watson: it was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for irene adler. all emotions, and THAT ONE PARTICULARLY, were ABHORRENT to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind

holmes: watson im sorry i said your writing was too romantic please come back to bed

To be fair to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, if I wrote some pulp short stories for a quick buck and an obsessive fandom sprung up around it at a time when fandom culture as we now know it didn't really exist yet, and I had to witness people being insane about my characters while having very little precedent for what the fuck was going on, I would also be confused and frightened and desperately trying to escape from the situation I'd ended up in.

When Sherlock Holmes adaptation try to ship him with Irene Adler:

Found this on Pinterest,

Still true.

i'm going to be honest, i was shocked when i first read a scandal in bohemia to learn that irene adler appears in only one story. all she wanted to do was BE FREE to be with her HUSBAND who she LOVED and YET so many modern adaptations decide to drag her back in to be holmes' love interest. they saw one woman that sherlock holmes NEVER EVEN had a real conversation with and decided that she must be the love of his life, ignoring the ENTIRE first paragraph of the story about her and also everything about sherlock holmes. i honestly thought she was a recurring character in the original novels because of how much emphasis is put on her in adaptations (likely to distract from the tangible homoeroticism between holmes and watson that, no matter how they try to delete it, simply cannot stop appearing in their scripts)

Could you imagine being Sherlock’s client though? You go to this random man’s house, he invites his mate who you don’t know to listen in, says he can tell you rode your bike there because your shoes have three (3) splashes of a specific type of mud on them, he then looks like he falls asleep on the couch while you’re telling your deepest trauma, then farts around your garden for a while before accusing your uncle by saying he has a secret pet monkey or something. And you know what the best part is? He’s right

See, this is a situation where it would be perfectly appropriate.

Watson: Holmes is an uncaring machine

The Holmes depicted in his stories: Gets very angry when he feels people are being taken advantage of. Gets upset with himself when a client is hurt/killed when he makes a mistake/didn't act soon enough. Will make social blunders considered rude, but apologizes when he realizes he offended them. Clearly pays attention to the little details about Watson, despite claiming to only keep relevant information in his brain. Clearly enjoys just spending time with Watson outside of cases (going to an orchestra, walking around the neighborhood with him, just hanging out at Baker Street)

I want to squish him ouh...

I know some people are like “Holmes hates being touched and would hate cuddling” and that’s valid but I am forever team “Holmes hates being touched by everyone except for like 3 specific people and he cuddles Watson like a greedy octopus”
