[unnonexistence]

oh i almost forgot

decorated his room with pictures of famous criminals

[tiger-in-the-flightdeck]

Ordered a picnic for a pair of newlyweds

Was offended that Watson doesn’t praise his skills as a housekeeper

Waived his fee if his clients are too poor to pay him

Made hot chocolate to wake Watson up on a cold morning

Danced around and bowed to imaginary friends

‘Flushed up with pleasure’ when being praised

Wouldn’t explain how he comes to conclusions because he was worried Watson would think he is ordinary

Grabs Watson’s hand when he’s frightened

Let another puppy lead him on adventures.

[shaneofaragon]

[thescienceofjohnlock]

Leaped over furniture like a gazelle.

[thedrawingduke]

•Shook hands with a baby :,}

[holmesguy]

noticed watson looking sad and touching his old war wound and tried to cheer him up with some deductions about his sparkling eyes

deliberately knocked over a table, shattering a glass fruit bowl which sent fruit rolling everywhere, then blamed it on watson and ran away

was not surprised when a dog died after its owner died, due to the “beautiful, faithful nature of dogs”

sent watson a telegram telling him to come over at once so he could tell him his most recent thoughts about dogs and the importance of their emotions to detective work

told Watson anecdotes about his favorite violinist for an hour while they had lunch together

made a little diagram out of breadcrumbs while explaining something to Watson

[astudyincanon]

Shared a room with watson in a house that had 11 bedrooms

Makes his client wait while he changes into slippers

Has a realistic dummy made of himself and uses it to fool a client

twice

in the same story

[mums-the-nerd]

Let a jewel thief off one time because: 

a, the thief cried 

b, the case had been really easy & if the Yard couldn’t solve it then frankly fuck em

c, it was Christmas

[justjacklee-deactivated20171103]

And People ™ still think he was an unfeeling, cold man of reason. Honey that man probably slept with a fluffy stuffed bee.

[elodieunderglass]

Made a BIG drama about killing a jellyfish with a rock

[walkingcompost]

Being a well-paid, soppy mess who retires to keep bees is #TheDream

[tiger-in-the-flightdeck]

Some more!

-Employed a bunch of street urchins, and talked to them like a general with his troops.

-Tore up Watson’s trousers to check him for injuries.

-Lets a man get away with murder because it would keep a pair of sweethearts from being hurt.

-Stops an investigation so he can go look at flowers with Watson

-Still loves dogs even after getting his ankle torn up by one.

[gogogadgetgolem]

Let a murderer go because he did it to avenge his love who had been murdered. Nearly cried when Watson was shot, knocked the shooter out with the butt of his gun and then threatened to kill him when he woke up.

The illustrator is out of control.

[rebelflet]

I missed you, John, I missed you so much… Shhh, I know it, I missed you too…

[bbcsherlock]

when john gets back from the grocery store

[isaiahmustafa]

“Allow me to introduce you to Euglassa Watsonia.” “You named a bee after me? You named a bee after me.”

[monstofucko]

Im suddenly??? More gay??? Than when I started drawing this???

*John is deeply sleeping, and Sherlock tries to do everything to wake him up*

Sherlock: *Call him by his name*

*Nothing*

Sherlock: *Plays the violin*

*Nothing*

Sherlock: *Shoots the wall*

*Nothing*

Sherlock: *kisses John*

*Nothing*

Sherlock: *Plays Irene Text alert*

John:*Wakes up* WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!

Sherlock: Oh you are awa-

John: I’M NOT STUPID YOU KNOW? FIFTY SEVEN!

A Study in Pink - BBC Sherlock (2010)

[loveismyrevolution]

Eurus knew

Probably this is said a thousand times already, but it haunts me since the first time I’ve seen it - so I have to get it off my chest.

Eurus knew their feelings for each other and she used that to get to them. That makes her the connecting Johnlock link.

Because why would she become the…

… all mysterious…

…stylish and dark haired…

…“I normally don’t do people”…

…and “I prefer to text” and I’m a “night owl vampire” for John?

~~

And the next moment she transforms into the…

… a bit old fashioned and sandy blond…

… with a walking stick…

…and a gun…

… who’s suicidal, alone and strapped for money…

… and nevertheless admires him and goes out with him “for dinner” for Sherlock?

Why if not for their feelings for each other? 

She knew!

And she made them both date (the female version of) each other!

sherlock rewatch: 

You’re unattached. Just like me. Fine. Good.

[moriarty]

[57circlesofhell-deactivated2015]

The thing I love about John is that like…he’s so much more dangerous than Sherlock but everyone else was trying to warn him away like “that guy gets off on crime and you seem like a nice bloke, watch yourself.” They’re all scared for him like “one day we’ll be standing around a body and sherlock will be the one who put it there” and that very night they’re all standing around the cabbie’s body and John put it there. 

[the-7-percent-solution]

This is unsettling, I love it

[blue-240d-deactivated20200202]

i’m gonna grow so many flowers and strawberries, and be the guardian to so many honeybees. just watch me

[a-candle-for-sherlock]

[skulls-and-tea]

Friendly reminder that when Sherlock wrote this: 

he was days away from this: 

[martinsgrrrl-deactivated2015031]

Beautifully put.

There is no platonic reading for this that holds water. Friends don’t fall apart from grief when their friend gets married. He was mourning the loss of his love. 

[love-in-mind-palace]

“I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?”

“For me,” said Sherlock Holmes, “there still remains the cocaine-bottle.” And he stretched his long white hand up for it.

[silver99johnlocked]

Sherlock: I’m home.

Rosie: Daddy, Papa!

Sherlock: John, you should really try not to confuse the child by making her call you two names.

John: She’s never called me that.

Sherlock: Oh great, now you’ve broken the baby.

John: I don’t think she was referring to me.

Sherlock: Don’t be absurd. Who else she might be calling? As far as I’m concerned you are her father

John: Yeah, but she calls me ‘Daddy’.

Rosie (reaching her arms to Sherlock): Papa!

Sherlock: …

John: …

[abitnotgood]

The homoerotic subtext between Holmes and Watson is SO BLATANT and KEY to their dynamic that it alone is the reason every single crime-fighting duo since ends up overly no-homoing to try to make up for how gay it is (Bad Boys, Point Break, Lethal Weapon) or keeping the subtext vague enough that everyone Could Be Bi (House, Hot Fuzz, Torchwood) or genderswapping and giving into the latent romance subplot so your two leads can make out (X-Files, Fringe, Castle).
