Sherlock Holmes Is One Of The Most Romantic Characters In Literary History He Takes Watson On Dates To

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most romantic characters in literary history he takes Watson on dates to the theater and figures out which music is Watson’s favorite and plays it for him on his violin and takes him on walks by the sea and through the park and holds his hand when he’s scared…and still adaptations be like “hmmmmm cold and mean and distant hates everyone and tolerates Watson sometimes” Like sorry that you don’t understand love. Where is the adaptation that exaggerates his compassion and romanticism and affectionate nature instead of exaggerating the same boring “cold and pretty rude man who thinks emotions are stupid” thing that’s been done a million times??? Here’s a Hot Take: making something cynical is not the same as making it deep!!! Let Sherlock Holmes be gentle!!! Let him be gay!!!

Being obsessed with Sherlock Holmes is so embarrassing like-- ok here's my favorite book character of all time, hes a literary icon, youve definitely heard of him before and now youre probably thinking of a weird detective dude with a silly hat, please hear me out the idea you have of him is completely different from what he's like in the books, please hear me out--

Considering how often Watson describes Sherlock's nose as well, constantly comparing it to a bird's beak, I'd say he is also a nose man.

I imagine them both doing this often, because it's no secret that they're a little obsessed with the other, and having collections of photos/letters from one another.

Fellas is it gay to send your flatmate a picture of yourself for him to cherish, with a caption saying you miss him?

And is it gay to then track down the flatmate who says he misses you, send him a photograph in return, and show up where he is?
