Its moments like that that make me really believe in the Sherlock fandom.
When I realise just how little the media, and the stars, understand about what we do. Creating so much beauty and fluff and happiness from something as mundane and simple as a TV show. Taking stories that were written a century ago and making them fresh and new. Allowing one another the space to learn new ways of expressing ourselves,to explore our individual sexualitiesand support one another while we do so. To know that we are not alone, but also that each of us is unique.
Thank you, duod, and the Sherlock fandom, for offering me a daisy today. And making me realise that it doesn’t matter if Benedict Cumberbatch thinks all we do is write about sex and cufflinks in space.
We nurture each other’s creativity.
We bring happiness to each other and the world.
And I’m proud of us for that.
