JOHN WATSON DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

[ID: gifs from the Granada Sherlock Holmes series. Watson (Hardwicke) says, “Cockfighting is forbidden by law.” Holmes smiles, holding a cigarette in one hand, then says seriously, “Many things are forbidden by law.” End ID]

in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

like it or not, this is what real television looks like [sherlock magnifying something with his butt totally in the air and then promptly vomiting on someone’s shoes)

remember when they had Sherlock stand next to a sign that said ‘anus arse’

i started watching sherlock 2010 and i finally understand you guys what the fuck they’re totally in love
