the Illustrious Client - part 2

Part 1 here. Holmes has been investigating the (allegedly!) murderous Baron Gruner...

The blind was three quarters down, but one ray of sunlight slanted through and struck the bandaged head of the injured man. A crimson patch had soaked through the white linen compress. I sat beside him and bent my head. “All right, Watson. Don’t look so scared,” he muttered in a very weak voice. “It’s not as bad as it seems.”

forever obsessed with the way in which this story stands in conversation with THE DYING DETECTIVE. More to come!

This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

Wilde At Heart, or, I Thought You Liked My Lady Bracknell

So, I can’t find this post again as always, but there was some discussion at some point about Oscar Wilde’s role in this episode. 

The short story: I think Wilde is actually very important to this episode and to Sherlock as a whole, not so much for the specific Wilde references as in understanding the evident disconnect between what Mark Gatiss seems to have thought he was doing with queer sexuality in Sherlock and what a lot of Sherlock’s queer fans thought he was doing.

As a Jewish person, I knew this because of the old joke about the rabbi falling down the stairs and his students rush to help him up and he brushes them off, then touches his forehead, body, and each shoulder. and they say, "Rebbe, rebbe, did you just cross yourself? Is it a concussion?" And he says, "of course not! I had to check everything important: spectacles, testicles, vallet, and vatch!"

Laurence’s amnesia in Blood of Tyrants is inspired character work, it’s so fun to be thrown back into his book one mindset, these lines have me yelling

Laurence may not know what’s going on but he knows he’s certainly not Dutch

Hit your head so hard you wake up speaking Chinese

Are you sure about that babe

Laurence baby boy that’s … that’s you

Man surprisingly good at trying something for apparently the first time, that’s just what it’s like for a Navyman

Oh yes certainly before TREASON

I love SO dearly the little recording mistakes (?) in Florence + The Machine's iconic debut album Lungs. Squeaky toy noise in "Cosmic Love," desktop mouse clicking in "Between Two Lungs," I love you.

I need to make a collection of his sitting style .

... I wonder if Watson already took note of that.

He's probably already done it.

So I had a hysterectomy today (hooray!) and I brought along my stuffed orca, Shamu, as a comfort object. And everyone i interacted with during my pre-op was like "Oh! Who's this?" so I was telling them all about him, how he's been with me since I was 9 and gone on every single vacation and road trip, and they were telling me about their own stuffed buddies (one lady said she still has hers after 40 years!) and all of this while I was signing consent forms and providing a list of the things I'd brought with me, you know, small talk.

So then a nurse comes over and goes "Okay, I've got some stickers I'll put on your things so we know they're yours" and I'm like "OK cool" so she puts a sticker on my coat and stickers on my bags of clothes and then she turns to Shamu and I'm like "oh I guess he gets a sticker too"

But no. She pulls out a hospital bracelet that's an exact copy of mine and slaps it on his tail, like so:

And i was delighted by this, so I took a picture to send to my friends, who were equally delighted, and were cracking me up with their reactions (like so:)

Anyway, they take me back and put me under, and when I awake groggily a few hours later it takes me a minute to get my bearings, so I don't notice Shamu at first. But then I realize he's tucked up next to me in the gurney, so I grab him, and my hand touches gauze.

And I'm like "huh?" so I look at him and I realize

They gave my fucking orca a hysterectomy
