Say gex

[vargdottern]

the problem with some sherlock holmes adaptations is that they try to make watson normal. people need to start embracing the fact that he too is a little freak

[gabe-dasha]

Basically Sherlock Holmes during and post So4

He is lost without his boswell

[holmesunenthusiast]

Watson and Mary Morstans relationship in The Sign of Four is actually so fucking funny bc the whole time Watson is like "noooo wtf 😟 my crush is about to become a billionaire fuck my baka life 😭😭😭 she's gonna think I'm a gold digger 🤦🤦 time to isolate myself from her 😢" meanwhile Mary's like "*licks lips like freaky sonic* I'm going to sugar mommy this sad AO3 author SO hard- 😈🥵🥴🙏 why the fuck is he not making eye contact with me 😐" meanwhile Holmes is like "i wish theyd invent crack faster 🫩"

[hottopic-wannabe]

in the end, holmes's special talent is staring at people and judging the absolute shit out of them

Happy Johnlock Day!!!

I know Valentine's isn't here yet, but I wanted to make a drawing for it anyway. So, Happy (very early) Valentine's Day!

I finished my Granada Holmes/Johnlock Valentine's Day drawing!! I hope you enjoy!! 💛💛

Holmes got his beloved poisonous flowers and Watson received some sweets. I love them.

The cafe is a cafe I use in my comics. It's called "Witches Cap - Cafe and Roast". Like I said in my last post, I always enjoy putting characters in it. [:

(Sorry for the wonky lines.)

(Edit: everyone is saying such sweet things, thank you lot so much!! 💛😭)

Watson is a BAMF and I will die on that hill.

[radyoaktif-ghostt]

I think he liked it.

[nessahero]

It's so disheartening to be a German Sherlock Holmes fan... I have never met an acd Holmes fan in person in my life, everybody is just like "oh, you like Sherlock Holmes? I loved the series too! You know, the one with Benedict Cumberbatch?"

Urgh.... No, I don't want to discuss BBC Sherlock!! The hell no! I want to discuss THE REAL THING! not this sorry excuse for an adaptation!

How I would love to have a group of friends to fangirl about the Canon with.

So, I'm very grateful that at least here I can let it all out ;-;

Thanks to the whole fandom!

You keep me alive as it is..

Experiment

Sherlock Holmes x Reader

~★~❤︎~✦~

Experiment complete.

There are many ways to describe THE Sherlock Holmes: Eccentric, Determined, Odd, Genius. Those unfortunate enough to meet him in person would describe him as childish. It’s quite amusing to think that someone as smart as Sherlock would be so childish. He throws tantrums and pouts when he doesn’t get his way. Even when he’s solving a case, he’s giddy like his mommy brought him home a toy. So it should be no surprise he acts childish when he’s in love. 

Of course he doesn’t tell you about his new found feelings for you. No, he performs little experiments on you. Trying to inquire if you could share his feelings. He starts off slowly not wanting to alert you. He begins by increasing his physical contact with you. Just a simple brushing of knuckles when passing each other. Or a gentle hand on your back. Light innocent touches, that's all he dares to do. You don’t seem to mind which gives him confidence to continue testing the relationship between you too. 

He moves on from light touches to soft words. He’s not bold enough to openly flirt with you. That's not his style but he does tease you in his own way. He’ll whisper his explanations in your ear letting his lips graze your ear ever so lightly. Giving him the out if you should bring it up that it was accidental. He’ll give you compliments in the form of observations. ‘That colour blue suits you’, there simple barely there compliments but he still notes the reddish colour to come to your face at them. 

So far it seems you share Sherlock's feelings, but he needs something more concrete if he’s going to confess. So tonight he’s going to be more bold. Johns out with *insert girls name* Sherlock and you will have the flat completely to yourselves. Giving him the perfect atmosphere to collect the last bit of data he needs to know before he reveals his feelings. He needs your pulse, he’s been trying to get it the past week but you always evade him. Moving at just the right moment preventing him from gathering this crucial data. Tonight though he’s determined to get it. 

You have a bright smile on your face when you enter the flat holding a bag of take out. If you're being honest you find yourself nervous to be alone with Sherlock in this manner. Of course you’ve spent time alone with him before, though he was always working on a case. This was different, this time his focus would be on you. It is intimidating to have his undivided attention. Honestly you were so surprised when Sherlock texted you to come over. The simple short text of ‘John’s out come over’ It didn’t leave room for you to say no not that you would have. The thought of declining never even crossed your mind. As soon as you got his message you were responding, at first you thought he had a case. Though with a simple text he refuted the idea texting you that he was just inviting you over. 

After staring at the text for an absorbent amount of time you finally get ready. Picking up takeout on your way and that's where you are now. Sitting next to Sherlock watching some random tv program while eating your takeout. You’re the first to break the silence, “Is everything alright Sherlock?” You're trying not to ruin the evening but you can’t help but be curious as to what brought on this on. He’s been acting differently all week. It was subtle changes at least in the beginning.

Yesterday when the two of you were walking to the lab he grabbed your hand. Fully interlocking his fingers with you. He didn’t even acknowledge it so neither did you just letting him lead you to the lab. 

“Do you think I invited you over because something was wrong?” your face told him his answer. “John was out so I thought we could spend time together” you let out a soft ‘oh’. Not that Sherlock was listening, no he was focusing on your body language. Watching closely at the blush forming on your cheeks. Time to get his last few points of data. 

He feels more confident, especially when he moves closer to you and your pupils enlarge. Your voice is background noise to Sherlock, he focused on your pulse. That's beating rapidly under his finger tips. Experiment complete. 

He cuts you off mid-ramble placing a kiss against your soft lips. He smirks against your lips when he feels your pulse pick up. When he pulls away your eyes are still closed. “What- you just kissed me” your voice is shaky. 

“Yes and I want to do it again, if that’s okay?” While Sherlock was confident in his deducing skills. He was still uneasy about romantical advances.

“Please” you're already tangling your hand in his hair, pulling him back to you. 

Sherlock Holmes can be described as many things: Eccentric, Determined, Odd, Genius, and an amazing Kisser.

[vargdottern]

yeah imagine if that was a thing

[gabe-dasha]

Headcanon:

Yes, I know Holmes' actual age is probably specified somewhere, however

In "Study in scarlet", when he and Watson first meet, Holmes is described as a student. Therefore I find this Skinny, Little, Photogenic, Sleep Deprived, Running On Coffe And Crime Stories, Missing Member Of One Direction Motherfucker™️ very canon

Just imagine

Doctor John Watson, years in college in order to become a doctor, probably some more years of working experience at Bart's, drafted into the army, traumatised, exhausted and worn off by life, most likely thinking he's way past his prime, coming back to London, looking for a flat and a quiet life

Meeting this hyperactive kid

This is how I am going through the og canon books. With this image in my head. And there is nothing you can do to change my mind.

[holmesunenthusiast]

You think Watson ever felt guilty when Mary died as he was mourning Holmes, wishing he'd spent more time with her instead of grieving someone already gone? You think he buried her close to the honorary grave he made for Holmes, or separate so he could properly give each of them his attention when he came to visit? You think he buried them with a single plot between them, waiting for his own turn? You think he spent time creating checks and balances of who he was meant to be hurting over more?

You think when it was all over he ever went back to Mary's grave and begged her to come back too?
