while i will always love and appreciate the bisexual dean winchester agenda, i truly believe that if he was raised differently—or maybe if he grew up today instead—that boy would have been gay. like his love for women in a romantic/sexual context was always such a caricature and was continuously used as a symbol of masculinity that played against the roles assigned to him by his father growing up for the sake of suppressing any queerness he might exhibit. now whether that suppression was purposely written into his character or was a reaction to the character they had created, i’m not sure, but it’s there regardless.

i don’t mean to dismiss the love he felt for cassie or lisa, but particularly with lisa, i’m not sure he was ever in love with her, despite the fact that he did care for both her and ben. i get so frustrated watching the end of s5 because him going to her house and his perfect “apple pie life” being with her in suburbia genuinely came out of nowhere and i’ve never understood a) why it had to happen, and b) why it had to be lisa. but thinking about it in this sense, she was the closest thing he had in his life to everything he was raised to believe he should want by one john winchester, who lost his perfect wife, perfect family, perfect apple pie life and sent all of them down this path in the first place. so of course to dean, his happy ending would be with someone like lisa. but that’s the important part. someone like lisa, not lisa herself. he may have had love for her and he may have been able to picture a life with her, but it wasn’t necessarily because she was everything he wanted; she was a symbol of the things that tore his family apart and so to be with her felt like he was finally able to put some of it back together. and that makes me so sad for him because all of that is a result of the sense of responsibility ingrained in him growing up by john, not something he wanted for himself.

but back to his general attitude towards women, there was an excellent post that said he only acts like the typical womanizer he has a reputation for being around women deemed “stereotypical” by the misogynistic perspective. otherwise, he tends to take on a fairly brotherly role; he doesn’t tend to pursue any women he can “take seriously,” and is more intimidated or impressed by them than anything else. with the exception of cassie (which was pre-series and we never got full context for in the first place), he only ever pursued women with whom he would have a definitive ending—by that i mean women who he knows he’ll never see again or who would have a clearly defined role during the time they’re together that wouldn’t threaten the status quo. and yes these could also be the traits of a commitment-phobe or someone chronically on the move, but for one, sam doesn’t tend to do the same thing (see ruby, amelia, and eileen), and for two, given the things i mentioned already, it makes me consider it more of a result of him not actually being interested in women romantically.

his reaction to women when not purposely used as the butt of a joke or to perpetuate the “womanizer dean winchester” agenda is often so innately fraternal, caring in a way that doesn’t have any expectations behind it. and when there is a romantic context, so much of the relationship can be attributed to the way john raised him and the beliefs he has as a direct result; it’s never simply been built on the foundation of love.

every time he is dismissed as this macho het guy, it also dismisses so much of what makes him a wonderful character, and yes a lot of that is his queerness. so in a world where he didn’t grow up with roles and responsibilities that shaped him into someone he knew his dad hated and forced him to create this character for himself in order to survive? i think he would have been gay and he would have been okay with that.

Me listening to The Cardboard Box ep.

Sherlock: We have to pretend to be Swinger Couple!

Me: omg the fanfics are coming true-

John: there's one problem with that.

Me: Bitch pls, what is it. Are you gonna say your not gay-

John to Sherlock: Your autistic af and cant pick up on social cues.

Me, an autistic that sucks at social cues: Damn, foiled by autism again.

(P.s.) but still the fact that John didn't seem to mind the fact that he'd had to pretend to be Sherlock's lover is.... interesting.

2012 Tumblr would be going crazy if I told them that I was having a class breakdown of a BBC Sherlock episode.

[asoulwithadream]

The Three Students (Part 1) - Sherlock & Co

And, we're back with the commentaries!

This is the adventure that puts an end to the the three-parter streak. Honestly, I'm glad for a more "domestic" and non-dramatic story that focuses especially on Sherlock's character. It gives us breathing space after Moriarty reference after Moriarty reference.

Live Soul Reaction (my on-the-spot commentary)

John Watson, what have you done.

I believe that now is a good time to mention that Jody Jenkins has released a Spotify version (and probably on other sound platforms as well) of 'Mad Prodigy', the Sherlock & Co theme! So if you're missing the classic string-rock every week, here you go.

John Watson and The Adventure of the Artisan's Sausage

"Sherlock Holmes, this UN-person," WOW.

John Watson the annoying man you are.

"Oh let's go to the pub! Wank, wank, wank!" I <3 Mariana

"Is your Sherly sense tingling?"

"Hyperbole or sarcasm?" "Affectionate hyperbole," I love how they've just learnt to co-exist in a way that facilitates Sherlock's social understanding so efficiently.

Professor Somes' voice annoys me a great deal, I fear.

"Don't worry, worry not, seize your frets!" I'm going to use that.

"I will merely emit a faint glow of intrigue…"

"Weeeee… WEEHAYHAY!!! AHHAAHAA!!" John "bit of a slut" Watson everybody

Sherlock's speaking anxiety scattered around the episode was a very nice touch and I just really—I don't know, think it spoke to his character.

Most Sherlock Holmes adaptations I've seen tend to place their Final Problem towards the mid point of the series (or even a bit earlier) - it's also in my opinion the best way of going about it, so you have time enough for the characters to adjust after the reunion but they know each other well enough for the events of Fina to be devastating.

Sherlock & Co is done with 20 of the adventures. How many are there? Fifty-something? Almost sixty? Let's say we'll be entering mid-point territory after the 25th story.

So let's pretend for a moment that we have 5 more stories until The Final Problem. Ok.

Estimating an adventure at 3 episodes each, that would mean little over 3 months - maybe 3 and a half? Starting, of course, from the end of Sign of Four, which will be somewhere in December.

So let's say 3, maybe 4 months into 2025. That would be, what? Late march, early april?

Early april?

John having to tell the listeners that Sherlock is dead, in early april?

Quick calendar search reveals what I was praying it would - the 1st of april will be on a Tuesday next year.

So what I'm saying

What I'm saying is Sherlock &Co has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing

「constellations and confessions 」

5pg.

Pls ignore any inconsistencies or mistakes. I had two technical difficulties while making this alongside a pulled shoulder muscle 🫠

[jay-wasreblogging]

I thought that when they started to talk about Sherlock's failing grades, Victor would casually mention that Sherlock doesn't know about the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System

He's gone

The Dancing Men Part 3 was insane! It was so insane that it slapped me into making art again for a moment!

Anyway I just finished my designs for these pals when this episode came out so I was able to make this!

My favourite reaction images. I have so few chances to use them that I thought I would inflict them on you my dear Tumblr.
