John Watson - Tumblr Posts
Sherlock singing baby come back at the end was so beautiful. Giving him torture in his last moments for trying to kill his best friend.
The panic in Sherlocks voice when John got shot. "John!" "Please..."
Slaney deserved it.
The raw emotion in sherlocks voice "You killed an innocent man. You tried to kill my best friend." "I meant what I said, I am going to kill him." God, a masterpiece. I can't get this episode out of my head. It was majestic.
Sherlock probably didn't tell John in case sherlock died dismantling the web. I mean, giving hope to John that he would come back, if he died trying to dismantle the web, after John already thinks he's dead would be just cruel to let him go through that twice. (Remember that scene where he told Molly that Jim was gay because it was kinder saving her time, maybe that's why he didn't tell John, in case he died. Saving his time so he wouldn't have to grieve twice?) He only told who he had to. Brain over heart, maybe because that's what he knows works and wasn't taking any chances. He still cried, saying goodbye, not knowing if he'd ever see John again. John made him laugh before he jumped, that must've impacted John, maybe thinking why that wasn't enough. Why he wasn't enough. The reason Sherlock disappeared was to dismantle Moriarty's web, we all know that. Sherlock dismantled Moriarty's web just to be with John, he was willing to go through hell and back for that. If Moriarty's web didn't think he was dead, that he died, John would die. So this was risky. He had to kill the whole web so not even one could get to John if they found out Sherlock was alive. And thus he faked his death for 2 years. He had to disappear and dismantle it if he wanted him and John to be together. To be with John, so he could keep him safe forever. He could've just died, so John would be 100% safe, but he decided to risk it all for John. John had no idea what was happening got pissed at Sherlock when he came back, I mean, your best mate pretending he was dead for 2 years and then coming back cracking a joke? Sherlock probably cracked that joke, well, on a whim. We all know he isn't good with social ques. Sherlock probably thought that John would either laugh or well… Get mad. You could see the uncertaincy in his face. After he got punched Sherlock - (Irene saying "Someone loves you-" because John punched his cheek and avoided his nose and mouth, well, this time John went for the nose.) - did try to explain to John in that diner what happened when he 'died' and what he had to do, but John wasn't having it. He just wanted to know why he didn't tell him he was alive. Sherlocks excuse was that John would tattle. Why he said that instead of the reason I gave above, maybe sentiment, or even greater, human error. Well, now Sherlock wont tell John what happened, maybe so John wouldn't feel guilty. idk what do u guys think
Me and my evil wife who I’ve convinced myself I love even though I see her as a barrier between me and my best friend who I’m actually in love with
This scene was so beautifully performed. The way John stepped next to Mycroft, as if it were an important game choice. Oh wait.
is it bad that every time I see the word machine I think of sherlock and john
Smile, it's free therapy. (Douglas Horton)
Because I realised I didn't have that many gifs with a truly happy John Watson. 🥲 Bonus Sherlock and there will be more to come.

Just a little bit confusing, but I like this.
THE LITTLE GIRL IS NOT EURUS
IT’S JOHN
IT’S FUCKING JOHN
THIS IS THE PLANE SCENE
THERE IS NO ONE SITTING ON THE SEAT BETWEEN JOHN AND MARY
SAME THING WITH THE SEAT OF THE GIRL AND HER MOTHER
AND THE PEOPLE ON THE PLANE ARE SLEEPING IN BOTH SCENES
AND THERE’S A THUNDERSTORM OUTSIDE IN BOTH SCENES
JOHN IS DREAMING / HALLUCINATING
AND HE IS ON THE PHONE WITH SHERLOCK AFTER EURUS SHOT HIM
AND THAT’S WHY THE CARPET LOOKS LIKE A PUDDLE OF BLOOD
THE PLACE CRASH IS SYMBOLIC, IT MEANS THAT JOHN IS DYING
AND SHERLOCK IGNORING “VATICAN CAMEOS” IS ONE OF HIS FEARS
THE FINAL PROBLEM IS JOHN DYING
FUCK MEEEEE I AM SCREAMING, I AM ASCENDING!!!
I have come to the realization that most of the media I've been hyperfixating on for a while are all just various Sherlock Holmes adaptations (and/or inspired by SH) and I don't know what to do with that information.
Oddly enough the actual ACD books and related shows were the most recent addition to my silly brain.
I think that Holmes and Watson's dynamic just scratches an itch in my brain.

Sherlock & co. headcanons
Long post, sorry :,) I think about these idiots a lot. Lots of projection onto Sherlock, I apologize in advance.
I’m gonna avoid adding any ship headcanons because I want to focus on their characters and how they help each other, not the possibility of romance.
- Sherlock is an amazing artist. And I mean like, AMAZING. But he hates showing people his sketchbook. John is always baffled when he manages to catch a glimpse.
^ Idk if they’ll include Mycroft since he’s only in like two of the books but if they do include Mycroft, it’s absolutely his fault that Sherlock is insecure about showing his art to others.
- Sherlock’s ear defenders have stickers on them. Mariana gave him a pride flag sticker to put on them, he loves it.
- John shaved all his facial hair off once. Sherlock refused to look at him till it grew back, unless he put a mask on. Mariana laughed constantly during that time.
- John sleeps with his socks on. Thank you, fanartists.
- Sherlock will sometimes randomly decide to plop into John’s bed in the middle of the night. John secretly loves it.
- Sherlock’s hands are always freezing. Sometimes he’ll put a hand on the back of John’s neck because John hates it and it makes Mariana laugh, then John can’t stop himself from laughing. Sherlock loves when they laugh.
- John and Mariana have movie nights in 221B. Sometimes Sherlock will join but he doesn’t really enjoy movies, so he’ll just be on his phone. They do it in 221B anyway because they want Sherlock to feel included even though they know he won’t watch the movie regardless.
- CANE USER JOHN.
- As a followup to the previous hc, John hates using his cane in public. He always gets weird looks and he’s insecure about it. He often has to use it in the flat because he refuses to use it out in public, and Sherlock and Mariana never mention it. He’s gotten a bit more comfortable with it because of that.
- John has A Chair that no one touches. If a guest sits in his chair, Sherlock will tell them to move. John needs to always have an open, easily accessible spot to sit down due to his leg.
- Sherlock often goes nonverbal, especially after cases. John and Mariana have learned sign language for him. Partially to communicate with him while he’s nonverbal, partially to cut down on noise when he’s overwhelmed.
- Since it’s said in the beginning of the show that Sherlock has DID and I personally have DID, here’s a hc specific to that (which totally isn’t projection at all……). Sherlock has a child alter, as do many with DID. While John and Mariana aren’t very experienced with this stuff, they’ve taken time to learn and always make sure to keep the environment safe for said alter. They also will wait for Sherlock to tell them who’s fronting, because he often gets frustrated when they ask.
- Sorta related to the last one but also just general, Sherlock hates when people ask him things (unless it’s related to his interests). Stop asking him how his day was, stop asking him how he’s doing. If he wanted you to know, he would tell you.
- Sherlock loves John’s mum. She sees him as her son.
- John is oblivious. He’s had many people (mainly women) ask him out and didn’t understand he was being asked out on a date. He once had a friend who thought they were dating because she didn’t explicitly tell him and he just kept hanging out with her, thinking she just wanted to be friends. No malicious intentions whatsoever, he literally is just oblivious as fuck.
- On that note, John is bi, Sherlock is gay, and Mariana is lesbian.
- John’s insecure. Just in general. About his body, about his scars, about his voice, everything. He’s especially insecure about how much he yaps. It just happens and he gets frustrated with himself. Sherlock secretly loves it.
^ One time, John got so annoyed with himself that he decided he wouldn’t talk unless necessary. Sherlock told him he loves the yapping and reminded him that the podcast listeners love his rambles. John instantly went back to being his normal, yappy self.
- Possibly he/they Sherlock?
- The trio have all helped each other with insecurities. John’s and how they’ve helped him I’ve mentioned previously in this post. Mariana often feels out of place since she has no family in Britain and her accent stands out, but John always reminds her that him and Sherlock are her family too. Sherlock secretly loves her accent. Sherlock’s got a ton of mental issues (as stated in episode 1), and often gets frustrated because he has a hard time expressing his needs. John and Mariana do their best to accommodate. I’ve stated some ways I hc they do that previously.
I’m gonna stop now, but I could go on for hours.
I’ve actually been writing this on and off for several hours, oops.
Goodbye, enjoy some silly hcs. Feel free to add on to some of them in replies/reblogs, I’d love to see your hcs and I’d def love to hear (read ig) opinions on these.
I think one of my favourite things about Sherlock and co is the amateur feel John has as a podcaster/editor. He is Trying His Best but still fumbles and leaves bits in he doesn't mean to and I just love it.
Ough long time no see but I'm back on that grind
And two more
