I had the great fortune to have @consultingsmartarse visit me this weekend, and in the exciting lead up to this trip, I relistened to Mise en Place for the umpteenth time. Of course, I just had to cook some of @azriona’s delicious recipes from the fic for the occasion: Japanese Pan-Fried Noodles, Sherlock’s Chicken and Tomatoes, and John’s Afghan Pilau. As you may see in the photo, I made a few additions & modifications as I went, but I think I captured the spirit of each dish! Serving the Chicken & Pilau together, we joked that it was johnlock on a plate ☺️👬❤️
I will be reblogging a lot of posts about the attempts to defund/tarnish/etc. AO3/the OTW that have fucking amazing important content FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. (tag http://redshoesnblueskies.tumblr.com/search/censorship if you want to find a pile of them)
…frankly if y’all aren’t doing the same, I’m boggled as to WHY NOT – but hey, maybe not everyone gives a shit that fandom would lose our homebase and be instantly opened up to actually quite really large quantities of legal action against us from all sides if AO3 goes down.
Reblog this shit people – we can’t do very much other than vote when it comes to current politics BUT WE CAN SURE AS FUCK DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
STEP UP. Name the truth about why the attacks on AO3/OTW’s ‘finances’ are happening – it’s fundamentally the same attack made against every fandom space ever: “I find your story-content preference to be amoral and I will take the whole archive down to Defend Purity.”
Name the real reason. Keep naming it.
If we don’t defend AO3 with every means we have, we don’t deserve to have it.

fandom history links – read them. this is why we need AO3. this is why we made AO3.
what fanfic, fanworks and fandom were like before AO3, before we had that home, before we had the safety of owning our own spaces (’We have to own the servers’!), and before we had the freakin’ legal help that AO3 gives (can you defend yourself against a ‘fanfic isn’t fair-use’ lawsuit from a motion picture company? cause I know I sure can’t….).
i finished bingeing Miss Sherlock over the weekend and it has an absolutely amazing cast with stellar acting, does some very interesting things with the Holmes stories, and I have many many thoughts about it, but everything else pales in comparison to their Mycroft
because this dude
is this dude
i no longer care what other mycrofts exists in the holmes multiverse I ONLY CARE ABOUT THE LONG LONG MAN MYCROFT
