I personally tend to not really be interested in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations HOWEVER I do think there's comedic potential in the Holmes Brothers having access to text messages.

Watson: I shall now remove my insignificant personality from the ensuing tale.

Sherlock, in the first story he narrates: We will be Talking About Watson for the next two pages and if you do not like it you can Leave.

When they make Sherlock Holmes and Irene Norton née Adler have sexual tension I get so angry that steam comes out of my ears. First of all that woman has a lovely husband whom she risked her well-being and outsmarted royalty for. Second of all, she’s like Lana Del Rey to Sherlock Holmes. He keeps a photo of her in the way stan twitter has screenshots of their fav artists. This is not a heterosexual dynamic.

Reading Sherlock Holmes and there are so many scenes where Holmes is just at the foot of Watson’s bed, wide awake at a questionable hour like, “Hello, my dear Watson! I have studied bicycles all night!” What a little cryptid.

i can't believe arthur conan doyle wrote this scene

John Watson: As a doctor, the first rule I live by is do no harm!

John holding a gun: My second rule is take no shit.

Fawx & Stallion moments that only become hilarious on the second listen through (major spoilers)

"Fitzy" telling them his name is John, and then when they try to choose a different name he just insists that every single member of his family is named John so they don't have any other options, and then groaning when they come up with "Fitzy"

Madge mockingly calling Fitzy "detective"

Fitzy mentioning that he's "Actually very good with children" and Madge not believing him (he commands an army of feral children)

Lotte: "All of our husbands at the very least have a subtextually charged relationship with a penpal!"

Realizing 30 seconds later that Lotte said that right in front of Fitzy, with no idea who he really is (probably)

Fitzy almost choking when Madge calls herself his “John Watson replacement”

Fitzy’s entire conversation with Madge about Watson’s writing in the beginning of Saucy Setback. Oh my god. “I would never disparage another professional in the same space as me.” (Spends every case talking about how stupid Scotland Yard is) “The American part!!!” (Yeah we know you hate that part, dude.)

Madge saying “Don’t worry, he’s cool” and Fitzy being like “I’m cool???” And then she’s like “No, not like cool, I mean you’re gay.” And he’s like “Oh. 😕”

Fitzy’s real voice coming out for a moment when he says “How could you possibly know that?” Like he’s SO offended Madge has good gaydar.

He’s mad that she figured out that he’s gay AFTER he said “I don’t think either of us would enjoy that” with barely disguised horror when she asked if he was angling for a shag.

The entire scene with the Irregulars, knowing that Fitzy is watching Wiggins and the rest of his kids being little bitches to the 224 gang and standing there trying to look neutral while inside he’s like “FUCK YEAH THOSE ARE MY FUCKIN KIDS!!!! GET THEIR ASSES WIGGINS!!! SLAY!!!!”

Fitzy saying “She’s a little pitchy” as if he hasn’t personally been giving these children music lessons

James: “We can’t let it get out that we were outnegotiated by 8 year olds, that’ll be worse than the murder. DONT WRITE THAT DOWN, FITZY!”

Just wanted to thank this podcast once again for making Holmes a 30something year old virgin who doesn’t drink. Finally, an accurate representation of Holmes being decidedly Uncool. Thank you so much.

Fitzy being the one to successfully negotiate with the Irregulars after sitting there silently listening to them fuck it up for ages. Lol.

Fitzy: “I may not know how to get children to like me or solve a mystery…” lmao

Fitzy mouthing off to Hampton and Hampton growling “Who even are you???”

“The Case of the Birthday Boy” released on JANUARY 6??? HOLMES’ ACTUAL BIRTHDAY??? Did they do this on purpose or was this the worlds funniest coincidence

Also I’m curious as to when people figured out who Fitzy was. For me, as soon as he made the comment about taking pride in being forgettable I was like “No…. Could it be? But no…….. Oh my god it is.” Still, listening back to the show after having confirmation about his identity has made sooo many things stand out lol.

Crane Wives songs will be like *folk guitar intro* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. I am a wolf in the river. I am worried that I'm too volatile to ever be in a stable relationship. *guitar interlude with some percussion now* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. There is ash in my hair. I am so tired all the time. I think I'm a bad person.

My headcanons for the Fawx & Stallion characters but using only Victorian (and Victorian style) photos I found on Pinterest.

Hampton Fawx

James Stallion (you know he has an extensive collection of EXCELLENT hats)

Madge Stallion (I feel like she dresses very casually)

Archie Cartwright

Iphy Brown (my wife!!!!!)

Idk what Victorian coroners wore so I imagined Iphy wearing a sort of nurse-like uniform like this? Except the chatelaine is full of autopsy tools. The chatelaine was definitely stolen off a corpse. Maybe also with a lab coat or something idk.

Idk where the rest of the Iphy fanclub is but I’m the president. Please bring her back in S3 I adore her.

Also, Hampton and Madge definitely took a photo staged like this but with Ambrosius instead of a baby. It hangs proudly in their living room.

Have you REALLY lost your scissors if you aren't walking around making scissor motions with your fingers in an attempt to lure them back out?
