I’ve seen Elementary fans claiming their Sherlock is better than Sherlock’s because ours is an asshole and theirs is ‘sympathetic’ and ‘kind’.
I have nothing against Elementary, but may I just remind you - Sherlock is an asshole, because…
Holy shit let me love you.

Doctor Who 7x09 and Sherlock 2x03 : Same location.
What?
John has a depression linked eating disorder. In the opening of Pink, after John wakes up, his breakfast consists of an apple that he doesn’t eat. This is very common in PTSD, especially those who have suicidal thoughts and tendencies, which we know John does. It’s not that they are actively starving themselves, it’s that they just don’t see the point eating, as an effort to stay alive.
When he meets Sherlock, John eats dinner as if he is starving. He digs into his food, talks with his mouth full, as if it is the first full meal he has had in months. Which is entirely likely, since John has been home for several months at that point. Again, this is very typical of people who have been suffering this type of eating disorder, and find that they are no longer as painfully depressed.
Sherlock even goes so far as to point out that after moving in together, John puts on an average of a pound a week in weight. John brushes it off as being normal. He doesn’t deny it, he just points out that he is eating more than one meal a day. This implies that he wasn’t eating this often before he limped into Sherlock’s life.
This makes Sherlock’s insistence that John eat even more powerful. He goes so far as to halt an investigation on more than one occasion, to make sure John gets a meal into him. A well-fed John is a happy John, not because he is full, but because it proves that he is happy enough to actually eat.

Allow me to add to your feels with parts of the actual canon.
There’s a bit in Scandal in Bohemia, when the recently married Watson comes to see Holmes, who is on a new case. Holmes sees Watson and tells him that he looks like he’s gained about 7 1/2 pounds since he got married. Now to most people, this looks like Holmes being a dick and a lot of adaptations have translated this into Watson being portly or whatever, or loving to eat.
But at the very start of Study in Scarlet (which takes place only two stories before Scandal. The only one in between is the Sign of Four, where he meets Mary, his wife.) Watson is recently returned from war. He was badly injured and came down with a tropical fever that nearly killed him. He returns to England very tan, very weak, and very very thin.
So how I began to translate Holmes telling Watson he’s put on weight is, yes, he’s teasing him, but at the same time he’s relieved because Watson’s getting healthy again. It’s his backhanded Holmesian “I can’t actually compliment your wife cuz it would damage my street cred” way of saying that Mary’s been good for him. That his Watson is in good hands. And even though Watson leaving wasn’t good for Holmes, he’s not such a selfish prick that he can’t recognize that Mary is having a good effect on Watson.
People who write Sherlock as HATING Mary and turning into a pettily jealous six year old over her please take note.
I’d like to say this gif is kind of perfect in describing my feels because I’ve always thought that Sherlock and Mary get along well especially in their mutual love for John. (WAHHHHH)
These are good feels to have.

Akdjslf OH MY GOD I JUST DIED OF CUTENESS.
SWEET MONKEY JESUS YES
This speaks directly to my childhood.
thanks for letting me draw this for a legitimate reason
so have you guys watched fist of the north star
I’m pretty sure this is the moment Sherlock knew he was in love with John…
And also the moment when he realised he may never have him…
“You look sad when you think he can’t see you.”
get out
oh.
Watching this video [X] we couldn’t help but see certain similarities between BBC Sherlock and CBS Sherlock.
CBS Sherlock (Dog) // Joan Watson
BBC Sherlock (Cat) // John Watson
The accuracy of this post is astounding.
… and so sherlock and john never met. the end.
THE SHOW WOULD CONSIST OF JOHN LIMPING AROUND LONDON AT VARIOUS SPEEDS
“Who’d want me for a flatmate?” John asked, completely serious at the notion that anyone would actually want to room with him. He glanced at his old colleague when he heard him chuckling. “What?”
“Nothing, I just remembered a funny joke.” He said with a smile. It probably had something to do with two flatmates or something. John didn’t inquire.
“Oh.” He responded simply, returning his gaze to his cup of coffee. After a few minutes of silence, John looked up to ask Stamford a question but stopped when he saw a curious look on the man’s face. He almost seemed horrified. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Stamford stuttered. “It’s just…” He seemed to be trying to get a look at John’s back. “I just thought I saw something on your back.”
I cried and my tears were blood.

As an anniversary of the series 3 filming!
seriously I think we are the only fandom that goes batshit crazy just because the cast starts filming.
Anyway, let all hell break loose!!
Sherlock’s existence alone was the only thing that could subdue John’s PTSD. Now that he is gone, John’s tremors have come back.
(very unpopular opinion confession)
I don’t like that Sherlock magically cured John’s PTSD and that it was treated a bit cavalierly for something that actually affects many, many, many veterans and victims of trauma. Not to mention the fact that Sherlockthought it was A-OKAY to drug his best friend with what he thought was a terrifying hallucinogenic drug then exacerbate the problem by manipulating his surroundings to make John as terrified as possible. And then there’s no consequence for Sherlock for his abominable actions, he doesn’t even apologise, and John makes some vaguely angry noises at him and lets it go.
What the hell.
I know John and Sherlock’s relationship is more than a little dysfunctional (and that John is actually better with him god knows why), but the writers should have drawn a line I think, and made John put his foot down about what’s okay and what’s not. Doping someone with a drug that causes insanity is, for the record, NOT.
There’s a hearse waiting for you anyway.
