I think you always have to remember that, of all the people that Sherlock Holmes ever met, this is the one he chose to rely on. In the judgment of a genius, this is a brilliant man. He’s not a brain, but Sherlock doesn’t need another brain. He needs the most reliable, competent, dependable human being in the world.
— Mark Gatiss about John Watson, The Sherlock Chronicles (via johnlockfulfillment)
remember that one time john started to talk about mary’s importance in his life so sherlock ran off real quick to watch soldiers in tight shirts play ping pong
David:Contacts Mary regularly, passive agressively cuts him out of pictures, offers to be Mary's shoulder to cry on, and nearly hugs her at the wedding
John:Hi David 😃
Irene:Sends Sherlock 57 texts which Sherlock completely ignores
John:YOU'VE TEXTED HIM A LOT WHY DOESN'T HE REPLY TO YOU HE ALWAYS RESPONDS TO ME 😡
