other fun (maybe a tiny bit random) (johnlock) blogs that i can think of rn:
@whispersfrom221b @loki-lock @jawnn-watson @catlock-holmes @peanitbear @a-victorian-girl UGH SO MANY I WILL STOP NOW BUT THIS IS A SMALL START FOR NOW!!!
*throws badly cut out paper hearts at all of you* feel free to add other blogs! 💚💚💚
At the turn of the year, people love to look back. One of those retrospectives is the AO3 Year in Review stats post.
When I started in the Mystrade fandom (and began Tumblr) in 2019, Johnlock was the 21st most popular pairing, with Mystrade making the top 100 list at #78.
In 2020, Johnlock fell to #52, and Mystrade was no longer on the list.
In 2021, things were fairly stable, with Johnlock at #54.
In 2022, Johnlock dropped to #73.
And in 2023, they're no longer in the top 100.
That's understandable. It's been a long while since we've had new content, and there are a lot of new pairings on that list (many stemming from video games). But it did seem something to mention.
Thank you all who are still out there sharing this with us.
What are some of your favourite Johnlock blogs here in Tumblr?
Hey Nonny!
Oh, gosh, I don't really have "favourites" these days mostly because my entire feed are mostly from authors and artists, some meta writers, some random other-fandom blogs, a few mutuals, and the occasional shitposters, and "here's the shit going on in all these fandoms" blogs I lurk on, lol.
I highly recommend curating your feed to all the authors you like, hahah. Always a joy. And of course I love my mutuals but because this is a sideblog they'll never know that I'm a mutual, sadly. Probably why everyone stops talking to me after a bit, I guess. :P
Feel free friends to promote yourselves on here, and I'll curate all the blogs into subsequent reblogs :)
i completely forgot that most people don't find new shows by scrolling tumblr and seeing someone being obsessed with a character/show/ship and going "yeah i'm going to invest hours into my this show so i can be obsessed with it too"
Fanfics on AO3 are very well tagged these days. You see barely a few authors (mostly amateurs) who don’t tag their works. Most of the time, if there are no tags, then there are summaries and warnings listed in the author notes.
So if you’re reading a well-tagged work and going to comment shit about it, don’t. You know what you’re going to find in there. If it’s not something you like, just leave.
Don’t harass those authors, man. These platforms are just creative outlets to most of them, an escape from their realities. A lot of times, these are the things that keep them going. Don’t be an asshole about it.
Don’t like, don’t engage. It really is that simple.
If you’re really brimming with hate that much, find some other ways to let it out. Idk, maybe smash a plate, pick up a sport, whatever. Just don’t hate on people for doing what they can to keep going while not harming others.
Damn, but the audacity people have here to put others down like that. Yikes.
do you ever see fanart so tasty that you are then obligated to join the fandom and spend all of your waking hours learning the lore behind the characters, or is that not a universal experience?
how i sleep after pretending this fictional man doesn’t have a wife and kids because my delusional ass thinks he’s in love with another man he’s interacted with like three times [or his bff] but has better chemistry with.
"It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."
Happy Johnlock Day!!!
I know Valentine's isn't here yet, but I wanted to make a drawing for it anyway. So, Happy (very early) Valentine's Day!
I finished my Granada Holmes/Johnlock Valentine's Day drawing!! I hope you enjoy!! 💛💛
Holmes got his beloved poisonous flowers and Watson received some sweets. I love them.
The cafe is a cafe I use in my comics. It's called "Witches Cap - Cafe and Roast". Like I said in my last post, I always enjoy putting characters in it. [:
(Sorry for the wonky lines.)
(Edit: everyone is saying such sweet things, thank you lot so much!! 💛😭)
