I survived the Reichenbach Fall

SPOILERS. SPOILERS EVERYWHERE. ADVANCE WITH CAUTION.

Oh and a slight gif party.

First off, I was dreading the end of this series as I had no idea what I could do with myself afterwards. While there are rumours that a third series has been confirmed, nothing's for certain. And it'd surely be years away. But I got home and found this in my room as a belated Christmas present. FUCK YEAH!


After the absolute mindfuck induced by the latest Sherlock episode, I find myself wanting to type a load of garbage in order to straighten my head out a little.

First off, the music and cinematogrophy were amazing as always. I thought it was really clever how you found yourself just waiting for the inevitable twist in the tale. The first half hour or so was predictable. Too predictable. So I sat there with my hot water bottle clutched to my chest and suspiciously waited for that twist xP

My face when the plot thickened:


But you know what...I didn't cry at all!!!


I was just about holding myself together but then the phone call and my god my heart broke and I thought I was going to throw up haha.

But most of the episode I was just like


I even found myself loving Moriarty as he sat there with the crown jewels, but still hating him with every fibre of my being! And for the first time I really liked Molly - before she just seemed like an idiot, but I think we can all say we've been there before!

Now the thing really screwing me over is...are they dead or alive? Sherlock was shown at the end, but it's like...how could anyone survive that? But then there is the mysterious favour he asked of Molly, but I can't for the life of me figure it out! And if Sherlock is alive, then surely Moriarty is too (Fight Club flashbacks here...AGAIN).

I really wouldn't be able to do my work today even if I had been emailed with how to do what I need to do!

HUZZAH!

Lucky Pack Palava & A Scandal in Belgravia

While lucky packs this year weren't as stressful an ordeal as last year, I still had my share of disappointments and confusion!

Firstly they popped up on an Angelic Pretty Japanese reserve page unexpectedly. The set I wanted was already sold out, and by the time I decided to request a different pack via a shopping service and they checked the site, the page was gone!

My next plan was to get one on the International site. However, there was no announcement and they were released at 12pm on New Year's Eve instead of the traditional 12am. I missed them completely, as they came out at 3am!


Thankfully a friend pointed me towards an in-store SS, who said she'd try to get one pack for me but couldn't get both. She scored a pink salopette set for me on New Year's Day. While I'm happy I got one, I only really wanted it in black and will be desperately trying to trade!

I figured I'd try on the USA site to try to get my first choice colour. I checked 12pm NYE just in case. Nothing. Checked at 12am. Nothing (wasn't very impressed at 8am haha). An announcement appears, saying they'd be released 12pm NYD. Get a LiveJournal message hours before that time saying that they'd released them early and were all sold out.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

The bastards!


As it happens, my SS was going pack hunting again on NYD and scored me the pink Happy Girl set I'd also wanted, but still. What the hell was up with the websites this year? They seem awfully biased against Europeans! Unless Paris *does* do them, but I've heard nothing at all ever on the subject.

I'll review them when they arrive. Dreading the overall cost since I feel I got kinda ripped off SS-wise. Heh.


In other news...the new episode of Sherlock aired last night! I'd been looking forward to it since watching the first series last year, and it didn't disappoint!

The conclusion to The Great Game wasn't what I was expecting, but I was surprised and laughed out loud! But I am so so happy about the rest of the episode, as there was a lot of speculation about the relationship between Sherlock and Irene, but they nailed it. The ending managed to surprise me for once (I usually predict everything), although it might just be because I have a bad cold and had a headache! The only aspect of the episode I didn't like was the violin-playing, because it was painfully obvious that Benedict isn't a violinist! He was doing it all wrong Dx

I think my bf had more fun watching me than watching the episode, laughing at me when I stopped drinking tea mid-sip when the sheet slipped!

If you haven't watched Sherlock, I urge you to watch it! There's much more I'd like to say, but I don't want spoilerate heehee. But here's a teaser for the episode ;]

Ponies. Lots and lots of ponies.

So this week I finally caved and started watching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. And...I like it! Okay, most of the characters are a bit annoying and it's pretty much Yu-Gi-Oh but without the cardgames and with added ponies, but it's good fun and I don't have the time to get into a longer series at the moment.


On a somewhat related note, my love for fairy kei is growing! As such I've been hunting for pastels with more effort than ever before. Not ready to take the plunge into fairy kei yet and not sure I ever will, but most of my items will work fine for casual sweet lolita.



My Little Pony t-shirts! Mwahahaha! I've been thinking about buying some actual ponies too since I only ever had the Burger King ones and they've long since been thrown out =[ but they seem pretty expensive and scraggy-haired, so I'm abandoning that idea for now.


Lavender shorts! I'm loving this colour at the moment. Unfortunately these shorts are a bit small so I have a mega muffin top when wearing them. Kinda annoying as I bought them half a size bigger than I usually wear, so they must be sized wrong.

Unrelated, but I also got this Moriarty t-shirt because this bit of Sherlock made me laugh out loud xP


That's about it for now! I might cover Petit Patisserie (shouldn't it be 'petite'? it's like Fantasic Dolly all over again) and Marionette Clock a different time, though I didn't really like either series. I have an accessory pack on its way (there may well be bear ears involved...) which I'll review when it arrives too =3
