queenofnobullshit:

There are many things that make me believe in TJLC. There’s the BBC’s LGB Commission, there’s Moffatt’s rant about those who don’t read the subtext, there’s this quote by Gatiss, there’s the aborted love declaration on the tarmac, there’s the acting, there’s the omnipresence of queerness.

And yet, nothing confirms TJLC to my eyes as much as this: The one time I stopped believing wholeheartedly in TJLC, the one time I decided to try and like Mary, the one time I thought that maybe Sherlock and John could just be super close friends, and that Mary could be part of their trio (I’m not super proud of that), I got thrown a curve ball. Mary killed Sherlock. 

TJLC allows to accurately predict what is about to happen. TJLC allows a fairly opaque episode to become completely transparent. And when you drop TJLC, even for a second, things stop making sense and you are out of your depth.

So true
