I was definitely talking about BBC. I tend to say Sherlock for BBC and Holmes for canon. It feels more appropriate somehow. But I mean more emotionally than physically. Or mentally maybe?

He seems more insecure and put-off by people and definitely isn’t as tactile with them as canon. So I don’t think he would use it if it could be avoided.
