I was watching Scandal in Belgravia yesterday and it made me almost cry. Not sure why, but it was hard to watch. well, the scene where Mrs. Hudson gets attacked, and where sherlock's talking to Irene about love...
And then I started reading fan fictions. (this was early yesterday morning nearly) And they were post reicenbach. John is depressed.
Sad.
John's thinking of killing himself.
John's crying.
Hell, John Watson is the reason I can't watch the Fall...Because Sherlock's hurting him.
Because I'm the Sherlock in my relationship, and that makes me think, what if one day I hurt my watson....
And people do things to Joh to get some sort of emotion out of sherlock
He's got emotion. He cried because he had to leave John. There is real pain across his face when someone calls him a freak. He is hurt when the little girl screamed at him for whatever Moriarty did to her.
He's angry when Mrs. Hudson is attacked, ready to kill the man.
HE CRIED COS HE HAD TO LEAVE JOHN. Because he had to hurt John.
I had a serious talk with my Watson yesterday because of these fictions. Part of me understands very well why...why John would want to do that....
But still, it's ... I guess scary that John would want to ...kill himself because Sherlock 'left'...
I dunno. My watson and I agreed that both Sherlock and John are going to be a mess when we meet them for episode ten. Sherlock will have probably started using drugs again (that's what I woul do) and be upset at least. John...would yes, be thinking like that...be depressed and alone... probably having nightmares about Sherlock. He'll [robably have nightmares even after sherlock comes back....
But yeah, I hate hurting John, because that hurts. If you hurt Sherlock, I can sympathise with it...but again, he doesn't show most emotion unless he's scared for John or Mrs. H....But John...that's so hard to watch....
Sorry, just been doing to much Reichenbach stuff lately and had to let this all out.
After thought: the relief from reichenbach:
[link]Try watching the series after watching this...... wait for the whole thing to end. so wrth it.
I think John would never kill himself over anyone, much rather he would live for them. And there is things that needs doing. Sherlock's reputation needs restoring for one thing, and who would do this, if not John?
So I think he would live on, though miss Sherlock terribly, and do what he could to honour the man's memory. Until Sherlock himself shows up again.
but yeah, i really hope he wouldn't...kill himself over sherlock. He seems ...convnced at the end the sherlock will have some miracle for him so...
As for the suicidal thing, I just can't see it happen. He didn't kill himself when he was throw out of the army, who was likely his life back then. If it was in him, he would have done it then.
Yeah, I've been thinking about it...and it does seem a bit out of character...I think he would at least think about it....
It's even canon compatible, the original Watson tells us that the only reason he is writing 'The Final Problem' is that some people has started to question Holmes' reputation, and Watson wont stand for it. The modern John face the problem of lack of evidence of Moriarty's existence and villainy, which he first needs to find. Now that can't be done by announcing his intentions to all and sundry, so I think he would stay off the blog until he had something solid to publish.
Hmmm. You have interesting views on this (I like it)
I'm coming from the idea that John is really grief-stricken, but is still willing to move on...albiet probably not happily...
This video might help.. well, not. But still [link]
