THE FINAL PROBLEM - part 1 of ??many. If the context is confusing, please check the date and remember that we last saw Holmes in early 1891 - or better yet, read the original story!

This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

cursive text (which is all canon, btw) under the cut for those who need it:

4 May, 1893

It is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these, the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes was distinguished. In an incoherent and, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have endeavored to give some account of my strange experiences in his company. It was my intention to have said nothing of that event which has created a void in my life which the lapse of two years has done little to fill. My hand has been forced, however.

It lies with me to tell for the first time what really took place between Professor Moriarty and Mr. Sherlock Holmes...

Okay that's crazy, I knew the Criterion had a plaque, but apparently there's more?? Does anyone know if these two are it or are there more Holmes places with plaques?👀

When the yaoi so fire they have a memorializing plaque

THIS IS NOT ABOUT BBC SHERLOCK THIS IS NOT A BBC SHERLOCK POST THIS IS ABOUT ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE OLD MAN YAOI

I AM HERE TO ALERT YOU ALL THAT “The Bruce Partington Plans” CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING QUOTE:

“He [Holmes] snuggled down in his armchair”

You heard it here folks, Sherlock Holmes is canonically a snuggly boi.

I trust that you will be as SANE and NORMAL about this information as I am.

Based on that photo of Jeremy Brett's Holmes that I just love so much (and it kept showing up in my Pinterest so I took it as a sign to draw it)

The photo + the sketch

I just love it - look at him!!

Sherlock Holmes is such a fucking show off lmao. This guy says he’s the second smartest person in Europe and Holmes absolutely MUST one up him lol

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.

Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)

Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!

Spock and Sherlock Holmes are the same brand of “this character has been around for SO long and basically everyone agrees they’re gay or at least some flavor of queer. so much so that they’ve impacted the minds and hearts of GENERATIONS of queer people but for some reason, no matter how many adaptions and spin offs we get in the years since the original work, no one making the official work has had the guts to say it officially ”

i was supposed to be cool and mysterious like sherlock holmes but instead I can't stop yapping about anything and everything that interests me in the slightest. like sherlock holmes

The plasters on Holmes’s hand kill me, but you know his doctor will take care of him <3 (at least for now…)

things one must draw in order to cope when one is reading the Final Problem

When they make Sherlock Holmes and Irene Norton née Adler have sexual tension I get so angry that steam comes out of my ears. First of all that woman has a lovely husband whom she risked her well-being and outsmarted royalty for. Second of all, she’s like Lana Del Rey to Sherlock Holmes. He keeps a photo of her in the way stan twitter has screenshots of their fav artists. This is not a heterosexual dynamic.

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.

Imagine you're a man in the nineteenth century writing silly stories abt a silly detective and his dear army doctor and people are still talking abt the characters you created a century later. Must be crazy

This part of hound of the baskervilles was really interesting to read because it kind of implies that, even in their own time, phrenologists were seen as absolute fucking weirdos and deeply off-putting to the average person.
