"John Watson is Sherlock Holmes’s best platonic friend and narrator" factoid actually just statistical error. John Watson is publicly declaring his love to the entire city of London multiple times a year. Sherlock Holmes, who only thinks he can receive love for the service he provides and tricks he can do and therefore makes fun of the stories as unbelievable and sensationalized, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

not to be insane about Them again but I was just thinking that actually... Watson doesn't know all that much about Holmes, or at least, that's how it comes across in the text. He doesn't know about Holmes's past or his family life. And (as far as we know) he doesn't pry. He just kind of accepts it.

He obviously wants to know though. It's obvious in his excitement when Holmes tells him about a past case, or takes him to meet Mycroft. But Watson is the perfect example of Minding Your Own Buisness. He doesn't ask because he knows his questions wouldn't be welcome with someone like Holmes. I honestly think thats why Holmes takes to him like he never has with anyone before. Watson lets Holmes have his privacy and doesn't judge him for it.

And it shows that you can love, trust and admire someone completely without knowing absolutely everything about them. They make me insane, your honour.

Sherlock, babykins, don't be so jealous of John's patients. He loves you more than them, don't worry. 🩷🩷🩷

love the part in a scandal in bohemia where watson is like i feel so bad that i'm in front of a pretty lady's house about to trick her but it's not as bad as i'd feel if i disappointed holmes so oh well then he throws a smoke bomb or whatever and yells fire

I don't block every tag that has to do with bbc sherlock and avoid it on ao3 like the plague (even tho that leaves me with approximately 3 acd era fics) bc I hate it so much. I'd actually argue that I would probably still kinda like it if I watched it now after years of not touching it. But it's like my toxic ex that I was too obsessed with and let's me cringe over my teenie self now and if I would interact with it again I would behave like my teenie self again thirsting over this ex lover, getting together again only to break up even dirtier.

Also bbc sherlock has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes and is actually shit.

Holmes and Watson but make it Orpheus and Eurydice.

Defying the laws of life and death to find his way back to Watson's side, no matter the cost.

Dutifully walking forward, knowing without a doubt that Watson's footsteps fall unwaveringly behind his.

An eternal love and unfaltering faith, a story of companionship revered across generations.
