You Were Told...

[@yours_eve2001]

I love the fact that you smile when you talk about TJLC. It shows how much you love it and from the worked you've done it is clear. Thank you for everything

[@moose-boy]

I had a hard time when season 4 came out, but I am endlessly grateful for creators like you who inspired me to discover a passion for storytelling and queer history. I just rewatched the Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (one of my absolute favorite adaptions) and I always think about how I never would have found media like that had I not been part of the community. I am so happy to see you doing well! Thank you for being yourself on the platform when I needed good role models and help understanding my own sexuality:)

[@strongsarah]

well, they're the ones that wrote all those scenes and then told us to pay attention. so if they don't finish it properly, it's their failure, not ours.

[@peckgardner]

Exactly. Now THEIR story is mostly know for queerbaiting by the audience. If they had the guts to get deeper into sherlock and john's relationship the story would be another one, a more successful one for sure

[@strongsarah]

@@peckgardner I can't speak for the rest of the audience, but I personally don't consider BBC Sherlock queerbaiting. I do consider it unfinished, and I also think the writers are doing more with the story than only the queer romance. But I won't derail Rebs' channel to go off on other tangents. You are more than welcome to your own thoughts, I am not here to convince you otherwise, only to make sure my own idea was clear, which I think it wasn't in my first comment.

[@ikalia.]

I'm crying, the last chapter was so beautiful, this is a perfect addition to it. Love you, Rebs

[@darlington9738]

I’m so happy you are uploading videos again. What you did for this fandom it’s just...massive. Dont let anyone convince you otherwise. Everything you upload is brilliant.

[@maxineeego]

"Someday the true story may be told..." Oh, but how amazing would it be if it were now! Brilliant edit, Rebekah! Thanks for this ❤️

[@elina-ks4yc]

I've been watching your videos since a couple of weeks ago and it's beautiful to see you have this love with you through all of these years. You make me believe that this kind of love can last forever, that BakerStreet can always be our home. Thanks for sharing your feelings with us and happy new year!

[@nayemorusa6244]

I DIDN’T KNOW YOU MADE MORE VIDEOS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND IT! I was thinking about bbc sherlock and reading rant tweets to cope with how much I hated it and I found a tumblr post mentioning your channel AHHHHHH i’m so ready to watch them all :)

[@tatianamelendez490]

I'm not crying, you're crying! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 This is beautiful and it boggles the mind to this day that there are viewers who still refuse to see the obvious Johnlock clues in the show. I was in Spotify looking for songs to add to a Playlist and "Oh What a Night" came up as suggested. Safe to say my poor shipper heart got triggered, and I avoided it like the plague shouting "NOOOO!" At least you revived it for John and Sherlock in your fic, but still.

[@alienillusi0n]

We used to be mutuals on Tumblr way back in 2014-2017. I missed your videos!

[@punchthegoose]

ah.... thank you rebs for this! i remember being a weird 15 year old so hellbent on tjlc that i literally could not wait any longer for s4 and then subsequently being extremely disappointed when it came out because it literally just did not make any sense at all. i still sometimes go back and watch all of your old tjlc videos as it's actually where i got part of my start in the film/tv industry.... i'm 21 now and if 15 year old me didn't have that obsession of looking into tropes and further meanings of tv shows i wouldn't have my degree in film and be working in television right now! youre the best

You are a nice gift for 2021 I 2022 😘 greetings from Tricity in Poland 👋 It was touching video!

[@TJLCExplained]

Happy New Year Tricity!!

[@graceinfinitely]

I loved it so much 😭😭 it literally was so healing I stg to me this was canon not the last season of the show. You did an amazing job ❤️ (Also I’m howling at the johnlock funko pops kissing in the background LOL)

[@TJLCExplained]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the story!!! 💛💛💛

[@lydiahunterdurham7588]

Is TJLC really over? I still have hopes in my heart for a series 5, and although s4 didn’t go where people thought it would I still feel that it was an important step for Sherlock and John’s relationship, ending with John opening up and being more vulnerable with him. I think logistically it’ll be hard to get Benedict and Martin together again, but I definitely don’t think this is the end. We may just have to wait.

[@clemandrieu6764]

I randomly got a notification for this video when i had not heard from you in 5 years, i'm so happy and relieved you're here, alive and smiling ! We were manipulatedxand lied to but... what a story it could have been ❤

[@TJLCExplained]

I'm always surprised by how the KZbin notification system works!! I'd recommend watching Auld Lang Syne if you'd like a bit more info on what I've been working on, but thank you that means a lot. what a story it might have been indeed...

[@butterflymilk6240]

This made me cry

[@greenstarrysky9881]

Hang on, I’m confused. Is “From a drop of water” a fanfic? If so where can I find it? Or is it a novel? Either way I would love to read it!

[@TJLCExplained]

It is a fanfic! I'd recommend watching the video released yesterday Auld Lang Syne for more info on what I've been working on, but here is the link to the fic for you: archiveofourown.org/works/34655509/chapters/86278909

[@Book7BrokeMyBrain]

Argh! Honestly, do you think at some point Moftiss were planning on a romantic and sexual relationship between them and then bailed? I imagine they wanted to get them through all the crazy adventures and to the "Rathbone Place" so they'd be settled, older men with a baby and could be all domestic now that they'd worked on many of their broken bits. But they ran out of runway? As in, they'd have to do a series 5 to really get to it, but Ben and Martin are so famous and busy that it's harder to get everyone in the same place (and Ben's hair grown out)? Author Splix used Mrs Hudson's death as a catalyst for the boys having grief/comfort sex in The Green Gown, I believe. Since Una has passed, I hope she can bring them together in the show, too. I still have hope for Series Five and all it may hold. How about you? Lovely video, by the way. Yes, I was told, and I listened hard and believed. And I still don't know how to feel. Happy New Year, my dear.

[@butterflymilk6240]

I am not her, but damn it, I agree. I agree so much. Do you like to talk about that more? I would love to

[@Book7BrokeMyBrain]

@@butterflymilk6240 Sure would! What are your thoughts?

[@butterflymilk6240]

@@Book7BrokeMyBrain Quite the same, actually. I still do have hope for season 5 to actually exist and bring us what we (and the characters) deserve and wish for! Johnlock is possible. It is still so possible after season 4. The season ends with them being more domestic than ever. They are back in 221b. They are obviously super happy with each other, they finally are safe and in peace and they have a BABY. If that's not the perfect place to start domestic Johnlock, idk what it is. I actually have no idea how to continue from that point in a platonic and heterosexual way. Season 5 is not officially cancelled, just delayed. The cast has always stated they would love to return once the time is right. If we get season 5, Mrs Hudson's death will be a central plot point. It will show us an emotional Sherlock. In a domestic environment, finally having to open up about being a human being with feelings in front of John. He WILL have a hard time coping with her death. He WILL not understand how much she loved him until someone explains it. John WILL take care of him, because that's what a John Watson does. He promised to do so in front of Mycroft. That's a super big potential for kinda everything

[@Book7BrokeMyBrain]

@@butterflymilk6240 Oh yes. Series 5 would definitely have to explore the theme of family. I think we might finally meet Harry. If John stayed closeted because of witnessing his dad's/family's treatment of her when she came out, then now is the time for John to pick at those scabs. I'd LOVE to see Leslie Sharpe play Harry as she looks so much like Martin, and she's already played a divorced, gay alcoholic on Doctor Who. So Moffat is aware her. She'd be perfect. And remember that John and Mycroft are the only siblings of addicts, so there's stuff to unpack there, too. Speaking of family, Sherlock having to deal with Hudders' death, and exploring how much of a supportive parent she was to him would be poignant. And then there's Rosie, and how much Sherlock loves on her as a substitute for loving John. The possibilities are endless.

[@butterflymilk6240]

@@Book7BrokeMyBrain I actually did not know Leslie Sharp until I read your comment. Looked her up and she is exactly the type of person I imagine Harry is! How do you think her character would be? I love how we both have the same ideas for season 5. It definitely needs to focus on John's past. We got a part of Sherlock's, so now I wanna know about John. He definitely went through some shit, many things we saw on the show hint that. I would just love to see that family aspect. How Sherlock treats Rosie would show much about how he thinks about John. Dealing with Hudders' death would definitely get them closer together, I feel like Sherlock would need a lot of support do deal with that, even though he would have a hard time to actually communicate that. Regarding the addiction, I am also super interested in seeing more of his story. How he started, him in rehab (because that would tell us so much about him)
