#sherlock headcanons

[inevitably-johnlocked]

What is a favorite fandom headcanon for you?

One of mine is that John is a social chameleon, he can charm people from the streets to the palace and is really only not acting when he's with Sherlock.

*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer within a certain amount of time or at all.*

Hi Lovely!

OH GOSH, mine is that John ALWAYS makes the Tea and Loves Jam. There's something so wholesome about both of them. The prior is ABSOLUTELY not true – Sherlock and Hudders are the only ones shown in the series making tea ever – and the latter is just... a silly headcanon that so sweet and adorable and just makes for some silly fun moments in Fanfics.

Oh and that they always order Chinese. EVERY single time I read a fic and they order takeout, I CRAVE Chinese food LOL.

Sherlock feeling guilty about ruining his college principal’s life and comparing it to potentially ruining Victor’s father’s life made me think about PTSD

Which is interesting because in the first episode when he first met John and deduced John having it, he promptly said he didn’t have it

But despite his amazing intellectual abilities, Sherlock is still human, and it’s been proven he can be wrong, plus considering the countless amounts of intense traumatic situations he’s undoubtedly been through, the unwanted memories/hinted trauma blocking and unpleasant flashbacks, his severe anxiety/distress and guilt

What if he does have PTSD

Or am I looking too deep into it

[lxvenderjewel]

have some s&co picrews for ur troubles

i don't like how john came out but then again i never like how i do john so

molly hooper as your girlfriend headcanon

can you imagine having molly as your girlfriend? she gotta be like- okay. hold on. *inhales deeply*

she would always ask how you're doing at the beginning of your conversation. but ask again a bit into it, to know how you're *actually* doing

she will make you coffee exactly the way you like it, because she remembers so well from your first date at a coffeehouse

she will hold your hand, her thumb slowly carassing the back of your hand and encourage you about every little project you wanna do

she will play soft, melodic songs (most of them are about love) and she will sway her hips ever so slightly and sing along quietly when she thinks noone can hear her

but you hear her at some point and when you ask her to sing along with you she looks at the floor and blushes. but because you smile at her and squeeze her hand she does so hesitantly, growing bolder by each chorus and in the end you're both dancing crazily and scream-singing to taylor swift or adele or queen

she ALWAYS gives you hugs when she thinks you need one, without you ever having to ask her (partly because she needs them herself)

in the mornings she will look at you with so much softness in her eyes and her fingertips trace your facial features and you melt right into it every single time

she will smile at you and it will be the sunrise and you'll be thinking "gosh she is a keeper"

and she is so soft 90% of the time but HELL she can be fierce as FUCK when someone dares to mess with you

she loves dresses. but feels self conscious in them. you tell her every time that she looks absolutely stunning in them. and every time she believes you a little more. she wears dresses more often now and at some point actually feels confident in them. and when she walks down the aisle she's blushing at all the attention, but she walks: With confidence and a smile on her face. and when she says "yes" you are convinced you married god herself.

she's also probably into BDSM so that would be fun

so yeah. anygays. kinda want her to be my girlfriend now :P

Tim Drake has a hatred for Sherlock Holmes, has he ever read the books? No but his dad used to insultingly call him Sherlock as a kid when he was being too nosy or curious and now even when people say it as a compliment it just irks him

Jason being the resident classic literature nerd is dead set on at least having Tim read the books so he can either A. Actually like the books and accept that Sherlock is actually a pretty cool guy to be compared too, or B. Give actual tasteful criticism and insults based on the contents of the book

Jason could care less which happens he’s just tired of Tim ranting about his hatred for Sherlock despite not knowing a thing about Sherlock

——

Tim: Sherlock this, Sherlock that, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that stupid hat

Jason: The hat really isn’t even mentioned in the books, You’d know if you read them

Tim: I’m not reading them, they really can’t be that good in fact Sherlock was so bad even his literal creator wanted nothing to do with him

Jason: Your dad wanted nothing to do with you and you’re still a pretty good detective

*Cue Dick yelling at Jason cause “that wasn’t nice”

[cthulhum]

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

[sandwormb]

Joking with my dad in the car led me to the idea that every time Holmes has his trademark “sudden contemplative silences,” he’s actually just having a seizure from chronic lack of sleep and cocaine abuse

[cardinalcheerio]

I have a headcannon that at some point in his early robin days, Jason decided he wanted to be like Alfred and committed to drinking tea, using British slang and the accent while being robin.

This obviously confused the rogues a lot.

Fighting Mr. Freeze:

Jason: aye, what in the bloody hell do you think your doin? (Horrible British and gotham accent mix)

Freeze: I am- wait. Robin? Are you ok?

Bats: it's a phase. Just ignore it.

Freeze: keep forgetting he's a kid... anyways-

[buckingham-ashtray]

No matter how it always ALWAYS seems like John Watson and Sherlock Holmes are love at first sight that’s never the entire truth because they never “fall” in love because they have been in love for one hundred and thirty seven years and they are in love in every universe so no matter when or where or how they meet they will always fall in love with each other all over again because their love is carved into Fate since the start of creation just as firmly as Olympus Mons stands on Mars because their love runs and fills all the arteries and veins and vessels mapping every inch of their bodies and bleeds through every universe into them because Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are destined to be in love CAN’T YOU SEE

[inevitably-johnlocked]

This is fun headcanon that I like to think about to ignore eurus existence. The "secret sister" that Sherlock and Mycroft have is Anthea. After how many years by Mycroft side, she is like family to them or just protective or whatever Holmes version of sibling love is.

ASDFADSFASD Yes. I like this reality.

Headcanon accepted hahahah

PERFECT.

Some Sherlock (and Co) headcanons me and my partner came up with

Aroace Sherlock in queer platonic relationship with John

John being 99.8% cishet yet still agrees to be Sherlock’s queer platonic partner and any future love interest of Watson’s can flip off if she has a problem with it cause they’re a package deal buy one Watson get one Sherlock free

Sherlock introducing John as his partner and internally giggling because it can mean 2 things

(Just thought of this one as I wrote the above, polyamorous qpp between John, Sherlock AND Mariana)

Sherlock being good at being aware of the world but not himself, John learns Sherlock’s stressed signs and notices them before Sherlock does himself so he becomes extra doting and patient

Sherlock is clingy, but doesn’t like to admit to it (he DOES however follow and hang John around like a cat that loves its owner, especially when he’s highly stressed)

Sherlock has looong curly-ish hair and gets his hair combed/brushed and braided by John and Mariana because he’s not very good at being consistent with hair care, he thinks it’s trivial and just throws it into a bun but won’t cut his hair bc sensory issues

Monthly Spa day for Sherlock, Mariana and Watson and Sherlock secretly loves when Mariana paints his nails

Sherlock aggressively dances while playing his violin change our minds

Yes yes Holmes uses his talent for deduction to catch criminals but have you considered: the gifts so carefully considered they barely register as gifts. Watson, who has no family and few friends, doesn’t celebrate his birthday, hardly remembers it himself, and has certainly never told Holmes the date. And yet every year on that day they end up in a pleasant part of the country on business, with a little spare time to fish or stroll through the woods or eat a particularly good meal at the local inn. Every year Holmes gives Watson a small, oblique word of praise that sits in his mind like a warm ember. And every year Watson falls asleep thinking one year older, and it was quite a nice day.

ok so im really normal about this interpretation of sherlock i swear

had this idea that he just lets his hair grow really long because to get it cut anywhere is sensory hell. eventually it just gets so long the itchiness gets too much and triggers a meltdown and he cuts it all off and now its super curly because its short again. After this john learns how to cut hair..

the whole podcast honestly just gets a lot of the experience correct. and as much as i like johnlock i do really hc these two as platonically married in this pod, aroace sherlock will just always be my fav shit. i could honestly ramble about my hcs for various sherlock media all day lol

anyway listen to this podcast plzplzplz

[kanroji-san]

This is most popular scene

But with Y/n

:) Happy New Year Everyone!!!

[i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end]

Obsessed with the headcanon that Sherlock Holmes only very rarely or even never says "I love you".* But Watson knows him, and he knows. It does not matter. He does not need to say it.

Bonus points if Watson does say it and it's just completely okay that Holmes can't say it back. He has his ways to show it, and Watson trusts him. I just don't think that Holmes - even at the best of times and comfortable in/with a relationship - would/could be very vocal about his feelings.

*This goes for both romantic and platonic interpretations of their relationship.

I just love how broadchurch (unintentionally) made an autistic-coded detective, but instead of going the sherlock route they made him just. a guy. he’s not special in any way, he’s not a savant, he’s just kinda There and Traumatized About It the entire time.

like alec hardy wants one thing in life and it’s to do his job, but he’s also constantly faced with the unfortunate reality that his job Sucks. he’s also actively dying half the time. and that’s it that’s his character.

also he’s not a twink like most autistic coded savants in media, and I may not be a middle aged dad but that’s the kind of representation I can get behind
