Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
Oh wow, I just had a revelation... I was on tumblr trying to find a post about the food=sex metaphor, I couldn't find it but then I came across a post about Mrs Hudson, and Sherlock saying "give her some lines, she's perfectly capable of starving us." And I just realised, as their landlady, Mrs Hudson would have been perfectly capable of outing gay Victorian Sherlock and John, in other words "starving them"!

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
Ah yes!
I am reminded of the conversation in TSo3 about dancing and Sherlock laughing as he says that Mrs. Hudson caught them while he was teaching John to dance "Don't know how those rumours got started"
While rumours are an annoyance today, to a homosexual couple in Victorian times it would be devastating.

Oh, I don't like the light this brings on our Mrs Hudson, but you have some points here, ukaunz and Phantom...

Victorian Mrs. Hudson, an elderly lady, was willing to crawl into Sherlock´s room (into which sniper Sebastian Moran was firing from a gun) on all fours and gather some evidence for Sherlock there + to adjust the position of the figurine set there to trap the sniper... all because she liked and respected Sherlock.
Would such a person randomly "out" Sherlock and bring him to heavy labor and prison and loss of reputation that way...? I somehow doubt it.

What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
I never thought she would, I was just making a link between the food=sex theory and "she's perfectly capable of starving us". Didn't mean to cast Mrs Hudson in a bad light, sorry!

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
No need to apologise - I was just surprised anyone would belive Mrs. Hudson capable of such behaviour.

This video is so beautiful that it should be watched by anyone but I think this thread is the best place. Get your tissues ready.

Re: The comprehensive Johnlock guide (Johnlockers only)
Oh, the Johnlock evidence here is killing me! Perfection. How could anyone doubt?
And that, "from now on a new, bigger story". Put in the context in the video it does seem so obvious, doesn't it.
