Some good ol’ ACD Holmes and Watson

[jonk-md]

Fellas is it gay to send your flatmate a picture of yourself for him to cherish, with a caption saying you miss him?

And is it gay to then track down the flatmate who says he misses you, send him a photograph in return, and show up where he is?

Also Please someone spot the Polari please please please please please plea

[tremendously-crazy]

Sherlock Holmes fans don't want much. They just want to see a universe where Holmes and Watson actually get to be together.

Sherlock: Unbelievable. Here I am, the perfect wifeguy, and yet you haven’t even tried to propose to me >:(

Watson: wot

Sherlock: wot

You're Sherlock Holmes.

You're unique, and you know it. You're one of the smartest people in the world, and you take pride in it. You refine your skills, use them and make a living out of it like no one else could. It's not always good, though. You don't fit with others. No one truly sees or understands you — and at this point, you're sure no one ever can.

You move in with a new flatmate. You have him figured out pretty much from the moment you met him: he's quite simple, really, there's not much to learn. It's not long before you know his every habit, every expression — his expressions are so easy to read, the man is an open book. He's good company, though. And he doesn't seem to mind your eccentricities, so that's nice. You bond, somewhat.

And then — then, he surprises you for the first time. And the second. And the third. He's smarter than you thought, braver than you thought, more loyal, more stubborn than you ever realised, and as you live on together for longer and longer, as you grow closer and closer, he doesn't ever stop surprising you. Just as you think that this time, surely you know all there is to know about him, it turns out there's a new side to him you've never yet experienced. Just as you think you can always predict how he'd behave, he turns to do something unexpected. You spend years together, he's your closest friend, your other half, and there's still so much to learn about him, you know your study will never be complete.

And just as you realise how you can never truly learn all there is to know about him, he learns all there is to know about you. Your habits are unique, strange, unconventional, and he knows them all. Your expressions are unreadable, misleading at times, and he can read every one of them. Your moods are fast-changing, and he anticipates them, and knows how to deal with each one. He knows your opinions, your tastes, what you'll find interesting, what'll make you bored and irritated. At times, you think he knows you better than you know yourself.

He understands you. You never thought anyone could — but then, John Watson always surprised you.

Friendly reminder that Doctor John Watson had no one. He returned from the war ill and newly disabled. He had nowhere to turn at his most vunerable moments and drifted without purpose within his new, alien life.

Friendly reminder that Sherlock Holmes had no one. He was different, no one understood him. He had been battling addiction alone for years. His only chance at survival in a world he was ill-suited for was to carve out his own niche.

Friendly reminder that they met each other when each of them desperatly needed someone. Friendly reminder that Holmes was instantly open with Watson, and Watson was instantly smitten. Friendly reminder that Holmes provided Watson with a mystery, a distraction that Watson desperatly needed. Friendly reminder that Watson showered Holmes in praise when he was so unused to it. Friendly reminder that Holmes let Watson write about his life, and Watson helped him through crippling drug addiction.

They're both broken men who begin to heal in the presence of each other. They built their lives around each other, encouraged each other, comforted each other. If they hadn't met, their lives would have been worse for it.

Since Watson is canonically an unreliable narrator, anything could have plausibly happened behind the closed doors of 221B. He doesn't tell us readers everything. Any sort of twist could have happened during a case that he couldn't write for the public... Like all those times he kissed Sherlock Holmes.

The Devils Foot

Drew this whilst listening to the bbc radio dramas of the devils foot. It’s my favourite Holmes story and I also really like it when the adaptations make it so John comforts Sherlock…. Or when Sherlock calls him John in Granada ❤️.

[spider-gem]

Gay people can never say “I love you” it’s always gotta be some shit like:

“It was worth a wound; it was worth many wounds; to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.”

Let them be content let them be cozy let them be happy
