If there's one thing to know about the Sherlock fandom, it is that we are crazy. And obsessive. And remarkably patient. We wait years for new seasons (which only contain three episodes each) and are relentlessly taunted by Sherlock creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. But, despite our craziness, the people of Tumblr accept us for who we are. In fact, they do more than that—they encourage us. So today, I count down fifteen times the Sherlock fandom totally won Tumblr. Enjoy!
1. There's a reason he wanted to be a pirate.
What better way to begin our list than with a POTC/Sherlock crossover post? Given the dark nature of the final episode of series four, this is a teeny bit heartbreaking, but still awesome.2. Six new episodes...
Don't worry. We're all crying, too.
3. The Sherlock Fandom. A.K.A. the Eternally Waiting Fandom.
This one is so true it hurts.
4. Laughing at our pain.
Well... they weren't wrong.
5. Free samples.
Ditto, Euros... I mean Faith. I mean John's therapist. I mean the woman on the bus. Wait.
6. No, no. It's Minecraft.
The best part of this post is the end: the powerhouse of Great Britain.
7. Murder!
This is probably pretty accurate.
8. WE NEED SERIES FIVE.
The people of Tumblr have spoken!
9. Red carpet or drug addict.
Accurate.
10. What life?
This was all of us with series four.
11. Prolonged exposure.
Yep, this pretty much sums the fandom up. Thanks, Tumblr. Spot on.
12. MY FANDOM NEEDS ME.
This one is just straight-up hilarious. (And entirely true. We do need you, Sherlock.)
13. #Not My Division
Fandom! Tone it down. We can't let everyone else know we're this crazy.
14. It's just gravity.
Brilliant. This person couldn't even see the picture and yet they knew it was Sherlock. Fandom, you continue to serve us well.
15. Anderson, don't talk out loud, you lower the IQ of the whole street.
And lastly, for your viewing pleasure, I present you with this sadly accurate post about Anderson. Sorry, buddy. (Not really.)
