Please SOMEBODY make it happen!!!!

[iamred-iamyellow]

you know what PISSES me off? when people say “omg people can’t people have platonic love? stop making everything romantic” ONLY when it’s wlw media. i NEVER hear this bullshit about mlm and especially not about straight pairings. strong female relationships have been portrayed as platonic for far too long and i’m sick of it

stop trying to brand your homophobia in the name of “platonic love” especially when you don’t give a shit about aro and ace representation

if you really wanted other forms of love to be celebrated, do that without attacking sapphic joy and harmless wlw ships

sometimes, i forget that people ship sherlock holmes with characters other than watson. genuinely startles me

Thinking about the Baker Street Irregulars and Holmes shaking hands with a baby.

Thinking about Watson joining in the little girl's laughter in The Yellow Face.

Thinking about how Holmes gives "paternal advice" to the young couple in The Noble Bachelor.

Thinking about how they're both good with kids and Holmes sees himself in a fatherly role to the younger people he's helping.

Thinking about Watson seeing Holmes being good with kids.

Thinking about how maybe one of the reasons Watson proposed to Mary Morstan, a woman with a lot of similarities to Holmes, after less than a week of knowing her is because maybe he really wanted to have kids -- and he couldn't conceive of how that would be possible with another man.

‘“What is the meaning of it, Watson?” Said Holmes, solemnly, as he laid down the paper. “What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our universe is ruled by chance…”’

This monologue always breaks my heart. He sounds so resigned and sad.

I wonder if that’s part of what drives him, that he knows that even if he can’t prevent the cycle of violence, maybe he can at least bring it to some closure.

Sometimes with f/f pairings in fics when it’s a side pairing, it does kinda feel like the author just paired them together for the symmetry of everyone dating, but with Gwen x MJ it never feels like that to me and I love it

Like on one hand I can’t imagine anyone not liking MJ, she’s attractive, sweet, supportive, just a very charismatic person who draws you in, and then Gwen, who’s also a fun, charismatic person, shares a lot of similarities with Peter, so you can easily make the argument that she’s MJ’s type, so it really does feel like they’d naturally be drawn to each other

Did this back in ‘21 and was disappointed in how this turned out but my lil cousin saw it the other day and loved it so I’ll put it out into the aether

so funny how season 1-3 of bbc sherlock is like: amazing masterpiece flaunting spectacular yes slow burn homoerotic platonic romance comedy drama detective show

and then s4 bbc sherlock is like: sherlock holmes is a drug addict

johns wife sacrifices herself to save sherlock and now his life has incurred a value and he must constantly try to fill that void of her but he’s suicidal because john will never forgive him for “killing her” even though john had considered cheating on her but sherlock’s sister shows up in disguise as a client and shows him that his life does matter and now him and john have a child to raise so they team up for one last time to visit the holmes’ secret sister in the most top secret penitentiary in the world run by moriarty who is alive but not really and then she traps them in a psychological suicide game with mycroft where they are forced to: murder, open up, make mycroft say “i love you” to his brother and make sherlock say “i love you” to john’s reflection in the window, torturing poor molly hooper. and finally, freeing sherlock’s sister from their traumatising childhood home in her mind and uncovering the buried body of his childhood best friend who she murdered by exposing his deep deep desire to love and be loved (platonically) and once all that is over sherlock and john move back in to 221b together and be co-parents. just as mary’s ghost (and ms. hudson) wanted all along!!!

My favourite thing about ACD Johnlock is that you can essentially just cite the entire existing text as evidence. We don't even need evidence at this point, it's just there. It's a love story. The only people we have to convince are the people who haven't read them.
