I Don't Know How I'm Meant To Be Writing This. I'm Not A Writer. Ella Thought Keeping A Blog Would Help

honestly tjlc ASIDE this show is just such a master class in subtlety and misdirection…sherlock is undeniably soft from the beginning, physically affectionate with hudders, taking care to make sure john eats, giving john money outright, leaves john out or removes john from the flat when there is a potential danger, he’s so gentle with sarah during the rescue, actually he’s pretty nice to sarah overall, his whole job is about helping people, and yet with a dramatic silhouette, a few fast-paced deductions, and a line about a high-functioning sociopath, hundreds of thousands of viewers, even people who consider themselves fans, fall for this ridiculous persona, for the mask sherlock wears to hide his vulnerability, even though we are shown what’s underneath it. people’s eyes just skim right over him, or over john, or over irene adler, or over mary, it’s just. the ability of the show to misdirect the vast majority of its audience and allow the characters to maintain their vulnerability even while showing them the cracks is absolutely stunning. 

Thanks James Krasner, you get it

Does anyone else ever think about just how QUIET Watson is? He talks much more in later canon, but he’s mostly very silent, soaking everything in.

Maybe it’s just that he doesn’t write his own reactions very often, because he thinks that he’s less interesting to the reader than Holmes.

But Holmes mentions that Watson has a “grand gift of silence” so I think he’s just a quiet guy.

It does add to the idea that I’ve built up in my head of him, that he’s this strong silent man, very stoic and very steady.

Which is a really interesting contrast to Holmes, who is constantly MOVING and TALKING. In fact, I think that it creates a conflict within both characters’ personalities. Holmes’ mannerisms are loud and hyperactive; but he’s the one who notices things, and is the thinker. Meanwhile, Watson is a quiet listener, but he’s also the man of action. He is stubborn and passionately emotional, as opposed to Holmes who is more calm and calculating.

I literally have no clue where this whole essay came from lol
