Yay new fic from you! Very excited, especially since I'll have time to catch up on fic reading over winter break :D

Also, re: Elementary, I've seen all of one episode and I already ship Sherlock/Joan like mad. Just, their precious faces *__*

Eeee I hope you like it! It's a bit silly, and today I am going to write the porn *facepalm*

Omggg bb it just gets better and better! YES THEIR PRECIOUS FACES, HAHAHA YOU WILL LOVE ALL OF THE EPISODES! :DD

I know that a lot of Elementary fans are thrilled with the idea of a truly platonic close male-female friendship and some of those people may not be shipping him with Joan because they are excited to explore that friendship. I can hope that is a motivation at least.

Anyway, I agree with your take on the show. I adore it and I love how we see so much heart from Sherlock beneath his prickly exterior. The end scene where he showed up to support Joan? Amazing.

Yeeeeeeeees, which is absolutely valid and fine--I ship them platonically too, and for me shipping doesn't mean that I necessarily want them to be canonically together, either. Augh I'm pretty sure I'm not making sense but--I think if any show could bring them together as a couple and DO IT WELL it would be this show, but if they don't it's not going to affect my shipping either way.

BUT! People who don't ship Sherlock/Joan don't HAVE to ship Sherlock/Bell! There's no rule that says Thou Must Have A Ship To Be Invested In A Show. (Once Upon a Time springs to mind as a show I watch without really shipping anyone.) Soooo...yeah.

But anyway, yes, absolutely, the HEART we see in Sherlock--you nailed it on the head. How much he wants to be someone she doesn't give up on, I just. akdfjldjflsdjf

OKAY BUT (and take this with a grain of multi-shipper salt, because in addition to the feelings I am about to have at you, I have read and loved Sherlock/Joan already and ship them like burning. I mean, aside from Lucy Liu's overwhelming hotness and their back-and-forth dynamic and everything about them that is awesome, JESUS SHOW HOW MUCH HARDER CAN YOU HIT MY SICK!FIC BUTTON, WITH THE TEA AND THE CARETAKING AND THE WORRIES ABOUT SHERLOCK DYING OF EXPOSURE LIKE OH MY ACTUAL GOD): I don't feel like this is a show/fandom where this criticism is really necessary. Because, like, okay, if Detective Bell was a white dude I would totally be right there with you, or if Alfredo (because that's the other slash pairing I'm seeing crop up in discussion) was a white dude I'd be right there with you, but...they're not? Like, this is not "Let me skip over the lady to provide myself some more white dick/white dick!" And if what we've got here is a fandom with the main het pairing being the lead/a badass POC and the main slash pairing being the lead/ ( ... )

Yeah, that's very true, I do need to take into account that this is already a fandom that has weeded out most of the people who went "EW GIIIIRLS" and refused to even give the show a chance. And totally, totally agreed on the fact that lead/POC needs to be a thing that happens more (ShawnGus yes and also from Leverage people shipping Eliot/Nate instead of Eliot/Hardison just just rrrgh *kicks things*)--I was just getting hung up on the feeling that...like, a woman in a ship is SO BAD that they'll settle for a black dude just this once. WHICH IS NOT FAIR TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS FANDOM, I SHOULDN'T EXPECT SO LITTLE OF THEM. *hangs head*

And yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah side-eyeing anyone who thinks Joan/Liam is a viable ship, ugh, no, let that unhealthy clusterfuck sit forever on the ocean floor.

Okay. Have you mailed those cards you addressed yesterday?

queenklu December 9 2012, 22:56:49 UTC
