I Think One Of My Favourite Things About Sherlock And Co Is The Amateur Feel John Has As A Podcaster/editor.

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.

Exhibit nr 1: Sherlock only considered that John and him have a "rapport" after Marianna said it

Exhibit nr 2: He only called John his best friend after John confirmed they were best pals in a previous story

Exhibit nr 3: In Shoscombe Old Place, Sherlock referred to himself as one of the people John loves

Logical conclusion: John told Sherlock that he loves him, in those exact words.

That is all.

‘I’ve always wanted to drive one of these.’

‘JOHN HAMISH WATSON’

Ngl, I’m giggling kicking my feet internally

i believe in He/They Sherlock supremacy

also i havent seen people talk about the irene adler mention in ‘the red headed league’ episode enough. like she was mentioned once and never again. i miss my girl (she has not uttered a single word in this podcast)

I know it was painfully obvious that John getting shot fucked up Sherlock pretty bad in that moment, like the man snapped. And understandably so, I mean he thought his best friend was just shot dead. (Not to mention that if I’m not mistaken this is the first time we’ve heard Sherlock refer to John as his best friend out loud but that is another piece of emotional baggage for another day) But what about after the whole thing?

John is ok he’s not in any danger and Sherlock knows this but do you think he wakes up in a cold sweat some nights because he dreamt that maybe John wasn’t wearing the vest. That his best friend really was taken from him just like that.

I feel like it would become a thing for him that he constantly needs to reassure himself that John is indeed, in fact, alive and well and still here. Maybe when he has those nightmares of John dying he gets up and goes to his room to make sure John is still breathing, or if John is sitting on true couch Sherlock will come over and just sit and put his ear against John’s heart to hear his heart beating, or if he’ll just randomly grab John’s wrist to check his pulse at times. Because even though he can clearly see John belong alive and well, he needs to feel that he’s alive too.

Idk I can’t stop thinking about how drastically his whole demeanor switched in that instant and I just can’t help but think it definetly stuck with him even after the fact.
