I’m really confused about the sherlock special ?? are they going to do a christmas carol thing ? are they going to meet in a dream ? is past!john going to end up having ‘the talk’ with modern!john ?? who knows…
Has anyone figured out the meaning of John’s green tie pin? I feel like it means something that I should know but I can’t quite connect the dots.
So anyone?
Since it’s the first meeting maybe that’s the stand in for the phone. Sherlock needs to borrow a tie pin and mike’s all i dont wear one and then johns like take mine.
“Imagine you’re at a party. A guy offers you a drink. You say no. He says “Come on, one drink!” You say “no thanks.” Later, he brings you a soda. “I know you said you didn’t want a drink, but I was getting one for myself and you looked thirsty.” For you to refuse at this point makes you the asshole. He’s just being nice, right? Predators use the social contract and our own good hearts and fear of being rude against us. If you drink the drink, you’re teaching him that it just takes a little persistence on his part to overcome your “no.” If you say “Really, I appreciate it, but no thanks” and put the drink down and walk away from it, you’re the one who looks rude in that moment. But the fact is, you didn’t ask for the drink and you don’t want the drink and you don’t have to drink it just to make some guy feel validated.”
One of my fics got linked by a lot of fans in Taiwan and other areas near there and so I’ve spent a good 45 minutes trying to read Mandarin to see what they say. Because they don’t leave kudos or comments or anything but they talk about the fic on plurk a lot. I was like I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. Google Translate is ass but fortunately they all use a lot of emoticons and pictures so I think it all roughly translates to they like the story a lot and it made them cry a bit and this pleases me greatly.
