Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

thinking abput how bbc sherlock has ruined sm ppls perceptions of sherlock holmes. pls hes not a asshole as a character generally 😭😭, only to like police and idiotic ppl.

where DID this come from? is it me? am i problem? if someone can tell me when hes malicious to a stranger whose not in a position of authority or a bad person, ill read it but im trying to think about adaptationswise when this happened. bc rdj is so so so out of character at times 😭😭

like the sherlock in my video game is so sweet 🥹, theres a dog who he greets, he gives his condolences to the wife of a dead man, the only person hes been mean to is watson and obviously hes gonna be a little mean to him bc thats what soulmates do :) like UGH idk

I feel like a lot of people ignore Mariana's role in Sherlock and Co. I understand that the bond between Sherlock and Watson is a heavy focus in the original acd books, but Sherlock and Co is it's own thing. Mrs Hudson may not have played a large role in the books, but in Sherlock and Co she is one of the main characters. Ignoring her prominent role in their dynamic just so you can focus on Watson and Sherlock's dynamic is strange. You can still talk about their dynamic without ignoring one of the main characters. In Sherlock and Co I have always seen them all three as being like a family. Regardless of how you percieve their relationship, you cannot ignore the fact that Marianna is important to both of them. People shit on those who ship John and Mariana bc it "gets in the way of sherlock and watson" but that is such a stupid reason to hate a character. People can ship Watson with whoever they want. It isn't hurting anyone to have people ship him with Mariana.

Watson has a very lovely dymamic with both Sherlock and Mariana. I've seen people genuinely angry to see the podcast focus on Mariana and Watson for even a second. Sherlock and Watson have also had many one on one interactions. They've had a lot of focus on their dynamic and how it is built throughout the podcast. People being mad that Mariana also gets those growth opportunities despite her also being a main character is WILD. A man and woman can be platonic friends without being a threat to the "main ship" This reminds me of what happened to Mary in bbc sherlock. While I agree that Mary is a poorly written character, people give her way too much hate. Hating a character is fine, but hating a character just because she "gets in the way" of your ship is dumb. I don't like Mary in bbc sherlock. I think her being a spy was weird. Her death was only there to kickstart sherlock and watson's discord and I think that is a stupid reason to kill off a main character. It had no proper impact to the story and she only existed to contrast with Sherlock. Those are valid reason to hate her, but I don't just ignore her existance. She was still a part of the bbc sherlock canon regardless of how buchered her implimentation was. Mariana is a fun character and a lovely addition to sherlock and co. She has been given the same if not less focus than Sherlock and people still rarely include her in fan content. Yes Sherlock and Watson have a very interesting dynamic but I'd love to see more love for Marianna. She is a part of their family. Regarldess of if you see the dynamics between characters as romantic or platonic Marianna is still an important person to both Sherlock and Watson and I would love to see more of her. She is like the "straight man" of their dynamic. She handles the business aspect of their organization. She canonically eats with them at 221b very often. So much so that she doesn't even have a dining table in her flat. I love seeing different interpretations of her design. She is such a fun character and her personality flows very nicely with the others. Tldr I want to see more love for Mariana, and people who hate her unjustly get on my nerves lol. You can ship two characters without ignoring or hating on the girl character.

this is so funny to me bc back in the victorian era mrs.hudson and sherlock were the popular ship.

BUT!! mariana is a well adjusted adult we dont know if shes older or younger than the boys but shes had a job before within an office setting. she is the most professional of the three of them. sherlock hasnt had a what society deems a "regular job" from what ive heard (im like a month behind 😭😭) john was in a very structured work environment that encapsulated his entire life, so

m like it or not marianna is an important character as the op said, and one cannot complain abt how its diverging from acd canon because bbc sh didn't keep to faithful to the source material. I dont even think gatis and moffat truly studied the character bc of his lack of empathy for victims and just how involved he was at the yard. which is fine but its sets an expectation for other sh adaptations.

anyway 14 yr old me was robbed of a kind and thoughtful man who helped me realize a huge part of my identity(autism) and not the i was a fucking sociopath :)

if i am anything i am a dachsund lover, so the 221b dog is a wiener dog in my personal opinion (idfc abt the crime scene dogs give sherlock holmes an attention whore dog)
