To anyone who ever thought that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were serious people:

funniest thing to me is people trying to distance holmesxwatson from bbc Sherlock so they replace “johnlock” with “watmes”. Like, who? How do you even pronounce that? Idk man just slap acd in front of it it’s fine man

So um. Yesterday I read the final problem for the first time to celebrate valentines and my little johnlock heart was already in so much pain because well. You know why. Especially these quotes

And as I read the ‘very sincerely yours’ segment it got so much worse because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS ACTUALLY HOW IT WENT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FAWX AND STALLION THING. HE. ACTUALLY SAID THAT WHAT.

so, i'm rewatching a game of shadows again and i've always been intrigued by this one scene. for only a very short amount of time, towards the end of the movie, Holmes and Watson dance together at the ball. now, that's totally normal today, but was it in the 19th century? and not any dance, but the waltz?

now, correct me if you have more data, but i believe, according to the quick researches i've made, that the waltz was danced by a woman and man, because well, we all know that it's quite a romantic dance, even sexual due to the proximity of the bodies. it's clear that dances have social connotations, and i believe that the waltz heavily represents the heteronormative structure present in our society. paintings and drawings coming from that period also suggest only men and women could perform such dances together.

as we all know, homosexuality was severely punished and looked upon as unnatural, deviant and evil (homosexuality is still a crime in some countries and still seen as unnatural today, i know that, but in the victorian era, would two people of the same gender be attracted to/love each other, it was for the best they keep it out of the public eye).

so, we just witness two men dancing the waltz, a dance that requires proximity and a certain intimacy. on top of that, one of them goes "thought you'd never ask." Guy Ritchie knew what he was doing there.
