on this re-watch of elementary: i am still and forever shall be in love and enraptured and amazed by lucy liu as joan watson

like holy fucking shit. first off, she is easily, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman ever in my eyes, in such a confident and powerful way. like there's no doubt or insecurity in her, she is who she is and she won't back down from a fight.

she handles sherlock with such accuracy and care at the same time. she's a great friend, and she has unwavering loyalty and love for him. it's crazy. she marches into morland holmes's office, she threatens him while taking him up on an offer, and she does it all in the name of protecting sherlock from his own father. like i know we talk about "strong female characters" but joan watson is so complex and beautifully written.

she can face down drug lords without batting an eyelid, but lunch with her mother gives her conniptions, she's ruthless without sherlock, she stands her ground effortlessly, she's willing to do whatever it takes to solve a case, and she also manages all the people around her, just by nature of being a very empathetic person. oh, and she's a surgeon.

she's so funny and sweet and human, and as much as i think sherlock is a wonderfully adapted character, i think joan watson means so much to me because she is so strongly her own character and her own part of this world. lucy liu plays joan with such conviction and empathy that she holds her weight and more against a strong male character that demands a lot of attention just by nature.

sherlock holmes is a household name, and he's one of the most distinctive and powerful characters across the world. in elementary, he grows toxic mold in his kitchen, shoots guns in the foyer, dissembles bombs for fun, and wakes his roommate up in various creative ways. he's a terror. so for lucy liu to play joan watson so convincingly and so strongly that she not only rises to the challenge, but exceeds it, is worthy of all the praise i am capable of.

#like no wonder i am the way i am i worshiped joan watson like. duh. she IS the it girl #OMG WAIT HAS SOMEONE DOES THE BARBIE AND KEN MEME FOR ELEMENTARY YET #OH IM GONNA FIND IT #elementary #joan watson #jordan rambles

Tbh I really like how clone high handles romantic relationships in new episodes

Frida and Cleo?

They had a lot of teasing in spring broken and then Frida's handling of her attraction to Cleo is hilarious ALSO YEAH KHALOPATRA CANON BAYBEE

I also like how super casual the show is about the fact that yea, they're sapphic. It's nice.

Harriet and Confucius?

To be honest I think their relationship is kinda bland BUT I like them both enough to be happy for them and them making it a big deal of getting together seems in character.

Joan and JFK?

Their break up kinda seemed inevitable to me at that point. The way it was handled is actually satisfying imo. Still sucks because they were actually really enjoyable as a couple but oh well

Not sure if I like the idea of Abe and Joan getting together tho but it seems the show pushes it that way. Oh well, we'll see.

Also seeing Topher fans freak out is hilarious

"Its harder and harder to like him" my brother in christ, his whole character is basically making fun of performative allies. Him being unlikable creep is the point

elementary s3 ep 4 'Bella' when sherlock tries to blackmail the professor who committed murder and the professor goes on this tangent about how he doesnt think sherlock will condem a fellow addict to jail in order to catch him because as much as sherlock wants people to think he's an 'atomaton' he doesn't believe even sherlock posses the 'machine logic' to go that far and this whole scene honestly sums up why I love jlm!sherlock in elementary more than any other hes still this eccentric detective and yeah his body is a machine yadda yadda but sherlock is still human the show does this amazing job of showing how his relation with Dr Watson changes his outlook on friendships

#joan x sherlock is actually my brotp of all time #elementary #jlm!sherlock my beloved #rambles #cbs elementary #like joan impacts how sherlock interacts with everyone

Can I get something on the JoanFK tag that ISN'T just complaining? It is ok to be feeling shit that things went badly in the show, but do you have to tag that negativity on the ship? The negativity is all that there is to see whenever I try to interact with the show and it's making me feel horrible.

I've been in far worse fandoms, and they didn't make me feel this bad.

It all feels so puritanical, like you have forgotten what a teen drama parody entails. Did you forget that they were ALL assholes in the first season who backstabbed and did shitty things to eachother for their own selfish gain? You are applying pretty strict rules of morality onto characters who intrinsically must break those rules to allow the narratives of their genre to move.

This was a short kiss, the result of feelings that JFK and Harriet had actively been trying to avoid for the sake of Joan. This could have been resolved by open communication, but that's not how either drama shows OR stupid hormonal teens work. After making this mistake, they did the most responsible and moral thing they could have and confessed it literally within the same episode as soon as Joan would not, you know, DIE as a result.

All things considered, it wasn't a secret relationship, it wasn't sex, it wasn't a long term secret held until it accidentally spills out and ruins everything. It could have been SO much worse, it was none of my worst fears, and I'm honestly relieved a kiss was where it stopped. And I am also really glad they confessed to quickly because I HATE liar revealed plots more than ANYTHING and I probably would have stopped watching. If they were going to do this plotline it was the best case scenario for me.

And do you know what is even better? What should be the bare minimum but is actually pretty rare in dramas from my experience? Neither of them tried to mitigate Joan's reaction, to say she was overreacting or to dance around the issue to make it sound better beyond a truthful 'we felt nothing'. Joan was allowed the space to fully process the information and her emotions, even if through a montage. And damn I wish I saw that more often.

As for those saying JFK would need a redemption for what he has done- does being open and honest about his wrongdoings not do that pretty succinctly? Beyond having not done it at all what else do you want? Pretty puritanical to want him to suffer before he can be forgiven.

And granted, Harriet got plenty of unjustified hate before she had even done anything, but post-kiss most of the discussion and anger I have seen has been directed solely at JFK. Harriet was part of that kiss too, knowingly going against her friend. Why is the romantic relationship deemed worse to betray? Both of them did a stupid thing together, and fixed it together.

And I'm not saying Joan putting all the consequence on Abe is justified, he didn't do shit wrong either, he tried to keep his friend alive in a tricky situation.

All of your feelings are valid, and I do see why the dominant opinion is what it is. Cheating is an awful thing to do and you should not be with someone you do not trust, I cannot refute that.

Yet at the same time, I felt it was important to put forward some differing points that I had been having. This show will not be enjoyable if we hold a position of being negative and moralistic. To some extent there has to be an acceptance that this is a fiction and moral failings are often part of a narrative structure.

(And while many of you have legitimate critiques on the execution of the show, it feels like some of you are taking the 'thing done badly because I don't like it' route)

I really hope nobody takes this as me trying to enforce cheating or to say that JFK and Harriet kissing was ok. It was shitty of them to do in the first place, but they are not morally irredeemable. Teen do stupid bad thing is not new. I'm also not interested in having an argument over this, I get caught up far too easily in that so I won't be answering any replies or asks. It is fine if you disagree, I'm here to propose a counterpoint.

Sorry if this was repetitive or lengthy. It just felt like I had to get it out there despite it being the early hours of the morning.

Watching Call the Midwife on your periods is a whole new experience... I am crying so much my cat's come to sit on me. And she hasn't done that in months omg.

I kind of find it funny ch fandom's attitude towards Joan x Abe

I swear I've seen more support towards crack ships than JoanAbe, y'know, the main characters? Joan spend season 1 pinning and s2 has the roles reversed and people just don't care.

I love it :D

And to be honest JoanFK was just more entertaining

oh. i just realised that in the au where both donna and martha travel with 10 in s3, martha gets to be forgotten by donna TWICE, once when the ytnw resets and once when 10 wipes her mind of the doctordonna. hm. ouch.

#place your bets on whether 10 actually tells martha he did that or whether she runs into an amnesiac donna in london #doctor who #i should have a name for this au but i don't lol #anyway the post got reblogged by seanan mcguire (!!!????!?!) so i'm thinking abt it again #i'm wondering which eps to include #i think they go thru a mix of s3/4 eps and then when it's just donna and ten they do the s3/4 eps that are left? hm #i'm gonna outline it properly tho at some point instead of just the sad rambling i did last time sgdjhajsh #i kinda wanna rewrite the chameleon arch 2 parter since that's the one that's the most easily different #considering it's set in 2020 there'd be no joan. what if. what if john smith falls for o instead....................

@mothman-noises you asked me to keep you updated on the Ongoing Case book, so I'm doing that :)

I have the entire thing in pdf form now. The whole fic series, and of course I added one of your drawings of Joan at the front. The whole thing ended up being a total of 368 pages and I'm printing out the first signature right now. I'm so excited!!!! (This is so surreal honestly. I'm surprised how fast I was able to get it all in there.)
