L'enfant terrible

"Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams."
-C. Baudelaire-

Ella, painfully french, 22. All you need to know about me is that my car is a horse named Bob De La Flute and that I ingest caviar and children's tears for breakfast; Like everyone else.
I'm almost never a little more than a bit serious.

I owe a devoted love to Charles Baudelaire, makeup, Helmut Newton, and a lot of things British/Irish. Lingerie, erotica, celtic folklore, shoes, lace, faeries (thank you ingrid), amongst loads of other things.



I’VE WORKED IT ALL OUT!

finalproblem:

[I absolutely have to post this one right now, because thefrailtyofgeniusisaudience, october-the-xmas-octopus, and I are clearly right on the edge of becoming a hive mind. This is beautiful fandom madness!]

The Reichenbach Fall was clearly all about fairy tales, and they mentioned fairies in The Hounds of Baskerville as well. Given Arthur Conan Doyle’s well-known connection to fairies, THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE.

Jim Moriarty was the one who brought up fairy tales. In the original stories, Moriarty’s called “James,” not “Jim.” Moffat and Gatiss know the canon really well, so why would they call him “Jim” UNLESS IT WAS A CLUE?

Jim carved “IOU” into an apple, which is of course connected to fairy tales as well through Snow White. IT ALL FITS TOGETHER, PEOPLE.

The only letter in “IOU” that’s also in “JIM” is the “I.” Remove the “I” from “JIM,” and you’re left with “JM.” HANG ON, BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT TO GET AMAZING.

Sherlock didn’t seem to like fairies when he was talking about Bluebell. But we know that Jim and Sherlock were mirrors for each other, so if Jim liked fairy tales Sherlock must like something that’s similar but different. What are fairies? Little winged creatures. AND WHAT LITTLE WINGED CREATURES DOES SHERLOCK HOLMES FAMOUSLY LOVE?

That’s right: bees! Or if we follow the obvious clue that “I owe you” = “IOU,” then we know that “bee” = “B.” Combine “B” with the word “fairy” and you get “bairy.” Say it out loud. DO YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING?

“Bairy” sounds like “Barrie.” Put the “JM” from earlier with it, and you get “J.M. Barrie.” That’s right, the author who was friends with Arthur Conan Doyle. THIS IS A HISTORICAL FACT.

Now, if you want proof that they went to all this trouble to hide references to J.M. Barrie, then all you need to do is think about the other thing they went out of their way to reference twice in Series 2: pirates. They mentioned pirates in A Scandal in Belgravia and in The Hounds of Baskerville. Two references to fairies and two references to pirates. What story by J.M. Barrie is known for having both pirates and fairies? PETER PAN.

And what is Peter Pan famous for? Two things. First, being the boy who won’t grow up. JUST LIKE SHERLOCK.

The second thing Peter Pan is famous for is being able to fly. And Jim (or should I say “J.M.”) said flying is just like falling. Sherlock fell, which meant he actually flew. SHERLOCK IS PETER PAN.

So if we think about how Peter Pan flew, then obviously that will tell us everything we need to know about how Sherlock survived his “fall” (a.k.a. flight). IT’S JUST THAT SIMPLE.

Everyone knows Peter Pan flew with the help of pixie dust. “Pixie dust” is also the nickname of a substance made from pig bladders that can help regrow human tissue. It’s being tested on soldiers wounded in Afghanistan. Sherlock’s best friend is an army doctor who was wounded in Afghanistan. THERE IS NO WAY SHERLOCK HADN’T HEARD OF THIS DRUG.

SHERLOCK DIDN’T SURVIVE THE FALL. He jumped, and died. But he had asked Molly for a favor, remember? That favor was to give him a whole bunch of powdered pig’s bladder, which allowed all of Sherlock’s damaged tissue to regrow and bring him back to life. Which is how we saw him looking good as new in the cemetery.

THEY HAD ALL THE CLUES HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT THE WHOLE TIME. I LOVE HOW CLEVER THIS SHOW IS! BRING ON SERIES 3!!!

[Happy #Reichencrack Day!]

DEAD.
