Everything about this scene says "These two people will be together until they die" and I still have never been so fond of a fictional relationship as I am of Joan and Sherlock. Truly, elementary was a gift.

they’re so funny im gonna miss them so much

ok so I didn't watch elementary, because modern AU's are just not my thing but I googled how mycroft looks in elementary and he is the most muppet looking gremling of a man. Again I didn't watch the show and maybe he is the most charming and enchanting guy ever, but Watson... Watson WHY?

Elementary goes where no Sherlock Holmes adaptation has ever gone before by asking “what if Watson WASN’T in desperate romantic love with Holmes”

nevermind i'm posting about it here too. obviously disclaimer: you do you. i can't (!! and shouldn't try to !!) stop you from shipping things that i personally dislike.

with that out of the way.

oh my god i hate joan watson x sherlock holmes. did you watch the same show i did. did you watch the same fucking show.

they are platonic. they aren't even queer platonic they are so fucking platonic. i love them. i love them for being what would EASILY be set up as a heterosexual relationship and is instead a friendship.

i love them for this. i love that they have no romantic / sexual chemistry. i love that they say "we're too people who love each other" and mean as best friends. i love that they are each other's worlds and yet are still just friends.

it means so much to me that the writers *didn't* make watson a woman *specifically* for the romance plot. they made her a woman because why the fuck not.

now don't get me wrong. i love a good watson x holmes. just. NOT elementary watson. of all the watsons i've seen, she has the LEAST chemistry with holmes and i LOVE THAT.

also aro joan watson real. to me.

golden retriever x black cat: variations of my favorite ship dynamic

got to thinking about how most of the ships i have are some version of this dynamic. like there's...

blonde & brunette: the classic (John Watson & Sherlock Holmes, BBC Sherlock)

sunshine & grump: golden retriever character is always looking on the bright side, while black cat character is always brooding (reader & Loki, MCU)

big & small: significant size difference between the golden retriever character and black cat character (Brick x Mordecai, Borderlands)

tired & feral: golden retriever character is constantly dragging black cat character out of trouble (Bucky Barnes x pre-serum!Steve Rogers, MCU)

loyal (affectionate) & loyal (aloof): golden retriever character gives comforting hugs, black cat character dotes from a distance (Joan Watson x Sherlock Holmes, Elementary)

hyperactive & calm: golden retriever character needs to stay busy, black cat character prefers contemplating (Raleigh Becket & Mako Mori, Pacific Rim)

goofball & stoic: golden retriever character is always up to mischief, black cat character merely puts up with their hijinks (Tendo Choi x Yancy Becket, Pacific Rim)

i'm sure i've forgotten a bunch so feel free to add your own!

[taylorkellyreporting]

i love their friendship and i have no idea if they ever catch feelings but this seems very intentional 😵‍💫 sherlock went on and on about how he and joan are partners then they throw this in the same episode and i’m not supposed to think it means something?
