Happy Bisexual Visibility Day! (September 23)
“grumpy bisexual” is soooo telling like the most telling part of that quote honestly because thats not even a real stereotype he just said the first thing that came to mind when thinking of john specifically lol
John Watson, the world’s tiniest, angriest bisexual.
John Watson + text posts (part 2) (part 1 here)
John Watson + bi aesthetic moodboard
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.

John thought Jim was bi
The first time we meet Moriarty, in TGG, as Molly’s boyfriend Jim, he’s WITH Molly but he hits on Sherlock. Sherlock deduces that he must be gay; he tells Molly to dump him. She gets upset and leaves, and then JOHN gets upset with Sherlock.
But WHY is John upset? He doesn’t get upset with Sherlock in ASiB when he humiliates Molly at the Christmas party. Is he really upset on Molly’s behalf? Jealous trash (I say this with love) John Watson upset that Sherlock hurt Molly’s feelings?
Now imagine the scene from John’s POV. Jim is dating Molly, so he likes women. Jim hits on Sherlock, so he likes men. John is thinking, “holy shit this guy is bisexual as FUCK!”
Jim asks Sherlock out. Right in front of Molly. This is a good enough reason for Sherlock to tell Molly to dump Jim, but he just uses it as evidence that Jim is gay and uninterested in her and THAT’S why she should dump him. OF COURSE John is upset.
He thought maybe he was actually going to get to use Jim as a lead-in to have a conversation with Sherlock about sexuality (he probably has no idea what Sherlock thinks about bisexuals. Just because Sherlock is gay doesn’t necessarily mean he believes in, or would date, bisexuals.). Instead Sherlock dismisses out of hand the EXTREMELY OBVIOUS (to John) idea that Jim could be bi and jumps right to “closeted gay man, dating Molly for no reason.”. This has to be so upsetting for John. No wonder he gets pissed off.
brilliant. that’s why he’s so insistent that he wears hair product too.
IT’S THE SAME FUCKING FACE PLEASE END ME
(ノ ゜Д゜)ノ ︵ ┻━┻
(thanks shinka for pushing over the edge of INSANITY)
He is so in love. So heartstoppingly and openly in love.
He really, really is. And this is the face he makes whenever he catches tiny glimpses of the great hearts that dwell inside the reserved, anti-social and seemingly cold men he chooses to love.
You see something like it when Sholto corrects himself and uses John’s first name, a kind of tenderness and regard sneaking into his tone when he does:
JOHN’S SO SOFT AND BI WHEN DRUNK
like how sherlock is so swishy and gay
people don’t believe john can be bi because he’s married to a woman. like this is why tjlc would absolve the earth of its sins.
#John is wondering when exactly Sherlock will take the fucking hint.
That’s why they couldn’t air this pilot
What was that thing Gatiss said about how if it was going to gay it would’ve been gay from the beginning…
this is my favorite cut of the entire season really
"i meant ex"
WHY???? WHY IS THIS IN THERE????? TELL ME THE REASON????? WHAT IS THE STRAIGHT READING??? WHAT??? TELL ME WHAT IT IS??????
I rewatched ASiP a little while ago with my mom and I pointed out the really super overt flirting at Angelo's and she legit tried to tell me that John was asking about Sherlock's relationship status because he's a doctor and that's a doctorly thing to do. I swear to god people will do fucking backflips and tie themselves into goddamn pretzels to try to find a no homo reading of this show.
john: yeah mary invite your ex boyrfriend with whom you’re still inappropriately close to our wedding whatever john: is that a woman near sherlock my sherlock this is unaCCEPTABLE ?????!!!!! !!!! ??????????? !!!!
