neurodivergent procrastination be like. i want to listen to this podcast. i should listen to this podcast. i’m now two episodes behind i should probably listen to it. don’t want spoilers, should listen to it. hey i should probably listen to-
I keep seeing people asking what sherlock was doing with his finger snapping thing in the latest Sh&Co episode (ep. 28, silver blaze) — this is a regular stim of mine and i’m pretty sure it’s what he’s trying to do !! :D
I know it was painfully obvious that John getting shot fucked up Sherlock pretty bad in that moment, like the man snapped. And understandably so, I mean he thought his best friend was just shot dead. (Not to mention that if I’m not mistaken this is the first time we’ve heard Sherlock refer to John as his best friend out loud but that is another piece of emotional baggage for another day) But what about after the whole thing?
John is ok he’s not in any danger and Sherlock knows this but do you think he wakes up in a cold sweat some nights because he dreamt that maybe John wasn’t wearing the vest. That his best friend really was taken from him just like that.
I feel like it would become a thing for him that he constantly needs to reassure himself that John is indeed, in fact, alive and well and still here. Maybe when he has those nightmares of John dying he gets up and goes to his room to make sure John is still breathing, or if John is sitting on true couch Sherlock will come over and just sit and put his ear against John’s heart to hear his heart beating, or if he’ll just randomly grab John’s wrist to check his pulse at times. Because even though he can clearly see John belong alive and well, he needs to feel that he’s alive too.
Idk I can’t stop thinking about how drastically his whole demeanor switched in that instant and I just can’t help but think it definetly stuck with him even after the fact.
sherlock & co is so so good, man. sherlock feels like a genuine person and his neurodivergency is not shied away from or done for laughs; john plays an actual role and it truly feels like he and sherlock are a good pair; mariana is a fantastic addition who has good chemistry with the both of them and is a fully actualized person… it’s just so good. i’m on episode 20 rn and it’s just so good i love it so much
