Both Ben and Martin gave us the beautiful love story.

welovethebeekeeper:

I know Martin did an excellent job, no question. But Benedict gave us the most ethereal, multifaceted, mercurial Sherlock who fell hard for his army doctor. Every nuance of that love, in all it’s joy and agony was displayed in Sherlock’s eyes, on his face and in his delivery of the dialogue. It was a heartbreaking journey into true love. A partnership of great actors. It hooked millions of viewers into this show. We all know true love when we see it.

there is no heterosexual explanation for this and that last sentence has 0 redeeming power

Holmes is so beautiful and his music is a sweet lullaby and I’m so entranced by him OH LOOK MY FUTURE WIFE NO HOMO

Oh my lord. It’s The Fucky Problem.

Honestly, I’m starting to think this sort of thing in ACD is exactly why S3-S4 have gone down the way they have. Maybe there is no Mary in Sherlock… because there was no Mary in ACD.

in all honesty–and this is me speaking from the assumption that there is no 4th ep or series 5 johnlock–i don’t think there was ever any intention on the part of the creators to have john and sherlock be together. i think they intentionally played with that idea because it was fun and interesting for them to engage in victorian-style homoerotic subtext, but they didn’t want the social or political “burden” of actually following through on john and sherlock’s relationship. they thought the subtext was clever, but they never viewed it as something to take seriously, and they perhaps didn’t think queer people were the ones taking interest in the belief that this show would positively represent them. they just wanted to play in the world of sherlock holmes, but they didnt want to have their sherlock be “the gay sherlock.” and yes, all of that is cruel and bullshit, but i think they never took this as seriously as we did.
