Mrs. Hudson was soooo right you know. Marriage does change people. John's the grumpiest we've ever seen him at the beginning of HLV when he's with Mary. Honestly it's like Sherlock gets the very best version of John imaginable, always caring and patient while the rest of the world including his wife have to put up with the trashcan side of his personality.

Even Looney Tunes knows.

When I read the ACD books as a child, I don't recall John being such complete TRASH! *flails* if he werent so damn heroic all the time he'd be the sleaziest, trashiest boy at the dance! I can't take the johnford filth you're spewing anymore!

I still love you though!  💗

Tbh, I haven’t read more than a few ACD stories (I know, I know, I’m a terrible fan) - I’ll get there eventually, most likely hiatus between Shspesh and S4. 

Bruce was also super trashy - I’m remembering a lot of fawning over women and using his doctor’s status to practically have them in his lap. And Dawson from The Great Mouse Detective was trashy with his drinking and tincan dancing with half-naked mice-ladies (and his this-shirt-is-too-small-for-me fisherman cosplay), similar to Watson in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes with the flower in his hair as he dances with first, tons of female ballet dancers and then, ultimately, with lots of male ballet dancers. As for Burke, he is most certainly sassy, and Law is definitely a flirter, although so is Downey’s Holmes, and yeah, also Brett (he knew exactly what he was doing with his body and his smirks I fucking swear). 

But in terms of trashy OR flirty/interested ACD Watson we have things like:

nagging Holmes to tidy up messes

description of Trelawney Hope “the other, dark, clear-cut, and elegant, hardly yet of middle age, and endowed with every beauty of body and of mind”

hastily leaving his wife and practice to go check on Holmes, and then staying with Holmes while ill for days - again, away from his wife and work (okay, it’s hard to call this trashy - it’s more just an indication of how enamoured Watson was and how much he cared for Holmes, imo)

oh and then following this illness he extends his absence from his work and wife to take a vacation for a week with Holmes in the country

and he just generally seems to leave his wife and work often, even if Holmes isn’t ill, sometimes sleeping overnight at Baker Street

lots of other male descriptors like “dashing young fellow” 

he makes Holmes sound very human and quite capable of love until ASIB when suddenly “no no Holmes doesn’t feel love” because he’s a jealous trash can

lines like “as I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing”

not to mention in The Sign of Four with “an experience of women which extends over many nations and three separate continents”

I’m probably mutilating canon though, sorry! I’ll have to read more eventually. But yeah…always trashy

I want trash John and garbage Sherlock to live trashilly ever after in a fucking landfill of love.

John embarrasses me and I love it
