By Victorian/Edwardian standard, Holmes could be considered quite the swearer as he used words like ‘damn’ and ‘hell’. So, if adapters want to make a point about him swearing, if Watson ever does say ‘no shit Sherlock’, it canonically makes sense for him to say ‘Fuck off Watson’. In this essay I will-

I always find it hilarious when more recent adaptations of Sherlock Holmes makes Holmes the dreamy heartthrob/attractive one (not that he’s not a total catch) because my dudes, Watson is right there. He is literally like a Victorian wet dream, he is everything that classic Victorian period would find appealing- adventurous, fought for his country, learned, has groomed facial hair (legit that was like the equivalent of being 6’ tall today), polite. He’s got just enough “melancholy” (depression) and rakishness (gambling) to still be a gentleman but like a bad boy gentleman. A real Romantic (both romance how we think of it today and like Romanticism) archetype. If anyone is the heartthrob here, it is Watson.

Watson isn't paying attention to whatever Lestrade and Holmes are discussing, so when Holmes asks what he thinks he just says "oh yes indeed, Holmes" 😆

Part two of CHARLES AUGUSTUS MILVERTON (part 1 here) - this story really truly has everything and I haven’t even gotten to the crime yet. In the last entry I went off canon, but this update is almost all line for line in the book…why are they like this

I love that he’s just So Excited to share this weirdness with Watson that he literally jumps over a settee.

If your John Watson doesn't seem like a man who would look at his best friend straight in the eyes after having saved his life and say "You know, that it is my greatest joy and privilege to help you." Then I don't want him.

HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES pt 4 (pt 1) (pt 2) (pt 3) (pt 5) (pt 6) (pt 7) featuring one of the top coolest Holmes reveals imo. Readers familiar with the story will notice an altered detail in the first comic…..all will be revealed eventually

Visiting Fulworth

Today @jeremys-come-to-bed-eyes and I went on something that I might have been classified as a "research trip" for The Beekeepers Picnic, if it had happened a few years ago! As it is, there's no hiding that it was just a geeky fan trip.

I didn't invent the idea of Holmes retiring to keep bees in a village called Fulworth - it gets alluded to a few times in the stories, and there is one story set there, 'The Lion's Mane'.

We know Holmes' retirement home is either a 'cottage' or a 'villa', it's a few miles out of Eastbourne, and it's clearly somewhere where it's possible to walk to the sea for a swim. Sherlockian tradition is that the real-life place fitting this description is the village of East Dean.

So, that's where we went - walking from Eastbourne.

This area is famous for it's white chalk cliffs, which are eroding away very quickly. Here is a path to nowhere!

These cliffs are known as the Seven Sisters. They all have names but the only two I remember are Short Bottom and Rough Bottom.

The beach there is all pebbles - I knew that when creating my game, but I felt like a pebble beach just wouldn't look right all in pixels, so I made it sandy instead.

East Dean is absolutely gorgeous, basically everything I could have hoped for.

Here is the village green - flying a Ukrainian flag in solidarity!

And here is Mr Holmes' official cottage. As far as we could tell its now an office of the local estate rather than someone's house, so we didn't feel too weird taking lots of pictures! The Lions Mane implies his cottage is a little way out of the village, but I'll forgive them for putting it in the centre instead.

(I think that the dates are obviously the dates he lived there as recorded by his biographer - our last information on Holmes is from 1917. I think they made the right call not to try to invent a date for his death.)

A lot of the cottages in the area have this really distinctive mixture of pebbles and brick which I think must be a hallmark of the local area, but I was pleased to see a few whitewashed buildings like the ones I put in the game:

Thank you for reading, please enjoy this adorable foal.
