Sherlock's habits
Does Sherlock have any habits? (besides "being an annoying dick all the time"). like, I don't know, tilting his head to one side or something?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's the thing about fanfiction, it's always a self-portrait
People want to believe what is easy, rather than what is right.

Re: Sherlock's habits
Fiddling with objects like ridiculously expensive phones? But that's Benedict's habit, not Sherlock's. Not eating while on a case? Stepping on furniture? (Almost) never driving in patrol cars?

Re: Sherlock's habits
having black coffee with two sugars in. texting not calling. replying on anything. and many others. /I heard en excerpt from the canon recently, and the quote "he was obsessed with cleanliness, as a cat" stayed in my mind - interesting description of his character/ 
and former smoking!

Re: Sherlock's habits
I have never understood this British habit 
concerning on John´s shopping bag: beans, milk, vegetables and wine - wonder what are their favourite meals when Mrs. Hudson is not available...
oh yes, and risotto!

Re: Sherlock's habits
No, not John. He's definitely non-vegetarian. I'm sure of that. As for Sherlock, he's eating apples and Quavers. Sounds quite veggie to me.

Re: Sherlock's habits
I don´t think Sherlock is veggie - remember the scene when Mrs. Hudson takes away the meal he had left untouched in ASiB - seems like meat with something.

Re: Sherlock's habits
If Sherlock has taken something into his head he would persue it without regard to friend or foe.
For instance:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

I think he's trying to protect John.

Re: Sherlock's habits
No, I don't think so. He wants to make a "daring escape", no matter what John is thinking.

Re: Sherlock's habits
i maintained that Sherlock got his idea of John as his hostage when John fumbled for an explanation for Sherlock's action. After seeing tobe's post I watched it again. Yep, Sherlock's firm expression proves I'm wrong about that. I missed a lot while focussing on subtitles
