I was tagged by @happierstill, and since she’s rather fine, I thought I’d be obliging.
Relationship status: Single and happy about it about 96% of the time. I have disgruntled 4% days, though.
Favorite colour: Black
Pets: None. I could never get a dog while Toby is around, even if he lives in another city. I miss him constantly.
Wake up time: Depends on the day. I never wake up voluntarily. A night owl in a world made for day-dwellers: perpetually short on sleep.
Cats or dogs: I’m sorry, but I loathe cats. To be fair, this is partially because I’m deathly allergic to them. Dogs, definitely, but not just any dog, either. Nothing with really long hair or a really tiny brain. :P
Day or night: Night, always.
Text or call: I prefer to text.
Chapstick or lipstick: Both. Why make anyone choose?? They serve completely different functions.
Last song I listened to: Song for Athene by John Tavener. The choir I conduct is singing it in a few weeks.
Tagging whomever wants to do it. :)

"People like Magnussen should be killed. That’s why there are people like me."
-
“Mary Morstan”, Sherlock, His Last Vow
Right. I love how Mary tries to paint herself as some altruistic, ridding-the-world-of-bad-guys-one-at-a-time sort of person - a vigilante for justice, if you will - when what she actually is is a killer for hire. Mary kills for money, not for principle, and furthermore, that’s beside the point: the scene wherein the audience finds Mary dressed like an assassin, threatening Magnussen at gunpoint after having physically assaulted two of his staff, one of whom was her MAID OF HONOUR, has nothing to do with this.
Mary didn’t go there to kill Magnussen, necessarily. Mary didn’t go there because Charles Magnussen was a horrible person who profited from blackmailing people over their secrets and histories. Nothing of the sort: Mary went there out of pure self-interest. It wasn’t a job; Mary was there to force Magnussen to hand over any incriminating material he had on her. Mary went there to keep herself out of prison, and to keep John from having the agency to make a decision for himself over whether or not he wanted to be married to her. She was willing to do anything to keep John from making an informed decision, up to and including killing his best friend. If Sherlock had died, Mary never would have told John that it was she who had killed him. She would have let him mourn, and been content to be the shoulder on which he cried, just as he always had before.
Let’s not paint Mary as some sort of selfless agent of justice. She’s no Batman. She’s in this for one person and one person only: herself. This isn’t about what’s best for John, best for the world - nope. This is about Mary and Mary alone.

It DOES seem like that, doesn’t it? I don’t think they did; they just had no respect for where anything went or in being careful with stuff so that it didn’t get damaged. I had some earrings and such sitting on top of my desk and they just opened the top drawer and swept everything into it, so now I’m sitting here, untangling my necklaces and such… sigh.

Agreed. Kissing at crime scenes, kissing over the table in restaurants, kissing in cabs, and especially kissing in front of Mycroft just to make him uncomfortable
I am 100% behind this.
