It’s Episode 11 of Unforgotten Night, traditionally the cursed episode (as the second to last of a 12 episode series). Usually this means the couple will temporarily break up, but occasionally we get some mortal peril. I have no idea what UN will bring us. All the drama? No real drama? Another random threesome? I’m hoping someone gets eaten by a tiger, but based on the preview I’m expecting misunderstandings and breakup. I’m genuinely somewhat distressed, since I like this couple, I’d prefer a successful kidnapping and maybe a gunshot wound. (Shut up that makes sense in my head as better.) Let’s proceed.

Wait, did healthy communication in a previous episode help prevent an issue?

Another product placement/tiger shot. Genius.

And I guess now we’re working on making friends with Kemo, not just Whipped Cream. This is our episode 11 priority somehow.

Of course our new villain character Danil is showering creepily. We need to waste water or it’s not UN.

Ooop, there we go, the episode 11 misunderstanding. Kamol was of course only in the process of covering his naked ex with a bathrobe, because no one wanted to see that, including me, great body nonwithstanding. (Edit from future me: I guess Kim was actually there long enough to realize nothing happened, because he never brings this up or appears particularly jealous.)

More running water. And I’m pretty sure I spotted the chin hair.

I love how Kim is staking out his territory by being all ‘I control who gets fed in this house.’ And it seems to be working.

Kamol having Kim come with him when going to confront Danil.

Really? You don’t? You first met Kim as Kamol was carrying him into their bedroom bridal-style and he clearly runs this house. They’re literally holding hands in front of you right now.

This confrontation is incredible. Danil is chewing all the scenery and Kim and Kamol are just standing there being reasonable people who present a united front. What is this show? How do the mafia boss who wears shoes on the bed and the one night stand he stalked into dating him end up with one of the most functional and healthy relationships based on communication and mutual respect that I’ve seen in a romance show and then everything around them is absolute tiger-filled telenovela softcore porno insanity?

And despite all of this ex drama, Kim is managing to have a more productive workday than I am (I swear I’m writing most of this on my lunch break).

Kim, Danil just threatened the lives of everyone you love. Now is the time you need more of that communication y’all were having earlier. You’re being a little too kind and empathetic this episode, I think you need more of that stair-descending energy you used against Cherry.

Lapsitting right in front of Danil’s salad.

Uh oh, I guess this is going to be the drama. Even though Kamol said he didn’t care when Kim was fully prepared to tell him all of this. Danil laughs evilly and manage to hurt himself on broken glass, a glass he breaks while randomly falling over just because Kamol turned around a little aggressively.

Threesomes are fine but they had to censor the cigar. Oh, Thailand.

Cherry showed up to shoot Kim and our baby Baiboon? Everyone’s fine though and I’m assuming she was being threatened by Danai. I’m disappointed there was less actually getting shot than Bad Buddy.

If Kamol keeps being fussed about the whole Kim and De thing I’m going to be pissed. YOU TOLD HIM YOU DIDN’T CARE. The lockscreen is a cute touch, though.

In conclusion, this episode was not cursed. By all rights it should have been, but it was like Danil thought he a soap opera villain and was expecting to be able to start shit with his messiness, and then repeatedly running into a brick wall because Kamol and Kim are now in the Reasonable People in Non-toxic Love Show. And it was (probably unintentionally) hilarious. Instead of a dramatic cliffhanger we just end with Kim going to talk to Kamol in person, like a sensible person who wants to resolve relationship issues.

Maybe something will ACTUALLY HAPPEN in the finale? Maybe? But tbh all I really need to have happen is for Kom and Baiboon to get together and we’re good.

Breathe in the Salt - Chapter 19

AO3

Beta reader is @thesnadger!

Social interaction has its pros and cons.

Martin considers a way to pass the time.

Technically, there was no call that night.

Martin had had months to familiarize himself with the strange predawn that added a little color to the sky each morning. His home was on the western coast, so of course he didn’t see much of it until he’d made the trek uphill. With some cloud cover and dense fog, though, the light would scatter and cast a cold blanket of grey light over his corner of the world.

Early on he found it sort of nice, seeing the world ‘wake up’. He’d even started to get up earlier than necessary, just to make himself some tea and look out the window for signs of birds or other creatures who made their lives at dawn and dusk. There were some lines of poetry about it somewhere in his notebook, something about the magic of a quiet morning in solitude.

He’d lasted about a week with that. Turned out his life was already quiet and full enough of contemplative solitude, and warm blankets were much better than cold kitchen tile against his feet.

It was during this little sliver of morning when his mobile, vibrating against the wood of his bedside table, dragged him back to consciousness.

“No…” he groaned, nuzzling into his pillow. It could only be one person. “Don’t make me come in early. Don’t make me come in early, you prick-”

He reached over (god it was cold) and grabbed the offending object, keeping as much of himself under the blankets as possible and slipping the mobile back under with him. The screen was bright and painful in his cozy darkness. His eyes adjusted, and on his lockscreen the time read 4:06 a.m.

Before he could convince himself to let the damned thing ring itself out, he glanced at the caller ID. If anything it should’ve given him even more reason to let the call go, but Martin’s finger was already pressing the answer button.

Attempting to whisper, his voice came out rough and croaky. “Jon?”

“Martin. Glad you’re still up,” Jon said in that distant way of someone paying attention to another task entirely. Keyboard clicks could be heard in the background. “How are you doing?”

Still up? Bleary and confused, Martin replied as if he’d just run into Jon at the store, “Fine, I guess? How are you?”

“I’ve successfully whittled down my assignments enough to have personal research opportunities.” There was a weary but nevertheless triumphant edge to his words. “If this is some sort of test of my abilities, I’d say I deserve a raise.”

“Impressive,” Martin yawned. “Does that mean anything for me, or…”

“No, not yet.” He could feel Jon deflate on the other end. “I’ve only just started looking, and Elias is still acting rather blasé about what we found. I hadn’t pegged him as the type to put business relations over the mission statement, but if that’s the case then-”

“Why send you out here?”

“Precisely.” Jon clicked his tongue. “So I’m going to pry in that direction while digging through old reports. I assume the others will do the same once they’re caught up.”

Well, progress was as good as anything to wake up to. He reluctantly pulled the blankets from over his head and peeked out at his window. The frost was just visible at the edges, its frigid hands creeping across the glass. Perhaps a little while longer under the covers.

“Anyway, I’m glad I caught you,” Jon continued, filling the space Martin had left empty. The keyboard taps had ceased. “I’d decided to give you some breathing room, but you were quiet during the call with everyone and I thought- well, I wanted to make sure you were okay. As much as can be expected.”

A small, halfhearted smile found its way onto Martin’s face. “Thanks. I appreciate it.”

“So… are you okay? I know you said you were, but it sounded like you were being polite.”

Martin looked up at his ceiling. “I mean I was being polite, but… Yeah, I’m okay. As much as can be expected, like you said, but okay.”

“Hm.”

“Hm?”

“What? Nothing, it’s good. I’m gl- I’m happy that you’re… doing okay.” Midway between this thought, Jon seemed to switch the mobile from one ear to the other. “If you aren’t, I just hope you know that you can tell me if something is going on. Sometimes there are emotional aspects that contribute to an event-”

As Jon spoke at length, Martin noticed a distinct tumbling feel in the way Jon spoke, like his thoughts were coming faster than his mouth could follow. Not alcohol, surely? No, a different idea had been bothering Martin since Jon had first called.

“-can’t speak for Tim or Sasha about hours, and if you’d rather just talk one-on-one, I’m sure-”

“Right, hours. Jon, I don’t mean to pry, but have you slept at all?”

The stream of consciousness halted in its tracks. “What?”

“You seem a bit… out of it? Have you checked the time recently?”

A moment passed. Then another. Then- “That can’t be right.”

Weakly, Martin replied, “Good morning to you, too.”

“I-” Jon began. He then made a small, irritated noise. “I woke you up.”

Martin ran a hand over his face and pressed it to his upturned mouth. Into it he mumbled, “You really need to sleep.”

As if the hours had finally come crashing down upon him, Jon’s voice dropped low and soft and properly tired. “I could’ve sworn it was earlier.”

“I mean, in a sense-”

“You know what I mean.” A yawn finally broke through, but he fought it back down. “I hope it wasn’t too much earlier than your normal wake-up time?”

“Nah. You’ve seen how early my day starts. Besides, my alarm isn’t the most pleasant thing to wake up to, and you could’ve been Peter calling me in early.” It was like getting up to enjoy the morning, but he was still in bed and someone else was there (sort of). As far as he was concerned, the pros outweighed the cons.

“Then I’ll hold my apology for a later date, if you don’t mind.” He spoke bluntly, but possibly in a way that was meant to be funny. Martin was still working out when Jon was being blunt in a rude way or in a friendly way, and his gut pushed him toward the latter. “I also won’t apologize for my work ethic. I work better at night, without distractions or other people.”

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Martin asked, “Okay, I can play along with that, but when do you sleep?”

“We have a cot.”

Martin scoffed. “What, at work?” An image of the three researchers finding different corners in some dark back room to snooze on company time was almost too much.

“Working after-hours is implied in the description of any academic job. If we didn’t steal some of the day back to sleep, we’d all have dropped dead by now.” For a moment his voice strained as if he was stretching, dipping into the background before returning to normal. “Though this past week has been a bit more extreme due to circumstances. I’m not always up until dawn, calling people in a stupor.”

“First time for everything?” Martin said helpfully, pushing down weakly against the rising guilt. “I know it’s a bad situation, but I’m sorry you all have to work so hard.”

“No need for that. I can choose to sacrifice a few nights for something important.”

Slowly, very slowly, Martin pressed his burning face into his pillow. Maybe it was too early for him after all, to handle anything approaching concern. The heat was surely enough to melt the ice right off the window. Ignoring the ridiculous reaction happening in his cheeks, he turned his face back upwards and mumbled, “Thanks.”

There was a small rustling of papers. With the same damned softness, Jon continued, “I’m sure Tim and Sasha would say the same.”

A quiet thing clung deep in Martin’s throat, and in his nose, and he imagined a version of himself from the night before, scared and powerless and ready to dump any and all his feelings on the first person who would speak with him. Would that have been something Jon was prepared for, if he’d called at a sensible hour? Or if Martin had called first? But it was nearly morning, and he was well rested, and eventually the thought fell away in his wakefulness.

Without a response to go on, Jon said, "I’m not going to be as… outwardly optimistic as before, but…”

“You’re making progress,” Martin finished, coughing lightly. “I know. I’ll be patient, and careful. It’s hard after the weird stuff we did last week, though.”

“I’d like to say it was all due to extreme circumstances, but we are just like this.”

“There go my hopes of you all getting proper rest when this is over.”

“S’not impossible, but terribly unlikely.”

Martin sighed, checking his screen clock again. Still some time left. “Is it safe to assume you won’t be sleeping at this point?”

“Won’t be long until I can go to the archives. I’ll wait until then and avoid being groggy on public transit.” A pause. “Also my last energy drink is still working.”

“Mm.” Letting his forearm fall across his eyes, Martin gave up that particular battle. “Anything new set off your ‘fake’ alarms recently?”

“You’re in luck. Just yesterday a man came in to tell me about his experience with ‘spy birds’ that even you can’t devil’s-advocate your way through.”

“I’ll be the judge.”

It was a tough sell, even for Martin whose own situation made a lot of things seem possible. Midway through he even began to resent the person for wasting time better spent solving Martin’s problems, but that was an emotional rabbit hole for another time. By the end he had to concede that it was more of a conspiracy than a supernatural encounter, if they were going to get into the semantics of it. Still, Jon made it easy to be contrarian.

“When we’re not busy with all this,” Jon said, accepting that Martin wasn’t yet ready to forgo the benefit of the doubt, “I’ll be happy to sit outside and film birds all day for the sake of science, but the man finds perfectly normal birds unsettling.”

With a silly kind of bullheadedness, Martin replied, “Plenty of seabirds around here. Maybe that’s what I’ll do while I wait for something to happen.”

Jon snorted. “I expect a full report by Monday.”

Before Martin could respond, his phone made an all too familiar and dreadful noise. He really should’ve picked a song or something, he thought as he dismissed his alarm. “Well, it’s that time.”

“Yes, I should be getting along with my morning as well. Good luck with your birdwatching,” he said with joking scorn.

“Have fun sleeping on the bus.”

“Ha ha. Goodbye, Martin.”

“Bye.”

Dropping his arm onto the bed, mobile in hand, Martin ignored the numbness in his fingers and considered how invested he was in writing a fake report about birds just to see the reaction it would get. Maybe he would text Tim about it.

The idea sat in the back of his mind as he got dressed, as he made breakfast, as he put on his shoes and coat and hat. When he opened the door to meet the cold that had settled in overnight, he couldn’t help but wince at the extra bit of sting the wind delivered, but he clung to his fanciful little idea all the way up the hills and through town.

Creative writing had never been his strong suit. It was debatable if poetry was, but he’d reached a point where it was more of a comforting activity than a skill. Still, as he got to work in the blessedly empty lighthouse, he thought of the little notebook he’d stashed into his bag. If it all came to nothing, he could end up with scraps of text to rearrange into poetry someday.

It was a mess of a book. Technically bound, it was still cheap with some pages starting to come loose from his handling. He’d long ago given up on the idea of a nice looking notebook, especially as it had become personal enough to count as horribly embarrassing. It was inevitable for any poetry notebook of his to become more akin to a scattered, flowery journal of sorts, and this one was no different.

It was also a step up from previous ones in that it wasn’t some spiral-bound school notebook he’d found in the discount section of the general store. No, he had found it in a bookstore discount section. The stiff cover even had sort of a nice texture before he’d beaten it up by shoving it into a drawer a million times.

The day crawled by with no interruptions, leaving Martin on edge. Peter hadn’t come by once. Perhaps he’d assumed Martin had had any boldness scared out of him, an aggravating thought. He had the will to act. He also had some amount of self preservation left in him, that was all.

By lunchtime he was itching to talk to anyone, but texting the others was off limits and it was so dreary outside that going out to eat was a non-starter. He supposed he could stop by the grocery store. He knew some of the people from when he’d worked there. Most of the ones he’d worked with had also left, but maybe…

No, that was a stupid idea. He wasn’t seeing anyone unless they came to him.

No one did.

So in his time off the clock, he stared at his little notebook and hoped his brain would think of anything to say.

The weather had taken a more miserable turn by the time he’d left work in the evening. He only saw a few birds struggling in the gales, none of them particularly watchful. If he had to guess, they didn’t care much about what anyone was doing. Not great material for a report, but maybe for a poem when the feeling hit.

The streets were largely empty as people avoided the high winds and mist that sprayed against Martin’s glasses, making it a challenge to see anything around him. He had half a mind to just stow them away, but there was going to be water in his eyes no matter what he chose to do. Just another little thing to make his day worse that he couldn’t change.

Part of him considered that the weather often matched his mood, but it wasn’t hard for bad weather to pair with sour thoughts. Nearly all weather was bad and nearly all moods were sour. Correlation, etcetera.

As much as he’d wanted to check his phone as soon as work was over, the others could wait until he’d stopped feeling so damned sorry for himself.

And he did feel awful, though there was no inciting incident. It had been a long, tedious day where the words wouldn’t flow, the world was grey, and any residual happiness from his conversation with Jon had been slowly eaten away by the loneliness of the present. Why was it so hard to hold onto those good things? A good start was supposed to make the day better, not make the rest of the day look worse.

It had to be everything at the lighthouse. He’d always been moody as a person, but the stress had to be getting to him. His head shouldn’t have been hurting from holding back tears when nothing had happened.

God, the squinting wasn’t helping, either. He knew where he was going, of course, but the streetlights were barely helping. The sky had decided to paint itself over everything, a dark, grey blob of water and concrete and fog. The walk down the hill was going to be a slippery pain, even in his grippy boots.

Had he passed by the florist? He probably should have by now, but the main road hadn’t ended yet.

And even when he got home, oh joy, it would be to sit at a table and eat with his mother, and based on her tastes she would love to stand outside in the misery of it all even though it would be terrible for her health. What was the point of trying when another person wouldn’t even listen-

He’d been walking for too long.

The road continued on, no longer heading into the surrounding trees but stretching itself past the point of impossibility. And at the end, in a place where it should not have been visible through the colorless mist, was a large, familiar house.

Ah, Martin thought. Someone had decided to talk to him today.

Looking behind him, the lighthouse was just barely visible. Looking to either side was a fool’s errand, as everything had been consumed by the grey.

He slipped the mobile phone out of his pocket and bent over to shield it from the rain. The screen lit up at his touch, but as expected any and all communication was blocked. Nevertheless, he opened the group chat and began to type.

Martin: i think simon wants to talk. everything is fog and i cant go anywhere else. hoping my phone makes it out so this makes it

He pressed send, then mustered up whatever hope he had and added:

Martin: talk to you soon

Tag Game

I got tagged by @son-of-a-bitch-spn-family

Rules: Tag 15 people you want to know more about

Name: Lindsay

Gender: Genderqueer femme

Sign: Cancer

Height: 5′3″

Sexuality: Bi

Lockscreen: Ugly stripey vintage wallpaper. My homescreen is ugly floral vintage wallpaper. I had a theme and I ran with it.

Ever had a crush on a teacher?: Not in high school, but there were a couple professors I had a bit of a crush on. My one hot butch professor bought me a drink once, - not in a skeevy ‘hitting on my student’ kind of way, but in a ‘I recognize you as my student and rightfully assume that as a student you have no money, so let me pay for you to be nice’ way.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Hopefully much the same, except with a child and more money, and preferably no longer living in the city if the position I’ve had my eye on in our one sub-office ever opens up.

If you could go anywhere right now where would you go?: A quiet cabin on a lake, but one with good wifi.

Coolest Halloween costume: That I’ve done? I really like my gym teacher Dean costume and I went as Amelia Earhart once, but I’ve also done some fun ones with Kenny - we went as Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder one year, and as Gomez and Morticia Addams another. Last year we went as Artemis and a deer-man.

Favorite 90’s show: I actually watched very little TV in the 90s, partially because my sister and I were allowed very little TV, and partially because I preferred reading, so most 90s shows I’ve seen I’ve only watched in the past 5 or so years, and some of them don’t hold up very well. I’m going to go with Xena.

Have you ever been stood up?: Not that I can recall, though one time, Kenny and I accidentally stood each other up, because we went to two different locations of the same restaurant and couldn’t find each other.

Last kiss not from family: If we’re counting my husband as family, then it’s been years. I guess it was probably when Kenny and I had a poly thing going with a guy we were friends with, before that went south.

Ever been to Las Vegas?: Nope

Favorite shoes: I have this pair of brown brogue pumps I love, but also the shows I wore to my wedding, which are pale turquoise and white pumps with little laces. I do wear them, but not often because I’m scared to ruin them and they are two cute to ruin.

Favorite fruit: Nectarine

Favorite book: Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, any of the Tortall books. Though these days, if I’m not reading fanfic, I’m reading historical romance.

Stupidest thing you’ve ever done?: One time Kenny and I were shopping for a pretty fitbit band for his mom, and I said, “Oh, maybe I should pick one out for me, too.” I don’t have, and have never had, a fitbit. This probably is nowhere near the stupidest thing I’ve ever done, but it was recent.

Tagging: Who am I kidding? I never tag people. If you want to fill this out, consider yourself tagged.

ok, i’m rewatching TST and writing down everything that bothers me. part 3

1:00:00 onwards

part 1: [X] part 2: [X]

long post

-sherlock is easy to follow apparently. aj was not able to follow mary, but he found her through sherlock. is that sherlock blaming himself?

-john watson always wanting to talk about everything. john?!

-when mary tries that “it was always the four of us” spiel aj responds very cynically. not that much of a family then?

-considering her earlier outburst, mary looks pretty chill after being told someone out of her ‘family’ was tortured to death

-his captors forgot about him for six years, but he didn’t starve or died of thirst? and was still able to pick up ‘whispers’? why didn’t they kill him after he wasn’t “fun to torture” anymore? i’m calling psychological reconditioning.

-”every day as they tore into me. amo amo amo” yeah, reconditioning.

-was all of this based on a misunderstanding or was it conscious misdirection to make aj act like this?

-mycroft, walking wikipedia, not picking up a word in latin?

-john obviously sees that he’s being hypocritical about the ‘so many lies’ thing.

-john is always so much more smug, cocky and flirty in sherlock’s mind. is sherlock really making all of this up?

-btw who took the pic from john’s lockscreen? it wasn’t mrs hudson, bc they’re not looking into the camera. did sherlock take the pic with his phone and sent it to john?

-what is that smug little playa grin supposed to mean? john is NOT like that.

-e... eeeeee... are there any female characters from doyle canon starting with e?

-he sends hey, not hi.

-the texts from bed don’t start with ‘hi’ either. but sherlock usually ends his with SH. maybe it really is harry watson? then again the ‘miss you’ reminds me of moriarty’s ‘miss me’

-i don’t think it’s sherlock sending these, but maybe they’re something he wishes he could send?

-the texts he sends from the bus sound waaay guiltier and not playful at all. but ‘it was nice to get to know you a little’ implies at least some correspondence. so maybe the texts in bed really were from the woman?

-she looks dejected and understanding even before he sends the last text, she couldn’t possibly have read it yet.

-also the big bad of this season LITERALLY looms from the poster behind her. can’t ignore this

-what doesn the poster say? HE’S BACK; Business; it’s murder (?) in the...???

-mary is the key to solving the case, “They know eeeeverything”

-was john going to tell mary about the bus woman before they got the texts? also: why did they get the textx almost simultaneously??

-sherlock send a riddle to mary, only john got the exact location? but both knew where to go? how did mary know?

-so the old lady also has an obsession with sharks and just so happens to be sitting there waiting for agents all the time. what a feckeng coincidence.

-the lady sees agents as sharks. sherlock sees sharks as predators. agents are predators?

-”couldn’t have chosen it better myself. then i never could resist a touch of the dramatic.” sherlock is calling himself out. is this the confirmation that all of this is just happening in his head?

-how many times does someone say “i knew this would happen someday” this ep? the destiny thing again.

-”you are very sure of yourself aren’t you?” “with GOOD reason” ouch this hurts when you know what he’s going to say later on.

-and again the samarra thing. to me that’s the biggest proof for the mind palace/coma/dream theory. they cannot possibly all have this story at the tip of their tongues at any given moment. that just makes no sense.

-sherlock is too cocky in thinking he can manipulate the secretary and it ends badly.

-”maybe i can still surprise you” this is either sherlock @ himself: don’t be to sure of yourself or it is the authors telling us to suspect a big twist.

-”come on, be sensible!” “nah, don’t think so.” boy, they gonna do something big.

-why is sherlock not moving? mary had the time to jump, why didn’t sherlock move? is that him scolding himself for hesitating?

-norbury says “surprise”, but doesn’t look surprised at all that mary would do something like this.

-john didn’t see anything and doesn’t have any context.

-mary’s goodbye sounds incredibly textbook. like she practiced it.

-what is she saying? “hey sherlock, i still like you, did I ever say?” is she saying that?

-look, i love mary, but this death doesn’t make me sad, because i knew it would happen and it just feels so..... weird? idk how to explain it.

-”you were my whole world. mary watson was the only life worth living.” i’m sorry but ive heard that exact sentence in different versions at least 20 in different movies. its so ...fake?

-I needn’t say how ooc john blaming sherlock is to me, there have been a lot of posts about this

-lestrade’s and mycroft’s looks though. we know from tab that sherlock instinctively knows that the both of them will always be there for him, i think you can see this here as well

-we don’t see the funeral, just a coffin burning (blue flames) and john walking across a graveyard, pacing in his home, ignoring his phone

-then, almost like waking up, we hear ella’s voice while still seeing john’s face. maybe we are just now waking up from the ‘reoccuring dream’

-so i have two theories. either most of what we see in the ep was a dream or mindpalace and ella is real or it’s the other way round and sherlock is hallucinating her in his mindpalace, trying to help himself cope with everything (would explain why the office looks different). it looks like they’re in an attic, maybe a metaphor for ‘head’?

-mycroft’s fridge is pretty empty, but he has lots of stuff sticking to it, what’s ‘13th’ supposed to mean? or is it 13.00, can’t read it

-yay sherrinford. who may be a girl.

-the baloon john is still there, but deflated, hanging from the table

-ouch, sherlock using ‘norbury’ to keep himself in check, bc he’s so afraid of fucking up again

-miss me? is moriarty’s catchphrase and mary knew that. was kind of cruel to use it.

-judging by mary’s hair this video is not very old at all

-telling that we do’t get to see john’s note, but molly’s ‘you don’t need to read it now’ makes me think that the content is either hurtful or should be kept a secret

-the way molly repeats ‘anyone’ makes it sound like john also stressed it when he told her what to tell sherlock. maybe it’s a clue? or maybe im just grasping straws here

-again samarra and sharks

-idk, but her ‘go to hell, sherlock’ doesn’t sound all that hateful to me.

soooooooo, in conclusion. the major motifs of this ep were: sherlock feeling insecure and hating himself for his arrogance, is destiny inevitable? and an upcoming plot twist. oh and that everything is impostant, but should be taken with a grain of salt.

The Development Of Technology.

Mere months after Lenovo's Superfish adware fiasco, Samsung has today raised fresh worry regarding Windows susceptabilities triggered by PC producers fooling around behind the scenes. To do this, the Redmond-based innovation business is irritating customers on their Windows 10 lockscreen. Lenovo, China's biggest supplier of Computers, purchased IBM's computer service in 2005, greatly to gain access to IBM's ThinkPad line of sales and also computer systems pressure. Since it's a effective and also mobile Windows 10 computer system, you can install it anywhere to gather and also examine data in genuine time.

While he recognized ways to fix as well as program computer systems pretty well, he was not a computer system scientist or an élite scientist, and his consistent sadness forced him to seek a fate higher than tweaking corporate and also commercial devices. Modern computer systems based on the von Neumann architecture typically have equipment code in the form of a crucial programming language In sensible terms, a computer system program may be just a few instructions or include many millions of guidelines, as do the programs for word processing program and web browsers for instance.

Oppo F3 Plus Review

Oppo has had a good run with its pictures-centric ‘F collection’ ever since the Oppo F1 (Evaluate) launched in February final year. Since then, we’ve also had the F1s (Evaluation) and the F1 Plus (Evaluation) smartphones to fill one-of-a-kind gaps in the mid-variety segment. Oppo is still selling this series heavily today, both online and offline, and we’re pretty positive it has been a primary contributor to the business enterprise’s strong role inside the Indian market.

In 2017, Oppo is hoping to enlarge its attain with the brand new F3 series, of which the F3 Plus is the first version. Selfie-obsessed consumers stay the goal here and for that reason, Oppo has outfitted this smartphone with dual the front cameras. In contrast to Vivo’s V5 Plus (Evaluate), the second one digicam isn’t used for an intensity of subject. As an alternative, the Oppo F3 Plus has a wide-angle lens for group selfies, which honestly looks as if a much greater practical concept it truly is possible to have a much broader appeal (pun supposed).

Oppo typically caters to people shopping in the sub-Rs. 20,000 charge section, so the decal fee of Rs. 30,990 for the F3 Plus is probably a touch difficult to digest. Has Oppo performed enough to justify this sort of a price top class? Let’s take a glance.

Oppo F3 Plus design and build nice Oppo has hardly ever dissatisfied us with regards to constructing first-class and layout, and the F3 Plus keeps that subculture. The metallic unibody feels very robust and its rounded edges make it clean to keep. In spite of the smooth contact finish, we didn’t locate the phone too slippery at some point of our usage. The 6-inch show genuinely dominates the front of the phone, thanks to skinny borders on the perimeters. Striking appears aside, there’s nevertheless no getting around the fact that this is a huge cell phone, and quite heavy too. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro (Review), single-passed use is almost not possible without the hazard of losing it. You could decrease the show area down in single-handed mode if you clearly can not use arms.

The fingerprint sensor is brief for unlocking the tool and Similar to before, You may use it for other purposes like locking apps and documents. There are backlit capacitive buttons on both facet of it for navigation. The dual front cameras and sensors are on the top. The buttons on the edges are a piece of a attain, even for someone with large arms. The headphones socket, speaker, and Micro-USB port are located at the lowest. There is a SIM tray above the energy button and is the hybrid kind, so you’ll choose between a second SIM and a microSD card (as much as 256GB is supported).

The 6-inch show on the Oppo F3 Plus seems sharp thanks to the whole-HD decision however shades are too closely saturated that can make pix look a chunk unnatural. There’s no choice inside the Settings app to modify this both. contact reaction is good even though, and the cell phone has Gorilla Glass five protective the display.

The again of the telephone is instead undeniable with only a moderate bump for the digicam breaking the flat floor. Oppo has tried something new with the design of its antenna bands right here to present the F3 Plus some visual differentiation from the opposition.

General, we haven’t any qualms approximately the layout and end of this telephone. It isn’t always the perfect to stay with because of its length, however, if that’s your cup of tea, you then have to be glad. It’s a touch odd no longer to see a USB kind-C port, specifically given that this is an upper mid-variety 2017 phone. within the box (that’s as an alternative huge), you get a headset, ear suggestions, a silicone case, instructions, a SIM ejector, a USB cable and a significant electricity adapter that helps Oppo’s VOOC Flash Rate Mini well known. The smartphone also ships with a pre-applied display protector.

Oppo F3 Plus specs and functions The Oppo F3 Plus is prepared with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 653 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage, that’s a quite solid set of specs. Benchmark numbers may not be as right as what’s possible with a pinnacle-cease Snapdragon 821 SoC, which can be located inside the OnePlus 3T at a comparable charge, but you’d be tough pressed to virtually inform the difference in everyday usage.

The F3 Plus does position up a respectable display in benchmarks, scoring ninety-two,497 in AnTuTu and 35fps in GFXbench. different specifications consist of dual-band c084d04ddacadd4b971ae3d98fecfb2a b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth four.1, GPS, USB-OTG, and the standard suite of sensors, consisting of a gyroscope. a few remarkable omissions consist of FM radio and NFC. Many might not care about the latter but nearby radio is still critical and might be a deal breaker for a few.

The software state of affairs is a bit disappointing as the F3 Plus nevertheless runs ColorOS 3.zero based on Android Marshmallow 6.zero.1. On the brilliant aspect, Google Assistant is a gift, and it labored well at the telephone. Nothing else has definitely changed Because we last took ColorOS for a spin while we reviewed the Oppo A57. The interface and icons nonetheless have an iOS-like sense however they’re no longer blatant copies like we’ve seen on devices through some other Chinese producers. Additional settings for maximum device apps like the Gallery and a digital camera may be observed only within the important Settings app (Just like in iOS) As an alternative to getting them inside the respective apps, so there are a few unnecessary steps when choosing not unusual settings.

The notifications color still drops all of the ways down, which is not wished if you truly need to get to the quick settings toggles. also, notifications are shown on a different tab within the shade, forcing you to swipe far away from the toggle switches whenever you need to get to it. The F3 Plus functions a ‘Lockscreen mag’ which cycles via random wallpapers primarily based on the types you choose. This will be switched off if not wanted. You also get movement and display-off gestures and a backup provider known as O-Cloud to your contacts and SMSes.

Pre-set up apps consist of the Google suite, Facebook, Instagram, and WPS Office. Oppo additionally has its very own app save for folks who couldn’t be bothered signing in to the Play shop.

Oppo F3 Plus performance ColorOS appears well optimized, as popular performance is very good for a cell phone with these specifications. Apps load speed and multitasking are dealt with well. On average, we usually had kind of 2GB of RAM rate which is a good amount of headroom for running disturbing apps and video games. 4G labored nicely for us, and there’s guide for VoLTE too. We additionally didn’t face any problems with call nice at some point of our Overview. The upper component and edges of the smartphone get hot when charging and downloading apps or files, but with everyday utilization, the telephone seldom heated up too much.

One of the benefits of lugging around a large smartphone is the potential to actually revel in looking videos on any such large display. The F3 Plus is wonderful for catching up to your favorite suggests while traveling. We weren’t too glad about the oversaturated colors, however, in case you are not too choosy, you in all likelihood received thoughts. The unmarried speaker is quite powerful, and the sound is loud and pretty awesome. Audio improvements from Dirac can be enabled if you have a headset plugged in. The bundled headset has a cushty in shape, however, sounds a bit tinny.

The secondary front camera simply serves a sensible purpose. Rather than depth-of-subject tricks, like at the Vivo’s V5 Plus, the 8-megapixel sensor and its lens offer a far wider discipline of view. This allows you cram more humans into a body for institution selfies. Pix taken underneath precise lighting are fairly certain but there’s a fish-eye effect so that you’ll see barrel distortion within the history. The secondary the front camera has a f/2.four aperture, which isn’t extensive sufficient for noise-free photographs.

On the other hand, the primary sixteen-megapixel the front digital camera gives better low-light overall performance way to its f/2.zero aperture. You can transfer between the 2 cameras effortlessly using an icon next to the shutter button. We observed the screen flash to be quite beneficial at night time, and we adore how it automatically adjusts its depth relying on ambient light.

With all of this taking place within the front, Oppo hasn’t left out the rear digital camera. It also has a 16-megapixel sensor, however, There is dual PDAF and a f/1.7 aperture. The latter specification is just like what the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Moto G5 Plus offer, and at the same time as having such a huge aperture does help via decreasing noise and allowing brighter low-mild photographs, the great continues to be far from what the large manufacturers can supply.

Macro photographs in low mild, shadows and highlights have excellent dynamic variety, however, textures aren’t very sharp and finer info still look a chunk blurry. this is best virtually noticeable if you have a look at pictures at their complete length. without zooming in, Photos appearance precise.

Then again, the principle 16-megapixel the front digital camera gives higher low-mild overall performance way to its f/2.0 aperture. You could transfer among the two cameras effortlessly the use of an icon next to the shutter button. We observed the display flash to be quite useful at night, and we like the way it robotically adjusts its depth depending on ambient light.

With all of this happening in the front, Oppo hasn’t disregarded the rear camera. It also has a 16MP ,sensor, however, There is dual PDAF and a f/1.7 aperture. The latter specification is much like what the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Moto G5 Plus provide, and even as having this sort of wide aperture does assist by way of lowering noise and allowing brighter low-mild photographs, the high-quality continues to be ways from what the massive brands can supply.

Macro photographs in low mild, shadows and highlights have superb dynamic variety, however, textures aren’t very sharp and finer information nonetheless look a piece blurry. this is best sincerely substantive in case you study pics at their complete length. without zooming in, Images look excellent.

Verdict Oppo has priced the F3 Plus at Rs. 30,990, that is a massive premium over the brand’s typical offerings. The F3 Plus faces tough opposition from the OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017). In fact, You could even discover the LG G5 selling for as little as Rs. 32,000 online.

The F3 Plus does provide plenty for what you would pay. You get a well-built and exact looking tool, a sharp display, amazing battery existence, a successful SoC, and superb cameras. In truth, the second one digicam at the front is genuinely beneficial for an exchange and would not experience like a gimmick.

A pair of factors is amiss, like the lack of NFC and FM radio, and the closely saturated colors of the show. However, our largest gripe is the truth that the smartphone doesn’t deliver with Android Nougat, that is even extra of a downer now that Android O has been introduced already. We reached out to Oppo to apprehend the status of an Android N replaces, however, didn’t receive any conclusive reaction, which makes us wonder if it’s coming at all. We hope that this version isn’t left two generations at the back of.

If the F3 Plus changed into lots greater less expensive, we could have given it the benefit of the doubt. However, at this rate level, we consider that shoppers must be able to count on a right assist on the software front for as a minimum a couple of years.

All in all, the Oppo F3 Plus’s high charge might position human beings off, however, if the organization can begin providing well-timed software updates then this would not be a terrible choice.
