15 Times The 'Sherlock' Fandom Won Tumblr

These Tumblr posts perfectly capture the craziness that is the BBC Sherlock fandom.

15 Times The 'Sherlock' Fandom Won Tumblr
Pinterest

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.)

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
