novazembla replied to your post: SHERLOCK may actually be one of the few things where the constant gay jokes don’t irritate me.I love the line in the response to that post, that “‘confirmed bachelor’ has always meant what John’s afraid it means.”I find it fascinating when people are so blindly unaware that there have always been certain affectations, behaviours and signals that were coded queer (used as signals for mating, as it were, or comfortable company) that they must just assume that queer sexualities spontaneously rose from the sea foam during the twentieth century like nobody had ever thought to put a dick in a butt before.
Sometimes when L&R posts, I feel love in a whole new place of my heart.
L&R is the king of the fandom of my heart.

The Epic of Gilgamesh was my first exposure to a bromance. He just wanted to wrestle with Enkidu and be left in peace.
