Sherlock Holmes Christmas card by Olivia Moy ( @luckychinacat ) (2019)

I do find it rather unfortunate, that of seventy-four thousand fics under the tag Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, 67,000 of them are specifically surrounding the BBC Sherlock series.

That's literally (over) ninety percent of all johnlock content right there

Though I do appreciate them in their own right,

Gimme more Victorian johnlock

Gimme more flowery language and old english

Gimme more period-typical homophobia (let me explain)

Give me "loving you would mean destruction for us both, but I'd gladly burn if it meant I remained by your side"

Give me devout adoration despite the consequences

Give me unconditional love in a world where it is deemed unholy

Give me hesitation and fear, because if one of us expresses our feelings and they are unreturned, then the other could simply turn me away and potentially even ruin my life and reputation, but if he loves me back then we might be able to be happy, together

Give me the dillema, to risk safety over happiness

Give me more Victorian johnlock please I beg

THE ADVENTURE OF CHARLES AUGUSTUS MILVERTON - part one of several, because this is one of my favorite Holmes stories! Ever since I read it I had a feeling there was something more...personal...going on with Holmes's hatred for Milverton than simply a principled stand against blackmail. A lot of this is directly pulled from the books but of course I took it in my own direction!

This is in the Watson's sketchbook series, and specifically references the Hound of the Baskervilles entry in that series :)

also thank you to my friend Phoenix for reading this when it was in sketch phase and reassuring me that it made sense!

Milverton design under the cut:

watson says he has a 'touch of Mr. Pickwick about him' so I tried to do Pickwick but...scary

NOT NORMAL ABOUT THEM HOURS AGAIN

“Excellent, Watson! You are scintillating this evening." - Sherlock Holmes, the Missing Three Quarter

EXCUSE ME?? SCINTILLATING?? AS IN

I am most decidedly NOT normal about this

"Wisteria" by Albert Watson, 1985.

I must admit, all this sketching has immensely improved my skills.

More headshot sketches of both Sherlock Holmes and his intimate acquaintance and colleague Dr. Watson.

At this point I had fallen head over heels for David Burke’s Watson.

Let them be content let them be cozy let them be happy

Also I'm very happy abt Holmes' face there, I think I did nice on the perspective - given that I struggle a lot w it

THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

2.01 The Copper Beeches

[doriana-gray-games]

can we get a snippet of Dr Watson taking care of Sherlock? :>

“You were foolish—“

“Calculating—“

“Foolish!”

“I miscalculated,” you correct. “Or missed some variable. Being wrong, in some small way, is not the same as foolish. Truly Watson, to think you so against learning, improving oneself by accepting failures—“

“YOU BROKE YOUR TOES!”

“Just the one toe…”

“The important one.”

“I don’t discriminate on such things.”

Watson pushes you down to remain on the bed. “I need to bind it. How’s your pain?”

“Tolerable. Unless…”

“No—“

“Then do not ask.”

Your good doctor had kept you in bed, elevated foot and everything for far too long now. It had been nearly an hour.

There’s tea on your cupboard. Extra sugars. And the very best biscuits, the one Watson hoards for the longest of days.

“Watson?”

They hum a soft sound, an acknowledgment, as they bind your broken appendage with steady and careful hands.

“If I am forced to endure monotony, I shall demand you do it with me.”

Watson looks at you, over those steady shoulders. A small smile across their lips. “I shall remain by your side. For as long as… as you need me, Sherlock. I can promise you that.”

The Case Of The Stolen Doctor (old repost)

aoiguuuuuug<- guy who is so normal about sherlock holmes

[ogsherlockholmes]

*average chronicler lies three times in their entries* factoid actualy just statistical error. average chronicler lies 0 times in their entries. Dr John Watson, who lies all the time and can't keep track of his lies which leads to a series of inconsistencies which can only be explained by his being an unreliable narrator and has lied One Thousand times, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
