Sherlock Holmes: Flesh & Flora by tysmiha

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (1984 Granada Series), Sherlock Holmes Books Pairings/Characters: Holmes/Watson Rating: T Length: 9791 words Creator Links: tysmiha Theme: (Not Really) Unrequited Love, Hanahaki

Summary: It may be more of the good doctor’s purview, but Sherlock Holmes can appreciate the odd rare medical curiosity. The roses filling his lungs are certainly curious. It’s unfortunate that he won’t live long enough to learn much.

Watson, he thinks, will be fine.

Reccer's Notes: Holmes gets Hanahaki.  Instead of talking about his feelings, he does the most logical and repressed Victorian thing ever, he goes away to die alone.  The things is, Watson might have a thing or two to say about that.

Book rec: Pendragon Rises by Tracy Cooper-Posey

Forgive me I don't think they ever mention Anwen's, the heroine's, exact age, but I think it is implied she is in her 30s or 40s. It has been awhile since I read it. It is set within the Arthurian legends and Anwen is handmaiden to a prominent lady within those stories and she falls in love with a blind knight named Steffan. I thought their love story was lovely, even though the rest of the story was bittersweet (because Arthurian legend).

One note, Anwen is considered plain and old, because of this she believes no one will ever love her. That may be a big turn off for some, so just letting you know about that type of attitude in advance.

For the love of all that’s holy, can anyone give me book recs for fantasy/paranormal/sci-fi books where the woman protagonist is over 35?!? Over 40 would be even better. I am so GAWD DAMN tired of every book I come scrolling across is some 17-22 yr old. Holy fuck.

Homes on Distant Moons

by @kingstoken for @shuushuushuu

“Hey, Izzy” the bartender said, breaking Ed’s contemplation for a moment, but there must be hundreds of people with that name. “You’re in early this week.” “It’s been a long fucking day. Give me some of the green stuff.” Ed would know that gruff tone anywhere. He looked over to the bar and saw Israel fucking Hands. On a moon on the edge of the Galaxy Ed runs into Izzy.

For those of you looking for the full clip, ha!

Through long and arduous semic analysis, scientists have now narrowed down the main elementary units of signification present in all Sherlock Holmes incarnations and condensed them into this scene of high scientific credibility. [from BBC 2’s Peter Serafinowicz show]

What a great addition!

I saw a tumblr post not that long ago about Granada Sherlock Holmes, that said David Burke’s Watson was boyfriend!Watson and Edward Hardwicke’s Watson is husband!Watson, and I thinking truer words have never been spoken.

Burke’s Watson looks at Holmes with excitement, almost adoration at times. Something you would expect from a newer relationship.

Harwicke’s Watson looks at Holmes with a gentle fondness.

Burke’s run includes a lot more incidental touches, of the arm, the shoulder, etc. The type of stuff that is great for gif sets, and prefect for shipper fuel.

The touches are less during Hardwicke’s run, from what I’ve seen so far, but he shares these looks with Holmes like they’re communicating without talking, which don’t particularly gif well, but are such great little character moments when you’re watching the show.

I was disappointed at first that they switched actors part way through, but they made it work. There is about 7-8 years between Burke and Hardwicke for age, and I know canonically only three years are supposed to have passed between The Final Problem and The Empty House, but if you widen that gap the changes in Watson make more sense. Older Watson is more staid, he has known grief and heartache, and he has settled into his middle age. He seems exasperated with Holmes much of the time, and yet you know he would follow him almost anywhere. Older Watson more readily accepts Holmes with all of his foibles, because he knows what life was like without him.

Young Watson and Holmes are two men in their prime, ready to take on the world.

Older Watson and Holmes are the bickering old married couple, that would be lost without each other.

Thanks to @lodessa for tagging me

I have a mix of some new ones and some I've had for a few years. (Also, I kind of snuck in an extra one, because Holmes & Watson must not be separated.)

My year of blorbos - old and more recent

Thanks for the tag @hippodameia. Although I didn't have 9 blorbos for this year, I choose 9 I held dearly in my heart. here you go:

One is very recent, one is very old. Find the one that is different from the others 😆

A little late for Christmas, but I did @vavoom-sorted-art 's Ineffable Husbands colouring sheet.

[kingstoken]

Lately, I been watching the Granada Sherlock Holmes (which I've been loving by the way), so I decided last night to listen to the bootleg copy of the audio of the play The Secret of Sherlock Holmes (both acts are on YouTube, and stars the same actors from the television show). It is is both lovely and very sad. The first act really condenses Holmes and Watson's relationship, and then breaks your heart in the second half. It takes that line about Watson being the "one constant in an ever changing world" and gives it an entirely new meaning.

I think when I was younger I came across the concept at the heart of the play, because it seemed familiar to me, but didn't quite understand it at the time. Perhaps, you need to be an adult to really understand the weight of it.

Do you want to know what had me bawling like a baby this morning? I saw this one on Twitter, and yeah, 😭

@aimmyarrowshigh you probably already know all this, but in case you don't

Philadelphia Story: Oh No Not Now (Fanvid) by FairestCat

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Philadelphia Story (1940) Pairings/Characters: Macaulay Connor/C.K. Dexter Haven/Elizabeth Imbrie/Tracy Lord (and every combination of these characters) Rating: G Length: 4:06 min Creator Links: Fairestcat Theme: Amnesty, fanvids, polyamory

Summary: What do I do with this?

Reccer's Notes: This vid does such a great job showcasing the chemistry between all of these characters, and is in a way a sort of fan trailer for the film.  The choice of clips is great, and the music starts slow but builds in such a subtle way.  It puts a smile on my face.
