Happy Johnlock Day!!!
I know Valentine's isn't here yet, but I wanted to make a drawing for it anyway. So, Happy (very early) Valentine's Day!
I finished my Granada Holmes/Johnlock Valentine's Day drawing!! I hope you enjoy!! 💛💛
Holmes got his beloved poisonous flowers and Watson received some sweets. I love them.
The cafe is a cafe I use in my comics. It's called "Witches Cap - Cafe and Roast". Like I said in my last post, I always enjoy putting characters in it. [:
(Sorry for the wonky lines.)
(Edit: everyone is saying such sweet things, thank you lot so much!! 💛😭)

Holmes to himself thrice to 10 times a day: I'm getting a good grade in being a normal fellow lodger, and this is both normal to desire and possible to achieve.

Did some messy little doodles of my version of Sherlock from Sherlock & Co. I think he would have the wild unkempt hair like the BBC adaptation. Although, I wanted his hair a bit shorter. I am neurodivergent and have sensory issues with some types of fabrics, so I wanted to give him a little comfort hoodie. [:
I am going to be doing a doodle of John (sorry, Johnk) soon. I am thinking of doing a coloured drawing of them both soon. Still deciding what though.
(Also, sorry for my handwriting. I mainly write in cursive, so print is a bit odd for me to write in.)
Anyway, I hope you lot enjoy! 💛

My first reaction to learning Watson has an older brother is the fact that both him and Holmes are the younger siblings in their families, which would make their tendency for misadventures and to getting involved in other people's businesses a life-long trait.
On a more morbid note however, the fact that Watson has an older brother, one with whom he seemingly had a not-so-good relationship with before his death, also paints his reaction to learning about Mycroft in a whole new light. Instead of the general happiness of finally learning about Holmes' history and family, there's an added layer of Watson getting to see a working, happy, brotherly relationship, one he presumably didn't have and now could never have.
And depending on whether or not you think Watson meeting Mycroft happened before or after this story leads to different interpretations. The Baring-Gould chronology puts The Greek Interpreter before The Sign of the Four, meaning Watson accusing Holmes of digging into his family history perhaps has a sting of envy for not having as good a relationship with an older brother as he knows Holmes does.
However, if The Greek Interpreter happened after this story, then Watson accusing Holmes could be what led to Holmes being so unyielding of his own family history, presumably so as to not upset Watson. Though Holmes is generally closed off about himself regarding those sorts of things.
In addition, the detail that Watson's brother drank himself to death makes Watson's view of Holmes' drug use in a new light as well. Looking at this paragraph specifically:
“But consider!” I said, earnestly. “Count the cost! Your brain may, as you say, be roused and excited, but it is a pathological and morbid process, which involves increased tissue-change and may at last leave a permanent weakness. You know, too, what a black reaction comes upon you. Surely the game is hardly worth the candle. Why should you, for a mere passing pleasure, risk the loss of those great powers with which you have been endowed? Remember that I speak not only as one comrade to another, but as a medical man to one for whose constitution he is to some extent answerable.”
Without the context that Watson is speaking about Holmes doing cocaine, I can easily imagine Watson talking to his brother about drinking too much. Obviously cocaine and alcohol abuse are different things, but the list of negative effects, not to mention the fact that Watson feels answerable to their condition could apply equally from a partner in crime as to a younger sibling to an older one.
The opening of the story reveals that Watson has wanted to, but not yet been able to confront Holmes about his drug use. I imagine Watson was the same way with his brother. And we know the watch he tests Holmes with came into his possession recently. Ergo, I'd say that his brother's death is probably the impetus for Watson to finally say something, so as to not repeat what happened with his brother.

Hello Granada fans!
I was just re-re-rewatching Copper Beeches (lost the count of how many times i watched it) when i noticed that the drawing of the house which appears during Watson's ending narration
Superimposing the shot of the house then appears on Watson desk.
As he is reading the draft of the story to Holmes from his notebook.
The drawing also looks to me like an ink drawing made with a pen. Since Watson is reading Holmes the story from the notebook and not from the Strand, it means the story hasn't been published yet.
In conclusion, what if this means that in the Granada Holmes universe Watson draws some if not most of the illustrations himself? We know that he's a doctor, doctors study anatomy (aggraziearcazzo, yes, i'm telling it to myself so you won't have to do it) and studying anatomy also means drawing anatomical sketches! I would bet good money that Watson knows how to draw quite well and that drawing on his desk seems to me the proof that he's the one drawing many of our illustrations!
