The greatest love story ever told

aka, why Sherlock is still one of the best tv shows ever, even if Johnlock actually turns out not to be canon aka, why Johnlock is canon anyway, even if you have lost hope, even if it feel like betrayal/queerbaiting

Initially I wanted to post this after TFP aired if Johnlock turned definitely and for good not canon, but I might as well post it now and eventually reblog it later. Earlier this morning I made a point. Long story short, Johnlock is already canon, but the problem is that most of people can’t see it. No, I’m not a crazy person, I don’t think I hallucinated this romance alongside other john lock shippers. We have facts to support the ship, unlike other ships (of course I’m not trying to tell you that other ships are not valid, I know I may sound harsh but I am not. I am the first one here to believe that it’s important for people to ship whatever they feel like shipping. Every kind of fan is a valid fan) And even if tuck didn’t exist, I’d still think that the show contains canon Johnlock, and that’s because it feel right when it comes to the narrative. Alright, I could stay her all day long trying to explain this point, but that’s not what I want to talk about it. So, for the sake of brevity, just trust me and my writer sense; I used to be a writer, my mindset is still the one of a writer, I know how a writer’s mind works.

Let’s pretend the Clue thing is bullshit (I myself don’t know how to feel about it). Let’s pretend there’s no secret scene, no explicit confession, no kiss. That would be extremely sad for LGBT+ community. What a wasted opportunity. But… would it really be a surprise? Most of shippers even wanted a sex scene, but I’ve always knew it was a big no. Absolutely not. The most explicit thing they could have done in s4 was a kiss, nothing more than a kiss. Why? Because it doesn’t make much sense narratively speaking at this point. At all. Ok, we waited so many years, we knew what we wanted to see. But that’s not about us. Truly good books, or films, or tv series, are not about the audience, that would be called fan service. It’s about the story. And yes, this is the story of two men in love with each other, but it’s also a story about two mentally ill people, and that’s the whole point. Yes, it’s a story about LGBT+, but it’s also a story about mental health, it has been so since day one. John suffers from PTSD and has suffered multiple traumas (the return from war, the Fall, Mary’s lies, and yes, even Mary’s death, even if you don’t ship them, you can’t deny it’s an awful trauma) and he was suicidal (which was obvious but unconfirmed, at least till TLD, bless that episode). And I don’t even know where to start regarding Sherlock. In a deleted scene from ASiP it was implied he is suicidal too, but you don’t really need that scene to figure it out. He’s alone and scared, people constantly treat him like shit only because he’s more clever than anybody else, only because he’s different. And have you ever thought about the Fall? Yes, everything was fake. Still, he had to pretend people where right about him being a fraud, and you know what? To a certain extend, he believe that too. Not because he invented Moriarty, of course he didn’t, be he still feels like he’s a fraud; that’s what low self esteem does to you. And I won’t even talk about his drug addiction, if you stop thinking about it - really thinking about it - it’s so obvious and so painful. The poor kid is so depressed I literally can’t stand it. Let me hug him.

Now, I don’t know what people think about mental illnesses, but let me tell you this one important thing: they don’t let you have any real relationship. Now, it’s kinda difficult to enter this topic because it’s getting personal (and also my sister follows me here on tumblr, so I can’t make clear references to real people I know). Let me just tell you that I know what depressed people are like, I know how suicidal people are like, and I definitely know how people with low self esteem are. In my personal experience, it’s difficult for those kind of people to create strong bonds. Don’t get me wrong, they often strive for it, but they just can’t trust other people 100% and definitely they won’t talk openly and totally sincerely about their mental illness. That’s it, trust issues. They fear other people and mostly they fear themselves. (well, unless they’re on the road to recovery. As I said, it’s difficult to be vague about this topic, but I have no choice. Please, message me if you really want to understand what I’m rambling about). We see this in the show. How many friends does John have? How many friends does Sherlock have? Exactly, you know the answer. So what can we say about other kinds of relationships? What can we say about lovers? Well, it’s even more difficult. So, is it such a big surprise if this too clearly messed up people who are John and Sherlock are not ready to make another step?

They acknowledged they’ve saved each other, in so many ways and so many times. And that is, to me, the definite proof that Johnlock is canon. Because, who can you possibly love more than the person you saved and that saved you? And that happened not just once, but multiple times. But, most importantly, they didn’t just saved each other from being killed by the big villain of the episode; they saved each other from themselves, aka (paraphrasing Mycroft) they’re worst enemies. And if that’s not love, I swear, I don’t know what the hell it is.

After TLD, it’s crystal clear they’re not ready, even if we are. They are still so messed up, but they are on the road of recovery. And they will recover together, helping each other. And they will get better and they will end up kissing and yes, even having sex, when they will be ready. Mofftiss’ portrayal of mental illness is really stunning, and it’s already real, it’s there, on screen, and nobody can take it away from us. It’s canon, and it’s beautiful.

Maybe they won’t really kiss tomorrow. But I know what I expect to be in TFP. And if it proves me right, I won’t stop believing. Give them time. It’s not about the audience, it’s about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson

hi omg thlc was a big part of my life too?? and same i am BEGGING mofftiss to let it die pls dont drag anyone through that

YEAH!

I was super into TJCL, I used to watch this girl make videos talk about all the theories, and then I would discuss them with these two irl friends from high school. We had big expectations.

One of my friends was so confident in it that she made a bet with another friend (who was, of course, not into the conspiracy) that they would kiss at the end. We were all so sure. I would infodump on my poor mother about it, giving her all the details like how the score matched certain things, or why this one thirty-second scene was actually really important. I even got my neighbor (who’s around my mom’s age) to believe me and she also stayed up to watch The Kiss.

Then uhh,,, that thing that we call season four happened and yeah, kind of fell off after that. I remember thinking that yeah, there were a lot of incongruences, just so many things that made no sense or that were frankly rookie mistakes, but Mofftiss wouldn’t do that. We knew they had a plan, we were waiting for something more. 

As you know, that something more ended up coming in the form of Sherlock’s childhood dog actually being a coping mechanism for when Sherlock’s friend got murdered by his sister. And him not realizing something as simple as there not being a glass wall between them, or John being chained to the bottom of this old water well one second and being free the next with no explanation whatsoever, and I-

Listen you know what happened, I don’t need to explain to you just how disappointing that was. We all stayed up till 2 am watching the show and when we got to school the next day we gathered around and my friend who had made the bet just said, “I’d say you won but I don’t think anyone won last night.”

I remember even reading theories about the secret episode and just hoping it would happen. Finding specific dates on billboards displayed during the last episode, stuff like that, I think after like two weeks it really dawned on me that this was actually real and that there was no secret episode. 

Looking back yeah, I can clearly see why it just wasn’t meant to be, but back then I really believed it would happen, it just made so much sense! But yeah, the show’s kind of ruined for me now ngl, I can’t really watch it anymore, even without watching season four, I just can’t watch it without being just so upset about how they ruined something so dear to my heart.

#ames rambles #yeah I was #I really liked that show #and I was so into the idea of Johnlock being canon #like can you imagine? #this duo who everyone loves #being gay in canon #yeah it was too good to be true I guess #I watched Sarah Z's video on this like a week or so ago and I was just transported back to when my life revolved around TJLC #dizzeeflower #ask

@pocketofmadness I’m sorry I can’t reply to replies, but I wanted to make a point for everybody to see. This is a reply to a post by @yearofjohnlock that I reblogged yesterday. The post says that for some people it may be ok not to have john lock canon 100%, that is fine if they just imply it, that it’s okay because the mental illness theme was well portrayed. pocketofmadness said that it’s not ok. And you know what, they are both right, in a certain way.

We could discuss all day long about what we personally wanted to see on screen. For example, since the beginning I never wanted to go further a kiss, if the kiss was to happen. But that’s because I don’t usually like sex scenes. That’ s because to me john lock is so obvious and so heavily imply that I think it’s canon. Because, as a writer, that’s would I have done, regardless of the gender of the characters.

As an ace, I would have loved an ace!Sherlock, but seriously, how can’t anyone see how gay he is? He’s gay, full stop. End of the discussion. As a biro, I would have loved an actual confession from John, but seriously, he’s hella bi; I don’t need his words, his actions speak louder. And that’s exactly how I would sum up it. Actions speak louder than words. Yes, a kiss would have been the top, but it is what it is and what it is may or may not be shit.

BUT there’s a big but. This is not about what I want. This is not about what you, the reader of this message, want. This is about what the LGBT+ community needed. What they needed - what we needed - was a representation that couldn’t leave any doubt. But let’s ask ourselves why we need it so bad in Sherlock. Answer: because people are so wrapped in heteronormativity that they can’t see the truth. And let me let you a thing: this has nothing to do with Sherlock. People are stupid, people are dumb and, sadly, quoting one of the best teachers I’ve ever had, they can’t see what’s in front of their eyes, they can’t analyze what they read because they can’t think with their own heads anymore. That’s harsh, but that’s true.

Now, what’s the matter with Sherlock? In my opinion, nothing is wrong with it. John and Sherlock love each other, even if most of people can’t see it. Moffat and Gatiss have missed a huge opportunity, I concede it. But that’s not the end of the world. Yeah, some of you are calling this “a cruel queer baiting” but is it? Only to a certain extend, I think.

I also wanted to talk about how they addressed mental illness and about how what the authors have done is still HUGELY important to a lot of people regardless of john lock, but I just woke up and I can’t properly write. If anyone wants to discuss the issue, I’m gladly willing to

[super-who-lock-221-b-blog]

on the six thatchers at the end of the credits you can see there are red letters amongst the credits. which say the six napoleons and on the lying detective there are again red letters with the credits which say once more unto the breach. now on the TST it says the six napoleons which i look it up and it is one of the sherlock Holmes stories of ACD which is very similar to the TST ( so thats the story moftiss made into TST) so there is the connection. on TLD when Sherlock is extremely high and is rambling words while shooting the wall he is saying "once more unto the breach dear friends once more" and continues to speak. that phrase is from shakespear on his play Henry V. the meaning of that is "is let us try one more time or try again." but then it shows again on the credits so there must be a connection like in the last episode.. any ideas?

The Lying Detective

If I would write all my thoughts and stuff on this episode, it would be a never ending post. Therefore, I'm just gonna share (or at least write it down so I really have it noted somewhere) my thoughts about the absolutely best scene in the ENTIRE series. Namely, oh you guess it, the hug scene. In my opinion it's the best and most beautiful moment of all, and it's a part of the best episode ever according to me. It's all just perfect, and then I don't say it as a Johnlocker, but as someone who really appreciates a well written show, film, book etc. Thank you Steven and Mark❤ I don't know what I believed when I thought they would let them kiss. I mean, they hadn't even talked properly yet, so it was just me wishing and hoping. But the hug is more than enough! And the fact that Sherlock and John are TALKING TO EACH OTHER and let the other one see the other vulnerable is just amazing. The scene made me cry, and honestly, I don't cry often when it comes to shows and films. The first time I watched The Reichenbach Fall I was about to cry, but I didn't which says a lot. I think the scene can lead to confirmed Johnlock. After all, they are going to do "something no one has done before" and make "television history." When you think about it, the whole episode is just about John and Sherlock. Sherlock gets involved with a horrible serial killer, and all for John's sake. To "save John" he needs to put himself in danger so that John can save him and feel like he is useful. As Rosamund Mary says, he doesn't want to be saved but he wants to save others. That's what he's missing with the war in Afghanistan so much and since he and Sherlock had some quite long periods of time away from each other, he never got to feel like having a purpose, which is very important to not just him but all human beings. That's one of the reasons why people get depressed, they feel like not having a meaning and feel useless and wasted in their life. John needs to have a purpose, and he's feeling like having one helping others and I think especially Sherlock. Then he should know that he means something much more to Sherlock. Sherlock needs John all the time to function. I mean, we've seen that quite clearly. John wants to help people because he's a good man (even though he almost beats Sherlock to death, but that's probably because he gets scared when seeing Sherlock loosing his shit completely threatening an "innocent" person, as they thought then). Anyway, Sherlock puts himself in danger in order to save John. He "goes through Hell" to help John, and I think that's what Rosamud Mary meant by "go to Hell, Sherlock." It's so sweet of Sherlock to do this for John. Now we know he would do almost anything for John, but if he wouldn't he would still have done it for himself because HE NEEDS JOHN. When all the trouble seems to be over they sit in their armchairs at Baker Street and drik tea. Of course it's tea. John sees Mary as he has done during the whole episode and she acts his conscience and what he really thinks and want to say to both himself and Sherlock. It's very interesting as "she" knows John loves Sherlock very, very much and kind of seems to ship them. At least "she" wants John to be the man he always has wanted to be and stop playing by the rules, doing what he thinks he's supposed to do. Like, you know, marry a beautiful woman, get a nice house and a kid... He's not that kind of man, and Rosamund Mary knew that. At least John believes she knew, he feels like she knew since he's literally saying it to "her" (himself) out loud as Sherlock witnesses it from his armchair. I believe he doesn't find it weird at all that John is standing there speaking to someone who is dead. He has gone through similar stuff and understands what John is doing. John is a broken man, so is Sherlock. They understand each other. They're made for each other. Also John admits his misstake cheating to "Rosamund Mary" in his head, he admits it to himself, that he has done something wrong and can accept that and soon overcome it. Having this emotional talk with himself about misstakes and who he really is makes him cry. Finally! Finally he accepts that it's okay to cry and show himself vulnerable. At least in front of someone he loves and knows love him back, in some way. In a moment Sherlock is up from his chair and is there to comfort him, like a real friend (and maybe something more). Finally he lets himself touch John. I think he has been afraid to do that, afraid to show too much of his feelings for him. He has one hand placed behind John's neck (VERY platonic) and John doesn't move. He lets Sherlock touch him and comfort him and cries against his chest. This sounds like a fanfiction but IT'S NOT, as we all know. Finally Sherlock dares to touch John, he's not afraid and John seems to not having anything against it, he needs it. He gets to touch the man he loves at his birthday. Could there be a better present?! John is crying because everything's shit, but he has a man he loves there who also thinks everything's shit and shares his feelings and tries to make things better. "It is what it is." It could be that, or, it has something to do with their relationship. Now they're between friends and something more. This is HUGE. Finally they've talked and opened up after six bloody years, John actiually CRIES out of hoplessness (not happiness as in TSoT) and Sherlock takes the final step to show him that he really loves him. And then we get to know Sherlock has an evil sister named Eurus (East Wind) and happens to be the flirting bus woman and John's terapheut, but you now, just details. The one thing that truly matters here is that bloody hug. It will set things in motion between them, I'm quite sure about that. Hope John is well, though. I really hope he manages to get away and do something like he did on Billy at the drug den and get that bitch down. I believe Eurus might be the brain behind EVERYTHING. She might be the real Moriarty...
