johnlock littering the topsoil

as much as I hate the term “tumblr veteran,” I am one, so I made a uquiz about it. let me assign you an OTP. I’m so sorry.

i’m enjoying going through the tags and following the funniest people

so does the uk falling apart mean that johnlock is about to go canon or is that just for american politics

Full offense but sometimes fandom just totally make up the characterization of a character and then complain when that isn’t canon

Also full offense but sometimes fandom makes up characterization of a character and then guilt trips and shames any fan that doesn’t agree with that specific perspective in all fanon works.

Big supernatural even in 2020. Big doctor who news in 2021. I really think it’s best we all prepare for next year and the inevitable.

OR… Lestrade isn’t a vampire, but there’s been generations of Lestrades, and they all have to deal with this guy

the latest one isn’t even a cop she works nights at the 7-11 and Sherlock keeps coming in at 2am to slam two gallons of Monster Energy and ask her what what the fuck an “amogus” is (it’s case related) and tell her how much better she is at lateral thinking than her tragically straightforward ancestor and also is her girlfriend still going to school to be a defense attorney, how’s she handling the workload

Yes the Sherlock Holmes books exist and whenever they’re brought up Watson gets very upset that this dude stole his writing and considers him his archnemesis despite the fact that Doyle is a totally normal human and dead as hell

imagine Watson’s frothing rage at the Doyle estate insisting Holmes can never be shown having emotions. like he didn’t personally watch Sherlock weep during the moon landing.

Every so often, I remember that like 80% of Tumblr (myself included) was completely enraptured by a show where the big twist was that the main character forgot his childhood friend was murdered by his sister, and for some reason only remembers his childhood friend ever existing as a dog.

And in that same episode it’s revealed that the same sister…..like…..hypnotized (?) the main character’s arch rival into hating him by, like, staring at him for a few minutes.

In our collective defense, this is when we all decided “hey we should probably stop watching Sherlock”

Wait What?

I am so grateful to this post for vindicating my decision never to watch s4

NO

Deleting my dating apps because I want to meet someone the old fashioned way (a mutual acquaintance introduces us because we both need a flatmate and eventually we grow close through their unique occupation as a consulting detective and I become their personal biographer)

people describing BBC Sherlock like ‘a normal dude meets an extraordinary yet weird person’, meanwhile, John is killing men through windows and screaming in Tesco

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most romantic characters in literary history he takes Watson on dates to the theater and figures out which music is Watson’s favorite and plays it for him on his violin and takes him on walks by the sea and through the park and holds his hand when he’s scared…and still adaptations be like “hmmmmm cold and mean and distant hates everyone and tolerates Watson sometimes” Like sorry that you don’t understand love. Where is the adaptation that exaggerates his compassion and romanticism and affectionate nature instead of exaggerating the same boring “cold and pretty rude man who thinks emotions are stupid” thing that’s been done a million times??? Here’s a Hot Take: making something cynical is not the same as making it deep!!! Let Sherlock Holmes be gentle!!! Let him be gay!!!

YES. Although, I have to say that Howard Holmes pretty much is that adaptation. If you want a Holmes who is light-hearted, affectionate, and full of mischief and humour, then for the love of Doyle watch Howard Holmes <3

YES DO.

Seconding Howard Holmes, and might I also recommend the Soviet Sherlock Holmes series?  It features lots of hugs and Holmes crying along with Watson once he comes back from the dead.  He’s such a nice Holmes, if a bit of a prankster.

YES DAMN IT!!

Here we go again.

Kiss the doctor…
