Baby Watson - Tumblr Posts
I honestly don't see the baby as being any sort of problem. Idk if you've seen the show "Bones", which I was very happy to see discussed a bit in an advent video (I apologize that I can't remember who's it was off the top of my head). Anyway, the Sherlock and John of this show not only fall in love and get married in a beautiful way that only makes the show better, but they have not one but two babies. The Bones fandom was worried about how the first baby would affect the show as well, but all that concern turn out to be for nothing. In fact, she was hardly ever shown at all. Every once in a while they'd throw in a cute little family moment with baby, and then they'd both be dashing off to another case. I feel that, if they keep her (which I'll admit is my preferred outcome by a huge margin), it's not going to be the disaster so many people seem to think it's gonna be. If a show has good writers *cough* Moftiss*cough*, there's no reason why a baby can't fit into a show without ripping a hole in the space-time continuum. Just my two cents.
the biggest most confusing part of all of this is honestly how the baby is gonna….work. like ???

1) I'm so happy I finally have a place to say this! This has been bugging me, & honestly hurting me quite a bit ever since TSoT aired. It's that everyone wants the baby dead or ghosted. My friend recently had a stillborn son, & it was very traumatic
2) She and I have kind of kind of found ourselves clinging to Sherlock for comfort, & I’m terrified that everyone’s right. I don’t think this community has ever considered how traumatic & triggering infant death can be on people like her & even…
3) myself. Ever time I see it mentioned in TJLC meta I get sick to my stomach & glad that she doesn’t read it. I want to be part of this community, but just about everyone in it has this inherent hated towards babies that I just can’t get behind.
4) Worst of all, I know how much it will hurt my friend if these predictions come true, & that genuinely frightens me. I know this season is suppose to be dark, but can’t we make people cry without hurting a baby or discarding it because you find…
5) it inconvenient? I’m so sorry this got so long, but I’ve been holding this in for a long time, and it feels so good to get it out. Thank you for this blog!
Hey! Thanks for sharing your story! And that’s what we’re here for, glad to help!
Those theories are going around, for sure, and people aren’t always great about putting trigger warnings on things. I don’t have much in the way of advice because I don’t have any personal experience and I’ve never really subscribed to those theories before, but I think this is a really important perspective to share. I will say, despite what’s out in the TJLC community, none of us REALLY know what’s going to happen this series, so don’t be too dejected!
And P.S. I like babies a lot, so your story breaks my heart. I wish you and your friend the best.
