Thoughts on Joan Watson & Sherlock
anon if u sent me both of these i’m going to need u to pay for my pain.
so. joanlock. JOANLOCK. where the fuck do i even begin. joan watson alone is like. top tier, god tier, i love you mother thank you for raising me. and their relationship is like fucking. perfect. i don’t give a shit about the writing of the show past s1!!!! i don’t care!!!! they are perfect beyond all the shitty writing!!!!! they are beautiful!!!!!! they are perfection!!!!! the fucking softness of everything. the domesticity. how they live together and just like. SOFT.
when i tell you when i first watched season 1 i was fucking blown away like i was crying i was screaming like HE NAMED??? A BEE??????????? AFTER? HER????????? top that. robert doherty has written many shitty storylines, but he sure as hell KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK WITH THIS MOMENT. the roof of the brownstone, the bee watching, the bee naming, start anew playing in the background. quite literally. perfection.
the way that they fucking saved each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she saved his life!!!!!!!!! YOU SAVED MY LIFE JOAN. NOBODY COULD SEE IT BUT YOU!!!!!!!! and how he introduced her to a world that she probably never thought in a million yearssssss that she’d be in. and she’s GOOD at it. and SHE’S HAPPY!!! LIKE SHE DESERVES!!!!! (I’M EMO ABOUT THERE WAS A SPARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
and and and and AND AND AND AND THE FUCKING WAYS THEY SAY I LOVE YOU WITHOUT ACTUALLY SAYING IT QUITE LITERALLY BREAK ME EVERY TIME. these lines are shit you’d never say irl bc who tf talks like that but the way they execute it make it like HURT. I’M IN PAIN. here’s a list of quotes that quite literally come into my home and murder me
i’m better with you, watson. i’m sharper, i’m more focused. difficult to say why exactly. perhaps in time i’ll solve that as well
you have this kind of PULL... LIKE GRAVITY. I’M SO LUCKY THAT I FELL INTO YOUR ORBIT (WHO TF SAYS THIS???????????? FUCKING ART!)
you and i are bound. somehow. (yes i talk about this line 10293801289301928309182 times every day but like LIKE LIKE LIKE CAN’T BE TOPPED??????????????? the SOMEHOW?????? bc he’s perplexed still as to WHY!!!!!! but he knows they ARE FOREVER!!!!!!!)
when sherlock actually DARED TO SAY THE L WORD OUT LOUD???? we’re two people who love each other. always HAVE BEEN. FUCK OFF!!!!!
i’m an emo bitch because they’d never actually said “i love you” even though you KNOW IT and it’s like ALL BETWEEN THE LINES and sherlock has HALF SAID IT BUT JOAN ONLY SAID IT BACK JOKINGLY KINDA BUT LIKE AHHH!!! i can’t be mad at it bc i’m the same. saying i love you irl? disgusting anyways that’s enough on reason 1029301283 why i am in fact joan watson.
now we’re gonna talk about the lead up to The Hug. bc i’m still an emo bitch. FIRST OF ALL, M!!!!!!!!! THAT FUCKING EPISODE. when she’s like. i think he needs comforting and i want to help him and normally i’d hug the person but that’s not what we are and that’s not what he needs so i will hesitantly and sit next to him and SOFTLY TOUCH HIS ARM TO SHOW I AM HERE FOR HIM LIKE??????????????????????????????? pain. suffering. THEN THEN THEN the scene when sherlock comes back to the brownstone when joan is back home after being kidnapped (fuck off mycrosoft) and when they just STARE. AT. EACH. OTHER. FOR LIKE. SECONDS. FUCK THAT SCENE IS LIKE SO MUCH!!!!!! and she’s like. it’s okay. i’m okay. i’m okay. I’M OKAY. fuck. and then and then and then the actual hugs we get that joan initiates........ remember when we died 4.01. anyways. my fave one is def the one when sherlock comes home from vermont and like just WELCOMES IT like... he’s like yes i’ve been gone for a while hello watson i am ready to welcome a hug. i’m. emo.
AND THEN THE FUCKING ACTUAL GRAND FINALE (THEIR LAST BOW AKA MY ACTUAL DEATH) this scene personally is like the most painful and tear jerking scene of all time like. i couldn’t even imagine how it was to film for jlm and lucy bc it was like 7 years of friendship!!!!! 7 years of this....... and it was also like a hug goodbye to each other :( :( :( you could honestly feel it like FUCK. and how HER VOICE BREAKS AND HOW HE’S LIKE WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL ME AND HE’S LIKE I’M STAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how he’d drop everything for her. and the HUG. and how joan’s like i don’t need this i’m okay i don’t need you to be here and then her breaking down and accepting his hug and crying and they’re just both crYING AND THEY’RE BOTH JUST HOLDING EACH OTHER AND WHEN SHE PUT HER HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER LIKE GENUINELY I’M JUST AN ACTUAL MESS ABOUT IT I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BUT ALSO I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH MY PARENTS.
ok i think i’m done??? honestly????????? i miss them. forever. ugh. rewatch anyone????????? yeah. yeah. s1 forever xoxoxoxoxo
