Let's not forget when Sherlock literally asks him out on a date. Sherlock: We're going out tonight John: I can't, I've got a date Sherlock: What's that? John: It's when two people who like each other go out and have fun Sherlock: Yeah that's what I was saying. 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

"i'll burn the heart out of you" "amazing how fire exposes our priorities" fast foward a couple of years we see john in a bonfire and Sherlock saving him ...I mean...
YES LITERALLY THE FACT THAT JOHN SHAVED HIS FACIAL HAIR WHEN SHERLOCK SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE IT. HE WOULD GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO CHANGE HIS APPEARANCE FOR HIM.
Even Mycroft ships them. And Mycroft knows basically everything about Sherlock. In the first episode, he asks John, if he should expect a happy announcement at the end of the week. He is suprised his brother let someone so close to his heart, as it's not something Sherlock ever even tried. Mycroft asks John to look after Sherlock. He knows that John can convince Sherlock to almost everything if he wants do. In the last episode Mycroft, the most important person in England, is willing to die, so John and Sherlock stay together. If this isn't proof, then I don't know what is.
Also mycroft doesn't trust anyone, and was always skeptical of john in the beginning. But when Sherlock nearly oded in the abominable bride, the look on his face as he *quietly* asks John to look after him. The tiny please. He TRUSTS John to make sure his brother doesn't do something like overdosing.
Also he does make a suggestive comment in the first episode when he asks John to watch Sherlock. Basically summing up to don't worry you don't need to tell me about your sex life with my brother
As a straight cis male, I am chomping at the bit for an openly gay portrayal of Watson and Holmes. I think they are perfectly suited for a raw but fun portrayal of the struggles of hiding such a relationship in the late 1800s-early 1900s. I would prefer to see a sociable, desirable Sherlock that people expect is simply too eccentric to be caught by a woman, while Watson is a traditionally masculine veteran struggling with the repression he had to enforce in himself while in the military. Mary would come in to provide a cover for Watson, helping to keep social suspicions mitigated, and hopefully she would get to be an active participant in the OTP’s antics without coming across as a wet blanket or third wheel.
you could check out The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes... it's an old movie in which sherlock pretends that john is his partner "for a case". I've heard it's pretty good but tbf i haven't watched it so I don't know if it really fits.
unless you want to watch a show you care about tumble down a hill of mind-boggling writing decisions, probably keep it on the never seen. This is coming from a place of love
Hmm..I think John was nervous because he couldn't get out of it..,he just wanted to start a conversation to get to know him better. Maybe he thought something like :"Oh shit,why I'm asking him..??!!" Or something like that. 😊😊😊
Sherlock: _is dying_ Moriarty: Mrs. Huddson would be sad. Sherlock: I shall not hear thee. Moriarty: All of your loved ones would be so heart broken. Sherlock: ya'll hear sumn? Moriarty: John will be in danger and you won't be there- Sherlock: _opens eyes_ oh look what a great day to breathe
When they had the conversation, not yet. By the time John shot the cabbie? YES. And we are forgetting Mycroft..."you met three days ago, you are now sharing a flat and solving crimes together, might there be a happy announcement by the end of the week?"
Hahaha is funny that John has to say that he is not gay all the time. When a man is straight he doesn't need to say it, he just is. Obviously, not John's case
To be fair, from everything we know about Sherlock we sure know he doesn't want to hurt John unless he finds it absolutely necessary (like he thought in TRF), and by telling John that he loves him right before leaving on a suicide mission he'd mess him up pretty badly, especially since Mary has already "won" John (or so Sherlock thinks at least). I believe he contemplates it in that scene, but that he figures it just can't happen.
Which isn't an admission of anything. Why not be a sleuth and stand outside the bedroom window if you really care about others' personal lives. Most people genuinely don't. That even includes LGBTQIA+ people.
This is a petition for the bbc to bring back Sherlock for one final season where John and Sherlock raise Johns daughter together in Baker Street in absolute Sherlock style chaos. And with everyone assuming John and Sherlock are a couple they just one day decide to stop correcting people and then confess their love for each other and live happily ever after as one big happy crime solving family of geniuses.
I was talking to my homophobic mother about some show she was watching and she said “it’s the first show I’ve watched in a while without a gay couple.” At first I was frustrated that she said this but then I realized Mom We’re watching Sherlock together I have never seen her acknowledge LGBT characters And yet... She considers this show to have a same sex couple
We all thought he was gay, even all the homophobes knew along with the gays! When Gays and homophobes agree on something to do with liking the same sex then you know that the thing they agreed on is cold, hard, true facts
When I rewatched s3, I noticed something... When John's visiting Baker Street (two years after Sherlock's "death"), he tells the news to Mrs. Hudson. First, "I'm moving on" and then, "I've met someone" (meaning Mary). Why John would say so in the first place, if he didn't love Sherlock (and you know what I mean). "I'm moving on" would be totally normal. Like, I'm moving on, accepting that Sherlock ain't coming back. But then he says "I've met someone", which makes that first line meaning different, than just "accepting friend's death". That sounds like..."my boyfriend is dead. I've met the love of my life, and I'm finally moving on.". Or when a couple divorces, and then he says "I'm moving on" after X time. And then John says "we're getting married." And then Mrs. Hudson asks "so soon after Sherlock?" and John doesn't deny that, nor even think about that! He just casually says "well, yes", like they would've been together or something!
ahm, yes... It can be see in this way, but you know: the creator of this show never said that wanted to show romance between them. So, in the end, they're just best friends...
I am lucky girl because I ve just watch first time this summer on Netlix whole Sherlock (several times already because I so love it). I CAN'T even imagine what I would do to have to wait between each episode or season.... !!!! Impossible!
Margerita SR me too, actually i knew that I could die for the new seasons so from the beginning I hold myself and didn't watch it. This summer I have and now I hate myself😅
darren motise hey. you don't understand the fact that we have to suffer every 2 years after a cliffhanger. its hard alright? watch it yourself and see how much we gotta suffer when we need to know how sherlock/moriarty survived.
Daily reminder Sherlock always correct people when they are wrong. BUT he DON'T say anything about he and John is not dating when people say that they are a couple.
That scene where they are drunk and John touches Sherlock’s knee and he is like: “I don’t mind” and then they are playing a this game and John says that the person on Sherlock card is “pretty” and the Sherlock says that the name in the card is John
we need asexual representation in media!!! the only ace characters i know of are florence from sex education and jughead from the comics, but then bughead happened in the flaming dumpster that is riverdale
@@gracehuang194 If it's any consolation, I think that Elsa is asexual, too... Disney is just scared to admit it because so many fans want her to be lesbian.
There’s also in The Blind Banker when sherlock says “I need some fresh air, we’re going out tonight.” And John says “actually, I’ve got a date” and Sherlock replies with “a date?” And John says “It’s when two people who like each other go and have fun” or whatever and then Sherlock just says “oh. that’s what I was suggesting”
John said Sherlock was “the most human human being” he had ever known. Jim Kirk said Spock’s soul was “the most human” he had ever encountered in his travels. The similarities between Spock and Sherlock are haunting me. (Edit: I wrote this before it was shown in this video🤣)
Okay, so here’s what I think Sherlock is Demisexual/Demi romantic. He never had a best friend before and thought being so damn in love with your best friend was normal. Then at the wedding he was like “well daaaaaaaaaaaaam I’m in love with that dude but he’s getting married now so....” John is homoflexable, meaning Rare attraction to the opposite sex. He also fell in love with Sherlock but had *internalized homophobia*™️. Then he thought Sherlock was dead and fell in love with Mary. So In short, their both in love with each other and I spend way to much time over analyzing this show.
sai Indurthi Irene was more like someone to mess around with I guess. At some point, I started shipping johnlock and was like “Irene move over you’re in the way. YOU TOO MARY. AND MOLLY. AND ANYONE WHO TRIES TO DATE JOHN AND SHERLOCK.”
Here's my theory for the airplane scene: Now, sherlock did have that build-up and it did seem like he was about to confess his love and that's because he w a s but he had second thoughts and didn't. Now, that's either because he'd rather not ruin John's relationship with Mary and make sure he doesn't mourn him more than he already would if he did die on his little mission OR because he was struck with sudden determination to survive or thought 'what if I do survive? I would ruin this friendship' and soooo he just said something random. Though not something too random because if they (John and Mary) were to name their child Sherlock, the full name would be Sherlock Watson :)
If you think there's a lot of eye sex here, you should see the way Holmes looks at Watson in the Granada adaptation. Hoo boy! Sherlock Holmes has never been straight.
Watson mentioned in the story "The greek interpreter: "His aversion against the female gender and against new friendships were significant for his somewhat uncomfortable character." Of course I agree with you. Sherlock Holmes was never straight.
In the books, John mentions several times that Sherlock hates women/ has a strong aversion to women. Yet, it is clear from his anger, however much anger Sherlock shows, when he sees men abuse women that he doesn't actually hate women. So I think that means he doesn't like them, but not not like them as people but as possible romantic/ sexual partners. That alone is sufficient evidence, in my opinion, that Sherlock was never even intended to be straight. There are points in John and Sherlock's relationship which I take as 'in love' which some might take as 'besties forever' but I think we can all agree that Sherlock was never meant to be straight, not even in the ye olden times where being gay was really dangerous.
Moriarty: I will burn the HEART out of you. Sherlock: I have been reliably informed I don't have one Moriarty: but we both know that's not true ... (Next season) Moriarty (Tries to set John on fire) I mean take it as you will.
Even Mike ships them. He wrote a letter to John for his wedding saying how dare he marry a woman after going through so much trouble to find him a man.
Actually when Sherlock was going to confess to John at season three before he never sees him again, he say " Sherlock is actually a girl's name". Not because he regretted confessing, was because he wanted to see John smiling and laughing for a last time.
Yeah, but you could see the sadness in his eyes when he says "John I want to tell you something.." (idk if I got the line correctly) and the shakyness in his voice so he really meant to confess something. But I totally agree with you, he wanted to see John's smile again cause he was sure he wasn't gonna see him again.
But maybe it was as well for the irony in it. If, I mean if John really uses the name Sherlock, then his daughter will be Sherlock Watson. Just the way Sherlock would be called if he married to John, right? And he suggested this, thinking he won’t ever meet him again in his life, so for the sake of keeping John’s life from being a mess, Sherlock willingly gave up confessing anything. Instead he left, hoping that John will use the name and thus fulfilling his only wish/desire(?) in life.
Sadie Rainbowitz maybe because Cumberbatch was filming Marvel movies and each Sherlock episode is 60 +min like certain complete movies, so yes of course it takes forever.
When Sherlock makes the joke with his own name, I see it as a character ready to confess, but gives up at the last second and makes jokes to calm the tension, so yeah, I think he was almost confessing to John at that moment
John is straight, but he still falls in love with Sherlock. Irene is lesbian but falls in love with Sherlock. Sherlock is asexual but is in love with John. John and Sherlock are soulmates. They will always be home to each other when the world falls down around them. And Sherlock pretending he was okay with John marrying someone else, that is the ultimate sacrifice. He loves John SO much, that he wants him to be happy, even if it isn't with him. Sherlock, who is usually selfish and blunt and unkind, purposely refuses to tell John he loves him, because he knows he waited too long, and John has someone else, and he doesnt want to destroy anyone's relationship, including his and John's. John truly was his heart.
Or how when they stop seeing each other after the marriage, when asked, John says he hasn't seen Sherlock "...in forever." Mary corrects him, "It's been a month." To John, the time apart from Sherlock is agonizingly long.
@@prakash-fn6cx Honestly. I don't know if it's bad writing, but Season 4 was a slap to the face (and sure I liked some points but that One Point made me so angry) and Mary's death??? Just like that???
@@forestgreenking so true and even the scene was so underwhelming. No one was crying and the cause of her death was very unsatisfactory I mean looking at the plot and her personality and background. Maybe they were trying to make it less dramatic as possible but it turned out to be way too less dramatic.
@@prakash-fn6cx I think it's because we know she'd die, but not that abruptly; I just finished my first (and probably only, lol) viewing of Sherlock, and Mary's death made me laugh out loud. There was so much going that should be happening but it didn't for some reason, and bear with me because I didn't really get back to it: -Mary jumping in front of a bullet was time to the bullet shot, not the gun raised; if it was raised, then her jumping would be...understandable. -Which isn't because she's an ex-assassin who knows how to shove a man down to protect both of them (or at least, be grazed by the bullet) -John the Army Doctor who apparently forgot everything that should be done to help save a person's life from a bullet wound. (Sherlock lived in the same bullet hit, didn't he?) -Mycroft and his crew without any first-aid? Lestrade and the police without any aid? Nothing? No? -John just appearing actually lol. And John's reaction, "You made a vow"? Hilariously misplaced OOC (this is another that I hate besides Cheating Watson, which is haphazardly emotional Watson) Just. Man. I don't know. It's just really, really sad that this is how it went for Mary, and her weird cameos in the next eps.
when john said “i’m not gay”, irene said “well, i am”. we know irene is attracted to sherlock so she means i am gay but i like him and you are not gay but you like him.
Sherlock and Watson have prolonged eye contact once and everyone thinks they are gay whilst I literly had a lesbian flag on my wall, went to a gay pride parade and wore a suit to my school ball and my mum still didn't know I was gay until I was 18 and told her and she was surprised, like genuinely surprised and then I told her about the literal trail of gay I was leaving and she thought I was just really good friends with that openly gay girl that I was " friends " with...
Also Sherlock knows “only the important facts” which is why be doesn’t know the earth revolves around the sun. Yet he knows the most popular brand of gay underwear and that John doesn’t take sugar in his coffee
There was also that bit where John defines "date" as "where two people who like each other go out and have fun" and Sherlock says "That's what I was suggesting"
I adore them together and it was just a bit too painfully obvious that clearly they are soulmates which is why it surprised me to find out the actors didn't actually like each other very much? Crazy how their characters had so much tension but the actors themselves didn't even want to be friends.
@@mouhiazeck Is it because people shipped the people together too? As in Ben and Martin and not just Sherlock and Watson? If I recall correctly, that's what happened with Harry and Zayn or Louis of one direction too.
@@Saphia_ no, i think they couldn't stand each other anymore. but i'm not sure if that was true or simply a false narrative to create unnecessary drama.
It's so crazy how much ideas have changed since 2016. This video didn't seem out of place at all in fandom back then but now in 2023 I can't help but look at this series (sherlock not the youtube channel) with malice. The way that you just shrug aside the runway scene when now I watch it and all I can think is "fuck you fuck you fuck you". They did it all from day one the whole johnlock dinner scene is designed to make gay people (and women) excited and then the show turns around and acts like it didn't want us watching in the first place. It all just makes me really sad now but this is still a wonderful video. Even through all the terrible queerbaiting of this show the shining light IS the fandom who took that and said "no this is how it's gonna go" and made the queerness an inextricable part of the ideal of the show.
The producers said the TV series was based on the movie, "The Secret Life of Sherlock Holmes" in which he is obviously gay but there is no happy "they get together" ending. Did you expect the TV series would be different? How is that queerbaiting?
@@druidriley3163 it has nothing to do with what I expected. I never thought the series was going to actually be gay but it is bait when they write it like that because they know gay people are watching. The "Sherlock is a girls name" scene in particular is written and framed like a love confession but in the end it does become a big fuck you to the audience. The scene in that fanfiction episode where the one girl theorizes that sherlock and moriarty were secret lovers who kissed before sherlock died was a big fuck you to any fans who did think like that because everyone in the show laughed at her. This has nothing to do with whether or not I specifically ship johnlock these are just real instances of the writers and producers making fun of their gay audiences for wanting something more, while they continued to write sherlock and John as kinda gay.
@@Femslashspuffy So is it 'straight baiting' when they have opposite genders be attracted to each other but they don't act on it? *the one girl theorizes that sherlock and moriarty were secret lovers who kissed before sherlock died was a big fuck you to any fans who did think like that* Moffat is a known misogynist. I think that's what that was. His version of The Woman who outsmarts Sherlock Holmes Irene Adler was a big Fuck You to all the female fans. Moffat knew damn well that all the female fans would be Mary Sue-ing themselves into her character. Before the episode aired, there were all sorts of theories about who she was - American, of course, highly educated, maybe ethnic, a scientist like him involved in genetic engineering cabals or maybe a business woman involved in high stakes cutthroat business dealings. She would be able to hold her own and take care of herself. Instead, Moffat made her British, a cheap, sex worker, on the run, needing help, with zero morals, zero ethics, a blackmailer who happily worked with murderers and terrorists, who mocked Sherlock when she thought she had the upper hand only to coo, “I was just foolin’.” When he figured out her password and she needed to be saved again. I hate that episode with a passion and that’s The Woman this franchise will always be stuck with.🤬
People never talk about this but when John says to Irene : "I'm not actually gay" she answers "well I am and look at us both" and it shows Sherlock is their exception ? And after that John doesn't correct her ? LIKE ? AM I ALONE ON THIS ?
No, nonono, please don't do this - Irene was not in love with Sherlock, she was scared and desperate and used him. They ended up respecting and, in a way, care for each other by the end of the episode, but they were never in love. John is bisexual and in love with Sherlock, Irene is a lesbian and she never was! The "look at us both" refers to them PRETENDING that they have different feelings for him than what they actually have.
@@like-a-linda7058 but Sherlock did mention how her pulse was racing when she touched him and when his name was her hard drives passcode he tells her how love became her weakness. She did have something for him though.
@@anuinam we were shown a racing puls twice in she show, the other time it was Ms. Hudson. Tell me, was she also in love with Sherlock? No, she was scared. Why would they draw this parallel if not to give us a hint towards Irene's true motivation? About the sher-locked, that one I admit can be interpreted in multiple ways, but I believe the explanation that she went overboard and used what she thought was Sherlocks greatest problem in his analysing (namely that he never realises when people do things because they care about/love him, e.g. Molly's gift on Christmas) against him. She thought he would never suspect she had feelings for him, even though she played it like that, because he has been blind to other people's actual love the whole time. She did misjudge him though and the moment she says "it was just a game, all of it" is the moment she looks most scared and sincere in the whole episode, besides her "give it back" when Sherlock has her phone.
I got this from a post online but: John's reaction to Irene's nudity: "could you please put some clothes on?" John's reaction to Sherlock's nudity: *glances down at Sherlock's lap*
funny story: when I was in closet, I used the exact 'I'm not gay' response John did... I started using it before I watched the show, but take from that what you will.
idk if i want them to stay platonic to show a healthy close male friendship without any toxic masculinity/insecurities or if i want them to be in a romantic relationship cause we need more lgbtq+ representation in media
My dissapointmemt when i found out they weren't canon was massive. The show implied it so much that i started getting excited waiting for them to become a couple.
They had absolutely NO reason to add "Like me" to his lines. We could have understood it and moved on just fine, but they DID IT and there's no way to explain that! NONE at ALL! *At least, not in a straight way.*
If the worlds only and best consulting detective, says they're flattered and thought you were flirting, or something like that. You ain't hiding it well
*officially, as in, Sherlock officially acknowledges that Watson is his friend, not a flatmate, or an army doctor he drags around with him, but a cherished friend and deeply felt emotional connection. A vulnerability that he swore he would always live without. The scene in Baskerville was John showing that there was only so much of Sherlock ignoring and insulting him he would tolerate, because he is his friend and has been since day one, and Sherlock making himself emotionally vulnerable, and admitting that John is important to him as apology.
If i remember correctly in Baskerville when John was checking in they didn't had 2 separate rooms, so they had to share one. 🤔 *caughts* i think they had sex *caughts* Still in S2E2 when the bartender's husband asked if his bf (Sherlock) snorts too he just ignored the question.
Guys come on. Everyone ships Johnlock. Mrs. Hudson, Mary, Irene Adler, that one christmas girlfriend ( when John thought she had a dog), basically EVERYONE. There`s no need to discuss this. I mean, Sherlock is definetely gay and he never denied it even though he always corrects everyone`s mistakes. So why would he not correct everyone if he isn`t gay?? And about John...I`m sure he is bisexual. Just look at their intense EYE SEX and tell me again that John Hamish Watson is not totally in love with Sherlock Holmes. Or maybe he`s just holmosexual ;) (credits to the person that came up with the holmosexual, thank you for that *~*)
Actually Mary (when John watches the tape she left before she died)tells him to take care of sherlock,"man we both LOVE". Made me feel like even Mary knew
The many ways to say "I love you,": "Ily" "I'm romantically interested in you and your specific personality" "You are physically and emotionally interesting in a romantic way" " Sherlock is a girl's name" Edit: woah this got a lot of likes, thanks
They love each other without doubt, it is more than friendship, it is even above romantic relationship. They adore and honor each other, have loads of fun together, can kill and die for each other, labeling their relationship probably would not work since these two people are just too unique. They are not ordinary people, so they are having an extraordinary relationship in its unique forms. I m good to just take that and admire how much two human beings can love each other to this depths. And the way they spend time together? Yes super gay to people’s eyes, I mean ppl in the show. They live together and basically stick together all the time on or off cases, I am not surprised that ppl in the show assume they are a couple. But again, it is a unique relationship and should not be defined in any ways.
Yes, but the last few episodes made me wonder whether John even cares about Sherlock. And to be honest I can give away everything to experience the kind of relationship that they have between them.
Additionally, Sherlock took John's computer without his permission and when John asked why he didn't use his, Sherlock responded : Mine was in the bedroom. In THE bedroom. Not MY bedroom, THE bedroom. Not saying they share a bedroom or anything but they totally do.
One time Mrs Hudson called after the 'boys' and it was in one direction (I think Sherlock's bedroom)...John's or lets say the second bedroom would have been upstairs
+My name's Whatsername as she said: Asexuals can develope a romantic attraction to another human being (I can confirm this as an actual asexual and polyromantic)
+LegendaryLifeOfLena So Sherlock could still be a homoromantic asexual. I could definitely see that; although personally, I think Johnlock is a queerbait. :( It took me a while to figure out that I'm biromantic asexual. For a long time, I thought I was just bisexual.
My name's Whatsername Well I'm a total Johnlock-shipper (OTP and stuff) but I get your point I needed a really long time to understand too. I thought I was just a bisexual either. Didn't quite work out well :D
+LegendaryLifeOfLena Nope. And I felt that one of my friends ( they're bisexual and agender) got their hopes up when I told them I was bi too. I felt so bad; they had a crush on me for all of 9th grade.
I was watching Sherlock with my parents (they're certainly not homophobic or anything but generally don't pick up on gay subtext) a while back and my dad said "You know, they totally could be gay" and went on to explain his reasoning. I then said "Well Sherlock is probably gay, but I don't think John is" (meaning he's bi or pan or omni or poly or something) and my mom said "Well that's like saying Bert is gay, but Ernie certainly isn't". And I just. Wow.

Is anyone going to address the fact that Sherlock follows John literally everywhere.
I think it's the other way around tbh but yeah
Sherlock is a lost puppy.
Even Mycroft ships them. And Mycroft knows basically everything about Sherlock. In the first episode, he asks John, if he should expect a happy announcement at the end of the week. He is suprised his brother let someone so close to his heart, as it's not something Sherlock ever even tried.
Mycroft asks John to look after Sherlock. He knows that John can convince Sherlock to almost everything if he wants do.
In the last episode Mycroft, the most important person in England, is willing to die, so John and Sherlock stay together.
If this isn't proof, then I don't know what is.
so you saw the last episode and still ship them? how
Mycroft is the biggest Johnlock shipper, just after Mrs. Hudson, Mary and Moriarty.

Also he does make a suggestive comment in the first episode when he asks John to watch Sherlock. Basically summing up to don't worry you don't need to tell me about your sex life with my brother
"what's his name?" "It's a woman." "a wOmAn?!" "jEs Of cOurSe iT's A wOmAn"

As a straight cis male, I am chomping at the bit for an openly gay portrayal of Watson and Holmes. I think they are perfectly suited for a raw but fun portrayal of the struggles of hiding such a relationship in the late 1800s-early 1900s. I would prefer to see a sociable, desirable Sherlock that people expect is simply too eccentric to be caught by a woman, while Watson is a traditionally masculine veteran struggling with the repression he had to enforce in himself while in the military. Mary would come in to provide a cover for Watson, helping to keep social suspicions mitigated, and hopefully she would get to be an active participant in the OTP’s antics without coming across as a wet blanket or third wheel.
i love this
you could check out The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes... it's an old movie in which sherlock pretends that john is his partner "for a case". I've heard it's pretty good but tbf i haven't watched it so I don't know if it really fits.
As a reader , this is my interpretation , too .
Me: **has never watched or heard about this show**
Also me: Ah, yes, my new favourite ship.
This is too relatable
unless you want to watch a show you care about tumble down a hill of mind-boggling writing decisions, probably keep it on the never seen.

There are many ways to say 'I love you.'
'Sherlock is actually a girls name.'
yeah
Yeah :3
._. u just convinced me even more.
Johnlock is so fuckin' real!
To be fair, from everything we know about Sherlock we sure know he
doesn't want to hurt John unless he finds it absolutely necessary (like he thought in TRF), and by telling John that he loves him right before leaving on a suicide mission he'd mess him up pretty badly, especially since Mary has already "won" John (or so Sherlock thinks at least). I believe he contemplates it in that scene, but that he figures
it just can't happen.

This is a petition for the bbc to bring back Sherlock for one final season where John and Sherlock raise Johns daughter together in Baker Street in absolute Sherlock style chaos. And with everyone assuming John and Sherlock are a couple they just one day decide to stop correcting people and then confess their love for each other and live happily ever after as one big happy crime solving family of geniuses.

best quote
When I rewatched s3, I noticed something...
When John's visiting Baker Street (two years after Sherlock's "death"), he tells the news to Mrs. Hudson. First, "I'm moving on" and then, "I've met someone" (meaning Mary). Why John would say so in the first place, if he didn't love Sherlock (and you know what I mean). "I'm moving on" would be totally normal. Like, I'm moving on, accepting that Sherlock ain't coming back. But then he says "I've met someone", which makes that first line meaning different, than just "accepting friend's death". That sounds like..."my boyfriend is dead. I've met the love of my life, and I'm finally moving on.". Or when a couple divorces, and then he says "I'm moving on" after X time.
And then John says "we're getting married." And then Mrs. Hudson asks "so soon after Sherlock?" and John doesn't deny that, nor even think about that! He just casually says "well, yes", like they would've been together or something!
ahm, yes... It can be see in this way, but you know: the creator of this show never said that wanted to show romance between them. So, in the end, they're just best friends...
Yessss
i do ship them, but I think in that case Sherlock's death was just a traumatic experience

well, I should have taken an example of the Blind Banker episode when Sherlock basically was going to ask John out for a possible date.

John said Sherlock was “the most human human being” he had ever known.
Jim Kirk said Spock’s soul was “the most human” he had ever encountered in his travels.
The similarities between Spock and Sherlock are haunting me.

Spock is actually canonically a descendant of Sir Arthur Conon Doyle
@@crystalwolcott4744 I know!! I read that some time ago and it's freaking mindblowing🤣
Also if I remember correctly, John called Sherlock Spock somewhere in season 1 or 2
Okay, so here’s what I think
Sherlock is Demisexual/Demi romantic. He never had a best friend before and thought being so damn in love with your best friend was normal. Then at the wedding he was like “well daaaaaaaaaaaaam I’m in love with that dude but he’s getting married now so....”
John is homoflexable, meaning Rare attraction to the opposite sex. He also fell in love with Sherlock but had *internalized homophobia*™️. Then he thought Sherlock was dead and fell in love with Mary.
So In short, their both in love with each other and I spend way to much time over
analyzing this show.

@@hello-yp3kz lollll same
Hey, what a cool video. Sure hope noone plagiarises it.
Here's my theory for the airplane scene:
Now, sherlock did have that build-up and it did seem like he was about to confess his love and that's because he w a s but he had second thoughts and didn't. Now, that's either because he'd rather not ruin John's relationship with Mary and make sure he doesn't mourn him more than he already would if he did die on his little mission OR because he was struck with sudden determination to survive or thought 'what if I do survive? I would ruin this friendship' and soooo he just said something random. Though not something too random because if they (John and Mary) were to name their child Sherlock, the full name would be Sherlock Watson :)
Lol yeah I think sherlock gay panicked in the aeroplane scene

Oookaaaay,I see what you did here👁👁
If you think there's a lot of eye sex here, you should see the way Holmes looks at Watson in the Granada adaptation. Hoo boy! Sherlock Holmes has never been straight.
Watson mentioned in the story "The greek interpreter: "His aversion against the female gender and against new friendships were significant for his somewhat uncomfortable character."
Of course I agree with you. Sherlock Holmes was never straight.
In the books, John mentions several times that Sherlock hates women/ has a strong aversion to women. Yet, it is clear from his anger, however much anger Sherlock shows, when he sees men abuse women that he doesn't actually hate women. So I think that means he doesn't like them, but not not like them as people but as possible romantic/ sexual partners. That alone is sufficient evidence, in my opinion, that Sherlock was never even intended to be straight.
There are points in John and Sherlock's relationship which I take as 'in love' which some might take as 'besties forever' but I think we can all agree that Sherlock was never meant to be straight, not even in the ye olden times where being gay was really dangerous.

@@nieveorirlniamh
Jees. Totaly agree !! xD
I agree!
I feel like Sherlock is probably demisexual and biromantic or something
Actually when Sherlock was going to confess to John at season three before he never sees him again, he say " Sherlock is actually a girl's name". Not because he regretted confessing, was because he wanted to see John smiling and laughing for a last time.
This is exactly what I assumed the first time I watched that scene 🤧🤧💕
Yeah, but you could see the sadness in his eyes when he says "John I want to tell you something.." (idk if I got the line correctly) and the shakyness in his voice so he really meant to confess something.
But I totally agree with you, he wanted to see John's smile again cause he was sure he wasn't gonna see him again.
why would you even do that to my heart
shit, i wanna cry now
But maybe it was as well for the irony in it. If, I mean if John really uses the name Sherlock, then his daughter will be Sherlock Watson. Just the way Sherlock would be called if he married to John, right? And he suggested this, thinking he won’t ever meet him again in his life, so for the sake of keeping John’s life from being a mess, Sherlock willingly gave up confessing anything. Instead he left, hoping that John will use the name and thus fulfilling his only wish/desire(?) in life.
idc if its platonic or romantic, theyre soulmates and I love them.
*John Hamish Watson. You're so deep in the closet you're gonna end up in Narnia.*

Sherlock to Sherlock: John will be sad lol
It’s literally the Kermit meme

"Well there's one question that the whole fandom keeps asking, WHY THE HELL IS THERE ONLY THREE EPISODES EVERY THREE HUNDRED YEARS!" same
YES
Sadie Rainbowitz maybe because Cumberbatch was filming Marvel movies and each Sherlock episode is 60 +min like certain complete movies, so yes of course it takes forever.
When Sherlock makes the joke with his own name, I see it as a character ready to confess, but gives up at the last second and makes jokes to calm the tension, so yeah, I think he was almost confessing to John at that moment
YES
John is straight, but he still falls in love with Sherlock. Irene is lesbian but falls in love with Sherlock. Sherlock is asexual but is in love with John. John and Sherlock are soulmates. They will always be home to each other when the world falls down around them. And Sherlock pretending he was okay with John marrying someone else, that is the ultimate sacrifice. He loves John SO much, that he wants him to be happy, even if it isn't with him. Sherlock, who is usually selfish and blunt and unkind, purposely refuses to tell John he loves him, because he knows he waited too long, and John has someone else, and he doesnt want to destroy anyone's relationship, including his and John's. John truly was his heart.
Are we not gonna talk about how he didn’t get over Sherlock in years but got over Mary in like a few months...
Or how when they stop seeing each other after the marriage, when asked, John says he hasn't seen Sherlock "...in forever." Mary corrects him, "It's been a month." To John, the time apart from Sherlock is agonizingly long.
yeahh like her death was so underwhelming
@@prakash-fn6cx Honestly. I don't know if it's bad writing, but Season 4 was a slap to the face (and sure I liked some points but that One Point made me so angry) and Mary's death??? Just like that???
@@forestgreenking so true and even the scene was so underwhelming. No one was crying and the cause of her death was very unsatisfactory I mean looking at the plot and her personality and background. Maybe they were trying to make it less dramatic as possible but it turned out to be way too less dramatic.
@@prakash-fn6cx I think it's because we know she'd die, but not that abruptly; I just finished my first (and probably only, lol) viewing of Sherlock, and Mary's death made me laugh out loud. There was so much going that should be happening but it didn't for some reason, and bear with me because I didn't really get back to it:
-Mary jumping in front of a bullet was time to the bullet shot, not the gun raised; if it was raised, then her jumping would be...understandable.
-Which isn't because she's an ex-assassin who knows how to shove a man down to protect both of them (or at least, be grazed by the bullet)
-John the Army Doctor who apparently forgot everything that should be done to help save a person's life from a bullet wound. (Sherlock lived in the same bullet hit, didn't he?)
-Mycroft and his crew without any first-aid? Lestrade and the police without any aid? Nothing? No?
-John just appearing actually lol. And John's reaction, "You made a vow"? Hilariously misplaced OOC (this is another that I hate besides Cheating Watson, which is haphazardly emotional Watson)
Just. Man. I don't know. It's just really, really sad that this is how it went for Mary, and her weird cameos in the next eps.
Well when Sherlock "rejects" John he doesn't say they can't date him because he's not interested in men, but just because he's busy...

It's so crazy how much ideas have changed since 2016. This video didn't seem out of place at all in fandom back then but now in 2023 I can't help but look at this series (sherlock not the youtube channel) with malice. The way that you just shrug aside the runway scene when now I watch it and all I can think is "fuck you fuck you fuck you". They did it all from day one the whole johnlock dinner scene is designed to make gay people (and women) excited and then the show turns around and acts like it didn't want us watching in the first place. It all just makes me really sad now but this is still a wonderful video. Even through all the terrible queerbaiting of this show the shining light IS the fandom who took that and said "no this is how it's gonna go" and made the queerness an inextricable part of the ideal of the show.
The producers said the TV series was based on the movie, "The Secret Life of Sherlock Holmes" in which he is obviously gay but there is no happy "they get together" ending. Did you expect the TV series would be different? How is that queerbaiting?
@@druidriley3163 it has nothing to do with what I expected. I never thought the series was going to actually be gay but it is bait when they write it like that because they know gay people are watching. The "Sherlock is a girls name" scene in particular is written and framed like a love confession but in the end it does become a big fuck you to the audience. The scene in that fanfiction episode where the one girl theorizes that sherlock and moriarty were secret lovers who kissed before sherlock died was a big fuck you to any fans who did think like that because everyone in the show laughed at her. This has nothing to do with whether or not I specifically ship johnlock these are just real instances of the writers and producers making fun of their gay audiences for wanting something more, while they continued to write sherlock and John as kinda gay.
@@Femslashspuffy So is it 'straight baiting' when they have opposite genders be attracted to each other but they don't act on it? *the one girl theorizes that sherlock and moriarty were secret lovers who kissed before sherlock died was a big fuck you to any fans who did think like that* Moffat is a known misogynist. I think that's what that was. His version of The Woman who outsmarts Sherlock Holmes Irene Adler was a big Fuck You to all the female fans. Moffat knew damn well that all the female fans would be Mary Sue-ing themselves into her character. Before the episode aired, there were all sorts of theories about who she was - American, of course,
highly educated, maybe ethnic, a scientist like him involved in genetic engineering cabals or maybe a business woman involved in high stakes cutthroat business dealings. She would be able to hold her own and take care of herself. Instead, Moffat made her British, a cheap, sex worker, on the run, needing help, with zero morals, zero ethics, a blackmailer who happily worked with murderers and terrorists, who mocked Sherlock when she thought she had the upper hand only to coo, “I was just foolin’.” When he figured out her password and she needed to be saved again. I hate that episode with a passion and that’s The Woman this franchise will always be stuck with.🤬
People never talk about this but when John says to Irene : "I'm not actually gay" she answers "well I am and look at us both" and it shows Sherlock is their exception ? And after that John doesn't correct her ? LIKE ? AM I ALONE ON THIS ?
also the "actually" there. why he'd put the actually there? like, boy, i'm not actually straight either, but i've had a boyfriend for two years
Seriously, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THAT??
No, nonono, please don't do this - Irene was not in love with Sherlock, she was scared and desperate and used him. They ended up respecting and, in a way, care for each other by the end of the episode, but they were never in love. John is bisexual and in love with Sherlock, Irene is a lesbian and she never was! The "look at us both" refers to them PRETENDING that they have different feelings for him than what they actually have.
@@like-a-linda7058 but Sherlock did mention how her pulse was racing when she touched him and when his name was her hard drives passcode he tells her how love became her weakness. She did have something for him though.
@@anuinam we were shown a racing puls twice in she show, the other time it was Ms. Hudson. Tell me, was she also in love with Sherlock? No, she was scared. Why would they draw this parallel if not to give us a hint towards Irene's true motivation? About the sher-locked, that one I admit can be interpreted in multiple ways, but I believe the explanation that she went overboard and used what she thought was Sherlocks greatest problem in his analysing (namely that he never realises when people do things because they care about/love him, e.g. Molly's gift on Christmas) against him. She thought he would never suspect she had feelings for him, even though she played it like that, because he has been blind to other people's actual love the whole time. She did misjudge him though and the moment she says "it was just a game, all of it" is the moment she looks most scared and sincere in the whole episode, besides her "give it back" when Sherlock has her phone.
I got this from a post online but:
John's reaction to Irene's nudity: "could you please put some clothes on?"
John's reaction to Sherlock's nudity: *glances down at Sherlock's lap*
Hahhaa, Don't blame him xd
˙͜ >˙
"Are you wearing any pants?"
"No..."
"Okay."
He checking to see if he should be jealous/intimidated
i'm literally wheezing rn
7 years later... ouch
Me rn
Bruh i am old(i am literally 17 but still i am really old)
funny story: when I was in closet, I used the exact 'I'm not gay' response John did... I started using it before I watched the show, but take from that what you will.
Sherlock: I don't have... *friends*
John: Nah.
" *Na* , the element coming out of John's eyes"
I DIED
SAME😂😂😂
for all the confused people out there...
Na is the element Sodium (Salt)
and tears are salty lmao
Well technically sodium isn’t salt but when you add chloride into the mix it becomes NaCl which in fact is salt
sodium(fortunately i've paid attention in my science class)
Also:
“Who is this Juan?“
My brain: it's been 3 years.. let it go, plea-
Me: *no*
Never letting go
Same 😭😭
S A M E
Same
Pls there taking it off of Netflix 😭✋
idk if i want them to stay platonic to show a healthy close male friendship without any toxic masculinity/insecurities or if i want them to be in a romantic relationship cause we need more lgbtq+ representation in media
My dissapointmemt when i found out they weren't canon was massive.
The show implied it so much that i started getting excited waiting for them to become a couple.
are we just gonna ignore that, after asking if Sherlock had a boyfriend, John basically said "So you're single, like me." and if that isn't flirting--
I think he actually says your unattached, like me
he also says
"alright, good"
he also says "alright, good"
They had absolutely NO reason to add "Like me" to his lines. We could have understood it and moved on just fine, but they DID IT and there's no way to explain that! NONE at ALL!
*At least, not in a straight way.*
If the worlds only and best consulting detective, says they're flattered and thought you were flirting, or something like that. You ain't hiding it well
"when they finally become friends in baskervilles"- i thought they became friends in season 1 episode 1 when john killed a man for sherlock
You’re not wrong 😂
Or when Sherlock literally called John his friend in the 2nd episode
they are friends but they dont actually assume it
*officially, as in, Sherlock officially acknowledges that Watson is his friend, not a flatmate, or an army doctor he drags around with him, but a cherished friend and deeply felt emotional connection. A vulnerability that he swore he would always live without.
The scene in Baskerville was John showing that there was only so much of Sherlock ignoring and insulting him he would tolerate, because he is his friend and has been since day one, and Sherlock making himself emotionally vulnerable, and admitting that John is important to him as apology.
If i remember correctly in Baskerville when John was checking in they didn't had 2 separate rooms, so they had to share one. 🤔
*caughts* i think they had sex *caughts*
Still in S2E2 when the bartender's husband asked if his bf (Sherlock) snorts too he just ignored the question.
Guys come on. Everyone ships Johnlock. Mrs. Hudson, Mary, Irene Adler, that one christmas girlfriend ( when John thought she had a dog), basically EVERYONE. There`s no need to discuss this. I mean, Sherlock is definetely gay and he never denied it even though he always corrects everyone`s mistakes. So why would he not correct everyone if he isn`t gay?? And about John...I`m sure he is bisexual. Just look at their intense EYE SEX and tell me again that John Hamish Watson is not totally in love with Sherlock Holmes. Or maybe he`s just holmosexual ;)
(credits to the person that came up with the holmosexual, thank you for that *~*)
15:18 *gay recognizes gay*
Let's not forget what Mary's friend said to Sherlock at the wedding: I wish you weren't... whatever it is you are.
Actually Mary (when John watches the tape she left before she died)tells him to take care of sherlock,"man we both LOVE". Made me feel like even Mary knew
Mary was married to John and she _still_ shipped him with Sherlock. If that's not dedication to your OTP I don't know what is XD
DUDE SHE BASICALLY SHIPPED THEM
The many ways to say "I love you,":
"Ily"
"I'm romantically interested in you and your specific personality"
"You are physically and emotionally interesting in a romantic way"
" Sherlock is a girl's name"
Edit: woah this got a lot of likes, thanks
MCR IS BACK xD
I ship Drarry and included in my list of this is
“POTTAH!”
Yep. That’s me.
Love your username
yEs
Ha
They love each other without doubt, it is more than friendship, it is even above romantic relationship. They adore and honor each other, have loads of fun together, can kill and die for each other, labeling their relationship probably would not work since these two people are just too unique. They are not ordinary people, so they are having an extraordinary relationship in its unique forms. I m good to just take that and admire how much two human beings can love each other to this depths.
And the way they spend time together? Yes super gay to people’s eyes, I mean ppl in the show. They live together and basically stick together all the time on or off cases, I am not surprised that ppl in the show assume they are a couple. But again, it is a unique relationship and should not be defined in any ways.
Yes, but the last few episodes made me wonder whether John even cares about Sherlock.
And to be honest I can give away everything to experience the kind of relationship that they have between them.
you know it's bad when watson's WIFE ships him with sherlock
John: I'm not gay, I'm straight.
John: *Sees Sherlock* I'm Bendy?
S H O L T O
John is bi. He's had relationships with men before.
John had relationship with men?
Who? How?
and the ink machine
I'M BENDY.
And im... ALICE
Short answer: Yes
Long Answer: 0:00 - 19:49
Yes.
Yes yes and yes!!!
Lmao perfect
Y e s.
So also yes
It's been 7 years since this video was posted and I just re-re-watched it again 💀
Additionally, Sherlock took John's computer without his permission and when John asked why he didn't use his, Sherlock responded : Mine was in the bedroom. In THE bedroom. Not MY bedroom, THE bedroom.
Not saying they share a bedroom or anything but they totally do.
One time Mrs Hudson called after the 'boys' and it was in one direction (I think Sherlock's bedroom)...John's or lets say the second bedroom would have been upstairs
@@minafuchs2978 Oh yeah, I remember that! Wow, that's a good observation.
I am not saying that they are gay
They are just gay
Even if Sherlock is asexual he can still be romantically attracted to John
There is nothing anyone can say that will make me think Sherlock is not asexual.
+My name's Whatsername as she said: Asexuals can develope a romantic attraction to another human being (I can confirm this as an actual asexual and polyromantic)
+LegendaryLifeOfLena So Sherlock could still be a homoromantic asexual. I could definitely see that; although personally, I think Johnlock is a queerbait. :(
It took me a while to figure out that I'm biromantic asexual. For a long time, I thought I was just bisexual.
My name's Whatsername
Well I'm a total Johnlock-shipper (OTP and stuff) but I get your point
I needed a really long time to understand too. I thought I was just a bisexual either. Didn't quite work out well :D
+LegendaryLifeOfLena Nope. And I felt that one of my friends ( they're bisexual and agender) got their hopes up when I told them I was bi too. I felt so bad; they had a crush on me for all of 9th grade.
*Scotland Yard Meeting
ANDERSON: Sherlock is clearly gay.
LESTRADE: Same with John.
LESTRADE: CASE CLOSED
*throws file out of the window
It'd be fuckin awesome to barge in the Scotland yard meeting and actually see that happening XD lol
"A case so simple even Lestrade could solve it."
@@Laura.Kramer I think you mean that Anderson could solve it.
@@anniewalker7840 it's a quote from the show. I meant it :)
I'm laughing way too hard at this 😂😂
Sherlock making John laugh when he thought they won't meet for a long time is just... Wow, okay. There are tears.
I was watching Sherlock with my parents (they're certainly not homophobic or anything but generally don't pick up on gay subtext) a while back and my dad said "You know, they totally could be gay" and went on to explain his reasoning. I then said "Well Sherlock is probably gay, but I don't think John is" (meaning he's bi or pan or omni or poly or something) and my mom said "Well that's like saying Bert is gay, but Ernie certainly isn't". And I just. Wow.
