I Imagine Them Both Doing This Often, Because It's No Secret That They're A Little Obsessed With The

I imagine them both doing this often, because it's no secret that they're a little obsessed with the other, and having collections of photos/letters from one another.

Fellas is it gay to send your flatmate a picture of yourself for him to cherish, with a caption saying you miss him?

And is it gay to then track down the flatmate who says he misses you, send him a photograph in return, and show up where he is?

What really gets me going in reading the original Sherlock Holmes stories and seeing the way Watson and Sherlock address eachother and speak of eachother with such casual affection and adoration. Like Doyle wasn’t hiding anything, it isn’t subtext at all.

“My dear Watson.”

“A friend?”

Besides you, my dear Watson, I have none.”

The way Watson speaks of him and his brilliant mind and way of living is like when you’re in love and enchanted for the first time and you don’t even realize it. Like who knew the greatest love story of all time was two raggedy men in a flat in London? Like I’m floored everytime I read it

When you're mean to me, this is who you're being mean to btw...

The things I would do to get my hands on this...

The silver cigarette case given by Arthur Conan Doyle to Sidney Paget as a wedding gift, inscribed “From Sherlock Holmes” x

scrapbooked the hell out of his newspapers

put on a hat that was too big for him 

giggled

cried because lestrade was nice to him

got all sappy and romantic by smelling a rose

let a puppy lead him on adventures

“impish mood”

lit his pipe with an ember from the fireplace because he thought it looked cool

Agreed

That’s it. “Old Sport” is officially a gay term, and a gay term only.
