I think I am very clueless when it comes to identifying the onscreen chemistry that fuels a lot of shipping, but Johnlock is really my first visual ship. My other ships have all been textual, so I've had a greater glimpse into the dynamic and the minds of some of the characters I have shipped as a result. In this TV based medium, the eye-fucking definitely helps. I feel like the gifsets on Tumblr which have isolated these moments over and over and then added commentary to them have worked to enhance my ability to notice chemistry. That's been kind of neat.

I'm glad to have had fandom too and I hope this therapist thing continues to be fruitful.
