I'm a long time follower - you're actually the first blog I followed 😅 and even though recently I haven't been as active with posting and keeping up with the cast (mainly because the show has ended and a few people have lost interest), I still keep up with your blog and I have to say that you're literally a gem! ✨ you take so much time out of your day answering asks, giving advice and linking posts/searching fics etc that I find truly amazing 💕 I don't know where I'm going with this message tbh but a post of yours popped up on my dash and I felt such a gratitude and maybe nostalgia of what the fandom used to be (I was there live posting when s4 aired so... yeah) and I wanted to express my appreciation to you! I'm still around and posting occasionally and sometimes you're the motivation for it as well as the love I still have for the show (and the optimistic side of me that maybe, just maybe, we'll get more of the show). So, thank you for your blog, for the amazing things you said and posted, for all the things you provided even during these tremendously hard times we're going through.
you're a badass, Steph! 💪
I hope you are safe and happy!
p.s. I know this looks like a whole essay and I'm sorry for that 🙈
HI LOVELY!! *HUGS*
Oh gosh, sorry I took so long to post this; when I first saw it, I just skimmed and thought this was a long-reply ask so I’ve let it alone for a bit, but DERP it’s you being wonderful and writing this lovely paragraph about me. Thank you <3 <3 This is so so sweet!! <3 I try my best to be a place for people to come and just enjoy themselves. I’m happy that you enjoy it as well!
Hello!! I'm currently using your "button" theme and in the about/navigation links there is a glitch i think because instead of being next to each other they appear the one underneath the other. Is there something in the code that i could fix or anything? Thank you in advance!! xx
Okay, so, I saw that other people have this problem too, and I’m not actually sure why it is happening (because it’s not happening on the preview), but I finally found the fix! I will also update the theme code for any new installs.
Go into the code and search for
. Then delete the line break and all spaces between the two links:
hello, I'm magda. for some unknown reason, I only happened to stumble upon the show this october, so, I'm still quite new. but it was all love at first sight (just as john and sherlock's story). I got on here immediately after watching the show, because my mind was full with questions and theories, and I just had to know if there were others thinking that. and so began the story of my obsession with the two lovely idiots, sherlock and john, and me joining the most wonderful fandom family ever. x
The Johnlock Family is always willing to welcome newcomers, Magda, I’m glad you joined us! Our questions and theories are what bring us all together!
Do you have a guide for newbies? I mean a guide with meta and theories?
Hi Lovely!
Certainly, in the header of my blog! Those are pretty old posts (though this is the most recent on on there). I haven’t read a lot of post-S4 meta, but I can give you a list of links to some of my other masterposts that link to the S4 meta I have read!

Let me know if there’s anything specific you’re looking for!
Sherlock is nothing sweet, usually flinty eyes taking on an inexpectedly soft glow, glazing over in awe and affection as Rosie gurgles at him, stretching out her little arms and making grabby hands at him.
Sherlock faintly hears the door open, John’s heavy gait going from the coat rack to behind Sherlock’s armchair. A pair of warm arms promptly drape over Sherlock’s bony shoulders, fingertips stroking softly over his clavicle.
“Hello Rosie, been a good girl today?”
Sherlock can feel each individual breath, washing over the shell of his ear and making his heart beat somewhat unbearably fast. A phantom touch on the crown of his head speaks of a soft kiss pressed into unruly curls, with upturned lips and special smiles that were as precious as the earth itself.
Rosie gurgled again and reached for Sherlock, cooing happily as Sherlock leant down to pick her up, crading her gently in his arms.
John walked over to the smiling bundle in Sherlock’s arms, before again pressing a chaste kiss in an endearingly similar ser ot curls.
my two favourite people in the world, john’s eyes said.

'Moana' star gets whipped in head with a flag mid-Oscars performance
Oh, the perils of live performance. Despite getting whipped in the head with a flag mid-performance, 16-year-old Moana star Auli'i Cravalho performed like a true professional at Sunday's Oscars. Cravalho, who voices the titular Moana, sang "How Far I'll Go," the film's Oscar-nominated song. SEE ALSO: Oscars 2017: Full winners list Behind her, a group of background dancers waved large swaths of blue fabric, one of which caught her in the head mid song. Whoops #Oscars pic.twitter.com/dHO9AGKMUx — Mashable (@mashable) February 27, 2017 But don't worry about Cravalho. She took it in stride.

God bless live TV. #Oscars — Dixie Roberts (@dixieinnewyork) February 27, 2017 And then Moana got hit in the head on the #oscars. — Adam Shankman (@adammshankman) February 27, 2017 Auli'i Cravalho got hit in the head while singing at the #Oscars & still killed it.
