Epic rant ahead. In response to your comment on my post about jlockers in our tag @chinchillanna

I’d say something scathing cause this post was meant for the wankers but if you’ve never done it don’t take unnecessary offence. You don’t know how irritating it is from this side of the fandom. As for the rest, I’d say it’s a matter of difference in opinion of ships.

Unhealthy?- dont even open that bag of worms i dont even need to answer it.

One sided relationship? - I don’t thinks mutually caring for the other could be called one sided. we’ve had gradual growth in their friendship throughout the series please progress as the episodes do

hating himself for lying to her - it was definitely sherlock coming to terms with his feelings for Molly. First one was forced he doesn’t like being manipulated under duress but the second one was genuine he looks torn(he doesn’t look like he’s hating himself)that he had to say out loud the words he didn’t want to acknowledge. Though I’d give you this, this scene does depend on the vantage point of the viewer (aka. Shipper in this case) We’ve spent as much time on our ship as you’ve done on yours. Our assumptions/hc are just as valid as yours are. So don’t go around disregarding something that has more context than your subtext.

weak-dependent? - Molly? Are you serious?She is probably the sanest and the most level headed person on the show albeit with a soft spot for the detective but please don’t even say she isn’t strong?! Maybe it’s just me but Irrevocably loving someone doesn’t make you simpering or weak. Honestly it’s a quality I’ve always admired. Sort of like parental affection, I’d say genuine selfless unconditional love is something we’re always shortchanged in life. Its so easy to be selfish and just as difficult to be selfless and giving. And that’s only an inkling of a reason why I’ve always loved Molly. She is so much more than that. You say she deserves better- and yes she does - from you and everyone who claims she deserves better and then look down at her for exhibiting a human frailty which she transformed into an quiet integral strength - a vulnerability too (her boon and bane) that she is so well known for. Do you even realise how rare people like Molly IRL are? The unquestioning pillars of support without the assurance of it being a familial obligation? Hint : Very.

Damn right we will rejoice. Just like jlock did with the hug and adl0ck did with TLD.You know why? Because we love her for what she is,exactly how she is . Without judgement. She deserves the best because she is the best of people. I doubt anyone shipped sherlolly hard in s1 cos let’s be honest sherlock was a dick and molly needed to stop being mousey and frankly it always felt like infatuation nothing deeper that it later became. They needed personal growth which they got and you can’t possibly associate the people/relationship that used to be uptil this episode. They’ve changed. They’re interactions have evolved. Sherlock’s getting better with people too. And believe me nothing but the best for Molly. She is that sort of character. Unfortunately the writers only ever write her in the script in lieu of her affection of sherlock so if pansyboy is what makes her happy THEN pansyboy it is. take that into consideration too.

So no it wasn’t ‘fake’ or ‘forced’ in my opinion. I’m not saying it was the love confession I hoped for(I’d rather have it without the theatrics ) but it was certainly apt considering the shows premise of sentimental entanglement. Just the right amount of angst

So instead of dissing a ship on a post meant to call out people disregarding common courtesy (well hello exhibit A) you should probably- I honestly have nothing nice to say.

My ship is just as awesome as yours. My ship is just as ridiculous as yours. My ship is just as canon as yours(I might be biased but an I Love You does mean a lot more than a hug)(the hug - JL being my BrOtp I always saw that scene as a friend consoling a grieving friend…but as a shipper you might have perceived it in an entire different context.) See difference in opinions between different ship shippers. Although bashing and demeaning other ships because you were disappointed it didnt go your way is totally uncalled for.

P.S : It’s pretty obvious in the fandom that MoffTiss can’t write a female char a decent script without a dark/dead undertone to it. So honestly nobody had high hopes for proper female representation on the script. Its certainly better than the previous seasons but only marginally . In their defense they did promise a great crime drama starring SH and JW which they more than just delivered on. Canon Molly and Sherlolly isn’t as superficial and one dimensional as you think they are. They are more than just a CoolBoy/ShyGirl stereotype.Don’t dump your script-al(?) woes on the ship. Its just a fictional show and a fictional ship. Take it with a pinch of salt.Byeee
