One of the most relatable Sherlock Holmes moments out there

As far as I know there's only one audiovisual recording of Arthur Conan Doyle, and I'm so pleased it includes him patting his dog and saying "Woof woof, Champ" to it.

The Holly and the Ivy, 25: It's Christmas.

December Drabbles

25 Dec.: It's Christmas. Prompt: It's Christmas 😊

*

“It’s Christmas.”

Sherlock doesn’t usually go in for stating the obvious, so John waits for whatever prompted that announcement. Nothing comes.

“Yeah?”

“I like it now.” Sherlock’s tone is bemused, as if he’d woken up in a different body.

John thinks he knows why, but still asks, “And why is that, love?”

“I’ll always associate it with our first … kiss.”

A little squeak as John pulls Sherlock to him mock-roughly and says, “Do me a favour. Associate it with our next kiss too.”

“But,” sadly, “it’s almost over.”

“It’s always almost over. And it’s always on its way back.”

In December I’ll be posting Johnlock drabbles daily, here and on AO3 (The Holly and the Ivy: December Drabbles) Mine are comfort snacks, not a proper storyline, just practicing here!

Nudge me if you want to be added or untagged. I'm pretty random about tagging, but will remove your name right away if you tell me to.

And thanks for reblogging!

Everyone gives Sherlock Holmes a hard time about being mean about Watson's writing, but honestly imagine you told your roommate "sure, you can write up an account of my work for the newspaper," thinking it would be like, about the murder, but then he publishes it and it's 90% about you, as a person, and it's a huge hit and now everyone in London knows that you hoard newspapers and do cocoaine when you're depressed. Because I think you'd be little miffed too.

idk why people block me, and frankly i don’t care. i’ve got my age up, you can block if you want, but please also block this blog or something so i can stop following you and trying to reblog from you

my main blog is a dead RP blog for john watson, here at @loyalbloggerwhowaits, but my active blogs are: @astralwashboard and @cannabiscasgate

i’m 31, and it’s posted on all my blogs. i like from this blog and i use my queues because it’s how i’ve always blogged. again, if you need to block me, just block all the blogs, not just one of them, cause i still follow people who apparently have me blocked on only one blog. i just want to tumblr, folks, i don’t want to argue until i do lol. no hard feelings, just.. idk. make it a little easier on an old soul and block my main blog, not just my sideblogs. i’ll leave y’all alone. it’s fine.

I don’t think I can emphasize enough just how much Elementary understood the core of Sherlock Holmes’ character, and the kind of cases and people he is drawn to, right from the very first episode.

The pilot opens with a wealthy woman’s murder. The prime suspect is a man who is a patient of the woman’s husband, a doctor, for help with his mental disorder. The man is desperately trying to avoid any triggers that may cause him to become violent, as he has been in the past. The doctor decides to use this man as a tool to kill his wife to collect her life insurance. He manipulates both his patient and his wife, alters the man’s medications, and ignores the man’s pleas for help, in order to set a scenario that is guaranteed to trigger the man’s violence - resulting in his wife’s death and later his patient’s.

When Sherlock pieces this together, he confronts the doctor, which leads to this:

And that’s what drives Sherlock to confront the doctor directly. There’s no smugness in being right, or for figuring out who the murderer was and how he did it. Sherlock realizes that this man’s patient was just another victim - someone who desperately wanted and sought help, only to be mistreated. Sherlock Holmes in this adaptation cares so deeply about people, especially those who are denied help when they need it most, and we learn all of this from the very first case.

Raffles and Irene Adler are friends. They met at a party during his first tryst with Jacques Saillard and realized they had a great deal in common.

give me holmes and watson in a queerplatonic relationship. give me holmes and watson that never marry and never get married. give me holmes and watson that remain eternal bachelors in the eyes of the world, because they've already found the partner they want to spend their life with. give me holmes and watson sharing soft moments of domesticity. give me holmes playing the violin every night because he knows it helps watson fall asleep. give me watson making holmes breakfast because he knows holmes forgets to eat when he's on a case. give me holmes and watson sharing a quiet night in after a good adventure, sitting by the fire and laughing heartily at their exploits, or putting together a jigsaw puzzle on a sunday afternoon. give me watson yelling at holmes for solving the crossword before him every morning because he wasn't even looking at the newspaper, he's just sitting over there smoking his pipe with that devilish look in his eye. give me holmes and watson sleeping in separate beds but in the same room; watson's side is neat as a pin and holmes' side is an unholy mess. watson begs him to clear it up. holmes knows where everything is and refuses to upset its delicate balance. give me holmes and watson bickering like an old married couple. give me watson helping holmes get dressed for a social event he probably doesn't want to go to, and gently knotting his tie. give me holmes and watson who love each other more than anything in the world, and it would never cross their minds to be physical with each other. they don't need to. they already know they're each other's soulmate.

give me holmes and watson in a queerplatonic relationship.

guys i just discovered mouse sherlock (i know i’m late let me have this)

THE BLUE CARBUNCLE, part one - almost all dialogue taken directly from the story, which I find to be so charmingly written! This takes place right after the events of Christmas Eve. If Holmes guessing presents makes you laugh, then let me also recommend you watch this 1991 SNL sketch (it IS gay)

(this is the Watson's Sketchbook series!)

OH EDITED TO ADD that I totally stole Sidney Paget's wonderful posing for the first panel, it's one of my favorite Holmes illustrations:
