Like Yup Typical Sherlock Activities Good Luck John - Tumblr Posts

I just listened to the first episode of Sherlock & Co. again (which I've never done for a podcast before btw) and Stamford doesn't warn him here either😭

Though the difference is that John instantly knew that this wasn't gonna be normal because the first time he sees Sherlock he is bleeding. On a treadmill. Because he's doing an experiment on himself. So while Stammo hasn't warned him here either, at least John could throw out his expectations of any normal conversation himself, before being "mouth-doxxed" as @valhallassoundbox put it, since that's a much less normal start to meeting someone than the person just innocently asking for someone's phone lmao

Buuut Stammo still let John walk into this room unprepared for what Sherlock was up to, although to be fair he couldn't have known that *that* was gonna be what Sherlock was doing either, but he probably knew that there was a chance it was gonna be something like that

I just find it funny how Stamford seemingly did NOT mention to John that Sherlock would know everything about him the moment he’d walk in there. He did not know that he was instantly gonna be able to tell him everything about himself as if he had just finished copy and pasting a Wikipedia article about Watson directly into his verbal drive

Instead of warning him Stamford was just like “Can’t wait to see your reaction, it’s better when you experience it first-hand without spoilers lmao” and decided to let John walk into that room completely unprepared for what he was in for lol

John thought this was gonna be a relatively normal conversation
