cat behaviour!!

[sherlock-holmes-is-a-cat]

Anyone who says Sherlock Holmes would be a cat is wrong. He is not. That man is the most dog-coded anyone can get. Watson literally describes him as a golden retriever in The Adventure of the Dancing Men. If anything, Watson is the cat of the duo.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that, for Watson, living with Holmes is like having a cat:

You get woken in the middle of the night for no reason, have to listen to its endless complaints, scratching, and "music." You're always the one that tidies up after it. One moment it's all cuddly and purring happily, the next moment it bites your hand. Either it is lying on the sofa all day, not moving a muscle, or it's roaming the neighborhood, leaving you to either follow it around or stay at home worrying your heart out, afraid it might get run over by the next cabby. But then, when it's lying next to you on the sofa, purring and all safe and happy, you forget all the trouble and just fill up to the brim with unconditional love.

Have I summed it up alright?

Sherlock Holmes adaptations: he was cold and distant from the entire world; an unemotional calculating machine.

The guy they're talking about:

Saw that post and immediately had to make this

[id: a screencap from the crooked man episode of the granada Sherlock Holmes series. Holmes is staring longingly at Watson. In the bottom right corner there is a tumblr post by tentativetalker which reads “if it wasn’t homoerotic to look at someone, why would they call it ‘gaze’ 🤨” /end id]

No one but an acrobat or a sailor could have got up to that bell-rope from the bracket

Yet you did, Holmes, what does that make you? I vote for cat

"In an instant he was tense and alert, his eyes shining, his face set, his limbs quivering with eager activity. He was out on the lawn, in through the window, round the room, and up into the bedroom, for all the world like a dashing foxhound drawing a cover. In the bedroom he made a rapid cast around and ended by throwing open the window, which appeared to give him some fresh cause for excitement, for he leaned out of it with loud ejaculations of interest and delight. Then he rushed down the stair, put through the open window, threw himself upon his fave on the lawn, sprang up and into the room once more, all with the energy of the hunter who is at the very heels of his quarry"

IMPOSSIBLE‼️‼️

No, you don't get it. Sherlock Holmes can't be a catboy, it would be the death of him. He'd be trying to look cold and mysterious, and then the moment Watson showed up on the room he's in, his throat would start vibrating and he'd be blinking slowly. His reputation would be destroyed

Stuff that made me think of my favourite Holmes adaptations part 3

Is it custom to cite your sources on tumblr?

(most stuff I forgot where I got it, I would need to use a citation management program for this)

The earring quote was originally used in a text post by @angrylasagna . I usually find my tweets on cheezburger, boredpanda and @mostly-funnytwittertweets because I am not much of a twitter user. (Never had a twitter account, certainly won't get one now. Insert bad word Elon Musk.)

Thanky ❤

Love it

I found a tweet that is just so Jonk:

If you like it too, could you please draw a picture of an exhausted Jonk and include this tweet as a text post? It would make me very happy.

Pigeonk is tired. Give him a rest. Get a nap momma the kids will be fine I swear

[sherlock-holmes-is-a-cat]

Have you listened to the mailbag episodes from the patreon

Yes, well, I read it on tumblr. That's why it reminds me of him. Also exhausted Jonk in general
