Got done with a quick drawing of (BBC) John Watson for a fic I am working on! I thought these two little drawings came out well. ^^ đź’›
(I didn't really put a background on either or pose John in the first one because it was supposed to be a basic character concept art piece. The image quality may be shit, so I apologise.)
(Yes, the leg pun is intentional. More leg pun bs to come. [:<)
Also, I will be posting the first few chapters of the fic here soon if anyone would like to read it! đź’›
You can find the W.I.P Fic on A03 here ⬇️
I will try and upload as much as I can on it. I hope you enjoy it so far!! đź’›
Just trying to post some of my finished art on here. Here's a picture I drew of Sherlock about a month ago. I hope you enjoy it!!
Fun Fact: in one month (1/1/23), all Sherlock Holmes stories hit the public domain and the Conan Doyle Estate can't do shit! I say this for absolutely no reason but also congrats in advance to the happy couple.
His students know you as their professor's s/o
He's very good at reading people but fails to read you because he's overcome w infatuation
You met Sherlock once and he overanalyzed you so much William stopped him
You always fall asleep when he & Sherlock start talking or when he goes on and on about math (he finds it weirdly cute tho)
Keeps you away from his plans as much as possible
Deep philosophical conversations
Sherlock has threatened you multiple times to never break his friend's heart
You vibe with James Bond/Irene Adler a lot
A lot of train rides that take scenic routes
Calls you his safe space and confidant
He's down for you SO BAD that one touch of your fingertip and this man LITERALLY MELTS
Can't help giving forehead kisses when he finds you asleep
His students often gossip about how their witty professor loses his mind from lovesickness around you
But the students also hope they can have what you both have w their future spouses
Won't initiate physical touch but LOVES it when you do
Doesn't usually make the first move to kiss but will surely leave you panting in the end while smirking about having ✨skills✨
Talks about you to Albert ALL.THE.TIME. Albert just smiles at how cute his little brother looks when he does that
Knows that his students and Moran gossip a lot about you both but doesn't mind at all
Pats your head a lot
Cries everytime his hands are covered w blood not because he took away someone's life.... But the fact that you know his crimes & still love & accept him
Always calm and collected but can lose his cool on rare occasions when it comes to you
Always needs you to hold him till he can fall asleep
DEFINITELY leans a lot on you for support since he feels responsible as the oldest brother
So overprotective it could get a wee bit annoying
Holding hands, sipping wine and sharing comfortable silence on most nights
Informs only as much as needed about the plan, hates to involve you in it
Caught you breaking rules which explains why he fell for you
Knits you lot of sweaters, scarves, caps and gloves (yup he's a knitter read manga)
Starts to work hard at cooking after you tell it could've tasted better (you know about his cooking if you read the manga...)
A TON OF CHEEK KISSES
Winks at you a lot in public to ensure you don't get jealous of his admirers
Effortlessly flirty that makes you shout how he makes your heart race by just... Existing...
Initially very shy because he's popular but had never tried courting anyone ever
He sees you play with children and looks lovingly thinking about marrying you & having children with you
You will have to attend many social gatherings as his +1 and he'll cling to you a lot much to other ladies' annoyance
He seems big but is actually ✨toiny✨ and cuddly
Always begs Fred to let him pick roses from the garden to put in your hair
Emotional intimacy>>>>>> physical
This is beautiful!

Sherlock used to collect bugs as a child. He put them in jars in his room and gave them names. He got incredibly attached to them and cried in secret whenever they died. Mycroft used to steal the dead bugs' bodies to dissect.
Even when he's older, Sherlock still secretly loves bugs, and only Mycroft and John know. And Mrs. Hudson has a suspicion.
Honestly, if anyone could be my enemy, I'd want Moriarty to be because if he were to kill me, at least I'd die laughing because he's such a weirdo. But I'd probably be embarrassed that that absolute freak beat me. LOOK AT THIS WEIRDO
Great. Just when I thought I was settled down with a hyperfixation for another month (Be More Chill), my sister HAS to fangirl over BBC Sherlock, and she HAS to show it to be, and I HAVE to love it way too much.
I was worried that the retired colourman case won’t be as compelling as the others - reduced just to the detective part - but then I was thankfully unceremoniously killed by a gunshot in the heart when sherlock jumped to strangle an old (murderous) man the moment he started laughing at john being blown up.
incomparable experience, would recommend it to everyone. my funeral is on wednesday, you’re all welcomed.
my boy was so damn proud to say this ostentatious nothing when john asked him what did he learnt about the creeping man. just. so shameless and without pardon. imagine sherlock standing there in the middle of the living room with hands on his hips and probably some stupid t-shirt on or barefoot. simply looking forward, gloating in the sense of genius and thinking he’s being so bloody dramatic. nothing as in nothing can stop him. an icon.
oh so first burying oneself under the other’s covers only to emerge asking about shoelaces, then watching the other in their sleep and later flopping on the other’s matress cursing in frustration of unsolved case, but asking deep personal questions about the other’s past and laughing together a while after?
and now waking the other up in the morning with a cup of tea? oh okay sure
what, maybe you’ve even sat on the edge of sherlock’s bed with that tea, john, and looked at him light-heartedly as he was pretending to sleep despite your talking, early sunlight probably splayed on his face and shining warmly on his disheveled hair or whatever? yeah of course why wouldn’t you perform this perfectly platonic activity, just warn me when I should give you both some privacy so that you can present him with a morning kiss alright
I just can’t stop wondering how much we don’t know because we can’t hear it - because of sherlock & co being recorded.
how many times had john rolled his eyes at sherlock when he was being ridiculous, but smiled to himself the moment he turned around? how many times had mariana leaned in the doorway to 221b baker street and silently but fondly watched john and sherlock bickering? how many times sherlock just didn’t say anything when archie climbed on his lap and instead started to scratch behind the dog’s ears?
how many gentle smiles, cheeky grins and warm gazes with sparkling eyes? fingers touching one’s arm, hands on the shoulder or tight hugs? how much affection spread without words?
how much is being not said, left to imagination?
the gloria scott has just properly and unapologetically annihilated me, I’ll be posting about it like my life depends on it as soon as I gather myself after whatever in hell was this
okay okay wait a second
victor trevor interrupting stranger’s conversation just because he heard the name sherlock holmes in it? asking if he has been mentioning him? being the only friend sherlock had in college? remembering that the one kind of pasta he eats is penne and having his own predictions about who sherlock’d be in the future? asking right away if he’d been right? thinking that sherlock of all people was a great laugh? and have I heard being in between boyfriends???
finally, speaking about sherlock with this warm nostalgic tone and always with a bashful laugh hidden behind it? oh my, mister victor trevor, you were in love!
and don’t mind me at all, but I’m having a certain vision - of sherlock and victor in college, victor coming late to their dorm after long evening studying in the library or a night out with friends in a pub, and finding sherlock transfixed on some experiment, of course having gone a whole day without a proper meal. victor complaining loudly about you and your fucked up diet, honestly, sherlock, but at the same time getting ready to go make sherlock some pasta for a late night diner. because did you know this penne with mascarpone and tomato sauce that is the only pasta sherlock eats, is originally a victor’s recipe? and after it’s done, them both sitting on a couch, sherlock eating from a pot - they’re students after all, the dishes are in a big dirty pile in the sink - while victor watches him out of the corner of his eye. then the rest of the evening spend on Sherlock talking about his experiment, some interesting plant or a new deduction, while victor just listens to him with a dreamy expression on his face, because that’s what he has been waiting the whole day for.
and I won’t speculate whether sherlock was in love, too, because the man is a mystery to me, but I do imagine victor calling him after the events of gloria scott, asking if he can come by to baker street to thank properly for solving the case. after sherlock agrees - but invites him over when he knows nor john neither mariana would be home - victor arrives with a shoping bag in hand and, in spite of some attempts at protest close to it’s not necessary, he prepares the penne pasta for sherlock one last time. then all is done and there’s no excuse for him to stay longer, really, so he stands up to say goodbye. quick enough for sherlock to not be able to do anything about it, victor kisses him on the cheek. but he had been watching sherlock during the case and heard enough my dear watson to know that he has lost his chance. so he says simply good luck, sherlock and walks out of baker street.
john would come back to the flat few moments later to find sherlock standing in a doorway, hands holding his cheeks. sherlock being even weirder than usual, john would get worried and trying to pry any information from him, even checking his temperature by a quick touch to the forehead. but as sherlock doesn’t comply, in the end john would just shrug his shoulders and leave him alone, only to become perplexed seconds later, when he enters the kitchen.
because there are leftovers of penne with mascarpone and tomato sauce already on the countertop, while john himself was just about to cook them this same thing for dinner.
victor trevor, the only person sherlock had been at least vaguely friends with in college, just said in front of him and john hamish watson that he’s in between boyfriends and my life has not been the same ever since
yeah so anyway I’ve heard a name victor trevor in the, what, first five minutes of the latest episode and I’m having heart palpitations ever since
Sherlock Holmes at any given moment:
thank the stars it’s sherlock and co tuesday tomorrow because you can be damn sure I need some moral stability in these trying times
John Watson saying you join me and my companion/colleague/friend/flat mate while the only thing I can think of is oh please cut the bullshit.
Companion is already the gayest word in existence and yet you want to salvage yourself by flat mate in a desperate try of not using roommate which is actually nothing more than just the second gayest word in existence and you and I both know it.
Who do you think you’re fooling John, my beloved sweet summer child, only yourself I’m afraid.
me, entering tumblr after listening to the cardboard box pt2, seeing I am just one of us fools thinking john and sherlock would pretend to be a swingers couple for a case, and knowing we’ve found our place in the world to be fools together:
John Hamish Watson at any given moment:
Okay for the record I just wanted to say that Sherlock mentioning an underlaying threat of a birthday surprise party while talking John’s ear off (and this is an unintentional pun regarding the cardboard box, if you know, you know) about how absurdly in love with Christmas he is was not without a reason.
And if you ask me, when the boys come home after the cardboard box case, there will be a (threatening, if you ask Sherlock) surprise birthday party waiting organised by Mariana in cahoots with John. And John will rant before to Sherlock about something ridiculous to buy them some time, because they’ve finished the case too early and Mariana is not yet ready with the preparations. And there will be a cake, candles (maybe just a symbolical one, because Sherlock hasn’t told anybody how old is he, of course), and Archie with a birthday hat on.
And even though Sherlock might have not thought that his birthday was relevant, he will be smiling to himself after the party is over (and after John with Mariana had just given him the tightest of hugs, maybe even a quick kiss on a forehead, because this is our Sherlock).
You know, just for the record.
Okay I’ve just realized that bbc!sherlock’s birthday is the 6th of January (I hope I’m not wrong). It’s like. In five days. And I wasn’t even ready for the christmas episode on 26th December. And Sherlock mentioned an underlying threat of birthday surprise party while talking John’s ear off about how he love christmas. And I’m still not over it, but that’s for another post. And-
When is s&c!sherlock birthday? Are we getting Sherlock birthday episode? are we getting Sherlock’s birthday surprise party? a r e w e ???
us all, starting yet another one sherlock adaptation and telling ourselves it’s hope and not delusion to expect johnlock to happen maybe this time:
john, every time he records an intro or outro for the episode, but he says something delightfully stupid and lovingly awkward, and the recording just stops on the spot while cutting in half him cursing himself:
when john and sherlock start accidentally but blatantly flirting with each other at the end of the 12th episode and I can sense the faint smell of building up romance:
