Yeah the brainrot is real xx

“lol Arthur Conan Doyle clearly didn’t know anything about drugs. Sherlock Holmes did cocaine but it calmed him down. That’s not how cocaine works!”

There are two options: Arthur Conan Doyle had never met someone addicted to cocaine or he met some with ADHD who was addicted to cocaine

we are back with THE FIVE ORANGE PIPS...Holmes bungles a case and picks a fight. At least they're talking about it, right? CW for drug use and needles.

(I know I said I was going on hiatus but cloudstrike nonsense made it impossible to go on my trip, then I got covid, so I have been sitting at home slowly drawing old men sniping at one another)

(This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!)

@catlock-holmes This is the book and its cover that inspired me to do the art:

Title:

'Subcutaneously My Dear Watson: Sherlock Holmes and the Cocaine Habit'

by Jack Tracy, Jim Berkey

Morphine or Cocaine?

Watercolour and Colour Pencil, 6,7 x 9,4" /17 x 24 cm

This was inspired by a cover of a book about Holmes and the drug habit.

I made this in the end of September, but was not happy about it. Then Inktober came and I forgot about it.

There is a very specific version of Sherlock Holmes in my head, that I don't think exists in any modern adaptation, just lives rent-free in my head, but I keep thinking about him more and more, so maybe it's time I shared. (This is going to be a messy ramble/stream of consciousness btw. I am not sure if that makes any sense, I just need to push it out of my head. (okay, I warned you.))

I need a modern Holmes who is canonically autistic and ADHD, but high masking and late diagnosed. Perhaps even not diagnosed by the time he meets Watson. Holmes who learned to mask well enough/didn't have symptoms that were considered "typical" in the late 90s/early 2000s when (assuming he'd be in his late 20s/early 30s nowadays) he was a kid, so no one (including him) ever even considered the possibility of him being neurodivergent until John H. Watson M.D. met him.

I need Watson observing Holmes and going from "he's kinda weird isn't he" to "oh so that's that. Yea that tracks". Watson who discovers that Holmes is drugging himself up sometimes, and eventually deicdes to confront him about it, to learn that Sherlock is taking speed to "be able to think better" and things click. Holmes I think would be sceptical at first, but eventually he'd do a research and it'd change his life. Perhaps Watson could even help him find a specialist and get officially diagnosed. Seriously, think about it.

drug abuse/addiction cw for below the cut (and to a lesser extent the video)

In the context of the scene, I can imagine the intention of this line is a) some sneaky anti-drug propaganda, very in line with this era of film making or b) Holmes maybe panicking at how he's going to fake his way into not being hypnotized (long story), but-

I cannot help but wonder about Rathbone's particular delivery here. There's an almost deeper fear to his face than just a momentary concern.

A kind of thoughtfulness in the way he says 'drugs', like he's remembering what the word truly means to him. And then the line after that, almost pushed out, like a reminder to himself.

No, I'd rather not.

Obviously, we were never going to see Rathbone Holmes struggle with substance abuse, that particular image of the character wiped near clean to bolster the appearance of the wartime hero- stalwart, masculine and unaffected by common vice.

Until now, I had just sort of headcannoned him as one of the Holmes unlikely to struggle with addiction, until this scene came across now.

It makes me wonder about the brief glimpses of emotion under Holmes' dry exterior, of his clear discomfort existing in his feelings. It makes me wonder if any of the highest government officials look into his face and see that old vulnerability- if he lives in a fear of being found out, of being cast out and back into his crutch.

It makes me wonder about endless holidays in Scotland, of getting him to a river for as long as possible, to get him to breathe clean, wet air.

I wonder if this Watson knows.
