So, you’ve survived a year, a FULL YEAR, since Reichenbach. Good job, you. In that time you’ve probably read (and written) fanfiction, seen enough fanart to last a lifetime, drank Sherlock tea, discovered the Red Pants tag and completely lost your sanity. Well, the bad news is that Sherlock season 3 does not start filming until March of this year; the good news is we’ve found a new way to occupy your time until the first photos of the actors on-set begin to trickle onto Tumblr.
Be warned, this drinking game is not for the weak of heart (or liver). This drinking game is the ULTIMATE drinking game, meant to get you through to season three… or die, in which case you’ll have to sell your soul to Crowley so you can live to see Season 3. The rules are simple: Get a drink. Go to the “sherlock” tag on Tumblr. See what comes up. If it’s on our list… drink accordingly. Ready? Let’s go.
Try not to die. Good luck.

Amusing Sherlock fiction related fact. A recent stage production of Frankenstein starring both Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller had them both in the lead roles, alternately playing both Frankenstein and the Creature.
Mind. Blown.

This drinking game might as well be called: drink to every post on the sherlock tag.

And: “I Am Sherlocked.” Don’t forget that one
Oh, and: Take an extra shot if one of the ReichenFeels/can has seaosn 3 nao plz?/Moffaaaaat posts is your own. Not that that would apply to me, I mean I…er…oh look, Sherlock in a bedsheet! *toasts*
What is this red pants reference I keep seeing on Tumblr? To quote John, “…I’ve missed something, haven’t I?”

Ok, red pants Monday is just a tumblr thing started by reapersun that got real big out of the blue. Pretty sure its not referring to any quote or significant moment in the series, but i suppose in one of the episodes we catch a glimpse of john’s red pants (?) (I never actually looked out for it, but I might next time I watch the series) (by the way, pants in the british sense of the term. usually y-front briefs in this context) Since then every Monday fanartists and Drabble writers post johnlock-related-involving-red-underpants stuff on tumblr, and it’s a grand old time.
Just a note, much of it is nsfw, I learned that the hard way.
Also, recently there was a red thong Monday phase, which was entertaining but really strange and thank god that didn’t last any longer than it did.
Enjoy

Was it a REALLY hard way?

Sup, Loki.
To answer your question, it was a got-my-iPad-confiscated-till-Friday-and-awkward-conversation-with-my-parents-about-porn-in-class way. Could have been worse. But. Ugh.
