Metaphorical noises. <br /><br />(If you weren't aware of this, the cause was <a href="http://bakerstreetbabes.tumblr.com/post/45109751366/sophies-starlight-from-bbc-ones-twitter">this twitter post</a>.

Though I am, in fandom terms, something approaching middle-aged (if not an old lady).

Molly is great. You should vote for her. I'm sure whoever she's up against is nice, but Molly Hooper wears underwear with little skulls in bows and pink kitten sweaters and cuts up dead people for a living. She's like Dana Scully with <em>no seriousness at all.</em> She's loyal and smart and strong and she deserves all of our votes, because she's the best. The end.<br /><br />* I type the first half of the word "terriwonderful." Leigh is leaning over my shoulder. "Terrible," she says. "No," I say, "look." She reads what I wrote. "Terrible," she says.

In any case, while watching it, I was struck by a crackfic bunny, which I <a href="http://amalnahurriyeh.tumblr.com/post/39395219375/so-im-watching-the-mummers-parade">posted on Tumblr</a>: essentially, that Mycroft Holmes's distaste for "legwork" comes from that terrible period of time when he was assigned to infiltrate a <a href="http://www.phillymummers.com/wenchbrigades.htm">wench brigade</a> because members of it were involved in idk terrorism or something. But he is a young and quite junior analyst, and has to go where he is told, even if it involves having to drink frankly unpalatable beer and hang out with individuals who believe that English still has a viable plural second person pronoun. ("Youse" is not something he can bring himself to utter, no matter if it strains his membership in the community.) At some point into this tortuous experience Sherlock (then in university, because timelines) shows up to make fun of him, just in time to see the parade, which ends with Mycroft having to beat up the international criminals while wearing his braids and all. When he gets back to England, Sherlock buys him a nice new umbrella for a belated Christmas gift. Mycroft resents this mightily, but takes to bringing it with him everywhere.<br /><br />YOU'RE WELCOME. <br /><br />*this plotbunny brought to you by Leigh's Mycroft feels (which rub off after a while)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=amalnahurriyeh&ditemid=76824" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-26:126328:76136amalnahurriyeh @ 2012-12-27T13:43:002012-12-27T18:56:55Z2012-12-27T18:56:55Zpublic10Leigh is in bed, sick with the post-Christmas stomach bug that we've been passing around.

"For her present!" So he sits down across from me and demands paper and crayons, and gets to work.<br /><br />Two minutes later:<br /><br />"I am writing a story for C's mom," he says, now. "How do you spell Sherlock?"<br /><br />"What is Sherlock going to do in your story?"<br /><br />"Amazing things."<br /><br />I spell Sherlock. He carefully writes each letter (replacing the ones he can't write with circles and squiggles--hey, he's only four), and then draws a vaguely humanoid figure at the top.<br /><br />"J-J-J," he says. "J is the first letter in John. This is a story of Sherlock and John." He draws a J. I help him with the rest (that silent H is a bitch, really, when you think about it).

You know, a quesadilla, but with bread instead of a tortilla.<br /><br />I paused. "You mean a grilled cheese sandwich?"<br /><br />"No," he said, in that tone of voice that children use when correcting stupid adults. "A. Bread. Quesadilla."<br /><br />"Oh. OK." And I made him one.<br /><br />Points for decolonizing the grilled cheese?<br /><br />***<br /><br />We are behind on getting reading for the December holidays. Today is the first night of Hanukkah, and we're going over a friend's house to do candlelighting and latkes with her and her daughter. I feel a little bad about it--I wanted to do Hanukkah with another family who celebrates it, because I wanted to show Isk that there are actual Jews in the world who celebrate it. (Long story short: Leigh's dad was raised Jewish by very Jewish family, but decided the path to success involved passing as a WASP from his teens on; Leigh was raised Quaker, not really aware of her Jewish roots, and I converted to Quakerism as a teenager after leaving the Catholic Church; we decided as parents to bring back some basic identity with Judaism as culture/tradition/spiritual practice in our family, while remaining Quakers.) But I kind of feel like I was all "hi Jewish friend! be Jewish for us!" I think it's fine, I just feel weird if I got tokenistic there by accident. <br /><br />Isk and I made cookies to bring for dessert, because clearly the thing to do in this case is to bring Christmas cookies to Hanukkah dinner. (Mint chocolate chip cookies, made from <a href="http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/double-chocolate-chip-cookies-in-a-jar/">this recipe.</a> BTW, this is my favorite GF baking blog at the moment. I've also made one of her pies, and it was a hit. And the cookies are excellent.) <br /><br />Tomorrow we'll probably go get our tree from the tree farm. Because we live in the country, and so can do that. We didn't buy an advent calendar this year, so probably I'll hold off on doing Advent/Jesus-y stuff until after Hanukkah is over. One holiday at a time, you know.<br /><br />Also I should take down the Halloween decorations.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Odd thought: am I unusual in Sherlock fandom for *not* being a fan of the broader Sherlock Holmes canon? I mean, it's not like I'm <em>opposed</em> to it. I'm a highly educated and bookish Anglophone person, so I'm familiar with the ACD stories, though I haven't read many of them; we watched a lot of PBS when I was a kid, so I watched the Granada series on Mystery because it was there, and I remember liking it; I saw the first of the Ritchie movies because it looked fun, and I enjoyed it. But I'm not <em>fannish</em> about any of those. And then I did the whole fannish-imprinting thing I do on the BBC version, such that it has <em>eaten my brain</em>, and now not only can I not watch Elementary because of feelings (which sucks, because it seems like it is fun, esp. for a procedurals junkie like me), I don't want to consume any of the other iterations. Like, I am happy when I read fic that consciously draws from ACD canon, because I am into meta, but I don't feel any desire to write it, or to go read the ACD stories for inspiration. I'm glad all the rest of it is there, but I don't have feels for it. But it seems like the majority of the DW/LJ based fans I interact with seem to be fannish about the broader canon. <br /><br />Maybe this is because I hang out with other bookish, highly-educated Anglophone folks? IDK.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=amalnahurriyeh&ditemid=72303" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-26:126328:70840We probably talk about fanfic too much.2012-11-21T04:53:57Z2012-11-21T05:01:58Zpublic3Isk came up to me in the dining room while I was sending a work email.
