Hi Sherlock, are you comfortable with people fantasizing the intimate moments between you and John with generative ai?

Absolutely not.

While AI serves its purpose in science and data processing, it should never replace imagination or human creativity. What's next—people letting AI write stories about their beloved fictional characters or compose music? That's not innovation, it's intellectual laziness. A terrifying waste of the most powerful tool we possess: the human mind.

What’s your top three most uncanny sentences you’ve had had to say because of Sherlock? Like: ‘Put the pancreas down’, ‘That’s not your skull,’ or ‘Don’t inhale ether, you’re gonna throw up or set the couch on fire.’

1. “You cannot threaten someone with a thesaurus, even if it’s leather-bound.”

(Occurred during a disagreement with a museum curator. The thesaurus survived. The curator’s dignity did not.)

2. “That’s a human toe, Sherlock. Why is it in the butter?”

(Tuesday. Absolutely just… a regular Tuesday.)

3. “If you lick one more evidence slide, I’m calling Mycroft and telling him you’ve gone feral again.”

(He did. I did. We’re not discussing the fallout.)

More from my notebook:

4. I’m not sedating a goose, Sherlock, I don’t care how suspicious it looks.”

5. “You cannot keep naming your body parts after Greek gods. I am not calling your spleen ‘Apollo.’”

6. “Please take the eyeball out of the microwave. I need to reheat my tea.”

7. “No, you can’t collect footprints from the living room carpet. That’s mud. From your shoes.”

8. “For the love of God, do not use the toaster to simulate electrocution.”

9. “You said we were going out for milk. This is not milk. This is a hostage negotiation.”

10. “If I open that fridge and it’s another experiment, I swear I’m moving in with Greg.”

11. “Don’t wave that femur at me like you’re conducting Beethoven.”

12. “Sherlock, no jury on Earth is going to accept ‘boredom’ as a legal defense for arson.”

13. “Why is there a mannequin in my bed wearing my jumper and crying?”

14. “For the last time, Sherlock: Rosie is not your junior crime scene consultant, she is a toddler/child, and I am not explaining blood spatter analysis to her teacher.”

Greatings, Mr Holmes

I'm back momentarily because I need to show this

look what I found

How fortunate for the world that my physique has now been immortalized, M.

I trust they’ll survive the excitement.

Would Shadow The Hedgehog and Sherlock Holmes get along.

I would say that depends on which version of Shadow and Holmes we're talking about, so I'll be jumping between them lol

I can see canon Shadow (and the other members of Team Dark) being an Irregular of some sort, since he is a G.U.N. agent and part of his job is retrieving info (as seen in some of his missions over the years). He also has done that kind of stuff for private parties (the Chaotix, for example), so I can totally see him do it in behalf of Holmes (acd). Maybe he would also help out planning ways of catching criminals and stuff. I don't think they would be anything more than acquaintances though. Both characters have a tendency to not be actually close to more than one or two people, so yeah.

Now, if we were talking about canon Shadow and BBC Sherlock, that would be a little more complicated lol. If they ever ended up working together, it would be because of some external factor forcing them to do so, not voluntarily. I would say they would be kind of cordial to each other, as they would recognize the other as the best in their field, but they would also regard the other as extremely annoying. There would probably be alot of bickering between them and I would not like to be in a room with those two.

john watson is so good luck babe coded. especially the bridge.

UR SO RIGHT!! AAGHH!!

john watson who has had so many consecutive gfs that he got them confused. (one of those gfs saying he’d be a good bf to sherlock)

john watson who so adamantly denies that he’s gay, even at the slightest implication.

john watson who cheated on his wife and said ‘I’m not the man you thought I was. I’m not that guy. I never could be’ (he was bored by domesticity and lack of risk, yet risk was linked to sherlock from the very beginning - he needed ‘risk’ again)

Trick or treat!

Halloween is over and I was not prepared for anyone to ask for a trick or treat so I shall improvise by offering this "baby picture" of my dog. You can decide if this is a trick or a treat! <3

[daipeanutsaiban]

Opinion about Taylor Swift?

Overrated.

[thiswaycomessomethingwicked]

What's your favorite adaptation of Holmes as a whole?

Oh definitely the Granada series, hands down the best adaptation (to my mind, at least)

I love that they give Watson his proper due as a medical man and intelligent in his own right. I love that they capture the sheer dedication the two men have towards one another. And also the adaptation of the stories are fantastic

Runner up is the Russian Sherlock Holmes series with Vasily Livanov and Vitaly Solomin. It’s very Russian and therefore doesn’t feel at all like Victorian England, but I love the dynamic of Holmes and Watson. Like Granada, I appreciate how they write Watson and portray him as he feels like a real, intelligent, capable person rather than Side Kick that many versions reduce him to. It also has one of my favourite versions of Hound of the Baskervilles because omg the Canadian rep in that rendition is *chef’s kiss* like WHAT is happening there?? No one knows. But it’s got Vibes and Essence and I love it

(It’s not an adaptation, but I also did enjoy Game of Shadows with RDJ and Jude Law.)

Congratulations to all Trump voters; you have just lowered the IQ not only of the United States but of the entire planet.

Dear God, what is it like in your funny little brains? It must be so boring.

Do you like Sherlock's cooking, Dr Watson? What is your favourite among the dishes he's made?

You’re trying to get me in trouble, aren’t you?

Do I like @artofdeductionbysholmes his cooking? Well….That depends entirely on whether he’s actually cooking or conducting culinary experiments that technically qualify as biochemical warfare….

But when he does make an effort, and uses ingredients that don’t require gloves and ventilation, it’s… surprisingly decent. Bloody good, even.

There’s this mushroom risotto he makes. Doesn’t talk while he’s doing it. Just stirs and thinks.

It’s simple, comforting, and tastes like someone finally remembered to feed you after a long day.

That’s probably my favourite.

Yep.

important subtext: Jeremy Brett smoked 60 cigarettes a day and went out of his way to break nonsmoking area rules to do it

Mr Brett what do you think you're confirming here

(I think this was about this post - sorry, my notifications don't work.)

Oh yes, absolutely! Another piece of important context is that Jeremy Brett left his first wife for a man, and was in a relationship with actor Gary Bond from 1969 to 1976.

Now, I do not think that you can necessarily say that because Jeremy was a queer man, he had to play a queer Holmes. But I am sure that -when he thought about whether or not he thought that Holmes was queer for himself - he came up with a better explanation than 'He and Watson couldn't kiss because of the smoking'. I mean, this man made up an elaborate headcanon about Holmes's childhood to understand how to play him. Personally, I think that he probably saw Holmes as too isolated and emotionally repressed to act on any feelings he might have had for anyone. He has this wonderful friendship with Watson who by some miracle (and lots of patience, I'm sure) just understands him, and who doesn't even marry in the Granada adaption. It is perfectly clear the are 'exclusive', in every way the viewer choses to interpret their relationship. They are together and they always will be. (Oh no, now I'm thinking of the Lost Beekeeping Footage again ...)

I also think that Jeremy often was uncomfortable because he felt Holmes and he were very different and he struggled to get him 'right', and at the same time that Holmes was coming too 'close' and took over too much of Jeremy. I think there is a possibility that Jeremy deliberately tried to separate his own experiences and feelings from what he believed Holmes to have experienced and felt.

When he made that reply about the pipe, I think it is relatively certain he came up with that on the spot. It is clear that he could not have said 'Yes, I think Holmes and Watson are gay' without causing a massive scandal which would not only have meant trouble for Granada, but also journalists digging through his private life. In that light, it was possibly even brave to say "I think it's unlikely" and "If it cheers the gays up I'm thrilled". I think it was possibly necessary to frame it as a joke, first by citing David's "Well, we're not" and then by coming up with that stuff about smoking.

But it does look a bit suspicious from a man who has been chainsmoking throughout the whole interview, I agree. ;)

Why do you dye you hair black, babygirl? Stop it, my darling. Red suits you better, you're much sexier when you're ginger, love. And DI Lestrade (your lover) loves red btw.

Thank you, neverlet, for your unsolicited aesthetic opinion.

As for DI Lestrade’s preferences: I assure you, he speaks for himself. When necessary.

Since it's been going around, how would various pulp heroes take on the Death Note murders, and would they survive the ordeal?

A couple of clarifications:

There is a possibility that Ogon Bat, who is a "God of Justice", is either already some kind of shinigami, or at least able to speak with and interact with Ryuk just fine.

The Golden Amazon and Emilia the Ragdoll could definitely kick Kira's ass and solve the case, but they absolutely should not be aware of the existence of the Death Note, that would just make things worse.

You'd think The Monarch / The Blue Morpho getting his hands on the Death Note would be an equally apocalyptic scenario but I don't think he'd even know what to do with it. He very clearly just wants to get one guy, and became the Blue Morpho so he could kill everyone standing in the way of getting that guy, and he's very clearly been putting off killing that one guy for years now. The Death Note is the solution to a problem he defines his life around trying and failing to solve. He'd be stumped.

Doc Savage, well on one hand of course he would solve the case, he's Doc Savage, if Kira was in a Doc Savage story the whole Shinigami business would have been smoke and mirrors perpetrated by criminals with access to a heart attack inducing machine with a perfectly logical explanation. On the other hand, Doc Savage is one of the only guys in here who is globally famous with his full name and face on the papers, so realistically Kira would nail him very quickly. I'm gonna split the difference by saying Doc would solve the case either way.

Nick Carter does most of the things Doc Savage does except he actually does regularly encounter weird fantastical kitchen sink bullshit on the regular, so I think he'd have a much easier time wrapping his head around the Death Note's particulars.

The Spider would not intuit the mechanics of the Death Note, he probably would not be aware of there even being a thing as a Death Note, but by the end of the story in the last paragraph he would have killed Kira one way or another, very possibly by accident. Same goes for the sword-n-sorcery characters featured there, they would have gotten their kills by the end of it (Spear would probably have the easiest time, he's just a caveman with a giant tyrannosaurus on his side and neither of them have names Light can use to kill them, he's fucked)

Six-Gun Gorilla does have a name that Light could use, but A: He would never find out, B: He would never think a gorilla would be his undoing, and C: There's a decent chance Ryuk would let the gorilla hunt and kill him because it's funny and so would be handing Six-Gun Gorilla the Death Note.

Nyctalope would probably survive Kira's usual method of execution given his heart is artificial, but I don't think he'd be able to crack the case, he's not much of a detective. A lot of these characters were chosen because they have different skillsets that don't make them as suited for uncovering this case regardless of how smart they are.

There is a decent chance that Hugo Danner would figure out Kira by complete accident, and most likely beg Light to find a way to kill him.

Nick and Nora Charles would not solve it but they'd be okay, the case would probably solve itself and they'd laugh it off.

I could also put Blue Morpho, El Sombra, The Whisperer, Black Bat and Hugo Danner in a "Would somehow make the situation worse" category.
