Sherlock and tv shows and happiness

I think that the thing I love the most about watching a new TV show that I really enjoy is being able to finally watch the behind the scenes without any fear of spoilers, and also being able to search the tumblr tags and watch the youtube interviews and cast funny moments and still being able to hang on to that certain show, even though it's finished, or three years away. I just finished watching the last available episode of Sherlock, the BBC series, and let me tell you. That is some good shit, right there. The acting is so spot on and the fact it's set during the modern days is what attracted me the most. I'll be honest now, though, I do have a tiny little crush on Bennedict Cumberbatch (who doesn't amirite?), because he is indeed really handsome, but, oh my angel, I think this is the show where I've caught myself smiling the most, and where I've laughed the loudest and where I got the most chills from. Getting addicted to a new thing, a show in this case, means changing the way I see things. Throughout the whole time I was watching Sherlock, I couldn't stop thinking about whether or not a mind palace would actually be real and possible, and not just a writer's creation. I also thought about how much I wanted to be as smart as Sherlock, and how I wanted to ve able to analyze everything and make deductions so fast. Sherlock Holmes is now definitely one of my favorite characters of all time, because of how complex and rich he is. Sherlock didn't fail us fangirls when it comes to character developing, although it does leave a lot for us to think about and to "deduce" ourselves about Sherlock and John, which is a detail that I love about anything that I watch. It makes me want more and more. So, until 2017, our this year's special Victorian episode, I'll bury myself in behind the scenes and funny moments and Johnlock fan art (even though I'm probably the only one who absolutely DESPISES it) and character development texts on tumblr. But it's not just the tv show is it? It's also all that it implies. All the staff behind the cameras, the directors, the script writers, the producers, even the actors. All the friendships and even relationships that are formed, and now I'm not talking about Sherlock specifically. All of this reminds me, us, viewers, that there's life behind all of the shows we watch and love. There's humans, lives, sentiment behind all of that. Memories created, happiness, sadness, and stress and all that comes with producing a show, or a movie, or anything. I can't talk from personal experience but I can indeed talk about these behind the scenes, and these youtubers videos that I watch, about how stressful everything actually is. But also about how worth it it is in the end. How they wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. How happy they are that they get these opotunities for creating these 'masterpieaces'. And maybe it's all staged. Maybe it's all an acted, and nothing is real, and they're being paid to say those lovely things. But I like to believe it's not fake. That is really, and that the happiness is genuine. And that makes me a tad bit happier as well. Because I've felt that way, proud and happy and completely fulfilled (kinda sorta) and it reminds me of that and it makes ME even happier, that there are still people there content. it also makes me really want to produce my own movie. maybe someday. i also love that fact that BBC doesn't forget the fangirls and includes some johnlock in the show. really proud of how far we've come. even though i hate johnlock. Music of the day: Proof, by Paramore. It's a love song, but a happy one, and it always makes me feel all giddy and romantic and happy for at least 3 minutes and 15 seconds. It makes me feel as if I'm the one singing the song. Happy. Happy is good. See ya later, alligator.
