20 Versions of Sherlock Holmes Ranked from Most to Least Likely to Set a Building on Fire in a Fit of Rage

[firstofficerrose]

I'm slowly going back through the original Sherlock Holmes stories, and I am reminded once again of how very much I love Watson. He's the best. He's my kind of weirdo. He does not want drugs, thank you very much, he wants to follow his roommate around while he does weird detective stuff. He's a smart man reveling in never having to be the smartest person in the room. He writes accounts of his roommate's investigations that are somewhere between biography, melodrama, and rpf. He falls in love exceedingly quickly. Holmes says Watson's the closest thing he's ever found to a totally average person, and that's the wildest statement anywhere in the books. I want to put him in a jar for study.

Reading The Adventure of the Devil's Foot was certainly. An experience.

The pointy ears are a stylistic choice I just like drawing pointy ears.

[ID: a digital, fully colored drawing of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. They're sitting outside in the grass, both without a jacket, Holmes is wearing a black waistcoat and trousers with a scarf while Watson wears a brown waistcoat and trousers. They're sitting close to each other with their foreheads almost touching. Holmes eyes are closed with furrowed brow while Watson looks at him worried and holding him by the shoulders. /End ID]

@gilgamushroom is a hundred million percent correct, and not exaggerating in any way. XD I absolutely love CHAS. Such a good story.

(Though...perhaps I'm faltering in my Sherlockian memory, but I thought the goatee was in "His Last Bow" when he had to be in disguise as the Irish-American Altamont [named after Arthur Conan Doyle's father, by the way—Charles Altamont Doyle]. Was he wearing a goatee in CHAS as well? o.O)

221B Baker Street Christmas!

I'm making my house a Murder Mystery Christmas. My newest acquisition is a Department 56 Literary Classics model of Sherlock Holmes' house, with Sherlock and Watson!

It's all set for the season with garland and wreath, a table full of tiny British Xmas foods, a Christmas tree, and three annoying carolers. Miss Marple, Father Brown, and Hercule Poirot watch over them like Guardian Angels.

Dr. Moriarty left them a plum pudding. I don't think they'll eat it.

A better look at the two.

A Grand Fish-y Story - inspired by Untitled (Wolf, Alligator and Fish) by Tim Ebner

Heres a drawing of Sherlock Hound and Watson for the fandom Affirmation/Transformation exhibit at Marquette University! If you wanna submit art yourself heres a link for it

This drawing is for the theme "new texts" so I made up a fake case where Hound and Watson are looking for missing jewels and find some suspiciously glittery fish in a lake. (it also gave me an excuse to draw a fish just like in the museum art piece XD)

I hope you enjoy, and have an AWESOME day!!

I'm so happy for all the queer writers who are going to write Sherlock Holmes stories. I went into the Sherlock Holmes tag this new years looking for some jokes but surprisingly got really emotional. I saw people talking about the work they were going to create. And queer people telling others to make queer adaptations. Yknown Sherlock Holmes isn't the only character hitting public domain tonight. I realized this isn't just about our fav characters and shipping but about queer artists having more power to tell their own stories though characters and media they love. The more public domain there is the more queer power there is. So congrats to Holmes and Watson but above all else

Congratulations to Queer Artists, Writers, and Creators.

Happy public domain to many characters!

and minorities and oppressed groups please know your work is

Needed

Important

"Most movie fans know that Rick in Casablanca never really says 'Play it again, Sam.' They know that Tarzan never really says, 'Me Tarzan, you Jane.' Well in the movies, Sherlock Holmes really does say 'Elementary, my dear Watson.' He says it lot!"

So I just read The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton thanks to @contact-guy’s FANTASTIC illustration/spin on it and like. My god. I have a friend irl who is also big into Sherlock (has been since childhood) and he advised me that Watson does many Gay Actions in the story. It was even better than I hoped.

Gay Actions taken under the cut.

-Nearly clobbers Milverton with a chair at end of the initial scene in 221B (was it in hopes of going through the pocketbook to be absolutely sure the client’s letters weren’t there? unclear. but for sure it was out of frustration on Holmes’s behalf) -Threatens to go straight to the cops unless Holmes lets him come along on the burgling scheme so he can protect his mans -Is incredibly quick to fabricate black silk eye masks for the two of them to go burgling in -Gets led by the hand when they enter the house since Holmes is the one who’s practiced seeing in the dark :3 -Uses such lingering phrasing re Holmes “putting his lips to [Watson’s] very ear” so as to whisper to him in the study :3333 -“Thrill[s] with a keener zest” at defying the law; see also “I rejoiced and exulted in our dangers.” Watson has always wanted to be gay and do crime -Is going to be Such a Good Watchdog when Holmes tells him to stay by the door and listen for anyone approaching, and to bolt it if anyone does -Promptly forgets these instructions in favor of watching Holmes start safecracking “[w]ith a glow of admiration” -Hides w Holmes behind the curtains when H hears Milverton coming... and watches events through careful gap, shoulder to shoulder w Holmes -Instantly perfectly interprets Holmes’s “cold, strong grasp” on his wrist to mean don’t do shit, Milverton deserves every bullet -Watches Holmes burn all the blackmail letters with what I just know is gritted-teeth grim satisfaction -Has to kick free of a hand catching his ankle whilst booking it over the wall of the grounds after Holmes -Maintains a completely bland, unaffected face when Lestrade comes round in the morning to a) report H&W’s own crimes and b) give a description... of Watson

Absolute delight of a tale. I await all further illustrations with great anticipation.
