Vulcan Thoughts

Joan and Sherlock’s story is a love story. Full stop. It’s not romantic, and it doesn’t need to be. What this show did was tell a story about two people who belong together and want to take care of each other and be there for each other but aren’t in (and don’t want to be in) a romantic relationship. And I think if anyone has issues with it being ‘too much/not enough like a romance,’ or feel like the show needs to make a decision on whether it’s a friendship or a romance, that they should question their assumptions about relationships and what they can and should be. Platonic soulmates can exist. Loving partnerships can exist in myriad ways, and Sherlock and Joan’s is one that we just don’t happen to see at all on TV, but that lack of representation makes it no less valid or important.

And that’s when Sherlock knew he wanted Irene

but really, he’d totally ask her out of the random, in the most unromantic or casual moment, and she would say yes laughing and it would be perfect.

You also have these baby teenage mutant ninja turtles to protect you.

Irene: *flips her hair* I’m sitting here with you, you’ve clearly been blessed.

and then there’s sherlock’s head, as full of secrets and as heavily guarded as any booby-trapped safe, and yet irene infiltrates his palace and comes and goes as she pleases. it irritates him to no end, but he knows that she is only there because he allows her to.
