Why I ship JOHNLOCK
(sorry omfg I have gone crazy)
When I look at a ship that I find interesting. I will start analyzing it, in so many ways that I know I can if I can actually engage myself in it. For example: Johnlock
"Can I see them engaging in coitus?" or "Are they worth it to ship?" I will find myself asking if this ship I am willing to engage in would make sense. Like, why bother ship it if it's pointless? So I thought of those questions for a while and I answer on both, YES (It is the fanfiction's fault about the coitus thing)
Why though, you ask?
1) Their platonic friendship is solid
How many times have John had given himself to Sherlock? John killed a man for him upon first meeting and Sherlock killed for him too.
LIKE HOW MANY BEST FRIENDS CAN LITERALLY KILL FOR EACH OTHER.
Bonus: Look at how he stares at Sherlock with complete admiration. Even not romantically or sexually in the canon, John is attracted to Sherlock since their first day together running around solving the Pink case.
(Someone please stare at me like John stares at Sherlock)
(And please, you CANNOT simply look at a person's lips that easily if you are not attracted to them. It would be uncomfortable enough to stare at someone's face more than five seconds but THIS, THIS, THIS?! This is admiration in John Watson style)
And this scene? Have we forgotten Irene and John's brief exchange of words?
John: If anyone out there still cares, I'm not actually gay."
Irene: Well, I am. Look at us both.
*Then John proceeds to ponder for a bit then considers*
Okay, he does love Sherlock. It's like Irene had told him: "We are both in love and obsessed with him." And it doesn't have to be sexually or romantically. They. Just. Are.
2) They love each other most in all the world
John saying he loves Sherlock: I want to be up there with the two people that I love and care about most in the world.
Sherlock saying he loves John: John, you have endured war and injury and tragic loss - so sorry again about that last one - so know this; today you sit between the woman you have made your wife and the man you have saved. In short, the two people who love you most in all this world.
They have said they love each other, most in all this world. :") WHAT DO THEY WANT US TO THINK THIS IS? The conclusion is always ending up to love.
3) Mary, John's wife who knows she has a baby with John, saved Sherlock for John
Do I need to... like... explain why? It is because:
3) Sherlock is for John and John is for Sherlock. They are 'meant to be.'
Even platonically, they are made for each other. They love danger and they love each other. Mary knows how much Sherlock is important to John. To think she, who literally has an infant and married to John, saved Sherlock. That means a lot, man. I mean, Sherlock is simply the best man/best friend in John's life. Why, right?
4) Slow burn friendship/angst/love all in one series
John is mad at Sherlock when he does not take care of himself, like really mad... You don't encounter angst that much between best friends. The more you love a person, the more you are capable of being mad at them.
And there was a quote that says: If you are betrayed deeply, and you can forgive that person, then you love them deeply.
Imagine having a best friend you thought dead for two years. It would take a lot of effort for me to even say I forgive them, because my LOVE would be involved in it because it is considered betrayal and unforgivable.
And that is JOHNLOCK everyone.
*Twirls my umbrella away*
P.S.- I love Mystrade too :"D
