john watson has been through so much SHIT, he has gotten through so much BY HIMSELF, and despite “having trust issues” he trusts sherlock blindly and stays loyal to him, he opens himself up after everything, gives people second chances, and despite being ACTUALLY SHOT AND ALMOST DYING, is still a capable doctor. he is smart as a whip, contributes valued medical opinions and outside observations to sherlock that are tremendously helpful. he’s kind and brave loving, he’s honest and flawed has a lot of feelings but doesn’t know how to express them and i could go on and on but like please try to tell me john watson is boring when he is one of the most wonderful and multidimensional characters ever created
