i know ive talked about this before but we literally have no reason not to bring the original gay flag made in the 70s by gilbert baker back to regular use!

the pink stripe was simply taken away because pink fabric was too expensive to mass reproduce at the time, and the turquoise stripe was taken away for a really odd reason: for the harvey milk remembrance parade in 1979, they wanted three stripes on each side of the street and didn’t want it to be asymmetrical, so they did away with the turquoise stripe. like, they could have fixed it in some other way without removing a whole stripe, but eh whatever history’s history.

the pink originally symbolized sex and the turquoise was for magic/art and it would just be really cool if we could bring both the stripes back into regular use again since there wasn’t any significance behind the removal of the stripes and we’re perfectly capable of mass producing flags with all the stripes again!

if anyone is interested, in 2017, shortly before he died, gilbert baker added a 9th stripe in lavender to represent diversity, partly in response to trump’s election. while i dont expect it to gain any kind of widespread usage, it is an interesting fact!

So beautiful

Since it seems that OP has deleted, and this was never posted with artist credit, the artist is toerning on DeviantArt.  And this is part of a post-reichenbach series she did, which also includes this piece, this one, and also this one.

Though, the artist states you can interpret the piece as you wish, in the context of the series, I think it is clear that this is John dreaming/hallucinating Sherlock is actually there.

I don’t want to be pedantic, but this particular drawing isn’t part of the artist’s post Reichenbach series, @sussexbound-main. The title of the piece on deviantart is “A No Patch Kind Of Day
…which is as close to it gets to a lazy Sunday for Sherlock” [bolding mine].

The artist’s statement about interpreting the drawing also isn’t related in any way to “Reichenbach” but to shipping Sherlock and John.
It goes as follows: “Feel free to interpret this drawing however you will (and many of you will,) but I don’t actually “ship” these guys […]”.

So this piece can be interpreted in many ways. It could be a happy, as well as a sad scenario, it could be post Reichenbach, or not Reichenbach related at all.

However, someone apparently felt inspired and wrote a post Reichenbach fanfic for it. The link to the story on the deviantart page is broken, but it’s called “Far from my Gaze“ and

can be found here.

In this story, John doesn’t hallucinate Sherlock, but Sherlock actually visits 221b secretly while John is asleep.
