Dunno If Anyone Has Ever Posted About This, But I Think About This Bit From ILLU Constantly- They Are

dunno if anyone has ever posted about this, but i think about this bit from ILLU constantly- they are so silly and married in the beginning here

Do you ever think of Holmes alone at Baker Street after Watson's marriage and. And. And Watson's things are gone. Watson is gone, and there is just this aching gap around Holmes in the flat. The dust has not yet covered the space on the shelf where Watson's books used to be. Half of Holmes's home is gone, and he cannot even run his finger along the edge of the pain because there will only be one plate on the breakfast table tomorrow (and tomorrow and tomorrow), but you can't cut yourself on empty space.

CBS’ Elementary is everything to me.

Between the “i made you breakfast” and the “i’ll see you at home” and the “when was the last time you slept?” and the “i know you didn’t eat so i brought you your leftovers” and clyde going from “pet tortoise” to “our pet tortoise” and the “we’re two people who love each other” …

They are individuals in their own right and yet depend on each other so deeply, but it’s not co-dependency, they actively choose each other everyday all the time. They are two halves of a whole but they are not incomplete as individuals, rather they lift each other up. It’s so nice to see a holmes/watson relationship that’s so unproblematic and wholesome and loving. I love this adaptation. I just love them.

Yes I've seen this too.

I hope they bring up his negative habits and give him good growth from it. He is being a bit less patient and more himself focused. I think he is thinking of the present much more than the future. He doesn't seem to think or consider the effect his actions will have long term (with his drinking habit) and is generally less involved with the case. I want to see more Watson development and I hope they play on this issue in the narrative. I want to see a proper argument happen. Everyone is just brushing off his worse behaviors and I want to see conflict happen. Sherlock doesn't seem to have his "dark moods" as he does in canon. Sherlock seems to be very dismissive of Watson's behavior but maybe Mariana can be the "straight man" of the group and comment on these things. There is so much potential to use this and I hope they pull through. Show off an argument between Sherlock and Watson that divides them and leads to case related issues (like maybe in the fall watson isn't there because he is being stubborn and leaves to go elsewhere not knowing the true dangers) or something.

They get into disagreements often in the original stories so it wouldn't be strange to see here.

Does anyone else think John's character is shifting in Sherlock and co like yeah he's always been an arse but recently that's been very amplified, John is a good friend and always has been to Mariana and Sherlock but there's something that feels like it's charging specifically after the Shoscombe old place almost a bit too arrogant as of recent.

I'm not taking a shit on John as a character don't get me wrong but he's definitely changed and I don't think that's for the better.

Maybe I'm being padantic about it and bringing up a small detail or maybe I've just noticed things about John from listening to Sherlock and co a bit too much .

Seeing fanart of a character being drawn as skinny when they're not supposed to be SKINNY is the most enraging thing ever, especially when said character was only skinny because of a bad period of their life and yes I am talking about my guy Watson who did not suffer during the war and come back to be REHABILLITATED and become HEALTHY by gaining weight he SHOULD NOT have lost just to be drawn looking extra skinny when, in fact, beefcake Watson is the best and healthiest and happiest version of Watson. Holmes and Mrs Hudson would have been going out of their way to make sure that this poor traumatised doctor was being fed, please don't dismiss their good work.

Dr. James Mortimer, eh? Arthur Conan Doyle truly knew like about two names
