I’m going to save up for a new motorcycle by running a scam where I bet straight dudes at bars twenty bucks that I can get a girl’s number in under five minutes and then politely walk up her and say, “I just bet that asshole twenty bucks that I could get your number. I’ll split it with you if you pretend to laugh like I just said a good pick up line and then write a fake number on my hand.”
Like, I never understood those kind of bets in those shitty teen movies. Everybody loves being part of a scheme, man. Use your head.
The longer we go before Sherlock & Co. does an adaptation of The Greek Interpreter, the funnier a Mycroft reveal will be
wdym john and sherlock went on vacation to john’s hometown and stayed in john’s childhood home. after having a traumatic experience where sherlock thought john had gotten shot. Okay.
has anyone else made this connection before bc im crying shitting throwing up banging my head against the wall like im actually not ok the direct parallels kill me i hate everything but i love them oh my god the first pic is arthur making fun of merlin and the second pic is arthur being worried oh my god the way their relationship has developed so much im so
im enjoying the Sherlock and Co. podcast but certainly what endeared me to this podcast most is John Watson's refusal to start calling Twitter "X"
if sherlock holmes and john watson were in the modern era watson would have holmes saved on his phone as "sherlock <3" or some shi meanwhile holmes would have watson saved on his phone as "Dr. John H. Watson"
y'know i genuinely think the reason that sherlock and co. doesn't make me feel queerbaited like bbc sherlock did is because in bbc sherlock john and sherlock are always like eight feet away from each other like they're a regency couple who can't come any closer to each other lest they collapse into each other's arms and ruin their reputations and then literally three episodes into sherlock and co. john's giving sherlock a hug that you can just hear is tight and warm and longer than 2 seconds anD SOMEHOW IT'S LESS GAY
rory williams is literally the most insane character. in love with the local batshit girl. best friend growing up was crimes georg. got erased from existence and turned into a plastic roman. 2000 years guarding a box. also the most normal man you've ever met. it's like he practices being normal. his hobby is Being Normal. he's a normal nurse who wants a normal life with two and a half kids and a picket fence. he's perfectly happy with the Fucking Insane life he has with amy instead, regardless.
his problem solving skills involve "tactical suicide" and "telling the eldritch entity possessing the tardis it should torture him and amy instead of killing them". these work. he also steals and carries around future and alien first aid stuff, apparently.
he became emperor of rome for a bit. he narrowly dodged becoming king of camelot. he knows how to dual wield a shortsword and a gun.
rory williams is a Perfectly Normal Man, despite all of this.
I love how every time we get a Gus focused episode we find out something that both makes complete sense but it also so surprising. It fits with his character so well. He has the appearance of a straight man with his pharmaceutical job and 401k but he’s also the man that believes in curses, demons, and mummies. Got married to a one night stand and my personal favorite, was in an acapella group in college.
Shawn and Gus' friendship is so solid. In the Lying Ryan episode (s3 ep 14 - around the 36 min mark) when Gus no longer wanted to trust Ryan, the way Shawn asks him to believe him is just so genuine, he knows exactly what's going on in Gus' mind... I truly love them.
"Okay, Gus, look I believe Ryan but I understand why you don't. I've maxxed you out in the blind faith department and that's fair. So, you don't have to believe him. Just keep believing in me. Come on, buddy!"
And Gus reverses the car to show that he does believe in Shawn.
Just a minute later, when the bad guys are shooting at them, Shawn tells him to get back to the hospital and that he'll hold them off.
Gus : Hold them off how ?
Shawn : I don't know, I'll think of something, I always do.
Gus : Shawn ?!
Shawn : Just get him out of here he's the one that has to make it!
Gus : I will kill you, Shawn.
Shawn : And I'll give you every opportunity to do that, buddy.
It's the little things like this where you truly see how deep their bond is and how much trust and faith goes into this relationship.
Gus was worried Shawn would get hurt but Shawn tells him to trust him (all while making sure Gus would be safe if he's away from the scene), and Gus does just that. The way Gus threatens to kill him is literally his way of saying 'i know you'll make it out' and Shawn's reply is him reassuring him that he WILL. I seriously just aboslutely love them.

Sherlock & Co memes for the soullll
Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do
Toby Ziegler is actually such a character of all times
he's a brilliant speech writer. he used to run campaigns and never won a single one but somehow still kept finding people to hire him. his father's a mobster (?). his brother's an astronaut. he divorced a congress woman. they divorce cause they cannot have children. she gets pregnant after. he's in love with his best friend. he's probably not. he has game. he has no game. he makes fun of protesters cause they are soft. he may have leaked state secrets. he's the most patriotic man alive.
One of the major ways Elementary stands out from other Holmes adaptations to me is how they wrote Watson. Like it would've been so easy to write her like any other Watson, brilliant, yes, undoubtedly, but forever attached to Sherlock. Watson is there because Sherlock wills it so, because Sherlock needs a rock and because Sherlock Holmes is a man forever in need of a partner. Usually.
But they broke that. They said this is Dr Joan Watson, and she is incandescent and ruthless. She's a surgeon and there's an episode where Sherlock says surgeons have a healthy dose of god complex and you think sure buddy and then Joan threatens Moriarty in the middle of a restaurant and you go, huh. She learns to pick pockets and watches out of boredom. She changed careers over and over again till she found the one that fit. She became a detective and could and would absolutely kill a man and vouch for someone killing a man because it's Sherlock and she loves him very much. She's a partner, in the very literal sense. She kept track of murders as a teenager. She enchanted the most dangerous woman on the planet and EARNED her protection. She's a cancer survivor. She threatens gangs and online hacker conglomerates in free time. She's a mother. She's half of two people who love each other very much. She moved across oceans for him and she would do it again.
