#sherlock transcripts

I'm just curious on where the big schlong John thing ever started from lmao. Have a nice day (⁠~⁠‾⁠▿⁠‾⁠)⁠~♡

Hey Nonny!!

ACTUALLY, it was sort of joked about pre-S3 because of the way Martin carries John's character, but it's the show itself that actually confirmed it, in HLV:

SHERLOCK: Not bad. BILL (still looking at John): An’ I further deduce ... (Sherlock raises his eyebrows, and he and John exchange a brief glance.) BILL: ... you’ve only started recently, because you’ve got a bit of chafing. (John looks down his body.) SHERLOCK: No – he’s always walked like that. Remind me – what’s your name again?

[...]

JOHN: Er, I ... right. I should probably tell you ... (The man reaches into John’s jacket pocket and takes out Bill’s flick-knife.) JOHN: Okay, I ... (he points to the knife) ... That. (The man pulls John’s jacket open.) JOHN: And ... (The man stands up, holding the tyre lever he has just taken from John’s jeans and looking at him sternly. Sherlock looks startled. John steps closer to the man and speaks confidentially.) JOHN: Doesn’t mean I’m not pleased to see you. (The man does not look amused.) [x]

If you don't understand the context... basically John is SO used to having something large between his legs that him walking around and kicking ass for the first 20 minutes with a HUGE assed tire iron down his pants is NOTHING to this man. It's subtly implying he's used to carrying around a large and heavy package up front.

And how do we know that it’s not implying that John’s junk is small enough to fit a tire iron in his pants? Because of the “set-up and payoff” nature of these two lines within minutes of each other in the episode. There’s a reason I included the first chunk: Sherlock establishes to the audience that John ALWAYS walks “like that”, BEFORE we – and he – find out about the tire iron he’s been carrying around. This sets the precedent that John ALWAYS walks “like he’s chafing” but Sherlock deduces it’s because he has a giant dong.

This is immediately paid off with the big reveal that John has not only been carrying around his junk, but also a huge-assed tire iron too WHILE being a BAMF, and in turn surprising Sherlock because, “holy hell, wow that’s hot”. Sherlock was turned on, I like to think, LOL.

You can read more posts on my John’s Giant Junk (Masterpost) which has many fine voices in the fandom going into SERIOUS analysis about... John. Yes.

So, the TL;DR of it is that it's canon John has a giant dong, and Sherlock misjudged just how big it was and was shocked.

Where????

Hey Nonny!

Ah, the only one I know of is Ariane's transcripts, and I think pieces of the official transcripts are available in The Sherlock Chronicles, but I do have the book and there's not many.

(referencing this post)

Hey Anon,

Honestly, it doesn’t matter what they ship. Ariane and their team literally sit and transcribe the entire series word for word immediately after the episodes air, WITHOUT SUBS, and double- and triple-check the entire scripts, and that is VERY tedious and it takes a special kind of individual with a lot of patience to do it. So yes, I do trust them, because they put a lot of hard work into ensuring the fandom has scripts that we can search and refer to. I actually think, after the DVD’s are released, they THEN GO BACK and replace any errors in the script with whatever is on the subtitles. There is a disclaimer right at the top of the pages that state that anything not actually in the script is just their own thoughts, and we can take it or leave it. 

I actually think they’re a non-biased viewer of the series; I’ve seen them comment on the Johnlock goggles more than any other one, to be honest.

Hi Lovely!

Actually, as far as I know, no, there is not (I didn’t buy S4 so I can’t double check for you). The extras on the DVD were just a bunch of featurettes. You can read the transcripts here.

Hey Nonny!

Uh, you know what? I’m not really sure. I hear “I know YOU for real” when I listen to it, but Ariane’s transcripts here say, "No, I know you’re for real.”, and I believe they double check these with the subtitles after the DVD is released. Not sure if there’s an official released script for this scene, though and I’m not sure what the subs for the episode say, because I’m too lazy to get up and go to my DVD’s.

But you are right, they both change the meaning quite a bit, both very significant to Sherlock’s relationship with John. 

Hi Nonny!

You know what? I’m rather annoyed at myself because I HAVE seen this and I THOUGHT I reblogged it, but I can’t find it in any of my logical tags, so I’m thinking I may have reblogged it before I had a tagging system in place. URG, which is annoying, isn’t it, Lovely! I’m so sorry. I thought it was in my ‘sherlock transcripts’ tag, but I’m running out of time before work to look through it all D:
