Are you aware of recent theories concerning what is known as ‘paranoia’?
Mycroft Holmes, to John Watson, in The Abominable Bride.
When you google “1895 paranoia”, this is what comes up:
‘Freud relates paranoia to repressed (latent) homosexuality.’ !!! (NB this is from a book called ‘Paranoia: A Study in Diagnosis’. Sound familiar, anyone? LOL)
Thanks for noticing this @gwyndall!!!
John, you’re so paranoid, indeed…
God damn it.

#holy shit#nice#tjlc#tho do keep in mind all of that was in Sherlock's head#so it's not necessarily textual evidence that John IS bi#(I mean don't get me wrong – he is)#but rather evidence that on some level Sherlock thinks John is repressing his homosexual desires#which is kind of a step forward – Sherlock not thinking John is hopelessly straight#(but then the same was also true of his meeting Sholto#and learning it's not that John doesn't like men; he just doesn't want Sherlock)#and now I have made myself sad#dammit#sherlock bbc#the abominable bride#sigmund freud#John is bi#johnlock#pininglock
