Sherlock "I'm married to my work and also this one man who found his way into my life" Holmes

Does anyone else just occasionally miss the Victorian intimacy of calling someone by their first name?

So, watching Sherlock for the millionth time, and still have a question about the pool scene.

What PLATONIC reason did they have for John to say, 'I'm glad nobody saw' Saw what, John? Sherlock saving you from being blown up and removing a literal bomb off of you?

No, of course not. He instead, says , 'you ripping my clothes off in a darkened swimming pool.' Really? John, you deprived buffalo. The implications are the first thing you think about? You almost get blown up and shot by snipers, and the first thing that comes to your head is Sherlock Holmes taking your clothes off. People seeing and thinking you're possibly gay for Sherlock. Maybe the only person worried about being seen as gay for Sherlock, is you. Yes, John. That's right. You're in denial. You know it's true, and that's why you're so funny about being seen in any situation that might suggest it. (Him also saying, 'now people might really talk!' after he has to hold hands with Sherlock. - Whilst they're running from the police, for crimes that could get them years in jail.)

John Watson has been in serious denial for four seasons, much to the dismay of Sherlock. I just adore the silly little doctor.

This is one of the reasons why I love Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes so much. He laughs, he smiles, he leaps over furniture, he takes the mick out of rich clients, he giggles and stims, he's true to the character and an utter delight while doing so!

it's always funny to me whenever adaptations make sherlock holmes this brooding, edgy cynic, because in acd canon sherlock holmes has a fantastic sense of humor and is always so amused by everything. i mean, the sheer amount of times this man just bursts out laughing upon realizing something fundamental about a case is kind of iconic in the original stories. he really is just this funny little man who finds a special sort of joy in the macabre.

One of my favourite little quirks of his

Sherlock-tut-tut-Holmes

The silly

[mouse-of-mischief]

Absolutely obsessed with the headcanon that Watson sings like an angel and Holmes can't sing for his life.

"My dear fellow," said Sherlock Holmes, as we sat on either side of the fire in his lodgings at Baker-street, "life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind could invent. (...)"

Self care is writing fan fiction that you are the sole target audience for.

[mouse-of-mischief]

That feeling when I see the sun rising outside my window and I realise that I've once again spent the entire night reading Johnlock fanfiction and/or the original Sherlock Holmes stories once again.

We had superwholock. I feel like we need a fandom word for people who are really into the canon Sherlock Holmes/A.J. Raffles/ Jeeves and Wooster/ Hercule Poirot genre.

Since Watson is canonically an unreliable narrator, anything could have plausibly happened behind the closed doors of 221B. He doesn't tell us readers everything. Any sort of twist could have happened during a case that he couldn't write for the public... Like all those times he kissed Sherlock Holmes.

[mouse-of-mischief]

THIS!! YES!! Bloody hell, I thought I was the only one internally screaming this from the rooftops.

Seeing fanart of a character being drawn as skinny when they're not supposed to be SKINNY is the most enraging thing ever, especially when said character was only skinny because of a bad period of their life and yes I am talking about my guy Watson who did not suffer during the war and come back to be REHABILLITATED and become HEALTHY by gaining weight he SHOULD NOT have lost just to be drawn looking extra skinny when, in fact, beefcake Watson is the best and healthiest and happiest version of Watson. Holmes and Mrs Hudson would have been going out of their way to make sure that this poor traumatised doctor was being fed, please don't dismiss their good work.

THIS! This right here is what I mean when I say that I want modern versions of Sherlock to be allowed to be emotional! Jeremy Brett did an amazing job as Holmes, and truly understood the source material.

​Holmes before and after being told he’s a good boy. I’m not crying, you are. 🥲

[mouse-of-mischief]

I'm losing my mind from adoring/obsessing over these two so much. Wouldn't have it any other way!

Hide!

Hide?

Quick, if you love me!

[mouse-of-mischief]

My constant mood, tbh.

It's getting to be that time where I have to write another Sherlock Holmes story...
