I think I love the H-W friendship as much as anyone but tbh I do worry for some people's reading comprehension when I see them treating some of Holmes' comments to Watson -- like the famous "conductor of light" or "one fixed point" quotes -- as if they were fully sincere and touching compliments instead of rather backhanded ones.

#sherlock holmes #acd holmes #tbf i think it's more people choosing to be in denial that holmes isn't always as purely nice and fluffy toward watson #as they want him to be #rather than them being literally unable to grasp the intended meaning of the text #or at least i hope so #i mean there's some real affection in those quotes but it's a kind of condescending affection tbh
