the more i think about bbc sherlock the more angry i get about the direction they took it in and how much the creators treat lgbt fans like crap. s4 sucked and tbh i dont even like some of sherlock’s characterizations in general.
like they try to pull that hes above having emotions and hes very detached but the truth is that sherlock is Very in tune with his own emotions and the emotions of others. hes so passionate about his work and he truly loves it so much
like whenever bbc sherlock speaks i feel like its so rare for him to be genuine about his feelings. acd sherlock is extremely genuine. he likes to have fun, indulge in his hobbies, and express freely his love and appreciation for his friends
sherlock is emotional. emotion is essential to his work. hes dramatic and excitable and full of flair and panache. he doesnt think hes better than everyone, he just excels in his work because he puts all his energy and devotion into it. he loves helping people.
he has literally let people get away with crimes because they were committed out of love or for a just cause. he helps comfort and seek justice for scared young women. he charges rich assholes huge fees for his work but never makes people who are in need pay for his services.
sherlock isnt antisocial. he LOVES people. thats why he does what he does— to improve the lives of other people. sometimes he gets in moods where he needs to be by himself but at his core, sherlock is loving and friendly and appreciative of others
yes, while on his cases he can sometimes overstep polite conventions in order to try to get results faster. he doesnt always display tact and obey what is expected of him. but its all done deliberately and for a purpose
he isnt quick to trust others with details of his personal life, hence why john is such an important part of his life. someone who truly knows him and loves him for who he is— all his quirks included. in return, he knows john intimately & cherishes all the little things about him
tldr: bbc sherlock sucks moreso than just shitty storylines and disrespect to lgbt fans. they also managed to mischaracterize crucial aspects of sherlock’s personality
if u made it all this way: thanks for reading! if u want to watch a show that actually has good characterization (& tons of johnlock content) please watch the granada television sherlock holmes series!
