So, the coffin.

This coffin is made for someone of about 5' 4".

There is a pointless amount of headroom. Say, 2 inches?

Lousie Brealy, the actress who plays Molly, is 5' 3". It's too big for her.

However, if we say, there was no headroom.... the coffin is made for someone of about 5'6".

And Sherlock’s fist mistake on the show? Guessing someone's gender wrong. 

Who is about 5'6" and not a female?

Martin Freeman.

The coffin was meant for John. Unmarried, distant from close relatives. A soldier, someone who is practical about death and acquainted with it, doesn't have a lot of money. The person who loves Sherlock. Who loves him enough to die for him.   

And Sherlock loves John too. But because of Sherlock repressing his feelings, as his big brother taught him, it is the hardest thing for Sherlock to say. Especially in front of Mycroft.

That is the truth. There were no bombs in her flat. The explosion would happen in that room.

My grandpapa used to always sit with his back to the wall before he had a wheelchair. He sat there so that he could keep his eye on the whole restaurant. 

I think John might be a bit paranoid. Why would he sit facing this direction? He can see the whole of the restaurant if he was facing Sherlock...but this way he can also see the door. Also, sitting beside someone is awkward to talk, but sitting accross is so far away. Sitting adjacent is much better.

I’m just gonna say it, I know I’m not the first one to say it but who cares? Why are people so concerned with Sherlock being gay? Like if you ever read the original stories, it’s barely hidden even though it was a crime at the time. Watson and Holmes spend too much times together, and care too much about each other to be just fiends. And when you read the book, Watson has this weird habit of describing Holmes a bit too much (especially comparing to the other characters). I was reading last night and it strucked me how they only use possessif pronouns (my dear Watson/ my fiend/ my dear friend/ Holmes, a friend of mine/ my detective/ etccc). Like honestly, never heard any straight guy saying stuff like this.

anyway I’m maybe wrong, but I don’t think so. Not about something I’ve spent so many hours thinking about. And I still don’t get why people don’t see it. They’re so perfect together *-*

Queerbaiting

Let's talk little, let's talk good.

I love Sherlock Fandom. I truly do love it, its craziness, and its genius. I love Johnlock ship, and I love reading theories.

But there's something I absolutely don't agree with:

People believing Mofftiss are queerbaiting. They aren't.

I enjoy reading Fanfics, looking at Fanarts. The artists of the Fandom are very talented, and it's amazing to watch the show under that new light, sometimes.

But the show itself isn't /that/ gay.

When I first watched it, I saw no Johnlock, and I believe many people are like me.

I think the show may just talk about a very strong and extraordinary friendship.

To me, it hasn't been queerbaiting.

On the opposite.

They adapted Sherlock to the modern societies.

If nowaday, two men decided to move in together and go on adventures, people would think "Oh, they're gay!"

And that's what the show is showing, when people assume Sherlock and John are in a relationship.

Mrs.Hudson's speech isn't a hint about Sherlock's or John's sexuality.

She is simply reacting like people would react nowaday, assuming who are gays and who aren't.

Yes, we can see a few of Sherlock's behaviors as 'gay'... But he has also 'straight' behavior. The Woman, for example. She mattered, no matter what extreme shippers think.

The show would make a mistake if it chose a side. All the fans are free to ship whoever they want, to make stories, write and draw arts and express their theories.

But the show isn't showing Johnlock as canon, like it isn't showing Adlock as canon.

Since the beginning, John says he's straight.

And since the beginning, Sherlock says he is married to his work.

Sherlock, who is a brilliant, amazing and unique man, mysterious about his feelings. Exactly like in the books.

Let's talk about the theory about Asexual!Lock, then. The fans believing the detective is asexual have more than enough reasons to do so.

If Mofftiss made Johnlock canon, it would be queerbaiting toward the ones who sees Sherlcok as asexual, right?

My point is: The show isn't queerbaiting. It is giving us the freedom to watch and ship whoever we like, but there's no hints.

Is someone in love with his flatmate going to lock him up in a lab after having drugged him?

Sherlock was sadly looking at the empty chair before the wedding, right?

But it can simply be a man who is feeling lonely, now that he lives on his own.

It doesn't have to be love between them. Not romantic love, anyway.

The show only shows us two men, caring deeply for each other.

It isn't queerbaiting.

I'm not against Sherlock being gay, asexual, straight, anything he bloody is.

But I'm against fans who are shaming Mofftiss because they are unhappy their ship isn't canon.

Even if Johnlock isn't canon, Mofftiss gave us many queers characters.

So many LGBT+ characters, and so many more LGBT+ canon than most of shows will ever have.

John's sister, introduced at the first episode? Lesbian.

Irene Adler? Lesbian.

Sherlock's uncle? A cross dresser.

The couple having the hotel at Baskerville? Homosexuals, gays, and giving sweet names to each others in front of the camera.

And let's not even start talking about Moriarty/Eurus who are somehow queers in their madness even if they're both unhealthy.

I've read many times on the Fandom that "queers characters are all bad guy in Sherlock show."

Alright.

Sherlock.

Is.

A.

Police show.

About cases.

Criminals.

There's no many episodes, and no many characters, and there's no useless characters.

I think it would be so much more insulting toward the LGBT+ to add useless LGBT+ characters only for the sake of showing off how tolerant they are, than having LGBT+ characters with an actual personality.

Should I even add that most of the characters on the show have a sexuality we don't know about?

What I mean is, let's all being intelligent. We can like a ship, love it, and create art about it. But being mad at the people who made this amazing show only because we are unhappy our ship isn't canon is not smart.

It isn't respectful. It isn't good.

And I'm certain Sherlock says the same.

Biggest plot twist of them all: The Final Problem ends with the reveal that the whole show was Sherlock and John, lying in bed one morning after their wedding, remembering their story. If the episode was in John's point of view it is him that is talking, and same with Sherlock.

I love how when most of us want to try doing the old Sherlock thing and post a theory, almost every time someone already noticed it before us.

I remember I downloaded Tumblr just to post something I noticed in TFP.

I WAS SO PROUD

Ofc someone saw it before me. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND MYSELF THAT THIS FANDOM IS 10-11 YEARS OLD.

I used to be always over here like: 🥳😆🤯

And everybody else was like:

[late-to-the-party-221]

Cases are his life. The only thing that matters is the work. He’s married to his work.

There was only one feature of interest. No it was not the case of this locked shower murder with a disappearing weapon. It was John Watson.

IM HAVING A THOUGHT

QUICK BEFORE ITS GONE

Dr Sarah: you sure this job won't be mundane?

John: mundane is good

Sherlock: how did the job interview go?

John: she's great

John: Sarah, wanna go out on a date?

John's work with sherlock: exciting, not mundane

Someone please analyze my thoughts & explain them better. Sarah and girls are mundane and Normal heteronormative, work is mundane. Sherlock, queer, and crime solving is abnormal and fun.

Do you get what I'm saying?
