Re: Sherlock Holmes canon vs fanon

Yeah, you're right, it is really subjective. However, I will say this -- in canon, yes, Holmes treats Watson rather poorly on several occasions, and is incredibly cruel to him a few times. However, his motivation and attitude when he does this is almost never "I'm better than you therefore I am allowed to treat you like crap". I can think of only two times where he's belittled Watson in such a fashion, and only a handful of times when he's been deliberately vicious or mean-spirited towards anyone. Almost all his mistreatment is of either the thoughtless kind or the "for the greater good" kind.

And in between his moments of meanness, he's usually very polite, affable, and even affectionate towards Watson, frequently thanking him for little favors and constantly using terms of endearment (IRL this kind of alternating is a kinda really awful thing, btw, but it makes for vastly more enjoyable reading).

So I guess it depends on what kind of stuff bothers you more when it comes to kinda jerky characters.
