It’s so funny to me that every time Watson stays to help with a case and sits down and gets his gay little notebook out, none of their clients are like “Wait a second. Are you gonna publish all of my personal business in the fucking Strand???”

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
