I interrupted the Oscars—an unforgivable offense—to tell my parents I’d won something on the internet NO MOM, SOMETHING LEGIT and when I told them I’d won an original Sherlock drawing by a really talented fanartist, my dad goes, “Oh, you should request a threesome! Sherlock, John, and Moriarty!”

I’m actually a bit sad because I thought for a minute that my dad had an OT3.
