I dislike the idea that TJLC is a reading (or “close reading,” or interpretation, etc.) of Sherlock. Although technically it is, it makes about as much sense to describe TJLC as merely “a reading” as it does to say that “Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy fall in love after overcoming various initial obstacles” is “a reading” of Pride and Prejudice. That’s not a reading. That’s just the plot.
Trying to get away from the news find my love for Sherlock again by watching early seasons and playing with fabric.
Also, until the end of October, this and everything else in my etsy shop is 20% off because, frankly, i’m broke. If you could signal boost this, i’d really appreciate it.
Because who are we kidding. We can watch that for weeks.

Sadly it’s not a lip lick – it’s a lip push… which in body language terms is a whole heap of difference! Usually when you push your tongue out of your lips like that it’s because you either do not like the conversation (you are pushing it away) or you do not want to be where you are (you are pushing the situation away), the same as a baby pushes it’s tongue out when you’re trying to feed it food it does not like or want.. It’s a sign of deep discomfort and a need to get away or change the subject. We cannot see John’s hands but quite often it’s combined with self grooming (rubbing of hands on thighs or sides, sometimes your neck.). It can also mean a distaste of what we are hearing or ‘rejecting an idea’. http://bodylanguageproject.com/nonverbal-dictionary/body-language-of-tongue-protrusion-or-tongue-rejection/
So, sorry peeps but if you’re looking at above gif & thinking John is being sexual towards Sherlock in any way read the above article (and many more you can find online) and think about it again.
Autumn is starting, and it’s time for Sherlock to put his collar up and
wrap himself up warm because he can’t let the cold slow him down during
cases, can he?
