kinklock: The fairy tales shown in this book from TRF (which I...
The fairy tales shown in this book from TRF (which I assume have probably already been meta’d at some point???) have some pretty clear associations that i’ve been really digging:
- The Frog-King or Iron Henry is the Princess and the Frog — I’m inferring from this the current state of things in S2, which is largely poor John, asking to be let into the princess’ castle, and Sherlock is just not having him yet
- Cat and Mouse in Partnership - like lol yes Jim, it’s your wet dream, we get it, this reads like his proposition after pointing out that John isn’t getting any
- Our Lady’s Child - this story is complicated, but sounds A LOT like Mary. An orphan girl who disobeys the Virgin Mary by lying three times, and is outcast. The King marries her during this time - John was just the frog king a second ago - but she is later condemned to death (also something about eating her children???)
- The Story of the Youth who went forth to learn what Fear was (with a cross next to it instead of an asterisk!) - This could really be the alternate title of BBC Sherlock tbh, and also strongly reminds me of the conversation with mind palace Moriarty about not fearing the pain of heart break
- Faithful John - That’s just really. straight up.
- The Good Bargain - a story about framing someone for crimes they didn’t commit, presumably a reference to Moriarty setting Sherlock up
- The Strange Musician - a lonely fiddler (… that’s just so…) is bored and longs for company, so he starts to play his fiddle. He attracts attention from many animals, but they aren’t the company he seeks, so he ensnares them so he can get away. He eventually meets a woodsman, who is the person he wants to be with (this is so!!!) but by then the wolf has broken free and the animals are coming for him! however, the woodsman protects the lonely fiddler from the animals —- Has literally anything ever sounded more like Moriarty being jealous and trying to destroy johnlock, like literally ever
- The Pack of Ragamuffins - homeless network pals?
- The Fisherman and His Wife - “the story of how one woman’s unbridled greed leads to dissatisfaction and, eventually nothing” Interesting.
- The Valiant Little Tailor (hasa dash next to it!) This story is about a little tailor outsmarting giants and receiving critical acclaim for his deeds (basically brains beats brawn), aka Sherlock around the time of TRF. Fun fact, once the princess of the kingdom learns of the tailor’s “weakness” (which is that he is very small), she plans to kill him. Interesting foreshadowing for Mary?
- Cinderella & Rapunzel both get a line next to them, and Cinderella also gets an asterisk — I’m getting from this that Sherlock the “Ugly Duckling” is gonna be the belle of the ball when he goes full swan (also, he’s still waiting for his prince to come …..)
- The Riddle - likely just meant to indicate “the final problem”, but is also a story about a prince and his servant, and his servant constantly protecting him from harm
- Mother Hulle - the queen goddess of sorts, which is likely meant to mean Mycroft lol
- The Seven Ravens, the Twelve Brothers, Brother and Sister and Hansel and Gretel are all about a woman rescuing her brother/brothers. Make of that what you will, but it could very well be a hint at the other Holmes sibling and her role.
- Little Red Cap I think it’s interesting this is the last story on the list. If you consider that John is the woodsman in the Strange Musician, then little red cap (Sherlock) is tricked and devoured by the wolf (Moriarty) but is later saved and freed by the huntsman <3
- just a lot of threes in general: The Three Little Men in the Wood, The Three Spinners, The Three Snake-Leaves, The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean, The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage (I like to think John’s the sausage)

Confidential: The 'National Enquirer' Of The 1950s
Confidential: The 'National Enquirer' Of The 1950s:
The same year, “girlie magazine” publisher Robert Harrison decided to launch a gossip rag all about Hollywood celebrities called Confidential. The subhead of Confidential— “names the names” — is exactly what the magazine did: It called out celebrities who were in the closet, in rehab or having marital problems.
"They were sleazy and accurate," says Scott, who details the ups and downs of Confidential in his new book, Shocking True Story. “They also printed a little less than they knew — they might not choose to mention that the woman [in an affair] was 14. If the man said, ‘We’ll sue,’ they said, ‘We’ll mention she was a minor.’ “
Confidential specialized in spreading gossip about huge Hollywood stars — and making sure the facts were right. When Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball were on the cover of Life magazine, for example, Confidential ran a cover story saying Arnaz had an affair with a prostitute. (Which was true, but it had happened years earlier.)
The magazine also used innuendo to talk about celebrities indirectly.
"When they wrote about Lizabeth Scott," says Henry Scott (no relation), "they didn’t say she was a lesbian. They said she preferred the company of babes."
Confidential alluded to the sexuality of a number of celebrities, among them Tab Hunter — and hired a former Los Angeles cop named Fred Otash to wire Rock Hudson’s home.
"Otash had access to conversations where [Hudson] confesses to having sex with a man and talked at length about his life," says Scott. "The studios prevailed on Confidential not to write it, and said they’d give them a story of Rory Calhoun instead. Calhoun was a small-time criminal, and [Confidential] wrote a story about his secret criminal life. But instead of hurting him, [the story] made [Calhoun] into a tough guy.”
"prefers the company of babes"

john has the most complex fucked up perception of sherlock. like on the one hand he knows him better than anyone and refuses to believe people who don’t think he’s vulnerable and he absolutely believes sherlock is the most human human-being he knows. and on the other hand he is too deep in love so he has to protect himself somehow and he keeps telling himself sherlock doesn’t feel things that way and he hears sherlock call love “human error” and asks who sherlock would bother protecting. and still he believes the best of sherlock WHILE ALSO also believing sherlock doesn’t experience romantic feelings (or at least not for him.) like…save this man how has his brain not burst yet, accommodating so many contradictory beliefs about the person he is in love with who he thinks doesn’t love him back like….p l e a s e
