from emo to angel

I’m 100% serious. Here are the canonical facts we have about his feelings on sex/romance:

- He says multiple times that he is not interested in women. When Watson comments on the attractiveness of a woman, Holmes responds that he “didn’t notice”.

- He is uninterested in marriage and remains a bachelor his entire life, and never expresses any regret or sadness over this.

- He states that he has “never loved” (in this context it is implied that he is specifically talking about romantic love.) He repeatedly expresses disdain for romance in general.

That’s IT. That is ALL the canonical information we have about his sexuality. We know that he is capable of love in some sense, and Watson even explicitly says that Holmes loves him. But we never see any evidence that he has romantic feelings for women.

Any interpretation of Holmes as a heterosexual man directly contradicts all of the evidence we have about his sexuality. It assumes that everything he or Watson have ever said about his feelings on romance is a lie. The only interpretations of him that actually fit with all the facts are if he’s aroace, gay, or some combination thereof.

dan is gorgeous in that he is exactly what you expect. he looks like dan and walks like dan and in the preshows/on stage talks like dan. in m&gs he's a little bit warmer and softer/more gentle because he puts on his "hello" voice but you see him and you're like "yeah that's my best friend dan howell" and of course dan howell is hot
