OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU GUYS
I'm late to this fandom, so I think there's a very good possibility that people before me have pointed this out but I'm going to, anyway.
In that very memorable dinner date scene, when they enter, Sherlock thanks Billy, the waiter, AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HIM REMOVE THE 'RESERVED' CARD FROM THE TABLE SHERLOCK PLANNED THE MOTHERFUCKING THING OH MY FUCKING GOD I'M SCREAMING
Mofftiss: they know about Mary how do we keep them from getting the whole plot immediately
Mofftiss: well it looks like a good majority of them are lesbians.... what if we made Amanda look hotter than ever in the gayest way possible to distract them

I wrote them in a code I **know** they’ll recognize. Anyone care to guess the who, the what, the why, the when, the where?

I love how the Sherlock fandom took everything that moftiss gave us and just went “thanks boys, we’ve got it from here” and now there is no line between the canon and non canon because it’s all canon now.
Moftiss may technically own BBC’s Sherlock but let me tell you we actually own it.
What happened in the show is a good foundation but we’ve built the palace that stands upon it.
I used to love BBC Sherlock so fucking much when I was like fourteen or something and it kinda got me into the Sherlock Holmes universe so when I watched the finale I was actually legitimately overjoyed because omigod fucking god they're living together no wives or girlfriends and raising a baby together and the whole finale was about Sherlock rescuing John. I thought everyone perceived it as canon Johnlock but then I found out how violently homophobic the actors and everyone involved in the production of the show were post finale. And how derisive the straight fans were, it was a specific brand of potent hostility I'd never encountered before up until then and have never seen since in such intensity. The thing is I still maintain bbc johnlock was not even queerbait, it was just textbook gaslighting at that point. They made a pair canonically queer then called us every name under the sun for seeing that it was queer. Anyway that was just one facet of it that made the show age badly to me.
I also hate shows with a white male protagonist who uses his " neurodivergent genius intellect" as an excuse to be an absolutely garbage person, because it attracts a specific kind of male demographic that try to emulate this condescend whilst completely missing the irony of the purposeful character flaw.
Despite everything I did love that show with my whole heart as a kid, and I missed it so much, I loved Andrew Scott's camp as fuck Moriarty, Lara Pulvers Irene made me go wELL fuCk If I wasn't Gay BeFoRe. But after everything that particular adaptation has perhaps permanently soured for me. I hoped one day I could go back to it without wincing at the scene where John hits Sherlock because he blames him for Mary's death because I read some sort of meta internalised homophobia into it. But I realised even though I'm grateful to bbc johnlock for making me fall in love with the ship it's just an adaptation. There's millions of better ones out there, bbc doesn't have be an end all be all and I've also only read one acd canon book. So not all is lost and maybe I will go back to Johnlock just not through that door.
