Hey steph, I was just wondering if you knew of the post that compared John to Irene through gifs. I’m debating a friend who ships adlock and it’s a good juxtaposition of the two ships. And btw, you’re the only reason iv kept tumblr. Thank you, you’re awesome 😋

Hi Lovely!

Oh goodness, good luck! People can ship whatever they want, but for me it was clear that Sherlock had zero interest in Irene. I THINK the post you’re looking for is this one I found in my ‘john vs irene’ blog tag (I literally have tags for almost everything, and juxtaposition posts will always start with sherlock vs or john vs, just so ya know ;)).

If you need some further comparison proof, I did a really awesome Sherlock vs Irene masterlist that shows Irene is meant to be a mirror for Sherlock, not a romantic rival for John <3

I hope those help you out, and feel free to peruse the tag as well! <3

soo Irene can't be into Sherlock because she said she's gay... but John CAN be despite saying "I'm not gay" (also, what are your opinions on Adlock?)

(referencing this post)

Hey Nonny

I’m going to presume you weren’t being rude, just curious to my thoughts which could be construed as contradictory, so I’m going to once again point to the meta linked in the post talking about their sexualities: I read John as bisexual, and so does a large chunk of other bi people in this fandom. That post and this one here will have all the relative links you will need to understand why John is bisexual and why “I’m not gay” doesn’t necessarily mean “straight”. My favourite is this discussion here with actual life-experiences from fandom bisexual people. Hopefully it will help you understand our view :)

As for adblock, I’ve actually talked briefly about this before: I see them more as gay besties than ever being a couple. If you ship it, have at it, but I just don’t see it and it personally is a big notp for me.

Cheers, Nonny! Have a good day! <3

What in your opinion would be worse between Sherl0lly being canon or Adl0ck being canon ?

Hi Nonny!

Hmm. Well, to be honest – and this isn’t to start a ship war... ship whatever the hell you want, I don’t care – I think the lesser of two evils is sher1011ie, because while I can SORT OF see how people might think Sherlock isn’t gay (VERY VERY atom-sized possibility), Irene explicitly states she’s gay, and she’s in an implied relationship with Kate. I don’t know... something doesn’t sit right with me at all about adb10ck. Personal preference; I find the ship terribly boring since literally EVERYONE does it even though the two show NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in each other in actual canon. I see them more as gay besties and Sherlock texts her for advice.

I don’t like sher1011ie at all either, but it seems a bit more plausible to me than the other one.
