I know I’m running late, had trouble deciding on this months prompt.
July’s prompt is Pets or Animals
On tumblr tag it as Sherlockpromptchallenge and I’ll reblog them here. If you don’t see it in a few days, you can always submit or send a message. Rules/FAQ are here. And It’s not limited it to fic. If anybody wants to art/graphic/fanvid, have at.
I’d ask when you post on tumblr to include a rating/fandom and pairing if applicable. NSFW should be a link or behind a cut. Please tag fics throughly.
I noticed it too. I thought it was because there hasnt been anything major (atleast for the sherlock fandom) I think once s4 comes out tumblr would be bustling again
I hope so!
I feel like the creativity is a bit dormant.
There used to be so many challenges, and big bangs and exchanges, that was fun, I hope that comes back with the new season. It died fairly quickly with the special, but maybe it’s just because it wasn’t a full season…
I’ve still got that Sherlock Prompt Challenge going, which, I need to figure out the prompt for July, but I’ve at least had some response.
When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:
“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”
Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.
– Of the seven main characters, only two are white men
– Of these two men, one has dozens of hobbies which includes local food critic, sewing, yoga, and other traditionally non-masculine interests
– The other seems to be a stereotypical overconfident jerk, however most of his arcs revolve around messing up and having to acknowledge and genuinely apologize for his screwups
– One of the main characters is a middle aged gay man who isn’t a TV stereotype, who is married and lovingly committed, bringing up his husband in casual conversation throughout the show without it being the only important thing about his personality
– Every female character has a distinct personality, goals and fears and aspirations, and all have multiple episodes focusing solely on exploring their characters and development
– GINA MOTHERFUCKING LINETTI
– Terry Crews as a big buff doting father
– Humor that never relies on offensive jokes or stereotypes, that is genuinely funny with great comedic timing
– Multiple accounts of close friendships between men and women without any implications that there will be more
– The few relationships that do exist between the main cast are developed naturally over time
Thank you for reading, go forth and enjoy this fantastic show!
