#and watson was in love with him

[gaytobymeres]

anyway holmes is gay and in love with watson

Sherlock Holmes is a canonically queer character. He makes it abundantly clear that he has no intrest in women, he is not attracted to them, he has no intrest in marriage. He is queer.

If we take the canon texts at face value, he's aroace. But reading him as gay is also another very valid interpretation, given the time period in which the stories were written. Hell, maybe he's both.

Ultimately, I don't think it matters much. He's queer, and that makes me very very happy.

HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES part 6 (jfc). Made myself sad drawing a dead dog…he did not know any better than to try and eat sir henry :(

(pt 1) (pt 2) (pt 3) (pt 4)(pt 5) (pt 7)

There is one more Baskervilles update after this one……after all, Watson is not particularly good at keeping secrets.

It's difficult for you to say aloud, I know, so I won't ask you to. Rather, I would ask you to consider a proposal. Stay on permanently.

I really feel like one of the best details in “A Scandal in Bohemia” that I never see people fixate on enough is that the story starts with Watson stopping in to see Holmes at Baker Street on a complete whim, because he happens to see that he’s home (and Watson is now married and living elsewhere). Like he doesn’t send word first, he’s not invited, he just shows up and surprises Holmes. Which is not that weird but then Holmes is like “oh good, I’ve got a case anyway, you might as well hang out!” which just makes it funnier when the King shows up and is like “I’d really rather speak to you alone, actually” and Watson tries to leave and Holmes is just like “anything you can say to me, you can say to my best friend John Watson, and if you ask him to leave, I would consider it a grave insult, you would be my enemy and I will not help you ever!!” And the king is like “…ok” and just moves on.

like, that is crazy behavior. Holmes is talking about how there’s probably lots of money in this case, and then almost turns away the client for…not knowing who the fuck Watson is?? He’s not even supposed to be there?? He just came to say hi?? “It is both or none”… girl, GET UP.

bbc john watson is so funny because he’s characterized throughout the fandom as this kind, easy-going man who wears lots of jumpers and makes copious amounts of tea when in reality he literally shot a guy two hours after eye fucking his new flatmate, is kind of a sarcastic asshole who isn’t all that great in social settings, wears one or two jumpers (he owns a lot of jackets, though) and never makes tea once

He's just so *yippee!*, you know?

It’s interesting that Peter doesn’t recognize MJ in the hypothetical first chapter you put up!!! Do you have thoughts on why that is? Is it just the dark? When does he realize?

Good question! Peter has perfect night-vision, so even in the dark he could see her in high def 4k. But the reason he didn't make the connection is that his MJ and this MJ look like they're from totally different worlds. (haha)

Mary Jane (Peter's OG girl) is half-Filipino. She's tall and thin (almost gaunt) and has fire-engine red hair that comes straight from the bottle. Her eyes are also naturally dark. She was very much a goth/alt girl style, and is pierced/tatted much in the same way Peter is.

Meanwhile, Emma Jean (AKA Scarlet) is shorter and much curvier, more ripped because of her job. She's much paler and a natural red-head with traditionally green eyes. Her style also trends more towards 'insta-baddie'.

The biggest visual similarity they have is a penchant for gold jewelry- though Mary leaned towards rose-gold while Emma likes yellow-gold.

Peter realizes Emma Jean is this world's Mary Jane half a week into his job at Margaret's, when she drops her full name. (He's just known her as Emma up until then.)

He very valiantly keeps it together for her full shift while penciling in a breakdown for later that evening.
