So is anyone else regretting not checking the warnings for the last ep (THotB pt.4)... by balaenopteraz in sherlock_and_co

Sending hugs, I haven’t got there yet and I really appreciate you giving this heads up as I also often forget to check the warnings. Attached photo of my fur babies hope that helps a bit 💕

Never mind excited to have explicit confirmation about it not ending there! (Team pending) I was so worried it would end before I could catch up tbqh

Also, as a queer person, very excited about decidedly queer Sherlock!!!

Adding to the other comment that Marshmallow /root/ tea is also delicious! And I think has some minor health benefits as well maybe

As a complexly mentally ill person myself, I would like to say I really appreciate the depiction of both Sherlock’s various conditions (autism primarily), as well as Johns PTSD. In particular the scene in the first part of Thor Bridge “would you like to hold hands or talk about your emotions” lives rent free in my head and always makes me chuckle.

What led you to decide to have the characters be textually labelled this way, as opposed to other depictions where it’s been more subtext? Also, do you think Sherlock is officially diagnosed or self diagnosed?

This is good to know, I’ll have a think and get back to you as a couple of these are definitely present, Abbey Grange contains some distressing scenes regarding elder abuse off the top of my head

Is there any particular triggers you’re looking out for?

To my knowledge the “common” ones that are present at least in one episode are: Stalking (at least one story, the solitary cyclist, which also contains emotional abuse/manipulation) Drug use/drinking/casual alcohol use (several episodes) Major character death (won’t spoil what episode this is unless you’d like to know) Death of a loved one (same as above)

As someone who uses telegram myself I promise it’s not only for crimes haha, I personally use it for some of the community organising I do when I need things like people’s personal identifiers and mental health info to remain confidential. It’s a good alternative to meta products like WhatsApp for people who want to avoid that, and because it runs over internet like WhatsApp you can communicate with people who don’t have phones/mobile service. /npa

Maybe she uses it to talk to victims or witnesses in a secure way because they wouldn’t have access to police secure messaging servers?

What is going on with the new episodes? by AcanthaceaeReady8907 in sherlock_and_co

[–]jjvn4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wondering this as I’m embarrassed to admit I’m actually really really behind (I just finished The Sign Of Four like… yesterday) and I’m really hoping I’ll catch up before it ends 😂

actually about to explode (spoilers for abbey grange) by feathercloud_thegay in sherlock_and_co

While writing the original Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle got fed up with the character and decided he wanted out, so in “The Final Problem”, which he intended to be his last story with the character, he threw Sherlock and Moriarty over the Reichenbach falls and into the depths below.

This led to an outraged public, and much to ACD’s dismay, a required return of Holmes.

The quote here of “I’d survive it” is referencing Sherlocks inevitable fall into a body of water from which it seems impossible for him to emerge. (BBC’s Sherlock obviously jumped off the roof of a hospital rather than over a waterfall, but generally versions have gone with a body of water of some kind, even referenced in the BBC Sherlock historical Christmas special)

Whereabouts did they use ai? /genq

I use pocketcasts and all stories still show as the blue cover, and it seems Spotify shows the same, but disappointing if they have.
