joan watson + smash!#she is so characterized by calm intelligent restraint and compassionate discipline #that her capacity for norm-breaking violence comes as a surprise #bc normally characters so collected are also ~repressed~ or ~prim~ etc #but logically; someone so smart and so self-aware would have that capacity to recognise when physical - sometimes shocking - action is #required #and have no qualms about going for it #particularly someone who is canonically very physically fit and in control of her body #i just love it so much #bc she’s not repressed or prim or proper at all #she is just naturally reserved (okayophelia) -- source link
