Sherlock & Co Fan Blog

hello! I have. an etsy!!!

WHAT!?

EVERYONE GO CHECK OUT VIC'S ETSY NOW!!!

listening to a new podcast to heal my bbc sherlock trauma

Asdfghjkl VALID

Also in love with the mini Sherlock and Johns lol

Still thinking about Sherlock & Co and Joels comment on Johnlock, or to be more precise: fans reaction

After Joel made his explanation (which again: is valid) everyone quickly jumped to his defense, saying: "Well my headcanon is that John and Sherlock are actually cats". Which is like... I know it is supposed to be a joke and maybe i am over sensetive here, but please don't do that when queer people get upset at the lack of queer representation in the sherlock holmes universe. I know some people might see that differently, which again: valid, but it gave me a really bad feeling.

Like, I am not blaimg Joel or Sherlock & co at all. They decided how they want to tell their story, and thats valid. But him saying: "Every interpretation of the characters is valid." is the bare minimum. Yes, I am also happy for such a statement, after everything Mofftiss said and done. But still... its the bare minimum. And everyone quickly saying: "Okay, can we move on now?"

No, we can't... at least I can't. Because we will have this discussion again when the next adaptation drops (with a showrunner who might not be as nice and welcoming as Joel) and we will have this discussion again and again and again. And it is just so exhausting and frustrating

but i reached a point where i do not want to wait until a new adaptation drops and the next showrunner says: "What? Queer representation among the main cast? Well, we won't do it/haven't considered it/its up for interpretation"

As long as they keep on making Sherlock Holmes adaptations, straight up ignoring their queer audience, I will be annyoing and not move on.

And this is also why I am happy that Joel saw my comment about straight people still being the default today, replied to it and it still gets a lot of likes from otehr fans a few days later. Still think it is insane that - when you look at the replies - i was the only one who choose a critical tone...

Btw, this goes also for Sherlock and John being potrayed by people of color. We reached a point where John often get potrayed by a person of color: Irregulars, CBS Watson, Enola Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes himself? Still white.

Its so so frustrating. At this point the most recent Jane Austen adaptations are more diverse then Sherlock Holmes right now. Its insane!

Again: this is not about Johnlock but a much more bigger problem. Look at the witcher fe. We had to fight so so so hard for queer Jaskier. Like.... a straight audience can just lean back and wait, as a queer audience it feels like every coming out, every queer representation is still a major fight. And thats so frustrating.

kisskiss

John gets coffee and they write “Jonk” on the cup instead of “John”. John sort of goes off on who would be named Jonk, what kind of name is Jonk, etc…so….we call him Jonk. Hence, we have Jonklock instead of Johnlock.

It's also gained popularity because it's a good way to distinguish between classic Johnlock on this site (typically bbc sherlock) and johnlock between Sherlock and John in the podcast. If I see jonklock I 100% know what I'm getting. 😊

more twitter stuff Yeahhhhh

I get fomo when i dont do the trends!! So heres kissing

they r so stupid

*holding this softly, whispering* This is canon to me now.

They wont leave me ALONEEE

I cannot stop the thoughts its all just them its insane (i adore them </3)

Crackshipping is beautiful, actually

@littleoceanbabe

oh so first burying oneself under the other’s covers only to emerge asking about shoelaces, then watching the other in their sleep and later flopping on the other’s matress cursing in frustration of unsolved case, but asking deep personal questions about the other’s past and laughing together a while after?

and now waking the other up in the morning with a cup of tea? oh okay sure

what, maybe you’ve even sat on the edge of sherlock’s bed with that tea, john, and looked at him light-heartedly as he was pretending to sleep despite your talking, early sunlight probably splayed on his face and shining warmly on his disheveled hair or whatever? yeah of course why wouldn’t you perform this perfectly platonic activity, just warn me when I should give you both some privacy so that you can present him with a morning kiss alright

I think we need to talk about the fact that sherlock's been flirting his little autistic arse off but unfortunately he is doing so at john, the human embodiment of a social brick wall

asdfghjkl glad I'm not the only one getting 'this man is trying so hard' vibes off of Sherlock lol

Alright but imagine we do get a Johnlock kiss in the podcast and it will be super cute and all and after that John will be "I think we need to cut this part out, I mean our listeners here for the true crime right?" but of course he will forget to cut it out and then everyone on Twitter will be congratulating them on their kiss and in the next episode John will be "Okay, um... apparently I forgot to cut that part... oopsy-daisy! But it won't happen again!"

And then it will happen again.

@aleespace gave me inspo for this messy little comic. They are all messy panels, but hey at least I got it done. I just loved the idea so much that I had to start sketching. 🥹💛

(Sorry for the fuzzy quality and text. [,: )

(Aa. forgot the blush marks in the last panel.)

„to doctor and Mrs Holmes“ was a cute touch imo
