Gay people can't flirt properly. It's always something like:
'Punch me in the face.'
'Punch you?'
'Yes, punch me, in the face, didn't you hear me?'

Interpreting any character as aspec is fighting a losing battle cos the aspec headcanon will NEVER be the popular fandom interpretation. I can’t think of any character that is widely interpreted as aspec by non-aspec people, it only seems to be the aspec community that headcanons characters as aspec and everyone else treats us like we are taking away from “real” queer rep with our headcanons.

Johnlock and wrightworth are essentially the same thing, with one of them being a bi disaster and the other a logic-based gay ace and they work together, in this essay I will-

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE NEW SHERLOCK & CO EPISODE?
Like I know the Patreon people got ep 19 a while ago but I can’t afford it, so I listened to it last night and omg??? Victor Travis is Sherlock’s ‘friend’ from college who knows a lot about him, clearly cares/cared about him, hoped that Sherlock had mentioned him, Sherlock’s met his dad, AND HE’S GAY I’m so exited for the next episode and there’s so many ways their relationship could have gone like did they date? Did they secretly like each other? Were they just friends? Was victor into Sherlock? Did Sherlock reject him? COULD THIS LEAD TO JOHN FINDING OUT HE’S GAY? And canon Johnlock???
I’m probably reading too much into this but I will never be normal about any Sherlock adaption :}

@ace-sher-bi-john is my main. Funny story, but I accidentally locked myself out of that account permanently...
I was giving myself a little break from Tumblr and the way I went about it, caused me to lose access to the email I created the account with. I don't remember my password, so I've lost access to the account forever... I'm an idiot (this isn't even the first time I've done something like this lol...)
So yeah, I will be continuing from where I left off on this account. Posting parentlock, johnlock, aspec Sherlock headcanons. All of the stuff I posted on ace-sher-bi-john.
@nowiamcoveredinyou you message me from time to time, so I'm tagging you so you don't accidentally send me something and never ever get a reply. I would feel so bad!

Thor Ragnarök meme template, Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock as Hela: “I am the most Queerbating detective, I’m too gay, you know you can’t defeat me!” Hercule Poirot, Tintin, Shawn and Gus from Psyche, Pina and Legoshi from Beastars, House and Wilson from House, Phoenix Wright AND the Batman, all as Thor: “No, but he can.”

in (re)reading the original sherlock holmes stories it's hard not to appreciate how genuinely sweet holmes and watson's relationship is, even harder to avoid noticing how many times watson describes what they have as an "intimate acquaintance" or "two men who know each other intimately" and the VERY hardest not to have my brain bombard me with every single suggestive meme or emoji i've ever seen when another passage like that pops up.
... and they were roommates-

Is a Asexual/ Queer/ Gay Sherlock Holmes canon? And Johnlock?
An opinion!
Regarding Canon, Sherlock appears to be Asexual in all the collection. He does not show any interest whether romantic, sexual or platonic in ANY woman. No, in the canonical content (books) Sherlock does not have any romantic or sexual attachment or desire towards Irene Adler(in books Irene is in Wedding with a other man, BECAUSE she love the man. Sherlock keeps Irene's photograph as The Woman who beat him intellectually, only). Just as Sherlock has no romantic or sexual attraction for Irene, she doesn't feel any of those things for him either.
Yes, I know that many Adaptations suggest that they had "something" with Sherlock and Irene, but adaptations have creative and poetic freedom to MODIFY the original content (and in general I have no problem with that. But in this case it was just a way for such adaptations to assert a Sherlock Holmes' attraction to women, who in books was non-existent. This is the fear of displeasing the conservative public, and therefore "adapting Holmes to heteronormative standards").
Still regarding Canon, l repeart, Sherlock appears to be Asexual in all the collection. He does not show any interest whether romantic, sexual or platonic in ANY woman. It is not clear if he was equally disinterested in mens, not least because homosexuality was a crime in the Victorian Era and it is not as if Sherlock Holmes could talk about his sexuality openly.
On the other hand, Sherlock Holmes canonically says that "Watson is the only fixed point in my life" and he was also upset by Watson's marriage calling it "the most selfish thing Watson has done in all our years of partnership, I was alone".
These are lines that maintain that, although asexual, he may have developed some platonic interest in Watson (in keeping Watson close, either for his cases or to keep him company).
Watson, on the other hand, was canonically married at least 3 times (taking into account dates) and he himself says he has experience with women on "three different continents". That he likes women is indisputable. However, Watson is also known for being an "unreliable narrator", that is: he admits to purposefully omitting facts that may embarrass or expose clients unduly, for example. But Watson is also a terrible narrator because he has many wrong dates and data in his reports (for example, a case that takes place during the period of Holmes' "death").
With that, many fans read between the lines and assume that since homoaffective relationships were a crime at the time/Era Victorian, Watson would never tell the public anything that would expose Sherlock and himself. And when such fans look "between the lines" they see Queer subtext (honestly, I highly doubt Doyle did this on purpose, so it's just a coincidence that just the books where the asexual detective also unwittingly offers room for Queer assumptions. Very conducive for fans to come up with extra-canonical theories and assumptions).
It is from these things that people assume that Sherlock is asexual (with a unique and exclusive attraction to Watson in his life, and probably platonic, that is, he adore and is loyal to Watson, wants to have him exclusively by his side for cases and companionship, although he feels no need to turn this relationship into something romantic or sexual - that to me is "love platonic" (Even though fans might assume, in extra-canon, that Holmes might want MORE, if it were reciprocated. It turns out that just by taking the Watson reports and probable omissions into consideration, a lot is possible) and that either Watson is 1) a heterosexual oblivious to Holmes' interests, 2) or is bisexual, and does not tell us due to Era Victorian (Honestly? I think the first option where Watson is a heterosexual man who didn't realize Holmes' affection BECAUSE Watson see but not observe, this is more true for Canon. Even though in Extra-Canon fans might assume that Watson might be a humble narrator who doesn't tell us the facts as such).
The question that remains is:
We already have many adaptations that feature a heterosexual Sherlock Holmes (for those who wish to see him that way, even though the canonical book content does not give him any interest in Women). But then why are we in the 21st century and we don't have a Asexual/gay/Queer Sherlock Holmes??
Why not, when this is actually the closest thing to reality??????

I have had this blog for a while now... Decided it was time for a new introduction post!
Hello everyone! My name is Michelle, welcome to my blog!
On this blog I will be posting mostly about BBC Sherlock, Aromantic/Asexual/LGBTQ+ things in general, Sherlock & Co. and also the MCU.
I created this blog because I love aroace Sherlock Holmes, but I also love Johnlock. I had only seen a few people share this headcanon prior to creating this blog, and decided to join so that people who agree with me know that they are not alone and that they are valid.
My specific headcanon for Sherlock's sexual/romantic orientation is that he is grey-homoromantic and asexual. A gay greyroace. If you want to know more about my reasoning, you can read this post about it.

Why Sherlock Holmes meant so much to me in a queer way.
When reading the Sherlock Holmes cannon I never understood why Watson would get married when he could spend the rest of his life going on adventures with his best friend.
I wanted a relationship like that real bad. ( This was a sign I was aro but I can see same sex loving people relating not knowing they were that yet)
When I identified as a lesbian the fanfics were the only gay representative I had.
The Victorian fics simetimes delt with holmes or Watson getting rid rid of internalized homophobia, which helped me do the same.
The Victorian fics taught me about gay history.
The cannon shipping content on Tumblr isn't fetishism of gay men.
I can view them as a qpr if I want to.
Holmes is often debated to be either aroace or gay by queer people and we make fun of people who see him as straight.
Some call Watson straight but a lot headcannon him as bi.
Theories about his sexuality showed young me one of the most beloved pop culture icons could be queer, queerness is good and deserves to be a famous detective, just like hetero people become icons.
The stories often weren't about romance, but you could interpret Holmes and Watson's relationship that way if you wanted.
