Truly, the women of the Sherlock Holmes canon and the surrounding media are beautiful and excellent and messy and awful and human, human, human... and the fandom does not deserve them.

“#sherlock’s reliable rage bait is blackmailers and frauds”

Thinking about the Holmes story where a blind girl goes to him and is like "My fiancé is missing and he kept telling me the week leading up to his disappearance that he would always love me and come back for me,were anything to happen so I think he knew he was in trouble and I love him so much and I'm going to wait for him but I'd like to find him faster,ya know?" And Holmes figures out that it was this girl's parents to scam her out of money she was owed from an estate which she gave to them because she was still living at home,which she wouldn't be if she ever married,so her step father PRETENDED TO DATE HER for MONTHS to keep her from ever getting engaged to a real person and when Holmes finds out he confronts this man and this man is like "Well,you caught me! But it wasn't illegal:) so:)" and Holmes is like "No,but it was sickening and cruel and if she had a brother or good male friend he should post you up and whip you but she doesn't." And the man is like "No,she doesn't." And does the Victorian version of sticking his tongue out and Holmes is like "Well,I guess I'll do then!" And HE PULLS OUT HIS HUNTING WHIP.

I'm seeing a pattern here...

”#out of this batch it's clearly Holmes, #my boy is behaving abominably, #I don't think he understands this but it's still very not on and not even a very good plan, #Jabez Wilson is a bit rude and too full of himself, #but that really can't compare to faking a fatal illness and saying horrible cutting things to your best friend to preserve an illusion, #none of the rest of these people qualify”

I really had to stretch the definition of "client" for this one, but I'm dead set on including one from each case. I am excited to see the results for this one--don't forget to include your rationale in the tags!

QUESTION!!

Love this request!! Did you want this as NSFW or SFW??

[faithful-grigori]

“#i tend to in general have lots of affection for young professionals being given scammy opportunities so violet hunter and hall pycroft too#and mr melas mr melas my beloved, #but i think the queering the basically assistant detective/absolute scammed ninny binary really gives phelps and sutherland the edge, #plus the theme of trying to make it in the working world is strong with them as well, #mary insisting in her clerical work and independent income despite visual defect and not really needing to, #and percy a bright career threatened by caffeine addittion :(”

I think Percy Phelps and Mary Sutherland are some of my favorite clients bc they hit a very similar characterisation note that I like, which is Dumb Of Ass + slightly annoying/flawed in an histrionic way but however EXTREMELY proactive, it gives such an unique charming flavor to the case that really works for me in distinguishing them in a comparatively homogenous mass of clients

Pride and prejudice (2005)

dir. joe wright

[anza-redstar]

I’ve been listening to a bunch of the 1940s-era Sherlock Holmes radio plays lately, and while I’m not exactly recommending these (it’s a specific taste), some of these episodes I have got to make a note of for future reference, including:

“The Second Generation,” in which I learn yet another way to pronounce the name ‘Irene’, and also Holmes gets a classic he-was-smuggling-wheelbarrows pulled on him by Irene Adler’s teenage daughter.

“The April Fool’s Day Adventure,” where young Holmes and Moriarty are provided with a backstory jewel-theft-meet-cute.

“The Mad Miners of Cardiff,” which was written by somebody who yearned to be an author of cosmic horror and at the last minute remembered that they were supposed to be doing a mystery-of-the-week script.
