#bbc john

John is in no way, shape or form golden retriever coded. He's a german shepherd, and I'll tell you more, he's a K9 to be more precise, because of his stance, his past, his mannerism. John isn't full of energy, all sunshine and rainbows, he's rigid, reserved and short-tempered.

green sticky notes = john

yellow sticky notes = sherlock

2.1

"A date, where two people who like each other go out and have fun", "That's what I was suggesting"... it being unclear whether sherlock is under the impressino that the night at the circus as a date for him and john (with sarah tagging along).

JOHN NOT HELPING THE MATTER WITH HIS RESPONSE

2.2

IT STILL BEING UNCLEAR WHETHER SHERLOCK IS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT IS A DATE BETWEEN HIM AND JOHN

2.3

Sherlock pretending to cry for a case. John assuming Sherlock being vulnerable is ingenuine and to illicit a response. Sherlock ironic and flirty and turning everything into a dark joke. at the same time, i'm convinced on some level sherlock meant what he wrote. he doesn't really want john to think that he is a sociopath.

2.4

speaking of sherlock's worry of how john thinks about him in these episodes...HEY I DID solve the case John. Please don't think I'm evil or heartless. I don't want to disapoint you when I inevitably fail. I'm not as good as you think I am.

ALSO I guess they DO FUCKING COMMUNICATE about this shit - but it's through these notes in john's case files. WHY IS THIS NOT AN IN PERSON CONVERSATION. MY FUCKED UP BELOVEDS

2.5

FLIRT. (sexually coded on like 3 levels)

ALSO HOW ON JOHN'S BLOG HE TALKS ABOUT HAVING TO TAKE AWHILE TO "RECOVER" FROM THE EXPERIENCE AT THE POOL. BRO IS LYING ON THAT DAMN BLOG HE LOVED THAT SHIT. and this note is so intimate.

2.6

sherlock covering up the butt (of a woman he knows john found attractive) with a note telling john he feels like eating today (SOMETHING HE KNOWS JOHN WANTS AND WILL MAKE HIM HAPPY BECAUSE JOHN BEGS THAT MAN TO EAT). "Could you buy some?" Asking John, a man who LOVES to be of service - to get FOOD SHERLOCK WILL ACTUALLY EAT.

aka... JAWN GIVE ME ATTENTION PLSSSSSSSSS. sherlock is such a manipulative little bitch.

FOOD=SEX METAPHOR SAVE ME NOW

2.7

FLIRTTTTTTTTTTTTT. JOHN APPLYING SHERLOCK'S MAKEUP. THAT MAN COULD HAVE DONE IT HIS DAMN SELF. HE'S A MASTER OF DAMN DISGUISE.

SHERLOCK BEING COMPLETELY NAKED UNDER HIS COAT. JOHN BEING THE ONE TO PUT HIM TO BED. (john being jealous af)

2.8

john never doubting sherlock (affirmation for praise kink sherlock)

2.9

Sherlock not needing to impress Irene - THEN WHO WAS HE TRYING TO IMPRESS. "breakneck speed" *glances at john* "no doubt having a [john] to impress helped". SHERLOCK DID NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT IMPRESSING IRENE. and he's SAYING THIS to john.

Three John Watson adaptations placed in one room. One of these things are not like the other
