Just started reading Sherlock Holmes and all the adaptations are wrong. This man is a delight. He gets excited about hemoglobin and is ecstatic at the thought of Watson as a roommate. He purposefully forgets how the solar system works so he has more room in his brain for crime. He shows Watson the dirt stains on his trousers and he can tell what part of London they come from based on color and consistency. (As far as i can tell Watson didn't ask, Sherlock just gets back from walks and tells Watson about the stains unprompted.) The text specifically says "Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with." Why does every adaptation make him unpleasant and rude, he's literally just eccentric. He's such a goober, I love him.

"Dr Watson, this is Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes, this is Dr Watson. You're going to spend the rest of your days together and your lives will be so intertwined and profoundly changed by the other that your very names will feel incomplete when spoken separately, and your story will become a paradigm of human love for generations. Also, enjoy saving on rent."

-Stamford, 1881

My take on the Sherlock Holmes books

[sherlock-thoughts]

Mycroft: my brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?

Me: that he has one? That he cares and wants to help ppl?

John, the idiot that he is: idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“It is a universal truth that we take the good things in life for granted, the good people in life. Until they are no longer there, and then we miss them. We miss them very much.”

Hey all! Re the current blog panic:

John’s blog is archived here.

Sherlock’s blog is archived here.

Connie Prince’s website is archived here.

Molly Hooper’s diary is archived here.

I’m going to pin this post to the top of my blog for a while, but please do spread this about so other Sherlockians can still have access to these wonderful resources!
