Anonymous asked:

Do you ever just think about how CAM told Sherlock he couldn't be a hero this time and yet after Sherlock shoots CAM and falls to his knees on the steps with his coat blowing like a cape and all the lights shining on him, Sherlock has never looked more like a superhero

“One day just showing up won’t be enough. One day we’ll be standing round a body and Sherlock Holmes’ll be the one that put it there.” - Sally Donovan, ASiP

Such is the Tragedy of Sherlock Holmes – In the end, the hero gives up his life and freedom for the one he loves the most. THIS was his “great to good man” resolution, not whatever the hell TFP was. This was Sherlock wearing his heart on his sleeve, purposely waiting until there were witnesses so that John would never ever be blamed for anything.

The whole scene breaks my heart so much.

Modernist manuals of writing often conflate story with conflict. This reductionism reflects a culture that inflates aggression and competition while cultivating ignorance of other behavioral options. No narrative of any complexity can be built on or reduced to a single element. Conflict is one kind of behavior. There are others, equally important in any human life, such as relating, finding, losing, bearing, discovering, parting, changing. Change is the universal aspect of all these sources of story. Story is something moving, something happening, something or somebody changing.

Ursula K. Le Guin (via unreconstructedfangirl)

#THIS!#I feel that the idea that a narrative must revolve around conflict is a stereotypically male point of view#I reject it
