A brief reminder

heimishtheidealhusband:

When was the last time you took a moment, really took a moment, to appreciate that this:

is a thing that exists? Let me remind you:

Thompson wrote it
Moffatt and Gatiss read it and were like, yup, that’s staying in

Sue was like, hell yes that’s going into production
The director was like, here’s my vision on how to turn this in to reality
It got storyboarded

The DP carefully blocked out potential camera angles
Arwel went and found a dildo
Someone mixed up the batch of jizz to the perfect consistency
And then applied it to Ben C’s face
Meanwhile someone else got the lighting just right so we could clearly see it on his face even in the dim room

Ben C rehearsed it and was like, well obviously I should be kneeling but let me practice my best swishy dabbing, we’ll probably need another take on that
Martin was like, hold on, let me open my mouth wide enough so you can really get the camera right up in there, my tonsils went to method acting school you know
And then after they shot it everyone is looking at the screen on set and are like, yes, good
The literal hours of post production effort to insert Sherlock into John’s mouth
And then they went and added the dabbing sound effects and the swishy sound effects
Moffitsson gets the rough cut and are probably high fiving forever
And finally the BBC commissioners got it and were like 10/10 excellent work

It’s moments like this I remember how much the showrunners love us and want us to have nice things.
