30 Days of Sherlock: Favorite Ship

Kelly: Oh....this is interesting. For those of you who don't know what a "ship" is, it is a internet term for a relationship. No, not just a casual one but...you know. There are some crazy and insane Sherlock fans who write fanfic/make drawings on DevianArt or are like "Sherlock and John make such a cute couple!" Then of course there's the infamous "Johnlock" that this fandom has also started. And yes there are several jabs in the series that suggest that Sherlock and John might be gay.

Um....no.

In my opinion, these fans are completely missing the point. It seems in today's culture that TV shows and movies are OBSESSED with relationships and with the fairy tale ending "and they lived happily ever after." But what attracts me to the show isn't the fact that there might be some sort of "relationship" that goes on between Sherlock and John, but that there isn't. I don't see flirting, being in a relationship or anything like that. I see friendship and the love and beauty that comes from that. They look out for each other, they have each other's back, they meet in the most unlikely of circumstances. They have inside jokes, they solve crimes together, and yes, they do live together. Yes, people in relationships do all of the above as well, but friends do that too. It's just silly to me. That's all.

Holly: 

Once again, my sister says everything perfectly.  STOP WITH THE SHIPS, Y'ALL!! Sherlock and John can be friends! That's it.  STAHP.
