hi there! i only started watching sherlock recently and i am a newbie in the fandom and i was wondering if you could maybe help me out on tjlc? i really love johnlock and i don't know where to start digging when it comes to tjlc, it just seems so overwhelm

Hi, lovely! Welcome to Johnlock Hell™!!!! We’ve plenty of room, and there’s a cozy seat right here next to me. *pats rock* Oh gosh I love new people!

I’ve answered this question extensively a couple times, so I hope you don’t mind if I just link you to the beginner guides I’ve already made! 

TJLC Starter Pack  - This is a more recent list; another user asked me for the best meta to convince their friend of TJLC, so I think this one is probably your best bet! TJLC: A Beginner’s Guide - New to the fandom? Check out this longer post that goes into detail about some of the best meta in the fandom, plus some of the tropes you will come across! Some of the links may not work on this post anymore, as some of the blogs have closed since. Johnlock is Already Blatant - Post-TAB, I have never been more certain of Johnlock. I answer an ask regarding the fear a follower had, and I and others chip in their opinions!SHSpesh Starter Pack - I am also the keeper of the most intense pre-TAB Masterpost ever created :p (just kidding, but I was VERY diligent of updating this stupid thing every time new stuff came up), if you’re interested in reading some pre-TAB news and interviews and theories. We were a pretty wild bunch. Still are :D My Masterpost’s Johnlock Meta Section - Like it says on the tin, I also have my own extensively organized Masterpost which contains an extensive and never completed TJLC / Johnlock section. Blog Tag: Sherlock and John’s Relationship Arc - Because I love precise tags. As a heads up, I’m VERY meticulous with my tagging system, so you may end up in a loop on my blog. It’s my way of ensuring I’m like Wikipedia; once you start here, you NEVER LEAVE *evil laugh*

I hope those help you out! I LOVE making new fans feel comfortable and welcome here, and if I can lessen that overwhelming feeling just a little bit, then I have done my job. Welcome to JLH™!
