#books sherlock holmes

[libraryraccoon]

I just want the characters who have been through hell to move away from problems and lead a calm and quiet life, with no alarms and no surprises. Just being in a little cottage, away from everyone who can hurt them, and they are happy like that. Especially if their trauma were overlooked.

Is it too much to ask ?

(Yes)

John Watson is the BIGGEST hype man and that’s just canon

[contact-guy]

 "Knowing how genuine was her regard for him, I listened earnestly to her story when she came to my rooms in the second year of my married life and told me of the sad condition to which my poor friend was reduced."

THE DYING DETECTIVE part one - the best way of successfully acting a part is to be it.

If you're not familiar with this particular story I REALLY REALLY encourage you to read it (it's short!) because 1. it's really good and BONKERS and 2. this version is very close to the original but deviates in certain and important ways.

(this is in the Watson's Sketchbook series)

after rewatching some of the bbc show (haven't watched it since i was into it ~2017) and reading some of the original Sherlock Holmes stories, i've made some observations

(obviously this is exaggerated for funny purposes)

[ohno-wallace]

Sherlock & Co. but I redesign the logo and make it look like one of those investigation shows hehe

[tremendously-crazy]

does anyone else immediately lose interest in a book when there's a romantic subplot or is that just me

[dangergggg]

Thanks to Ace Attorney, I've started reading the Sherlock Holmes stories and am just having a lovely ol' time thus far.

[sygneth]

I often see canon Holmes and Watson's default state pictured as

but what I read them as, is rather

and I think that's a lot funnier

recently i reread a bunch of my favorite sherlock holmes stories (norw my beloved) and felt compelled to create my own diagram for 221B

Sherlock Regrets Using Child Labor

[libraryraccoon]

Listening No Surprises and all I can think about are scenarios/fanfics with the characters who's traumas are overlooked gave up on everything and just move in a cottage, they'll take a quiet life, with no alarms and no surprises.

And I can imagine it being a crossover !- What ? A crossover between Good Omens, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock and (possible) Harry Potter with that scenario ? More probable that you think !-

if there's one thing about classic literary detectives it's that they are not conventionally attractive. doyle told sidney paget to stop drawing holmes so pretty. christie was like "let me introduce you to this short pudgy balding man who is retirement age and i hate him." sayers compares wimsey to maggots on literally the FIRST PAGE

i love it. i love them. stop casting hot people in these roles. we need our detectives to be Charmingly Weird-Looking

[contact-guy]

MORE...I said I didn't like this story but there are many charming bits, including new besties holding hands and Holmes backstory lore. Also I love how absolutely DONE Mary Morstan is when talking to Sholto...the thinnest veil of politeness drawn over exhausted bitchiness. Watson really vibes with a certain type.

This is part four for THE SIGN OF THE FOUR, (Part one), (part two), and (part three)

(This is part of the Watsons sketchbook series!)

being into sherlock holmes is so stupid like. yeah here's my blorbo, you don't know him. you think you do, but unless you've systematically fallen in love with him through the personal writings of his retired army doctor best friend you really don't. yeah. he's one of the most popular and well known characters in the world. I have interacted with at least 60% of the current fans. hey do you think he associates the sounds of waterfalls with death? do you think he'll ever get over that? I won't. good talk

[fogdraws]

He said he slept at Baker Street, just not how

Excerpt from A Scandal in Bohemia that I couldn't help but to illustrate - I'm an artist, that's what I do.
