So,
I’m a Sherlock fan since the show aired in 2010 and I recently
discovered Tumblr. And wow. I was gobsmacked by the great amount of
theories and metas about the show, especially related to the
relationship between John and Sherlock and “The Johnlock Conspiracy”.
Now, I want to say something: I have no opposition whatsoever about the
possibility of them being together, but I’m also convinced that they
won’t become a couple in the show. Why?

1. A lot of people say
Sherlock is gay but c’mon. Moffat and Gatiss let Irene Adler mess
with his mind and heart, and he clearly feels something for her. I’m
sorry to say this, but you’re kind of delusional if you think that a
character like The Woman, who was Sherlock Holmes’ main love interest in
past versions like the Ritchie movies or Elementary, wouldn’t play an
important part in Sherlock’s love life in the BBC Version. In fact,
Moffat and Gatiss always remind us of her presence; she was in
Sherlock’s mind palace in The Sign Of Three, Magnussen listed her as one
of Sherlock’s pressure points, Sherlock himself knows that she will cry
if he died (His Last Vow), and her picture was in Sherlock’s pocket
watch in The Abominable Bride. If that’s not enough, let’s talk about
Molly Hooper, then, who’s a nice, sweet, smart girl, in love with Sherlock
since episode 1. Their relationship is progressing season by season, he
trusts her and respects her and she’s obviously not over him (and it
seems like she never will) and I think they will be canon by the end of
the series.

2. Queerbaiting is a very common thing these days.
It’s terrible and I agree, but the majority of showrunners don’t care
about it 99% of the time. Just look at some other shows, like
Supernatural. They keep beating the Destiel horse because they know that
pair will bring them ratings and money. And that’s the same thing
that’s happening in Sherlock. And when the show will be over, Moffat and
Gatiss will get away with it, saying something like “some people read too much into it”. Mark my words.

3.
The general audience’s response to Johnlock may not be positive and
that would be a downfall for the series. It doesn’t matter if, I don’t
know, 1000 people or so on Tumblr want it to happen. At the end of the
day, the general audience is what matters the most.

4. John is now
married and he’s gonna be a father. He forgave his wife for shooting
Sherlock - which could be the way the writers are telling us that John
really loves Mary and he’s willing to make things work with her - so I
don’t know why would he leave her now, since he already forgave her. And
yes, I believe the forgiveness was real. I mean, Sherlock asked John if he
wanted his wife to be safe and John’s answer was “yes” and he held hands
with her on the tarmac while Sherlock was going to his death. Would you do that if you hated someone? He let
Sherlock going away. He chose Mary, again.

5.
If Moffat and Gatiss wanted Sherlock and John to be a couple, they would
have clarified the mutual interest towards each other from the
beginning in a blatant way without recurring to some kind of subtext
trick or whatever.

I know a lot of people ship Johnlock and
expect it to become canon because the show wouldn’t make any sense
otherwise. But believe you me, as long as it makes sense to the writers,
everything is possible.
