Sometimes I remember he died, he was dead for real, but SO MANY people loved him SO MUCH that he was brought back to life and got to have so many more adventures and get old and eventually retire and yes it's a fictional character but sometimes I think about that and I have to lie down and have a cry about it. We love you Sherlock Holmes

If you are ever bored, pick a pokemon, a random pokemon, preferably a pokemon you wouldn’t normally go looking for in fanart, and search it up in the tags.

Some of the artwork drawn for these pokemon are so beautiful, and you can tell that it’s someone’s favorite. It really makes you appreciate pokemon you normally wouldn’t think about

love when a professor is like "i'm not assigning any work over the break, take it easy" like that is literally so sweet and so considerate but I will not be taking it easy because no other professor at this school shares your philosophy

The real reason we need a book accurate Dracula movie is so Mina can sweep everything off a table and lay out a map and her journal and explain how she knows Dracula is on the river on October 30th.

in dracula there is a cowboy and the female lead lives. in nosferatu there is no cowboy and the female lead dies. ergo, the existence of a cowboy is highly important for the survival of the female lead in a gothic vampire story.

watson: what a tragedy.

*looks at the victims face*

watson: damn, he's so ugly, he must've had it coming

a while ago I read this sci-fi short story from the 50s where a guy is kidnapped and interrogated by aliens using a very sophisticated lie detector, but he realizes that the lie detector works off technical truth, and with some careful phrasing and misdirection, he manages to make them believe that humans are a race of immortal, overpowered, omniscient telepathic beings. and it works.

my favorite part is when he tells them that humans are "capable of transportation without the aid of spaceships or any vehicles, just by using mental power to control physical matter". it's true, we can. it's called walking.

i love the way that watson always knows what role he needs to play and when. yellow face starts with holmes restless and badly in need of a case, and upon returning from their afternoon walk in the park, holmes discovers the pipe their client has left behind and can’t help making a small deduction about its owner. watson could have praised him as usual and stopped there, but he knows that holmes needs stimulation, so he asks him instead if there is anything else he can deduce about the owner and then keeps pressing him for more about the man and how holmes has made these deductions. it’s such a simple but beautiful thing about their partnership–watson can see what it is that holmes needs, and he offers it up without hesitation. he knows who holmes needs him to be in that moment and is happy to play the role if it will bring holmes any happiness.

sherlock holmes things I think about sometimes:

“Sterndale sprang to his feet. ‘I believe that you are the devil himself!’ he cried. Holmes smiled at the compliment.” HEE

“Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature.” (he’s so relatable tbh)

“Watson. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.” (bestie moment)

“The good Watson had at that time deserted me for a wife, the only selfish action I can recall in our association. I was alone.” (bestie you’re so clingy honestly <3 )

“I never can resist a touch of the dramatic.” (WE KNOW)

“…you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I confess, my dear fellow, that I am very much in your debt.”

“In his tweed suit and cloth cap he looked like any other tourist upon the moor, and he had contrived, with that catlike love of personal cleanliness which was one of his characteristics, that his chin should be as smooth and his linen as perfect as if he were in Baker Street.” (Holmes gets compared to cats very frequently I love it)

Watching Granada Holmes again because it's Liminal Couch Christmas Time and just started on The Blue Carbuncle.

And now Jeremy Brett is sitting around just woken up with disheveled hair in his night clothes and dressing gown and I'm fanning myself like a Victorian Maiden.

Sir please.

Merry "almost Chistmas" day!

Here is the bootleg design I made from the famous 2016 limited edition yetee shirt, lovingly cross stitched onto a sweatshirt by the absolutely amazing @albert-harebrayne!!

(Pronouns are they/them, masculine and neutral terms are a-ok!)

Ok this is a mess and probably not a good likeness of either, BUT hear me out: Book accurate Sherlock with Dev Patel as Holmes and Riz Ahmed as Watson? Please?? I’ve convinced myself that I need this. Patel’s Sherlock would 10/10 shake a baby’s hand (among other actual canon Holmes shenanigans). Besides, Riz already has that long-suffering “what have you done now, Holmes” look.

Partially inspired by this photo post of the boyz at the Oscars.

do you ever think about how Sherlock Holmes expresses his affection in such an oblique and sideways manner that Watson could have recorded Holmes’s confession of love and published it for all the world to read without ever understanding it for what it was
