First I thought I would just keep an eye on this project but now I have the exact same feeling that I had four years ago - and I'm loving it. Christmas is coming, JohnLock is coming... it makes me soooo happy ! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@ikalia.]

I relate to this too! I was so surprised to feel the thrill again, but this time it's not stressful because we know that Johnlock will be canon in the end

[@Neaniver279]

​@@ikalia. Sadly I had no doubt the first time either... but I love the fact she came back just to add "no queerbaiting this time" haha ! (Hot chocolate's ready, let's read

[@celrohe]

I relate to this sooo much too 💜

[@danielvaldes6087]

ok i finally got out of class and am reading s4 and my point at which i would’ve been certain is at “only a fool argues with his doctor after all.” that would’ve been my oh my god this is really really happening. it is such a massive, reassuring wink at the audience in tjlc. gosh i am loving this so much

[@TJLCExplained]

That's pretty early!! I gotta tell you, it gets a lot more blatant than that haha

[@danielvaldes6087]

@@TJLCExplained I just personally had never even thought of the possibility of a reference to the pilot in s4! it erases doubts of the possibility that they changed their mind between the making of the pilot and s1, so i think that’s why it stands out to me! Also it works so well! it’s the perfect mixture of being “subtle” to viewers who don’t notice all the gay subtext, and very meaningful if you Know. it’s exactly the type of thing i feel like we would’ve seen if they had written the type of s4 we thought they planned. and the placing of the line is perfect because i think there would’ve been something reassuring like that very early on in the first episode. It is so so clever of you!!

[@TJLCExplained]

Thank you very much ^^

[@emilyholloway5445]

I've been listening to the six thatchers playlist on the way to and from school, I've binged all the tjlc theory episodes, I'm so ready for this

[@elsaj535]

love how you dropped this on the 5th of november

[@elsaj535]

I'M SO EXCITED TO READ THIS ANFJDSNFSDKJFSDNJK I can't even express into words how much i was looking forward to it! Your coming back is the reason i fell back into the sherlock fandom, and i am loving having all those wonderful feelings back ♥

[@nuttemitstil]

christmas came early this year

[@addangel]

[@melodytannerclark]

Remember remember.

the 5th of November.

I know I'm soo late to this. I didn't watch BBC Sherlock back when it aired, I wasn't in the fanbase back when TJLC was in its high, and I have definitely never read or watched anything sherlock related. The only context I had were tumblr screenshots and Sarah Z's video. After I saw your first episode of A Better Story, I started watching the show to understand your retrospective. I enjoyed both, though I admit I enjoyed the retrospective more. Media analysis is just more fun to me. I finished reading "From a Drop of Water" yesterday and I was floored and amazed by the story despite having just binged the show weeks earlier. I didn't expect to be so engaged. To put it in a sense, it was a story I didn't think I needed but I'm extremely glad to have read. I laughed at the references, Private Life and otherwise, that I could catch. I want to reread it again, this time with the playlists on, trying to decipher the meaning of each song as it relates to the story. I want to read all the sherlock stories and watch as many adaptations as I can. You've gotten me into a fandom I didn't think I'd ever get the hang on. I may be rambling a bit and maybe this is going nowhere, but I just want to say that you are an inspiration. And thank you for all the work you've done. -From a formerly non-sherlockian

[@amidepsi13]

This is the best thing to happen all year. I can't even begin to explain how much i needed something like this. I had forgotten all about how much this fandom used to mean to me. The only reason I stumbled upon this again is because someone replied to a comment I had left 5 (five) years ago. But now it feels just like back then. Anyway, thank you.

[@smiletea8940]

THE SONGS FOR THIS EPISODE ASJHDSHFGSJ THEY ARE ALREADY IN MY SHERLOCK PLAYLIST OMG YOU ARE MY DREAMMMM

[@TJLCExplained]

I'm living for your enthusiasm, I hope you enjoy the story!

[@KajsaBernhardina]

This is the best day of the entire YEAR can't believe it's really happening!!!!!!!

[@ikalia.]

Achh I love this so much, can't wait to start reading. Thank you for giving us your work, it feels so cleansing to reclaim this story.

[@Ivorysign]

WEEKLY..................................................could we be more blessed...Thank you!!!

[@Orochigirl17]

I'm so happy your making content again and I can't tell you how excited I am to read this story!!

[@smiletea8940]

oh. my. god. I was not ready.

[@euanacarmo]

Not Rebekah slowly making me fall in love - again - with Johnlock 🥲 I started the fic today and I'm absolutely loving it

[@TJLCExplained]

So glad to hear you’re enjoying the story!!

[@DominicaL1134]

This is unbelievably exciting!

[@vaaarna]

You beautiful human !!!!!!!! Thank you so much !!! So excited to read it !!!!

[@chelle9431]

CHILLLLS...Rebs, the music from the beginning is giving me chills.

[@MoogieSRO]

Oh god, I haven't watched S4 since it aired. I don't think I can stand to see it again, even in this context... :/ I don't believe any amount of reimagining can fix such a trainwreck.

[@TJLCExplained]

Don’t worry! No footage from series 4 involved here, it’s just an introduction for my fic

[@MoogieSRO]

@@TJLCExplained Oh that's a relief, lol.

[@Daniela-bt9gn]

[@shivanitelang7760]

We love you Rebecca!! I still believe in TJLC John and Sherlock were meant to be together in my opinion.

[@monikawegner1885]

Dear Rebekah, (I hope this is the correct spelling, because it spells like this in your subtitles), I just found you and your channel a few days ago. With not knowing anything about TJLC but being very disappointed from season 4, I really enjoyed your point of view about seasons 1-3 and now am really looking forward reading your version of season 4. Sorry for mistakes, I‘m better with reading than writing English. With a big „Thank You“ for your lovely and inspiring work from Pirna near Dresden in Germany, Monika

[@lischenmuller8249]

Uiuiuiiii I'm so excited!! 😍

[@JaslenePizzaKween]

So excited!

[@lovelenivy]

WOOO IM EXCITED

THE HYPE IS REEEEEEALLLLL 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@itexplodes3824]

Oh shoot oh shoot I was hoping this was a year old so I could like. Read it all. But now idk. MAN I want this tho I'm definitely following it even though I'm out of my Sherlock phase for over a year.

[@earnestlanguage4242]

this is EXACTLY what I needed right now!!!! assdffghjjhgfdsaa

[@KwartaalCijfer50]

How do you come to terms with the fact that Arthur Conan Doyle never meant for either of them to be gay? The writer has passed and can’t defend his work anymore. Sometimes it seems like you intent the original work to be gay too not just the BBC series version.

[@e.k.o5412]

Why this title?
