chip in your pocket or wallet is the kind of thing it can find. The device, I am told, sends and receives that mapping signal, software cross-referenced to banking data bases, matches the physical shape of the chips on cards, that it finds. The information then knows who you are, as you pass by Walmart COVID Monitor, and other roving equivalents of the COVID Monitor at Walmart, but with smaller devices. They know your banking balance that way and who you are in a parking lot from about twenty feet away I have seen, as a small group of people say: “He has the card with him” when I walk into 6th Street Market.

All of that is not even necessary though, could be bait, because at Fred Meyer and at Walmart, the cash register screen has already been showing the cashiers the banking balances of the store customers as they are at the checkout, been going on for more than a decade like that. Someone with big balance is called “a Whale” at that time. “Get the Boston Whaler”... “Load the harpoon“, “Tell Quint his order is ready”... “Little Buddy!” any kind of whale hunting jargon is shouted when big balance is shown on the grocery store checkout screen. Fred Meyer systems are directly connected to JP Morgan Chase Bank Systems at the checkout grocery screen for many years. That is why I advise caution when asking too many questions about blue-tooth card reading capabilities. It’s not that they don‘t use it, it’s that it’s not necessary, they have it hard wired for banking info of victims.

Walgreen‘s Pharmacy uses wiz-bang modern card reading tech at the checkout, just touch your card to the debit machine, you don‘t have to insert the card at the Walgreen‘s.

Fred Meyer is the big fish for looking at Bank Hijack. Kroger Foods, all of it.

10:02 pm:

Walmart Entrance Russian Fractal Hoax Mother:

Too much attention is drawn to the entrance at the Walmart, there so much stuff that happens there, changes made, distractions, you could say stuff, and then keep saying Walmart Front Entrance forever, so, you have to fly around in the Russian Mother Hoax to find answers to questions that are not asked at the front entrance.

West Side Story is where answers are at for the Grants Pass Walmart, other Walmart’s may be different story than West Side Story.... it’s that other entrance, the one on the West Side that no one is interested in because of so much going on at East Side Entrance.

Go to West Side Story for a minute, look at the movie details at IMDB.com, look for SAG Cards there.

First thing, is they snap their fingers while walking in a gang and singing... ok...

Bewitched then.

Where is Tabatha?

Which one of the “Derwood’s” is on the screen? Old Derwood? or new. replacement Derwood?

There is a lot of Russian Hoax just right there, at Walmart.

Then, snap your fingers again, because the movie Grease is a lot like West Side Story, sort of, so, you have to talk to Suzanne Sommers there on Van Nuys Blvd on Cruze night in around 1975 or so in that Thunderbird, has a port-hole, so, you know you are at the right place when you zoom back to Salvation Army Bell Ringer at the Walmart East Entrance who are wearing those US navy knock-off uniforms.

The details are all over the place here. It’s deep water, lots of seaweed, there are coral reefs, many small fish, very diversified set of Russian (Walmart) Mother Hoax by way of Van Nuys California Circuit Courts nearby where the Grease movie was filmed.

Too much is going on to be specific.

Van Nuys is going to be a very big fish here in that West Side Story that snaps to Bewitched where Tabatha is so cute when she wiggles her nose, and they tried to sneak a new Derwood into the picture like no one is going to notice that on Amazon Prime Time network television in 1966 or something like that, for crying out loud.

(Jim Dunlop with Cry Baby Wah-Wah peddle and “Snarling Dogs” knurled guitar picks just showed up on Cracker Jack Hoax Decoder Ring Radar... too much is going on here in Van Nuys Courthouse... Need some assistance please.)

“GREASE”... I think the title is in all caps, have to go look to make sure.

10:28 pm.

==============

West Park Hospital

West Valley Precinct

Golden West Billiards

All Valley Automotive Service (formerly West Valley Automotive Service)

The place next door to All Valley Automotive Service is very special, highly regarded, over and over again, guarded.

and

Tommy’s Hamburger’s

Those are on the Van Nuys Russian Hoax Mother Courthouse, but it’s all protected with a House of Mirrors, and a lot smoke, all kinds of smoke.

==============

Eventually, you wind up here in the Russian Hoax Mother, at all of the Thunderbirds episodes.

That, all leads to Rocketdyne in Simi Valley.

That will take you to “Fake Rocketdyne” on DeSoto Ave... just stay away for now, there is bigger fish to fry than the ones on DeSoto.

You might have to swing by to find the real Charles Manson, and figure out why so much effort was put onto the fake Charles Manson in the prison.

There is going to be a lot of Spawn right there, they will make you put the Ranch sauce when you are looking for some vinegar.

Walmart West Side Story is a deep place. Lots going on there. Includes some Squeekie Wheel Terror Comm, but, you already found the GREASE for that, so, you know you are at the right place.

Later, if we don‘t stop the terror coup, all of the stores are going to be places where you need to know the secret door knock to get inside, to get some food. We are almost there now.

Better swing by over at the Chaos HQ, talk to Maxwell Smart, bring your own phone booth, Superman.

(shit, here come Jerry Seinfeld on the RADAR... Nueman!)

youtube

)12-14-2020: The CIA, FBI, and Secret Service don‘t hold a candle to these 1960′s Thunderbird’s episodes for when it comes down to training of personnel within their ranks. This stuff is top notch, does not get much better when you consider it’s stealth presentation right there in front of everyone, while delivering the training direct to the living rooms of the people signed up for the training, through covert publications such as TV GUIDE. These episodes are double-whammy terror masterpieces. They simultaneously train the terror army, while setting up the victims, and, promote pedophilia incorporated into the command chain of the terror soldiers being trained, all at the same time, in the same episode. To get a more complete education from these, you have to also look at the companion series called “David & Goliath”, also are claymation style productions. There, you can find where the Christian Guilt is etched in stone into the minds of the young terror trainees of the time period, all of which are in their 50′s, 60′s and 70′s today, and are very dangerous terror soldiers, when their education was further enhanced by the third leg of the Trinity of the education tactic at the churches, in person, with special follow up to the introductory lessons taught on the television within the Thunderbird's, and David & Goliath. That episode above has much going on, but I will say that much of the message is that the title, the “Uninvited” is reference to flame, fire, many ways that nitrous oxide can be ignited, and is bad for the trainees. “Fire is Uninvited” could be gleaned from the episode.(

(Fast Forward to more contemporary, similar training to Inspector Gadget cartoons. There is likely to be a companion to that also to play the guilt card, and in association to Saturday and Sunday Church Service follow up and guidance, depending on religious denomination preferences, or, orders for particular denomination selection from higher leadership. I suspect Ivy League goes to Church on Sunday, leadership church, soldier church happens on Saturdays, maybe, sort of, at least to some extent. So, “What is the sister, companion Television program that accompanies Inspector Gadget?”, is a good question, I don‘t know what it could be)

)Once you begin to see what has been happening with the Russian Mother of all Hoaxes, then you could start to see that the television programs presented something for all age groups, all different kinds of people, either to train them as terror soldiers and lead them toward the churches for personal guidance in addition to the programming, or, to set them up as victims with special conditioning for that, all inside of the TV programs. Just look at 1960′s - 1970′s soap opera’s to see how the women were targeted that way. Why was their no hospital in the entire General Hospital decades of episodes? I don’t know why that happened, but it did happen. There was something for everyone, to be trained as a Christian terror soldier, or operative, or, to be set-up to be victimized by them. They play both hands on the TV programs, while leading everyone towards the church, where the decisions are made, judgement is cast at the Church. Both times I went to church in my lifetime, were bad experience, I did not like it.(

(If you step the fuck back, and then glue together I Love Lucy with Gilligan’s Island, what do you get? They happened about at the same period of time.

You get Cuban Missal Crisis in your living room while the husband is away at night, things a little loose, as Lucy is always trying to find some kind of hobby to occupy her time without having to do too much Splainin‘ to Ricky when he finally comes home and there is no radio there, in the living room where you are stranded watching, being entertained by Ginger and Mary Ann is so wholesome right there, the professor are not able to reach land, the skipper looks important, but... well... Gilligan tries to keep a positive outlook while Babaloo is playing on the native drums on the other side of the island, that apartment upstairs where the people must be elephants or something and you can’t hear the TV. Everyone is stranded, but entertained, it’s a little loose, and the Cubans are not bad guys after all, they are on TV in the living room while we ride the exorcise bike to try to get a signal out on the radio while the rich people “The Third” are looking on, with nice clothes, and some bubbly.

======================================

11:06 pm:

I need to put a conclusion here for this entry to make some sense, but the decoding work hasn‘t even been started yet.

I have to make reminder of the Pope’s Crucifix to do this, I already explained some of it before, so, quick reminder is that the horizontal part is about things that happen on the surface, they go sideways.

The vertical is more about ideas, intangible stuff, it’s where the Pope’e elevator is at, can go up to heavenly ideas, can go down under all of that sideways activity that happens on the horizontal part, towards hell.

Walmart East Entrance is the Horizontal part of the Pope’s crucifix, shit goes sideways there, big time.

That other, West Side entrance is the one no one is concerned with, there is a fire hazard waiting to happen over there, the door is all locked up because Salem Oregon said COVID rules make it too dangerous to use that West Side Door (disregard Dora the explorer as she swims by here, it’s Ellen Degenerous, OK? You really don‘t need any more info than that when Dora is swimming by) and there are no Fire Marshall's anywhere to be found while that door is locked shut.

That, the West Side, is where the questions are at, but there is no one asking any questions, so, the Vertical Part of the Pope’s Crusifix is doing some kind of Hokus Pokus that is keeping the common sense away from there. The Vertical Part is diverted over to the horizontal part of the Pope’s Crucifix, and there is one very small door available on the side, special, for “Walmart Associates” where going in and coming out, is simplified, at least, it appears that way.

Basically, physical activity on the Horizontal Axis, while the Mental Exercise happens on the Vertical Axis. Complications happen with addition of René Descartes and it all turns French after that.

You still have to walk through the carnival games to use that door, they all have a coin slot.

So you do your thinking over on the Vertical Axis at the Wast Side, but it’s crazy there, will blow your mind. Otherwise, you can use the Horizontal Axis at the East Side, a one way trip for most people.

There is that small place to go in and out, special people door, they get a redo or something, I don‘t know how that works, I think they pass out Bit Coin over there, Stirling Air Money.

11:28 pm:

==============

12-14-2020: 12:21 am:

Although all of that San Fernando Valley came up on the Grants Pass Walmart Decoder at the West Side Story, much of that could have been planted to show up like that, SAG Writers Guild is evil like that, they can do shit like, while walking and chewing gum.

It’s a trap to go into Southern California, so, without military, that place is worse than Grants Pass is. Looks like bait.

Send help to Oregon.

Please send medical services.

Bring your own hospital.

Christmas in Sherlock: Four Minutes, Four Seasons

ASiP

Mrs. Hudson, might need some food...something cold will do.

Sherlock is then drugged in ASiB, falls in TRF, then is drugged and shot in HLV. He’s also close to ODing in TLD, and beaten by John. More about similar injuries in @ebaeschnbliah meta Strange Similarities.

The scene at the top is from the ASiB Christmas party, and the Norbury scene from T6T is a replay of these events + the date of TAB. John announces that because his blog counter is stuck at 1895, Christmas is cancelled. So, from here on out, Sherlock relives Christmas over and over.

HLV is Christmas

Mycroft even bemoans how long it goes on, before Sherlock temporarily forgets it’s Christmas Day.

(Notice the way it’s framed through a window, a visual clue we’re having to look into somewhere to see the story unfold. Also, the way Sherlock eats in this scene is how he eats the gingernuts in T6T.)

This scene gets replayed in TAB.

Where is was also Christmastime, albeit in ACD terms, it was 1892.

Close-up on an issue of The Strand Magazine. Nearby, a news vendor is calling out to the passing pedestrians. He is holding newspapers and another copy of The Strand with a small red sleeve around it on which are the words “SHERLOCK HOLMES” and an in-profile white silhouette of the detective. Offscreen, carollers can be heard singing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” NEWS VENDOR: Papers! Papers! (A hansom cab approaches along the street.) NEWS VENDOR: Papers! Papers! (The cab slows down as Watson leans out of the window a little and gestures to attract the attention of the vendor.) WATSON: Here. (The cab stops.) WATSON: How’s ‘The Blue Carbuncle’ doing? NEWS VENDOR: Very popular, Doctor Watson. Is there gonna be a proper murder next time? WATSON: I’ll have a word with the criminal classes. NEWS VENDOR: If you wouldn’t mind. (He points towards the figure sitting next to Watson.) NEWS VENDOR: Is that ’im? Is ’e in there? (Holmes, mostly obscured from the vendor’s view, apparently kicks Watson, who grunts.) WATSON: No. No, no, not at all. (He tips a finger to his hat.) Ah, good day to you. CABBIE (to his horse, shaking the reins at it): Walk on. (The cab sets off again. The news vendor calls after it.) NEWS VENDOR: Merry Christmas, Mr Holmes! ( x )

So far on SHERLOCK ( x ) 2010 Sherlock unzips the body bag in “A Study in Pink.” SHERLOCK (at the door to the Bart’s lab): The name’s Sherlock Holmes and the address is 221B Baker Street. (He click-winks at John.) SHERLOCK: Afternoon! (He leaves the lab.) MIKE STAMFORD (to John): Yeah. He’s always like that. Brief shot of Sherlock in his security man’s uniform at the Hickman Gallery in “The Great Game.” Sherlock flogs the dead body in “ASIP.” MOLLY: Bad day, was it? In the warehouse in “ASIP.” MYCROFT: Since yesterday you’ve moved in with him ... (There’s a brief shot of the door to 221B closing.) MYCROFT: ... and now you’re solving crimes together. In the hallway of 221B in “ASIP,” Sherlock kisses Mrs Hudson’s cheek. MRS HUDSON: Look at you, all happy. It’s not decent. SHERLOCK: Who cares about decent? The game, Mrs Hudson, is on! Brief shot of the Houses of Parliament exploding in “The Empty Hearse” [which is out of context when so far this is meant to be a summary of the Season 1 episodes]. 221B’s living room in “TGG.” SHERLOCK: Don’t make people into heroes, John. Heroes don’t exist and if they did, I wouldn’t be one of them. At the pool in “TGG,” John opens his jacket to reveal the bomb strapped to him. JIM (to Sherlock): I’ll burn the heart out of you. 2012 In Irene Adler’s living room in “A Scandal in Belgravia,” a naked Irene clamps her teeth onto Sherlock’s fake vicar’s dog-collar just as John comes in with a bowl of water and a linen napkin. JOHN: Right, this should do it. (He stares in shock at the sight that greets him.) In the sitting room in Buckingham Palace in “ASIB,” John glances at a besheeted Sherlock. JOHN: Are you wearing any pants? SHERLOCK: No. JOHN: Okay. (They both crack up laughing.) In Irene’s bedroom, she flogs a drugged Sherlock, then strokes her riding crop over his face. IRENE: This is how I want you to remember me: the woman who beat you. In Dewer’s Hollow in “The Hounds of Baskerville,” Sherlock looks at Henry Knight. SHERLOCK: But there never was any monster. (The hound howls and everyone turns their flashlights to the sight at the top of the Hollow.) JOHN: Sherlock? On Bart’s rooftop in “The Reichenbach Fall,” Sherlock walks across the roof towards Jim. JIM: Here we are at last. (He shoots himself in the mouth. Sherlock cries out in shock and leaps back.) Later, Sherlock is talking over the phone from the rooftop to John on the ground.) SHERLOCK: Goodbye, John. JOHN (crying out): SHERLOCK! (Sherlock spreads his arms and starts to topple forward. John runs towards the place where Sherlock landed.) 2014 In the underground car park in “The Empty Hearse.” SHERLOCK (offscreen): Those things will kill you. (Greg Lestrade takes the lighter away from his unlit cigarette.) LESTRADE: Ooh, you bastard! In the kebab shop SHERLOCK (to John): The thrill of the chase, the blood pumping through your veins ... (Brief flashback to John outside Angelo’s restaurant in “ASIP,” jumping over the bonnet of the car.) JOHN (to the driver): Sorry. (He chases off after Sherlock.) SHERLOCK: ... just the two of us against the rest of the world. (John grabs Sherlock’s jacket and head-butts him.) In the streets near Baker Street in “TRF” [again, shown in the wrong season flashback], Sherlock, handcuffed to John, jumps over the iron fence. John grabs his coat through the fence and pulls him back. JOHN: Wait! We’re going to need to co-ordinate. (Brief shot of Sherlock’s grave.) At the bottom of the stairs in 221B in “TEH.” JOHN: I asked you for one more miracle. I asked you to stop being dead. SHERLOCK: I heard you. Outside Sholto’s room in “The Sign of Three.” JOHN: Shut up. You are not a puzzle solver; you never have been. You’re a drama queen. Now there is a man in there about to die ... [This could apply to Mycroft as well.]

(Brief shot of Sherlock putting on the deerstalker at the end of “TEH.”) JOHN (sarcastically quoting Sherlock): ... “The game is on.” Solve it! At Appledore in “His Last Vow,” Magnussen opens the doors to his ‘vaults.’ SHERLOCK (voiceover): He is the Napoleon of blackmail. (Brief shot of Magnussen walking through his Mind Palace library. Shortly afterwards, Mycroft’s helicopter has arrived and is hovering near the patio.) MAGNUSSEN: No chance for you to be a hero this time, Mr Holmes. (Armed police move into position.) SHERLOCK: I’m a high-functioning sociopath. (He shoots Magnussen in the head, then kneels on the patio with his hands raised, his face full of despair.) MYCROFT (speaking to Lady Smallwood and her colleagues): There is no prison in which we could incarcerate Sherlock without causing a riot on a daily basis. The alternative, however, would require your approval. On the tarmac at the airfield, Sherlock offers his hand to John. SHERLOCK: To the very best of times, John. (His plane takes off while John and Mary watch from the ground.) JIM’s VOICE (distorted): Did you miss me? Did you miss me? LADY SMALLWOOD: How is this possible? MYCROFT (over the phone to Sherlock in the plane): How’s the exile going? SHERLOCK: I’ve only been gone four minutes. [FOUR is important.] MYCROFT: Well, I certainly hope you’ve learned your lesson. SHERLOCK: Who needs me this time? (On every TV screen in the country, Jim looks over his shoulder to the camera.) JIM: Miss me? MYCROFT (over the phone to Sherlock): England. (Sherlock’s plane touches down on the tarmac.)

TFP

THoB Sherlock is still living under Moriarty’s shadow, despite Irene revealing that John has feelings for Sherlock, and John not denying it. Also, Sherlock is drugged, and for the first time, experiences doubt.

Moriarty is shot, but according to Mycroft in TAB, his body is never recovered.

Sherlock is killed by Mary in HLV, but he comes back to life for John, only because he imagines Moriarty prompting him to see who will miss him. Which always seemed like an odd thing for a villain to do. So, what if Moriarty wasn’t the Big Bad Wolf, but was in fact an actor like Richard Brooke, on the payroll of Mycroft and Mary and/or Magnussen? So, on the rooftop he shot blanks, and someone else shot Sherlock?

Sherlock shoots Magnussen, but this is edited to be someone else in T6T.

Eurus shoots John, but in TFP we’re told it was just a tranq, even though John is former military and Sherlock told us in ASiP that he knew the difference between a real and fake gun.

i.e. it’s Sherlock’s brain trying to tell him that the gun action is linked to the mystery in ASiP (where he first hears of Moriarty), the events surrounding Irene and her working with Moriarty (being drugged=being beaten), and the gun situation not adding up in TRF for multiple reasons. Moriarty becomes the present for Sherlock’s mirror, because he’s the clue to the case, Goethe is a statue in Sherlock’s room, Ode to Joy is played in TLD, and that’s why Staying Alive was the song. Riechenbach is German, as was Rache from ASiP, and in TRF we get Moriarty saying “I owe you a fall”, which is “Ich schulde Ihnen einen Fall” in German, it can be understood as both: I owe you a fall or I owe you a case. Again, it’s his gift. Heart vs brain. @monikakrasnorada (I’m tired, so I hope this makes some sense.)
