Sherlock Being AroAce for 12.5 Minutes

Yes, this is the hill I will die on. Happy Ace Week!
Also! Friendly reminder that by the end of the series Sherlock got over his whole ~LoVE iS a WeaKNEsS~ thing and found the importance in deep platonic love. Aro and ace people aren't anti-love that was just Sherlock and his character development. QPRs for the win!!

OK BUT ITS SO FUNNY HOW SHERLOCK THOUGHT JOHN WAS INTO HIM FOR A SECOND AND FELT BAD FOR SUPPOSEDLY BREAKING HIS HEART

[@poets_and_books5523]

I love how he just casually kills relationships.

“You think she’s my girlfriend because I’m x-raying her possessions?” -> Are the Straights Okay material right there.

[@leafybeefymusic]

sherlock’s point abt marriage is so true theres literally no point except for the party and tax benefits

[@timeladyshayde]

it's always refreshing to find other people who see Sherlock Holmes as aroace. The obsession with sex and relationships in every fandom is very frustrating.

[@gelgography]

“literally what do the allos want” so true of him

[@readmachine18]

Been a long time since I've seen Sherlock, and I hadn't realized how much

[@jasoncox7244]

really really really hate what this director did to Irene Adler. She should be Sherlock's equal, not some seductress.

[@jennya1782]

I'm aroace, and I just realized I have rejected someone in almost exactly the same words Sherlock uses with John in the Angelo's scene 🤣 his lines must have entered my subconscious

[@amafish]

“Romantic entanglement-“ “-will complete you as a human being” NO! I hate when people say stuff like that! You can have a perfectly happy and fulfilling life without having romantic relationships! And saying it will “complete you” implies that no one without a partner is a full person which is just ridiculous! People deserve to and should be people in their own right otherwise you’re getting into codependency which is actually far less healthy!

John: "Cake?"

[@harpywiththebrownfeathers]

"Would you... would you like to--"

[@liolikesgrass]

John : Did you just get engaged to break into an office ?

[@leothetransboyuu6830]

"do you have a boyfriend then?"

[@applesas942]

I feel Sherlock's frustration with the whole "romance will complete you, marriage will change you."

[@EUOTRICHOR]

screaming and crying

when sherlock says "no" to having a girlfriend, you can see john thinking "hold up, am i on a date?"

[@ashemcgee1558]

Watson bribing Holmes with cake on the topic of becoming a godfather is an entire mood and a half.

Me: “I dunno if I’m actually Aro-Ace….”
