Also I do think it’s racist that whenever someone wants to denigrate gay art and gay art enjoyers they start calling those things by Japanese terms

I believe based on the context clues it was supposed to be clear to us it was Irene calling Moriarty. Since the episode (in great part) was about Irene and her scheme and we know they were working together, presumably the call was Irene offering the contents of her camera phone to Moriarty. That would make it all fit together. Makes more sense than it being some random never mentioned again person. So I am pretty sure we were supposed to infer it was Irene.

Honestly at this stage I’m going with the assumption that Andrew Scott’s appearance in s4 will be of the “hahaha, imagine if” or “tee hee it was a dream” or most probably “THIS IS SYMBOLIC IMAGERY RIGHT HERE” variety.

Unless! They are actually FINALLY going to give us a probable explanation for the events of Fall? And it wasn’t the glorious mess we’ve been living with lo, these many years? But an actual plot twist that made actual sense?! Have they finally plotted their way out of it?? I don’t know, man. I really don’t know.

#reblogging this because this now made me second guess myself #because I don't think it was ever *confirmed* it was irene #but it makes more sense for it to be irene than anyone else #and it is a neat parallel with irene saving sherlock's life at the beginning #and him saving hers at the end #this last observation wasn't caught by me so i claim no credit

I recently encountered yet another tumblr user who didn't realize that the Blog Settings option to hide your blog from search engines also includes tumblr's own search. It's surprisingly common in my experience, where people for years complain that search is broken for their blog, or that their posts don't show up in the public tags/search, but have no idea it was their own choice that put them in that situation. I know that the explainer text for the "discourage searching of [blog]" option is definitely more detailed than it used be, but if you haven't checked your settings since then, well...

Anyway, is it possible that the option could be separated into "hide from external search engines" and "hide from tumblr's search"? For people who would prefer not to be googleable (and assumed that's the only thing the option was doing) but are ok with their posts showing up in tumblr's own search.

Or possibly the options could be "hide from external search engines" and "turn off tumblr search for my blog"? Or at the very least, could there be further explainer text that hiding your from tumblr's search means that your blog's own searchbar won't ever find anything?

Answer: Hello, @nobodysuspectsthebutterfly!

Well, what do you know. We were looking at this same issue just recently and could not agree more: this setting really should be separated. Ideally, it would look a little something like this:

We need to take another look at this, as splitting search settings into Tumblrs vs. others makes a whole lot of sense. What is less clear is when a member of the team will have the capacity to work on it.

But rest assured we will be adding this to our agenda, and will be in touch with you with updates as and when we have them. And we hope you do not have to wait too long for news on this. We’ll keep you posted!

Tumblr is gonna love this. Intrigued by “The greatest and gayest shows on TV in 2012” on the cover, here it is,

I went to hunt for the February issue of Gay Times. And ta da! Of course there’s Sherlock:D Actually it’s an interview with Mark Gatiss, on Sherlock and John being gay, on slash/fanfictions online, on whether he gets Russell Tovey naked in Sherlock, etc.

Open in new tabs for bigger. Beaware of minor spoilers.

#this is so interesting #i have seen some of the quotes fom this referenced so many times #but i never actually read the whole thing (is this the whole thing?) #or knew they were from this interview? #i dont have much commentary to add i am just not in the state for that right now sorry so im just sharing #sherlock interview #gay times #mark gatiss #sherlock creator quotes

One of the recurring philosophical questions is:

"Does a falling tree in the forest make a sound when there is no one to hear?"

Which says something about the nature of philosophers, because there is always someone in a forest. It may only be a badger, wondering what that cracking noise was, or a squirrel a bit puzzled by all the scenery going upwards, but someone. At the very least, if it was deep enough in the forest, millions of small gods would have heard it.

Things just happen, one after another. They don't care who knows. But history...ah, history is different. History has to be observed. Otherwise it's not history. It's just...well, things happening one after another.
