Day 02 — Favorite male character and why.


I adore Sherlock and John both – as a duo and as individual characters. I’m not sure I could choose between the two of them.
But since everyone who’s doing this meme seems to be choosing Sherlock, I’ll go for the less obvious choice here.

It took me a while to realize that I had developed a genuine appreciation for John Watson, because it’s easy to get blindsided by Sherlock’s general brilliance.
But when you stop for a minute to think about it, John Watson isn’t any less great.


I find him, to be quite frank, ridiculously adorable.

There’s more to him than what meets the eye. He is very brave and incredibly loyal, and he can go from cute to badass in the blink of an eye.
I adore his wry sense of humor. I love the way he puts up with Sherlock’s most annoying quirks and never tries to change him, but at the same time isn’t intimidated by his genius and he’s ready to rein him in when he thinks he’s passed the line. Like Martin said, John is Sherlock’s sort of “moral compass”.
I love John because he is caring and kind without being naïve, because he’s a man of “strong moral principles” and he seems the kind of person who always sees the good in others. And he is… a good man.
He just seems like a perfect friend to have around. That’s all.

This post explains it a thousand time better.
