"Ugly Christmas Jumper Contest"

(to the tune of "We Three Kings of Orient Are")

"DEEP, deep in the heart of London, children, under the cover of night, there came together dozens of dark figures to a place of brooding and swilling. A 'pub', they say in whispered curses when they think no-one can hear. The figures' murky, nefarious purpose was revealed in the dim light within. A crowd of gibbering watchers lined the walls with their nasty, foaming libations in hand. They were waiting for a spectacle. They were waiting for a crucifixion. Each poor soul thereafter who entered the 'pub' walked with intention as though stepping through thick shame to a place of execution. They stood on the dais, open to the cat-calls of the public, wearing their badges of dishonor with what pride they could muster. Until finally, the Adversary Donovan called the rabble to still their hateful laughter to begin the ritual .... " "Oh, for fuck's sake Sherlock, it was just an ugly jumper contest. You are such a drama queen," John laughed, and he poked the side of the wet cat that was Sherlock. "You had fun! I know you did. You got to see Mycroft ...." Sherlock burst out, "SNORT! Haha, very well, John. Yes, that was worth the whole evening of torture and scratchy wool. Mycroft will owe me soooo many favors for not releasing these pictures. I can't wait to show him." "One more thing you learned from Irene," John thought and shook his head fondly.

(Solemnly, solo violin)

1. Ugly Christmas jumper contest: Choose which one you think is the best! Is it Gerry's, plastic cherries bobbled all o'er his chest?

Chorus: O-oh! Jumpers made with utmost care By a festive, sleepy bear? Or a speeding grandma needing Extra light with loving flair?

2. Sherlock's wearing one with a scowl. It looks like a bright lit-up towel. Shapeless draping, odd landscaping -- Sporting some kind of fowl. (Chorus)

3. Then there is the jumper on John! Each guy in the birth scene's a prawn. Underwater, baby otter Swims in the seaweed lawn. (Chorus)

4. Mrs. Hudson is not immune. Her red top with rhinestones is strewn. They spell "JOLLY" and then "HOLLY" With tinsel gilt festoon. (Chorus)

5. Mycroft's proudly shaking his tum, Wearing coins that drape to his bum! Sequins, patching, gold yarn thatching Someone has spiked his rum. *coughgregcough*

Last Chorus: O-oh! Everyone is good and drunk. Every jumper was pure junk! But there's cheering, more than jeering, This whole contest's a slam-dunk!

What is your favorite jumper of John's? Or if you hate them all what clothing do you think he looks best in?

My favourite jumper of John's would be this one:

However, I do prefer him in other outfits, something more formal like a well-fitted suit or a uniform.

Looking at this photo with such poor lighting quality @consult-sherlockholmes took of John's jumper, I wanna start a new trivia:

There are no winners or losers, just for fun! (@consultjohnwatson , no help from you is allowed!)

[meandhisjohn]

turtely's OTP challenge

now on ao3! (tumblr link)

read part 17 here: (prompt: washing something)

summary:

"I don't get it!", a very grumpy John Watson stomped through the flat. Almost aggressively searching for the one jumper.

Out of a sudden spur, John marched into Sherlock's room without knocking. Sherlock looked at him, startled. With John's jumper in his hands.

"Is that... my jumper?" John asked surprised.

Sherlock - looking caught - stared up at John. Looked at the jumper in his hands... looked at John again. "It... might be?"

Since you are the unofficial jumpers of Watson expert, I have a question for you.

Imagine John chooses his jumper of the day to tell Sherlock something. Like a secret language in jumpers. Which message would each of the jumpers convey?

Ooh! I like this! (and am I ?! ♡ (✿◠‿◠) ♡) honored @myriath

(omg don't look at the date) (jesus, liri) (inorite???)

-----------------------------------------------

John likes to be comfortable. Casual. But classic. But ... he's also not a HUGE fan of ironing ... hence the jumpers. Over the years, Sherlock has begun to decode the messages behind each and every one of John's jumpers. As tough, and stong, and durable as John himself. Or soft, and sexy, and tactile ... also like John ...

Sometimes, Sherlock finds a new jumper, and buys it for him. Just to learn what new message this one will carry in their lives.

------------------------------------------------

The Oatmeal Jumper

I'm nothing. No one. Just an ordinary old man with a war injury. Useless really. Might just sit down and ... blend in. Nothing to see here, right? Wait ... why are you looking at me like I'm ... ? I'm interesting? ... me?? You do realise, it's just ... me ... ? ... right?

Maybe I'll wear it again ... just to test the hypothesis and make sure you aren't ... oh. You are ...

Well then ... I need to think about ... about this ...

The Christmas Jumper

You bought me this and didn't think I'd wear it did you? Well ... joke's on you! I think you're hot. And I'll wear this sweater, no matter how warm it is in here with this fire. Just to show you that I freaking LOVE anything you give me. Even if you don't realize yet how much I love you ... and I'll be damned if i'm even gonna try mentioning it yet! Yeah, nope ... too soon. Just flaunt the jumper.

The Blue Button Down Jumper

I'm your blogger. Your one friend. Your indispensable companion. Your conductor of light. I look good in blue? ... I do. I really do. Think I'll wear this color more often ... Your eyes ... they seem drawn to it. ... to me ... Though I can tell you're trying to show you aren't looking.

The tight layer was a good move ... Maybe I should get a few more.

The Striped Jumper

I'm so cozy around you. I just want to enjoy this morning. Have a lie in. Make breakfast. Let the world mind it's own matters today ... We have each other ... Just you and I against the world.

The Green Jumper Vest

You. Jumped. You jumped, and you made me watch. And now I'm getting married to someone else ...

... Of course I'm comfortable in my new life! See! Old man. Dressed for the part already. Ordinary plain ol' John again, remember? Just. That. Guy™. Clearly not as important as your homeless network or your favourite villain! Even your brother knew! Your damn. Brother.

He's not even looking. Not even ...

I'm burning this vest tomorrow. F*ck it. I could at least try ...

The Blue Jumper Redux

I remember you liked me in blue. How's this then? Cashmere. That's right. Two can dress to kill, mister fancy-pants! I'll wear it and wait to see what you think of it. A bit jealous, eh? heh. That's right.

I've still got it.

Maybe I'll wear this on the stag night.

Just you and me.

Once last chance to make your move.

I don't mind.

[consult-sherlockholmes]

SHERLOCK! Leave that jumper where you found it. NOW.

But John told me to wear it. So I am allowed.

[janeofcakes]

John needs this jumper. It’s perfect.

They say that people usually take on a little niche interest, or subtle personality trait, or similar quirks to their comfort characters that they grew up reading/watching.... Well, thank you, John Hamish Watson for giving me a life-long obsession with knitted jumpers, and a stubborn tendency to "hunt and peck" when I write!
