Oscar Wilde is famous for them.

Yes, it was a sort of identification for gay men. Yesterday I watched the Stephen Fry film and there was a scene where hen and all his friends wore a green carnation in their buttonholes.

Really, you wonder why? I don't.
That wedding is all about Sherlock and John after all.

Just joking.
I love how they managed to surprise us in the episode where John marries a woman, the one thing that was said to put an end to all ideas of Johnlock.

It's all because of that stupid wedding speech... it made Johnlock even worse.

How could you, Moffat?

You know you spend too much time here ...
... when you actually consider stealing a green carnation from a restaurant table

(Just for the sake of honesty, KP: the green carnation thing was not my idea. I read about it on tumblr and had a closer look. Amazing what people still find in the episodes)

Any thread can be a Johnlock thread if you're aggresive enough.

Any thread should be a Johnlock thread anyway...

I won't go quite that far Solar.
Live and let live.

The funny thing is, I joined this Forum back in 2012, purportedly to discuss all things BBC Sherlock-related, but deep in my secret little Johnlock heart (even when I didn't know there was such a term) I was really here because I was fascinated by the John and Sherlock relationship and how the creators and actors seemed to be teasing us or leading us somewhere with it. I wasn't entirely sure where; but boy, I wanted to see how far they dared push the envelope and I was sort of hoping other people here might be interested in discussing it too. I was pretty shy about my interest in the beginning, a little afraid to confess it, but not anymore! Now I don't even need to pretend - I'm completely Johnlocked bonkers and glad to have found a bunch of like-minded crazies. We definitely have our Johnlock goggles on 24/7 and proud of it. Doesn't bother me if all threads turn into Johnlock. LOL! Ah, my needs are being met and I feel validated! Love you guys!

A bonkers Johnlock group hug, anyone?

**Posted by tobeornot221b** June 4, 2014 8:42 pm

Yay!

**Posted by SolarSystem** June 4, 2014 8:59 pm

**Posted by SusiGo** June 4, 2014 9:27 pm

Joining the hug!

**Posted by SolarSystem** June 4, 2014 9:29 pm

Yes, please!

**Posted by tonnaree** June 4, 2014 10:08 pm

(((((((((huggles))))))))))

Hey, we even have cards now.

Another thing: in the restaurant when John is about to propose to Mary I find he is really really nervous (which is quite understandable, of course) but he's not anticipating in a happy way, he never seems to smile or give Mary a truly loving look. In his "proposal" to Sherlock he's much more calm, his voice is steady, his hands are steady, the look he gives Sherlock seems much more reassured. And he smiles...
