ALL Air-Date Announcements Pertain to Sherlock (and If They Don't, You'd Better Apologize)
Wank and write up taken from the little mousey over at wank_report.

Tumblr user and Teen Wolf fan Heyysourwolf posts the air date for TW's third season. Unsurprisingly, she tags the post #s3 spoilers and--follow me closely, here--#teen wolf.

Sherlock fen, for no discernable reason whatever, assume that the post is regarding the air date for S3 of their show. Because no other show on TV anywhere is entering its third season, apparently. Or something.

Once they figure out that the post was not, in fact, about the return of the BBC series, Sherlock fen lose their shit.

Completely.

Sherlock fandom wants an apology RIGHT NOW, Heyysourwolf. A FORMAL apology. And we're going to berate you with misogynistic slurs and rant about how this is all your fault and how egregious it is that you should make yourself out to be the injured party and, above all, how immature you are, until we get it.

After all: "SOME OF US ARE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE DO YOU EVEN FUCKING THINK BEFORE YOU POST? GOD I HOPE YOU GET PUNCHED IN THE TITS."*

* Probability that that particular entry is just somebody awesome trolling the shit out of the other anons with sarcasm: moderately high

EDIT: Aja has written an article about the wank for The Daily Dot.

	I just want to perv on Rupert Graves. I love that man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unf, Rupert Graves. fans self gently Foxiest silver fox there is. Have you seen Different For Girls? He spends nearly the entire thing in biker leathers, and also it is the most adorable Nineties romcom about a guy and a translady who was his best friend at school. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I haven't! It's living on my Netflix queue. I did watch Maurice, though, and there's a lot of young naked Rupert Graves in Maurice. Delightful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, Maurice. I love it and it makes me sad in equal amounts. Like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Both the book and the movie make me the saddest Kumquat in the world. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I must admit I'm just a tourist; I didn't read the book and I only went to the movie because of Cumberbatch. I am not sure if the reason I got so confused by the plot is because I fail at intrigue, or because I was just too distracted by his magnificent ginger sideburns. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It may be a little of A and a little of B! I had no trouble with the movie, but I've read most of the George Smiley books. OTOH, my BFF said she had no problem following along and she hadn't read any of the books; on the third hand, another of my friends who hadn't read the books couldn't follow at all. So, IDK.

	I watched the last third of it on HBO at my parents' a few weeks ago, and it made much more sense the second time around. I think I just fail at intrigue; I prefer the kind of spy movie where shit blows up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kumquat_of_doom 2013-02-26 01:41 am UTC (link)
	I like them both! I think it depends on my mood, I guess. Although I am always good with a movie where shit blows up. Unless it's by Michael Bay. Fuck Michael Bay, seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It is definitely on the bittersweet side of things at times. I read Tinker, Tailor right after I read The Spy Who Came In From the Cold. In that light it was actually less sad. Which says something about Le Carre, and probably explains why I haven't read more of him, even though he's brilliant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I found Le Carre (or Robert Ludlum, Ken Follett, etc.) more gripping to read back when the Cold War was actually a thing. Nowadays I find him pretty dated. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	IDK, I thought The Constant Gardener was pretty good. I haven't read Follett in years and years. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'll have to check it out! Shows like People of Interest and Nikita are rekindling my interest in spy thrillers. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Unf. First saw him in Maurice, instant squee. And he has aged very well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For real. (Reply to this)(Parent)
