being gentle does not equal being weak, and being forgiving does not show defeat. remember that a kind heart is the strongest.

sometimes being gentle is the strongest thing you could possibly do.

john and sherlock meet on the same bench at a dog park

sherlock tries to impress this hot military man by deducing all the people thereĀ 

he turns over to look at john’s shocked face only to see it turn into smugness – john also begins to deduce……the dogs. their old and new injuries, which ball belongs to which dog, how old the dogs are

astounded, sherlock saysĀ ā€œwhat do you do for a living?ā€

john saysĀ ā€œi’m a vet.ā€ šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜

& sherlock just melts like šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ Ā I FOUND A HOT MAN WHO LOVES DOGS

hounds of baskerville is still the same but instead of killing the dog at the end, john just sidles right up to the dog and starts murmuring things likeĀ ā€œit’s okay, it’s alright we’re not gonna hurt you, we’re here to save youā€.Ā 

eventually he gets the dog calm and submissive enough; sherlock’s jaw drops watching this man tame it by pat pats on its head and belly scritches

john is a dog whisperer and nobody dies

I came out, I just saw this huge line of people, I sad: is that? Is that? What is that for? Is that for some event? – No, this is for tomorrow. It’s for what you’re doing tomorrow. – I sad: What? I mean what? How long have they been? – All day! – What all day? In this heat and they’ve got water? – Yes, some of them, some of them don’t, you know … – I sad: What are they, are they going to live on the street? – Yeah. – Can I go and talk to them? And there was lots of sort of furtive looks between the security: I don’t know. I mean that’s, we can make it work if you really want to. – I was: Yeah, hell do I do. I want to meet the people who make all this possible. Cause it’s all about that, it’s all about them. It’s about their enthusiasm, their devotion and it’s overwhelming and utterly humbling, whether they’ve come from miles, whether they put all their effort into cosplay, whether they stood in line for literally days, it’s inspiring and humbling and reminds you what it’s about.

Honestly, ever since becoming a fanfic writer myself I’ve become like 500% more understanding and patient about other authors’ update schedules. An author takes 6+ months to post their next chapter? Yeah, totally get that real life can get in the way. An author abandons a fic? Disappointing, but it it happens- sometimes inspiration for a story just dies. An author apologizes about taking so long to post a 10k word chapter? Dude, that’s like 18-20 pages on Word single-spaced. It takes me at least a week to write an essay for school a quarter the length of that, and that’s with a deadline.Ā 

It’s probably the most important thing writing fanfic has taught me, tbh. How to fully appreciate the hard work someone else has put into their story. How important the role of the audience is to an author. And that no matter what, you are never entitled to demand more of a story that you are getting for free.Ā
