the casual background representation in elementary is one thing (very good thing) (I'm especially appreciating the fat ppl and ppl with visible disabilities as I catch up on season six) but the REAL joy here is the representation of weirdos. sex weirdos. platonic weirdos. sherlock's Entire Unrelenting Deal. one of his recurring consultants? a guy who prefers to be naked when he has to focus on maths. so many people are a bit of a freak in this and it's GREAT.
#like the tone of this is a little tongue in cheek#but also I feel like casual neutral-to-positive portrayals of harmless deviance are Very Good#good for neurodivergent ppl! good for queer ppl! good for kinksters! good for anyone who's considered a bit weird!#it's not especially or often used as a punchline it's just. background texture. realism.#there's a serious point to be made here and yes I'm framing it as a half-joke. deal with it.#elementary#falderal speaks#realised the other day I might have more hangups over calling myself weird than queer. which. um. WOW.#so I'm just really appreciating the way sherlock especially continues to be peculiar and offputting. for those of us who can't yet. <3
