AWESOME AUCTION

A writer I know has organized an online auction of TV memorabilia and other cool stuff, including some amazing SIMPSONS stuff and a chance to have a character named after you in a Michael Connelly novel! He asked me if I had anything worth auctioning off, so I donated some priceless ELEMENTARY props. So if you've ever wanted to own a piece of our little murder show, now's your chance.

Highlights include: Singlesticks! Unicorn Utopia! Moriarty's letter to Watson!

Proceeds go to the Entertainment Community Fund to help support below-the-line TV and Film workers struggling because of the strike, so it's a great cause.

Check out the auction here:

Sherlock's limits (Sherlock & Co)

John Watson's Twitter thread doing the classic list of Holmes' attributes, pretty much straight from canon:

Combined into one text below:

His limits:

1. Knowledge of Literature - nil 2. Knowledge of Philosophy - nil 3. Knowledge of Astronomy - nil 4. Knowledge of Politics - nil 5. Botany... Knows loads of stuff. But practical gardening knowledge... nil. 6. Knowledge of Pop culture - beyond nil. 7. Knowledge of Geology - practical. Into soil for some reason. 8. Knowledge of Chemistry - profound. 9. Knowledge of anatomy - Accurate, but unsystematic. 10. Knowledge of crime - Immense. 11. Plays the violin well (if he wants) 12. Can box and use a sword. 13. Good knowledge of British law. This is my flatmate. Sherlock Holmes.

Here's the list from the canon, A Study in Scarlet, to be precise:

I enumerated in my own mind all the various points upon which he had shown me that he was exceptionally well informed. I even took a pencil and jotted them down. I could not help smiling at the document when I had completed it. It ran in this way:

Sherlock Holmes–his limits

Knowledge of Literature.–Nil.

Philosophy.–Nil.

Astronomy.–Nil.

Politics.–Feeble.

Botany.–Variable. Well up in belladonna, opium, and poisons generally. Knows nothing of practical gardening.

Knowledge of Geology.–Practical, but limited. Tells at a glance different soils from each other. After walks has shown me splashes upon his trousers, and told me by their colour and consistence in what part of London he had received them.

Knowledge of Chemistry.–Profound

Anatomy.–Accurate, but unsystematic.

Sensational Literature.–Immense. He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century.

Plays the violin well.

Is an expert singlestick player, boxer, and swordsman.

Has a good practical knowledge of British law.

#elementary #cbs elementary #I'm on s2e10 #joans swag and sherlocks pathetic eyes have captivated me

[july-19th-club]

when you're telling your hindi tutor (after also telling your sex partners, random strangers, and your singlestick dummy) about your theories on the black dahlia case because your one partner has her own business and doesn't live with you anymore and your other partner tortured her rapist and had to skip town in order to not go to jail for it and now lives in england and you don't have anybody to word-vomit onto and he asks if you're lonely

Aight besties, i think i can do almost a whole post dedicated to a single Sherlock story

- A man smokes 500 cigarettes per week

- he is supposed to be in his 50s, but tbh with this habit I suspect he is 23

- A different man runs up the stairs, is breathing really heavily, Sherlock realises he's asthmatic, then offers him a cigarette

- Sherlock figures out what a woman looks like based on her pince-nez (sort of like eyeglasses). Apparently, she's not v hot. When Watson sees her, he thinks she's even less attractive because she has a big chin. This is one of the few times Watson doesn't want to fuck a woman he encounters. Also, is Watson attractive? He has 1-3 wives, and Sherlock seems pretty enamoured. I always assumes he looks like the guy from the bbc adaptation, who is the most normal bloke you've ever seen

- the woman with the pince-nez is the murderer (although it's more of an accidental killing). She has been in prison in Siberia for years, so i don't know when she had the time to go to the opticians

- she's in the UK to break into her husband's house, steal his papers, and use the information to free her boyfriend, who is still jailed in Siberia. They were betrayed by the aforementioned husband. She hates him. He still speaks fondly of/to her

- when Sherlock and Watson first move in together, Watson tries to figure out what Sherlock's job is. He writes a list of everything Sherlock seems to know, including "astrology-nil", "botany-variable. Well up on belladonna, opium and poisons generally. Knows nothing of practical gardening" (they live in a flat?), "anatomy-accurate, but unsystematic" and "is an expert singlestick player, boxer and swordsman".

When Watson put in his little list that Holmes is "an expert singlestick player, boxer, and swordsman" I wonder whether he had actually witnessed Holmes engaging in any of those activities (and if so, in what context), or if he just took Holmes' word for it that he's totally an expert lol.

I do sometimes wonder...

How long will it take before people realise that Kurt’s development and story during the Krakoa era of X-Books is fairly heavy-handed with its references with regard to the Prometheus mythos and relevant themes by extension. In fact, the whole of the Krakoa era (in particular, the Destiny of X arc, more or less follows the overarching classical Greek literature themes of Fate vs Destiny, Foresight vs Forethought.)

Without going in depth--

Prometheus in classical literature and mythology is the Titan God of forethought and crafty counsel; a figure considered to be a culture hero, and trickster in Greek mythology. Known as a champion of mankind/humanity for becoming a traitor to his fellow god-kin by gifting the spark of fire (that is stated to be the fire of creative power--knowledge in the form of civilisation, technology, the human arts and sciences; aka “human ingenuity”) to humans so that they may defy fate and surpass the gods. Further to that, his story is tied to Pandora’s box (unleashing of sorrows + suffering upon the world) and the spirit of Hope (“Elpis”); in fact, to some degree, Prometheus is seen (by extension) to be an ‘evil god’ for that -- blamed as the individual who caused blind hopes to live in the hearts of man. 

Kurt’s name literally means: “Bold/wise counsel” (following the Germanic roots of the word), it also means “wolf” (following the Turkic roots of the word). I don’t think it needs to be further explained on Kurt being a champion of humanity; many events in the comics display that, and the Judgment Day event speaks for itself. But the most damning of all I feel--isn’t that the philosophy (not religion; there is a very marked difference that people seem to enjoy brushing aside) he came up with in comics is literally named “The Spark”.

It’s that his home in Krakoa; the forked towers, is named the Narthex. 

In myth, Prometheus stole the spark of fire belonging to the gods in a hollow fennel; an item that carries the name Narthex--a Classical Greek word that the English language borrowed, and gave a definition that obliterated its original meaning.

The original meaning of Narthex, “giant fennel” had further derived meanings such as: an object that functioned as a schoolmaster’s cane and/or a singlestick for military exercise, as well as a splint for a broken limb. The term was also used to mean a container for medicated balm/ointment; thus appearing in medical works.

Now all most people know of the word is that its a term for a part of church architecture.

supernatural s13e20 unfinished business (w. meredith glynn)

taking a second to reflect i'm just about a year into this spn first time watch. first screenshot i took was in s1e2 and that was feb 1, 2023. inching closer to the end but damn.

wtf is happening with gabriel fighting a werewolf-esque whatever with a singlestick type thing. and this music? so cheesy 70s whatever. i see you jay g (christopher is also guilty of it when there's A Theme though so)

aww he's got a list like arya. ok so, like kill bill. which i tried to finally watch here not long ago and i couldn't get past the first fight scene in the house. feel like i might have enjoyed it when it came out when i was 23, but my appetite for tarantino tanked somewhere along the line. also, we already did a reservoir dogs homage episode, did we need another one?

these massive motel rooms, what even

haven't made a dean loves the magic fingers reference in a long ass time. reunion tour of references too

so this is a directed by speight episode too. ok

the apocalypse is good for mary's hair apparently

GABRIEL I call that art. But yes, without me, you two chuckleheads never would've known how to throw Lucifer back in the Cage. DEAN But instead of giving us a hand, you ran. And you just did it again when you ditched us in the bunker. GABRIEL All right, Dean-- I have more important things to do than to join your little band of merry men. DEAN Hey, what you're doing? This? This is not important. GABRIEL Every day, Asmodeus tortured me. Every… day! He fed off my grace for years! He used me, he debased me until I was… What I went through… you don't forgive. Everyone who had a hand in it will die. Get me?

a) this weird explanation/retcon of loki actually being someone else and that's why gabriel was pretending to be him is... weird. b) i get the impassioned speech but talking to two dudes with many more years or torture under their belts, i think they get it

DEAN Not like I care about killing gods, okay? But this whole revenge kick? It's a waste of time. SAM What if it's not? DEAN You've seen it, Sam-- with me, with Dad. Revenge only ends one way-- ugly. SAM Well, maybe it doesn't have to. DEAN Okay, I think I know what this is. SAM Okay, what is this? DEAN You. You're you're so hopped up on this “Kill Bill” fantasy of his. SAM No, no, no. This has nothing to do with me. DEAN If you had a shot at Lucifer, you wouldn't take it? SAM Of course I would. But this is about Gabriel. He needs our help. [Dean rolls his eyes, but agrees to hear out Sam’s plan back in the room] SAM Gabriel, you agree to help us, we'll agree to help you.

and a throwback to revenge never pays. but like, why doesn't sam just go for the obvious, we need his help and maybe he'll do it if we help him quid pro quo. jay bringing the eye rolling music juice, wouldn't expect anything else

GABRIEL Well, Sleipnir's a lot of things, but mainly, he is a coward. I will bet all the personal lubricant in the S.F.V… that after we killed Narfi, he ran straight back to papa's skirts.

and throwback to references i don't understand, that used to be a regular occurrence in kripke-era seasons. per the wiki:

S.F.V. refers to the San Fernando Valley in California, the center of the adult entertainment industry.

wonder how many people caught that, seems awfully obscure

MARY I know you've been winning all these fights, and you want to take him on so bad. I was just like you, with hunting. But I learned the hard way-- thinking you can win all the time, running in blind into every fight? That's how you make mistakes. And the people here, they-- JACK I'm doing this for them. MARY You can't help them if you're dead. And I can't lose another boy.

i'm sorry mary but i snorted. we just haven't had enough time to really establish this, and it's been backburner at best when it's around. #boymom 🤪🤪🤪

LOKI Yes, you do. Little bit. Our treatment of your friend is payback for a slight of a more personal nature. The death of my father, Odin. DEAN Oh, that wasn't him. Lucifer did that. LOKI Ah. But why was my father there in the first place? To parlay, to deal with Gabriel's brothers. When we first made terms, I had only one condition-- I would give him my face, teach him to be me, the trickster, if he agreed to abandon the more… volatile affairs of his family. Forever. When he hit that hotel, he broke that promise, and it cost my father his life.

hokay. never gonna retain any of this. i thought odin died another way but i think i'm thinking of zeus. big ask for me to care/remember the nonsense plot going on from an episode in s5. i can only imagine if i watched this as it aired. perpetually lost

SAM That's not… I'm saying this has become a whole thing with you lately. DEAN A whole thing? SAM Yeah. DEAN Since when? SAM Since the last time we opened up a rift. Since you decided to sideline me and then head to Apocalypse World with Ketch. DEAN Okay, well… we talked about that. SAM Did we? Because I gotta be honest, after everything, you're treating me like I-I deserve to be back at the kid's table or something.

good on you, sam

DEAN Sam, I'm not gonna apologize for protecting you. SAM So that's what you think you're doing here? DEAN You remember what happened the last time we had front row tickets to the Lucifer/Michael show? 'Cause I do. You died… and went to Hell. But see, this time, the apocalypse isn't looking for us. We're actually looking for it. I don't care what happens to me. I never really have. But I do care about what happens to my brother. SAM Dean, we're going to that place, and we're gonna save Jack and Mom. Together. And if something happens, we will deal with it together. And if we die? We'll do that together, too.

on one hand it's like oh yeah, maybe dean is feeling the lingering trauma of what happened the last time michael and lucifer were in their lives. but also, they let so much of that slide it feels like it's just being used for convenience. but whatever. i'd rather this than no conversation at all

and damn straight, sam, everything together. dying is a little much, and you didn't get to follow through on that one anyway. read a fic the other day that was about dean being afraid once sam's blurry wife got to heaven, he'd want to leave to be with her. and they made the point that sam had almost the same amount of years with the blurry wife as he did with dean. and now i'm making myself sad again 🥲🫠 this is why i don't read much heaven fic
