This is not good for my blood pressure

[awanderingbard]

Sometimes I would like to give the Sherlock fandom a Valium and tell it to relax.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm going to stop looking at tumblr and make some toast.

I sense there will be a lot of toast making before Series Three gets here.

Times like this I'm glad I don't have a Tumblr. Of course, being a long time Whovian all I feel like saying to Sherlock fandom sometimes is "Try waiting 16 bloody YEARS and see how you like that!" but of course, I haven't (except for now). I only go on Tumblr for the pretty, and can avoid the crazy mostly

I stay in my corner of fandom where people are sane-crazy and aren't throwing their toys around.

Yeah, I'm usually pretty good about staying with the sane-crazies on tumblr, but sometimes they comment on what the crazy-crazies are up to and I get indignant.

It's not so much about the waiting this time. Just the shippers being idiots. I don't care what you ship, but for the love of God, don't so delude yourself into thinking it's canon that you're telling the creators of the show, who are following the original books, that they're wrong.

I'm one of the shippiest shippers who ever shippped but even I don't delude myself that the things I like to see are ever going to be canon - especially when canon that goes back years has other ships staring you in the face. Sherlock wise, that doesn't stop me shipping Sherlock/John/Greg down to my shippy toes, but I know it's never going to happen onscreen!

I don't begrudge anyone their ships at all. Ship away. Just do it peacefully. That's all I ask.
