To Everyone Who Actually Draws John Watson Fat, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. It Is So Important To

To everyone who actually draws John Watson fat, thank you, thank you, thank you. It is so important to me that John is shown as athletic, strong, short and large. He scales a wall Sherlock needs a boost for easily, he's able to outrun Sherlock and catch up with a thief during a bonus mini episode on a mailbag, he's able to carry Sherlock on his shoulders easily, and he's not the stereotypical Y shape people associate with being strong and healthy. It's something that quietly means something to me and when I see people draw him skinny it hurts a bit. He's an average looking, greying, shirt, round, thirty four year old man and he's a protagonist and that means so much to me.

Now I'm just imagining Watson snatching away Holmes' syringe and giving him a coca-cola instead to try and prevent him from using too much of the stuff, and it just looking like a Mum giving her fussy baby a bottle.

So you’re telling me Sherlock Holmes could have enjoyed a refreshing coca-cola

What is your Ao3? Assuming you have one

I don't have an Ao3 account at the moment, but I do go on there occasionally if a specific fic catches my eye. I haven't made any of my writing public yet as I struggle with anxiety, but I'm hoping to be able to some day very soon! I do have A LOT of fanfics in my drafts that I would love to be confident enough to actually share with others, and not just have them for me to reread over and over for mistakes.

Thanks for the ask! When I do make an account and publish my works, I'll make an announcement about it on here. :)

Guess what? That "historical kick" hasn't ended. Infact, it has gotten worse. I have been introduced to the world of Victorian era bare-knuckle boxing, also called prize fighting, and I can't stop imagining Watson finding Holmes in one of the illegal fights. Considering the hints to Watson being interested in gambling and placing bets at one point or another and Holmes shaving a decent talent in boxing in ACD canon, I am now also imagining a possible fanfic where Watson goes to one of these underground fights one night and finds Holmes there...Oh, someone stop me, please, I already have enough unfinished stories in my drafts.

So, I've been a bit of a historical kick again in doing research for a Johnlock fanfic I'm considering writing...And I now can't stop thinking of Watson secretly working as a Resurrectionist. Honestly, I'm just imagining he and Holmes meeting in a graveyard by accident one night because Holmes is investigating a case and Watson is illegally digging up a corpse, and it's the most adorably awkward thing.

Watson spending decades trying to define the limitations of the unknowable Sherlock Holmes, versus Holmes being fascinated by the undefinable limitations of the seemingly ordinary Dr. Watson, is a concept I can be trusted with

Oh, Sherlock Holmes, the sassy bitch you are...
