How hard do you find it? Having to say ‘I don’t know’?

I don’t know.

scandisherlockians:

The Sherlock fandom have a lot of inside jokes like the jam, kittens and so on. I have tried to put the biggest of them together and ties to explain their origin. I hope someone finds it useful :)

The Jam - The jam (mostly strawberry or raspberry) did not originate within the Sherlock fandom. It’s based on a comic where a Victorian Watson likes jam very much. Link to the original comic

Anderson and the dinosaur - What I have been told it originated from a kink meme which said : “Anderson thinks of dinosaurs when he masturbate.” I have no source to the original meme.

Martin is made of kittens - It’s not hard to find the origin for this. Martin is adorable. What else is adorable? Kittens. So therefore Martin must be made of kittens.

Tell me about Rupert Graves - When a Sherlockian says to you “Tell me about Rupert Graves” you have to answer: “Rupert Graves is good at football and has five children” This originated from the audio commentary of The Great Game on the Sherlock DVD. In the audio Mark says: “Tell us about Rupert Graves, Benedict.” where Benedict answer : …is a good football… and so on. Link to the audio

Sherlock the hammer shark - In some fanart they draw Sherlock as a hammer shark. What I can think is the origin of this is that people think of Benedict cheekbones. If this is the case I haven’t got it confirmed.

John the hedgehog - Origin? Simple, hedgehogs are adorable.

Sussex Vampires - also known as glamlock. It’s an AU that someone came up with. Sherlock and John are dressed up in David Bowie inspired clothes and have an art/glam rock band called ‘Sussex Vampires’. John’s stage name is Johnny Lazers.

The cat jumper - It’s originate from where someone found a jumper/sweater with creepy cats on (Image here) and asked someone to draw John/Martin in it. So people did. I have even see some art with Sherlock, Moriarty and Mycroft wearing it but it’s mostly “John’s” sweater

Moves Like Jagger (Aka: The Official Sherlock Fandom Theme Song) - I don’t think anyone really knows the reason it started to be the theme song for the fandom. However Sherlock has got dem moves like Jagger, and basically the entire song describes all the sexual tension and homoerotic subtext in the the show. Plus it’s awesome and catchy as hell. 

Flowers In A Box - If there someone is writing about Sherlock in uncharacteristically bad spelling, then either they just can’t spell, or they are quoting this piece of fanfiction. The one (and I think original) trollfic for the show… it’s create quite a few memes and you really just need to go and read it for them to make sense. Well actually they don’t make much sense after you read it either, it’s all good. It was inspired by the ultimate troll (or possibly not, nobody knows) fic of all time. My Immortal.

Alone on the water- It is the most famous Sherlock fanfic ever. Mostly because it is so depressing. Put a bunch of Sherlockians in a room and just start saying alone on the water, they will instantly start wanting to kill themselves. Few people have ever read it without crying. Everything Is Alone On The Water and everything hurts.

So done, I hope I could straight out some question marks for some of you :)
