acd's sherlock holmes is pulling me back in as of late, some of my old posts are getting (unexpectedly!) attention again. now i'm itching to revist the best holmes/watson fanfic i have ever read. maybe it's time to make a masterlist :)

RTD said what if the Master was a bratty bleach blonde cannibal in a dog collar with daddy issues. Moffat said what if the Master was a Scottish goth Victorian dominatrix being kept in a glass cage. Chibnall said what if the Master was a pathetic suicidal twee manic pixie dream boy with big watery brown eyes. All they were all soooo right.

really i think the key difference between david tennant and peter capaldi as fans of the show they were in is that david tennant's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with elisabeth sladen in school reunion with all the joy of someone who was in love with the show as a kid in the 70s. you know, like a normal person. (by doctor who standards.) whereas peter capaldi's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with creepy mummy-like cybermen based off a partly-lost william hartnell serial which is deeply deeply disturbing on a psychological level with all the glee of someone who was disturbed on a psychological level by the show as a kid in the 60s

I love the Good Omens Celebration anniversary gift prompts…..Day 2 is “Cotton”

Crowley and Aziraphale are shameless hedonists and I like drawing soft pillows and comfy sheets

the wrath of the lamb

Prompt: Crowley playing Hamlet for Aziraphale🩷

"i will live in thy heart, die in thy lap and be buried in thy eyes"

I cheated a bit and used Much Ado About Nothing instead of Hamlet, hope thats ok

This is also for @quitequaintrelle who wished for Globe Theater ❤️

ALRIGHT LISTEN UP there’s a complexity to Holmes’ and Watson’s characters that most of the adaptations don’t portray, although it has been addressed in Conan Doyle’s work throughout the decades. Holmes and Watson are both men of science and bohemian men. At the end of the nineteenth century, a relevant change happens in the institutionalization of knowledge and fields of study in a general aspect. What occurs it’s the definite (?) divorce between sciences and bellas artes. Two distinct figures crystallize: the scientist and the artificer. Well now, both these dynamics enter in a conflict. The poet lives up to a life of the bohemian culture and constantly proclaims his disdain of convections, his repugnance for the prosaic everyday. The utilitarianism of science quenches their thirst for freedom. They are misunderstood geniuses against the institutions and society in general. Passion against meticulousness. However, the crux of Holmes’ and Watson’s characterization is they’re, respectively, a chemist and a doctor. They preserve convections, the utilitarian approach to some matters, and a variety of meticulousness when solving their cases. There’s a complexity to them both which cannot solely fall to any of those categories. Holmes must not be a man lead by his science; and Watson must not take place as his counterpart, being lead by passions and intuition. Holmes and Watson are, in fact, at an equal category, which is not the logical man, nor the romantic poet. It’s somewhere amid these two.
