Johnlock concept: Sherlock gets tipsy/drunk 02

Sherlock's first experience of drunkenness in front of John would be nothing short of the social experiment of the year.

It starts out innocently enough, Sherlock dismissing alcohol as a "pointless social lubricant". Insisting it won't affect him because his "metabolism is far too advanced." A few glasses of wine later, he's half-draped over the armchair, lecturing John on the "intellectual merits of bees."

Sherlock: John, do you ever stop and think about bees? The perfect little systems they have. Communal, focused, productive. Unlike humans. Unlike me... mostly you, though.

At some point, John realizes Sherlock’s actually slurring, but Sherlock refuses to admit it.

Sherlock: I’m not drunk, John. I’m..re-evaluating my diction. You should try it, ‘diction,’ fascinating word... dic-tion.

He stumbles on his own feet mid-sentence.

Sherlock attempts to analyze John’s facial expressions

Sherlock: You’re frowning, and that means you’re... either tired, or hungry, or... worried I’m about to fall again. Unnecessary concern, John. My balance is fine.

Seconds later, Sherlock nearly knocks over a lamp.

John’s trying to get him to stop talking about everything and nothing at once, but Sherlock is now recounting every minor injustice from their cases in the past year. Including Lestrade "insulting his coat" and how Molly once “offered him average coffee.”

Mid-rant, Sherlock suddenly pauses, swaying slightly, and looks at John.

Sherlock: You know, John... I used to think I could do this whole detective thing on my own. But that was before you. I mean, I was great before you. But now... I’m...exce..exceptional.”

Johns trying not to choke on his tea with that one

Eventually, Sherlock begins confessing that John has a very "soothing aura."

Sherlock: John, you’re like... a very calm... tree. Tall, steady, good to lean on.

John, smirking: A tree, Sherlock?

Sherlock, dead serious: Yes. Quite.

Round 1 am, Sherlock begins a grand speech about the failures of the British government, which somehow ends in a tearful realization that he really likes John’s jumpers.

Sherlock: John, you don’t understand, I envy your knitwear. It’s so... reliable. Like you.

By the end of the night, John gets Sherlock into bed, but not before Sherlock decides to muse about how “annoyingly decent” John is.

Sherlock: You’re... you’re a very difficult man to ignore, John Watson. Always here, always... there. What’s it like, to be so... solid?

John just sighs, pats Sherlock on the head, and says, Go to sleep, you git.

The next morning, Sherlock wakes up and absolutely denies everything.

Sherlock: I did not discuss the intricacies of your knitwear, John. You must be mistaken.

John: Sherlock, you called me a tree.

Sherlock, frowning: I would never compare you to vegetation. That’s preposterous

[id from alt text: digital drawing of TV series' version of Portland Row, 35 from a low angle looking up. it is nighttime, sky is heavy with clouds. on the right side there's a row of residential buildings down Portland Row, number 35 is closest to the viewer. the center piece of picture is a ghost-lamp on the side of pavement. it casts a bright-green neon light on the street and houses. there are three silhouettes downt the street resembling main characters of Lockwood and Co./end id]

the light will be on for when you come back

Let's all go feral over light symbolism! <3

I noticed that in the Case of the Creeping Forest, we have Crystal & Charles with their own lantern in the forest.

Edwin and Monty with their own lantern.

Neither of those lanterns is the same as the one that Edwin gave to Charles when they met.

The Cat King extinguishes Monty's flame just before lighting his own Chandelier and outing Monty to Edwin, hoping it will garner favor for himself in Edwin's eyes.

When Charles descends into Hell, he doesn't have the lantern in hand yet. He pulls it out of his Bag-of-Tricks in the darkness of the Doll House.

As the fandom has already pointed out, the lantern that Edwin gave Charles when he was dying is the same lantern Charles brings into Hell to save Edwin.

Anyway, hope y'all were having a good day. Let's share all our theories with the class <3

Lockwood and Co.'s first and last episode both starting with a shot of a ghost lamp is something so special to me.

I got a little carried away there But there are some more things I want to talk about. 

(Let's not all act surprised at once)

Like, this is the first time THIS version of Watanuki (post Memory Loss) is seeing his (probable?) parents’ faces. He can’t remember what they looked like or much about them, so THIS will be his first formative moment actually ever seeing them. 

I also quite like the look of shock on Lava Lamp’s face. UNDERSTANDABLE. He’s been going through quite a lot of Events all at once, and now suddenly time is collapsing, his (probable) parents are out of their jam jar prison looking the same age as him, and also his brother/twin/clone/other self has just shown up unannounced as they all hang out in the void. I would be shocked too!

Meanwhile, some other minor details! Their mother(?) looks at Watanuki with so much instant affection that I have no doubt that these probably are their parents, even if Clamp haven’t said the words “These are their parents” just yet. There’s such a gentle relief and unfiltered joy in her gaze as she looks to Watanuki - they had hoped for him to continue to exist, and here she can finally see that the wish came true. 

Also. Complete side note, but the more I try to describe who I'm talking about the more I realise there is a hilarious number of Syaorans and Sakuras on this page. 

Like, how many Syaorans are there? Two? NOPE sorry there are three Syaorans here, and maybe two Sakuras - but one of the Sakuras is actually the combination of two different Sakuras at once. And depending on Time shenanigans, the number of Sakuras is actually anywhere between 1 and 4 - but technically 2 for now!

But speaking of Syaoran mathematics let’s also look at the right-most Syaoran’s expression there. Would you say it’s mostly neutral? A little… emotionless? 

An interesting detail wouldn’t you say? 

I’ve lightly suggested it in passing before but now I’m mostly convinced that, actually, yes, Clamp probably would write a timeline where your clone is also your dad.

And there IS space in the timeline for it. Right after Nihon - Syaoran vanishes for an indeterminate amount of time. Enough time to make this all make sense? PERHAPS.

And if that was true then my other leading guess would be that the Super Sakura would be their mother…? Eventually? Which would mean that she’s in this picture twice here.
