And he's a legs and nose man, considering how very often he describes/mentions Holmes' in great detail. 😏

I get so happy when I gain a new follower, not because I care about numbers, but rather because it warms my heart to know that people are still obsessed with Johnlock to the point they would voluntarily read a stranger’s thoughts about cute little boys after all these years. Same here!

[mouse-of-mischief]

Oh, this is interesting! Here's mine-

Best Interpretation: I agree, definitely Granada

Favourite Interpretation(s): Sherlock & Co. and BBC's Sherlock (Though BBC is only as a sort of hate/comfort watch for pure nostalgia, tbh. It was the first visual adaptation of the stories I ever saw after Granada as a child, so it does hold a special place in my heart. But as the years go by, I fundamentally dislike it more and more because I see more and more of how utterly dirty it did my boys.)

Most Relatable Interpretation: Sherlock & Co., so far it's just perfect. <3

Here are my Sherlock opinions!

Best interpretation: Granada

Favorite interpretation: S&Co.

Most relatable interpretation: BBC

I’d love to see everyone else’s!!!

He looks like my mother's cat coming out of the bath. I love him.

PICK YOUR HEAD UP QUEEN YOUR CROWN IS SLIPPING

[mouse-of-mischief]

I woke up early today especially to say/boast this....

Happy birthday to both Sherlock Holmes and me!

I'm immensely happy to have had this wonderful man stay so alive for 171 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed having his stories kept in my heart throughout my whole life.

[mouse-of-mischief]

Watson always describes (and looks at) Holmes with the complete adoration an artist would for their muse.

He brightened and rubbed his thin hands together as he listened to the meagre but remarkable details. A long series of sterile weeks lay behind us, and here at last there was a fitting object for those remarkable powers which, like all special gifts, become irksome to their owner when they are not in use. That razor brain blunted and rusted with inaction. Sherlock Holmes's eyes glistened, his pale cheeks took a warmer hue, and his whole eager face shone with an inward light when the call for work reached him. 

'His whole eager face shone with an inward light' oh Watson you besotted darling

[mouse-of-mischief]

You know what? I hope Sherlock & Co. goes mad with their version of Mycroft. I hope they just have the best time with him. I hope they look at the version of Mycroft played by Stephen Fry who wandered about naked in his home, my favourite on-screen Mycroft btw, and say "I'll do you one better". I hope they do the scene where Mycroft is first introduced by having him deduce things in a little game with Sherlock justice like the Granada series did. I hope they make him just as much as a little freak (affectionate) as Sherlock. I need more loveable weirdo Mycroft.

[mouse-of-mischief]

Sorry to get all sappy, but his existence is an utter miracle. He feels so real to me and many other fans, and therefore he is as far as I'm concerned. We love you, Sherlock Holmes, indeed.

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

[mouse-of-mischief]

Scurrying on top of a building like a feral cat one second, and then contentedly sitting on it's roof's edge the next. He is the most character of all time. Just he.

hes such an oddball….. i loev him…

The Three Gables parts 1 and 2 Sherlock & Co. Thoughts and Spoilers!

So, pardon my language, but John's going to be fucking pissed, isn't he? And I don't mean the obvious, "oh, he's going to be upset that Mariana is recording him without consent". I mean she and Sherlock are out-right LYING to his face now. In part two that just came out, they both lied to him about working on a case, a potentially dangerous one at that too, in such a way that made it clear that John wants to know about these things and doesn't like being kept in the dark at all. And just after that, Mariana ignores John's use of the safeword in favour of going off to investigate more. That word that had so much importance behind the making of it in the first part to help John with his grief and discomfort. Mariana and Sherlock may have good intentions and feel guilt about what they are doing, infact we actually can say for certain that they do, but crossing so many of John's boundaries all in one night when he himself has admitted that he is so fragile is going to end up in a huge explosion of an argument in the next and final part, isn't it? Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it caused some angst in our little group in the form of John getting trust issues, considering how close they've all been up until now and how much John is already hurting. Strap in, mates, I have a huge feeling that Mary's death in The Sign of Four was a kick off point for a long series of drama.

[mouse-of-mischief]

Mate, you are not alone! I feel like this all the time, and I've basically built my own entire Sherlock Holmes adaptation in my head that I love to mess about with constantly. For example, I want a Mrs. Hudson played by Miriam Margolyes.

I have so many ideas for a Sherlock Holmes adaptation that will never be made

And I also get sad because I get worried that people will be bored with the same stories being adapted over and over

But at the same time, I love that these stories are being told again and again, like fairy tales or something

I have no idea what my point is, I just want an ACD canon accurate animated adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, ok???

[mouse-of-mischief]

I was looking up different kinds of coats for reference when I found THIS, and...

I cannot stop imagining Sherlock & Co.'s Sherlock wearing this! Just seeing him wrapping it around himself like a cocoon when he curls up in a seat, flapping it dramatically behind himself when he paces, etc.

I'm unreasonably happy about this thought!

[mouse-of-mischief]

The people have spoken! Thank you for helping me decide. I will now forever imagine John Watson with the warmest brown eyes, just like the absolute puppy/guard dog of a man he is.

I keep going back and forth regarding what eye colour I think ACD Watson and Sherlock & Co.'s Watson has, because we never see them and haven't gotten a description of them. Or, with Sherlock & Co., at least not yet. I've always pictured him with either brown eyes or green eyes, so what do you lot think?

[mouse-of-mischief]

Sign of Four Sherlock & Co. Thoughts and Spoilers!

Bloody hell, Mary's death actually made me cry. John talking to us about it like a parent explaining death to a child for the first time made me cry even more. The fact that John knows the show is a comforting thing for us listeners, and feeling like he has to apologise for the darker times made me cry. It made me feel like now it's our turn to be there for him. Mary's death was so much more impactful in this than any other adaptation that I've ever seen. We heard her get hurt, we listened to her get better and start to be happy again, and then she was gone. It feels like an actual death that you could experience in real life from a family member or friend. The realistic aspect of it and the sound of John crying made me actually need to sit in silence for a moment once I finished the episode just to process it. Damn it, this show is so good and I adore it so much. It has become my favourite adaptation, and I can't wait to hear more.
