Pretty Things & Monsters

This pretty thing went to a small Swedish village yesterday – there is a special kind of excitement in knowing that someone on the other side of the world is willing to pay international shipping, wait for ages, and then pay customs fees just to be able to wear something you made with your own hands. 

Anonymous asked: ok, hm, i LOVE your theory about Sherlock's acting, it's AMAZING, ur awesome. and while i read that whole thing, i remember this: in the books, Holmes gets very surprised when Moriarty comes at 221B, but in the series Sherlock seems so different, so calm, i don't know. I think this can be interesting to point it out, maybe. wll, i hope you get the ideia, anyway. congratulations, ur an inspiration. xoxo

If I remember correctly, John calls Sherlock and warns him that Moriarty is out and will be coming after him, so maybe that’s why Sherlock doesn’t seem surprised in the BBC version? I’m glad you liked my crackpot writing, but there are so many better Sherlock theories out there. Go check out finalproblem’s theory index and also her Reichenbach A to Z game. :D

Not bad for over 2,000 years old.

Made of emerald, carnelian, amethyst, and gold, this string of Ptolemaic jewels was made into a necklace by Getty conservators. However, these beads may have been worn as earrings by the lucky Alexandrian woman whom they once adorned.

Anonymous asked: So I just read your crackpot theory on how Sherlock lived and: YOU ARE A FUDGIN GENIUS. SERIOUSLY. YOU ARE BRILLIANT. SORRY FOR THE YELLING BUT IT'S LATE AND WOW YOU'RE SMART. SERIOUSLY. GOOD WORK. YOU MUST REALLY LIKE RIDDLES. I'm almost a little sad I read it, but at the same time not. That was bloody brilliant. Good for you.

I’m not brilliant, darling, I was fresh out of college, bored out of my mind, stuck in an office with no windows, claustrophobic, and high on coffee. Those were dark times. :P  But I’m glad you liked it, thank you for letting me know. ❤

Anonymous asked: Your "Rumplestilskin" Theory for Sherlock is absolutely mind-blowing and I believe it's very very, madenningly close to the truth. (How many times did you have to watch the series to put it together?). I just wanted to say thank-you for sharing it and I truly believe that's what actually happened. You've a brilliant eye for putting things together. P.S. Hope you get a more exciting job.

I made the whole thing up, so I’d be very surprised if that’s what actually happened. XD I watched TRF once at a normal speed and then 3 more times at a fast speed, stopping at “relevant” parts. I hope I get a more exciting job, too – I swear, the only thing that keeps me from quitting and going on an adventure is the student loan I’m paying off. :P 

Anonymous asked: Hey - I absolutely loved your Rumpelstiltskin theory and I would be really honoured if I could write a fanfiction based on it. Don't worry - I'll credit you and everything. :)

Thank you, darling! Do whatever you like with that silly thing, there’s no need to credit me! :)

I saw this ancient bee coin from aleyma.tumblr.com on my dash, and I just wanted it so badly because bees. I made a silver replica to use as a pendant, and it’s all pretty and sparkly, but I’m comparing the pictures now, and of course – the 387-301 BC coin looks like a real bee, whereas my bee looks like a smiling, deranged lunatic.

I tried? 

Anonymous asked: Haven't read your entire blog yet, so, apologies if you covered this, but, what about the possibility that Richard Brook really was just an actor, whom Moriarty trained/brainwashed into thinking he was Moriarty? Doesn't it seem odd that someone that brilliant, with everything seemingly going their way would commit suicide so readily?

The writers mentioned that Moriarty is really dead and not coming back, so I interpreted his suicide as a mixture of boredom and insanity. Your ideas are a lot better and would make for a more interesting storyline, I think. ❤ Check out finalproblem’s blog for more theories!

Anonymous asked: Is there any importance to the constant references to the German Language and/or Vienna in Sherlock? There is at least one reference in every single episode, often more... is there history perhaps, or something that I am missing? Clues you know? Brilliant theories, by the way.

I don’t think these references have a real hidden meaning, but I can turn them into clues if you’d like. Crazy crackpot clues. :P 

I’m currently working on heart and puzzle pieces for the Autism Awareness Campaign (hence my lack of updates). This is just a wax model; the finished charms will be in sterling silver. It’s an honor for me to be a part of this project, I hope to do it justice.

Anonymous asked: His coat is done up, he never has his coat done up....possibly something underneath it. He throws his phone away because he keeps it on the inside of his coat and cannot undo it to put it away. In the first episode he says that he prefers to text so would he not just text John 'goodbye, I am a fake'? Though this may be used for more impact upon the audience, he could have been recording his message to show Moriarty's associates that he is definitely dead and will be no threat. I don't know!!

“He throws his phone away because he keeps it on the inside of his coat and cannot undo it to put it away.” 

aldksjflskgjhlg ???? O_O

Uh oh. This is actually very interesting… Oh no, don’t make me watch it again, stop tempting me, or I’ll have to write another monster post!!! :P But I love your ideas!!! ♥ 

Anonymous asked: Your theory about Richard Brooks being real, and Moriarty being fake is genius.

No, YOU are a genius for having the patience to read that monstrosity! Even I can’t be bothered to read it, and I was the one who wrote it. :P

Anonymous asked: Why have you stopped posting sherlock related posts?your rumpelstiltskun theory,while having a few tiny holes was awesome.But there is still the kidnappibg part to be taken careof.

Ahahahaha, the Rumpelstiltskin theory has more holes than Swiss cheese. :P Glad you like it, though! :D If you go to finalproblem’s blog, she has a really amazing theory about the kidnapping. It’s my absolute favorite, and I can’t do a better job than she’s already done. ♥
