#can i please direct everyone who treats john watson like a ‘precious fine thing’ to this conversation. #because guess what people mycroft is not wrong. #john watson does not need you to feel sorry for him and protect him from big bad sherlock holmes and his bag of evil tricks. #john watson did not fall into this. #john watson was not tricked into this lifestyle. #when john watson walks with sherlock holmes he sees the battlefield #and that’s what he wants. #when we first met john #in his first meeting with his therapist #he says ‘nothing ever happens to me’ #and he doesn’t want his life to be like that #he doesn’t want tea parties and harrods and a psychosomatic limp #he likes the craziness that comes with sherlock #the heart-pounding gut-wrenching curveballs that he constantly gets thrown #this is exactly what he wants. #he is not precious. #he is not a child. #he was a soldier! he had bad days. #john watson: better than you #john watson: not a teddy bear #john watson: bad ass mother fucker #john watson: more than jam and jumpers

Reblogging because of flawless tags. I love Sherlock, but John is just as grand.
