No it's not. Not according to actors and writers.

Who are all men and who are also full of baloney. I think Mark G. especially knew exactly what he was writing when he wrote it, and I think the actors knew exactly how far to take the dialogue and staging, and in what direction. IMO all of Sherlock and John's friendship was written and acted to DELIBERATELY lead us to Johnlock, if we so chose to go there, as individuals-- it's interesting, it's good business because it generates chat, and it's no less morally acceptable than if they were Sherlock and Joan, like in the US's Elementary. The BBC would obviously rather not "go there" and actually show physical affection between S and J, but aside from that, IMO again, I think viewers would have to be actually blind, lol, not to at least see the potential for Johnlock, whether or not they like it.  OK, back to the pictures.... didn't I already say that?  Sorry.

Give me a 'Like' button dangit!!!

Not getting into this again and not on a picture thread.
But we know what the writers and actors have said.
Sigh.

bb, you can't come onto a Sherlock/John thread and expect to have what you said go unchallenged. We're not stupid-- we know what we see, and we know what we fantasize about, and we know that the two things are very different. I personally don't give a fig what the writers and actors said-- they did what they did and then put their product out there, and if I choose to paint it pink and ride it around like a pony, then that's my right as a consumer of the art they produced, I am not wrong to do so. OK, back to the pictures.....

Where's a 'Like' button when you need one?

No they didn't.
They deliberately wrote a 'gay' joke through the series
You missed out Sally implying a realtionship between them, which she does to have a go at them.
Oh and Sebastian saying' friend?' about John, teasing Sherlock.
Oh and Mycroft's ' may we expect a happy announcement'.
Oh and the 'gandlords' conversations in the HOUND pub.

I'm sorry. I think you are disresecpting Moftiss right now. They did not do anything 'as a joke' they would tick off the fandom royally if they did. It's not meant to be "Queer Bating' as it has come to be known.

Look, I am fine if you are not a Johnlock shipper. I have many friend's who are not. I am just telling you that even though you didn't mean too, (starting to debate that actually) you said something hurtful. That's all.

Oh the bromance is entirely real.
That is a completey different animal to Johnlock.

It is completely acceptable that people are going to have different opinions on EVERYTHING, not just Sherlock and John. My roommate is a huge fan of the show as well but thinks I am nuts for my love of Johnlock. He doesn't see it. Most men don't see it. And that's fine. But he doesn't run around and tell me 'it's all in my head.' He accepts that I love it, even agrees that he can see where I might draw that conclusion from the show.

Now I know you didn't mean anything mean by your statement, but it really bothered me. It's ok if you don't agree with it, but please don't tell me or anyone else 'it's all in your head' as if we’re somehow wrong to have those thoughts.
It’s not in our heads. It’s in the show. It’s just done in an *intentionally* ambiguous way.

I have never seen a show with as much Eye Sex in it as Sherlock has.

Isn't it great?! I honestly don't know how John doesnt manage to melt under Sherlock's gaze. I would turn into a puddle of goo if he looked at me the way he looks at John. *swoons*

Are you all keen on this slash thing?

Well, no, not all of us... but some of us...

Your second to last post seemed to go in this direction. That's why I asked. I love to see Sherlock and John having a very deep friendship but not any further. Well partly it' s the own fault of the creators with their "gay" hints.
But nevertheless it's absolutely not my cup of tea.
 

Keen on it? KEEN? That's the understatement of the year! I ship Johnlock harder than Mrs. Hudson! They are my OTP. I have never, ever shipped a pairing the way I ship these two! I will go down with this ship!

I'm happy to take all the help I can get. Skype is just a convenience. I'll shoot you a PM. If anyone else would like to lend me their help that would also be great. Thanks!

CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!
