TJLC Explained: [Episode 27] The Birth of TJLC

[@philo222sophie]

this is so sad when you watch it three years after season 4 has aired

[@Junoisverysleepy]

It’s kinda amazing going back and watching all these videos. Like it feels like a snapchat in history in which gay representation and queer baiting in media were completely foreign concepts. Like, we had such belief in the story telling abilities of white men to not take advantage of its audience and screw em’ over. It’s sad, and bitter sweet. Like because of TJLC I think a lot of Queer people/youth who were invested in Johnlock are more skeptical about the representation we’re given nowadays. I got so into the history of the haze code and lavender scare because of TJLC. I love that I now have this ability to analyze the media I consume, but still after all these years that 4th season still feels like such a slap in the face. I still haven’t rewatched it or a single Sherlock episode since. Only meta commentaries like this, cause I find them so much more enjoyable than the actual show.

[@desireen.7475]

Rebekah I don't even know if you keep receiving notifications from this youtube channel. But I wanted to let you know that I still believe in TJLC. A year after season 4 aired I am here rewatching your videos. And I feel that despite season 4 wasn't what we expected at all, I believe in TJLC more strangly than ever. All this must be true, not because I want it to be true, but because it's clear evidence. Loads and loads of clear evidence, that can't be a joke or queerbaiting Thank you for this wonderful series of videos and thanks for not deleting the channel despite the deep disappointment caused you. If you ever decide to come back to discuss TJLC I will be there :)

[@majaskorska2600]

This kinda breaks my heart but also melts it at the same that. Thank you for that :') I still believe that was the story to be told and maybe will be in future

[@majaskorska2600]

Remember... Mary is gone 🤷🏼

To watch this series, I have to go through a few law violation, and modifying this and that,constantly changing VPN and whatnot, it really really is nice to see a channel, than I can access legally, that focused solely on my favourite couple-to-be. I legit shed a tear when I found this channel. It really is difficult to find someone from my country that has the same passion to Sherlock, and watching someone talking about it, giving their time and effort to make analysis, and also a video. It really moved me, like I'm really part of it, the fandom. So, thank you, Rebekah~ Greetings from the other side of the Earth~

For me I believed in Johnlock since episode one because of Johns flirting in the restaurant^^ Now I watched the whole show and found a while ago your channel and now I have arguments for everyone who wouldn't believe me 😄❤️

I only started watching Sherlock this year. Help me. I need help. I am obsessed. Please help.

Oh my glob! That is exactly how I feel right now! I only started watching it about 2 months ago, almost 3 and I've watched it 5 times.

[@GLAASJEMELC]

Dear Rebekah and TJLCers, I want to thank you all for introducing me to the beautiful love story that is BBC Sherlock. I won't be addressing the fourth season, because this should be a place for kindness. But you have tought me so much about good writing and the importance of LGBT representation, through your passion and caring for the show and its characters. I will never stop believing and am very grateful for being part of the TJLC community, even if it was only for the past two months.

[@justgoodies]

I relate so SO much to your experience, Rebekah! I remember that blessed day I was hugging my pillow and just staring at Sherlock pausing for what it seemed like a lifetime when telling John "there's something....... I should say" and I just lost it because I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA SAY "I LOVE YOU". I WAS SURE OF IT. And then TAB did the same again! After Moriarty goes "Ugh, just elope!" (wich was SO extra for the scene) and John went "Actually, would you mind?", and Sherlock "Not at all. " JOHN ACTUALLY WALKS TOWARDS SHERLOCK AND I THOUGHT OMG THIS TIME THEY'RE GONNA DO IT! But they left me again with the same angsty feeling. I'm telling you: it will NOT happen again. THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM and I am 100% sure of this. The next time I FEEL they're gonna physically express that unspoken love for each other, I AM GOING TO SEE IT. We will be rewarded for our years-long patience. I'm so emotional now! xD Thank you so much, Rebekah, for all your hard work, and your elocuency in voicing our feelings as a fandom for all of us.

[@Thomas_Winters]

all girls like soldiers. John is a soldier. Sherlock is a girls name. Sherlock likes soldiers. therefore... Sherlock likes John. there's his confession.

[@madefullmetalprobably]

im crying cause of the way you spoke about your journey into tjlc, like actual tears. i dont know why but it just hit me in the face like the first time i found tjlc

[@lapillity]

It was really cool to hear this story from all of you, I love hearing people from any fandom reminisce about iconic moments, but this is super special. I kind of wish I was able to experience some of it first-hand, but I still have more moments to look forward to in the future!

[@willowbethke3863]

I watched Sherlock for the first time this past January, right after TAB came out. A friend of mine had been telling me to watch it for ages, but she never talked about it becuse she didn't want to spoil it, and she really talked about Johnlock. Immediately into the first episode I loved the show, I loved the dynamic of the characters, and I shipped Jonlock. I hadn't been on tumblr, didn't know if it was a popular ship but it was undeniable to me. ( I of course watched it all again twice more in the span of two months to over analyze everything) The fact that TJLC didn't really exist before season 3 is baffling cause it the first and favorite part of the fandom i get. I couldn't imagine Sherlock without TJLC. Also love your videos, I'm really behind but they're amazing.

[@gipsiusy]

i remember shipping Johnlock since 2010 but never really believe they were gonna make it canon, more like unspoken or stuff like that. After HLV everything changed even thanks to the metas on tumblr and everything and I'm so glad to be a part of this now

[@awesomelife3710]

I LOVE you guys! I've not been out for a super long time, and I don't know almost any lesbians, but I already feel deeply indebted and grateful beyond words for what you've done for all of us Sherlock fans: giving us the HOPE that Johnlock is REAL! How you figured it out is GENIUS! I'll always remember where I was, the moment I realized this wasn't just some impossible wish but an actual, very real possibility/probability/(certainty?) I had goosebumps and wanted to joy-cry. I felt giddy and a sense of unreality. Could it really FINALLY be happening!?! OMG... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Happy we're all truly part of a community made up of each one of the different but connected groups: L, G, B AND T!!!

[@philo222sophie]

[@grff_]

I was so confused when a different Fox came up!

[@dinosonzii]

Hey Rebekah! I was a lot like you when I joined the fandom. I got very interested in the show right after season 2, just due to the massive amount of content on my tumblr dash, which was mostly Johnlock content and Reichenbach theories. When I had finally had enough of the gifs of eye contact between Sherlock and John, I watched the show and got hooked. So throughout the hiatus I reblogged Johnlock things (I never really made posts of my own, still don't) and tried to be content with the fact that this would just be another great ship which would never be canon because I thought 'Gay ships just aren't canon. It doesn't happen. And never with such famous high-profile characters.' Then I watched The Empty Hearse and saw them essentially dismiss all the major ships of the fandom except Johnlock and I thought 'Are they really doing this?' Then TSOT came out and I realized they were actually doing this. And the fandom exploded on tumblr. And once I had seen the tarmac scene I was convinced. Nothing could change my reading I was sure of it, I just needed more proof, which led me to seek out metas and I found the TJLC, and then I found you. I've been watching your videos from the beginning and I really love them. Although I'm a relatively silent, I still consider myself a member of TJLC community and hope to celebrate alongside you all when Johnlock is finally canon. Thank you for the video, Rebekah.

[@JessicaTea]

i was just about to sleep then i noticed you had uploaded. welp no sleep 4 me then.

[@pascalrobot]

This video, your stories, make me so happy. I'm from Italy, so when I first watched Sherlock (s3 was already aired) I had no idea there was such a strong community [actually even if I did I wouldn't have been able to understand English well enough to be a part of it] and I had no spoilers, at all. At first I was a casual viewer, but I remember watching the Tarmac scene and being so convinced Sherlock was gonna say he was in love with John. In those moments, I had no doubts, and I didn't even realized it, I didn't need to read metas first to acknowledge their love, because it was right there for us to see it. TJLC is amazing, and you are amazing people. Thank you for everything you do [sorry if I made grammar mistakes]

[@miloshaymin]

"fire exposes our priorities " three episodes later sherlock screams while taking John out of the bonfire

[@gizee99]

I had no idea there was such a huge fandom for this. I started watching Sherlock in 2012 (apparently like woah it's been so long) months after reichenbach fall came out and I thought about John and Sherlock together. I thought it was cute but I rarely went on tumblr and at the time I was very much in a heteronormative mind set. When the third series started coming out and more and more subtext was being piled on I started believing, like wow, this could be a thing. I remember being at the edge of my seat when it seemed Sherlock might just confess. And as soon as he didn't I thought that I was the one being stupid and dismissed all my thoughts about Johnlock and even made fun of the ship. I was like, thirteen, I was stupid. But now with these videos I'm starting to believe I wasn't wrong. I wasn't being delusional. And it makes me so happy? Idk. I'm just grateful for this KZbin channel and thank you.

[@moon_raker1062]

I was grinning ear to ear watching this. :)

[@meaganleereads]

*Takes a deep breath* I think I'm finally convinced. I've been hoping and wishing and wanting but now I can say that I really do believe it will happen. The show is a love story between John and Sherlock and it's going to being beautiful & groundbreaking :)

[@carahotaling4809]

ahhh this brought up so many great memories!! I was also in that sweet spot of marathoning s1&2 and then watching s3 live, following tjlc from nattie's very first meta all the way to today. for me, tsot was everything you guys outlined (plus the frustration of my family all calling it "lighthearted" and "funny" as I was cycling through pain and intense euphoria). I was part of the tentatively-hoping-for-canon-johnlock-in-hlv crew but I just couldn't figure out what would happen to destroy the marriage. I wondered if mary would die, but couldn't imagine john so quickly getting over her. HLV was a surreal experience of confirmation after beautiful confirmation. my heart stopped when mary shot him. the writers perfectly solved the marriage problem I had struggled with for days. the major obstacle to canon johnlock on our screens in the following half-hour was mostly gone. the tiny bit of faith the apology scene cost me was immediately returned and infinitely multiplied when sherlock shot magnussen for john. I gave up hope for canon johnlock happening before the episode ended because the exile was an obstacle I thought would take too long to deal with before the next series. however, the tarmac scene gave me all the hope and confirmation I needed to be certain that we were right, and then the writers did it again! they completely tore down the exile obstacle as over-the-top boldly as they had done with mary, and then ended the episode. the way they always so quickly and ruthlessly break down anything standing in the way of canon johnlock (the fall, the marriage, the exile) cemented my belief right then, and in that rush of joy after all that, my parents got to hear me say "holy shit.. what the fuck" in front of them for the first time :')

[@carahotaling4809]

tldr: got into tjlc right after tsot when it first started, watching hlv live with that mindset completely blew my mind as it was confirmed that sherlock was in love with john (drugs thing, coming back to life for him, shooting magnussen, & the tarmac scene especially) and that as we were acknowledging that mary would need to go/john would need to be over her completely and quickly (somehow) for johnlock to happen, mary shot sherlock and opened that path up.

[@bvvc6341]

You are honestly so cute and good at what you do! I hope you keep making videos like this for a long time! I honestly can't believe how amazing this fandom is tbh

[@artangelic]

YES!! i was around for the beginning of tjlc and adjfhlakjd this is a journey

[@RandomNexus]

I really enjoyed hearing how you all came to TLJC and your feelings about the series as you progressed to that point. Also - unrelated - I really like the way your hair is in this one, Rebekah. :D

[@LaKarenMercury]

I was looking forward to this video! I started watching Sherlock when S3 was already over and it's so great hearing the experiences from the people who watched TSOT live and realized that Johnlock was going to happen. Sometimes I wish I was there to experience the same feelings of anxiety/surprise/joy but sometimes I'm also glad I wasn't, because I don't know how I would have managed to survive the week following TEH without having an emotional breakdown, knowing that John was going to get married to someone else.

[@starralley8274]

Can I just say that I love what you are doing with these videos. I'm newer to BBC Sherlock, though I have watched a lot of other takes on Conan Doyle's works, I started watching a little after series 3 came out. I started watching it because a friend suggested it to me because she knew i loved crime shows and I was instantly obsessed. When I first began watching I had caught hints of something more between John and Sherlock but when I brought it up to my friend and others they immediately shut it down. I was a little dejected but still watched. I still loved the story. I found myself relating more and more to John which now is kind of funny because since I started whole heatedly believing that this is a love story and that it IS truly ok to love who ever you love no matter what, I have come out as bisexual. Now that I look back i can see how John and I have reacted in similar situations involving people questioning our sexuality. Anyway, getting off topic, I love what you are doing here and want to thank you for casting away the doubts that do still appear about Johnlock becoming cannon. Jesus this was long, didn't mean for that to happen. Sorry and Thank you again. ^-^

[@KeaganAsh]

Thank you for this video! I'm having a lot of nostalgic feelings right now! x) I had the chance to be introduced to johnlock way before I actually watched the show (I started to watch it two months before s3 aired - so thankfully I didn't live the hiatus, thank god x) but I knew Sherlock and johnlock already since years), so my experience is almost like yours, I was screaming "SAME" in my mind while watching you. :o) I had pretty much the same expectation for TSOT and Mary's role so I spent the whole time through TSOT and HLV with my mouth wide open, with a little smirk, thinking "oh my god this is real?!" I was already convinced johnlock was there, but I didn't think it was actually happening, I was disillusioned by queerbaiting, I've seen it in Supernatural and destiel, so I really didn't think it was mofftiss intention to make it happen. And at the time, to me sherlolly was as probable, I did ship them at some point, I'm a bit ashamed to admit it. :o) Though I had the sensation that something was there, because I've been taught to analyse what I see, all the time, so I was conflicted between what I saw, what it was telling me, and the fact we are in an heteronormative society where queerbaiting is more usual than representation / the creators intentions. The conclusion I made out of the show didn't matched this logic. And I was just in resignation, being a casual shipper, until TSOT, which changed my perspective completely. And at the same time, I was already on Tumblr since a long while, I created my main blog circa 2010, and even if I wasn't a fandom blog, fandoms and especially johnlock was kinda inevitable so eventually I created a multifandom blog (which became a tjlc blog very quickly - that's my current blog), and came across LSiT metas (I had the good fortune to find the right blogs to follow very quickly so LSiT was one of the first person I followed when I started to be interested in johnlock), I've read them all in a row, once I started I just couldn't stop, it blew my mind. I had been introduced to TJLC quite naturally, I was quietly there at the moment it was created, and it made so much sense, this was amazing, and as Grace said it has been such an incredible journey.... And also I've witnessed the shit that came around because other people couldn't stand the very existence of this theory, because for many people shipping shouldn't become a theory, and you know as well as I do what happened, so, it's making me very emotional to watch this video, especially now that some people are talking shit about the origin of TJLC and how it has a "dark history", that's really not what I remember happened, so I really want to say thank you for reminding all of us what exactly is TJLC history.

[@sporesims9303]

i read my first Sherlock book when i was 11... or 12. And i loved it. He was so brilliant. (Funny about it: just one or two years later "Sherlock" was released) But i was so sad that John married a woman and just saw Sherlock twice a year in the year before his "death" and yeah, i was a little bit glad that Mary died because... i always saw them as an unit and don't accepted someone between them :) (Fun fact: When i was 12 years old, this was also the time i had my first ship (Captain Nemo and Professor Pierre Aronnax.) I was so convinced that they were in love) but i didn't ship Johnlock. I just saw it as a bromance, a bromance who doesn't accept anyone between them xD And then i start hearing some Sherlock CDs and : "Softly he touched my knees" "Kindly he whisperd in my ear." and i yeah, struggled: Really just a bromance? And then i watch the RDJ movies when i was 14 and yeah, i shiped them. Then the 3rd season of "Sherlock" was released and they spoke about it in the radio and i wasn't so interest in watching it. But then i visit a close friend and she also had the Sherlock DVD and said: "Watch it! Watch it! It is brilliant." Then i checked some reviews and they were all so positiv so i start watching it and OMG: "So do you have a boyfriend then?" But i also didn't really believe in Johnlock. But then i watched the 3rd season and... i started to believe. I check hundrets of fanarts on deviantart. And then i discoverd tumblr. And some months later i discoverd all the beautiful metas (i am not part of tumblr, i just read everything xD ) and with all the metas i found the TJLC tag. And now i am here :D Trying to find how i can watch Sherlock here Geramny the same date when the 4rd season will released in U.K.

Wenn Johnlock passiert will ich das doch nicht 1 1/2 später feststellen :/ Und ja, ich werd solange alle Kanäle die mit Johnlock zu tun haben deabonieren un tumblr nicht mehr besuchen.

[@SionEoinPaytonJesse]

oh wow, I didn't get disillusioned with Johnlock until right before The Abominable Bride (but maybe that was my belief in Mark Gatiss, as a bi man married to another bi man, wanting to believe so hard--since I didn't know about all the meta-analysis). I was into the fandom since like... right after series 1. And I was seasoned at searching for fanfiction I liked so I was very satisfied on that front. The first time I was mad and didn't even want to give my full attention to BBC Sherlock bc of how mad I was about what I used to think was all queer-baiting, was when the Abominable Bride came out. Again, glad I came to this channel. But that's when everything collapsed for me. AFTER The Sign of Three! EDIT: and when I say I didn't want to give it my attention, I mean I listened to everything but didn't watch everything--I still haven't, I need to go back and watch it. I got up to make more vodka tonics. I went to use the bathroom (bc of the vodka tonics). I drank a lot, basically. Because I was mad. Because I had taken Gatiss off text alert on twitter and was mad at him and at Cumberbatch and I thought there was too much other good television to concern myself with rather than giving my attention to more cis men who were going to disappoint me with endless queer-baiting and no satisfying resolution. I don't think that anymore, though.

[@SionEoinPaytonJesse]

but I don't want anyone to ever feel weird about their slash pairings, bc I grew up reading BL manga when it was still called "yaoi" and we KNOW there is a HUGE audience for this content. A huge audience of people who are not even gay men (in fact, bara manga is still rare, even though BL manga, written for women by women, has exploded into a huge, profitable industry). I would say Sherlock, if it gets canon gay, will be more like bara than BL, because it won't have that factor where "one character is meant to be 'the woman'" which is a pretty common trope in BL manga. So maybe we can all learn from Japan! I think there are ties to slash fanfiction there. I always tell my partner, when you see the numbers coming in, in terms of stories, numbers of stories about a gay pairing, you know there is subtext--whether it's intentional or not. The best example of this that I know of is actually John Sheppard and Rodney McKay in Stargate Atlantis, and no, they never got there in the canon. A lot of the stories about this pairing were about the taboo of defying DADT, which was repealed toward the end of the show, or right after or something. But really, what it was about to me, as a man who mostly only fucks other men, it was about this kind of friendship (and I have plenty of platonic male friendships) that goes far beyond friendship, at some points, other characters reflect the audience by being shocked by how deep it goes. I write all that because it's necessary to understanding my (past) pessimism about Johnlock really happening. I've been let down before. There's a reason why there's so little fanfiction about Ianto and Jack Harkness. A romantic tension that is resolved in the canon will not fuel anyone to write. There's a reason why Sansan is so popular in the asoiaf fandom. Tension. And if Moffat and Gatiss are going to keep giving me tension, I'm happy. :)

Psych is a Sherlock Holmes adaptation! In fact I'm pretty sure all of the shows you mentioned before were Holmes adaptations!

[@Dee010s]

I'll tell you about me....I was a K/S girl first. I found Jeremy Bretts Sherlock Holmes version before I read the original stories. Afterwards- HUmmm I said to myself. Something was up with these two. I saw BBC Sherlock A Study in Pink and the chemistry/dialog bwt. S&J hit me like a bolt of lighting. WOW. It wasn't until Sherlock later said- I like my doctors clean shaven that I started to wonder if it was all a master plan. Was this really happening????? Thank you all for this video, I just realized how TOTALLY emotionally invested I am in this love affair. It hit me like a bolt of lightening.

[@xYuusu]

Hi Rebekah! I've been watching your videos since episode 5, I guess, and never really commented much (I also do have a tumblr which I just use to quietly lurk in the fandom and has a one-digit follower count haha! Basically I'm a nobody in fandom but I don't mind!). But this one, I can't seem to pass. Especially during your part, Rebekah. I related to you so fcking much when you talked about getting your expectations down before TSOT aired, y'know, just accepting the fact that we're all going to be just weird gay shippers who see everything in a gay light and make the show 'creepy'. That fcking stigma was just... so me. I can't count how many fandoms I've been in where all the gay shippers are simply "delusional" and "stupid" for looking at or watching the show the way we do. So watching you talk about how your expectations was completely turned around and how you gained hope and everything just... I was almost shocked when I found out I was tearing up while watching your video. This video made me emotional. You made me emotional. So there. Basically I want to tell you thank you so much for making TJLCE, the casual format was great so don't fret about that, and I'm always looking forward to your videos. Seriously you're like my favorite youtuber. Stay awesome, Rebekah 💛

[@bradiemaree2822]

I know I'm super late on this because I'm slowly watching the episodes but whatever: I heard about the show but finally started watching it when the guy I liked recommended it. He said "I don't even know why people say Johnlock is real. It's out of nowhere" so going into it I was like nah people are just reading into it b ut then from thE FIRST FREAKING EPISODE WITH THE EYE CONTACT AND THE INNUENDO I was like yep they're gay. It didn't become important to me until I started to realise things about my own sexuality and I wanted it to be a real lgtbq+ representation. And then I found this channel by accident and it's like a beacon of hope that completely convinced me and even one of my mates of the canon. We now have debates with the boys at school explaining how gay Sherlock and John are for eachother

[@marshallharck]

Small question - I keep on hearing people talk about how the confirmation of TJLC is going to happen in a few months (next season?), but why are people so sure? Did something happen with Setlock?

[@Royal_Chief_Architect]

+Rebekah TJLC Explained Will you do a video for their official trailer of the next installment of Sherlock? When I watched it yesterday all I wanted was to hear you do commentary on it. Pleeeeeeeeeeease. I'm dying waiting for you to break it down.

My dad introduced Sherlock show to me

[@KetieSaner]

Esther's book is in the background. :D

[@keelywilliams9855]

(this isn't about this ep) Do you know anything about Sherrinford /(the third brother) ? (I saw something that said he was going to be in season four ((I'm 99% sure it was season four) If so, do you think/ know if he is working with or has anyhting to do with Moriarty? Do you think he would have anything to do with Johnlock itself? And concluding, will you maybe do a video sometime about Sherrinford Holmes? Thank you and I hope I'm not asking to many questions!

[@Sly-Moose]

DO AN EPISODE ON theimprobableone!

[@Sly-Moose]

Rebekah TJLC Explained He couldn't possibly be Moriarty though. Mike, John's therapist, Sherlock, and John knows who this dude is. But I will look forward to the episode nonetheless.

[@Sly-Moose]

Rebekah TJLC Explained Okay, but in John's actual blog, he states that theimprobableone one had helped them with a case.

[@shaolingrrl]

I love you all so much.

[@fionaheig8730]

maybe you've said it before I haven't seen all of your videos but in season 3 episode 4 when Sherlock is in his dream Moriarty said that him and Watson should elope...it was in Sherlock's brain...you've probably already said this at some point but I feel the need to say it....

[@fionaheig8730]

It was beautiful. I squealed like a pig when I worked it out.

[@samkg5719]

[@Thomas_Winters]

NOT AGAIN

[@zararobnett8284]

thank you so much for creating a place where we can all feel comfortable discussing the obvious love of johnlock without naysayers who cannot remove their heterogoggles. :D

[@CrisSelene]

Jesus, I've been watching Sherlock since 2011 and notincing (some of) the gay, but I've been going "no, it's just... no it can't be"

[@alecto6561]

[@alexandram.1303]

YES I LOVE THIS

[@julianskull]

I love your videos :)

[@kismarik]

so here in my country the show got dubbed and broadcasted in national television. sadly, they purposely de-gaying the show e.g. when janine visits sherlock in the hospital, the translators kinda forgot to translate that "small" piece of information that sherlock and janine never actually had sex. yepp, if you watch the dubbed version you're gonna think that all things janine told in the interviews are true. they had wild kinky sex. sure. also, sherlock and john only communicate in formal language with eachother. what is kinda ridiculous for friends in the 21th century . so basically, they're only colleagues here. honestly, i'm not suprised at all. this is the national television channel, it's runned by the government. a goverment of a country where a commercial channel got fined because they dared to show an innocent gay kiss (how dare they broadcast glee in the afternoon! save the children!) so yeah. my point is, if my government sees the gay, then this show is really-really gay. (ps. sorry if i made some grammar mistakes, english is not my first language, no suprise i guess)

[@tylerburney8576]

Woo, new video! :D:D
